HT4557 question! do you have to actually be at home, like using the same wi-fi network as the computer? or can you stream this music from somewhere else? and does the computer need to be one?

for example, can you be using another wi-fi network, for example in another country? and still stream music from my mac to ipad for free? and does the mac have to be on?

You could use something like Splashtop Remote Desktop on your Mac and iPad. This streams your Mac's desktop to your iPad so you can have full access to everything on your Mac anywhere in the world, as long as your Mac is turned on and connected to a network and your iPad has a data connection. It can stream full audio and video from your Mac. It is not exactly home sharing but it does what you want fairly well, with the added bonus of being able to use your Mac from anywhere. Search for Splashtop on the App store for more information. It normally sells for around $10 but is frequently on sale for as low as 99c, so have a look and see if it's for you while you wait for it to go on sale. I can confirm this works as I use it daily to work on my Mac from my iPad while at work.

    Also, if you sync to the same computer/iTunes library use the manual method so only checked items sync to the device

  • On the iPhone, if you move an e-mail from the In box to Junk, will iPhone automatically place future e-mails from the same sender into Junk? In other words, can you teach iPhone to recognize Junk as you do on a Mac?

    I don't think so, you would need to set that on your browser when you log into your email account.

  • How can I put my music from my iPod nano onto my computer?

    I bought an iPod nano 7th generation and all was well until my pc died. I quickly rebacked it up onto an external hard drive and only got about an eighth of my music left. FOrtuneately, my iPod has got all of my music on there!
    I'm using someone elses laptop at the moment, which only has a fraction of my music at the moment, and I wondered if it was possible if I could transfer my music from my iPod onto this new laptop, temporarily.
    I figured it would be an everyday thing Apple offered to its customers, but I suppose there might be some poxy copyright laws of something silly like that.
    I'm running Windows 7 at the mo.

    Do this first:

    Then after that is done, you can transfer your other songs from your iPod to your new computer.

    I just got a new computer, how do I move my music from my ipod to my computer

    for purchases from the iTunes store do this:
    authorize iTunes on your new machine for your iTunes store account(s). connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.

  • Hi,i hav a new laptop nd my songs on iphone is not stored in this computer,how can i store this songs from my iphone to my computer using itunes?? i hav tried other third party softwares but to use them i need to pay....pls help if possible.

    I am using itunes 10.4.1.10 version nd my iphone 4 is on 4.3.5....if anyone can help me would be very greatfull.
    Thank you.

    If you are not interested in purchasing any software, then your only other choice would be to take your iTunes backup that you made of your iTunes library and copy that over to the new computer. If you do not have that, then it could be difficult. However, if all of the content was purchased through iTunes, then after authorizing the computer with the Apple ID the songs were purchased on, you can transfer the purchases to the new computer.

  • How can i sync my music from my iPod into a new computer because my old one is dead

    I bought the macbook air and want to sync my music from my ipod into itunes. Of course its not letting me because it says if I want to sync it will erase everything. Is there anything I can do so I could keep all my music and still sync? I no longer have access to my old computer because it completely died on me.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to do this, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

  • HT1329 how can i move my music from my ipod to a new computer? i no longer have access to my old computer

    i am trying to transfer the music i have on my ipod to a new computer but i no longer have access to the old computer. Is there anyway that this can be done?

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer. The exception is purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • I have an Ipod touch but I just got a new computer, how do I get my music from my ipod onto my new computer?

    I just got a new computer and I want to transfer my music from my ipod touch to my new pc....how can I do this?

    The ipod is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • How Can I transfer my music from my phone to a new computer?

    Basically my phone is smashed to pieces however before claiming on the insurance, I need to transfer all my music on to a new computer, as the main one I used in the past is no longer with me! is there a way I can do it??
    Thanks in advance!

    If, as you say, you have backed up your purchased music, then you do not need to get it from the phone. Just get it out of the backup, or from your old computer, and copy it to the new computer.
    OTOH, if the only copy of the music is on your phone, then you may be out of luck. It depends on how badly damaged it is. If you can still get it to connect to the computer, you could use [Senuti|http://www.fadingred.com/senuti> to download the music from your phone to the computer. If you can't get it to connect, though, and you don't actually have a backup copy anywhere else, your music is gone.
