HT4557 Sharing music between home iMac and iPad

Hi,
i have turned on Home Sharing on my iMac and iPad but I cannot see the More option leading to the Shared option in my iTunes. Any suggestions?
Thanks

First of all - The More button is in the Music App at the bottom of the screen - not in iTunes.
Launch iTunes on the Mac and go to iTunes>Preferences>Sharing. Do you have Share Library on Local Network selected?
In the iPad settings go to Music>Apple ID. Are you signed in?

HT4783 Why can I not airdrop between my iMac and iPad Air?

Is there a way to airdrop between my iMac and iPad Air?

AirDrop uses different systems to transfer data in iDevices and Macs, so you cannot use AirDrop between an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad and a Mac. If you want this feature, send the idea to Apple > http://www.apple.com/feedback
Instead, there are other ways to transfer data between the Mac and your iPad, like Dropbox, or use iTunes.

Sharing files between my imac and my MacBook Air?

How do I share files between my imac and my 2nd generation MacBook Air?
I have my imac that holds alot of files that I want to transfer over to my MacBook Air. How do I do this at home through a wireless network. I enabled file sharing on my Imac and MBA. This did not work. Any Help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

I've used Apple's file sharing for years but two programs have made my life tons easier. One is the freeware DropCopy - install it on both computers and you'll see a black dot on your desktop. Drag a file onto the dot and it is copied to the other computer. If you have more than 2 computers you can easily select which computer gets the file.
The second is the freeware program DropBox. Like DropCopy you need to install the program on both computer. Unlike DropCopy, DropBox watches a folder on your computer called DropBox and any file put into it gets synced to the cloud and from there copied to the other computer. One of the great things about DropCopy is that you can also access your files via the Internet.

Home Sharing: Music App on iPhone and iPad skips from track to track without playing.

Home Sharing is working from my iMac, OSX 10.9.3, iTunes 11.2.2(3) to my AppleTV, 6.1.1. I can see my iTunes library and play/view music, video and photos. No problems.
I have problems when trying to do the same on my iPhone and iPad.
Using the Music app on my iPhone 4, iOS 7.1.1 I frequently have to re-connect to my iTunes library. However nothing will play in any mode. It just skips from one tune to the next right through to the end of the list without playing any of them.
Using the Music app on my iPad 2, iOS 7.1.1 connecting to my iTunes library is more reliable. Single tunes play through, albums & playlists play through all tunes in sequence. However if I select shuffle then it just skips from one tune to the next right through to the end of the list without playing any of them.
I have only tried sharing to my iPhone/iPad in the last few days so I have no experience of doing this on previous versions.

Today
Music on iPad does not even give me the Sharing option.
Music on iPhone offers Sharing and does indeed connect to my iTunes library. It has all my albums on display. Whoopee you think, is ths a breakthrough? Unfortunately, NO. Play any album and it just skips from one tune to the next right through to the end of the list without playing any of them.
Please bear in mind that no infrastructure has changed during these posts. Same network, hardware and software.
Conclusion:
Home Sharing is useless except between iMac and AppleTV.
Is there anyone out there in Apple land who can convince me otherwise?

Synching between iPhone imac and iPad

Have a weird issue. Normally when I plug the iphone or iPad2 into the iMac the sych started automatically. This morning I have done the same as usual and nada...it still makes that cute little trill when you plug the two toegether but thats it......when I open the sync app manually the devices are not there and if I try to find them they do not show up.......I even downloaded updates uncase something was wrong there. Last time I synched was about a month ago. The only thing I have done otherwise between teh iphone and the imac is to use image capture to transfer photos fromteh phone to the iMac.....

Launch iTunes.
From the menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Devices tab.
Deselect: Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically then click OK.
when I open the sync app manually the devices are not there and if I try to find them they do not show up.
Should be recognized under Devices left side of the iTunes window in the source list.
Try here > iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

Sharing music between ipod, iphone, and samsung touch screen cp

i have an ipod and an iphone. how do i share music between the two with a samsung touch screen cp
it shows up in the library but will not share with either iphone or ipod

- For this:
Thank you very much! I just need to be sure my texts from my work iPhone don't show up on the iPod. I can turn off the iMessage app
Go to Settings>Messages>Send and receive and make sure you emaill address and phone number do not appear. Delete them if necessary. You can then add her own email address so you can message her.
- The iPod will only use a phone number for Messages if the Account used to set up the iPod includes an iPhone and the iPod has iOS 6. You can't add non-iPhone number to Messages on an iPod.

Syncing music between macbook, iphone and iPad via iCloud

Question: I downloaded an album to my Macbook. I thought since I use icloud that it would be available on my iphone and ipad, but it isn't. How do I get it on those devices? Thanks.

You will need to enable automatic downloads on the iPad and iPhone in order for the songs to be automatically be available
Settings App
iTunes & App Stores
This only works for purchases made once this is enabled.
For previous purchases launch the iTunes app on the iPad or iPhone and select more and then purchased to download.

Is there a way to file share between an iMac and iPad?

I'm curious as to whether or not you can file share between an iPad and an iMac. The main reason would be in case my wife or I were working on something on the iMac downstairs, we could "pull it up" on the iPad upstairs without having to sync it with the cable....or perhaps I'm just lazy...

check out FileBrowser.
another option may be Dropbox.

How do i get itunes to sync all my music between my imac and my macbook?

Hi!
I have all my music stored currently on my imac. With icloud, i was under the impression that all my music would be able to be synced over to my imac for when i am not at home. It seems that any new songs i buy from itunes are synced across and available on both devices but is it possiblt to sync everything across (including things i purchased before icloud)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The two computers do not sync. It appears that you have successfully enabled automatic downloads for both computers, which is great for new purhases.
For purchases before automatic downloads, you'll have to go get them for each computer. You'll be able to download them all or just the ones not currently in your library. This explains how: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

Sharing internet between Macbook Pro and iPad mini

My Macbook pro is connected to a wireless internet hotspot which i pay weekly for, called bizportal. I then have this connected to a Wifi Router. Ive recently purchased an Ipad Mini and would like to connect this to the hotspot too. Ive clicked the internet sharing option in system preferences on my Macbook, but then I look on my Ipad and my Macbook Pro doesnt seem to come up in Wifi options, What can I do now?

You cannot connect the iPad directly to the hotspot? I know nothing about your particular hotspot but I can connect up to 5 devices with the Verizon MIFI2200 that I use. I have connected 3 devices successfully at one time but have never had to try more than that.

Files shared from iTunes via iMac and iPad.

On my iPad2, when using Keynote, when trying to 'copy files from iTunes' the files retrieved are greyed out. What is the solution to enable me to retrieve my .jpgs or .png files from my Mac (into Keynote). iTunes is supposed to work but the files are grey...

I should probably clarify my response.
I am assuming that you want to move images for the Mac to the iPd so that you can place/import them into Keynote. If that assumption is correct, one very easy way to get the images into the iPAd would be to drag them into the Photos Stream in iPhoto - if you use Photos Stream and iPhoto on the Mac. From the Photos app on the iPad, you can save the images to the camera roll album and then place them into Keynote.
If using iTunes, you would have to place the photos into a folder and then sync that folder via iTunes and if you do use iPhoto, you could just include that album into your next sync without removing any other albums or events on the iPad. Select that folder, along with all of the other albums and events that you want to sync in the Photos tab of iTunes.

Sharing iTunes between an iPhone and iPad is causing me grief

I have an iPhone 3Gs and an iPad 3G. Whenever I sync either of them, iTunes dumps all of my iPad apps onto my iPhone and vise versa. So I have to manually go and delete all the iPhone apps from my iPad and my iPad apps from my iPhone.
Is there a way to stop this from happening? Shouldn't iTunes know to keep the two devices and their apps separate?
Much thanks in advance for any help.

Not sure if this it the best way, but once you hook up either your iphone or your ipod to itunes there is a tab called Apps under the device where you can manually check which apps you want to synch to that particular device. (uncheck the ones you don't want on that device.) Do the same on the other device and it should stay that way next time you hook up each device. You can do this after the initial automatic synch.

Sync of all mail folders between iCloud, iMac, and iPad

Share iMovie project between iMac and iPad?

Is it possible to share and continue a iMovie project between a iMac and iPad?
Or the share is only possible between iOS devices?

In general the simplest way would be to store the document in iCloud, and use iCloud to access the document from both your iMac and iPad.
But your post above says you're running Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.4). Snow Leopard is now two years old. I'm not sure it supports iCloud.
