IPad 3 adding music using home sharing

I have home sharing set up correctly between my computer, laptop and and iPad 3.
When I open my music in my iPad I can view the music from my laptop, but I don't see a way to add the music so its there when I'm not connected.
Im pretty sure its easy on the ipad 2. Is there a way on the iPad 3 to add the music from my laptop?

I think that you can only use it to share music to the iPad, but not to copy the music into the iPad's Music app.

  • How can I share the music on my ipad with my imac using home sharing?

    I’ve been trying to share the music on my ipad with my imac. I've set my apple ID account on both of them but I can't get any of the songs I purchased on my ipad to my imac. Even though, when I click my albums it shares the music on my imac to  my ipad. the reason why I couldn't do this before was that I had recently purchased my ipad and created a new account that was different from the account on my imac. so can I use home sharing on itunes with my ipad and imac? and if not then how else could I share the music on my ipad to the itunes on my imac?

    iOS: Setting up Home Sharing on your device - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4557 - "With Home Sharing in iOS 4.3 or later, you can stream your entire iTunes library over your home Wi-Fi network from your Mac or PC right to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch."
    The above makes it sound like it is one way, computer to mobile device.  Perhaps something below says differently.

  • How do I transfer non-iTunes music files from my iPad to my MacBook using home sharing?

    My MacBook Pro hard drive recently had to be replaced by Apple, because it quit for some reason they couldn't identify. However, now my ipad2 doesn't recognize my macbook pro and I have at least 200 music files in my library on my iPad that I did not get from iTunes. I need to upgrade my iPad to iOS 5 but I also don't want to lose all those music files. I was hopeful I could use home sharing to sync my iTunes libraries, but I can't figure out how to export files from my iPad. Please help, anyone?

    I was hopeful I could use home sharing to sync my iTunes libraries,
    Unfortunately, you can only stream content to your iOS devices via home sharing (not sync it).
    I'd have a check through the following user tip instead:

  • Transfering Music using Home Sharing with iTunes 9.2.1

    I used home sharing on many occasions in earlier versions of iTunes just for playing music. The shared libraries had a small house icon next to them. Everything was fine and dandy until I decided to step it up a bit, by attempting to transfer music from my main library (on my iMac with iTunes 9.2.1) to my PC laptop (running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with iTunes 9.2.1). A cryptic error message was shown when i tried to drag a song from my shared iMac library to my hard drive library (on my pc), following the icon for the library changing to a blue stack of music notes. I then tried the reverse, attempting, on my imac, to change the home sharing settings so that my library would sync with my pc's library, after which the icon changed to the blue stack of music notes. In both cases, the "Settings..." button and "Import" buttons disappeared as shown in the following graphic:

    Both computers now will play each other's library music but will not allow for me to change home sharing settings nor transfer the music.
    If anyone knows how to rectify this issue or can better explain why iTunes is acting this way, please respond to this post. Your responses will be greatly appreciated.

    in order for home sharing to work
    (a) iTunes on all machines must be authorized for the same iTunes store account
    (b) all machines must be on the same network
    (c) all machines must have access to the internet.

  • Unable to import music using home sharing?

    My family and I used to have a shared iTunes account on an HP desktop computer. Over the years we have created our own accounts and since I just got the iPhone 4s I thought I should make my own. I have iTunes 10 and Windows Vista (I am using an HP laptop). I authorized my computer and created a home sharing account so I could transfer my music on to my laptop. I read the directions on the Apple website and followed all the directions until it says "Click the import button in the lower right hand corner." There's one small problem...there's no import button! I've also tried copy and paste, and that doesn't work either. Please help me and thank you

  • How do I share my iTunes library to an iPad without using "Home Sharing"?

    I have set up my iTunes library to be shared with others over our home network.  This is the "Share your library" option, and NOT "Home Sharing" since my wife has her own Apple ID and I, unfortunatly, have 2.  She was wanting to listen to our music on her iPad but could not figure out how to access the shared library.  The "Music" app (click more, select library) only seems to work for Home Shared libraries.  (In fact, I had tried Home Sharing first and when I turned it off, all of the buttons at the bottom of the Music app's screen disappeared - note:  she has no music stored on the iPad.)
    So, how can an iPad access a shared iTunes music library without using Home Sharing?
    (iPad 2, iOS 6; Mac 10.8, iTunes 10 because 11 totally inhibits my ability to use my iPod the way I want.)

    -> Home Sharing is different than logging into the iTunes store.
    You enable Home Sharing using one AppleID. Doesn't matter which you use but all devices must use the same AppleID for Home Sharing.

  • Can i use home sharing then connect to bluetooth speakers to play my music

    I use home sharing to play my music on my ipad and iphone on my wi-fi using the integral speakers. Is it possible while doing this to connect to a bluetooth speaker  so the audio would come out of the bluetooth speaker
    Many thanks

    Ok, so what I did was create an iTunes media (not library folder) folder in my TC's Data file by finding the folder on my Mac and dragging it to the TC. I then went into iTunes and consolidated the library. I went back to the original iTunes media file in my Mac and put it in the trash (DO NOT DUMP FROM TRASH YET!!!). Before I deleted it I went back into iTunes>preferences>advanced and then told it where to find my media in the iTunes media location box. You will then click ok, exit out of iTunes and go to iTunes in the dock and tell iTunes to quit. You will then reopen itunes while holding the option key on your keyboard.
    Now check your shared media on your iPad or ATV or whatever to make sure it sees everything and if it does you were successful and may now dump the iTunes media that you put into the trash previously.

  • Can I use home sharing between my iPhone and iPad? Or do I need to use a computer?

    I want to use home sharing between my iPhone and Ipad. So I can use the remote app. But I can't get it to work

    You can use it to share the library on your computer to the iPad, not the other way around.
    On the computer, set up homesharing in the advanced menu. On the iPad go to settings > music.

  • HT3819 Must the iTunes App on my PC always be open to hear music through Home Sharing via WiFi on an iPad?

    OK, we have successfully set up Home Sharing using a common Apple ID.  However, when I close ITunes on my PC my wife can finish listening to the song that has been playing but can't access any more even though they are listed on her iPad. This is not an issue with my iPhone since music is transferred to the device when I sync my Outlook contacts and calendar. 

    Supplemental questions that I can't find addressed in Apple support documents:
    Can my wife SAVE a copy of music from using Home Sharing onto her iPad so that she carry the songs with her? (rather than accessing them live via WiFi with iTunes active on my PC)
    Does Home Sharing work in both directions?   (i.e. can my wife also share music she may download onto her device with my PC and/or iPhone? (both of which are set up on Home Sharing)

  • Right management: How many devices can share a certain piece of music when using Home Sharing?

    Considering a family of 4, each of us having between 2 and 3 devices. Can all of them use music through Home Sharing or is the limit of 5 applying?
    Thanks

    A maximum of five computers can use Home Sharing at one time. If this limit has been reached and you want to add a new Home Share, deauthorize one or more computers by choosing Deauthorize Computer from the Store menu in iTunes. For more information about authorization and deauthorization, see About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization.
    Supposedly, you can use Home Sharing with as many iOS devices as you want on your network.

  • HT4557 We have a wired in network in our house, we also have an apple airport for use with my ipad/our ipods/iphones, etc.  Can we use home sharing if our desktops do not have wifi?

    Hi,
    this is my first time on the support board, so hopefully I'm doing this correctly.  We have 3 desktop computers in our family, which are wired in with ethernet cables.  We also use the cables with our laptops (we have various connections throughout the house)  I have an iphone, and an ipad, my boys have ipod touches.  I purchased an airport router to use when I'm using my ipad, etc.  The boys and I would like to be able to share apps that we have purchased.  I'm wondering if there is a way to use home sharing in our situation.
    thanks!

  • How do I use home sharing between my home computer and my work computer so I can listen to the same music both places?

    Hello. I am trying to use my work computer with itunes to listen my my music on my itunes on my computer at home. I have signed into both. My computer at home is off, is there a way to listen to all my music on both computers by using Home Sharing or another means?

    The best way I know is to sign up for iTunes Match.  All your music is stored in the cloud and can be accessed by up to 10 devices.

  • HT202213 I have 3 users on one computer with 3 unique user accounts.  Each have unique ITunes accounts.  How do we share our music libraries using home sharing?

    I have 3 users on one computer with 3 unique user accounts.  Each of us have separate and unique ITunes accounts.  How do we share our music libraries using Home Sharing?  Everything that I can find talks about sharing between networked computers, but this is all on the same computer.  I just want to share between ITunes accounts.  Thanks!

    Hi b noir, I also have two users on one pc with two different iTunes libraries.  But I also want to put them onto an external hard drive so that I can free up some memory on the pc.  So I figure I need to consolidate the two users iTunes libraries first before moving to hard drive?  But not quite sure how to do that on the iTunes 11?  Thanking you in advance!!
