IPad Music and Videos apps - Home Sharing is empty

Anyone else seeing this?
Cannot see anything in Videos app - Shared (No Videos You can download videos from iTunes).
Music app - More Shared - My iTunes library, Music app is blank (no music) except for top and bottom
Yes, Home Sharing is enabled on the iPad and the Mac mini.
Restarted everything, turned off/on everything.
Worked fine previously under iOS 4.3.5. Maybe with 5.0 (don't recall specifically) and now not with 5.0.1.
It is showing the option to slect teh Shared library but no content is being passed to the iPad.

This is only viewing shared music/videos from iTunes through the Music/Video apps, not copying items to the iPad.

I am getting this too - minus I have my music and it is just Videos which are not showing up. They show-up in iTunes on the iPad but not when I actually open the Videos.app. The space available also indicates that the videos are on the iPad but just are not showing up.
With Home Sharing, they should not take up any space on the iPad since they are streamed from iTunes on the computer. They are not on the iPad.
I also tried searching for the videos in spotlight and they don't show up there either.
Since they are not on the iPad, they won't (and should not) show up on the iPad.
I have a hunch that it is something to do with the 'matching' process and since it does not process the videos (as it shouldn't) it assumes there aren't any videos and stops showing them.
I don't have iTunes Match so it has nothing to do with this.

IPad 16GB iOS 8.1.1 upgrade and now cannot open Music and Videos apps

My iPad 16GB installediOS 8.1.1 upgrade and now cannot open Music and Videos apps...HELP?

Since yesterday morning about 11:00 I have been having TERRIBLE email problems on this iPad 3G. Email comes in (I hear the sound) but nothing displays -- no folders, no content, no nothing in e-mail. The blank email screen shows up and then disappears after about 10 seconds, taking me back to the Home Screen.
Right now, the only way I can see email on this device is to log onto AOL via the AOL app.
I have been doing a lot of online reading about the problem. It has to do with iOS 8.1.3 and it affects older iPads and iPhones. I'm having no problems on my iPod touch, which -- fortunately -- is so old it cannot update its iOS 6.
I waited to update the iOS on this iPad until iOS 8 was "mature." That was about 2 weeks ago.
Anybody know know if Apple is aware? working on a solution?

Basics from the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW. Unless you've tried ALL of these, you're not done troubleshooting.

Music and video apps crashing

ok so i updated my ipod almost a week ago, then i bought some music about 3 days ago throught the itunes app, after it was done downloading, my music app would crash everytime i open it including my video apP. PLEASE HELP!!!!! No music + misery

well i tried to turn off my ipod and turn it back on that didn't work, and i let it die too but it didn't help, im afraid to reset my ipod(erase all data) because i have newly bought music thats i don't think will sync to itunes when i plug it in and wont be downloaded back on to my ipod after.

My iPad stopped streaming live music and video.

How do I fix this problem

What happens when you try to play them ? Does your music and videos show but don't play, or doesn't your content show in the Music and Videos apps ?
Have you tried closing the Music and Videos apps completelyand seeing if they work when you re-open them ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Music or Videos 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Music and Videos apps to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I do not see my music and videos icon....how do I make them appear?

If you can't find the Music and Videos apps on any of your homescreens or app folders, then can you can't find them via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right) ?
If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Home sharing is working fine for musics and videos but not for apps. What is wrong?

i had the same issue as everyone here after upgrading to itunes 10.x. vista could see xp home share. ipod touch could see xp home share.
neither could see vista home share.
after several hours of authorizing de-authorizing, rebooting router etc, i knew it had to be a firewall thingy with vista as xp was working fine
i went to this article http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2553 and followed the instructions. itunes was already in my vista exception list. on a hunch i deleted the itunes exception and followed the steps to add it again and boom it worked!! i could now see my vista machine from my ipod touch immediately.
something must have screwed up the firewall exception on the upgrade to itunes 10.x
it worked for me, i hope this helps others

How can I get an app from my Itunes library onto my Ipad? I have it synced and turned on home sharing

Sharing music and videos but not mobile apps btw 2 accts on same Mac

My wife and I each have accounts on our Mac. When we sync our iPhones, I want each of us to be able to sync our own music and video playlists (from a common repository) but *keep our iPhone apps separate*. We are kind of doing it now, but I'm not quite sure how (or why) it's working. I made a network share on a NAS box for our iTunes libraries and also a Shared library supposedly for Music.
Can anyone outline a definitive way of organizing the folders in the finder and through iTunes? No speculation please: it's too hard to go back.
Thanks in advance

Hmm... this is a bit technical,
Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.

Updated my ipad to the iOS 6.1.3, only apps, music and videos were restored?! HELP!!

I don't know if this is a stupid or noob problem, but I did the update and everything, then after it restored from my back up, i opened to see my ipad in factory settings?! I finished the setup and all, and then i saw all my apps not in the folders that they were meant to be in, no app data, no camera roll photoes, no background images and passcodes. So my ipad was pretty much restored and backed up onky with apps, music and videos. Nothing else!! In previous update+backup restores, the ipad just goes back to how it was before being updated, with everything in place like how it was originally. Later I also tried restoring again, form an earlier backup, but that did not work either. Someone please tell me what happened!!

Is this how the restore goes?

I have no sound for games in my iPad. I have tried the reset but it does not work. The speakers work as I have sound for music and videos.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430 It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker

http://www.atreks.com/app-no-sound-on-ipad-4-%E2%80%93-what-to-do/
To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap on General
3. Tap on Reset
4. Tap on Reset All Settings
What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

Trouble with loading videos - Manually manage music and videos not supported now with iOS5 and a 1st gen iPad?

Since updating my iPad 1st gen to iOS5.0.1 videos don't get loaded properly into the Videos app.
On the Summary page in iTunes of my docked iPad, I have always checked the box for "Manually manage music and videos".
I have my reasons for doing it this way, but that's for another thread perhaps.
The problem is that when I load a video to my iPad this way - by simply just dragging it from the desktop and onto the iPad, under Devices in iTunes - it copies/updates, and shows up on the iPad like it always has before iOS5. But now, with iOS5, when I undock, it can't be found anywhere within the Videos app on the iPad. The only way I can find it is to do a Search, which seems to find it, but when I click it, a different video plays - the first video in the Movies list in the Video app. Dock the iPad again, yes the video is there, according to iTunes, but no way to play it once iPad is undocked.
My suspicion is that with iOS5 you are no longer able to use the "Manually manage music and videos (Mmm&v)" that you will be forced to run everything through iTunes - and probably iCloud. I've unchecked the Mmm&v box, and get prompted with "Are you sure? - All existing content on the iPad will be replaced with content from your iTunes library". READ - "Rebuild your entire video and music collection, and this time run it all through iTunes. Welcome to iOS5. Have a nice day or two wasting your time rebuilding your entire video and music collection. Don't fight it. Use iTunes for everything! Until we finally make iTunes a decent piece of digital media management software, then you'll have to do it all again."
Okay, rant over - Anyone out there with running iOS5 on a 1st gen iPad with the Mmm&v option checked and able to load a video manually (not through iTunes)? Any other thoughts?
Thanks

Yea, i managed to fix my issue in a wild fashion way But I DONT suggest it to anyone.
I like to hear why it happened after upgrading iTunes and if there is any peaceful solution.
Bythe way, here is how i fixed it :
1-i checked "manually manage music and videos" checkbox and clicked on "Sync" button
2-It showed a threating message that it will erase my music and videos ,......
3-I clicked on OK button and let iTunes do any thing she said , but the second it started to delete my treasures from my iphone, i disconnected my phone by pulling USB cable.
Now i have my musics and videos untouched and got that Option enabled again and i can manage my Music/Videos and Books manually.

I have a First Gen IPad with IOS 4.3.2. It let's me manage my music and videos together in playlists. Need a larger capacity IPAD, that allows me to manage playlists the same way. need direction or help!

Can't seem to find an IPAD that let's me control my playlists together...or let's me organize my videos (Karaoke) the way I want to. Can someone help or direct me?
Can't even find the old IPad for sale...I have a MB292LL with 4.3.2 (8H7)

Here is a hint, google:
ipad video playlists
Found:
This discusses some options.
iOS 7 took away the ability to play videos continuously.
Two stand-alone apps.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/video-playlist-manager-lite/id399302583?mt=8
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/joobik-video-playlist-player/id502325425?mt=8
There was a hint of relabeling your videos to music video so you can use the itunes video playlists.
I have not tried this.

After downloading iOS5 my music and videos are showing as synced on my computer but aren't showing on my iPad?

I downloaded iOS5 and went through the syncing process. Within iTunes on my computer my iPad is showing as having the music and videos 'on board' (the colour bar is even showing the content is on my iPad.
But when I look in Music, it shows as 'No Music'.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers, S

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..
