Is there a way to use home sharing without leaving your computer on?

I'm getting annoyed when I have to leave my laptop on and waste batteries, so I can play music on my iPad around the house. Can someone tell me a way to play music with your computer off?

i plug my USB wire and on iTunes clicked on my iPad and go to Music. sync music click "seleted playlist,
artist, albums, and genres", i choose the playlist what i want my ipad to have <---(thought it moves the playlist
to my ipad) and it said
"Do you want to erase this ipad and sync with this iTunes library? An ipad can be synced with one iTunes
at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this ipad with the contents of this iTunes library."

  • Can I use home sharing if the other computer is off?

    I have a Mac Book Pro and my husband has Dell Desk Top PC...can he use home sharing to hear my music if my Mac is not on?
    Also can he permanently put my library on his computer using home sharing?

    No your computer has to be on to  listen to the music.
    If your husband wants to listen to the music on your machine without it being on he would have to use the HomeSharing to import them to his machine

  • HT201060 Is there no way to do Family Sharing without unified billing?

    It looks like Family Sharing has some other nice features beyond shared purchases. Is there no way to enable Family Sharing without having a unified billing? I'd love to enable it for my extended family but I don't want to pay for everyone's apps and things.

    Making purchases
    After you set up your family, any time a family member initiates a new purchase it will be billed directly to your account unless that family member has gift or store credit. First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer. As the family organizer, any receipts generated by the transaction will be sent to you. Learn more about how iTunes Store purchases are billed.

  • HT3819 Hi there. If I use "home sharing" on the same wifi network, does it use internet data, or only sharing over a home network?

    Hi there. If I use itunes over home sharing in my house on 2 pc's, does it use data from my internet, or does it work over local home network?

    You'd need both computers to be connecting to the same wifi network in order to Home Share.

  • HT3819 If I use home sharing, will the other computer lose their music?

    My girlfriend wants music from my iTunes account.  I was wondering if we used homesharing her music would no longer be available.  Any help would be appreciated!  Thanks.

    No home sharing does not delete anything.  It does exactly what it says it does, it shares your music library with others and vise versa.  I use it all the time in my home, and works perfectly.  All it does is wirelessly adds music to your music library that you are able to play.  Do you need help setting up iTunes Home Sharing?
    Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with, 
    Cheers,

  • Hey guys I got a used iBook from a family friend who had it password protected and he doesn't remember the password.Is there a way to get around this without wiping the computer?I don't have any of software discs and can't update or delete anything.Thanx

    Hey guys I got a used iBook from a family friend that has it password protected.I can't update or delete programs or download anything without the passwords and he doesn't remember them.Is there any way for me to get around these without wiping the computer and starting from scratch?

    Hello,
    Sadly without the system disk you can't do a lot. I would suggest you enable root user, log in as root and reset your administrators password, however you can't without knowing the administrator password first.
    The only solution would be is to obtain the correct system disk or buy a retail copy of Mac OS X. But note, it depends on what version of the iBook you own depends, on what version of Mac OS X you will require.
    You can still obtain the system disk or retail disks from online vendors, but they come at a cost.
    System disk are grey in color, while retail disk have a big 'X' on it.
    Best of luck

    You would have to set up App Catalog with a credit or debit card first.

  • Is there a way to use voiceover commands without voiceover?

    I was messing around on my computer to see what I could find, and I found voiceover utility. I can hear, see, feel, and sense perfectly well, so I didn't think it would be of interest to me. But, I found the commands section of it, and wanted to try it out. In this section you are supposed to be able to hold down (for example) option and do a gesture on your trackpad to do some sort of command. This seems to only work with voiceover enabled, but I think that it would be really cool if I could use these sort of controls day to day (without the annoying speaking). Is there a way to do that? Maybe a third party application? Thanks to anyone who knows (and understands my question)

    Static make the variable (or the method) available
    directly from the class. You don't have to
    instantiate it to use its static methods and
    variables. For example, the class java.lang.Math
    contains a lot of static methods. That's why you can
    use Math.sqrt(foo) without doing a Math m = new
    Math();
    In fact, you can't even instantiate a Math object...If you set a variable to static and you DO have instances of that object, then the changes made to that variable in one instance (or directly through the class) effect ALL instances of that object, right?
    So if I had a static textfield in two instances of an edit class I had running, and I changed the value in one of the edit class, then the same change would take effect in the other edit class as well, correct?

  • Is there any way to use zen touch without being an admin on the comput

    I looked for weeks and weeks with no solution. All I want is the simple
    interaction between my 20GB zen touch and a pc with which I have
    no admin priviliges. If I managed to get the files (nomad explorer/driver)
    somewhere else would simply copying them over be enough to get it to work.
    Or is it hopeless and you HAVE to be an admin? :smileysurprised:
    Please helpMessage Edited by myname on 05-24-2005 03:8 PM

    It works fine on my laptop but you know the way it is at work.
    I thought I'd be able to download files and bring them home
    to my laptop on the zen touch. ?260, 20GB and I can't even use
    it to transfer files. Feck that :smileyvery-happy:

  • How do I actually use home sharing between my apple computer and apple tv?

    I have current updates, have set up the computer and Itunes to share the music.  I have the library and get to the point where I can select a song and it shows me how long it will play with a cursor.  I cannot get the cursor to start the playing.  Should the computer be on or off and should I try to play the song I want by using the computer some how.
    Hope I have confused u enough.

    You can set up "iCloud" on all of them and select there to sync your Documents.  You must be running Mountain Lion on the MBA and iOS 6 on the iPhone and iPad in order to use iCloud:

  • Is there a way to use 'GET PERNR' without the selection screens?

    I would like to use the GET PERNR event in a batch program without using the default selection screens.  I would like to be able to use my own selection screen and parameters, but only get them along with the default selection options for payroll period.  I've tried removing the screen number from the attributes screen, but still get these options.  Is this possible?

    hi Kiran,
    report Category is a Pushbutton on the Attributes popup, it only appears if you use PNP logical DB.
    this is from SAPHelp: "Report Category
    Category used for HR reports that use the PNP logical database. It controls the type and number of fields that appear on the selection screen of an evaluation report."
    hope this helps

  • How can a family with multiple existing accounts use Home Sharing?

    I'd like to use the new Home Sharing feature, but it appears to be restricted to families in which all of the family members share a single user account.
    We already have separate accounts for each family member. Is there some way for us to use Home Sharing without abandoning most of our existing accounts, along with all of the purchases made by those accounts? I don't think anyone in this situation would be willing to do that.

    Eh. I am not too sure since I have not messed with it much but I do have a great deal of experience with multiple accounts. Each computer can be authorized for multiple accounts. As can iPods. iPods can sync songs/videos/apps from multiple accounts as long as the computer is authorized with them. What I have set up here, is I buy my stuff I want, my parents buy what they want and so do my brothers. When my bro gets something I want I just move it to my computer. That way all our accounts are separate, but if there is something I want I can get it. Also, since the music no longer has DRM, it won't matter. It will play on any computer. What you should see is if you can just do the shared library with multiple accounts. Then if you don't have videos or such, you can get apps or music. Hope this helps!
