ITunes sharing with my iPad

I used to be able to use my substantial iTunes library from my iPad. I tried doing that today - first time since the iOS7 update - and it was impossible for my computer and my iPad to establish any connection whatsoever over my local network. All settings relating to sharing are on and activated, and yet my iPad can get nowhere near my iTunes library. Very annoying. Is this an Apple problem, or something I can fix?

You cannot. You need iTunes version 11 for iOS 7.

Usually it's because you are not making internet connection via wifi.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

Itunes Home Sharing with Ios7 Ipad

Upgraded Ipad to Ios7 (what was I thinking) and now have upgraded Itunes on my laptop to 11.1
Music and Video apps on my Ipad show my Itunes Library Name correctly, but wont load them, after 30secs or so,comes up with "Unable to turn on home sharing".
Remote App does the same.
Home sharing is turned on in Itunes and on the Ipad (it found the library name after all).
Anyone else encountered this or know of a solutuion/work around?
Cheers

I have a similar issue.... But on my iPhone, I have yet to try my iPads etc. HS worked fine last night, but I had to clean install iOS7 due to some anomalies. Since doing so, HS will not verify.
And yet it shows my library in Videos and Music and even connects in Music... But it does not connect in Videos...? And when adding it to Remote, it states that it is unavailable at present and to try in a few minutes.
Odd behaviour...?
Does anyone have any ideas or solutions to hand.
Thanks.

Itunes sharing with Photoshop Elements?

I have Photoshop Elements 9 on Windows 7.
My wife has an iPad 2. I'm getting an iPad 3.
When I set up iTunes syncing for my wife's iPad I created a folder of some special
family pictures and I just sync that one folder to her iPad.
I'm the photographer and PSE user in the house.
For my iPad I'd like to be able to share more of my PSE images.
I have about 8,000 and 32GB of images in PSE.
I have made extensive use of tag keywords to identify all the people, pets, places, events,etc. in the picture.
So I don't have a lot of albums. But I can find any picture by selecting the right keyword tags.
My understanding is that PSE stores the tag information back into the actual image.
I saw in iTunes on my Windows PC that there is a selection under Photos for Sharing with Photoshop.
What are my options there? For my new iPad. I think my wife's is ok as it is.
What I'd really like is to get a lot of the images from PSE onto my iPad.
And have that same keyword selection ability on the iPad so that I can find pictures easily.
If there is a better way to do that than through iTunes syncing then I'm open to that as well.
Thanks for any thoughts or advice. We love these iPads!

While I haven't heard a solution to posts I've made to both Adobe and iTunes sites, I have found a manual workaround.
The catalog files that iTunes uses are of the format "catalog.pseXdb".
In my case, the new catalog is "catalog.pse13db" and the old is "catalog.pse9db". These files are found in catalog folders like: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\Elements 9 Catalog
With iTunes and PSE closed,
1) copy the catalog.pse13db file to the "Elements 9 Catalog folder.
2) rename the old catalog.pse9db file to keep it and deactivate it
3) rename catalog.pse13db to catalog.pse9db
iTunes will continue to use the older catalog file, but it now has new catalog contents. The manual part is that this will need to be done prior to each time you want to sync new catalog content to your devices.
Somewhere around PSE version 7, the catalog file format changed, so this technique may not work for upgrades from about v7 upward.

Can I manage an externally stored iTunes library with an iPad?

Hi all,
To give a better idea of my situation, here's a bit of information about the problem I have.
I currently have two Windows 7 machines, a laptop that's seen better days and a desktop which I am looking to get rid of because of space. I have an iPod Touch 32GB and will soon be getting an iPhone 4/5 (depending on release date) also.
My iTunes is currently stored and managed on my desktop PC. I have a fairly large music library, consisting of about 20-25gb of music. I only have one or two songs that were purchased through iTunes, all of the others have been imported from CD's.
As mentioned above, I am looking to get rid of my PC and my laptop doesn't have a large enough hard drive to manage my music as well as an OS and programs. I am very interested in buying a 16GB WiFi only iPad 2, as almost all of what I require a computer for is browsing the web, banking and the odd spreadsheet/document. The iPad would be a golden solution for me if I was able to manage my music with it.
Does anybody know if there is a way for me to store my music library on an external hard drive (or last resort, a file server) and run iTunes directly off the iPad, so I would connect my iPod/iPhone to the iPad with the external hard drive attached and syncing would be possible?
I hope I have explained my situation well enough, and thank you in advance for any assistance I receive. You help is greatly appreciated!
Regards

lkrupp,
thank s for filling in the details on iCloud, missed the fact the song needs to already be in the iTunes library first.
As for itunes on the home network, I was reffering to his desktop/Laptop PCs not the iPad but I neglected to state it. with Current iOS he will need a tethered computer to sync his I tunes. are you aware if iOS5 will allow external connections to data storage (I think I remember someting about that in one of the previews I read) since the new iOS wants to be teather free and "lose the wire" similar to dropbox type technology.
its all still so new.

Cannot synch my purchased itunes video with my ipad?

I have purchased a tv series in SD format from iTunes and although it is in my iTunes library I cannot synch it with my iPad?What do I need to do?

Welcome to the Apple community Lynne.
You can't merge Apple ID's or transfer content from one account to another.
iTunes and iCloud are separate services and have different logins. You can continue to use your new ID for iCloud (mail, contacts etc) but use your old ID to log into iTunes and therefore still continue to use all the music et al you have purchased.

ITunes Sharing with Vista, Handbrake movies

I have two machines, a 10.5.7 Leopard, a fully updated Vista, and fully updated iTunes on each.
I am sharing music and videos via iTunes sharing from the Mac to the PC. The music works, the video does not, except for one. That single video was exported from Final Cut Pro as I recall, the rest were ripped with Handbrake. I suspect an issue with atoms. I don't want to copy any media to the Vista PC, I want sharing to work flawlessly.
Can anyone help?

Well, I think that's ridiculous, especially since I have a legitimate use for this app. I have unencrypted student films that I made with other film students and have every legal right to possess as per the agreement the University of North Texas has with its students. Each member of my class was given a DVD, I watch everything on my Apple TV and computers, so what did I do, I ripped each of these 10 minutes shorts with Handbrake, because I love the H.264 codec. We shot our five films on 16mm and it is glorious on my Apple TV.
Commercials I was paid to make and had the original files to in Final Cut Pro were exported with Compressor, Apple TV preset. These play in Vista just fine.
Apple clearly thinks we have the right to use OUR OWN FILMS with iTunes, iMovie and Final Cut Pro both have export options for iTunes/iPhone/ATV.
So again, I implore the help of the forum. Can anyone help me get this junky Vista machine to play my films?

Why won't the books from my itunes sync with my ipad?

I am wondering why the books in my itunes on my pc won't sync with my ipad?

Error messages:
1. Some of the videos in your itunes library, including the video "Derezzed by Daft Punk", were not copied to the iPod "Ba25's iPod" because they can not be played on this iPod.
2. Five different videos (podcasts - TV and Film) were not copied because the video format is not supported by the iPod "Ba25's iPod".
I've had other podcasts sync onto my iPod from a few years ago.

Itunes sharing with own icloud setup for family of 5

Hi, we currently have 4 iphones, 1 ipad, 3 ipods, and 1 pc all under one itunes account id. However, we are now running into storage problems and my daughter just go a macbook pro and leaving for college. So my question is how can we all still share purchased content but have our own storage? Is this possible and if so how do I go about setting this up? I don't want to set up a different itunes account for each person because my daughters often want the same songs and apps and I don't want to purchase them twice. Thanks in advance for any help!

To avoid sharing and merging your iCloud data, you will need to put each person's devices on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID. You can continue to all share the same ID for iTunes; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.
Creating separate accounts will keep everyone's iCloud data separated, and give each person's devices their own 5GB of free storage for their device backups, and a separate iCloud email account/address. However, Find My iPhone (iPad, iPod, Mac) is tied to the iCloud ID so they cannot be tracked together on the same map. You will have to sign into each iCloud account separately (on icloud.com or the Find My iPhone app) in order to locate devices using that iCloud ID.

How can I access my husbands iTunes acct with my ipad?

I want to download my music purchased in my husband's library, but cannot find my ipad to sync with it.

Thanks, sounds like I may be stuck - unless you know how to upload a film from iTunes on my laptop onto the Cloud? Every time I've tried in the past it seems I can only upload music photos and documents but not videos?
Or is there a way to set up a VPN so my iPad thinks it is connected to my home network and therefore enables me to use home sharing whilst abroad?

HT1689 same itunes account with an ipad and and ipod touch?

I am getting an iPad and have an iPod Touch (have had one forever but upgraded to the latest iPod Touch last Christmas). I can see using them both quite happily, but I would like to store everything in one iTunes account, so I can access books, magazines, podcasts, music, etc. in one area. However, there are duplicate apps (some run on both devices, some run on just one or the other) -- and some apps I only want to run on one of them.
Can I just have one account and two devices with the same email, information, etc? If so, how does that work? And will the Cloud work to "bring it all together" with my MacBook Pro and Mac Mini?
Sorry to be naive about this...any help is very appreciated. Thank you in advance.

It works quite well. I have a Touch and iPad and the same Apple ID. I don't use iCloud but backup to my computer and it's very easy to share apps and data. You just choose what's on what device.

ITunes Sharing With Windows 7 Starter

I have 3 computers in my home. 2 run XP, 1 runs Windows 7 starter. All 3 have iTunes on them. I have sharing turned on for all of them. The 2 XP computers have no problem sharing a library. The 7 Starter netbook shows the library, but when I click on it to show the contents, it flashes on for a split second, then the shared library disappears from the menu. Any help would be appreciated.

Doublechecking bill ... what's the display resolution on the netbook? (In particular, is it at least 768 vertical?)
Checking because although iTunes will run on Starter, you might have some trouble changing preferences on a netbook with, say, a 600 vertical display, as per the following document:
iTunes: May not display all options at low screen resolutions

ITunes sharing with home PC

I want to have some of the music from my iPod on my home PC. I heard I can share iTunes with my home PC by sending via AOL IM, is this true?

No, to the best of my knowledge, it's not true, at least not other than by using a file-transfer feature (if such exists in AOL IM) to copy the track. The only way to share tracks with iTunes is by using the built-in sharing feature (which only works when the systems are on the same network) or by copying the tracks to the other computer.
