Streaming Music from iTunes to my iPad

I have approximately 40,000 songs on my Windows machine in iTunes.  I can control those songs via my iPad by using the Remote app.  However, I would like to be able to stream the songs to my iPad for sound output (both locally and remotely, if possible).  iTunes Match is not an option for me because of the size of my library.  Is there some way I can have the functionality the Remote App offers with the ability to put the sound through the iPad instead of my desktop computer?  That would allow me to take it to other parts of my home and, ideally, away from my home via an internet connections.
If this cannot be achieved, will any other apps help me?  Essentially, I have iTunes with 40,000 songs sitting on a desktop computer in my office.  I'm hoping to free this music so I can access my library in other places.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Chris

HomeSharing will allow for streaming of media from the iTunes library to an iOS device or other computer running iTunes on the same network.
There is no Apple solution to streaming when not on the same Wi-Fi network.

    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...

    Okay, you are using Windows 7. What version of iTunes do you have. Please don't tell me the most current one, go into Help then About iTunes and read what it says.

    You need a third party app in order to do that. Here is one app that will do it.

  • I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay.  Works perfectly with my iPod Touch.  The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect.  Running latest IOS software.

    I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay.  Works perfectly with my iPod Touch.  The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect.  Running latest IOS software.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    You said:
    No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this. 
    That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

  • HT1689 how do i sync downloaded music from itunes to my ipad?  It will only sync purchased music.

    How do I sync downloaded music from itunes to my ipad?  It will only sync purchased music.

    You must "Add" the tracks to your library. Select Add to Library from iTunes' File menu. Select your downloaded track(s) then click on the Open button in the file dialog. Once added to the library you can select and sync them in the Music configuration tab in the iTunes main window for your device.

  • HT4437 Streaming music from iTune to Airport Express

    In order to stream music from iTunes (Windows Desktop) to AirPort Express, do both have to be connected via WiFi network? What if both are connected via same wired network.
    My iTunes cannot see AirPort Express connected to the same network.
    thanks,

    Airport utility installed on my PC (Win Vista) cannot detect AA. It communicates only when I enter the IP address of AA. After that I have configured the AA in Bridge mode. AA has wired connection with Linksys Router.PC is connected with the same router.
    iPod Touch can easily detect AA and can stream music to it too.

  • How can i stream music from itunes (ipad or MacBookPro) to Apple TV 2nd Gen?

    How can i stream (not sync) music from itunes (ipad or mac) to an AppleTV 2nd gen?? thanks..

    No, not directly.. but to get the movies onto your iPad you need to sync them on there from your computer running iTunes.. you can likewise sync those same movies from your computer running iTunes to the appleTV..
    i create a playlist of all the videos on my iPad (mostly for kids movies they are interested in right now).. so to put those same movies on my appleTV i would just define the sync to appleTV to include that playlist..

    Okay, that's your choice.

    Is the media already on the iPad?  If not, iTunes purchases can be redownloaded if they are still available in iTunes.  Non-iTunes purchases would need to be synced from iTunes on a computer.

  • Can't stream Music from iTunes to my Apple TV

    I bought an ATV for the sole purpose of being able to stream music from my PC iTunes account to my Samsung smart TV.  As it turns out, that is the one thing my ATV will not do.  I have had my ATV for about three months and have never been able to stream music to it from my PC.  I do not see my ATV as a device in iTunes and I do not have the airplay icon visible in iTunes
    Gear
    3rd generation ATV
    PC running Windows 7
    Here are some things which work fine on the ATV:
    Netflix works perfectly e.g., it sees my wifi network
    Youtube works perfectly
    Under Music I can see the 2 songs my wife purchased from the iTunes store – I purchase all my music from Amazon.
    Things I have done
    Turned Home Sharing on and am using the same account in iTunes and on my ATV
    Reinstalled iTunes – 11.0.2.26
    Updated ATV to latest software
    Rebooted my computer – several times
    Rebooted my router – several times
    How do I resolve this issue?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I tried a new approach and unplugged my ATV brought it over to my computer and connected it to my router via ethernet.  This caused the airplay icon to show up on the transport bar in iTunes.  I could select the ATV as an output.  I disconnected the ethernet cable and reconnected the ATV to my TV.  The airplay icon remains in iTunes but the ATV is no longer there as an option - only my computer speakers.  Any ideas?

  • I downloaded music from iTunes onto my iPad. I enabled iTunes Match on my PC (where most of my music is stored). When I turned on iTunes Match on iPad it said the iPad music library would be replaced.How do I use iTunes Match without losing  iPad music.

    I bought music from iTunes and downloaded it to my iPad. I have enabled iTunes Match on my PC (where most of my music is stored). When I turned on iTunes Match on iPad it said "iTunes Match will replace the music library" on my iPad. All of my iPad music is saved on iCloud, and some of my PC music is on iCloud. If I use iTunes Match will the music previously downloaded on my iPad be lost?
    Thanks!!

    You need to either sync the iPad with iTunes so it will transfer the purchases to the iTunes library or download them from the purchase history. Then let iTM work on the "new" tracks in the library then all the music will be available on the iPad.

  • Streaming Music from my PC to IPad: After activating Home Share on both systems, where do I view the music that is on my PC, from my iPad that I want to stream?

    I thought Steve kept thins simple, however I am trying to stream music from my PC to my IPad.
    As simple as I thought intellectual programmers would have made things for users, it seems I should have studied rocket science.
    Please Help: Home Sharing has been activated on PC and IPad. I now want to view my music on my PC from my iPad and choose what I want to listen.
    Please guide me through the process.

    Tap the 'More' Tab at the bottom of the screen and choose the 'Shared' option from the menu that appears.

  • How to download music from iTunes match to iPad 2

    I'm going off the grid (temporarily) and traveling to an area without cell phone or wifi.  I would love to listen to music on my 32 gb iPad 2 (IOS 8) on those long nights.  My music is loaded on iTunes Match.  Can it be downloaded to the iPad so I can listen directly from the device?  Even better, can I select the albums I'd like to download without downloading everything?  Any tips would be appreciated!

    Yes, but you must turn off iTunes Match on your device and sync the music from iTunes on your computer.

  • How to sync music from iTunes-PC to iPad

    A real 101 question. I have connected the iPad to my laptop. iTunes on my laptop sees the iPad
    I dragged the Music folder of my PC on iPad icon and I saw the syncing happening
    How does one find the music that copied from my PC to iPad? In my iPad's itunes I see only the paid music from itunes store.

    I open up iTunes on my PC and then plug in my iPad. It then displays under devices on the left-hand side in iTunes. I then click on my iPad listed under devices. I have the option of clicking the sync button in the lower right hand side of the screen. Once I click sync, then the iPad will visually indicate that it is syncing. When it is finished syncing, the text message will be gone on your iPad and you can then use it. The items should be stored in iPod app on the iPad.
