TS2972 How do I stream music from shared library to my iPad/iPhone?

I have home sharing activated on PC and iPhone and iPad. Music stored on PC shows up on iPad/iPhone when I select my shared library. When I select a song on my iPad/iPhone to play it is played on the PC (i.e., through the PC speakers) and not through the iPad/iPhone speakers - like the iPad/iPhone only acts like a remote control device for the PC iTunes Player instead of streaming the song to my iPad/iPhone. Any suggestions?

What are you using to play them? If you are using the Remote App, then yes that is the expected behavior.
You must go into the Music or videos App, and find the Shared Library. It will then play in the iPad or iPhone.

    Hello Achates:
    I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
    Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

  • Music from shared library will not display by artist or album.

    How do I set up home sharing to display music from shared library by artist and album?

    I am not sure if the fix that cuatro476804 suggested is the issue here.  I have also been experiencing freezing issues with my Apple TV since the latest Apple TV/iTunes updates.  Here is the bug report I just submitted to Apple:
    Since the last update to Apple TV or the last updates to iTunes (not sure which is the culprit) Apple TV freezes when trying to play music streamed from iTunes on a Mac.
    I have an iMac running iTunes [11.01 (12)] and a 3rd gen Apple TV running the latest OS release as of 12-20-2012.  Since the last software update for iTunes and Apple TV, the Apple TV will freeze when playing a song after about 10 - 20 seconds.  This happens whether I am using my computer directly or when using the "remote" app on my iPhone 5.  I can restart my song again by pressing play, but the song will freeze again after another 10 - 20 seconds.
    I can temporarily cure the bug by unplugging my Apple TV for 5 seconds to cold start the gizmo, and then both iTunes and Remote seem to be able to stream without any issues.
    but when I try to play music the next day, the same freezing issue occurs again like clockwork.
    I thought this was just a rare buggy issue, maybe even a WiFi or other communication problem, but I have been playing tunes on my Apple TV for a couple years streamed from my iMac with not problems.  This only started happening after the last software update.  Again, not sure if this is the Apple TV update, or the iTunes 10.01 (12) update causing this.
    Daily rebooting of the Apple TV is not an acceptable solution.  Were this a Microsoft product, sure, but Apple product... its just supposed to work :-)
    I hope others will report the same issue so this gets repaired soon.

  • How do I transfer music from my itunes playlist to my iphone?

    How do I transfer music from my itunes playlist to my iphone?

    Maddening!!!!! What used to work now doesn't!
    Where did simple drag and drop go? Apple invented it!
    I have an iPhone 5s and want to transfer Playlists from my desktop iMac to the iPhone. I have had these products since their first releases years ago. I am a computer power user. What used to be a simpe "drag and drop" of your Playlist (yes, in Column View which I have turned on now) to your iPhone was easy and you were set. It is now impossible to do. Or easily!
    There are been other posts on this. I have tried them all. None work or the explanations are not adequate.
    WHY IS THIS SAME **** HARD WHEN IT USED TO BE DRAG AND DROP?
    PS: Fire the iTune Product Manager who did this version..get Jony Ive on the case to fix the User Interface Design ASAP!

  • How do i upload music from my itunes account to my iphone ?

    how do i upload music from my itunes account to my iphone ?

    Hi viper1997,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    There are two ways to get music onto your iPhone.  If you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer, you can setup manual syncing so that you transfer the playlists, artists or albums that you want on your iPhone.
    You can also download music you've already purchased from the iTunes store to your iPhone at any time.
    The following links will provide additional information to get you started.   You don't mention what computer you are using, so I'll assume a Mac for now, as the basics are the same.
    The iPhone User Guide is a good place to start:

    itunes sync takes all music off iphone 4s onto pc. how do i get music from itunes on pc to the iphone 4s?

    Under your device in iTunes, you need to make sure you have "Sync Music" enabled on iTunes under the music tab to tell iTunes to move the music it has over to your iPhone.
    Take a look at this article for information on how to sync your iPhone using iTunes.

  • Can I stream music from my iTunes to my iPad?

    Hey All..
    As the subject title says..I wondered if there was anyway to stream music from my iMac to my iPad.
    Any help appreciated.

    Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil for your Mac paired with Airfoil Speakers for your iPad should allow you to do this. Airfoil costs about $30 and is a great program that allows you to do all sorts of neat things like stream music from other apps than just iTunes to remote speakers using an Airport Express. Airfoil Speakers is free from the App Store.
    Best of luck.
