TS2972 I can see my library on home sharing but  I can't see the music?,

Help, I have turned on my homes sharing and can see the library on my iPad but cannot access any songs......my computer is on and signed in.....if I re touch the screen I just get the msg home sharing cannot be turned on....but it is as its seeing my library!

You are saying that is is seeing your library but you can't play music. Do you see the songs, albums and so on in the library? Did you try closing the Music App completely and launch it again?
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice. Launch the Music app again.
Sometimes it helps if you reboot the iPad when mysterious problems arise.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Why can't I see others in my home sharing, but they can see me?

    I have set up my home sharing and my members can see my libraries, but I can not see their names, or libraries.  Why?

    Howdy slrsij,
    It sounds like for some reason you cannot see libraries on other devices but they can see your library just fine. I would recommend you perform troubleshooting steps 4-7 from the following article:
    Troubleshooting Home Sharing
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • I can listen to the Music Library in my Ipad through home sharing, but I can't do it in my Iphone. When Iphone managed to connect my Mac, I can see how a watch turns clockwise but it stops when it arrives at a half of the watch. What can I do?

  • HP Envy dv4t (Windows 8) can't pick up Dell's (Windows Vista) iTunes library through home sharing, but the Dell can pick up HP's

    I just got an HP Envy dv4t and it runs windows 8. My desktop, which is a Dell windows vista has all of my music on it. I'm trying to use home sharing between the two, but my HP won't pick up my dell's library, but my dell will pick up my HP's. I've tried everything imaginable and still no luck. At first, my HP would pick up my Dell library but it wouldn't load. Now it doesn't even have the library under Home Sharing. Please help!

    I have been having exactly the same problem with my Fujitsu vista running desktop and my new Toshiba running windows 8

  • Is it possible to see two libraries via home sharing on a single ipad at the same time?

    I have an iMac with an itunes library (and unique Apple ID) and a MacBook Pro with a different itunes library (and different Apple ID).  I would like to see both libraries at the same time on my iPad.  So far, I have only been able to figure out how to see a single library at a time.  I see the library associated with the Apple ID entered in the home sharing setting.  Again, I want my ipad to see both libraries at the same time.  I don;t want to have to keep changing the Apple ID setting in home sharing on my ipad to see a different library.

    Use the same ID for homesharing on all devices, the ID used for homesharing does not need to be the same as the one used for the iTunes Store on each device.
    You will see both libraries in the sharing option and be able to load either without changing any settings. It won't however combine both libraries into one list of content.

  • I can see music on home sharing, but I can not copy the music from the imac, to macbook?

  • HT202213 I'm trying to set up "Home sharing" but i can not get into my old computer because of a virus. The old has Vista and an older version of iTunes. The new has Windows 7. Also this is my sons computer however I have made a new user account for me. H

    I Have 2 issues;
    1.  I can't transfer my iTunes library from my old computer which I can't get into due to a virus. I'm trying to transfer my iTunes folder to my sons computer in which I now have a user account. Old is Vista and new is Windows 7. Therefore home sharing is impossible, right?  Wrong?
    2.  I found my purchases from iTunes on my iPhone 4S. I can't seem to download them. There is no button to tap "download".  Also, I'm unable to sync to iTunes because my phones default is to sync to my old computer which will not open!

  • I added music to my library through home sharing, but am not able to play them on my ipod

    I used home sharing to add music to my iTunes library (Windows 7) from another computer (Mac). I can play the music directly from my library, but it won't sync with my ipod touch. When the ipod is connected to my computer, the songs are greyed out in iTunes and they do not appear on the ipod at all.

    iDevices are not designed to sync to multiple computers/libraries.

  • I have a similar question to the one Brendan posted a day or two ago. My wife's MacBook Pro will find my library for home sharing, but my ACER will not even display the home sharing icon. Home sharing on, latest version on iTunes.

    I want to get some music from my wife's MacBook Pro via Home Sharing. We both have Home Sharing turned on. Her's displays the Home Sharing icon, and recognizes my library. My ACER will not display the Home Sharing icon, and I cannot access her library. I have verified I have the latest version of iTunes, I have turned Home Sharing off and on again, and still no icon.

  • How do you import songs from your phone into another computer im on home sharing but it wants to wipe my music clean off when i clink to sync?

    trying to sync my old phone into a home sharing laptop to update all my music but unfortunatley it just wants to wipe clean my iphone of all the music ive purchased over the last year - how can i update this new itunes with a few songs already on it - from my phone, without losing any songs?

    The iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time.  If you sync to another it will erase the current content from the iphone and repalce with content from the new computer.

  • HT3819 I have synced my ipad and iphone 5 to itunes and all my songs appear in the device library but i cannot ply all of the songs unless via home sharing. How can i ensure that my libraries appear on each device as the syncing process seems to be failin

    Syncing problems.
    How can I sync my iphone 5 and ipad to ensure that i dont need to use home sharing to access all of my music library?

    I don't think I have made myself clear... I have recently upgraded my iPhone 4 to a 5 so everything was set up to sync with no problems at all. I transferred everything across to my new device by iCloud and everything appears as it was on my old device including on the face of it my music library. However, I cannot play all of the songs in fact the majority! When at home I can access the entire library via home sharing but that is no use away from the house. I never had this problem with iPhone 4 and although I am automatically syncing the device to iTunes it is not working. If I try to play songs via the device it skips until it finds a song that cAn be played and if I try and play the device via the laptop/iTunes an ! Type signal appears and I cannot play the song!
    Any ideas re solutions would be appreciated???

  • How do you connect ipad 2 to itunes library using home sharing

    How do you connect the ipad 2 to the itunes library using home sharing so you can listen on your ipad 2? I've seen directions for the ipad which tell you how to setup home sharing then open ipod and touch library in the left column, but when I hit library, nothing happens. I'm assuming the ipad 2 has something different about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    PS, the OS is 4.3.3 (just got it but it's not on the os list)

    See iTunes 9- Understanding Home Sharing and iTunes- Troubleshooting Home Sharing.  Also, open iTunes, select iTunes Help from the Help menu and search for "home shar."

  • I would like to transfer a playlist and associated music from one computer on a home sharing network to another without transferring the entire library.  How?

    I would like to transfer a playlist and associated music from one computer to another in a home sharing network without transfering the entire itunes library.  How would I do that?

    you can transfer playlists using home sharing but it won't copy the actual music files within to the other machine.
    however, i believe TuneRanger can do that.
