Home Sharing

Home Sharing (iOS 4.3) lets you play music, movies, and TV shows on iPhone from the iTunes library on your Mac or PC.

Note: Home Sharing requires iTunes 10.2 or later, available at www.itunes.com/download. Bonus content, such as digital booklets and iTunes Extras, can’t be shared.

iPhone and your computer must be on the same Wi-Fi network. On your computer, iTunes must be open, with Home Sharing turned on and logged in to the same Apple account as Home Sharing on iPhone.

Play music or video on iPhone from your iTunes library:

1In iTunes on your Mac or PC, choose Advanced > Turn On Home Sharing. Enter your Apple ID and password, then click Create Home Share.

2In Settings, choose iPod then, under Home Sharing, enter the same Apple ID and password you used when turning on Home Sharing in iTunes.

3In iPod, tap More, then tap Shared and choose your iTunes library.

The Playlists, Artists, Songs, and other tabs in iPod now show the content of your iTunes library, instead of your iPhone content.

Return to content on your iPhone: In iPod, tap More, then tap Shared and choose iPhone at the top of the list.

Setting a Sleep Timer

You can set iPhone to stop playing music or videos after a period of time.

Set a sleep timer: From the Home screen choose Clock > Timer, then flick to set the number of hours and minutes. Tap When Timer Ends and choose Sleep iPod, tap Set, then tap Start to start the timer.

When the timer ends, iPhone stops playing music or video, closes any other open app, and then locks itself.
