Home Sharing

Home Sharing lets you play music, movies, and TV shows on iPad from the iTunes library on your Mac or PC.

Note: Booklets, albums, LPs, and other bonus content can’t be shared.

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

Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes: On your computer, open iTunes and choose Advanced > Turn On Home Sharing. Enter your Apple ID and password, then click Create Home Share.

Play music or video on iPad from your iTunes library:

1In Settings, choose iPod then, under Home Sharing, enter the same Apple ID and password you used when turning on Home Sharing in iTunes.

2In 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 iPad content.

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

Transferring Content

You can transfer purchases you make on iPad to a computer that’s authorized to play content from your Apple ID. To authorize the computer, open iTunes on the computer and choose Store > Authorize This Computer.

Transfer purchased content: Connect iPad to your computer. iTunes asks if you want to transfer purchased content.
