Home Sharing
Home Sharing lets you play music, movies, and TV shows from the iTunes library on your Mac or
PC. iPad and your computer must be on the same Wi-Fi network.

content, such as digital booklets and iTunes Extras, can’t be shared.

and password.

Music settings
Go to Settings > Music to set options for Music, including:
•Sound Check (to normalize the volume level of your audio content)
•Equalization (EQ)
Note: EQ aects all sound output, including the headset jack and AirPlay. EQ settings generally
apply only to music played from the Music app.
The Late Night setting, however, applies to all audio output—video as well as music. Late
Night compresses the dynamic range of the audio output, reducing the volume of loud
passages and increasing the volume of quiet passages. You might want to use this setting
when listening to music on an airplane or in some other noisy environment, for example.
