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.

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.

Play music from your computer iTunes library on iPad:

1In iTunes on your computer, go to File > Home Sharing > Turn On Home Sharing. Log in, then click Create Home Share.

2On iPad, go to Settings > Music, then log in to Home Sharing using the same Apple ID and password.

3In Music, tap More, then tap Shared and choose your computer’s library. Return to content on iPad: Tap Shared and choose My iPad.

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 affects 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.
