    First of all, you cannot sync music to the iPad using Home Sharing. Home Sharing will allow you to listen to the music in your iTunes library from the PC on your iPad. You cannot transfer the music from the PC to the iPad with Home Sharing.

     

    On your PC make sure that you have it set up properly in the iTunes preferences Edit>Preferences>Sharing>Share my library on local network.
