Try closing the Music app via the taskbar and see if it shows when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Music app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Music app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.


If that doesn't work then also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I had the same problem: itunes' Home Sharing preferences window lies and says that it's turned on, when you turn it on from the preferences checkbox.


The real way to turn on Home Sharing is from the File menu -> Home Sharing -> Actually Turn On Home Sharing Please. This will give you another apple ID login form and finally enable home sharing! It's some sort of extra preference you can't set from the main preferences dialog.
