Apr 29, 2013 1:32 AM in response to Diavonexby Liz1949,Thanks, but I've checked that. The iTunes on this iPad doesn't have the 'home share' link and I can't find the advanced link its also asking.
When we got the iPad we hooked it up to a friends computer to get it working, could this be a problem?
Thanks

Apr 29, 2013 1:47 AM in response to Liz1949by AkChris82,First to find it on your iPad you would Do the Following: Settings>Scroll to the Music Setting> Check to see if your signed in.
If your NOT signed in then you will need to Sign in Using your Apple ID to access the Home Sharing Option,
iTunes>Files>Home Sharing. As before if your not signed in you'll need to be signed in using your Apple ID in order to use Home share.

Apr 29, 2013 1:52 AM in response to AkChris82by Liz1949,Yep signed in, however, when in iTunes I can't find files. When I open iTunes it doesn't have the left hand tool bar, it's just gives me the option to purchase tv, music movies etc. I don't have any music downloaded on the iPad.
