Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

I don't have my old computer, or any other. I only have an ipad4 and iPhone5 so how do I sync my cd music collection that is on my ipad?

How do I either set up home sharing to sync my music between my ipad and iphone or set up iTunes Match when I don't have the old computer I originally used to save all of my CDs?

iPad, iOS 6.1.4, iPhone 5

You can't use home sharing to copy content from one iOS device to another (home sharing can only be set up from a computer's iTunes and it can only stream to iOS devices, it can only copy content between computers). You also can't set up iTunes Match from an iOS device, it can only be set up and upload content from a computer's iTunes.


You might be able to re-download iTunes purchased music on your iPhone via the Purchased tab in its iTunes store app, but you will only be able to get your other music onto it via a computer's iTunes.
