I used to be able to access my movies at home via file sharing on my computer's iTunes. My ipad3 still works beautifully so I'm guessing something is up with my ipad2 that no longer works. This would be very annoying considering I use my ipad2 as my work iPad and I cannot swap with the kids ipad3 because it doesn't have 3G and therefore can't be use outside of wifi.

File sharing?
Sorry... Might be confusing. My iMac has file sharing turned on so that I can access my movies through the iPad. I select the videos icon on my ipad and my library shows up. When I press my library it looks like its accessing but stops halway. My ipad3 however has no problems and accessing immediately allowing me to see and all my movies on the iPad. This stopped working on the ipad2 only a few weeks back. I have restarted the ioad2 twice but it won't correct itself.
Do you mean home sharing?
How long do you wait for the library to completely load?
It sometimes takes a minute or 2.
Have you tried a reset of the iPad?
Do you mean home sharing? Yes
How long do you wait for the library to completely load? iPad 3 takes a few seconds... I have left the iPad 2 for 20 minutes and it gets no further.

Have you tried a reset of the iPad? Yes... A few times.
I just synced my iPad with iTunes and what do you know it started working again.
My ipad2 stopped accessing my movies via file sharing. My iPad3 still works. Has my iPad2 become obsolete?
