Apr 22, 2014 7:08 AM in response to robdrageby Tyro1973,Yes, I am logged in correctly. Both Ipad and Itunes correctly show my Apple Id under home sharing settings.

2. Make sure PC and iPad are on the same network.

Apr 22, 2014 7:11 AM in response to Tyro1973by pjl123,The more is hidden at the bottom right of the main i tunes screen.
Sometimes i lose the sharing option - go to the computer and wake it up. toggle home sharing off then on again. See if that gets it to find itself.

Apr 22, 2014 7:24 AM in response to Diavonexby Tyro1973,And, as you can see from my initial question, I have IOS 7.1, Sooo, this begs the question, is the 'More' button extinct? Have Apple done away with streaming?!

Apr 22, 2014 7:33 AM in response to Tyro1973by pjl123,I never noticed this before... I just looked at my pad. I am away from my home shared network (at work). and the shared / more stuff does not appear. It only appears when it sees the network you are sharing with.
So if you are not seeing the choice, then your pad and network are not talking. Recheck the pad. settings, music, home sharing - make sure there is no typo in the shared network name. Recheck the pc for the same issue.

Apr 22, 2014 8:29 AM in response to Diavonexby rockmyplimsoul,Home Shariing is not accessible from Control Center, AirPlay is but not Home Sharing.
The "Shared" option is found in the "More ..." section, bottom-right of Music app in iOS 7. If you don't have a "More ..." selection, then maybe a Reset or Restore is in order, since that is how you not only access Home Sharing but also how you get the "Edit" button to rearrange the categories in the Music app "tray" at the bottom.
If you manage to get the "More..." option in view, note that you won't see the "Shared" option unless (a) your iTunes library is up and running on the host computer, and (b) your iPad is on the same Wi-Fi network as the computer, and (c) Home Sharing is turned on and you're logged into the same Apple ID for Home Sharing.
