    No explanation does not help!

     

    Do you have iTunes running on your computer and did you did tap on the More Button at the bottom of the Music app to get to the Shared Tab?

     

    After you tap on the Shared button you will be able to select your iTunes library or the iPad library in the next window. After you select the one that you want to use, a red checkmark will appear next to the library that you chose.

    I have my itunes running on my PC with the home share logged in.  The home share on my ipad is running and im pretty sure im connected to the same wifi network.

     

    When I open the Music app on the ipad there is no "shared" button to tap on there is just a botton on the center of the screen that take me to the itunes store

     

    The shared button is supose to be on the bottom grey bar, just updated my ipad and this has caused the problem,worked previously to update!

     

    Thanks for you help

    Do a reset ie hold the sleep/wake and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears and check that Home Sharing is enabled in Settings.
