    Hi 32567,

     

    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on your exact question, but if you are asking about how to get content (like music) to play on your Apple TV, you can do so from either an iOS device like an iPad, or from iTunes on a computer. You may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

     

    Use AirPlay to wirelessly stream content from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

    Use AirPlay to wirelessly stream content from iTunes on your computer - Apple Support

    Use Home Sharing to share iTunes content with other devices on your home network - Apple Support

     

    Cheers

    Not quite to my point. I activate Home Sharing on my PC, I pad and Apple TV. Then go to Apple TV to play music. Is the music I am playing from the iPad or the PC - or from both?

    Ah, gotcha. In that case, if you are using Home Sharing, the content would be coming from iTunes on your PC (the third article linked above goes into a bit more detail).

     

    Cheers

    Apple Support Communities updatesNot sure we have the true answer yet. While waiting for your recent response I did some experimenting. I downloaded a tune on my iPad, went to Apple TV. The tune was there(only after I opened iTunes on the PC) and I played it. Went to my PC(W7), looked at iTunes and the tune was not there until I downloaded it from the Apple Store. So ---my conclusion is that Apple TV displays songs from both iPad and PC and that Apple TV can't play music until ITunes is turned on on the PC. Seems the PC is the controlling app for the Apple TV system. Comment?
