    If your iPad is on iOS 8.4 or 8.4.1 then you can't home share music from your computer to the iPad, only videos.

     

    To home share from your computer's iTunes library to it : Settings > Videos > Home Sharing (or Settings > Music > Home Sharing if not on iOS 8.4+)

     

    Your computer and iPad will need to be connected to the same wifi network, iTunes open on your computer, and you should see a shared library in the Videos app (and Music if not on iOS 8.4+)
