Five Tweaks that can be used to make life easier on iPad 2 – Part 2

1.      
2. Home Sharing

iPad has a very attractive feature in the iOS 4.2 or later, that enables five different Apple devices to share music and videos libraries on a single network. Do not confuse it with iCloud as it only spans over music
and videos and on a single home network.

Following steps make sure feature is enabled and can be used on different iOS and Mac devices.

·        
First, enable home sharing on iTunes on the Mac device like Macbook Pro, Air or iMac. Go to sharing and click Home Sharing.

·        
Then enter the Apple ID and password to enable the Mac device on the network.

·        
Then enable the same on iPad by going to Settings—General—Home Sharing, and then entering the user name and password.

·        
The library that has been shared will be available in the iPod or Music app, depending on the iOS version.

·        
Go to Music—More—the library name and then scroll through the files to listen to music.

·        
For videos, it is the same process but the app to use is Videos.
