Home Sharing
Home Sharing lets you play music, movies, and TV shows on iPod touch from
the iTunes library on your Mac or PC.
Note: Home Sharing requires iTunes 10.2 or later, available at
www.itunes.com/download. Bonus content, such as digital booklets and
iTunes Extras, can’t be shared.
iPod touch and your computer must be on the same Wi-Fi network. iTunes on
your computer must be open, with Home Sharing turned on and logged in to the
same Apple account as Home Sharing on iPod touch.
Play music or video on iPod touch from your iTunes library:
1 In iTunes on your Mac or PC, choose Advanced > Turn On Home Sharing. Enter
your Apple ID and password, then click Create Home Share.
2 In Settings, choose Music then, under Home Sharing, enter the same Apple ID and
password you used when turning on Home Sharing in iTunes.
3 In Music, tap More, then tap Shared and choose your iTunes library.
The Playlists, Artists, Songs, and other tabs in Music now show the content of your
iTunes library, instead of your iPod touch content.
Return to content on your iPod touch: In Music, tap More, then tap Shared and
choose iPod touch at the top of the list.

Set a sleep timer: From the Home screen choose Clock > Timer, then ick to set the
number of hours and minutes. Tap When Timer Ends and choose Sleep iPod, tap Set,
then tap Start to start the timer.
When the timer ends, iPod touch stops playing music or video, closes any other open
app, and then locks itself.
