Hello, You have fallen into another iTunes interface trap. There are two different ways to share a library. The Sharing toolbar button you find in your iTunes preferences is the old way and in my opinion, a far better interface than the new way called “home sharing”. In order to have your library seen by other devices you need to enable home sharing on the computer and the iOS device under a single apple id. Sadly, you have no control over what gets shared in the home sharing model. It’s all or nothing. The control you have in the iTunes Sharing preferences have no affect on home sharing. You should find home sharing in the iTunes file menu, and when you enable this on the computer and iOS device, you should be able to see your library. I’ll add the accessibility of picking the source is horrid for voiceover users on iOS devices. The video app’s interface is not accessible via voiceover unless you know where to click to switch libraries by guessing. And the interface in the Music app is not much better.
SO, in summary: Use home sharing to share your computer’s library to an iPod, iPad, iPhone or Apple TV. Use iTunes Library Sharing to share your library between computers running iTunes. Hope this helps. On Dec 23, 2013, at 7:13 PM, Agent086b <agent0...@bigpond.com> wrote: > Hi, > in the past I have been able to use the Remote App to play music in the house > using my sound system.
