to edit the playlist name, stop syncing, or delete the playlist.
Delete a saved Genius playlist. Tap the Genius playlist, then tap Delete.
Home Sharing
Home Sharing lets you play music, movies, and TV shows from the iTunes library on your Mac or
PC. iPad and your computer must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
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.

1 In iTunes on your computer, choose File > Home Sharing > Turn On Home Sharing. Log in, then

2 On iPad, go to Settings > Music, then log in to Home Sharing using the same Apple ID
and password.

Music settings
Go to Settings > Music to set options for Music, including:
•
Sound Check (to normalize the volume level of your audio content)
•
Equalization (EQ)
Note: EQ settings generally apply only to music played from the Music app, but they aect all
sound output, including the headset jack and AirPlay.
The Late Night setting compresses the dynamic range of the audio output, reducing the
volume of loud passages and increasing the volume of quiet passages. You might want to use
this setting when listening to music on an airplane or in some other noisy environment. The
Late Night setting applies to all audio output—video as well as music.
•
Volume Limit
Note: In some European Union (EU) countries, iPad may indicate when you’re setting the volume
above the EU recommended level for hearing safety. To increase the volume beyond this level,
you may need to briey release the volume control. To limit the maximum headset volume to
this level, go to Settings > Music > Volume Limit, then turn on EU Volume Limit.
Prevent changes to the volume limit. Go to Settings > General > Restrictions > Volume Limit,
then tap Don’t Allow Changes.
