If you are an apple fan, you may have more than one apple products, you may have new iPad, iPhone, MacBook, Apple TV and more. I guess, you should be often have ideas to sync contents between them. iTunes is an useful bridge. You can sync new iPad with iTunes library every week or two, but it is troublesome to transfer a single movie to iPad just to play it for once. According to my own experience, sharing your iTunes library with iPad wirelessly is a good solution. Through that you can play any video and music from your Mac when you like - without transferring them to your iPad. If you’re interested in streaming over your local network, iTunes Home Sharing is all you need. Here’s how to set it up.
