ios 16 "home videos" are "movies on apple tv ipad, there is no Home videos section, they are all muddled in with recently purchased ( which is also not true) okay on iMac M1 and okay on Apple TV on my TV. Just another Apple quirk? Bit like changing the emoji position - pointless.

Hello Tony Rees,


We understand that you're having an issue on your iPad when accessing Home Sharing. To ensure that we're on the correct path, did you complete the following steps on your iPad, as shown in the resource you were reviewing: Use Home Sharing to share media from a computer to other devices



"After you sign in, connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to the same Wi-Fi network as your computer, and open the Music app, Apple TV app, or iTunes for Windows on your computer.

A shared library in the Apple TV app Library tab on an iPhone 

  1. Open the TV app.
  2. Tap Library.
  3. Choose a shared library."


If you completed these steps and you're still having an issue, please be sure to check that you've taken these steps as well:


"• Update all of your Apple devices to the latest versions of iOSiPadOSmacOS, and tvOS. On your PC, make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes for Windows.

• Connect all of your devices to the same Wi-Fi or Ethernet network.

• Make sure that all of your devices are signed in with the same Apple ID and authorized to play purchases using that Apple ID."


We look forward to your reply.

Best regards.

Thanks for responding, but to some extent I’ve “sort of” solved what’s wrong. I have no trouble with home sharing on the iPad it works fine BUT when I turn it on, I do not have a section called Home Videos but as I found out, all my Home Videos are now in the Movies section.

This is not the case on my iMac OR Apple TV where the Home video section remains.

okay, so not a major problem, but sorting is very messy. So why this change I wonder.
