You can even use the technology to extend the playback option to your iOS and Apple TV (2nd generation). The entire networking process works through your home Wi-Fi network.
Steps to transfer music from iPad to iPhone using Home Sharing
Before beginning the process, ensure that both the iPad and iPhone are on the same Wi-Fi network and connected.
Step 1: Enable “Home Sharing” option on your iPad and iPhone. The login screen will appear, where you have to key in your Apple ID and password. Repeat the process for iPhone. Now open the “Music” app on your iPad. At the bottom, you will notice the artists, radio, playlists, and so on elements. Click on “More” option. If you do not see the option, please wait for a few minutes.
Step 2: From the next screen, click “Shared” to see the media files in the library. In the next screen, tick the library that you would like to connect. If you have a larger music library, it will take a while, so please be patient. Once finished you will notice a check mark on the shared library, which you can now access. You can share the entire library or only those files that you would like to transfer to iPhone.
Step 3: Tap the home screen icon located on the upper-right corner of the iTunes window. From here, you can quickly view the music that you shared from your iPad.
Step 4: You can see all the media files in the library. Select the ones that you wish to copy to your iPhone. You can collectively drag the files to the left of the window. A sidebar will appear when you begin dragging the files. You can then drop the files in the window, which is that of the iPhone, to transfer the music files. The process of completing the action depends on the size of the files selected. For a faster transfer rate, select a limited quantity of data.
