I've just bought an iPad (9th generation). Everything has transferred from my
ancient iPad Air except one.

I have a machine that I use to hold old movies. I access them only at home via
Home Sharing.

The new iPad can the machine holding the movies, but when I tru to access
them, I get a message saying 'Failed to connect. Please check your betwork and
try again.'

I have checked that I am on the correct network. Eveything else can still
connect and play the files.

Any idea what I'm missing?

Can the new iPad ping the machine holding the movies? By Name? By IP
address?

Yes and it could see it in the app, just would show the content. Fixed now
though, there was an extra security setting blocking it.

Only too 2 hours and 3 different Apple techs to sort it.

Since you ask so nicely... actually no, can't find it again. I spent hours
going in and out of things in settings and now I can't find it. The only items
in there were Apple TV and BBC.

Sorry.

Thank you, Sara.

You may already know this ..... but it took me a while to notice when I first
started using an iPad.

In "Settings", left hand column, if you drag the column downwards, at the top
one reveals a search box, into which you can type a word of your choice to
'find' whatever you are searching for. It has saved me much time in the past!

Enjoy your new iPad! :-)

OK Thanks. Seems strange - if an app is installed on a computer surely
it would expect to have access to the LAN?

The app might expect that but I might want to prevent it.

At one time you could trust developers that their apps did what they
said they did. Nowadays, what with vast imported libraries, poisoned
repositories and AI assisted code, who knows what an app does, least of
all the developer.

Being able to block LAN access (and camera and microphone and the rest)
that the app doesn't need to fulfil its stated purpose is a useful
security backstop.

Maybe so, but nowadays these things are privileged and need to be manually
enabled.
