Why is it not possible to play music from iPad’s music library on Apple TV?

I had done almost all set ups on my newly bought iPad fairly well. But when I tried to play music from the iTunes music library on iPad and get it to be played on the Apple TV I found that this was not possible. Why can’t I play the music?

I believe your issues of the music not playing can be solved by turning on the home sharing. If this is not done, you would not be able to share any files on it, be it music, images or video. You would be able to select the home sharing option from the file menu. But you will have to go further to enable the home sharing facility on your iPad. This can be done by going to the ‘edit’ menu which is a drop down menu and by selecting the option ‘preferences’ from it. Inside this you would be able to find the option ‘sharing’. Here you would be provided with choices for selecting either the entire library or select individual files on which you would be able to share the music.
