Mac App Console not connecting.

Mac App Console not connecting.

To get started, make sure your iPad or iPhone is on the same WiFi network as your Mac.

First, Open OnSong Version 1.9996 or greater on your iPad. Next, open OnSong Console on your Mac.
Here the Welcome Screen will open showing you Available Devices that you can connect to. To enable sharing in OnSong on your iOS device tap "Share" (to the right of "Songs") > "Connect" > "Servers" > and then tap the "Share your library with others" toggle button then “close”.

From that Welcome Screen, you can also review video tutorials as well as read the latest release notes.

- If the device you would like to connect to does not appear in the list make sure that you have sharing enabled.

Once your iPad or iPhone becomes available to select, go ahead and select the device you want to use. You will then be prompted on your iPad/iPhone to Accept sharing.
The library should import and give you visibility to all songs.

If you are a Console user, you will see that this will have a very similar feel, but if you are new to this, don’t worry, you will catch on quickly and be flying through in no time. Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.
