IPad – Stream photos from iTunes to iPad

ipaditunesphotosstreaming

I have enabled Home Sharing on a PC (Windows 7). I am successfully streaming Video and Music to my iPad.

Now the fun things is that I have found out that I can't stream photos from PC to iPad normally. I have the way for it via DropBox but that's not a WiFi. It could take sometime for me to normally stream photos.

I can't belive that I can stream Video and Music but I can't stream Photos.

There was a menu item on iTunes -> Advanced -> Choose Photos to Share…

But this seems not what I want (it works great but with Apple TV, but not with iPad)

How is that possible???

Alright, that's possible. But is there a way to stream photos in a such simple and logical way?

P.S: Similiar looking question "http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/26250/can-you-stream-photos-from-a-pc-to-an-ipad" is not really similiar.

I don't believe you actually can. Home Sharing does have photo sharing support (as you've discovered with your Apple TV), but I don't believe you can stream photos from a computer to an iPad. Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts and the rest, but I don't remember photos from a computer to an iPad were ever supported.

The only way to do it would be to use a third-party app or use iCloud with Photo Stream, if you can work within its limitations.
