IMac :: Streaming ITunes Content From A USB Drive?

Nov 15, 2010

I will shortly be receiving a new i7 iMac to replace my aging Mac Pro. I have a couple of TB of movies and music that I had on an internal drive in the Mac Pro that I used to stream to an Apple TV in another room. Since I am losing all of the drive bays I had with my Mac Pro, I am looking at external drives to use on the iMac. I was wondering how a USB drive would handle streaming movies and music. That is about the only thing that would be on the disk. Would it be fast enough? Or would it stutter? Or should I bite the bullet and go for a fire wire drive? I have a USB enclosure that I can use for it and when my Mac comes I can obviously try it, but was wondering if anyone was doing something similar.

Hardware :: Streaming Content From External HDD Attached To AEB To PS3?

Jan 3, 2009

I have an AirPort Extreme with a 1TB WD hard drive attached to it. I put a ton of movies and music on it and I want to know if there is a way to stream the content on that hard drive to my PS3. I would assume the PS3 would have to connect to my AEB to see the hard drive. If this is the case, is the PS3 Wireless-N? The reason I ask is because my AEB is in N-mode only and I would prefer to keep it that way.

ITunes For Mac :: NO Permanent Content On That Internal Drive

Jun 4, 2014

My primary workstation is now a New MacPro (late 12013) so the internal drive is too small to store my iTunes Library. I have backed up the main iTunes library from my laptop to an external drive. But I will now be working mostly at the NMP -which is ethernet wired (as I often upload/dowwnload extremely large files)  

I would like to designate the external drive as the main repository for the iTunes Library for the NMP. I see that many of my albums already reside in the iTunes Library on the internal drive for the NMP. I would like to free up that storage space and have NO permanent content on that internal drive. 

I think that using the REMOTE APP is intended for WIRELESS usage. So, ideally (while working) I would prefer to access iTunes app from the NMP (which is also wired to a sound system) and choose CONTENT from the external drive. So how do I clear the internal drive of all iTunes content and use the external drive exclusively?

ITunes :: Hacked Itunes Account And Downloaded In-app Content?

Apr 3, 2012

I don't usually check my itunes account, but today I actually decided I wanted to buy music. I put a $100 gift card I got from buying a Mac for college in a few months ago, and bought like $9 worth of stuff and just left it idle. It says that about 2 weeks ago there were purchases made to download an app and then some gem **** (in app content) that cost $80 ******* dollars that was bought. I'm not worried about my personal information because i don't use a legitimate adress and only buy gift cards, because I like to live off the apple grid i guess...w/e, WHO DO I EMAIL TO GET THAT MONEY BACK!!!

ITunes :: Playlists/content All Gone?

Mar 17, 2012

I am having a very bad moment right now.I have nearly 4TB of content,movies, music apps..etc.I have not made any changes to my MAC, I installed the latest version of iTunes when it came out.Everyhthing was working perfectly fine, until tonight, simply upon closing Itunes and reopening,my iTunes was like it was just installed, there is no content in my library, (Everything in my external HD's, just not on itunes)  only the three tabs that show content that come enabled by default are on.

ITunes :: Won't Play HD Content?

Mar 28, 2012

I have a MacBook Air (Mid 2011), and the latest version of iTunes installed (10.6).In the last version of iTunes I had been unable to play HD content, which was a problem experienced by many people. I got round it by opening iTunes in 32bit mode, starting to play the HD file, and then going back into 64bit mode, and the content would work. When 10.6 stated that you could know play 1080 content, this excited me because I thought that my problem would be over! However, iTunes still won't play any of my HD content purchased from the iTunes Store! It just comes up with an error message saying that Quicktime is required to play this file and iTunes doesn't support Quicktime.

I enter this link in the "open stream" dialogue box, but the stream doesn't play despite the link appearing in my iTunes music list, along with other url's that do work in iTunes.  Is there a way to make this work? I assume the iHeart radio link isn't compatible, but the other link?

OS X :: Drive Mapping / Moving Content Between Drives

Aug 23, 2009

I want to move all my movies and TV shows to a 1TB external drive that used to be my Time Machine (now I have a 2TB Time Machine.) Half of the content is on my iMac's internal drive, the other half is on a 500 GB external called "Media Extension." If I close iTunes, rename the Media Extension to something else, then rename the 1TB to Media Extension and move all the files, will iTunes still see all the files that were on the Media Extension? Obviously it won't see all the files that were on the internal drive, so I'd have to remap those. Similarly, will Time Machine add additional copies of all the files or will it see them as the same since they are still on "Media Extension." I might just blow away all my TV shows and movies from iTunes and then drop them back in and wipe out my Time Machine so I don't duplicate all these movies, but just wondering if I can reduce the work in this way.

OS X :: ITunes Not Downloading HD Purchased Content

May 6, 2009

I was at work today and purchased an HD TV Show on my computer. The episode downloaded I watched it then I deleted it. The space is very limited on the work computers otherwise I would have kept it on there. I go home and tell iTunes to get my newest downloads, and it only downloads the Standard Definition version of the show I purchased.

ITunes :: How To Remove All Missing Content

Apr 8, 2012

I was temporarily using my MAcBook Air as the family media server while our iMac was being repaired. To do so, I plugged in the external drive that is home to all our music, movies and tv shows. Now that the iMac is fixed, I set it back up as the server, plugging the iTunes drive into it and resetting AppleTV to work with it. Now to my question: All the content that had been on the iTunes external drive is now listed, but missing in iTunes. Obviously. Short of having to delete every file one at a time, is there any way to remove everything that is "missing" all at once? I'd like to only keep a few songs on my laptop, and keep the lists of what I have very tidy, hence the need to delete everything iTunes can't find.

ITunes :: Playing 1080p HD Content

Apr 27, 2012

I have a lot of 1080p videos on my Mac, and I can play them in every app but iTunes. iTunes says i cannot play the videos as I have a 1.86GHz CPU, which does not meet the requirements for playing 1080p HD videos in iTunes [URL]. The thing is is that I can play these videos in any other app (they are not protected files, as they are BluRay rips from my external BluRay drive).  

My question is this: how can I get these videos to play on my Mac, and on my iPod touch as well?

Any programs out there anyone know about or anything already on the mac that'll do it.

IMac :: Streaming Music Videos From Mini To PS3

Mar 22, 2009

This will be easier if you know my setup, so here goes:

Computers: Mac mini (not a new one) (10.5.6)
Dell XPS 410 (Vista Home Premium)
Dell Studio 540 (Vista HP x64)
Router: Belkin N+ (4 gigabit ethernet, 802.11 b/g/n)
Connection Type: Mac (AirPort to the router)
XPS 410 (Ethernet) 540 (N+ USB adapter)
Other devices: PS3 (a few more, but they're not relevant).

Here's what I want to do. I want to stream some video, maybe music, from my mini to the PS3. For free. I was thinking since the PCs can connect to the PS3, that I could use one of those a catalyst.
