Time Capsule as file and media server

This screencast will show you how to move your iTunes library to an external disk whether it be an external hard drive or a networked attached drive. In this show I will be using Apples Time Capsule.

Is there a way of doing what you have explained however instead of two separate libraries have one? I have been trying to find a away of having on iTunes library with some files over a network while others are on the internal laptop harddrive?

@williespots Your question is contradicting itself. You first ask how to have a single iTunes library and then you proceed to say that you were trying to figure out how to have two separate libraries. Which do you want?

I have Windows Vista but I don't know how to add files to my Time Capsule, can you please help me:)?

[bassinthetruck]

@Bananer09 Mount the Time Capsule network share, drag and drop your files from your local hard drive to the network volume.

Informative!

1. Can iTunes point simultaneously to 2 libraries (lean-mean library on laptop + library on time capsule) ?

2. Can songs on time capsule folders from one computer be accessed from another computer on same network ?

3. Can time capsule content be accessed from computers outside of the local intranet ?

4. Can iPhoto be also configured to store bulk of the pictures on the time capsule ? If yes, how ?

Thanks in advance !

I cant have the library on my iMac and iBook at the same time , and how to stream to iPad and appletv ? thx

Its nice but its not a good solution. When you loose your TC HDD, you loose all your music...

Hi, does this still work with iTunes 10? Thanks so much!

[mymumhitsme1]

this is awesome thanks but just 2 questions

I use a desktop imac and I want to still be able to use apple tv for airplay for movies, pictures and music so would i still be able to do so?

And also would i still be able to sync music, videos and pictures with my iphone/ipod ?

great video, I did so and it works pretty good except below two points.

1. when I turn off the computer and turn it back on it can't find the library and I need to point them to the library again. I connect my TC with my computer using ether net. I will need to connect with the TC to get this done. How can I connect my TC with my computer permanently?

2. my applications are still point to the computer instead of the TC.
