Access my iTunes library from outside of my local network

Good Evening,
I recently transferred all my music to my new WD My Book Live and saved my new iTunes library to this new external drive. When I'm connected to my local network, everything works fine. However, I would like to be able to open iTunes and access my library also when I'm not connect to my local network. For example, when I'm at work, I would like to be able to open iTunes and access my music on my NAS device at home. Is this even possible?
Thanks!

If you create a new library on the new computer and turn on iTunes Match on that computer using the same Apple ID that you signed up with then your library will be available to download.
However, be aware that there will very likely be mismatches in your cloud library, where songs have matched with slightly different versions.
If you have a backup of your library then you will be better off using that.

    The songs that you want to sync need to be on the "local" storage of the computer being used to sync the iPod.

  • Can time capsule allow me to stream music from my itunes library directly to my home stereo system?  Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?

    Sorry, not sure if I understand what you are asking.
    Are you thinking of moving your iTunes / Media Folder from your Mac to the Time Capsule? 
    If you do this...when...not if...the Time Capsule drive has a problem....you lose everything because you have no backup for the iTunes library.
    A much safer plan would be to add an external hard drive to your computer and move the iTunes library there.
    Then, if you are using Time Machine for backups, it will back up both your Mac and the hard drive.  Now you have "originals" on one drive and backups on another.
    In order to stream music from the iTunes library, iTunes must always be open on your computer.
    Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?
    Yes, if your TV has an HDMI input and you have an Apple TV.

  • Can I access my itunes library from a different apple tv

    Can I access my itunes library through my parents apple tv? I would like to show them photos from my library.

    Not unless the iTunes library is on your parent's local network.
    If it is, then configure iTunes and AppleTV to use the same Home Sharing Credentials, and set up Photos to Share under the iTunes Advanced tab.

  • Why can't   i access my itunes library from anywhere?

    Why can't I access all of my iTunes library when I am of at home connected to wifi.. The whole reason I bought iTunes Match was do I could access my entire library from anywhere?

    On iTunes using your computer have you completed the iTunes Match 3-step process?
    If so, within Song view you can enable a field called iCloud status - sorting Songs on this field will show what is available from the cloud.
    It sounds like all you need to do is to enable mobile internet on your iPhone to allow access over 3G as well as WiFi.

  • Accessing an itunes library from different version of itunes

    I recently installed yosemite and with that came iTunes 12 since I have an iPhone 6 with 8.1 I will keep iTunes 12. But I have been having major issues with syncing video files to my iphone 4S(ipod touch now) 7.1.2JB. The files never sync or appear to sync and then when I go to view them on the iphone the size shows up as zero. So I feel like if I go back to an older version iTunes all will be right in the world. I just wonder will I have any issues if I have different versions accessing the itunes library files? Planning on using iTunes 11.4 and iTunes 12.
    TIA

    Open the iTunes preferences, click on the Advanced tab, turn off the option to automatically copy the music to the iTunes Music folder, and then drag the library on the Windows partition to the open iTunes window. This will not transfer playlists and other metadata and will not keep the Mac version of the library in sync.

  • Can't access iPhoto 09 library from outside iPhoto

    Since upgrading to iLife 09 I can't access my iPhoto library from anywhere BUT iPhoto. I use Photoshop CS2 and open my photos directly from that application. But now when the directory actually appears, it is greyed-out and inaccessible.

    Yes you can do this
    In Finder you can right click the iPhoto library and choose 'show package contents'.
    but you shouldn't.
    With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 and later*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and later* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    All of these are a: faster and b: safer than rooting around in the folders of the Library package
