Apple TV as back up for iTunes

Hi-
I currently have my iTunes collection on an external hard drive as I don't have enough space on my hard drive (100GB MacBook Pro). If I sync everything onto the new Apple TV, could I use it as a "back-up" of my iTunes Library in case the external drive fails?
Thanks

Not unles you are skilled enough to hack AppleTV to allow access to the files or prepared to open the case and remove the drive to get at the files.
Effectively this means no for 99% of users.

IMac Desktop computer >OS X Updates Avail Banner - How to stop? I don't want to install Mavericks. Did Apple>Sys Pref>Notifications: None for iTunes, Safari, Mail but Banner still popping up. Thanks for any help.

I have tried unchecking the "Automatically check for updates" in the Software Update control panel. Of course, then you have to remember to check manually periodically for security updates etc. So far, the annoying banners seem to have stopped, but maybe just because I have not waited long enough for them to come back.

Is there a way to consolidate two different Apple ID's into one. I have an old Apple ID that I used for Itunes and a new I used to set up my iphone.

You cannot merge accounts.
Why did you start a new account?

Clicking on the link takes me to the front page of apple support which is not very helpful.
I have an enrolled enterprise Dev account - or at least I think I do as the moneys gone out but apple isn't communicating on the process at all.
ITunes account is verified - twice.
Last Apple Dev took six weeks to get processed - this one is taking at least as long.
Any ideas what next.
NZ Support number asks for an extention and then says beep when you put it in - no go there.
Australian desk is theoretically open but keep getting - this support center is closed messages.
Singapore is a generic help desk - not Apple Dev support.
And now, despite clicking on Dev support it asks me what device I want support for - Well Duh !!! None. Apple Support - oxy moron.

Hey Syed Hassan,
Thanks for the question. iTunes Connect is a service for developers and content providers to manage the content they have offered on the iTunes Store. If this is indeed what you are attempting to do, you’ll want to get started with the online application:
Apple - iTunes - Working with iTunes - Sell Your Content - iTunes Connect
https://www.apple.com/itunes/working-itunes/sell-content/connect/
Otherwise, if you are a consumer that is looking for more information on Game Center, check out this resource:

Apple ID isn't enabled for iTunes Connect

This is making me very upset:( Yesterday, I enrolled as a solo apple developer. But trying to login into iTunes Connect simply isn't working. It says, Your Apple ID isn't enabled for iTunes Connect. What does this mean. I cant find anything on the topic except the same thing happening to others. I have apps ready to launch and I am getting very frustrated.

Got same problem.
I've changed my log in e-mail, activated it through the link sent to my new e-mail and that's it. I can't log in to iTunes Connect, shows me this error "Your Apple ID isn't enabled for iTunes Connect".
I can log in my Developer account, but not in iTunes Connect.
Also I contacted Apple Developer Program Support through e-mail. They gave me my case number - 665965180. But there were no response since, it's already 2 days of silence.
I'm little bit scared, just want to know what I need to do to activate log in to iTunes Connect.
Please help.

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can use your primary ID or your alternate ID to log into iCloud. If you aren't sure what these are, you can find out at...

IPad2 and a new MacBook running Lion, Both Devices use the same Apple ID which is a Hotmail eMail id. Can I create a new iCloud eMail Id and use iCloud eMail and continue to use my Hotmail Id for my Apple Id and use it for iTunes, iCloud

I have an iPad2 and a new MacBook running Mountain Lion. Both Devices use the same Apple ID which is a Hotmail eMail id. Can I create a new iCloud eMail Id and use iCloud eMail and continue to use my current Hotmail Id for my Apple Id for iTunes, iCloud.
Note, I will use both Hotmail and iCloud eMail.

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

Apple TV Purchases Backed Up In Itunes But Will Not Show In Home Sharing On Ipad

This problem is bizzare.
Basically I have had Apple TV for a while but really only made some purchases from the interface on the TV the other day. (Besides Rentals)
Normally I buy the movie directly on my macbook and download it. Then go watch it on my Apple TV.
This time I bought on Apple TV then went to Itunes and downloaded it off the cloud. Any movie I have purchased from the Apple TV will not show up on Home Sharing (Sharing from my Macbook to my Ipad2) Even though it was purchased with the same apple id and the movies are physically downloaded to itunes on the macbook.
If I pull up Sidebar in Itunes 11 and click itunes store and then purchases my movies show up. (That's how I downloaded them to itunes) Although, if I click "purchased" from the Sidebar (Under Itunes Store) the movies purchased from the Apple TV do not show up. It's almost like Apple Tv let me back them up but did not associate them with the itunes account.

I agree with what you're saying. I just bought Skyfall through my Apple TV because it would allow me to download 1080p (my PC wouldn't) and I specifically recall it saying that this media would be sharable...yet when I'm on my iPad Mini it doesn't show up in Videos > Shared along with all my other non-Apple purchases. This doesn't seem right.
I tried copying the m4v file to my desktop, renaming it and tried to then import it back into my iTunes library but it didn't do any action. It must recognize the DRM protection.
I realize now that using my iPad going to iTunes > Purchased I only have the option to download from the cloud, and not to home share it from my PC. I agree that filling up my HD space on my device is not a reasonable solution.
I see it listed in iTunes on my PC and I right-clicked and selected "download 1080p". Now I have the movie file sitting on my hard drive but I still have the same condition.
When I checked "Get Info" it shows up as a "Protected MPEG-4 Video File. I wonder if this has something to do with it. Frankly I find the whole purchase/library system very confusing. I never am sure which device to purchase it with or how it will be sharable. Very frustrating. It should be much simpler across all iOS devices. I think DRM issue have a lot to do with the problem.

When is Apple gonna release a patch for iTunes to sync apps?

I already bought the apps the day it first came out and i can't even sync the january software upgrade to my ipod touch. i'm not about to re-sync my ipod and lose all my music just for 5 little apps. i refuse to do that. i wanna know when apple is gonna release a patch for itunes (7.6.1) so i can sync the upgrade file to my ipod touch without having to lose my music collection?
if the patch doesn't come out by the end of the month, i'm gonna ask for my money back.

well, the thing is, some of my mp3's aren't on my computer since i probably deleted them off my hard drive at one point or if i was using another computer to add my music. i have an ipod video that has the same exact collection as my ipod touch, but i like to have my playlists a certain way and i don't want to start organizing it the way i like it again. its such a pain.
i just want apple to at least say something about a patch. they're always quiet about everything, even something as simple as updates.

When will Apple support a sync feature for itunes and iphone?

Anyone know when Apple will support a sync feature for iTunes 11.1.1 and iOS 7.0.2? Its been a few weeks since iOS 7 was released and I still can't sync between my phone and computer.
I'm curious if the lack of communication means they aren't interested in bringing this function back.

Not sure what the sync problem is, but see Restore podcasts deleted by iTunes 11.1... for some advice on that issue.

I just got a iPhone 5c. I am trying to activate icloud on it. It is asking for my apple id. I have put in the apple ID I am using for Itunes which itunes accepted it. Icloud keeps telling me my password or id is wrong. Can someone help me with this?

I just got my first iPhone. I really like it but it will not accept my apple ID. It keeps telling me the password or id is wrong. I know it is write due to I use it for iTunes and it works find there. Can anyone help me or do I need to call tech support?
Thanks

Ended up calling apple and got this fixed. Had to change id since it was made years ago with the old style of IDs.

How do i get my pictures back if they were all backed up for iTunes for a long time?

I'm going to try and make this question sound as simple as possible and hope for a simple answer as well
I take plenty of pictures and simply don't have room for them on my phone. So i back up my phone to iTunes (i think- well i sync my music at least) every 2 weeks or so and then DELETE the pictures on my phone so i have more room available. so if i never deleted any phone pictures i would have over 15,000 pictures.
anyways--- my iPhoto library randomly disappeared and cannot be located (See other discussion i posted) and i was wondering if i am able to get back the pictures. i did not back up any pictures to a hard drive. were my pictures backed up to iTunes or my iPhoto library every time i plugged in my phone??
please reply

Backing up to iTunes and storing photos in iPhoto are two unrelated things.
I'd ask about your iTunes back up on the iPhone forum.

Apple-created Getting Started Guide for iTunes?

Several months ago, I was able to locate a .PDF entitled "iTunes Getting Started" that gave great instructions for using iTunes. I've used it in the past in my teaching and my students found it helpful.
Today, I went looking for it again and cannot find it. I can find the "Getting Started" series for each of the iLife apps EXCEPT iTunes.
The ones for iLife '08 are hosted at http://www.apple.com/support/manuals/ A Google search returns all the '06 version Getting Started guides, but nothing I use returns the iTunes Getting Started document.
I know I've used one for iTunes, but just can't locate it.
Does anyone have a copy they'd share/post? Or know where Apple's got it stored?
Thanks,

I don't know of a PDF, but perhaps these sites will help:
