Apple TV- Confused can you really stream?

My set-up is Intel iMac connected by ethernet to router that then connects to powerline adapter which then connects my appleTv (first gen) also by ethernet
Can I access the whole of my itunes library (330gb) - streaming data over my network- or is this slow & impratical and really the only good option is to do what I have been doing, to sync selected playlists?
But I would really like to be able to access more of my library - is the situation any better with a newer model ATV? Or if not is there a device that really would enable me to access my whole library?
How about a shh....Sonos?

I've used that setup successfully to stream.
What software are you running on AppleTV?
Check Settings>About or the device details in iTunes.

Yes you can, though only AppleTv compatible content will play of course.
But I would really like to be able to access more of my library - is the situation any better with a newer model ATV? Or if not is there a device that really would enable me to access my whole library?
No different, though there are difference from software 1.0/1.1 to later in that after 2.0+ the sync library also automatically streams anything else - no need to set up a shared/stream only library.
How about a shh....Sonos?
To what end?

  • Do you have to upload photos to iPads or can you just stream them

    Do you have to upload your photos to the ipad or can you just stream them? hoping they can be streamed ..... if so what is the best way to do this ? can this be done through my time capsule?

    First you are confusing HD space with RAM, these are two totally different things!!
    If you like most users what take up the majority of HD space is media such as photos, music and movies. You would be best served by moving these libraries to and external HD. Here are Apple's instructions for doing this:

    iPhoto: How to move the Library to an EHD
    iTunes: How to move the library to an EHD

  • If you buy an IPad online would it have an Apple warranty and can you get extended warranty from Apple

    If you buy an iPad online would it have an Apple warranty. Can you get extended warranty?

    If you buy it from the Apple Online store yes it will have full 1 year warranty, and the possibility to directly buy Apple Care +.
    If you buy it from somewhere else, it may not. If the online seller is not an Apple authorized reseller then you may need to take to to an Apple Store for physical inspection before purchasing the Apple Care Plus extension.
    If its not sealed and new, the warranty timer may have started to elapse, and it may not be eligible for Apple Care +.
    But without knowing where you plan to buy it its hard to say for sure.

  • How can you record stream from a webcam like YouTube does it

    We need to create a webcam stream recorder with FMS which should be able to record stream in some predefined quality (128000/bandwidth,95/quality) and will work also in the situation when the user doesn't have enough bandwidth to transfer this stream in realtime.  YouTube has a solution which is using something like a buffer and when the user stops recording they continue to send video data to the server until the stream is completely recorded.  We are recording the stream from our user's webcam, but when the bandwidth is not consistent or not enough, we are losing video data and ending up with poor quality recordings. What we need is that the record stream is buffered on the user's computer and the video data continues to be sent to our server even after the user has finished recording so that we end up with the complete stream (video data). We need some idea how to do this - which specific features should we used for this solution?

    Does it have to be a live solution? Or can you have the user record locally and then upload to your FMS server?

  • ? on Mac App Apple Software Purchase Can You Put on 1 Mac?

    Hi, Not the best Title (or Post)
    I am considering purchasing 1 (Garageband 11" App from the Mac App Store) and Possibly iPhoto
    I read (I thought*) that if You purchased a Mac App You Could share it on other (compatible)
    Mac's in Your Home and on your Network (if You have one) it would be on a Intel imac
    running OSX 10.6.8 and a Dec 2009 Mac Book Pro also running OSX 10.6.8
    The Family Pack Disk is 5 users and > than needed, and the Single User (disk)
    would leave us short (and 3 out of 5 applications were updated also)
    Its possible only will get one Mac App now (Garageband) and review iPhoto
    as the reviews do not seem great, iMovie would be the 3rd but we do not have a Video Camera
    and IDVD and iWeb are unchanged
    To make a lon post short can You Purchase and Share X 1 (or is it related to the Cloud?) perhaps their is where
    I read it (I have a ipod Touch 2nd Generation and will not update to iOS5 (4.2.1 max) and G-Band on a Ipod Touch
    would need extra peripehrals and iPad would be cool (but I am short $500.00 ha)

  • New User question re BlackBerry Link and Z10 -- can you really reach the computer from the Z10 remotely - how remote?

    I am slowly getting there re use and exploring this and that.  Now, I want to know can I really reach my laptop which has BlackBerry Link on it, and my Z10 has all been set up to it, etc., remotely?  I know it can within the same household network, but what about from another network?  Surely it can't do that.  Sorry about the dumb question.
    I have unclicked  the connection for the time being as I don't want to lose the phone and have someone grabbing my computer stuff!

    Hi janetnewuser,
    Any BlackBerry smartphone accessing your computer would be required to be using the same BlackBerry ID you are signed into BlackBerry Link with. You can access files over any Wi-Fi or the mobile network. Your PC must be powered on with BlackBerry Link running for you to access files on it.
    This article should provide more information on the security of this feature. "About the security for the BlackBerry Remote File Access feature in BlackBerry Link" http://blackberry.com/btsc/KB34573

  • Can you really update two tables in one SQL statement

    Ok a post in the forum has got me awefully curious:
    Can you update two tables in one update statement i.e something like this
    update table a , b
    set b.<column> = something
    a.<column> = something
    Something to this effect.
    If you are curious to know what post I am talking about it is called "updating a single row"

    No. You can only update one table in one SQL statement.
