ATV2 don't support NAS iTunes library

I'm using iOmega Home Network Cloud Edition.
This network HD supports following feature;
Built in Audio Video Media Server: UPnP™ DLNA Certified®: Provides the ability to stream photos, audio content and videos to a variety of media devices, such as game consoles (Microsoft Xbox® 360, Sony PlayStation® 3), audio bridges, iTunes™ players, picture frames, Iomega ScreenPlay products and more.
Create shared iTunes™ libraries to provide a central location for your music.
But I don't see this library Directly from the Network HD(NHD), even though it supports iTunes library
I have to connect this NHD to iTunes in my PC and turn on the home sharing in both PC and ATV2 to watch videos in NHD.
I bought NHD that supports iTunes library to play through ATV2 without turning my PC on.
This is waste of electricity.
Go Green Apple~!!
Save the Earth~!!
Tell iOmega how to put apple homesharing on thier NHD or Enable to find shared iTunes libraries in the network.

If the device claimed to be an Itunes server or work with the Apple TV or any iOS device for that matter, then you have clear grounds to ask for a full refund. If not then you could still ask for your money back but perhaps make a mental note to read the label first.

Why my mac air don't support the dock library version 1.0, if this needs the system mac os x 10.5 or higher, and my is os x 10.7.5?

Why my mac air don't support the dock library version 1.0, if this needs the system mac os x 10.5 or higher, and my is os x 10.7.5?

For Snow Leopard you require version 2.1.4. However AFAIK you can't buy this from Apple any more: the current version requires Lion 10.7.5 at minimum.
Amazon are offering v.2.1.1 in the UK - this is not compatible with Snow Leopard either but you should be able to apply an upgrade to 2.1.4. -
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL913
I can't guarantee this will work. You may be able to get advice in the Aperture forum.
Your only other alternative is to upgrade your Mac to Lion 10.7.5 if it us compatible, and buy the current version.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.

Can Atv1 and Atv2 sync with the same itunes library?

I have imac running snow leopard.It was working perfectly well wit my Atv1. I decided to buy Atv2 for airplay function. Since I installed Atv2 icannot find my Atv1. What is more after resetting my Atv1 I cannot find it under 'Devices' in Itunes. It connects to the internet and my network. I can login to the itunes shop and download and watch movies etc. But I cannot register it with my itunes library and imac. Atv1 annAtv2 with same itunes library is it possible or is it uncompatible.?

Quite possible.
You may need to disconnect the 'connection' and reconnect on AppleTV1 in Settings>Computers.
If a sync (content in My Music not My Shared Music etc) connection AppleTV will be wiped clean of media in preparation for a new sync library.
There may be other factors at play (securtiy software, firewalls, corrupt iTunes/other software installation).
Also worth restarting router, computer, itunes and AppleTV.

Don't want ENTIRE iTunes library on Apple TV 2

I don't want my entire iTunes library available in the living room on my Apple TV, so in iTunes > Preferences > Sharing I selected "Share selected playlists" and checked the 8 or 10 playlists I do want to share. However, the Apple TV is not recognizing that! How can I make this work?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
~ Steve W.

Well, this worked, but it's inconvenient and not fully effective.
By inconvenient I mean if I want the rest of the family to be able to listen to iTunes on the Apple TV (with the new user account I created for that purpose) it means I can't use my desktop computer in my own user account, because only one account can be open at a time.
And by not fully effective I mean that even though the new user account on the Apple TV sees only the music that I've put into that library, the user STILL has access to every TV show I've ever purchased (or downloaded free) because they were bought with the same Apple ID. Grrrrrr.
But if I create a separate Apple ID for the new computer user account, I assume it will not let that account have access to (share) ANY of my iTunes purchases, music and all?
This is frustrating enough that I'm almost tempted to return the Apple TV to the store before its two-week refund period is up.
Any thoughts on this?

My iTunes won't sync my tones (ringtones) to my iPhone 4. Every time I check "sync tones" my iTunes library says that my iPhone is connected to another iTunes library, but I don't have another iTunes library. What do I do?

My itunes won't sync my tones (ringtones) to my iphone 4. every time i check sync tones my itunes library says that my iphone is connected to a different itunes library but i do not have another itunes library. what do i do?

Hi HB3207!
I have a couple of suggestions for you to attempt to resolve this issue. First, I would try re-creating your iTunes library following the instructions listed here:
iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
You may also need to simply try restarting your phone and attempting to sync again after a restart. Information on completing this can be found here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

I'm probably being really stupid here, but I don't want my itunes library on my PC to sync/match exactly with my ipod touch, as it's only an 8gb one and I haven't got room on it for everything in my itunes library. I want to simply move stuff on and off

I'm probably being really dumb, but I can't work out how to remove music/vids etc from my ipod but retain them in my itunes library on my PC . I haven't got room for everything on my 8gb ipod touch. I just want to put stuff on there when I want to watch/listen to it. If it get's full I want to just take it off but put it back on at a later date. My ipod touch is new - I had an older generation ipod before and didn't have a problem with this. Is it because I have signed up to icloud or something? If so, how can I change it?

You can manually manage or you can sync by playlist/artist/album/genre/checked songs.
Maybe you should read the manual:

Why don't all my iTunes Library songs show up in my music folder

I have a lot of music in iTunes (16,000 plus songs) and they are stored on a LaCie external hard drive. Just recently I discovered that when I click on the file folder where all the music is stored, only files starting with A through B are listed. I can play anything in iTunes ~ nothing is missing, but the list of music when looking at the file with Windows Explorer is incomplete.
The reason this is of concern is because I am trying to back-up my music to DVDs (just for safe keeping in case of a hard drive crash). I have tried to do this several different ways, but nothing has worked. I suspect that it has something to do with the fact that maybe the directory of this large folder holding all my music files is incomplete or corrupted. If I run the Windows Back-up program on the folder, it acts as if only the A - B files are there and only creates a back-up of them. I know the rest exists because I can play them from iTunes. We are talking over 55 gigs of files that are not listed.
I am trying to back-up my library, but I think there is an underlying problem that is causing whatever method I try to fail. Is there anyone out there who can explain what is going on?
My question is two fold:
Why doesn't the list of songs in iTunes match the contents of my music folder?
How can I creat backup DVD's of 60 gigs of music?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Is that not a way to relocate the files? In other words, I have 16,000 plus songs in iTunes and they are all playable. They must be on my external hard drive in the file I have named "Art's Music" (verified by the check you suggested in your first reply). Let's assume that I want to put them all on a different external hard drive (my C drive is not big enough). What steps should I use to relocate my entire library? The plan I had in mind was something I found at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301748
Is this going to work?
I am going to borrow a friend's unused hard drive for this and then put it back on my hard drve after I reformat it.

How do I start iTunes with whichever iTunes library I want?

How do I start iTunes with whichever iTunes library I want?
I've created a 2nd iTunes library using the "press shift-key while opening iTunes from the start menu" method given in iTunes help. Now, when I try to start iTunes from the Quick Launch menu or from the system start menu, I get the new library--without choosing it.
Otherwise, the new library works as I'd hoped. By turning off "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library," I'm able to use "Add Folder to Library" (where the folders are in the 1st iTunes library) without using more disk space for the 2nd library. So far, it works just fine for CDs and movies. I'm anticipating an iPad which can hold much less than my iPod Classic.
I have the latest iTunes (10.2.1.1)

A solution found!
I found where Apple addresses the question. Actually, I had tried this before I found Apple's answer and before I asked the question here and I didn't get it to work. I finally have it working, but the Apple answer is missing a step--or so it seems.
Locating Apple's answer:
From the iTunes window,
Help > More resources > iTunes Support Website > iTunes Library and Backup > iTunes Library >
How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one.
Apple quote:
1.If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
2.If you are using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu and choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
3.If you are using the Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
4.You should see one of the following screens:
End quote.
As it says, you get a prompt to: Quit or Choose Library or Create Library.
I created my new library by choosing "Create Library" and expected to be able to use "Choose Library" later. So, when I clicked "Choose Library," I got a new window that's titled "Open iTunes Library" (it looks a lot like a Windows Explorer window). I selected (on the sidebar) the old library, clicked "Open" and nothing happened. The problem is likely my inexperience with this type of issue, but, still, the solution seems hokey.
After too much screwing around and a 24oz beer, this is what's working:
1. If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
2. Hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu, choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes. (You don't have to have the shift key down until just before you click the last "iTunes.") Don't release the shift key 'til the prompt comes up.
3. The prompt is: Quit or Choose Library or Create Library. Click "Choose Library."
4. When the "Open iTunes Library" window comes up, click the desired iTunes library on the sidebar. (Mine are named "iTunes" and "iTunesIPad.")
5. Then, you'll see a list of items in the right pane. Find the file named "iTunes Library.itl" and click it.
6. Now, with both the iTunes library name selected on the sidebar and the "iTunes Library.itl" file selected in the right pane, click the "Open" button.
7. iTunes will come up using the desired library.
8. Using iTunes from the Quick Launch menu or the desktop will bring up the same iTunes library again, even if you shut down your computer.
9. When you want to change the iTunes library in use, start at step 1.
Nice about this, is that I would only have to get into the "iTunesIPad" library if I need to add something to it from my regular "iTunes" library or I want to sync to the iPad. Most of the time, I'll use my regular 185GB "iTunes" library (even here, I deselect many movies so that I can sync the library to my iPod).
Caution:
I must add the warning that I'm doing this because the iPad (that I don't have yet), won't hold even half of what I have in my iTunes library. At this point, the "iTunesIPad" library will take up very minimal disk space since it's using pointers to the regular library rather than copies from the regular library AND it's easy to switch between libraries only when needed. I can't say that this will all work until I try more setup work and I actually use it with an iPad. If someone knows that this is going to cause problems or if they have a better idea, I'd sure welcome comment. BTW, before trying this, I restructured my iTunes library (File > Library > Organize Library > Reorganize files in the folder "iTunes Media.") to bring it up to date and then backed it up on an external drive. The website "iLounge" has an article about the old and new library structure.

Moved iTunes Library to External - Now What?

Moved my iTunes Library to an external hard drive, following the steps provided by the Apple Support.
Everything works fine, but now I want to delete my iTunes Library from my internal hard drive to make more room (approximately 60 gb).
Step 13 has the following:
After the folder has been copied, locate your original iTunes Music folder, and drag it to the Trash or Recycle Bin. Note: Don't remove the iTunes library files that may be in the same location as the iTunes Music folder. For more information about the iTunes library files, see this article.
Went to the Finder / Music / iTunes /:
Found sub folders of: Album Artwork, iPod Games, iTunes Music, Mobile Applications
The iTunes Music Library.xml is also under itunes (apparently not suppose to delete this one per the article).
Question is which one it the Original iTunes Folder I'm suppose to delete? If someone can tell me where to locate it on the finder, that would be great.
None of the folders is showing anything near the size of 60 gb.
So far I only noticed an increase on my internal hard drive of 5 gb gained.
Sorry if this subject has been addressed before. I promise I did do a search on both google and the forum.
Thanks for you help!
Alan

Of course after I post the question, I find the answer...Thanks

Transferring Itunes library to external HD EMPTY library

I was following these exact instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364 but when the itunes library was completely consolidated I went back and deleted my Entire MUSIC folder in my computer. I verified that everything was copied correctly and went back and deleted my entire Music folder. Now i have no Itunes library. I followed everthing except the last note "Note: Don't remove the iTunes library files that may be in the same location as the iTunes Music folder. For more information about the iTunes library files" I did delete the files but then i went back and restored it and it dosent work. PLEASE HELP.

I went back and deleted my Entire MUSIC folder in my computer.
Why?
No where does it say to delete your entire Music folder.
File -> Add folder to library and select the top level folder where your music is.

Using relocated itunes library

I recently added a second internal to my Power Mac G5. To free up space on my original (boot drive), i moved my 128 GB itunes library to the new hard drive. Generally, i followed the instructions in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449 with one exception. The article says:
"After the folder has been copied, locate your original iTunes Music folder, and drag it to the Trash or Recycle Bin. Note: Don't remove the iTunes library files that may be in the same location as the iTunes Music folder. For more information about the iTunes library files".
I screwed up the part about not moving the itunes library files. They are on my second drive but i removed them from their original location. Now when i try to play songs i have go and locate each music file before it will play.
Does any one know how to undo what i did before i goof up any more?
Thanks in advance.

It sounds like what you did was move the music, index the library, then move the library database to the new drive, breaking the index.
Simply moving those files back to their original location should resolve this. Unless there is something I'm missing.

On my Mac pro I cannot see my iTunes library in my slideshow as a music selection

I cannot see my iTunes library in iPhoto to add music to a slideshow

Hi Mary3400,
I'm not sure which version of iPhoto you are using, but see if the troubleshooting in this article helps.

The top section explains how to, the second section is for if you don't see your iTunes library as a source.

Sharing two or more iTunes library

Hello,
I have just bought an Apple TV2, but I have all my films in an external hard drive.
I have created a new iTunes Library on the external drive, and I tried to make a second shared library (my Mac and now the external hard drive). How can I see both libraries in the Apple TV, so I can have the music and all videos and films?
Is it possible to share more than one iTunes library in the same Apple account?
How can I solve my problem? Put all the iTunes stuff in the new library (external drive)?
If its the only way, how can I export the actual mac iTunes Library, to the external drive?
Best regards
Tiago B

You can only view one iTunes library at a time on Apple TV. So moving all your iTunes files to one library would enable you to view all your music, videos, and films.
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/easiest-move-itunes-library-external-drive/
To move your collections to another location, open iTunes “Preferences”. Use the menu “Edit – Preferences” (Windows) or “iTunes – Preferences” (Mac). You can also use the shortcut key combination: “Ctrl + Comma” (Windows) or “Command + Comma” (Mac).
Go to the “Advanced” tab and click the “Change” button for “iTunes Media folder location“. While you are at it, check the “Keep iTunes Media folder organized” and “Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library” boxes.
Browse to the new location where you want to put your collection. Create a new folder if you have to.
After you click “Create“, iTunes will update the library.
Now you have assigned a new location to store your collection, but the multimedia files are still in the old location. To move them to the new location, you have to consolidate them. Go to “File – Library – Organize Library” menu (similar under both Windows and Mac).
Check the “Consolidate files” box and click “OK“. If you’ve organized your files in the iTunes Music folder before, the second box will be greyed out.
Then the waiting game will begin – iTunes will copy all the files inside the iTunes Music folder to the new location. The process could take a while depending on how large your collection is.
Now that your collection is safely stored in the external hard drive (or another location that you chose), you can delete (some of) the files at the old location to free up some space in your hard drive. You can keep your favorite songs/movies so you still can play them even without the external drive.
Another point to remember: Even though the multimedia files are in the external drive, iTunes stores the information about them in the iTunes Library file in your local hard drive. So don’t delete the iTunes Library file.
What Will Happen Now?
With a larger empty space in your laptop’s internal hard drive, you are convinced that moving your multimedia collection out was a good idea. But you also realize that bringing an external hard drive everywhere you go is a bit impractical. The question is, what will happen if you open iTunes on your laptop while the external drive is unplugged?You will get this error message every time you want to play a file that doesn’t exist in the local hard drive. Then an exclamation mark will appear next to the item.If you still keep the items that you want to play inside the local drive, click “Locate“, browse to the location, and you can play them without any problem. If not, click “Cancel“. You don’t have to do anything because this issue will be automatically resolved the next time you plug in the hard drive. If you add new music or movies during the unplugged period, you can always consolidate those files to the external storage later.Another possible path to take is to create another iTunes library for your local multimedia files. You can do this by holding the “Alt” button when you open iTunes, You will have the option to create a new library.
Give a specific name to the library so that you can easily tell the difference between the one that points to the local files and the one that points to files stored in the external drive.
Pressing “Alt” while opening iTunes will also let you switch between iTunes Libraries easily.

Can't see my iTunes library when selecting background music for a slideshow

I don't see my iTunes library when I'm selecting background music for a slideshow -- I have tried using iphoto help (seee below) and it didn't work:
"If you don't see your iTunes library:
Quit both iTunes and iPhoto. Relaunch iTunes first, then iPhoto.
If you recently installed iLife software, it's a good idea to open each application in the following order: iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, and then iDVD. Because these applications are integrated to browse and import files from each other's media libraries, this ensures that you will be viewing the most up-to-date versions of your music library, photo library, and movies folder no matter what application you're using.
Recreate your iTunes Music Library.xml file. Quit iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, and iTunes. Click the Finder icon in the Dock, and choose Go > Go to Folder. Type "~/Music/iTunes" or "~/Documents/iTunes" and click Go. Drag the "iTunes Music Library.xml" file to your desktop. Open iTunes and create a new playlist by choosing File > New Playlist. Quit iTunes and open iPhoto to make sure you can see your iTunes library when creating a slideshow."
Any suggestions?

MacBook1,1 Mac OS X (10.4.8) versions: itunes 7.0.2 (15) iphoto 6.0.5 (316)

I have this problem also - tried following advice giving from original problem.
My settings are through the what I call the Lug Nut icon - no arrows and no dimple showing on my screen.
Is there some small thing I'm missing here - weird thing is that iDVD allows me to access my iTunes library - no problem.
When I go to Finder it tells it can't find my Music folder??? I can see it in the sidebar .....
Any suggestions - I don't know how to send those screen shots but what a great idea.
