Can I use Apple TV as my sole iTunes library?

I want to sync and copy my iTunes library from my computer to the Apple TV and then delete it from my computer. Then continue to use Itunes only from the apple TV, is this possible or is there any problem with doing this?

No.
AppleTV can only hold a copy of what is in an iTunes library.
It doesn't run iTunes itself and can't share it's content with iTunes on computers.
or is there any problem with doing this?
Lots.
AppleTV syncs are one way from iTunes. You can't get media off it again without unauthorised hacks or dismantling.
It's not a backup.
It's not an iTunes server.
If you delete your content from iTunes, then next sync it'll all wipe from AppleTV.
In theory you could sync stuff to AppleTV and just use it alone without iTunes but you'd have to not start itunes or risk deletion, and you migt have occasional authorisation issues with protected media.
If you're short of drive space consider an external for the computer.

    How can I use mp4 audio files from my iTunes library in an Elements 10 slide show?

    AAC is Advanced Audio Coding.  Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD).  More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder).  Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
    You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button.  Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder.  After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version."  You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding.  Hopefully your phone will play that.

  • How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book?

    How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book? Everytime I write an email on the Apple mail app (as well as in Gmail) it recommends a bunch of emails that are not my contacts. I want it to just autofill for the contacts that I have in my address book. Is this possible? Thank you. I have an Imac Intel version and an Iphone 5 phone.

  • I have an apple id but ı can not use it for sign in to itunes connect account while publishing my ibook document. Why ı can not login? What can ı do to figure out this problem?

    As note already on the iBA forum [ AppleID for ibooks publishing ], you need two IDs. You can't use your developer ID.
    If you already signed up for books with that ID, you need to talk to Apple to straighten things out.

  • Can i use apple tv in kuwait?

    can i use apple tv in kuwait?

    Does Apple have an iTunes Store accessible in Kuwait?
    If so does it allow movie/tv show purchase/rentals?
    If AppleTV is not for sale officially in Kuwait then Apple may not have negotiated the rights deals to rent movies etc across the internet with an AppleTV2 so you might be limited to what it will offer.
    Any compatible video in your iTunes library should play across the local network to AppleTV even if you don't get the Movie/TV Show rental options there.  (I only get movie rentals in UK - US always gets more options and earlier).
    Netflix is unlikely to be available in Kuwait.  Not sure how it would work if you were a US citizen living in Kuwait with a US account - you may get the US options, but companies  can block access to services from certain geographical locations.

  • Can I use Apple Tv in not supported country?

    Can I use Apple Tv in not supported country for AirPlay?
    I would like to buy apple tv from amazon but I'm not sure can I use it in country where I live which is not supported. Is there any way that I can use it, I would like to buy it because of AirPlay? I don't really care about anything else than AirPlay.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV will work anywhere, but not all services are available everywhere.

  • Can you use Apple TV to run Ap Players on your TV

    I use the comcast xfinity player and the ABC player on my  to watch on-line content.  I also access their respective web site directly from the Mac desktop to watch contents on-line as I cant run them through on my HDMI cabapable TV as my PS3 has an incompatable operating system with the flash player to view those applications or web content on-line,
    Can I use Apple TV to run either the Aps through my TV or to directly access content from on-line sites?  (and yes, I know I can hook my mac to my tv directly via an HDMI cable, but it wont work with my stereo system and the audio is substandard)

    No, the copyright holders have too many restrictions on how you are allowed to distribut content.  So you can not stream copyrighted content over AirPlay, and ATV does not support flash.   You can only watch content on ATV that there is an app for on ATV.  i.e Netflix, Hulu, MBA, etc. etc. etc.  Sorry.

    No, Apple TV connects directly to your TV. It's as simple as connecting via HDMI and then following the on scren instructions. It will find your networks but you will need to enter your password when setting it up.

    but some people say that airparrot can though it does not rely on the gpu for realtime encoding so performance would be worse
    with the next version of osx you are suppose to be able to do what you ask though

    THE use of the apple support is a mess also.
    I want to be able to use my MAC fully and easily like I used to with Snow Leopard. 
    What is wrong with this maverick OS?

    The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
    You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...
