Can I use my 500gb time machine to my movies and view them on apple tv3

Is it possible to load my movies onto my 500gb time machine and view them using my apple tv3 via AirPlay?

Me again.  I'm pretty sure I found a solution to my problem.  I had changed the order of my slides more than once, and it turned out that the "wrong" sequence that Apple TV was using for my slides was the original sequence, not the latest sequence.  I found that when I deleted the Apple TV Photo Cache folder and database, it got rebuilt by iTunes and the slide sequence was correct.  I have no reason why the order did not automatically get updated.  I'm on the rails now!

  • Can i use time capsule to backup movies and see them wireless without redirecting my itunes library to the time capsule?

    can i use time capsule to backup movies and see them wireless without redirecting my itunes library to the time capsule?

    It seems the ability to restore from backup discs was removed along with the ability to create them. You will need to temporarily install an older version of iTunes (e.g. 10.3) to recover the media from those discs.
    See Win 7 OS,64 Bit..Going back to ver 10.3 as I wish to use the cdbackup/restore version..I for a previous thread discussing this.

  • How do I best integrate existing laptops for a new server?  Can I use the existing home folders on the laptops and make them into Network Users?

    How do I best integrate existing laptops for a new server?  Can I use the existing home folders on the laptops and make them into Network Users?

    Yes it will work.  I've done it for a few users in my small office.  As with anything, there are quirks that you may or may not experience.  Most quirks are app-related, due to app developers hard-coding absolute paths into their apps for things like temp files (Photoshop).  Strategies for resolving these sorts of quirks can be found via google.  You would probably have seen these quirks already when using server-based home folders for your kids.  If you haven't noticed them, then you're probably fine.
    The tech note you cited should be fine.  It doesn't explicitly say so, but you'll need to enable ssh on your server, at least temporarily, so you can upload your home folder to the server using scp, rsync, etc.  Don't try to copy the files up to the server via Finder.
    Once all your files are transferred to the server and in the right place, make sure to chown them on the server, so they are owned by the userID you created for yourself on the server.
    As with anything this involved, make a good backup of your laptop first.
    Note I have one user that isn't too happy with the responsiveness of the periodic mobile home syncing.  She has about a decade of e-mail in her home folder, probably 50 to 100 emails per day, many with attachments.  Mobile home syncing takes a long time to check and sync this huge tree of itty-bitty files, eevn with server-side file tracking turned on.  The other users are happy.
    The nice thing about mobile home syncing is that when a user "graduates" to an age where they've earned their own laptop, you can change them from a server home user to a mobile home user, with a minimum of fuss.  Also, if you lose or break a laptop, you can add a new replacement laptop to your network, and pull-down a replica of the home folder from the server, with almost no downtime.

  • Can I use iPod for time machine back up?

    I have several iPods that I don't use, and would like to use them as time machine back up drives, for multiple computers.
    They are 30gb iPod videos. I am aware they aren't as reliable as an actual external hard drive and that this much read/write can cause the iPod to burn out, but for these purposes I don't care.
    I have 300 computers that I want to restore to one master, as they are all used for the same purpose, but currently they all have OS 10.5.x of varying versions. I currently use a time machine backup on an external hard drive to restore the systems, but I have 15 iPod videos, and I would like to use 2-3 of them, to speed the process up.
    I use carbon copy cloner once I get a system restored, to restore the stations around it, but time machine is about 15% faster than using CCC, so I would like to use these iPods to increase my ability to restore these systems on a regular basis without having to buy external hard drives or enclosures to make external HDs.
    I have tried:
    Erasing the iPod in disk utility.
    -It will erase the volume as HFS+ (extended journaled) but it won't erase the main device as it shows in Disk utility, it consistently stays as Fat32.
    --Same idea if I recreate the partition. I tried GUID partition scheme, Apple Partition Map and Master boot record, but all produce the same result.
    I also selected the iPod and attempted a zero-out of the whole iPod using the security options in disk utility. The system still will not let me use it for time machine.
    Has anyone been able to use an iPod for backup? Are there any other techniques anyone can suggest to get this iPod to work?
    Thanks for your help.

    And to clarify, originally I made sure disk usage was enabled on the iPod.
    I have also tried dragging and dropping the contents of a time machine backup to the iPod, but it's still not seen as a backup volume. I suspect there are some hidden files that enable a volume as time machine capable. Any ideas on how to maybe copy the hidden files or any other methods that might work?

  • Time Capsule- Can i use it for Time Machine and store media files?

    Hi,
    I'm very new to Time Capsule (have a 1TB TC), but have been using Time Machine to back up my MacBook Pro onto an external HD for a while now.
    Here's my question. is it possible to use the Time Machine capabilities of Time Capsule while also using it to store music and picture files. Ideally I'd like to be able to have my iTunes and iPhoto library available on the Time Capsule. that way it could be centralized and readable from a few Macs in the house.
    Thanks!

    When you say the info on it won't be backed up. What do you mean "the info on it"? Do you just mean the mp3, AAC ...etc files aren't backed up because they live on the TC only?
    I just want to make sure cause I did the same thing but I want to make sure I wont lose all my music and photos.
    If the only place you have these music and photo files is on the TC HDD, then if the TC HDD fails, you lose all those files. Here's another option. TC has an archive feature. That means you can, via AirPort Utility -> Disks, use the Archive feature to clone the TC HDD onto a USB HDD attached to the USB port of TC. It's not like TM, making incremental backups. You have to manually archive it, but it is an alternative.
    My photos remain on my iMac internal HDD. That means they are backed up by TM onto the TC HDD. If my iMac internal HDD fails, I still have the TM backups. I also backup yearly photos to DVDs. Photos are irreplaceble, you know.

  • What can I use  instead of Time Machine

    I just upgraded my old 20' to a new 24" and of course it came with Leopard. However, I'm not too familiar with Time Machine, and I heard somewhere that TM tends to delete some old files from time to time.
    I used SuperDuper with Tiger. At the moment, I use mostly Ext. HD and only use my Int. HD to install and run Apps, but would like to keep a back up copy of my entire Int. HD. and some Apps. you can't just copy and paste.
    I'd like to have some suggestions.

    crossover wrote:
    1- Could I use TM to back up two different sources,ie., all the content on my Int. HD and the content in one of my Ext. HD.
    Yes. It will back up any external HD it can read (except the drive/partition used for TM) unless you specifically exclude it.
    2- So in order to use it as a destination drive, would I have to delete all the files or by the simple fact that I will be assigning as the destination drive using TM it will delete the files as is making the copies.
    TM will not delete other files on it's disk/partition. However, you should partition the disk before starting to use TM. TM works much better if it has it's own, exclusive partition. And if you ever have to (or want to) delete all your TM backups and start over, all you'd have to do is erase the partition. Also, it won't back up those files, since they're in the same partition as TM's backups.
    3- You all suggested to use another backup application in addition to TM. Should I the same destination Drive for TM and for Cloner back up?
    It doesn't make much difference, but I'd use a different drive; just in case there's a problem with one, you've got the other.
    You might also consider using a pair of portable drives for your CCC or SD clone. Use one daily for, say, a week; then swap it with the other, and take it to your safe deposit box, workplace, relative's house, etc.
    As great as externals are, they may not protect you from fire, flood, theft, or direct lightning strike on your power lines.

  • Can I configure wifi storage to store my PC photos and view them on my iPad?

    If

    Thanks for your thoughts. 
    Maybe I'm old-school, but I like the idea of a physical archive device that I can use with secured access.  There is so much info on everyone on the net.  The idea of having even more personal data in the cloud is not appealing. 
    I can load data from my PC on the drive, but it's not accessible on my iPad.  The same is true for viewing my uploaded photos from the iPad. They are not recognizable on my laptop.
    Any other suggestions?

  • Can I transfer a mkv video to my iTunes library and view it on Apple TV?

    AppGeeker video converter is awesome as well. It has built-in Apple TV preset option to convert MKV to view on a Apple TV, which will simplify the conversion.

  • Can I have two Time Capsules in the same network, use one as Time Machine and other to expand network?

    I need to purchase a divice to expand my Wi-fi network. I was looking at the AirPort Extreme, but a friend has a brand new Time Capsule for sale. So, for the same price of the AirPort Extreme, I´m getting the Time Capsule.
    I already own one and using it as Time Machine and wireless router. If I decide to purchase another TC would it have any conflict with the one that I already have?
    Is it possible to use one as Time Machine and wireless router and the other to just expand network and storage only (not as Time Machine)?

    No
    Is it possible to use one as Time Machine and wireless router and the other to just expand network and storage only (not as Time Machine)?
    Yes. The important thing to remember is that the "extending" Time Capsule must be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from your "main" Time Capsule.

  • Can I use my 2TB Time Capsule ONLY as an external hard drive for Time Machine backups?

    Hi...wondering if somebody could help me out there.
    I currently have an older Apple 2TB Time Capsule (previous generation) which I'm using as both my WiFi access point, as well as my Time Machine backup location for both my iMac and my MacBook Pro.
    We've been having slow WiFi issues in our home, and seeing as how this Time Capsule is a number of years old, were thinking of upgrading to the faster WiFi routers with 802.11ac capability.  I'll be honest when I say we were considering other options, beyond the newest Time Capsule.
    My question is, can we somehow use the 2TB of storage on our current Time Capsule for the purpose of backing up our computers with Time Machine, but NOT use the WiFi functionality of the Time Capsule itself? 
    I'm assuming if I manually plugged either my iMac or MacBook Pro (wired ethernet) into the Time Capsule, I could likely get that computer to recognize and use it for Time Machine purposes, but I'd like to use it to backup both computers, ideally wirelessly on the MacBook Pro.
    Any help would be great. 
    Right now I'm running a DSL line into a DSL modem, which then runs ethernet into my Time Capsule.  From there, I have a 4 port switch connected for wired devices (we wired our home with ethernet jacks in almost every room).  We also have an Airport Express to extend the range of the network.
    Thanks,
    Jason

    You can bridge the TC and plug it into whatever wireless router you buy.
    There is no need to turn off the wireless in the TC.. but you can set it up as a secondary wireless network. That is totally up to you. I find the Gen4 TC very fast on 5ghz.. but you need it to be close to the computers.. in your case that should be dead easy.. simply plug it in by ethernet in the same room as the iMac say.. and set it up with bridge and the imac plugged into it by ethernet.. one computer then can access the internet and backup via ethernet with huge speed improvements.. the laptop can then use whatever your new router wireless network.. or the TC one if it is close enough..
    So there are plenty of variations and your setup is easy to handle with the large amount of ethernet you have.
    Just post again if you need specifics.. but I need specifics to give them!!

  • I bought an external hard drive and now use it as time machine. I copied my photos to it. Can I now delete my iphotos?

    My photo library is full. I bought an external hard drive and am using it as time machine. I copied my photo library to the external hard drive and burned all of my pictures onto DVD's. If I delete my photos from my computer, will the photos still be on the external hard drive and saved in time machine? I am parinoid about losing my photos (memories).

    I think you mean Your Hard Disc is Full as opposed to iPhoto.

    With regard to your iPhoto Library... you can Move it to another External Drive and use it from there and then you can use TM to Backup that Drive as well as as your Mac.
    1)  Move iPhoto Library to External Drive
    See  >  iPhoto: How to move the Library to an EHD
    First... Make sure the EHD is Formatted Mac OS Extended (journaled)...
    Format, Erase, or Reformat a drive
    Quit iPhoto if open.
    Open your Pictures folder and select the iPhoto Library.
    Drag the iPhoto Library to the External Hard Drive.
    To Use iPhoto on an External Drive...
    Hold down the Option key on the keyboard and open iPhoto. Keep the Option key held down until you are prompted to create or choose an iPhoto Library.
    Click Choose Library.
    Locate and select the iPhoto Library in its new location.
    And also make sure that all is working to your Satisfaction before Deleting anything.
