Can i view movies and pictures stored ona Time Capsule using Apple TV

Can I view movies and pictures and listen to music that have been stored on a Time Capsule using my Apple TV?

If you have a Jail Break ATV yes.. if not, no.. as ATV is linked to iTunes.

  • Can Apple TV access movies that are stored in Time Capsule?

    Can Apple TV access movies that are stored in Time Capsule?

    The Apple TV looks for iTunes, which is likely on your computer.
    I know of no way to "tell" the Apple TV to look for anything. It is pre-programmed to look for iTunes, iPhoto, etc.

  • Can my computer play movies and videos transferred to time capsule

    can my computer play movies and videos transferred to time capsule

    I use InFuse, an iPhone, iPad, App.
    It can play the video on the iPhone or iPad.
    I use it to play on the TV using AirPlay and AppleTV.
    It does transcoding where needed. It uses screen mirroring for native formats such as mp4.
    It can look up the movie and TV series database for information, plot description, rating, cover art etc.
    For playing on the Mac just open the file in Quicktime.

  • HT201250 Can one view pics from iPhoto application in time capsule backup?

    I am attempting to use my time capsule as a general backup disk for all my pics and movies in iPhoto, to then be able to erase all pics from my iMac.  Can one view iPhoto pics from the backup time capsule?

    You cannot "see" the images in your iPhoto Library on the Time Capsule. You can only restore the complete library.
    If you erase the iPhoto Library from your Mac, then iPhoto will not be able to find the iPhoto Library on the Time Capsule
    Do NOT ever erase the images from your Mac.
    If you do this, the only version that you will have will be on the Time Capsule. What will happen to your images when....not if....the Time Capsule has a problem?
    In addition, Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. If you delete the iPhoto Library from your Mac, then Time Machine will delete the backup....and you will not know when this will occur.

  • Why can't I open IPhoto library stored on Time Capsule?

    Our old iMac G5 was struggling with the 27k of photos on it and couldn't accept a software update, so I have bought a 2T Time Capsule and a MacBook, in the hope that I could copy my music and photos onto the Time Capsule and use the MacBook just to access and use the data.
    I've dragged and dropped the music from the G5 to the TC and can get at that ok with the MacBook, and when I dragged the iPhoto library over it took ages, which was reassuring given the amount of data. However, when I try to look at the iPhoto library on the TC, while iPhoto on the MacBook can see all of the events, folders, numbers of images etc, when I actually want to look at a photo, all I get it a black screen with a grey triangle and an exclamation mark.
    I've done the 'show package contents' thing, and all the photos are on the TC, and I can see them in Preview.
    I've checked the TC formatting and it is MacOS Extended (case sensitive, journaled).
    Possible issues:
    - is it a problem that the TC is also set up to do backups?
    - is it a problem that the MacBook is set up with two users?
    Not sure what else the problem might even be...
    Help me please, otherwise I'll have to pay someone to come and sort it out and feel like I've totally failed...
    Thanks!

    Your iPhoto Library is very likely corrupted.
    This is an iPhoto issue, so you need to post in the iPhoto support area to let the experts over there offer some suggestions to see if the library can be rebuilt. The link to the iPhoto support area is here:
    iPhoto
    The experts over there will likely also explain to you why you should never try to use the Time Capsule to store your "working" library with iPhoto.
    The bottom line is that access to the library on the Time Capsule is very slow, and if there is any break in communications between the iPhoto application and the library....something that would easily occur using wireless.....this can corrupt the entire library.
    You may be asked to trash the current library and use your backup to rebuild things.
    In the future, you really want to place the iPhoto library on a USB drive or FireWire drive that is directly connected to your Mac. Access to the library is fast this way and this setup will work well.  Time Machine will also backup the attached hard drive to your Time Capsule so you will have backups of both the Mac and the hard drive.
    I'll let the iPhoto experts take it from here. Hopefully Terrence Devlin will answer your question, but you might be prepared for a bit of a lecture in the process.
    Good luck on trying to rescue the library.

  • How do i store my movies and music onto the time-capsule

    i can connect to my other computers threw any computer in my house but i can't connect to the time capsule its self, or store stuff on it. help please.

    You need SMB compatible names.. for both TC and if you use wireless then wireless.. short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
    Go to the disk file sharing page.. turn on guest account.. read and write access.
    Give it the right workgroup .. usually WORKGROUP
    Load bonjour for windows onto the windows machine.. that should be included with the airport utility for windows.

  • TS3972 How can I access the files(movies,music,etc) in my Apple Time Capsule(4th Gen) from my Apple TV(3rd Gen). This is very frustrating Apple has not provided a basic feature, and me buying the Time Capsule and Apple TV is an complete waste of bucks.

    I have an Apple TV (3rd Gen) and Apple Time Capsule (4th Gen). How can I access Movies and Music stored in the Time Capsule from Apple TV. This is very  n't give frustrating that Apple doesn't give their customers with an straight forward access to their customers in between their own products. Iam repenting that buying these products is completely waste of bucks. Appreciate your help...

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The Time Capsule is clearly announced as a router with a hard drive to make backups, not to store anything and share it with your Apple TV.
    To access to movies and music from the Time Capsule, note that the Apple TV can only access to them if they are stored in your iTunes library, so you will have to put your movies and music into iTunes to access to them, and then, put your iTunes library on the Time Capsule in order to access to your data from there

    Hello, eco1. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    This sounds like you are wanting to move your iTunes media folder to an external drive and have iTunes this folder from this location.  If this is the case then I would recommend taking a look at the article below.

  • Why is the quality of movies and pictures exported to the external hard drive lowered?

    Why is the quality of movies and pictures exported to the external hard drive lowered?

    Are you speaking of manually moving these files, or using an application to export?
    When you use the the term "export", it usually entails an application performing some kind of file conversion, rather than a simple transfer. It is during conversion to another file format that information may be lost through lossy compression, or by settings of the export.
    Anytime you convert a file to another format, there will usually be some loss or degradation. Tghis can't be helped, as one format may not support every information characteristic the original one did.

    I have a iPad2 you tell me how to view movies and games to use facebook.
    Thanks and best regards,

    Hi Luigi,
    well, your Question is not very concrete.
    you can watch Film with Itunes. You can rent or buy there Movies.
    You also can sync movies from your mac to the Ipad - just add them to the Mediathek and sync the Folder/File. Quick Time give you the Function - put these open Video File to Itunes. You also have the possibilty in imvoie. 
    With Facebook games, i cant help help you - i dont like Facebook, and i dont use this service. But when these games are Flash Games you arenot able to use them with you Ipad, because ipad have not Flash support.
