Which AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) are you discussing? The new square 802.11b/g/n AEBS supports the direct connection of USB hard drives. The previous round 802.11b/g AEBS does not have that capability. I have a feeling that you are asking about the new one but this is the discussion area for the old one.
The new square 802.11b/g/n AEBS allows you to share files directly from the connected USB drive. It doesn't matter what the files are so you can store your iTunes library there and get access wirelessly.
The round 802.11b/g AEBS doesn't have this ability.

    I assume you have different iTunes collections on different PC's, or on different logins on the same PC?  If that's the case then just enable "Home Sharing" in each iTunes using the SAME iTunes username and password as you enabled home sharing on the Apple TV with. The account used for home sharing is NOT the same as the account used to access the iTunes store, so as long as you use the same account (pick one, doesn't matter which) then you should see both of yor iTunes libraries on the Apple TV. Note - each iTunes has ti be running in order for the Apple TV to see the library.
    Here's some details on how to do it:

    Hi,
        You may  try checking the help page for ldap configuration :
    https://<Appliance_IP>:215/wiki/index.php/Configuration:Services:LDAP
    ZFS Storage supports LDAP, NIS, AD as directory service.
    Hope Open Directory is also based on LDAP and may work in similar fashion.

    After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer.  We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

    Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the response. I tried that approach this evening and it didn't work for me. (Technically it worked for me, when I was hardwired into my base station, but would not work for me wirelessly, which is my main issue.)
    Again, using the approach you recommended works only if I have my ethernet cable attached to the LAN port so my computer is communicating directly to the base station through the hard wire. I am able to scan for my base station and make setting adjustments normally this way too.
    As soon as I disconnect from the LAN port and try to go wireless is where I run into problems. The Base Station's wireless network I created is available to choose in the top right corner of the monitor with all of the other available wireless devices/networks -- but the network I created does not have access to the internet. I am also unable to configure my Base Station wirelessly. When my Airport Utility tries to scan for the Base Station and Network, it cannot find any Apple Wireless Device. It's like the Wireless Network in my base station is not sending out a signal.
    Is there a way to resolve this issue?

  • How to add Ethernet ports to an Airport Extreme Base Station?

    I have successfully connected an HP Office Jet 6310 to the Airport Extreme Base Station, after downloading the latest software from HP. It is printing wirelessly, and it is great so far.
    The only problem is that the cable modem connected to ADSL has only one Ethernet port, and the Airport Extreme Base Station also has one Ethernet port. However, I need one more port to connect a phone (Vonage Telephone Adapter = VTA).
    What is the easiest way to achieve this? I saw several other messages discussing hubs and routers, but the answer is not clear yet. If I purchase an additional router, should it be connected between the cable modem and the Airport Extreme Base Station, or the other way round?
    Any help or advice would be appreciated!
    Thank you in advance for your time.

    One final vital piece of information, which should be my conclusion on this topic.
    Following the advice received, I purchased a Switch from Linksys. Since the device didn't work for my purpose (dividing the Ethernet connexion into an Ethernet line for the HP printer and the Vonage phone), I called the Linksys support.
    I was told that what I needed was not a switch, but a router. I thus had to get reimbursed for the switch and hunt for the proper router.
    Finally, today, I have been able to find the item corresponding to my needs:
    A Belkin Wireless G Router F5D7230-4
    It costs less than 50 US$ and has all the necessary Ethernet ports. The setup is very simple, and I got it operational within a couple of minutes, despite some small problems getting the setup Wizard to work. It is Mac OS X compatible.
    Thus, at the end, I have got the HP 6310 Office printer and the Vonage VTA phone working together, with a robust Wireless network including WPA security. I would recommend this type of setting.
    The only trouble is that the AirMac Extreme Base Station has become completely useless! I will perhaps keep it as a souvenir, or as a decoration in the living room... This wouldn't have happened if the creators of this nice object, which is extremely expensive for what it provides, would have thought of including at least two Ethernet ports!
    The unexpected reply to my query could thus be ironically formulated by saying: "replace the Airport Extreme Base Station with a cheaper an more efficient device." Sorry for that!
    With my best regards to those who took the trouble to read this thread to the end.

  • How can I share files/libraries between users?

    I have tried to enable file sharing between me and my hubby. I would like to share iTunes and iPhoto libraries but cannot. I don't want to have the same photos & CDs replicated just so we can have two different logins.
    How can I do this?

    Hi, Loker. Welcome to the Discussions.
    Mac OS X and other UNIX®-based systems, in general, are not set up to easily share data between users. A fundamental idea behind UNIX security is each user's data is theirs and theirs alone, and a user must take steps to share data on their accounts with other users, either on that computer or over a network. This is why, in Mac OS X, the Users > Shared folder exists: all users have Read & Write access to such, providing a "commons" for easily sharing documents between users on the same Mac. The Public folders in each account are extant for a similar reason.
    Simply changing the access privileges on the folders of a given user may provide access to the files within those folders, but does not change the access privileges on the individual files within such: you may be able to see the files, but not use them. This depends on the application. Additionally, applications often expect to find their specific content in a specific location, usually one owned by the user who created the content.
    ITunes and iPhoto have generally been designed as single-user applications. Despite Mac OS X being a multi-user operating system, Apple did not initially consider the idea of a "family" computer where a family would all share and update common music or photo libraries.
    Some of these issues have been addressed, albeit IMO somewhat inadequately, by adding content-sharing functions to recent versions of iTunes and iPhoto. This was primarily for sharing content over a local network, but these methods also work between users on the same Mac. You can find relevant information by searching the Help for iTunes and iPhoto. In iTunes, select Help > iTunes Help. In iPhoto, select Help > iPhoto Help.
    The downside of these approaches are the requirements they place on the account sharing its music or photos. Specifically, that account must be:
    1. Logged in, and...
    2. The specific application -- iTunes, iPhoto -- must be running to share its content.
    These functions also place limitations on what you can do with shared content, delineated in the "About" documents you will find in the Help related to sharing.
    More sophisticated methods for sharing iTunes music, iPhoto photos, iMovie projects, and other application-specific files between users on the same Mac are generallly found in magazine articles or by searching the Web. A good site to search is Mac OS X Hints. You can also search or post on the iTunes Discussion, iPhoto Discussion, etc. for additional ideas.
    Two useful magazine articles in praticular:
    • The June 2006 issue of MacWorld also had some suggestions on iPhoto sharing that could also be applied to iTunes. That article is currently online: see "One iPhoto, many users."
    • The article "Share Files and Apps with Multiple Users" by Fong and Willams in the August 2004 issue of MacAddict discussed techniques that generally involve the use of the Shared folder and UNIX symbolic links. You can order back issues of MacAddict by contacting their customer service office.
    Good luck!

  • HT3951 How can I share books and audio with another computer?

    How can I share books or audiobooks with another computer?

    You can't re-download audiobooks on any computer - they are currently a one-time only download. Music can be re-downloaded in some countries, they are listed on this page. But you should be able to copy your purchases from, for example, your backup and add them to the computer's iTunes via File > Add Folder To Library.

  • Can no longer configure modem in Airport Extreme Base Station

    We've been using our AEBS to connect to our ISP via its internal modem for several years. Recently, I needed to update some ISP information for the modem connection and did so successfully using Airport Admin Utility. Two days later, tried to change additional settings, but AAU no longer shows "Modem (v.90)" as a "connect using" option on the Internet page. In fact, all of the options are greyed out except Ethernet, PPP over Ethernet and Airport (WDS). What happened?
    I've reloaded and updated all of the Airport utilities, updated the AEBS firmware, power-cycled the AEBS . . . everything, but nothing fixed the problem.
    I've tried this from two systems running 10.3.9 and one running 10.4.7.
    I'm desperate. We live in the mountains of Colorado and until recently our only option for Internet access has been modem. Next week, however, we'll be installing a dish for access via an antenna on a nearby mountain. I'm concerned that I won't be able to reconfigure the AEBS for broadband. It's also possible that we'll still need to use the modem to connect to work, so I'd like to be able to switch AEBS configurations at will.
    I'll be most grateful for any suggestions offered.
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   also iMac G5 running 10.4.7 and a couple of laptops

    Not yet. Maybe I'll try that next. The problem is that the 1-second reset only changes the password, but the 5-second really hard reset will wipe out all the settings and return the AEBS to default settings. If I still can't get to the modem configuration in AAU, then I've just lost all ability to connect to the Internet. (The modem in my computer got fried during a really, really bad lightning storm - zapper came in through the phone line even though it was connected through a surge suppressor - such is life on the Frontier!)
    The modem in the AEBS is working because that's how I was connected to the Internet last night when I wrote the question, but I just can't configure it anymore.
    I'll can give the hard reset a whack, but it makes me anxious. I may do better to just wait until my broadband link is installed and then configure the base station for Ethernet. At least that option seems to still be available.
    Thanks for the response.

  • Chromecast and Apple Airport Extreme Base Station

    Hey guys,
    So I have a Chromecast and an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (newest AC one).  There is a setting on the base station called "Block incoming IPV6 Connection."  With it enabled, my Chromecast cannot connect to router and is thus un-useable.  Disabling it allows my Chromecast to work.  My first question is: if I keep that option disabled, will my network be vulnerable to outside access by unwanted person (moreso than with it enabled)?  And, does anyone know how to get it so that the "block incoming IPV6  connections" option can be enabled while still allowing Chromecast to connect?
    Thanks

    Solved my problem.  I had checked, in the Apple Preferences folder, internet share.  I unchecked it and everything performed like before.  Thanks, self.

  • How to disable the wireless section of Airport Extreme Base Station?

    Is it possible to disable the wireless section of Airport Extreme Base Station?
    It is because I do not want to have any high frequency radio signal which may be dangerous for small baby (no such proof for the moment, however).
    Anyone using the new Airport Extreme Base Station please check and help.
    Thanks!!

    I think you are a little too concerned. Just for the sake of how to, here it is.
    go to manual set up, airport, wireless, wireless mode, and then choose off.
    good luck.
