With the newest Airport firmware (7.6.1), it seems I should be able to do this.
Really? I need to check that out!
You should certainly be able to add content by reference to itunes from such a disk (even before the update) - so long as itunes knows the location of the file (set Preferences not to copy to local library when adding the media) it will stream it to AppleTV if the disk is available.
I hope you're right, but I'd be surprised if current Extremes can be upgarded to provide a full Home Sharing service - marvellous if they can but I'd be surprised as i've long said we need an Apple media server either based on TC or AE to do this kind of thing.

How can you stop iTunes splitting up a cd in the music library
How can you stop iTunes splitting up a cd in the music library
Try highlighting the tracks in iTunes, right-clicking and Getting Info, then marking them as Part of a compilation.
If that doesn't take care of it, read Apple's document (where the pic came from) -> Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?

My iMac all of the sudden started going in and out of the dashboard, then started changing all files on the desktop to 2's. It also did this when having another window open. Do I have a virus?
There are no viruses that can affect Apple OS X.
What files do you keep on the Desktop? How many?
Performance tip: Keep the Desktop clutter-free (empty, if possible)
Mac OS X's Desktop is the de facto location for downloaded files, and for many users, in-progress works that will either be organized later or deleted altogether. The desktop can also be gluttonous, however, becoming a catch-all for files that linger indefinitely.
Unfortunately - aside from the effect of disarray it creates - keeping dozens or hundreds of files on the Desktop can significantly degrade performance. Not necessarily because the system is sluggish with regard to rendering the icons on the desktop and storing them in memory persistently (which may be true in some cases), but more likely because keeping an excessive number of items on the Desktop can cause the windowserver process to generate reams of logfiles, which obviously draws resources away from other system tasks. Each of your icons on your desktop is stored as a window in the window server, not as an alias. The more you have stored, the more strain it puts on the window server. Check your desktop for unnecessary icons and clear them out.
Keeping as few items as possible on the Desktop can prove a surprisingly effective performance boon. Even creating a single folder on your Desktop and placing all current and future clutter inside, then logging out and back in can provide an immediately noticeable speed boost, particularly for the Finder.
And it is why Apple invented 'Stacks' for Leopard.
Here is Apple's take on the subject:

When I turn on my Macbook Pro and sign in, the screen is blank, none of the icons appear, I can't click, open or do anything! Help!
You could try this; Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode.It takes awhile to come up so patience is a virtue here.

My ipad is stuck inbetween on and off. The screen is black with the white apple in the middle of the screen. It won't turn off and won't come completely on. Anyone know what is wrong?
See if this lets the iPad start up.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
my ipod got wet and allow time to dry, I turn now the musics and sound and everything but the screen is blank and nothing is visible. a solution please urgent.

I was updating my iPod touch 4g to the ios6 and it told me to hook it up to the iTunes and so I did. After doing that the computer told me to restore I tried and it didn't work. My ipod then was Turing on and off displaying the apple icon then my screen turned white with rainbow colors going down the screen then at some point my ipod had a multi colored blue screen. The screen was no longer blue after I let it die. Plz help I can't find any solutions.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
My i phone is buzzing and I can not turn it off. The screen is blank
My I phone is buzzing. The screen is blank . I can not turn it off
Try resetting it: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release. If it won't reset just let it discharge and stop on its own, the recharge it and see if it works again.

How can you tell iTunes 7 to ignore other music folders causing duplicates
I just built a new PC and my iTunes library is on a 250 gig disk along with many other folders with music (drum loops, systems sounds, sample content, etc) that I don't want showing up in my iTunes library. Many of the folders contain backups of various thumb drives so there are identical songs in multiple directories showing up as duplicates in iTunes.
Preferences shows my library in a single location.... anyone know how to restrict iTunes to only using this location ? I don't remember hitting an "import my entire hard disk" button, but I may have. I can rip out and re-install if needed, but I don't want iTunes to remember all thge other folders outside of it's home directory... did i miss something really simple ?
Help ! I have about 1000 duplicate songs, some with 3 or 4 copies that reside in the portable media backup directories !To do this, in iTunes go to Edit>Preferences>Advanced Tab>General Tab and then uncheck the "Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized" box.
That has nothing to do with iTunes looking for music on your computer.
Keep iTunes music folder organized will create a folder hierarchy of artist and album names that contains all relevant audio files with the correct track names and order.
When you run iTunes for the first time (only), it asks to search your computer for music.
After the first time, the ONLY music that will get added to iTunes is the music you add. iTunes does not add music based on what you put in folders. It does not "watch" to see if anything is added to a folder.
If you do not want music copied to the iTunes music folder when adding to library, (and you want the music in your own folders somewhere else), set it in the prefs. -
How can you transfer iTunes from an iPod to a computer?
I recently replaced the harddrive in my 12.1G4 and unfortunately also lost my back-up itunes file. How can I transfer the data from my iPod to the mother computer with the new harddrive? I have authorized the computer for my iTunes account, but itunes still shows the iPod is authorized to another computer.
I have authorized the computer for my iTunes account, but itunes still shows the iPod is authorized to another computer
iPods are not authorized or deauthorized.
It tells you it is synced with another iTunes library and asks what you want to do.
To copy the items off your iPod to iTunes, see this post by Zevoneer -> http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11646661� -
How can you get iTunes to recognize a PC as a PC (not an OS as a PC)?
I have three PC's and all three are dual-boot. Of course each PC can only be running one Operating System (OS) at any one time - regardless of how many may be available.
It is important to me to have my music (iTunes) available on each PC regardless of which OS I happen to be running. But I can't have my iTunes music on all three of my PCs with the 5 PC Authorization limit working incorrectly.
The limit of five PCs should work fine for me (since I have only three PCs) - except that iTunes erroneously considers an OS as a PC - not a PC as a PC.
So with three PCs each of which has (at least) two OSs iTunes does not allow me to authorize (and play my purchased music) on all three PCs - only two of them and sometimes on the third - depending on which OS I happen to use.
Another problem caused by counting an OS as a PC (instead of a PC as a PC) is that when an OS crashes and cannot be repaired - iTunes demands to Authorize it yet again before playing the (same) music.
When testrng a new OS reloads are sometimes required - even after running stable for some period - therefore it is easy to use up 3 of the 5 PC 'Authorizations' on one OS on one PC.
It would be so easy to fix these (manufactured) problems - just Authorize a PC as a PC - instead of an OS as a PC!
It should be easy to Authorize a PC as a PC by using a unique identifier such as the motherboard serial number as the PC ID. Although the MB may be changed that is far less likely than the constant upgrading and changing of the OS.
Right now I have an OS (Win 7) that will not start all the way. I fixed the Boot Record(s) and reloaded Boot Manager, but it stops after the first cursor and before the welcome screen. After spending a certain amount of time debugging and recovering all my data I would normally just re-write the drive, but I had already Authorized iTunes on it - just after using my (once yearly) clear of the five Auths. So I have to spend days and days trying to recover something I could rebuild in an hour - just because I need to save the iTunes Authorization. All the other software (including the OS and Office) will immediately re-Activate on the same PC. But not iTunes.
What is the work-around for this error of calling an OS a PC? and... How do I recover a previous Authorization on a PC when I have to rebuild an OS on that PC?Hi turingtest2 - thanks for the reply. As you say It is how it is - and I have three workstations in this home (not counting three for my children and one for the family) and I pretty much always have more than one OS on each - that's how it is for me. I shouldn't have to worry about how many OSs I have (or how often I change them) just to have music while I'm working - through the PC sound system that is. I never have to worry about any other software, only iTunes. Once in a while (in the past) I've made a vendor call if I changed to many things to often (like CPU, GPU, memory, etc - or even a replacement MB) - but that hasn't happened in a couple years (at least since Vista) so I think (hope) they have fixed that for good. And even then it was a quick call and problem resolved. The only (glaring) constant problem is iTunes - limiting my own use of my own music (by counting an OS as a physical PC). Even with VM (which is just another OS) - although you can Attach things to multiple active OSs - it's still your own (purchased) music - and all on one PC. Thanks again!

Hello.
I recently woke up this morning to use my iPod Touch (2nd Gen) to find that it was completely unresponsive to both buttons and would not turn on. I had been using it the night before and had not charged it. Thinking the battery was drained, I plugged it into a wall outlet for two hours, and still no sign of life on the iPod. Plugging it into the computer, it immediately showed up in iTunes and synced normally, and even indicated it had nearly a full charge. Still, however, the screen showed nothing. I checked the lock and home buttons to see if it was stuck, but it was not. Does anyone have an idea of what this is? Do I need to get my iPod repaired? Any help would be appreciated.
I am running iOS 4.1, and am out of warranty coverage.
Thanks,
- Justin1; Do a hard rest by holding the buttons at least 15 seconds. Does the Apple logo come on?
2. Hold the power button down for at least 5 seconds. Do you see the battery symbol?
If the answer is no to both questions, you most likely have a hardware issue--possible bad battery.

Installed two 2GB RAM cards to my Mac. Plugged it in, turned it on. You can hear it running. My keyboard isn't lighting up (Caps Lock) and the screen is black.
Assuming the RAM is to the exact spec required, try re-seating the RAM. When you think it is fully seated give it an extra shove with both thumbs - it only needs to be a fraction out for it not to work. If that fails to solve the problem, put the old RAM back in and test. If it works that narrows it down to the new RAM being the problem.
