HT4352 Hi, my media is stored on a synology NAS, can Apple TV access the movie folder there?

Hi,
My media is stored on a synology NAS. I use a Samsung Smart tv and stream media content form the NAS to the tv. The annoying thing is I cannot rewind /forward movies, which seems an unsolvable problem. This is why I consider purchasing an Apple TV. My question now is, can Apple TV be linked with my NAS so that I can stream movies form there to the tv via the apple box?
Many thanks for your replies

no it don't support nas
it only support a computer running itunes with a shared itunes lib
that computer could store it's media on the nas but the appletv only see the computer

After iPhoto upgrade i can no longer access the photos stored on my external hard drive, after iPhoto upgrade i can no longer access the photos stored on my external hard drive

I was just about to order a photo book, using photos stored on an external hard drive. I organised the book and pressed 'buy'. IPhotos instructed me that I needed to upgrade and so I went on the ASpp store, bought the upgrade and installed as directed. I then used the iPhoto Library upgrader as directed.
After the iPhoto upgrade I can no longer access the photos stored on my external hard drive. I am able to access the photos stored on my internal hard drive - the remainder (including the photo album) seem to have vanished into thin air.
Any suggestions please?

What format is the external drive?

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.

You don't have iCloud set up? There would be a backup there if you enabled it.

I can see videos under the "Movie" section that I used to have on my iPhone and need to figure out where these are stored on my PC. Thanks

Hi Corey,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on your exact request. If you are trying to locate the actual movie files that you are seeing listed in iTunes, you may find the information in the following articles helpful:

How can I move my media files from USB-HD to NAS without having to copy the media files to iTunes Media folder?

I have iTunes on a Mac with the iTunes Media folder stored locally and the music on an external USB-HD. The music files are Not copied to iTunes Media folder when added to the library.
Now I want to move my files from USB-HD to a NAS without losing any information or settings. I want to do the similar to my iPhoto library. I do not want to consolidate my files to iTunes Media folder. The articles I’ve read only discuss how to do if the files are copied to iTunes Media folder when added to the library. Any tips or trix?

How are you achieving the above? What are your copy setting in preferences? If you are manually overriding the copy-to by holding down the option key while adding media then that won't apply when you import a playlist (as in importing the .xml). When you import a playlist like that you are essentially adding the files to the library again and it will obey the preferences setting since you can't option add them that way.
Correct on the .itl. Only iTunes itself can edit that file.
I think you need to review your basic wants/needs in doing all this. If your reason for not wanting to use the Media Folder settiing is because you do not want it to go on the internal drive, but you don't actually mind if it organizes it as long as it is on the NAS, change the Media Folder preferences setting to the NAS and let it consolidate to there. If you want to move the stuff but keep it organized in your own folder structure you may need to do it as I suggested initially. Once it is on the NAS and iTunes recognize the file locations you can do what you can only do if you manually manage music which is move it around in Finder afterward once it is on the drive and recognized to tweak location to your final wishes.

I have PR cs6 and my mac has recently upgraded itself from iPhoto where i imported all my photos and film from to "photos" now all of my current project is showing 'media offline' AAAAARGGGH!! now i can't see anything. the audio is fine but everything els

can anyone help me get all of my edited holiday video visible again? my mac upgraded itself from iPhoto where i keep my imported video and photos, to "photo" now all of my current project (and probably old ones as well! ) are showing media offline. how can i get this back seeing the clips on 'photo'?

When you open a project you need to point PPro to the new media location and relink

THAT is not good... I am Windows, but at least a Windows update gives ME the option of unchecking an update

Why can't I access the PDF files stored in my iBooks without connecting it to internet ?

Hi,
I have nearly 2000 PDF file documents which I have synchronized to iBooks from my DELL laptop.
All the PDF files are individually named as to make it easy for myself to search.
I took it outside in my show where i tried to access it, what I am seeing here is there are no documents appearing on my iBooks. I then connected it to my Mobile phone Internet where I could now see all the 2000 PDF files.
My question here is , if all these files are on the hard drive of my iPad, why do I have to always connect it to the internet to access. This is very difficult as some places where I travel are having very low network coverage. Please help me to sort this issue. Many thanks, Amit

Since loading Firefox I can no longer access video replays on Windows Media Player. I get a message saying the material has downloaded but that it can't be played for reasons that are not correct

I have been playing the video replays from Lone Star Park for years with no problem. I loaded Mozilla Firefox and now I can no longer access the replays. I get a message that data downloaded,Windows Media Player opens,but when I try to download, I get a message saying the video cannot be played. This is very important and I am thinking of removing Mozilla!

Hi there
I had the same problem and I found this answer to a similar question to ours, so I copied and pasted it for you
Reset the device by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time for approximately 10 seconds. After it resets the message will be gone and you can go to settings > icloud and put in your password.
That seems to be a bug with the password alert where it won't respond correctly sometimes.
Hope this helps

IMovies in my 'Movies' folder don't appear in "Media Movies" in iDVD

I am creating a DVD with 16 small iMovie files. They have been saved into the 'Movies' folder on my computer and play fine. When I am in iDVD, I can't add these movies. I have tried importing them from iDVD, they don't import. I have tried dragging them directly onto the iDVD drop zones, doesn't work. I have tried the 'Add movie' button -- no luck. The movies do not even appear in the 'Media>Movies' menu so I can't drag them in that way. I have tried resaving them, creating a Magic iDVD, using different themes, starting all over with iDVD...I feel like I have tried everything I can think of. HELP!!
I am able to export them from iMovie, but I don't want 16 separate DVDs, I'd like them all on one.

Thanks any way, but for the theme I was using your method wasn't suitable for 16 movies. I figured out that if I import the original movies, not the renamed movies, and then change the names once inserted into the iDVD theme they were fine.
Thanks for trying to answer my question.

My Xtreamer media player won't read srt sub files downloaded from my iMac and stored in a 1Tb seagate external disk. However, the Xtreamer Elvira media player will read all the .avi files I have loaded in the external disk. Any ideas?

I am experiencing the same issue with a new external DVD burner, a Sony DRX-840U. When I load a CD into this external drive it appears in iTunes but when you go to import or play the CD iTunes indicates playing or importing for each individual track for just a moment. The end result is that nothing is ever imported or played. I am experiencing this on two different systems. One a notebook running Win2K and the other a desktop running XPpro. If I use the internal DVD drives on either of these systems everything work just fine. Yet I am able to use this new external DVD drive with every other application. For example Window Media Player has no problem playing or importing the same CD that iTunes fails on. The last person indicated that if one set the DVD drive in question to be the drive of choice under preferences>advanced>burning that all was ok. I my case this Sony external drive is the drive listed as the drive of choice for burning yet the issue still exists.
As this appears to be an issue that others are also experiencing help from Apple Tech Support would be greatly appreciated.

Hard drive where iTunes media was stored is dead. Now what?

Hi all; iTunes Experts, please help! The unthinkable happened: my external hard drive, which contained all of my iTunes media (including copies of my iPhone/iPad apps), died. My only small saving grace is that, recently, I made copies of my rather sizeable music collection on another drive (note that said copies are just the MP3s; no--shake your head all you want!--I regretfully don't have a backup of my iTunes). Of course, said MP3 copies are not in/linked to iTunes. And obviously, I'm going to need to be able to sync my phone and iPad to my Mac; since I was backing up to my external and not the Cloud, I'm assuming I'll have to redownload all of my apps for both devices.
So, firstly and generally, how do I go about re-establishing? I'm guessing I need to set up a new "base" iTunes media folder (I have another external I'll be using), but do I have to create that myself? After migrating my iTunes media to the external drive in the first place, I know there's a "right" way to do this properly, and I'm not sure of the process here...
And secondly, in your surely-expert opinion, what is the best way to point all of my MP3s copies back to iTunes, or copy/consolidate them or whatever (my verbiage may be off but I hope you catch my drift)? I've been using iTunes for almost 10 years and I want to keep all of my ratings and play counts, if possible, which I believe are stored on my Mac and weren't affected by the departure of my external drive. If I had to guess, I'm sure I'll need to buy a program to do this, but again, I defer to you, Experts! Thank you in advance for your help.

David,
I would take a look at this old post by another forum member Zevoneer on different ways to recover the media from your iPod.

Can not access the media card files Blackberry 8310 - HELP

Can not access the media card files Blackberry 8310.
I had a battery drain problem. The unit would only last 16 hours before completely drained. Purchased a new battery with the same result. I figured that I should try a complete reset so I did a hard wipe. Once that was done and I loaded the unit back up and returned online, the battery drain problem was resolved but now I can not access the media card.
Here are the messages:
“A media card has been inserted that contains encrypted content which will be unaccessible by this device”
I can see the files. I have transferred them to my PC via the SD card but I can not open them. Here are the settings:
Media card support – ON
Encryption Mode: - Security Password & Device
Encrypt Media Files – YES
Mass Storage Mode Support – OFF
Please note – I can not change the encryption mode since it is set by policy
Security Options – General Settings – Content Protection – Disabled
The version of Desktop Manage I am using is 4.2.1.8. When I try to use the Media Manager to move the files, I get an error message and can’t move the file. If I access the file on the card and try to display it, I get:
Unable to display file /media card/ pictures/ing000000xx.jpg.rem
Here is what I have tried (from the advice on this board):
1)     Read the files directly off the media card – No good
2)     Create a “new” folder on the media card and move a file into it then try to read it – No good
3)     Email the file then read it – No good
4)     Reset Encryption mode to off then try – Can’t do it – IT Policy setting
5)     Be sure that the password was set the same as before the wipe (setting is password & device) – Can’t do it – The Blackberry prevents me from using an old password.
So I think I can’t read the files because I can’t replicate the encryption key. Could that be right? My problem is that I do not understand why this would be the case. It is still the same device and since it knows what the old password was (because it would prevent me from using it again), why would it not generate a key to access the files?
All I am trying to get off the card are pictures on my 6 year old … some are priceless. Can someone help me do this? One would think that this should not be this hard but from all the postings I have found, it seems that it is. And yes, shame on me for not moving the files before I did the reset (THAT will never happen again!) but this being unrecoverable is unconscionable given how many seem to find themselves in this situation.
Thanks for any help you can offer!

Not sure why you couldn't see them using mass storage mode. Did you have the pics stored on your media card? Try going to media-menu-explore-media card-blackberry-pictures See what the extension is on your pics. If any have the extension such as .jpg.rem they are encrypted.
