I have an LG Smart TV and want to NAS to my Time Capsule

I have an LG smart TV and am using it to access the internet for films etc...The question is, the TC is connected via ethernet not WiFi, so how can I access my iTunes and iPhoto libraries which are stored on the Hard Drive of the TC. My research says it is referred to as NAS, network attached Storeage...but the TV is asking for a connection via USB...SURELY this must be possible?
Knowing Apple's 'uniqueness' from the rest of the IT world I am sure it is not plug and play but am certain someone must know.
Please help? Do not want to attach another hard drive when it is not needed.
Thanks.

You are right.

It is unique and not possible.
The TC is now and always a network device. You cannot connect to it via USB.
The TV cannot play media from itunes or iphoto libraries.. it requires DLNA.. TC is Apple product.. therefore it does not support DLNA.. nor does it support itunes to be clear.. the TC is not a media player. It is a dumb as a board hard disk in a router.. Calling it a NAS is stretching the language.
iTunes must have a computer running to stream the library to anywhere.. you normally need an Apple TV to act as the streaming device on the TV.. that is how apple make things.. all one brand.. only works with that one brand. TC - Mac Computer (although a pc will work) - ATV plugged into the TV.
You can play media stored on a TC.. you must use standard video files.. and you need a media player.. eg WD Live TV.. because remember the TC is dumb as a board. TC--WDlive--TV
The TV has no way to play raw video files.. nor can it play itunes library on a network drive.. no matter what it is.

My iPod has music and apps from my apple ID that I downloaded to my iPod via iCloud and some apps that I got free from the store, straight onto my iPod, but my laptop has some music on it aswell, separate from my other library. I want to put the music from my laptop into my iTunes library which I want to use on both computers. Is it possible to do this?
Thanks.

- You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
- If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

Open the Mac App Store and try purchasing Mountain Lion 10.8. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU with at least 2GB of RAM, and if it does, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.

Stop using it.

HT201250 I have mac 10.6.8 and wanted to back up to DVDs. How can I do it?

I have mac 10.6.8 and want to back up everything on DVDs. Is it possible, if it is how can I do it?

Backing up to DVDs is a time-wasting exercise and doesn't provide you with a bootable alternative. I suggest that you invest in an ext FWHD and use something like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! to put a bootable backup/clone onto it. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4449562?start=0&tstart=0 for more on this.
BTW, don't let the recall notice scare you into getting it replaced immediately. If there's nothing wrong with the HD, prepare for getting it replaced, but only after you've followed all the steps outlined above. FWIW, if you're within 50 miles of an Apple repair station, they most likely will do an onsite repair since it's a desktop machine.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I'm not sure what you are asking, but if you want to watch TV stations you can watch on your mac in a web browser on the Apple TV instead, I'm sorry you can't do that.

Thanks roaminggnome. Can I do that transfer wirelessly or do I have to get a large jump drive to copy and transfer. I presume that I cannot use my iPod right?

I have a MacBook, made in 2010. I can't get the eject function to work. I have a DVD in now and want to eject it and put another one in. Command-E, dragging it to the trash or Find-Eject does not work. Ideas?

Hi there. Hear are some other options . Hold down for click on the track pad while restarting and keep it down all the way thru boot. Or use right click on a mouse. If it's stuck, sometimes sticking a business card in top edge of slot while trying the eject option can work.
