Is it possible to store all music on Time Capsule?

I want to store all my music remotely on Time capsule so i don't rely on my Mac hard drive or any external hard drive, is that possible, or is there even another way of doing so.
Thanks guys.

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
If you are meaning can the TC HDD simply be used as an extension to the tv storage, then no this cannot be done.
What you can of course do is use the TC HDD to accommodate some or all of your itunes library, then it's a simple case of transferring purchases from the tv to itunes, thereby freeing up space on the tv. You can then stream this content when you want to watch it, providing itunes is running on your mac/pc.

  • Is it possible to store all my itunes music in the cloud and retrieve as needed from my iphone

    Bought my wife an 16G Iphone 5 for Christmas. She went to upgrade to 32G the day after Christmas and was told she'd have to pay a $35 restocking fee? She needs the extra storage for music thus my question: is it possible to store all my itunes music in the cloud and retrieve as needed?

    Good morning K
    A couple of things.
         1.  Anything you buy from itunes can be stored on the icloud free.  It doesn't count against storage.
         2. Music not from itunes can be stored in the cloud free up to the storage limit.
         3.  If you use and pay for itunes match (25$ a year) it will match as much of your music against the Apple      library and then only store your non-matched music in the cloud.  This is great for large libraries.
         4.  When you request a song from the cloud it needs to be connected to the net to download it so you can play                    it.  It then is stored on your iphone.  You may eventually want to delete it from the iphone but it will                      be available in the icloud for future download.          
                     Just don't agree to "delete from icloud also.
    Cheers

  • Is it possible to store all iTunes files on an external drive?

    Is it possible to store all iTunes files on an external drive? I'd like to free up space on my Mac Book Air and iTunes is the largest space hog. What can I store on my 1TB external drive and delete from the laptop's hard drive?

    Drag the iTunes library there, launch iTunes with the Option key held down, click on Choose Library, and navigate to that instance of it.

  • Is it possible to store all photos in an external drive? How do I do it?

    I have too many photos to store in my MacBook. Is it possible to store all photos in an external drive and still use iPhoto (or Aperture) to view them all?

    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

    hI, bella
    I also met this issue a few days ago and I finally find out how to transfer music from iPod to computer:
    1. Plug your iPod in and wait for the computer to recognize it.
    2. Open up 'My Computer' and under 'Devices With Removable Storage', double click and open apple iPod.
    3. Click on 'Tools' at the top of the window and drag down to 'Folder Options'.
    4. Under the 'View' tab, find the subfolder called 'Hidden files and folders'.
    5. Select the option 'Show hidden files and folders'.
    6. Click 'OK'.

  • Is it possible to transfer all music from an i-pod classic onto the computer's i-tunes platform by syncing or any other means??

    Is it possible to transfer all music from an i-pod classic onto the computer's i-tunes platform by syncing or any other means??

    If at all possible, keep the pc alive.  You will need a place to backup your stuff that will not go to the cloud.  If your pc supports the current version of I tunes, then load it up and make that your central storage place.   If your problem is simply lack of disk space on the pc, external USB drives are pretty cheap.
    In any event, you will need I tunes to get the non purchased music o to your pad, so you will need a pc at some point.

  • Can I store iphoto pictures in time capsule and use with pad

    Can I store iphoto pictures in time capsule and use with pad

    We can tell you that it is possible to store separate images on the Time Capsule drive. If however, you are asking if you can access separate images from your Time Machine backups on the Time Capsule, this is not possible.
    How you get the images that your want from iPhoto on your Mac to the Time Capsule drive is a question for the iPhoto experts. It will likely involve "exporting" the files that you want and then moving them using the Finder to the Time Capsule drive.
    How you access those images on the Time Capsule from an iPad is a question for the Using iPad experts.

  • Is it possible to Sync Apple TV with Time Capsule ?

    Thinking about upgrading my router as well as having a large storage capacity for my photos, videos and music I bought a 2 TB Time capsule.
    Is it possible to sync Apple TV with Time Capsule ?
    Is it possible to use Time Capsule to back up a Vista based computer ?
    Is it possible to back up my iTuens library on my Time Capsule ?

    Is it possible to sync Apple TV with Time Capsule ?
    I'm not entirely sure what you are asking here. You can use the TC for your itunes media instead of locally on your PC, you will still need to run itunes on your PC though to sync any of the content to the apple tv.
    Is it possible to use Time Capsule to back up a Vista based computer ?
    I don't see why not.
    Is it possible to back up my iTuens library on my Time Capsule ?
    Yes, but if you intend keeping the original content on the TC (as per Q1), I'm not so sure it would be a good idea, most people seem to lose content through drive failures rather than deleting by mistake, a drive failure would wipe out the original media and the back up at the same time.

  • The hard drive on my Macbook Pro is getting full (mainly due to the size of my iTunes library). Can I store it on my time capsule and if so, how is it done ?

    The hard drive on my Macbook Pro is getting full (mainly due to the size of my iTunes library). Can I store it on my time capsule and if so, how is it done ?

    You can store your iTunes library on a Time Capsule.  So that you can access on your local (home) network (I wouldn't recommend access via the internat), (off site.....to slow).  
    If you do decide to put your libray on Time Capsule I'd recommend doing this.
    Option 1:
    1.  Don't use TC as a Backup (Time Machine).
    2.  Connect a USB drive to your TC or Computer and backup to the  drive. Backup when a change is made to the library (adding Apps, Songs you get the idea). 
    Option 2:  (What Im doing)
    1.   Two Time Capsule's connected via ethernet cable (roaming mode, bridge).
    2.   Use TC1 as a Time Machine backup
    3.   Use TC2 as network drive.  (The information on TC2 does NOT get backed up to TC1).
    3a. Connect a USB, FW, drive to your desktop computer (if you have one) use SilverKeeper to schedule backups.       Silverkeeper will look at TC2 and back it up to a external or internal HD.  I've been doing the or some time now.  Or connect to your TC and do an archive.
    I have this setup because I don't trust Cloud base services and I want access to my files (in Sync) on TC where ever I am, as long as there's a internet connection.  It's expensive, but does exactly what I expect.
    The most important thing is to safe guard your data in case of a failure.
    In your situation it would probably be better to get a high speed SD or thumb drive, however I've never been successful in backing up those type of drives with TM.  What ever you decide to do make sure you have a GOOD duplicate (backup).

  • HT201250 Can i store my files on time capsule from my ipad, and copy them back, without using itunes to sync the tablet?

    Can i store my files on time capsule from my ipad, and copy them back, without using itunes to sync the tablet? i want to buy an iPad Air and to forget my laptop and i think that even the 128 gb wont be enough some times. I am wandering if time capsule can be used as external hdd and to connect on it via wifi ...

    No. You cannot access your Time Capsule directly from an iOS device. The only way to back up an iOS device is to a computer through iTunes or to iCloud, though in some cases you can open and save files via another cloud-based service such as Dropbox.

  • I do not own neither a Mac nor an iOS devices. May I still be able to use all features of Time Capsule, including remote access over the internet?

    As described above.

    You will have setup issues.. as the latest AC model requires a Mac or iOS device.. eventually apple will release a windows version of the utility.. and the current one does partly work but Apple seem in no hurry.
    You can find a Mac or iPad equipped friend to do the setup.. once setup the Windows computer can use it.
    BUTT you cannot access it from remote..
    Not with windows. You need BTMM and iCloud account. AFAIK even with those you cannot reach the TC.
    You can do it manually.. using a vpn. Buy a proper vpn router and use a vpn client on the windows computer.. the TC would be in bridge to the network..
    Apple really did not make this for windows.. and SMB access is only provided on LAN access not WAN.

  • How to share music with time capsule

    I would like to know how to share Music installed in Time Capsule.. I need that this music could be played in Iphone, Ipad, Apple TV in the same WIFI network

    It is not possible.. the TC is not a media player.
    You must have a computer acting as itunes server.. although there is no such thing. Apple call it home share.

    It is possible to store the itunes library on the TC but that makes no difference .. you still need a computer of some sort turned on to play it.

  • Storing music on Time Capsule?

    Because the hard drive on my PowerBook is fairly small (and I have a large music library), I've decided to store all my cds on Time Capsule. It seemed like a great way to have all my cds available when I was home. The problem I've found is that now, every time I start iTunes if I've been away from my Time Capsule, the default "storing" local will switch back to my internal hard drive. When I change it to Time Capsule... iTunes updates the entire library. This happens every time I use my computer when I get home. How can I avoid this step?
    If this helps, in the Preferences window I have not checked the "Keep organized..." box, but I have checked the "Copy files...." box.
    I'm grateful for any suggestions.

    Thanks for the reply. I thought that might do the trick so I was slick today - I quit iTunes before I left the house and then didn't open it until I was back home and could see my Time Capsule in Finder. But when I opened iTunes.... it was the same thing.

  • Streaming music from Time Capsule to Apple TV

    no

  • How stream music from Time-Capsules hard drive via iPhone and AirPlay without any computer turned on?

    Is there a possibility to stream music stored on my time-capsules hard drive directly to my iPhone and then ask the iPhone the send the music (in real-time) via AirPlay to my AirPlay compatible speakers, without having ANY computer turned on? I know that the Sonos system managed this simple task, but Apple? Any news in iOS 4.3 or 5 maybe.

    As Chris says... but if the media is on an external drive as above then you also need to make sure the external drive has the same drive letter on the system you are moving to or iTunes won't be able to find the files.
