Is there a solution in Apple framework that offers NAS RAID DLNA?

Hello forum,
I think the requirement of NAS with RAID and additionally DLNA is slowly belcoming quite common these days.
Apple seems to have taken a step in the right direction with Time Capsule but without RAID it only reaches halfway though.
In addition, there is no support for DLNA certified TV either - (Time Capsule needs DLNA certification)
I have spent only limited time within Apple software and OS so whereas my understanding is limited but I appreciate that most of the times Apple products work reliably and deliver.
This is the main motivation behind this question - I am exploring the opportunity to stay within Apple framework for NAS etc. against Synology and the likes.
Please share your thoughts on whether below possible solution to RAID issue will work or not:
a) Buy a 2TB Time Capsule.
b) Buy Western Digital 4TB Red and External HDD enclosure from eBay or something.
c) Connect it to 2TB Time Capsule via the USB port available.
d) Configure Time Machine to take a Backup on Time Capsule.
e) Question 1 - Can Time Machine have 2 separate schedules - i.e; create backups at 2 separate locations?
This way it could maintain 2 bkps - 1 on Time Machine and the other on 4TB Red.
f) Question 2 - No idea about how to get the streaming / DLNA side of things to work - Can Apple TV read photos out of iPhoto database/ movies etc.. sitting on Time Capsule / 4TB Red?
thanks
Gaurav

Thank you Eric.
Re question 2 - There are DLNA server softwares available that can be installed on my MBPR - these would be compatible with iTunes / iPhoto (atleast they seem to claim so).
Overall this fits the equation for me.

  • Is there any enterprise class PHP framework that works with Oracle ?

    Hi everyone,
    I am investigating the possibility of using some kind of PHP framework that will help develop enterprise class web applications. -- something similar to Oracle's ADF for Java --
    I have spend the last two weeks working with symfony which appears to be very attractive but does now work with Oracle. (Well at least I haven't been able to make it work).
    So my question is what are you people using? I mean you can't go around witting PHP scripts that display HTML tables with embedded echo's in them, each time you want to display the results of a query...
    Thanks in advance
    Thanassis

    There is Cake, but I have no experience. I wrote an article about Symfony, after I was tasked with maintaining a PHP application written with Symfony. A colleague has left the company and the application was given to me. Since then, I have left the company, so I am no longer in such close contact to PHP frameworks. The information about Cake can be found at http://cakephp.org. I have no experience whatsoever with it.

  • "invalid address"--solution from Apple support that worked for me

    I have been among the throng who have been frustrated for the past couple of days by not being able to get even free Apps and songs from the iTunes store,let alone purchase anything,since all attempts at  downloading/purchasing or even updating Apps on the iPad are met with a message "invalid address" and a link to update billing info in the store. I have called AppleCare once, and have been in an email correspondence with an iTunes support rep since May 10. After assuring her that this was not a personal credit card problem, she started to work this with me as a system problem.
    First she had me correct my billing info to include Zip+4 zip codes instead of the 5 digit zip code I had entered. She had me contact the issuer of my credit card to be sure they were using zip+4 (they were not). I corrected the address by phone with the credit card company and then corrected it in my iTunes billing account,but I still was not able to get anything from the store since all attempts were met with an "invalid address" message loop.
    At that point I emailed the support rep back to report no joy with her zip code+4 fix.
    I changed my city name to all caps, changed my payor source to none and was able to download a free song, so I knew progress was possible,but still could not buy anything with a credit card or PayPal, both of which had had address corrections to the zip codes.
    Then I got this email fix from Apple support:
    "Please look over your address in the following link:
    http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/
    Then we will make sure that address matches in the Apple Store and iTunes. I'll walk you through this process to get you back up and running in no time.
    1) Visit the My Apple ID website at:
    http://appleid.apple.com
    2) If the site is not displayed in your preferred language, click the Change Language link in the upper-right corner, type the name of your language in the field that appears, then click the Save button.
    3) Click the "Manage your account" link.
    4) Type your iTunes Store account name (which is your Apple ID) in the Apple ID field, type your password in the password field, then click the Sign In button.
    5) Click "Addresses" in the column on the left. If you have multiple shipping addresses, remove any out-of-date or duplicate addresses by clicking Delete. Also, make sure the state or province field is filled out correctly for each address. To edit an address, click Edit. Edit all of your shipping addresses and make sure the appropriate state is selected in the State drop-down menus.
    6) Now click "Phone Numbers" on the left. The area codes should be in the area code fields and the phone numbers should be in the phone number fields. If an area code is missing, or if it is in a phone number field, your account information may not save properly.
    7) Make any other necessary corrections, then click the Save Changes button.
    8) Click Log out in the upper-right corner.
    When you make your next purchase on the iTunes Store, you will be asked to review your billing information. At this point, you can change your information or simply click Done at the bottom of the screen to proceed. Once you click Done, you should be able to purchase on the iTunes Store ..."
    I followed this to the letter--my address was correct in the USPS zip4 site,although they use all caps for everything and I did not capitalize the street name.
    When I logged into the Apple ID site I found they had 1 addresses,one perfectly correct per USPS and another with obvious errors in the street address.
    I deleted the erroneous one,saved the correct one and logged out.
    When I went back to the iTunes store I was able to purchase and download an App for my iPad using my original credit card.
    So making sure my address matched the USPS database, then checking the address in the Apple ID site,then going back to the iTunes store worked for me.
    YMMV--I am posting this because several people indicated they had not even had a (useful) reply from Apple support.

    I am having the same issue....Same address for years - same as USPS - I tried 5 times (3 macs and 2 iPhones) and now i have 5 CHARGES for 1.00 each on my credit card. I took the credit card info off so they don't charge me anymore. How can they charge me yet still not allow me to download free updates and say I have an invalid address? I'm sure I will spend weeks or months trying to get a credit out of these incompetent idiots.

  • Is there a plan for Apple to continue offering the external iSight camera?

    Hi All,
    I'm thrilled to be the new owner of a Mac Pro w/Cinema display, but I'm getting jealous of my partner on his MacBook Pro with built-in iSight camera, having all the fun with video iChats and video Skype calls.
    Since Apple has discontinued sales of the old external iSight camera, does anyone know if they have any plans for a new (even cooler) version? Or, if not, any recommendations on another product that would work just as well?
    Thanks!

    Hello John and Peter
    ¶2.1.1 of Apple Discussions' Terms of Use prohibits us from speculating on Apple's plans here. If you want to pursue that question, you can search the web for some of the many Mac or Apple rumor sites.
    Some of the many available iSight alternatives are discussed in this link. Because you are using Leopard on your new Mac Pro, all of the alternatives mentioned there are available to you.
    At present, the Apple Store sells the Logitech QuickCam Ultra Vision. However, any of the alternatives from the link in the paragraph above will work as long as they are compatible with your system and the applications you plans to use with your camera. The package documentation for many cameras list compatibility info for popular applications. Carefully check the documentation for any apps and cameras of interest before you buy.
    Also check the camera's advertised features to be certain your compatible camera has all features that are important to you (examples: auto-focus, auto-exposrure, zoom capablility, integrated microphone, etc..) You may not need many, or even any, of these features, but many low priced Mac compatible cameras omit at least some of the features that you may need.
    You will not have any difficulty finding cameras that will work with both iChat and Skype. For specific camera recommendations for iChat, search the iChat and iChat Sharing Forum for threads like this one.
    For Skype-specific questions beyond what Webcams that Skype sells for use with their software, see the Skype Help pages.

  • Hello! I have an iPod Touch 4th Gen. of 8GB and I was wondering if I could just pay the difference for an iPod 5th Gen. 32GB or do I only get the 10% discount. Also, are there any times where Apple has special offers and discounts? Thank you :)

    This is a question that I really need answered so that I can figure out what to plan to get the money to pay for the new iPod. Thank you!

    You'd probably find a better deal with another store trade-in program. I know Radio Shack in years past purchased used Apple products and in return customers received a gift-card;  I think you'd get more bang for your buck... more than the messily 10%  Apples offers.

  • Is there a solution to reply with a template to more than one message at once?

    Okay, I'm stuck. I was using MailTemplateEditor which allowed one to create a template message and select multiple emails with a "reply with..." command in Apple Mail. It was a great way to get a standard reply out to multiple emails/recipients in one step.
    Is there ANY solution for Apple Mail 6 that can do the following:
    allow you to select multiple emails and reply with a predefined message?
    I don't want to go through individual emails, one at a time, and then use TextExpander to have my message added in the reply. It's a time-killer.
    Any solutions out there?
    Thanks for your time and consideration?

    This might help:

    I have updated my iphone4 and all  data have gone including photos contacts and notes .is there any solution?

    All data that was on your iPhone should be on your computer.
    All photos that were transferred to your iPhone from your computer should remain on your computer and can be retransferred. Photos/videos captured by the iPhone can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera - especially before installing an iOS update. Re-transfer these photos from your computer as with any other photos available on your computer.
    Contacts and notes are designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer, and there are some free email accounts that support syncing contacts and notes over the air.
