Music and tv

Ok folks, I want to move my entire music collection to a mac and here's my plan. A mac mini, itunes and a connection to my Pal annalogue TV, what I'm hoping is that I can see my itunes library in the TV and select from it without having to mount a PC monitor as well as a TV on the wall, can I do this?

I have just read your reply and would be interested in any problems you had outputting your mac mini to your TV. The reason being I was thinking of buying a mini to replace my xp media centre which is connected to my 36'' Panasonic crt pal TV, so before I jumped in I purchased the apple dvi to svideo adaptor for my PM G5, I know my PM works with my 26'' samsung HDTV using the VGA or HDMI inputs so I tried the svideo input and the picture was terrible, although you counld see the picture the individual pixels seemed to be changing colours even on a static picture, so I then moved the PM to the living room where the panasonic crt TV is and tried that with much the same effect. Did you have any of these problems ?.

  • How do i share media (music and videos) between all of my devices?

    i currently have (and attempt to use as much as possible) the following devices:  macbook pro 15", ipad 4, iphone 6 plus 64 GB, and appletv 2.
    i would love it if these devices would talk to each other correctly.  first came the macbook, and i took an internal 2 tb drive cannibalized from my previous pc and transformed it into an external.  that drive is desinated as my media drive, it includes all of my video and music.  the macbook and the appletv talk to each other flawlessly.  every music and video file on that drive is accesible to me using apple tv. 
    next up is the ipad, which includes some of my videos (movies), but no tv shows.  music also does not show up, only options to buy from the store.  but i already have a music library that includes many songs downloaded from the store that dont show up, only some stupid U2 album that i never downloaded.
    finally, we get to the iphone, which i just got.  i get no shared music or videos here at all.
    by the way, all settings are set to share with each device in settings and itunes.  each device talks to one another.  i know this because there is some level of sharing on each device (ie ipad gets videos, iphone shares spreadsheets and other productivity files.  appletv shares everything.  i now want to sync these devices so that they can share the same data while on the same home network.  i should be able to do this, right?
    also, i know that i can airdrop/transfer but thats not really what im looking to do atm.
    thanks

    im more than a little disappointed here.  can anyone recommend another forum please?

  • How can you use the same Apple ID for music and apps but have a different iCloud

    Collectively in my family we have 1 iPhone 2 ipod(4th gen) and 3 iPad mini's and we like to buy music and apps through the same Apple ID so that we can all share it but we also have a problem about the iCloud.
    My son has one iPod and one iPad and he would like his contacts and messages to be shared between HIS two devices but he would also like all of the pictures taken in the family to be shared
    The same for my daughter and for me.
    Is there a way of selecting which devices share what????
    Thanks a lot
    Acwills

    You could and should set up different iCloud accounts in "Settings > iCloud", so that every user has its own email account, calendars, reminders, notes, storage for backups and app data (files etc.), by the way everyone could also use his own account for iMessage (Settings > Messages > Send & Receive) and FaceTime (Settings > FaceTime) so that you all could write and call each other.
    Next the Apple ID for music, apps and other media: You all could just set up the ssame Apple ID in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" for all your media purchases like songs, movies, apps etc.

  • How can I retrieve music and pictures from my Apple Tv?

    I had thousands of picture, music and movie files on my Macbook Pro, which was synced to my Apple TV.  I have since lost that Macbook Pro along with all the files on it.  I bought a new Macbook Pro, but want to see if there is a way of getting all the old files from the Apple TV and putting them on my new Mac.  I'd  prefer not to pick apart the Apple TV to get to the hard drive.  Is there any app or simple way to transfer files through Wifi, like a reverse home sharing?  If there isn't there should be.

    I assume this is a 1st gen and not the newer models (black box). In any case it is not meant to be used as a storage device and thus no easy way to retrieve

  • Can I have one Apple ID for personal (music) and one for work (syncing contacts and mail)  on the save device

    Between my husband and I we have 6 devices and we are only allowed to share our Apple ID across 5.  Some of the devices are for music and outlook and some are just for music - can I have a separate Apple ID for my mail and contacts.  ie. Can you use two different Apple ID's on the same device?

    Oh maybe ipads and iphones aren't counted in the five

    Thanks for responding. Since I upgraded ITUNES to IOS 6, my IPOD Touch no longer works at all. I had numerous apps, music and videos on this touch. It made me restore to factory reset and it still does not work!!! Nothing I do will work on this touch now. I have so much data on this, I don't want to loose or have to restore!
    Can you help me?
    Thanks

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • How can i save my individual playlist on itunes on my external hard drive because i want to buy a laptop and install itunes and move all my music and playlist thats on my desktop to my laptop and almost all my music is from a bunch of cd's i own

    Hello ryane84
    The easiest and most efficient way to copy your music is to follow the steps under the External drive section. Make sure that you have organized the iTunes library first before you copy it over. Then put the copied iTunes folder in the same Music folder on your computer.

  • IOS 7.0.2 - ITunes Manually manage music and videos option - all of my music has disappeared?

    Hi all - I clicked the above option because I was having issues moving tracks to my I-Phone.  Except now, ALL of the songs I have ripped manually from my old CDs previously have disappeared - ***?  I'm talking well over 800 songs!!!!!!
    I can't see them anymore in my IPhone or the Library, so assume they have gone.
    How the f*ck is this possible?  I didn't choose any delete option.
    Has anyone had this happen to them?  Guess I have to spend hours doing them all again.
    I-Tunes is an absolute joke - I've had issues with it since year dot.  So p*ssed off right now.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Happened to multiple people and everyone blames different things. What they don't realize is that itunes, just like Windows Media player do not contain music. They just see it on the computer and allow to play. Music can only dissapear if was deleted from itunes or if itunes do not have access to library. There are multiple programs on Windows that can stop itunes from accessing library, example McAfee real time scanner did it 4 months ago and
    I don't know if that was ever fixed. So find that music and reimport that is all.

  • How do I share Mac music and photo files when in Windows Bootcamp mode?

    I have a new iMac with a terabyte of storage that includes about 30 gigs each of iTunes music and jpg photos. I need to share them to the Windows Bootcamp environment so I can wirelessly stream to them to a DLink DSM 320 media server connected to an AV system located in another room. When in Bootcamp Windows the the 320 can "see" the Windows machine but cannot find any media.
    So the question is, how do I share files between Mac and Windows when in Windows Bootcamp?
    A better solution would be to directly connect the Dlink when in the Mac environment but I have not been able to find software to do that (the Dlink product is for PC only.) If anyone knows of such software that would be great too.

    Windows needs third party software to see files on the MAC OS extended FS. I've heard MacDrive does this.

    Use the same Apple ID and password for purchasing in all these devices.

  • My husband and I have separate iTunes accounts and multiple devices (iPads, iPhones, iPods etc) how do we share our music and apps between our devices if we have different iTunes accounts.

    Help! My husband and I have multiple devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod ) that we we have linked to individual iTunes accounts ie he has his account with iPad, iPhone, PC and iPod linked/sync and I have my account with iPhone, iPad, iPad mini, PC etc.. How do we share our music and apps across/between our accounts?

    It probably means that only one of you can use iCloud or at least sync calender/contacts with it. I would guess that you could manually manage the other phone as you have before.

  • I tried to sync my iPod touch to a new laptop and it deleted all of my music and videos. I called tech support and they told me to email iTunes and they would give it back to me. How do I do this??

    I  tried to sync my iPod touch to a new MacPro laptop and it deleted all of my music and videos. I called tech support and they told me to email iTunes and they would give it back to me. How do I do this??

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

  • How do I retrieve lost music and apps?

    While updating my iPod touch I lost all of my pictures, videos, music, and apps. How do I restore all of this lost memory?

    If you still have a backup, you can restore your device from that backup.
    Apps and other media can be downloaded again for free, they are not part of the backup made by iTunes:
