MyBook Live and iTunes

Hi
I'm having trouble with connecting iTunes on my MacBook Air to my MyBook Live NAS drive.
I've kept my music on the NAS for a couple of years while using a PC/Windows laptop, but moving to the MacBook I can't get things to work in the same way. The iTunes library files and the music are in a folder on the NAS, and iTunes on the Macbook has been set to locate its media there. Initially I found this would show me my folders but no content in them.
But now, after resetting the preferences to try the process again, when I try to change to the NAS I get the message '"MyBook Live" can't be opened because the original item can't be found'.
The MyBook drive is working - it plays music via my Sonos system - though it's very slow when doing anything with the MacBook, much slower than it is with a much cheaper and lower-spec Windows laptop.
Any ideas are very welcome!
Gareth

...sorry, meant to say, when I did manage to connect to the NAS under preferences, it showed me my playlists, (not my folders), but with no content in them.
Now, though it appears to be locating the iTunes media locally, it still shows those playlists, so it appears to have a copy of my library on the MacBook, but there's no music on the laptop yet.

Problem with MyBook Live and Time Machine on MacBook Pro

Hi,
I bought recently a WD MybookLive 2 tb.
The HD is connected to the modem and make backup from Macbook Pro 15 'with Time Machine.
Previously everything worked correctly, the Mac recognizes the disc and carried outregular backups, everything started to not work after the updates that were released by Apple on November 11 with software update - firmware on the My Book Live theMyBookLive 02.10.09-124: Core F / W
I get this error:
Time Machine can not complete the backup. The disk backup is not available.
Apart from Time Machine, yes, I use the MyBook Live, I load the disk where you are within the Public folders Shared Music, Shared Pictures, Shared Videos, and Software,I can easily copy files and copy them from there into to my computer - the My Book and'set a DHCP address.
Thanks

ITunes download on NAS WD MyBook Live - super slow!

I have a WD MyBook Live with latest firmware - 2TB. Ever since I moved my iTunes media folder to the NAS performance is great, except my download speeds are crazy slow! I have a 450MBPS 5ghz WIFI connection. When transferring to and from my Macbook Pro to the NAS I get speeds in the region of 30MB/s. Yet when I am downloading with iTunes I get 1MB/s!
If I download straight to my HDD ( tested by making another iTunes folder ) I get super fast speeds that pretty much max out my 120MBPS Virgin Media connection. So what gives? I tried both making an alias and also a symbolic link point downloads to a different location, but iTunes does not recognise this.
Any suggestions?

I would really appreciate some input on this issue please!

Hi Don ...
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

The iTunes and Mac App Store are one in the same.

Why can't I locate airport extreme, WiFi HP 7520 all-in-one, and WD MyBook Live (ethernet cable to airport).

I installed OS X Mavericks two days ago. My computer will not access Airport Extreme. I downloaded printer software for Mavericks for HP 7520 a wireless machine. The HP 7520 can find Airport but my computer can find neither. (A direct USB hookup does work, however.) For Time Machine backups I am using WD MyBook Live 3T. The HP and WD are share with my wife who uses a MacBook Pro, is running OSX 10.6.8, and is having no issues. Software seems to be up to date in both machines. These things seem to point to the Airport Extreme being the problem. How can it be fixed?

You won't be able to download music, films or TV programmes from iTunes until either they are available in Pakistan (which will need a sufficient number of content providers to grant Apple a license to sell their content there), or you move to a country where they are sold. Are there other music purchase downloads sites in Pakistan ? You can also copy your own music CDs via your computer's iTunes (so you could buy CDs and copy them) and sync them to your phone.

HT201209 We have a gift card for iTunes that was purchased in the United States and we live in Canada and iTunes won't allow us to redeem it. Is there any way we can exchange it?

Sorry, but as KP guessed, Apple will not exchange the card, and you are correct that you can't use a US iTunes card in Canada. You will need to give or sell it to someone in the US.

I'm on my iPad, so I don't know if this is the page with an actual download. I don't see a button, but assume that is because I am on an iPad. It is in the DL section of Apple downloads.

Restoring osx from mybook: will iPhoto and iTunes be there?

My imac hard drive crashed. I did online restore. The system does not find the mybook backup via time machine. I can see mybook and it's contents in disk utility. If I restore from mybook to Mac OSX Base System in disk utility will iphoto and iTunes be there? If not, how do I retrieve them? What is the best way for me to proceed to be fully operational again? Thank you.

Sounds like the hard drive died. Good thing you have a backup. Unless your backup was on another partition of the same drive. Then that may be gone for good, too.

Time Machine and Western Digital MyBook Live

I bought a WD 3Tb MyBook Live NAS drive for use with Time Machine. It supports TM out of the box without any OS tweaks. I'm running OS 10.6.7.
TM won't run longer than an hour.   Almost every hour I see
Log entries:
5/6/11 1:53:04 AM          configd[14]          network configuration changed.

5/6/11 3:53:44 AM          configd[14]          network configuration changed.
The above happens with or without TM enabled and running.   With TM running it looks like:
5/5/11 9:42:16 AM          configd[15]          network configuration changed.

It seems that this network config change breaks the connection to the TM volume.   Any ideas on what's causing the network config change?
The WD drive and iMac are connected via ethernet (Not Wireless) to the same linksys WRT54GL router.

Using a third-party network device with Time Machine is unsupported by Apple, and may be unsafe. If it doesn't work, your only recourse is to the device vendor, who will blame Apple. Apple will blame the vendor. I suggest you back up either to a locally-attached external hard drive, or to a Time Capsule, or to a shared volume hosted on another Mac.

Can I connect Apple TV to Mybook Live?

How do I stream the contact of mybook live through AppleTV?

You will not be able to directly connnect your Apple TV to a remote hard drive.
The Apple TV can communicate with other computers through Home Sharing which can be set up on the Apple TV and the computer you wish to communicate using your iTunes account ID. But Apple TV will only have access to content available in the iTunes of that computer.
You can use Airplay to stream Quicktime compatible content to the Apple TV but this is a manual process. But it would allow you to select media on your Mybook from your computer and view it on the Apple TV as long as the file type is supported by Quicktime.
Hope this helps, Rodí

Time machine won't recognize my WD MyBook Live as a backup drive

I am having an issue with Time Machine not recognizing my 1 TB MyBook Live External Hard drive. I recently changed internet providers and have a new modem and router (motorolla modem and medialink router) and since then I can't get Time Machine to consistently recognize the backup portion of this hard drive. Every now and then, not sure why, it will recognize the drive and back it up but won't stay connected all the time. Most of the time it acts as if there is no backup drive. I checked to see when the last backup was made and it said it was made a day ago but it was while I was asleep over night. Not sure why it connected then or how. To get even more odd, it does recognize the drive because I can access all the files on the server portion of the mybook live drive. For example I have all of my iTunes library on there and run it off the drive and that works fine and recognizes everything.
I have a macbook and I'm running Snow Leopard. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

TM apparently identifies the machine's backup by the Computer Name stored in the Sharing preferences. Try opening Sharing preferences and changing the Computer Name to the one you used previously when your TM backup was created.
