Playing music from Apple TV from iTunes not on same network?

We have a massive estate with Apple TVs and were hoping to be able to play music from our iTunes thru the Apple TV. We don't have computers in the main house, only in the office on a completely separate network (which I think we need to have with Home Sharing).
Is there a way to have Apple TV play our music content either from our iTunes on the Mac in another place? or from an iOS device? or from iCloud?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Home sharing will require both the Mac and Apple TV to be on the same network, there is no way around that.
If you have iTunes Match then you could access your full iTunes library in the cloud via the Music icon on Apple TV.
There is a feature called peer to peer airplay, that allows an IOS device to stream to Apple TV without needing the same network. However, this requires a 3rd gen ATV and IOS device from 2012 or later.

Playing Music on Apple TV from an External Hard Drive

I just purchased the latest Apple TV and love it! Unfortunately I have aquired a large music library and so I have much of my music on an external hard drive. I can play the music located in my iTunes library on my laptop; however I can't play the music from the hard drive. Can you tell me how to play the hard drive music on my Apple TV?

The way I understand it is if I load the content into iTunes then it will be on my laptop hard drive. This will take up too much space on my laptop hard drive. I think if I click on a song to listen to it, it copies it to my laptop hard drive, so in order not to over pack the computer I delete the song from the lap top. I feel like I must be doing something wrong.

Apple TV 3gen won't play content from iTunes, Apple TV 2nd gen works fine same network

Hi.
Recently, after all the most recent Apple updates, my Apple TV 3rd gen won’t play content from iTunes on my Mac. I have an Apple TV 3nd gen on the same network and it works fine. This problem started after the recent round of OS X updates( I am running 10.9.2 and iTunes 11.1.5. As my Apple TV3 was actually new and I took it to the Apple store where they kindly gave me a new one but the same thing happens. The Apple TV 3rd gen will play content through the onboard clients like Netflix, iTunes, Bloomberg.
The Apple TV3rd gen won’t play anything form my computer’s iTunes library, whether or not it was purchased from the Itunes store or home movies from iPhone etc. I have restored the device a few times to no luck. I have even switched routers, same problem.
Any thoughts ?
Thanks in advance.

Home sharing was configured and turned on. I can actually see all the content on my Mac. When I trry to play anything i just see the white spinning wheel on the black background.

Use Boot Camp Assistant in
Applications/Utility
Remove the partition.
There is also a full pdf help guide built in Help menu there.
There are other methods also. Use OS X DVD and delete it but you can't do so while booted from your hard drive.
Memory = "RAM" that programs use and get loaded into to run
Your partition is part of hard drive physical storage where OS and applications are kept until needed.
And yes, Mac needs to have 20GB or 20% minimum to avoid problems and will run slower with such small amount of free space.
You could also do one of a number of ways to backup and then boot from another device and reformat and then restore your drive.
A "Mac Pro" is a workstation with multiple internal drive bays so really easy to backup, put Windows on its own hard drive; and no need to have someone else do anything - at all.

My iPod shuffle could be seen on iTunes, but it cannot be charged and don't play music. The battery light do not flash at all.

Like what I mentioned, the iPod do not work, it won't play music and the battery light do not flash.
But it shows in iTunes, and I could sync music into it.
I tried to reset all the settings of the iPod, and installed all the new software, but it does not work.
I don't know if it works before, my friend left it to me. I erased all the data she used before and syncronized all my music inside.
But it just never worked in my hand...
I really appreciate all feedbacks! Thanks and please answer this question if you have the similar situation!!

Are you using the USB docking cable that came with the iPod? There are separate contact points for power and data, so it is possible for the cable to connect for data, but not for power. Some third-party replacement cables may be of lower quality, if you do not have the original cable
However, it seems to be getting power, since the shuffle is operating when connected and you are able to sync when it is connected. So I think your USB docking cable is working.
That leaves a problem with the USB port or a problem on the shuffle.
For the USB port, it may not be supplying sufficient power to charge the battery. As a test, you should shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices, including hub, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used). If the Mac is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power). Do this to reset the shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1655
Start up the Mac, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle to a direct USB port on the Mac. Any difference...?
If that does not help, it may be a problem with the shuffle, such as a worn out battery.

How to play music or voice audio from my computer though my sterio system.

How can I play music or voice audio from my iMac G5 computer though my sterio system. I have tried everything I can think of. I just can not get the audio from my computer to play though my sterio system. I want to take the audio from my computer and record it back to audio cassett. Please tell me there is a easy way to go about this LOL. Thanks.

I wanted to give a big thanks to all that gave me great and very needed help. I wanted to let everyone know that. I did fix my problom with get music out of my computer and into my stereo. Here is how I did it. If you already have a stereo with a RCA line in you are good to go. All you need is a hifi-link I got one from circuit city. With it you can take the music from your computer be PC or Mac and play it though your stereo but again your stereo must have a audio in for you to get music to come though your stereo or at least it was the only way I could get it to work for me. Oh and you will need a free USB port on your computer for the hifi-link to hook to see it dose not us your computers audio card. Instead it go's though your USB. It work just great. But you should read on the back of the box or when you are looking for iy on the net make shour it will work with your computer some older systems it will not work with.
I have been needing a new stereo for sometime now. I really like shelf stereo systems. So I got me a Sony MHC-GX570XM. Now it sells for $249.95. Now I did a search for this system and the only plays I could find that sells it was Sony. Now here is the kicker I went to Sams with my Dad. We had stoped to look a the flat screen TVs. As we were walking away from the electronics. I saw it as plain has day there it was in all it glory. Now the crazy thing is this system was not on there web site though it could be now. But when I was looking for this cool system they did not have it on there web site. I got this system for get this $199 thats like I think $50 off the asking price. Now I would have been more then happy to pay the $249.95. I liked to have had a fit right there in the store LOL. I thought I was going to have to order it online. If I had did that I would had haved to pay even more with s/h...
Now two of the big reasons I got this system was for the PC/line in or you can hook up a MP3 player and play it though the system very cool. Sec reason It has to cassettes decks 1 plays and the other recordes. The really cool thing is it is XM radio ready. Though you will need a XM membership and a XM antina. But from what I have read thats all you need. It also has a 3 CD changer that swivals. It has so many cool thing I can not name them all. Now this system my not be for everyone. But it dose all that I need and more. Also it really helps to have a hifi-link so you can hook it to your computer the easy way and not have to go though your sound card. Thanks again for everyones time and help.

HT204088 i have a charge from apple and i did not authorized it and it appears in my bank account but not in my recent purchases i want to know whats going on

i have a charge from apple and i did not authorized it and it appears in my bank account but not in my recent purchases i want to know whats going on

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple
How much is the charge ? Have you added or changed your credit card details on your iTunes account ? If you have then each time that you do so a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.

How do I download purchased movies from Apple TV to iTunes program on computer.

You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

I have a question regarding loading Turbotax for mac on my brand new Imac. Can I download it from Apple? I do not have a CD/DVD drive.

I would like to use Turbotax for mac. I am a new user and just bought my Imac desktop a few weeks ago. Can I purchase and download the software from Apple? I do not have an optical drive so I need to use the download method.

Thank you for your reply. I may not have phrased my question correctly but what I was ondering is whether Apple sells this software download or whether it is only available thru Intuit. I have tried severl other vendors (Micro Center, Costco, Bjs Wholesale) and none of them have it available for download. Must I go thru Intuit only if I use this method?

That is telling that the Apple TV is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. This is done by connecting to iTunes via micro USB.

I purchased music on my computer with old email address, same computer new email address, but I get play music becasue it tells me computer not authorized...how do you authorize???

I purchased music on my computer with old email address, same computer new email address, but I get play music becasue it tells me computer not authorized...how do you authorize???

I have almost the exact same problem. I have a bunch of music, ringtones, TV shows, movies... stuff that I purchased that I can't authorize. All of these items were purchased with the same account I'm still using now. The difference is that I've changed my email address. I don't have the original email address from when I made those purchases and I'm unable to authorize them. I can see that when I view info on one of these purchases the "Account Name: " has my old email address... not my iTunes or Apple account. So, if I'm authorizing my iTunes using my new email none of these older purchases will work.
I'm really curious how to fix this. I've got quite a few purchases from years back that I'd like access to, but I can't authorize using my new email/iTunes or my old email (the one used for the original purchases).
Take a look at the info and tell me if you see "Account Name:" on one of your purchases. And is that associated to your old email address? There has to be a way to fix this or 'transfer' older purchases, especially if it's all under the same real 'account'.

If you just got it back and it isn't fixed or something else is wrong with it take it back and have them do the repair correctly.

I am trying to sync Go Rock TRMS03SR Bluetooth Portable 3D Surround Speakers with my Airport Express or iTunes So I can play Music in Multiple rooms. I have a WiFi network, my living room speakers are connected directly to Airport Express.

I am trying to sync Go Rock TRMS03SR Bluetooth Portable 3D Surround Speakers with my Airport Express or iTunes So I can play Music in Multiple rooms. I have a WiFi network, my living room speakers are connected directly to Airport Express, so how can I get the wireless bluetooth speakers to play at the same time in my bedroom?

Did you ever get this to work? My guess is that the speakers are out of bluetooth range at that distance.
