So what do you do after 160GB???

I'm in the process of ripping my movies, which will blow out of the water the 160gb limit of the AppleTV...on top of the 80 gb of music I already have synced. I can easily store all the information on my NAS, but how do I get around having to have a computer on to access the streaming content? (iTunes is pulling all the media from the NAS)

I'm confused - if you map your NAS to a network drive, and store your library on that drive, then you don't need an iTunes server for your NAS - you just need iTunes running on a laptop or desktop that uses that library on that shared drive.
Now if you want to NOT have a desktop or laptop switched on, that's a different story - but I don't know (based on responses to other posts I have scene) that anyone has got that working, even with a NAS with an iTunes server - due (I think) to the fact that NAS content is served up more like a shared library (which itunes can see, but the apple tv cannot) than another itunes instance which you can dynamically sync or stream from...
Winston, am I wrong?

  • TS3074 what do you do after you have done all of this and still have not resolved the issue?

    what do you do after you have done all of this and still have no resolved the issue? itunes still will not load, or reinstall. i have updated my computers OS to the posted above settings for Vista. still gives error code 1114. NOTE!: My itunes WORKED JUST FINE UNTIL a new update was ready for download yesterday afternoon.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    Mike & Group: It was kinda like being sent to "Macintosh **** Perdition" without Dante telling you about Purgatory & then you wake up in Paradise.
    At 02:09 a.m. my longsuffering started to abate as the actual install began & you get to click stuff like Neil Armstrong in 1969.
    Yup, it works, too! (I publicly apologize for equating Vista with anything Apple)
    Paradise was going to bed after watching over the entire process like some suburbian hen that the wife wants to eat bugs, lay eggs, leave chicken hydrocarbons, ...
    All I can say about Lion, so far, "Tastes like chicken..." (you can quote me on that.)
    Considering that I cut my GUI teeth on a Lisa, I predate the Mac.
    A lifeling relationship, it has been a good ride...

  • What do you do after the complete wipeout?

    My jailbroken iphone 3gs was recently system restored and now it's stuck on the emergency call screen. I dont have a at&t account but i do have a tmobile account. I'm such a noob at this so what do I do next cause I don't wanna accidently crash it again?

    Your phone has be re-locked to AT&T. One of the downsides to hacking an iPhone is that updating software or restoring the phone will re-lock it to the carrier it was originally locked to. You'll have to get an AT&T sim to activate the phone, otherwise you'll only be able to make emergency calls to 911.

  • LWUIT Resource Editor. what do you do after you save the resource file?

    I have read up on LWUIT and the Resource Editor/Theme Creator. I can set the Label Border to empty as I want. Then I save the file.
    But what do I do next._ I need to get the resource file into my JAR, I believe, and then activate the resource settings in my App. I have read the LWUIT doc over and over and tried a few things but I don't get it . Help.

    Thanks,
    Thanks, I was able to get that code in with a few additions as below
    Resources resource = null;
    try {
    resource = Resources.open("/MMC2_Package/MMC2.res");
    } catch (IOException ex) {
    ex.printStackTrace();
    UIManager.getInstance().setThemeProps(resource.getTheme(resource.getThemeResourceNames()[0]));
    There are no errors but it doesn't work yet. I tried to change the background colour of the command keys, as well, but no change. My resource file is called MMC2.res and I put it in the MMC2_Package directory along with the java file and some png images , one of which I am able to put in the label but it has this border that I am trying to get rid of.

  • What do you need to do to get your pictures back after you just restored your phone? it says "downloading" but wont give me any of my pictures back that i took awhile ago

    what do you need to do to get your pictures that you took awhile ago back on your iphone 4s after you just restored your phone it? it says "downloading" but wont give me any of my pictures back that i took awhile ago. I backed everythign up at the apple store while the person who helped me watched me do it. i have 1,796 pictures i took before i restored my phone, but it wont let me see them. it just says "downoading" and i will be devestated if all of my pictures are gone. please help me!

    You would have received a prompt telling you that you didn't have sufficient space to beck up your phone if that was the case.  Also, not everything on your phone is stored in the backup so you wouldn't need 11.7GB to back it up.  You can see the size of your backup by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your phone under Backups and look under Options.
    If it says "downloading" it's probably still downloading your pictures from iCoud.  Check Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup at the bottom to see the status of the restore process.

  • After upgrading to OS5 my i phone is not showing names of incoming callers in my contact directory, i can only see number of incoming caller. Is there any settings to put this right? what can you do?

    after upgrading to OS5 my i phone is not showing names of incoming callers in my contact directory, i can only see number of incoming caller. Is there any settings to put this right? what can you do?

    This started happening to me on my iPhone 4. Some text messages show only the numer they came from and those same numbers do not show the contact name in my calls list, even though the contacts are saved and synced via iCloud. I have tried to save different versions of the number in the same contact, but it won't work. If I call one of the recent numbers though, the conact comes up. I have tried reseting and restoring to no avail.
