Streaming iTunes library through ps3

Imac 27 intel with 10.8. Have a LaCie cloud box plugged in to AirPort Extreme. Want to be able to stream and shuffle my entire iTunes library through the PS3.
It connected, able to stream music and Iwas able to shuffle each album but not entire library. When I selected the artist folder, able to shuffle those randomly. When I tried again later from that same folder, noticed the previously shuffled music, each song, was listed and the playback followed that list in order and would not shuffle.
This may not be the item I need, perhaps the wdc MyBook live would work better?
PS3 support not able to help much and LaCie suggested copying the library to a playlist on the PS3 and trying it that way, hopeful it might randomly shuffle the library.
Anyone have this issue with PS3 or the LaCie box? Any ideas or suggestions? Would the WDC work any differently? Told the Mac has to be on for Apple TV to work, which I don't want.
Thanks.

You can move the itunes library to the TC.. use the normal apple instructions for moving the library.
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support
BUT.. 2. You cannot stream from the TC.. the TC is a dumb as a board hard disk in a router. No media extensions.. no clue whatsoever.
So this makes it just one more item in the network to slow you down.
You still need a computer running iTunes.. to stream to apple TV. And this is a problem because if you use wireless it will try to stream in both directions..
TC--Computer.. Computer--TC.. TC.. ATV. And that is unlikely to work very well.
So at least the link to the computer should be ethernet.

I cannot access my iTunes library through other mac applications like iPhoto.

Since I've updated to 10.5 I cannot access to my iTunes library through other Mac applications like for instance iPhoto.
The application says that my itunes library is idle.
Also my screen saver used to show my albums covers yet now it doesn't show anything but n error message attestng that my library doesn't contain any album cover.
Can someone give me a clue since my library contains a cover for each song and is synchronizes with iTunes match?
Thank you for ANY help!

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Can you add items to your iPad from your iTunes library through home sharing?

Sorry I'm a novice to this.
Say I have a video in my iTunes library and I would like to add it to my iPad so I can watch it when I'm not at home without hooking the iPad up to my PC and syncing.
Can I do this through home sharing?
Thanks

Sorry, I miss-typed in my previous post. I meant to say you can't use homesharing to transfer content. (dictation got it wrong, but I should have checked). In order to transfer content from your iTunes library to your iPad, you would need to connect it to your computer via USB or Wi-Fi if you have Wi-Fi syncing enabled.
To enable Wi-Fi syncing you must first connect your iPad to your computer with the USB cable and then turn Wi-Fi syncing on in the settings within iTunes.

Can't access iTunes Library through iPhoto

Hi,
Since I've updated iTunes to 10.5 I can't access it's library using iPhoto. I've created a Slideshow in iPhoto and as I tried do add some music to it iPhoto tells me to run iTunes so it can access its music, yet itunes was actually running and there is no way to access its library through iPhoto.
Futhermore I used to use iTunes albums cover arts as a screen saver. Now I've got a black screen saver with the message that no cover art is present in iTunes though ALL of the present albums have their cover and it perfectly worked before updating to 10.5.
I'm running Lion OSX and also use Beatunes and Tangerine to complete my iTunes library.
Has somebody had the same problem? What can I do to fix this?
Thanks for any help!

Doesn't play songs purchased on iTunes either,
probably because of the copyright infringement
issues.
It does. You'll need the latest version of iTunes
and the latest version of Quicktime for this
to work.

Gotcha! It's the QT holding me up them. I have QT Pro and I don't want to update because then I have to PAY again for the Pro part. I learned that the hard way. What a rip off on their part for the users of their Pro version.

Stream iTunes Library to iPhone4 that doesn't require OS 10.5?

Greetings,
Is there a service that will stream music from my iTunes library on my old G5 Mac to my iPhone that DOESN'T require OS 10.5? (My Mac uses 10.4.10, and I really don't want to upgrade.) I used to use SimplifyMedia, but now Google has bought them, so I can't reinstall the app on my iPhone4.
Both AudioGalaxy and Zumo require 10.5. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks!

the software I downloaded to be able to use my palm was the 421Revd.dmg off the HP site. It has lots of data on it about the Bakery. After a bit of time on the internet, learned that is a game.
I just want to be able to use my Palm - what is the story? thoughts?

Least expensive way to stream Itunes library

I've been struggling for months with an older and unstable Windows laptop on which resides my Itunes library. I've constantly had issues with ATV dropping signal when attached to this box wirelessly. I've determined it's the computer, not the network or the ATV.
so now I want to replace it with something that I can rely on and scale upwards significantly. (Maybe 500GB or so). What would be the best and least costly way to do this? One suggestion I've heard is to use a PS3? Another is to get an inexpensive Mac or PC with external hard drive. It needs to be wireless as the ATV is connected to my AVR wired and I don't know how I would interface it to the receiver if it was moved to where I could hook it up to my "media control center" via wire.

PS3 would be a non-starter I think.
The PS3 itself couldn't serve media to AppleTv.
Perhaps you could install Yellow Dog Linux but I doubt any Linux iTunes variants would be up to the task or serving everything to AppleTV 2.
You could probably buy a cheap Windows box for the cost of a PS3 and use a USB2 drive for your library if needed. Also consider a MacMini or a Macbook.

Video app hangs on loading iTunes Library through Home Sharing

Hello,
On my 4th gen iPad I try loading my iTunes Library, which is on a mid-2011 iMac. Home Sharing is configured and working, but when loading my library it hangs during load. See attached screenshot. The library is huge, but that shouldn't be a problem right?

Apple TV Airtunes vs. Apple TV streaming iTunes library

What is the difference? What is the advantage? I stopped using my Airport Express (for Airtunes) once I connected my Apple TV, because I liked having the visual interface. So why is everyone excited about the Apple TV's functionality with Airtunes? Isn't that a step backward?
Someone please help me understand the advantages/disadvantages. I haven't downloaded the update yet and thus I am confused. Thanks.

Streaming: your laptop or desktop can play music through the Apple TV setup, but not through its own speakers or speakers connected to it. And it can stream photos. Plus you have to set up each machine in advance to authorize it to stream. Most useful if you have one computer whose material is already on the ATV and another from which you occasionally like to access music and photos (in my case, my wife's laptop).
AirTunes: with no prior authorization (though you can password protect if you wish), any computer running iTunes can simultaneously play music through your ATV and its own or connected speakers in another room. But no photos. Useful if you want music in two places at once and want to use the computer to control what's playing. Easiest way to have a "guest" computer play music through your ATV.
Hope this helps,

Apple TV-playing itunes library through TV speakers

I have just installed apple TV-initially it showed as an alternative speaker in my itunes so that I could play my "unsynced" tunes through the TV speakers-now it seems to have disappeared leaving just the "computer" as the only speaker option....what do i do to get the ATV option back?

ok..I've restarted my Router and Under my Itunes Preference I can't seem to Find The setting for Air Tunes. Other then a Complete factory Resetting what else do I need to do to correct this? It was an Option Once But Now it's Not.

Can you stream iTunes library from Time Capsule to a MacBook if you're connected to the internet anywhere in the world?

I want to buy a MacBook Air but the flash storage means not enough space for all my movies and music. Instead of carrying around an extra harddrive, I'd rather make the Time Capsule my external harddrive. Most of the time when I access it it will be from my house, but say I'm just out and about and connected to the internet...assuming my Time Capsule is on, can I use it as basically a cloud device and stream my iTunes movies and music to my computer?

Probably not unless you have a super speed internet connection.. most people on adsl have 1mbit upload connection or less. you cannot stream movies over 1mbit.. I doubt you can even stream music. Actual throughput is only 800kbit/s...
That is why you store things in the cloud.. you download speed from cloud is much high than upload to it.
That is unless you have a super high speed, fibre connection to your home??
It is certainly possible.. if you have enough bandwidth.. 99.999% of people don't.

HP Envy dv4t (Windows 8) can't pick up Dell's (Windows Vista) iTunes library through home sharing, but the Dell can pick up HP's

I just got an HP Envy dv4t and it runs windows 8. My desktop, which is a Dell windows vista has all of my music on it. I'm trying to use home sharing between the two, but my HP won't pick up my dell's library, but my dell will pick up my HP's. I've tried everything imaginable and still no luck. At first, my HP would pick up my Dell library but it wouldn't load. Now it doesn't even have the library under Home Sharing. Please help!

I have been having exactly the same problem with my Fujitsu vista running desktop and my new Toshiba running windows 8

Will iOS 5 still stream iTunes music through a 'Shared' music

After upgrading to iOS 5, I haven't been able to find how to stream music from my Macbook to my iPhone 4 over wi-fi. I know in iOS 4 the option was in the iPod app, under 'Shared.' Can anybody help me find that in iOS 5? Thank

Everything that's known (or can be discussed) about iOS 5 is on the Apple web pages. If you don't see it there, you won't find out about it here. You'll have to wait until Wednesday when it's released.

Moving iTunes library from PC to Mac and running through an external HD?

I recently made the switch from a PC to my beautiful Macbook pro and I'm having some issues with my external hard drive. For the past few years I've been running my large iTunes library through an external hard drive, even switching hard drives and everything's worked perfectly. However I can't work out if it's possible or how to load the same library on my mac, I've just tried to open the library file but it says it is locked.
I feel I am missing a vital step... I'm just not sure what it is! Any help would be fantastic, losing my playlists and play counts after so long is just not an option!
I'm not sure if this is relevant, but the external hard drive is also ridiculously slow on the mac.

connected by ethernet cable to the same network, on the other hand, will work.
I have been working with a large library on external drives myself and have run into numerous challenges with file format conversion, album artwork, import & export... etc.
i keep my library on a 2 TB external firewire drive and it works rather well. what kind of challenges do you mean ?
I am wondering if there is a way for him to use his PC library on the Mac and preserve all the information that is so valuable.
the reads i linked above may be helpful.
That is why I suggested the FAT 32 partition as I know it works on both.
true, but FAT32 has a +4 GB-per-file+ limit. a HD movie can easily exceed that limit and thus won't be copied. instead, one could format the drive for Mac and install MacDrive on the PC. or, format the drive NTFS and install the _*NTFS 3G*_ driver on the Mac.
