Hi everyone. I'm new to Apple products and looking for some advice, or a point in the right direction. I'm looking for the best way to use iTunes with either a MBP or external hard drive, across multiple devices.
My boyfriend and I got an Apple TV 2 and iPad 2 for Christmas. We also have a Mac Book Pro, an iPhone 3GS, and a 1TB external hard drive with media stored on it. We can move the media to the MBP if that is the best way to stream from itunes. We want to be able to stream our library to the atv2, the ipad, the iphone.
(Also, can we stream our media to the iPad and iPhone from other locations via wifi?)
Is there a way to stream from iTunes without going thru the MBP? Ideally we want to just use the external hard drive. We could also get a wifi hard drive. But we don't want the MBP on all day.
We have a fast home and wireless-n network. What is the ideal setup here? Thanks in advance.
