Hi,
Complete novice here in using LANs, external hard drives etc. Not even sure what I want to do is possible.
So I have an external hard drive connected to wifi router, an old MacBook Pro and a new MacBook Air. I have successfully backed-up my MacBook Pro to one partition of the hard drive using Time Machine and have also manually transferred all of of my photos and my iTunes library to another partition on the hard drive. Together the GBs are too much to store locally on my MacBook Air. I can access the iTunes files and photos in my MBA manually through the wireless connection to the hard drive in Finder but is there a way that I can get iTunes and iPhoto themselves to look at the hard drive by default?
Is there a way that I can also access these libraries virtually whenever I am connected to wifi on my MBA away from home also?
Thank you in advance.
Steven
