Hi there, I'm new to mac rumors forum but a long time lover of all things apple.....
Here is what I would like to achieve, I just wanted to see if there is anyone out there who can put it in simple terms for me... Please
OK so I have:
MacBook Pro - wirelessly connects to our BT home hub to go online
iMac desktop - ditto above
iPhone - ditto above
TV - links to either computer
I have my iTunes library stored on both computers separately (so it's kind of a backup if one should fail), all of my photos in iPhoto store separately (again like a backup). My files and documents are all stored on mobile me so I access them that way which always works wonderfully well
However, what I would like to achieve is that all my photos and music are on one drive which I can connect to each computer (wirelessly) so if I want to listen to some music I can do it on either and I don't have to spend hours transferring between the two or regularly updating photos in both places just so I have the same information.
Equally I still want to be able to watch things on Apple TV and occasionally when we go away take some music & photos with me.
I'm looking at products like Time Capsule and Airport and am just very confused about what I need!! - the BT home hub works fine and all of our technology (printer, DVD player, computers, iphones) all connect perfectly to it so I'm mindful that I don't want to create more problems than I'm solving!
Anyway, any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Tim
