First I'm not a newbie, but at the same time not anexpert. I'm also not a fanboy of any product or operating system. I currently carry an Ipad, Iphone and use an Airport extreme. Ihave several laptops but am trying to decrease what I have. My thought is to buy a Time Capsule 2TB for storage, A Macbook air 13"(may wait until new model released). Con't with my Iphone and Ipad.
1. I want to start backing up all my movies DVD and BR to the Time Capsule. How time consuming is it to transfer these to the Time Capsule over WiFI?
2. Since All of the movies will be backed up to the time capsule, Can I use the Ipad, Iphone, or Macbookair to play them through an Apple TV? Or would I have to transfer back to the Macbook or Ipad/Iphone? Can the Apple TV access any files and play directly?
3. Along those same lines, if the movies, also any photos or music that are stored on the Time Capsule, can they be synced to the Ipad or Iphone for travel or is this too time consuming?
Forgot to mention will also use Win 7 running at the same time with one of those programs like parrallels. Some of my work stuff uses windows so need it.
I wlecome any comments or education.
