Geekdom...

I have figured out how to use my Time Machine (1TB) wireless HD as an external and also how to network my Itunes account to pick up the Time Machine for all my music/movies etc...:):):) This will allow me a TON more storage :):):) JOY!!! now the only problem would come in if we ran out of storage on the 1TB??? hmmm...right now that's a long way off...but still...

I suppose if that happened I could get an expansion for the HD? or maybe redirect where all files are found in????

4 right now though...it means my measly lil computer with only 60GB of space just expanded to a TB and me and Brandon can BOTH sync to it...although I'm not messing with his compy without talking with him 1st! LOL!!!

***geekily accomplished!***
------

For Those that want to do it:
1) set up time machine
2) Drag Itunes folder to time machine
3) set itunes preferences and change location of folder to the time machine
4) backup computer to time machine (to be safe)
5) delete all itunes music/files on main computer (Itunes should now be reading the time machine for the library info)
6) you may have some songs doubled due to the library and the time machine transfer...delete any duplicates and your good to go
7) if more than one computer in house wants access to these songs...reset their accounts to find the folder repeating above steps...
((may have to redelete duplicate songs))
8) once set up all downloads/music will read off the time machine and free up laptops/desktops:):):)
