Use time capsule for iTunes library

Look at "More Like This" on the right column.. this is asked all the time.

The TC is highly unsuited to being used this way.

You will have continuing issues as the TC is slow to respond, takes time for the disk to spin up .. during which itunes will fail to find the library.

Even more critical .. there is no backup.. TC cannot back itself up. TM cannot backup network drives.

If you are desperate to do this we generally recommend a external drive and then TC just used as backup..

If that is inconvenient then a computer running as server in the network.

If you still want to go ahead.. see apple info to move library.

The Time Capsule was designed for your backups, not for everyday or "original" copies of files or folders. It is not a media server.

The smart move would be to get another hard drive and connect it to your Mac. Move the iTunes library to that hard drive.

Then, Time Machine will back up both your Mac and the hard drive to the Time Capsule.

iTunes will run just as fast as if it were on your Mac.....and more importantly....you will have backups for both your Mac and the important data on the hard drive on the Time Capsule.

Note that having the "key" will not help a bit if you are trying to connect a wireless device that does not want to see apostrophes, dollar signs, asterisks, and any other special character.

Change the name of your wireless network to something that uses only normal letters and numbers, with no spaces. Do not exceed 20 characters.

Same rule for password.
