    To elaborate on above.  I am looking to add about 300gig of photos on an external hard drive to TC. 

     

    Once I do this I believe I can then have itunes source its photos from TC without having them stored directly on my iMac? 

     

    Then I am assuming once I keep itunes on with home sharing I can stream these photos through Apple TV?

     

    My inital problem is getting the photos onto TC in an individual folder not just a backup folder....is that possible or what would you suggest please?
