I wonder if there is a way to access your media collection (music, TV, movies, etc,) directly from a network drive rather than via i-Tunes? Thanks! Jerry Michels

If you are using home sharing then you need your computer on and running iTunes. If you have a drive that supports airplay that would be the only other way.

OK, thanks. I am using home sharing. I wonder about using Airplay. I have a 3TB Seagate network drive. Would there be a way to enable it?
One more unrelated question perhaps you or someone else could answer. I ahve a current problem where Apple TV keeps asking for my Apple ID and Password. It accepts the ID, but will not accept the Password even though i-Tunes, my i-Phones, and an i-Pad do. Very frustrating!!!
Thanks again.

The drive would need to support it or have an app that could access it and then pass it via airplay.
As for the other, try a reboot and if it persists reset. May need to contact iTunes as well.
Do you have to have i-Tunes running to use Apple TV? Coul dyou access your media on a network drive?
