Q: Mac mini as media sever
Good day,
I have a late 2012 mac mini that I bought back in Oct. And I have installed sever 4 on it. My questions are;
1. With the mac mini I have a 2014 Imac and a 2012 macbook pro. I have music on my laptop and movies and shows on the mini. I want to put everything on the mini. But I have read that only one mac can use Itunes at a time if I did that. I want all macs in my home to be able to watch what they want when they want. What can I do to make this work?
2. How do I set up sever 4? For some reason I just can't get it and I am a mac user for 12yrs. But first time trying to use sever.
3. I have about 800gigs on media and growing, so with that in mind can a usb drive work with the mini for what I need? And all macs are running 10.10.2
I have tried looking up what I need but, get lost. This will be for home only, nothing else. Thanks Scott.
MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9.5), ssd, 768 gig
