I have two questions: 1. how do configure itunes library to reside on time capsule? 2. how do I then stream music and video from time capsule onto apple tv, macbook air, ipad, etc.?

You can move the itunes library to the TC.. use the normal apple instructions for moving the library.

BUT.. 2. You cannot stream from the TC.. the TC is a dumb as a board hard disk in a router. No media extensions.. no clue whatsoever.


So this makes it just one more item in the network to slow you down.


You still need a computer running iTunes.. to stream to apple TV. And this is a problem because if you use wireless it will try to stream in both directions..


TC--Computer.. Computer--TC.. TC.. ATV. And that is unlikely to work very well.


So at least the link to the computer should be ethernet.
