Perfect since. Thanks for breaking it down for me.

Hi, It depends on what media you're trying to access. If you wish to access the media within an iTunes Library that resides on one of your Home Sharing computers, then iTunes on that computer must be turned on. If you simply wish to access iTunes purchased content or content that you have in iCloud through iTunes Match, then iTunes does not need to be turned on on the Mac. Remember, though, that when you're accessing or streaming music through iCloud, that counts towards your data usage. If your ISP or your contract limits this data usage, then it is better to stream from your internal network and only access from the Cloud when downloading media content. Does this make sense?

Hi, First,as mentioned by Daniel, make sure that all Libraries on your Macs and ATVs have all been added to your Home Sharing network. I'm guessing that this has most likely been done since you have been using your Apple TV to access content from your Mac. Now, youneed to download the Remote app from the iTunes Store onto your iPhone. Once downloaded, open it and you can then connect to various iTunes Libraries such as the one on your Apple TV or, actually, even the ones on any Macs within your Home Sharing network. Just use iPhone gestures on the iPhone to access and manipulate the media within the desired Library. So, what you basically can do is control the media playback of your Apple TV or any iTunes Library that is open on any Mac within your Home Sharing network. HTH. Later...

I tried to understand how I would go about this through these emails, but I got lost. Where would I get started. I'd appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction. All this time I haven't been using the apple TV because I can't figure out how to use the remote that came with the apple TV device. I just ask the kids to do it for me.
