Hi Tim, We already have home-sharing turned on. We were thinking that it would be cool to store our movies on a drive that connects wirelessly to my MBA. but I suppose if we have to use a standard portable drive, that isn't the end of the world. But it does raise another question or two. Can I set up iTunes so that only the movies in my library are stored on a portable drive? And if I do that, will iTunes be messed up when that drive isn't connected? Thanks, Donna On Feb 3, 2013, at 11:09 AM, Tim Kilburn <[email protected]> wrote:
