Streaming Content
When you stream content, it isn’t stored on Apple TV. Streaming carries the content
over your local network while you watch or listen to it. You can browse all of your
content, no matter how large an iTunes library you have.
You can stream content from up to five iTunes libraries on your local network, in
addition to the iTunes library Apple TV is synced with. However, you can stream from
only one iTunes library at a time.
To stream content to Apple TV:
1
Open iTunes on the computer you want to stream from.
2
On Apple TV, choose Sources from the main menu.
3
Choose “Connect to New iTunes” and make a note of the passcode displayed.
4
In iTunes, select the Apple TV icon with “Click to set up” next to it.
5
Enter the passcode.
While content is being streamed, the computer must remain on and iTunes must
remain open.
