Accessing Your Personal Cloud Using iTunes
You or anyone connected to the WD My Cloud Mirror device can use iTunes to play stored
music files. This service creates a virtual music library on the device and treats it as an iTunes
repository, making it possible to stream music files from the WD My Cloud Mirror device to
Windows or Mac computers running iTunes. For a list of supported media types, see “Media
Types Supported” on page 97.
Note: iTunes 10.4 or later only supports music files. See Knowledge Base
Answer ID 8412 for additional information on iTunes supported versions.
Note: iTunes scans any shares that have the Media Serving setting enabled,
including the Public share by default.
You can drag and drop media files into the corresponding folders in the Public share (e.g.,
music files into the WDMyCloudMirror/Public/Shared Music default share).
Streaming Media in iTunes
iTunes is enabled by default in the dashboard. See “Enabling iTunes” on page 100 for more
information on configuring iTunes.
1. Launch iTunes on your computer.
2. Click WDMyCloudMirror under the Shared section of the left pane. If you have copied
music to the /Public/Shared Music folder or a video to/Public/Shared Videos, and it is in
a format supported by iTunes, it is listed in the right pane.
3. Double-click a media file you’d like to play.
