- HOW TO CONNECT TO SYNOLOGY NAS WITH PLEX MEDIA SERVER MAC TV
The only way to access all your media from your ipad/iPhone is to use non-Apple apps. This of course means that you cannot access all your music/videos from your iPad/iPhone if you have a large volume of media as it will not all fit. However, to access your music and videos on apple devices through the native apps you still need to synchronise via iTunes so it will copy the files to your device. The downside to tis approach is that everything is stored on the NAS and not my laptop, but the upside to this is that everything is stored on the NAS and not my laptop ) By doing this it means that the iTunes folder where iTunes stores it's database, apps, music, videos, etc will be on the NAS instead of on my local PC. Note that this is different to just adding a folder to the library. The approach I have taken is to change the setting in iTunes on my laptop to point directly to the folder on my NAS drive where I store all my music. And as you may have already gathered from this thread, there appears to be o point whatsoever in the iTunes server.
You experience is almost exactly the same as mine and you are asking the exact same question. Is there anyone out there who agrees? Or are there people out there successfully using an iTunes Server on anything other than a Mac or PC?ĭon't worry, you posted your question in exactly the right place.
And I am wondering what on earth is the point in having an iTunes Server? It appears that I have been very naive in assuming that Apple devices would be able to connect to an Apple iTunes server.

If I have to tur my PC on to access the content on my NAS drive then I might as well use m PC to access it, so why have I bought an iPad and Apple TV? The only option Apple provide is Home Sharing, but that means that I have turn my PC on and leave it on just to access content stored on the NAS drive, which is ridiculous. However, I really want to access all my content from my iPad and Apple TV, but Apple just doesn't seem to want to allow that. From my PC I can just point iTunes at the directory on the NAS drive where the music, videos, etc, is stored, so there really is no need to connect iTunes on my PC to the iTunes server. I understand that I can connect my PC to the iTunes server, but as I have no need to I've not even tried.

I have an iTunes server running on a NAS drive (Synology), but since I cannot connect my iPad or Apple TV to it I am wondering what on earth is the point in it?
