Re: Sleep issue

That is how I have iTunes set up, Daniel. I am sure that Computer Sleep is the key in my case. I have several external drives and the spin down disks setting is for their benefit and my out disk with iTunes introduces a slight pause if the iMac has been idle for a long time before I go to Ap

Re: Sleep issue

On the machine we use for our “media” (and same for quite a few clients) we have iTunes set to auto open on startup and hide itself. This way iTunes is always open and ready to go, even when the computer starts up again (for whatever reason). This way it’s always there, ready to go. You can rig

Re: Sleep issue

Hi Ronni, hi Severin, Does iTunes have to be open in order to connect the ATV to contents on the iMac (music, movies etc.) On my system it has never worked without opening iTunes first. Cheers Walter **
