Accessing Your WD Cloud Device Using iTunes

You or anyone connected to the WD Cloud 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 Cloud device to Windows or Mac
computers running iTunes. For a list of supported media types, See "Media Types
Supported" on page 55.
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 WDCloud/Public/Shared Music default share).
Streaming Media in iTunes
iTunes is enabled by default in the dashboard. See "Enabling iTunes" on page 57 for more
information on configuring iTunes.
1. Launch iTunes on your computer.
2. Click WDCloud 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.
