Backup My Mediashare P Y; Working With Backup My Mediashare - Verbatim MediaShare User Manual

The media player must support the UPnP-AV, DLNA or Windows Media Connect standard. Media players include gaming consoles (Xbox 360
and PS3), digital photo frames, iTunes clients, IP televisions, networked sound systems (Sonos, Logitech), digital video players (Roku, NETGEAR
Digital Entertainer, DLink DSM), and many more. To share folder with media players, select the folder, display the menu, and then select Share
with DMA. All its subfolders will be shared as well. To stop a folder from sharing with media players, select the folder, display the menu, and
then select Unshare with DMAs. You can then enable or disable sharing for its individual subfolders. Note that fi les are shared with media
players if they are in a folder or album with sharing enabled?
iTunes
Computers can use iTunes to access music stored in the iTunes library on the MediaShare. These iTunes clients must be connected to the same
home network as the MediaShare. They cannot access the iTunes library remotely across the Internet.
1. Adding songs to the iTunes library
The iTunes server can stream music from the iTunes library to the iTunes clients on your home network. The iTunes server can run on either
the host computer or the MediaShare. Adding songs to the iTunes library makes them available to the iTunes clients. To add songs to the
iTunes library, fi rst move the music fi les to subfolders within FamilyLibrary > FamilyMusic. After moving the music fi les, ensure the folder
is shared. Select the FamilyMusic folder, and display the menu. If the Unshare with DMA command is displayed, the folder is shared. If the
Share with DMA command is available, select it.
2. Confi guring an iTunes client
Confi guring an iTunes client ensures it will look for shared libraries, including the FamilyMusic folder on the MediaShare. To confi gure an
iTunes client, choose Edit > Preferences, and then select the Sharing tab. Ensure Look for shared libraries is selected.
3. Playing songs with an iTunes client
Music fi les stored on the MediaShare appear in the SHARED > MediaShare:iTunes folder. You can play these songs within iTunes, but you
cannot add them to a playlist. Pictures, videos and documents stored on the MediaShare are not available within iTunes. Up to fi ve iTunes
clients on your home network (i.e., computers and media players) can play iTunes DRM-protected music, but an unlimited number of
iTunes clients can play iTunes Plus music or songs imported from CD. To play music, select the MediaShare:iTunes folder, and then double-
click the song. The idea is to take all the music fi les on all the computers, move them to MediaShare > FamilyLibrary > FamilyMusic; and
have them all accessible through each computer's iTunes program.
FTP
You can upload and download fi les from your MediaShare using FTP (fi le transfer protocol). FTP provides access to your MyLibrary folders. If
your account has access, FTP also provides access to the FamilyLibrary folders. The router must forward port 21 to the MediaShare. This is set
up automatically if the router has UpnP enabled. FTP must be enabled in Preferences > Server Preferences > Network Services. Set Enable
FTP access to your local LAN and Enable FTP access to the Internet to Yes.
To connect via FTP locally, browse to ftp://[MediaShare IP Address]. You can get the IP address of the MediaShare by right-clicking the
MediaShare Agent icon, selecting Preferences, and then selecting the Home Library(s) Found tab. To connect remotely, browse to
ftp://[MediaShare Name].myverbatim.com. When logging in, the user name and password are case-sensitive.
