5. Enjoying and Managing Your Files in Seagate Share
To create an iTunes library that all GoFlex Home users can access:
1.
Open and log in to Seagate Share (see page 31).
2.
In the Content panel, click the GoFlex Home Public folder, then click the plus sign (+).
The New Folder window opens.
3.
Enter a name for the folder (for instance, iTunes Library), then click Create.
The new folder is created.
4.
Add songs to the new folder by dragging and dropping files into the folder.
5.
In the Content panel, move your mouse over the new folder, click the arrow that appears,
then click Share with Media Devices. (If the Share with Media Devices option is not
available, the folder is already enabled for sharing.)
6.
On your computer, open iTunes. In the Edit menu, click Preferences, then select the
Sharing tab and ensure that Look for Shared Libraries is selected.
All music files stored in your new folder appear in the iTunes SHARED > GoFlex Home:iTunes
folder. You can play these songs within iTunes, but you cannot add them to a playlist. Photos,
movies, and documents stored on GoFlex Home are not available within iTunes.
Up to five computers or media devices on your home network can play iTunes DRM (Digital
Rights Management) protected music, but an unlimited number of computers and media
devices can play iTunes Plus music or songs imported from CD.

Playing Movies and Videos

To play a movie or video stored on GoFlex Home:
1.
On The Seagate Share page, navigate to the folder that contains the movie you want to
watch.
2.
Double-click the movie file.
Seagate Share opens and plays the movie.
You can control playback by using the playback toolbar at the bottom of the screen. Click the
return icon in the toolbar to stop playback and return to the Seagate Share page.

Enjoying Your Photos

This section explains how to view your pictures and photos, start a photo slideshow, and
make one of your photos a background image for your Seagate Share Home page. It also
explains how to access Cooliris, a Web-based application for viewing photos in a 3D display
(available with a Seagate Share Pro subscription—see page 8).
