So I thought I was smart with computers, but this one I really don't have the answers to and I've looked for it. If there is already a thread about this, please let me know.
My MBP is about out of hard drive space and it is mostly due to all the music I have on it. My question is, can I use my Airport Extreme Base Station Model A1143 USB port to connect a 2.0 USB external hard drive to and access it wirelessly from my MBP? Or is this port something that I can only use things like printers for? I read on the box that the new Airport Extreme Base Station can have an external hard drive plugged into the USB port, but my model is a little older. If this is not possible then I guess I will have to fork over the cash for an ethernet external hard drive.
Ok so here is the second part of my question. Whether I use an external hard drive wirelessly vie ethernet or USB (if I can) am I able to move all of my music to the external hard drive and still be able to access it from iTunes on my MBP and have it play like it normally would? I am told that you can create and "air" library from iTunes, but that is all about the information I know about it.
Ok that's all, I hope I can get some help on here.
Hopefully I have explained it all well enough to get the answers I am looking for, if not let me know where I've messed up!
Thanks in advance!
