    I have a Mac Mini with all of my ripped CD’s connected via Home Sharing to my ATV3. I can find this music under “Computers->Music.” I have also purchased many songs from iTunes and those songs and albums are listed under “Music->Purchased.” Is there a way to find all my music under one header?

    20GB used??

    I have seen it first on Xcode and then I downloaded a free app (Disc Space?) from the App Store. I have a dozen apps installed and 20GB are already gone? I understand the OS can take quite some space, but isn't it a bit too much? Is it possible that it's due to the many log files? I always...

    Apple TV app availability

    Does anyone know if the Apple TV App will ever be available like... worldwide? Because where I am right now it doesn't seem to exist. I've searched the App Store on the Apple TV and iPhone and there's no sign of the TV app. I even changed my location to United States and still no TV App.
