Status information includes the version of the DLNA software, the date and time
your settings were updated, and the number of music tracks, pictures, and
videos that were streamed.
8. For DLNA to look for only updated music and picture files on your drive, click the
Rescan button below the table.
9. For DLNA to read all of the music and picture files on your drive, click the
Rebuild button below the table. Rebuilding is more thorough than re-scanning
but can take more time.
Note: Re-scanning and rebuilding take place automatically. You only need to use the
buttons if you are having a problem.
iTunes
You or anyone connected to the My Book Live 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
My Book Live device to Windows or Mac computers running iTunes.
Note: ITunes 10.4 or later only supports music files. See Knowledge Base Answer
ID 8412 for additional information on ITunes supported versions.
The iTunes Media Server supports the following file types:
 AAC
 MP3
 WAV
 MPEG-4
Note: Tunes scans any shares that have the Media Serving setting enabled,
including the Public share by default.
To enable iTunes:
1. On the Navigation panel of the My Book Live dashboard, click Settings, and
then click the Media tab.
