Not for me. I don't want it. But OS/X won't let me uninstall it - at
least not permanently. Ergo, Apple think this is their computer, not
mine.

Huge, type:
"I want to fucking *ANNIHILATE* fucking iTunes forever and ever and
ever without its bloody rotting, stinking corpse *EVER* showing up at
or even within miles of my door ever again as I am sick and tired of
the shitty software and its fucking zombie tactics"
into your favourite online search engine and you will have sight of
*loads* of sites cited that have sited on their sites instructions for
removing iTunes.
At least one of the comp.mac.* newsgroups had a long thread about it
sometime fairly recently.
Uhh, you *may* wish to shorten your search key and perhaps tone down
the language a little, but that's up to your personal taste, of
course.

The only possible issue with iTunes is that AppleTV seems to like
your network having a copy somewhere and AppleTV's remote actives
iTunes when you're trying to watch Netflix. This can cause great
hilarity on your Macbook.
It won't do any damage, usually, but it sometimes does try to run
things on the Mac.
That's easily fixed by telling the Mac to ignore the remote, or by
not having the Mac in line with it or by any of a dozen other methods
and it's not a great issue anyway but it *is* there.
And maybe it irks some sensitive souls.
*I* think it's funny.
The safest way of avoiding this "problem" is, obviously, not having
an AppleTV but I saw one for not much pounds so I bought it. It's one
more toy to amuse me.

Mine doesn't.
Or at least I don't *think* it will. It only sees the NAS drive if I
activate iTunes on the Macbook.
It only sees the *Macbook* if I activate iTunes.
Okay, so maybe I'm not set up properly but what I have is what I
have. Maybe I'll fiddle when I get bored. Maybe someone wise and kind
will suggest a simple toggle I can click?

Yes, I mentioned that.
Strangely, I also mentioned that it is the *only* problem I've found
with iTunes and that it is *minor* and *trivial*. I don't really
understand why so many others dislike leaving iTunes on their box and
just not running it, but maybe simple things like this do annoy some
sensitive souls.
People can be weird.

Yes, but it is *safe*. :)

True enough. I thought I had mentioned that?

Of course it does. Apple doesn't force anyone to install iTunes on a computer. If you have no need for iTunes, don't use it.

I think it would be pretty silly to expect the AppleTV to magically see all hard drives connected to your computers with no software in place to make the content available to the AppleTV. You can use iTunes to stream content from a computer to your AppleTV. This doesn't translate into AppleTV "liking" you to have iTunes - a better way to word it is *you* like to have iTunes installed somewhere so you can stream content from a computer to your AppleTV. > It only sees the *Macbook* if I activate iTunes.

That's how my ancient WD Live worked, but it's not how Kodi works at
all. I make sure my audio material is properly "tagged" and Kodi
respects those tags (I can also turn that feature off). Kodi goes out
and finds ("scrapes" is the jargon) all the metadata for an album and/or
artist, including track-lists and descriptions and album art. All I
have to do is point Kodi at the relevant volume, and say "this is music"
(or, "this is tv shows" or "this is movies"). It gives me a good choice
of "scapers" too, in case one of them has never heard of Exile on Main
Street ...
There's a Kodi for OS X; you should try it out. It's free. When I was
recuperating from a minor operation, I dragged the MBP into the bedroom
and turned on Kodi and watched movies and swallowed percs for a week.

Why should I try it out? My current setup with an AppleTV and a Mac mini
attached to an NAS holding all of my media allows me to browse all of my
media intelligently rather than using a file system, and doesn't require
any third-party apps like Kodi.

AppleTV does not support just about *anything*. It won't even play
AVI files, of which I have lots.
Basically, it is a very restrictive piece of kit, but it was cheap
and it's a new toy so I'm not whining.
But JR is being disingenuous. It *must* have iTunes running somewhere
of only the AppleTV box itself shows. *Wiht* iTunes it can become a
very poor, very restrictive networked device.
JR *knows* this but he's reluctant, for some strange reason to admit
that any Apple product has *any* flaw. Even when they are obvious,
glaring and bloody annoying.
Which some are.

I don't find it restrictive at all. Must be you. > But JR is being disingenuous. It *must* have iTunes running somewhere > of only the AppleTV box itself shows. That sentence doesn't even make sense. And it is you who are being disingenuous. Again, iTunes is *not* required. AppleTV works just fine without iTunes. That said, if you want to stream content from a comupter, iTunes is the way to do it. But certainly not all of AppleTV is based on streaming content from computers. There are *many* more features that than in AppleTV. > *Wiht* iTunes it can become a very poor, very restrictive networked device. More bullshit. It works fine. Your nebulous "poor" and "restrictive" descriptions don't match my experience with my AppleTVs. > JR *knows* this but he's reluctant, for some strange reason to admit > that any Apple product has *any* flaw.

The Apple TV is used to display content on a television. If you don't want that, then you don't need it, nor a Roku, etc.
