I'm mostly looking to load all my photos from my iPhone and iPad onto this computer. Would this work? And also, is this good for netflix, spotify etc?

if you want to use the newest iPhoto you should consider a 2009 or newer notebook also make certain the hard drive is large enough

It will work but I strongly suggest a more up to date Mac Book. I brought this computer when I was in Afghanistan

Not really. It's not a backup device - in particular, there is no software that really serves that purpose. If you want to manually offload pictures from those devices, it will work for that, but you'll have to select the photos to copy. It's more meant as a way to consume content from a USB drive or SD card.

What are you trying to use it for? It worked fine with my 4s. I used it for netflix and YouTube mainly.

If you are interested in the streaming aspect then yes - otherwise I don't see a need to. You have plenty of memory and tuners. We upgraded because we only had 2 tuners and not enough memory and I really wanted to be able to stream to my IPAD anywhere. I think that is the main benefit.

It is fast and light. The capacity of a regular click wheel is so much better of course with an 160 gbs. This is great for the apps andthe camera like a minion ipad. So if you want only a music player, the capacity is not fullfilling, unless you use icloud. In general, i think it is worth it.

I was able to stream to my Asus I play player and smart tv. The device was slow because the media scanner was constantly running and taking 90% of the resources. I recommend buying a synology nas instead for media and everything else. The OS is much better an the apps to stream to smart TVs and iPad/android are better. WD is not fully baked.

I used it for Netflix for certain. It's been a long time now and I don't recall all the details. Also, these kinds of devices often change services over time, so the service mix is probably different now. As a note of caution, the service providers develop for each platform individually. The software on this box will not be the same software you use on other devices, and in fact is probably going to be very clunky and minimally functional.

I get some sound but it isn't very good. I tried to download directly from the camera, but it was so slow I gave up. I take the card out and stick it in my computer, works great. I have not been able to directly load to my Ipad, even with video converter app that should work. Only the first 5 seconds of a video shows, then stops.

I stream from the cloud from all my internet capable idevices but for photos, connecting it to my PC(via wifi) is better for some reason

Yes it's for external hard drives that are up to 4tbs.It's for android and apple devices. For iPads only pics and video that you take on the device.For android all pics and videos and documents you download from websites or take.

There is no problem with the HD, in fact you are able to put all the pictures, music and videos possible according with the capacity. But when you try to connect the device wireless with your Ipad, Iphone or Android it only shows sometimes the music, maybe... never the videos. Thera are really serious issues with the software on the app that made me return the device and get a refund.

I bought this to run OpenELEC and it seems to struggle if you have a very large video/music library or use a artistic focused skin. I think that it needs a but more but for Netflix in HD it should work, that application would be simple and not complex enough to bog it down.

You need speakers. It will display the image, and sound from your iPhone, iPad. If you want it louder, speakers are recommended.

There are apps which can play almost all formats on iPhone, iPad. Just make sure that these can also access network drives. Personally I use PlayerExtreme.

Absolutely!! This would be a perfect way to see if you'd like a mac! It has itunes for music, and iphoto for pictures.
