I'm giving my son Apple TV for Christmas and I want him to have everything I have on my hard drive. Here's a map of what I'm thinking:

1. I have all my music and I've burned most of my movies into my itunes. Each individual movie has a name on the hard drive. Like "wizard.mp4"

2. In my itunes library, I have listed it as "Wizard Of Oz. Classic ..

3. My itunes is pointed to a 1 T Ext drive where all of this lives.

4. I watch these on my Apple TV

5. I'm giving my son an Apple TV for Christmas.

6. I want to copy my Ext drive to a separate NEW Ext drive, that he will get.

So...if I just copy my drive, I think he will get only the hard drive name "wizard.mp4"

I want him to access, MY itunes listings so he'll see "Wizard Of Oz."

The plan is for him to have, everything I have.

How can I do that? Do I copy the hard drive AND the itunes files?

Does this make sense? I hope so...it's a great idea.

I know this is a lot. Thanks for reading and thanks for the help.
