Help needed with multiple computers and Apple TV

We've just purchased a new Apple TV in our household. We have 2 Mac books.
Does anyone know if it is possible to sync two individual iTunes libraries to the apple TV. We've got one on but the other just seems to want to 'stream' the other iTunes library only.
any ideas??

How to share one iTunes library with multiple computers AND Apple TV? Help?

It seems like my dilemma may not be easily solved. Hopefully it isn't as complicated as I think it will be. Here's the situation:
My wife hates that, in order to see or do anything with the images she takes, I need to have iPhoto open on my computer (Mac Pro), and she then has to connect to it over sharing.
By the same token, I don't like that she buys iTunes content on her MacBook, which is sometimes a duplicate of content I already have. Now that the App Store is out, that is going to start getting really expensive.
So instead, I want us to be able to:
1) Have ONE iTunes library on the network, and ONE iPhoto library. Both of these would be accessible to any computer on the network. When you launch iTunes, you would get all the media that is in that library.
2) Both be able to access iTunes at the same time to listen to / watch content.
3) Both be able to purchase iTunes content, and when it it purchased, it updates that single library. If I buy a song, the next time my wife fires up iTunes, that song is there for her to listen to.
4) Have our two Apple TV units be able to play content from this library.
So, I know that we need something on the network. I have a Drobo with DroboShare, so that is one option. I also have a spare Mac Pro laying around, along with a copy of OS X Leopard Server.
I just don't know what route we should take with this. All I want is for us to share a library, to be able to both use that library, for us to be able to sync content from that library to our portable devices, and for our Apple TVs to also see that library.
Possible?!

I'm sort of in the same boat. We've got an iMac with separate User Accounts set up and are currently sharing the same iTunes and iPhoto libraries along with streaming them to our Apple TV.
Right now I'm the only one with an iPod, however she'll be getting one in a couple of weeks.
We also just picked up a MacBook yesterday and I'd like to be able to sync certain libraries like iTunes and iPhoto so that no content gets duplicated on either the iMac or MacBook and so that we both have access to the current libraries for each program on our iPods and AppleTV.
I have an external hard drive that I back up the iMac on and I assume I could manually keep things current with that but there's got to be an easier way...that's why these are Macs right?

How do i sync my ipad to multiple computers and apple ids?

Hey,
I had an iPad 1, which was synced to my apple id. I then got the iPad 2, which is synced to my apple id as well. My mom is now using the iPad 1, and would like to continue using some of the apps i'd downloaded, but would also like to sync her own apple id to the iPad 1. can someone help me figure out how to sync multiple apple ids, on multiple computers to a single ipad?
(I know this can be done, as my dad's iPad 1, as well as my brother's sync to two different computers and to two different apple ids, i'm just not sure how)

Using iPad or iPod with multiple computers http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202
Apps cannot legally be shared between Apple IDs - that is considered piracy.
However, you can legally install apps on multiple devices that use the same iTunes ID and are owned/controlled by the same person.

Home Sharing with Multiple PCs and Apple IDs

My wife and I both have our own computers with our own Itunes, Apple IDs, and Itouches. Since we obviously share a bank account we want to be able to share the music that we by from the Itunes store with each other. If we both want a song there is no reason we should both have to pay for it. I have used my apple id to authorize home sharing, but I am still at a loss about how to have the music shared and such. Can anyone break this down crayola style for me so that I can get this up and working for us?
Thanks in advance!

My iphone 5s = apple id 1
Husband iphone 4s = apple id 2
My ipad = apple id 3
Son #1 ipad mini = apple id 4
Son #2 ipad mini = apple id 5
For iCloud.. Not quite, you want the same ID for iCloud on your phone and iPad so you have the same info on each. (so perhaps ID 1 on both.
But if you want to share your music (assuming lets say its your ID 1 that has the iTunes account), you should all use ID 1 for iTunes.

Need help with multiple devices and apple id

Between my husband and myself, we have two Iphones, two Ipads, and one Imac. I back all of them up on my Imac using ONE iTunes account....we prefer not use Icloud, and I think that helps keep the information on each device relatively separate from each other...no overlaps with contacts and calendars. We have one APPLE id and password, that we use for Itunes and the App Store. We just got the Iphone 6 for my husband, and it keeps asking him to enter his Icloud PW.(his recognized user name is his PRIMARY email address)...which presumably he does not have, nor does he need (or maybe he does I need some real guidance on that). To keep this from making him crazy can I just delete his Icloud account, which again presumably, was created automatically with the new Iphone 6 set up??
Similarly, I need to use FIND my Phone (etc), and HIS devices are not in MY listed devices....is this because he NEEDS his own APPLE ID, or is there a way to add his devices to my list of devices within the APP....I thought because we share the Itunes account they should all be in MY devices.
Can someone help me make sense of this?
THANKS!!

Hello melissaben6250,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are not seeing your husbands new iPhone 6 in your Find My iPhone app. First, while you may "prefer not use iCloud", you are using it, at least in regards to Find My iPhone for your existing devices.
Now, for your husband's phone and Find My iPhone. It sounds like during the setup of his phone, he logged in to his Apple ID and even possibly created another iCloud account. In order to see his phone on your existing Find My iPhone, it will have to log in to the iCloud account where the other devices are signed in. Take a look at this article on troubleshooting Find My iPhone, especially the first section on the device not appearing.

Cheers,

Help with multiple iPhones and Apple ID!

I have my iPhone 5S and my iPad Mini hooked up to my Apple ID. I recently gave my friend my old iPhone 4 for his birthday and it is also using my Apple ID. Whenever he changes/deletes the contacts in his phone, it changes mine. Is there any way to stop this but still allowing him to keep using my Apple ID?

No, not unless one of you stops syncing contacts with iCloud. When you share an iCloud account, all devices see the same data and any actions taken on one device is mirrored on all the others.

Help needed with multiple and seperate image galleries on 1 site

I'm looking for a simple way to create and manage multiple image galleries (about 100) on a single website. I work for an architect and have a site which has our project portfolio and every project has a page containing a write up with a gallery of only 6 images. Currently I am using .css to run it. If you hover over one of the 6 thumbnails it opens up a larger image in the same div container. If you move the cursor off the thumbnail the main image goes away leaving a default background. The only problem is my bosses now want each image to be retained in view until you hover over the next thumbnail.
Any ideas anyone?

I've never see a performance issue with IsSameObject(), although I understand your issue, it seems to be pretty fast.
Saving a global reference to a jclass prevents it from being GC'd, I don't think it prevents it from being unloaded.
I'm not sure I understand your comment about jmethodID's being different for the same method. Technically, the jmethodID is unique for each class image loaded and class loader. So if a class is unloaded and reloaded, or the same class managed to get loaded by two different class loaders, then you might see multiple jmethodID values. But do you know that is happening?
I have seen some race conditions on the JVMTI event callbacks around Method Entry/Exit and Thread Start/End. If you don't use some rawmonitors to protect yourself, you could be executing your callback code for the methodExit event while the thread goes away out from under you. I don't know if that could be an issue, but it caused me to scratch my head quite a bit when I ran into it.

Can I have one cloud for my family with multiple devices and apple ids?

I need to know the best way to link multiple devices with different apple ids to the same iCloud to share iTunes and content.

My iphone 5s = apple id 1
Husband iphone 4s = apple id 2
My ipad = apple id 3
Son #1 ipad mini = apple id 4
Son #2 ipad mini = apple id 5

Hi peterson,
You may want to post your question in the iPod forum
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=146
You are likely to get a lot more responses over there.
It sounds like your iPod may be having some difficulties that may require a reset to factory settings and/or reformat.

Help needed with ColorEyes Pro and 27" iMac display calibration

I am trying out a demo of ColorEyes Pro and using it with my Spyder2 puck, but there are a few things I just don't know and/or understand as they don't even ask them when using the Spyder software.
White Point Target - no idea what this should be
Gamma Target - 2.2 I am guessing, but not sure
Black Point Target - no idea on this either
Also, what should by "brightness" be set too? Or is that a personal thing?
Thanks in advance...

Hi Rich, I think it should work that way, but not the other way around...

Help Needed with wlst distributeApplication and deploy weblogic 10x

Looking for help on missing steps...
Trying to distribute an application .war from one host (adminServer host) to all cluster members.
I first distribute the app which appears to work:
PackagePath = '/opt/wls/domain1/deploy/app1.war
clusterName= 'SomeCluster'
myapp = 'app1'
distributeApplication(PackagePath, targets=clusterName)
I then execute a deploy cmd, pointing to where the distributed application should be on each host:
deploy(myapp, PackagePath, targets=clusterName)
At this point everything completes without error, but on the admin Server console I see two deploys now for app1:
1. app1 is deployed and active
2. app1.war is deployed in Prepared state with the status as distribute Defferred.
Im guessing #2 is there from the distributeApplication call... how do I deploy the app after executing the distributeApplication call?
Thanks

Help needed with Boot times and performance.

Hi everyone, after two weeks of getting nowhere i gave up and here i am. I have an S10-3 which i am struggling with. As the post title indicates perfomance is (how can i put it) slow. We are talking 15/20 minutes to boot and when i finaly get to Windows its pretty much unusable. Ended up corrupting the recovery partition with my (lets say limited experiance) and have so far proceede to try and install Win XP/Vista/7 with all the same problems unable to install/slow/slow. I think what i am looking for is some pointers on wiping the HDD clean (completely) and some info on how to get a running install of pretty much any Windows that perfoms in a manner that allows me to acctually do something productive. On a plus point i did install an extra Gig of RAM allthough this made very little difference. Thanks in advance for any help offered as i am completley stummped.
