Syncing and streaming 'playing now' on a second computer?

So, I have homesharing setup between two computers in separate rooms IE. linking computer#2 to the Library on Computer#1. What I would like to do is stream what is actually playing on Computer#1 through Computer#2 IE. syncing what is playing so I can walk between rooms and hear the same music...
Is this possible through homesharing? If so, please tell me how? If not, what application can help me do this?? I may not be using the correct terminology in searching forums for this answer, but seems it has not been asked.
Many thanks in advance!!

  • Syncing and streaming from different itunes libraries on same computer

    First, I came across a thread saying that it is possible to sync and stream from the same itunes library, but Apple technical support says this is not possible and the thread didn't explain how this is done. I know you can still stream music from a library that is synced with the ATV by using Airtunes, but you can't stream movies through Airtunes. If there's a way to sync and stream movies through the ATV from the same itunes library, can someone please let me know how to do it?
    If this is not possible, does anyone know if it's possible to sync to one library and stream from another on the same computer? I tried this last night and for a second I thought it worked because my itunes was listed on the ATV twice (once as syncing and the other as streaming) but then when I switched back to the library that the ATV was supposed to be synced with, that library disappeared from the ATV and I lost all of the media on the ATV. (As a side note, when I started syncing again, the ATV showed that it still had all of the media on there, but itunes showed that there was nothing and started copying everything again - very annoying).
    This is an issue for me because I only have one computer and all of my media on an external harddrive. I like having my music synced with the ATV but my movies will not fit on the ATV so I would prefer to just stream those rather than have to delete and add movies everytime I want to watch something different. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    missed a very important step necessary to achieve this, in the summary tab in iTunes there is a check box... "show only synced items".. if you uncheck that box then unsynced items will will appear on the appleTV menus and when you click on them they will be streamed... this gives you the sync and stream from the same library part of what the OP wants.
    the other part of the puzzle is to let items inside and outside of the iTunes Folder exist in the iTunes library... the library is file that contains all the files that you see in itunes... files don't need to be in the iTunes folder to be in the itunes library though..
    the trick here is that when you drag the files from your external (the ones you don't want on your computer) and into iTunes... press option as you drag and the files will be added to the iTunes library (a reference/path to them really) but the files will not be copied to the iTunes folder... when iTunes looks for that file (to play it directly or to stream or sync to appleTV) it looks at the reference and says.. hey i can get this file here (on your external) and goes and fetches it.
    on a PC you press SHIFT as you drag into iTunes so the item(s) don't get copied to the iTunes folder.. no OPTION key on PCs.

  • How to setup Sync and Stream for Different Photo Libraries?

    I've read through most posts, but still can't get ATV to both sync and stream photos.
    On my MBP I have my iTune library with music, movies, etc. I also have several iPhoto libraries for each year ('05, '06 '07, etc). I initially set up ATV to sync to my MBP iTune Library and my iPhoto '07 iPhoto library and everything went fine. Even if ATV->source->my music->photos, I get the photos streamed fine.
    The question is how do I stream the other iPhoto libraries? If I go into MBP-> iTunes->Devices->ATV->Photos and deselect sync, I can't select any other Photo Albums and lose the ones I just sync'ed. If I try ATV->source->my itune lib->connect to new iTunes->sync #, but then when I go to MBP-> iTunes->devices->ATV there is no window to insert the # to stream.
    What am I missing? Usually Apple is very logical, but this has me stumped. Basically I would like to sync and store my music on ATV, but be able to stream different photo libraries, the photos don't have to be stored on ATV. If I could sync some and stream others that would be better.
    Can anyone give me a step-by-step on how to do this? I must be missing a step somewhere. Thx

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    It's debatable whether you could ever sync and stream photos from the same library. tv v 1.1 gave that impression because it showed photos in a synced source and a streamed source when the source was the same library. However as they were effectively the same photos it was never really clear what was happening.
    Now that synced and streamed content is in the same menu under v 2.0 it really doesn't matter. If your itunes library is synced to your tv then you must sync your photos, if your itunes library is stream only then you must stream your photos.
    Moving on, because this doesn't actually address your problem, which is that you want to sync or stream multiple iphoto libraries from the same itunes library. Well you can't, although you have a couple of workarounds.
    If you must have multiple libraries, then you could open additional user accounts, stream the itunes libraries in those user accounts and allocate a single library to iphoto under each user account. This is quite messy if you have more than a couple of libraries and will not work with more than 5 libraries, which you may well have if you are working by years.
    Your second option and I don't think you'll like it too much is to put all your photos in one library. To be honest I'm not really sure why you split your photos up as you do, I would have thought that iphoto was more than capable of coping with photos from all years.

  • Is it possible to sync AND stream from the same iTunes library?

    Hi,
    I am having trouble in setting up sync AND stream from the same iTunes library.
    Config :
    Mac OS - Latest update 5/6/09
    iTunes - Latest update 5/6/09
    Apple TV - Latest update 5/6/09
    I am able to either sync OR Stream from my iTunes library but not sync AND stream from the same iTunes library
    Let's say i want to sync :
    Go to Apple TV > Settings > computer
    Add Library (Not shared for Syncing)
    Enter passcode in iTunes and select the items to sync
    After sync is complete
    You can see photo, music & video in My Photos, My Music & My Videos.
    Let's say now my Apple TV is full
    So like to stream some other content
    Now
    Go to Apple TV > Settings > computer
    Add SHARED Library
    Passcode is shown in apple TV but not able to Enter it in iTunes (click to set link is not there next to Apple TV item under devices)
    To get that you have to right click the apple tv from the devices and select don't sync.
    You will get a message saying that all content in apple TV will get deleted.
    If you say yes then only the passcode screen for streaming is presented.
    So i am not able to sync AND stream from the same iTunes library.
    Any idea?

    correct
    3. After syncing is complete as per the steps said before, if i have to see a synced content i go to My Movies for streamed content i have to go to Shared Movies?
    no... both synced and streamed content show up all together. there is no way to tell what content is synced or streamed when looking at it on the appletv. it is seemless as in there is no difference in how it is presented.
    you also need to make sure you are using "custom sync" rather than "automatic sync", as you can't select the "show only synced content" box when using "automatic sync".

  • Sync and stream from the same library?

    Hello,
    Prior to upgrading to ATV2, I was able to access 'unchecked' items in my iTunes library from my ATV. This is the iTunes library that I am also syncing from.
    This allowed me to stream items that I didn't want to sync.
    I would do this by going to the 'sources' option and directly selecting my Mac Based iTunes library, rather than the ATV library.
    With the new update, can you still stream unchecked items from the same iTunes library that you are syncing too?
    If so how?
    If not, I think this is a major let down???
    Any help much appreciated.
    FH

    Depends on what you mean by unchecked.
    If you don't check items in the sync options window (from device list) they won't get synced, but they will get streamed provided the item is checked alongside it's title in the main library window. If an item isn't checked alongside it's title in the main library window then it won't sync or stream.
    All synced and streamed content from the same library now appears in a single list on the tv, namely 'my movies, my tv shows etc'. Only content from a secondary (streaming only) library will appear in a separate list on the tv, namely 'shared libraries'.

  • Syncing and streaming to the same iTunes

    Appletv works great...but I want to sync and stream from the same iTunes...is this possible. I want to be selective about what I sync to the HD but be able to access any media in iTunes via a stream...is this possible?
    iMac Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Appletv works great...but I want to sync and stream from the same iTunes...is this possible. I want to be selective about what I sync to the HD but be able to access any media in iTunes via a stream...is this possible?Yes it is. Simple set up your "sync" preferences in iTunes as you probably already have. Then access the "Sources" area of your TV device. Under this menu you should see both your "Named TV" device, as well as, your "Named iTunes Library" at the very least. Simply select whichever you wish to access at a given time and select it. NOTE: This option appears to default back to the "synched" TV device whenever you open "Sources" so always "reselect" the streaming iTunes Library when you want to stream content and have opened this option.

  • My music file did  not download correctly and stops playing after a few seconds.

    My music files did not download correctly from itunes and stop playing after a few seconds.

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library and then download again from your purchased history. If the problem persists, or that facility is not available in your region contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history.

  • Where the heck is the AppleTV 2 instructions for sync and stream?

    I can't find any info on sync and stream in Apple TV's setup manual and there's no manual for How to Use. Can someone point me to the right link?

    There's not alot of info for sync and stream. Pointer the ATV to a Mac initially produces the sync(user can sync only one itunes library). It streams also as long as the files are in the itunes library and the itunes program is open(can be minimized) and the Mac is not sleeping. Up to five other Macs can stream but not sync. You can tell that feature by the amount of tabs available in the ATV column of itunes.

  • I've had a problem with syncing itunes, when i sync it dosent sync songs previously deleted it just greys them out, which is great but if i want to add a new video or song from my computer it wont sync it will just grey out and wont play. now all my songs

    ive had a problem syncing with itunes recently. when i delete a song on my iphone when i sync with my computer it still syncs but just greys out and is rendered useless. thats great unless i when i want to add new music or videos from my pc to my iphone it wont sync and will just grey out. i looked for solutions and one said that deleteing all your music from the usage in settings would fix it, well now when i sync all of my music is greyed out. ive tried adding all of my songs manually into my ipod instead of syncing entire library and nothing. (also when i select to sync music nothing shows up in the usage bar (normally 3 gigs)  might help) could someone please help?

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

  • Syncing and streaming

    I got my first Apple TV and am very happy with it.
    I set it up to stream from my macPro and it works well, but for some movies... it often takes long to stream before it starts playing.
    Is there a way to sync part of my library, and stream the rest?
    I've been looking at the documentation, and it seems I would have to set up Apple TV from scratch again, something I hate to do, because I usually don't mess with things that work weel

    yes you can do that (via the custom sync option), but you if you don't already have any sync options then you will need to break the link and reconnect it again but this time not as a shared streaming library.
    you may want to look into why your streaming is slow though. if you are connected via WIFI you may want to look at why it's slow (most likely wifi interference or poor coverage).

  • Little confused by Syncing and Streaming

    I got my Apple TV yesterday. Everything appeared fine when I set it up. Except when I tried to play music, it was "skipping" and sounded kind of weird. I assumed it was because the Apple TV was syncing. So, I left it alone overnight expecting to find this morning the 40 GB drive would be full and it would be ready to go.
    What I'm finding instead is that my pictures and music are not syncing over, even though I've got iTunes set to sync everything (all pictures and all music). I have about 4X what would fit on the 40 GB Apple TV. But, I thought it would sync what it could. Is that not the case? I keep changing settings on syncing. But, no matter what I do, the drive never gets anywhere near full. I get messages saying certain songs/playlists won't be synced because there's not enough room on the drive. But, I thought the drive would still fill up.
    Lastly, since I can't get all my music and pictures on the AppleTV at once, should I sync photos first and assume the music will always just stream?
    Thanks,
    Brian

    The fact that the drive isn't that full may suggest a network issue as overnight it would hopefully have synced as much as it could. How are you connected?
    Stuttering music sounds more like it was playing using streaming and cutting out.
    I too have more than will fit on a 40GB machine.
    The one thing you should sync is photos you need on there - streaming can only deliver the same ones which is odd.
    Just in case it needs clarification:
    - under Sources the AppleTV option means to play what is synced to the device
    - the other entries are streaming iTunes libraries
    This isn't always obvious!
    You can select individual movies/TV shows to sync and I assume you've disabled that. For music it's all, nothing or selected playlists - it could be that your music library is too big and it's confusing AppleTV trying to work out what to sync and what to leave out - I don't know how this works, but when my music library grew, every time it resyncs there are warnings some things are left off.
    Try creating a playlist say 'AppleTV playlist' and drag and drop music into that and just sync that leaving out things you'd not listen to often and be content to stream.
