Using apple tv at two homes

I own ONE apple tv ... and 2 homes ... with a computer and airport at both homes ... is it possible to move the apple tv from one home to the other and be able to rent movies???

Should be possible - ideally if you set up the network with the same name and password in both sites you wouldn't have to re-enter network detail all the time.
Main problem is that only one computer iTunes can be set to Sync with the AppleTV, the other would have to be a Shared library.
In theory you don't really need the itunes connection for rentals if you're doing it direct from AppleTV, only the internet connection for this. Remember purchases (not rentals) will only sync back to the Sync iTunes library.

HT204291 Can I use Apple TV without a home network

Hi
My friend has an iphone 5 and has just bought Apple TV so she can watch movies on the tv off her phone but she has no home phone line so no internet at home except for through her iphone how can she connect her phone to the Apple TV she did think she might be able to use her personal hot spot but can not seem to get the Apple TV to see it
Any advice gratefully accepted

I'm a little baffled, though... the Apple TV teardowns show that the boxes have 8 GB of flash, which is an awful lot. Isn't there any way I can load a movie to the box locally, using USB and iTunes or another method?
Thanks.

Using Apple Pay on Vending Machines - Over Charged

Hi All, I just used Apple Pay on two vending machines today, bought $0.75 candy on one machine and a $1.35 soda on another. BOTH transactions charged me $1.50, I confirmed 2 "Pending transactions" for $1.50 each on my credit card account. Anyone know if this some kind of hold, and the correct amount will eventually be charged?

Hi ..
Very likely authorization holds. Same is true of purchasing from the iTunes & App Stores > iTunes Store & Mac App Store: About payment card authorization holds - Apple Support
Monitor the account used for making those purchases for credits. It can take anywhere from 24 hours to three business days.

Can i set up my iPad and iPod to use iMessage between the two devices with the same Apple ID?

Can i set up my iPad and iPod to use iMessage between the two devices with the same Apple ID? SO i could iMessage if out from my iPod to my iPad at home to be viewed by a family member?

Look into using Apple Configurator. It's the easiest way to "reimage" and Manage iPads that I know of right now.

Also, look into using the Educational Volume Purchase Program, if you have not already done so.

Cloud accounts are multi-platform.
You have a maximum of two activations but can use them on Win/Win or Mac/Mac or Win/Mac. The choice is yours.

Is it a solution to use Apple TV and VoiceOver to play my tunes on my home audio system?

hi, i am visually impaired and want to be able to have voice access to browse my music so that i can easily play them on my home system. when i saw that apple tv supports voice over, this idea came to my mind to have an apple tv connected to my home audio system and share my library on my computer to be able to browse it using apple tv with voice over enabled. this way i have access to my music library and via voice. but i couldn't find a good tutorial to approve if my idea is correct or not. please give me feedback to know if my idea is a correct one or essentially it is not a good solution for such problem.
thanks a lot

Yes it should work ok.
I don't use it normally but once enabled Voice Over states the current menu position. If the position has submenus it says 'button'.
For example, I have 2 itunes libraries running currently.
As I scroll across the columns using a right keypress it says something like Main Menu and:
Movies (right keypress) Internet (right keypress) Computers
On pressing select on Computers the submenu opens showing both shared libraries:
AlleyCat Mac Mini
AlleyCat Mac Pro
The Voice Over announces 'Alley Cat Mac Mini, Button, One of Two'
Button seems to indicate a submenu.
Pressing down key on remote it announces 'Alley Cat Mac Pro, Button, Two of Two'
Selecting either library lists the media content categories:
Music / TV Shows / Podcasts etc (order may be different)
It announces say 'Music, Button, 1 of 6'
Pressing select ('button') opens the Music category.
You then have several subcategories inclusing Shuffle/ Search / Music Videos/ Album Artist/ Album / Genre/ Genius etc etc
I'd personally like Artist at the top but it should be easy to navigate down with a few clicks and you'll soon remember which menu number is your preferred category.
One say is Artist, there's Shuffle or similar at the top then all artists listed alphabetically.
So I have maybe:
a-Ha
ABBA
ABC
Academy of Ancient Music
Alanis Morrisette
Alisson Krauss
etc
etc
As you scroll down it says the artist name pretty well for most and says say ABBA, Button, 3 of 227'
Select takes you to the album/track submeny and process procedes.
The Apple remote is very simple and should work well, though i think the older white one is more tactile than the new silver one.

Can I use apple TV on home network with time capsule or Airport Xtreme without being connected to the internet?

I'm wondering if I can use Apple TV to play movies and slide shows on my TV, play music over my sound system and print from my devices (Iphone 4S, iPad and MacBook pro 2011) by using an Airport Xtreme or Time Capsule (to back up the devices) if those devices are not connected to the internet. Can anyone advise pls? Reason for this is that I work on a moving ship and don't have an internet connection to speak of for much of the time (and if I do it's a wireless system that I need to pay by the minute and that is too slow to support the Apple TV), but would all the same like to create a wireless environment where my devices can interact with each other. I seem to get conficting info and a rep at the apple store in Honolulu told me that you cannot use Airport Xtreme or Time Capsule without an internet connection (it was busy, he may have misunderstood my question).
Looking forward to your input.

Don't try to home share it.. as that is dependent on using Apple ID.
Just airplay to the ATV.. iTunes: Using AirPlay
The movie should play exactly as your doing music.. but get rid of the whole home share if that is causing issues.. there is no mention of needing home share in the above..
If you still have issues you might need to do it other ways.. like export the movie from itunes.. and play it using vlc which should allow you to stream it to the apple TV using airplay.
That is a bit tricky and I have not used that setup but it should work.
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/23412/can-i-stream-any-video-played-wit h-vlc-player-to-apple-tv
If you have a hunt around you should find it fairly easy to do.. but straight airplay should work.. there is a very recent update to ATV which might help it with airplay.

Can I use Apple TV to play iTunes from my iMac on my home stereo?

How does Itunes from my Imac connect to my home stereo using Apple TV?

Greetings;
When you launch the iTunes Application, down in the lower right hand corner, you see an icon and "Speakers". Select the Apple TV device and iTunes will then use the Apple TV as an external speaker.
You can also access your iTunes music and movies from the Apple TV menu. With your iTunes Application open on your computer, select "Computers" from the Apple TV Menu.
You'll also need to turn ON "Home Sharing" in the iTunes Application. You can find that setting in the "Advanced" menu option in iTunes.
Hope this helps! All the best...and Merry Christmas!

HT204053 Can you use the same Apple ID for two devices ?

I have an MacPro and I am buying an iPad. Can you use the same Apple ID for two devices or should I create an new AppleID for the ipad?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The Apple ID purpose is to have the same data in all your devices and share your purchases among all your devices, so you can use your Apple ID in both devices

I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

Apple ID's are not device specific, so when you changed it on the iPad 2 it changed it on the iPhone 4 as well, since it's the same account still. What you need to do is create a second Apple ID (so you'll have two accounts, one for iPhone 4 and a seperate one for iPad 2).
To create a new Apple ID on your iPad 2:
1) Go into Settings > Store.
2) If you are already signed in, tap your Apple ID on the screen and you will be given a few options, one of which is to sign out of your account.
3) After you sign out, now click the "Sign in" button.
4) Tap "Create New Apple ID" and follow the instructions on-screen.

I used the same apple id on two iphones

used the same apple id on two iphones, and one of them i gave away. I signed out and deleted all the data that is connected to me. But the person who has my iphone, can see all imessages i get or send. And my apple id always appears on that phone... And of course when that person sends messages, it shows that it was sent from my email or phone. So is there a solution?

He has to un-sing of iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime and of course you have to change your Apple ID password!
