Apple tv from two different apple-id`s?

Hi:)
We`ve just bought apple tv, and the home sharing to our iMac works just fine!:-)
But in our house we have several apple users (me,my husbond and our oldest kid). Using iPhone, iPad, and Macbook Air.
So now i wonder if its possible two connect several apple products with different apple-id to the apple tv?
If not, i hope you can find a solution for this, cause i guess many apple-users think this should be possible.

Ann - Thank you for posting this question.  We also just bought Apple TV, and my wife has one ID/Password, and I have another.  I would love to hear a response to "How to connect to Apple TV using more than one ID."
Sorry I don't have an answer, but maybe enough people asking will create an answer.
Best,

  • Can I sync the songs from two different Apple IDs (HK and JP) into one iPhone?

    I want to buy some songs from a HK Apple ID and a JP Apple ID.
    I just hope the songs of two Apple ID can appear in one iPhone.
    But I don't want can I sync the songs from two different Apple IDs (HK and JP) into one iPhone.

    Are you currently in Japan or Hong Kong ? You have to be in a country (and have a billing address in that country on your account) to buy or download from its store, that is included in the store's terms.
    You can sync content from different accounts from your computer's iTunes library.

  • Can I sync calendars from two different apple accounts

    How do I, or can I, sync my calendar (my apple/icloud account) with my wife's calendar (her apple/icloud account).
    Its annoying having to always confirm with each other every time we enter something into our own calendars. It would be much easier if I could see what she has added, and if she could see what I have added.
    Thanks for your help

    On the iCloud web page you can share each of your calendars with one-another. No way to sync them.
    You can also set up sharing from Calendar. Ctrl-click on the calendar and pick Share Calendar.

  • Can Apple TV play content purchased with two different Apple IDs (but on one computer)?

    I have one iMac with content in my iTunes from two different Apple IDs. All of this content is perfectly accessible on my computer. Before I ran the most recent software upgrade on my Apple TV 2, I was able to access all of this content (from both Apple IDs) through Home Sharing. Now it shows me all of the content, but skips over any of the songs that were purchased with one of the Apple IDs. It doesn't show an error message--it just won't play the songs. Is there any way around this? I haven't seen a thread that directly relates to this--most threads I have seen discuss two separate computers, each with different Apple IDs. Any help would be much appreciated.

    I've tried everything..unplugging and re-setting the Apple TV, restoring to factory settings and starting over...nothing seems to work. I'm not sure why the software upgrade would have affected it, but that's what triggered this problem. It doesn't seem right that if it's accessible on my computer and it's all music purchased by me, that it's not all accessible on my Apple TV!

  • One app, two different Apple Dev accounts ... Will it work?

    Building a standalone/single-issue viewer app for a client. We've asked to be invited to join their Apple Dev team, but the client proposes this workflow instead:
    Scenario 1
    • We use OUR iOS Provisioning Portal/Apple Dev account to generate all the certificates, provisioning profiles and the app ID needed to bake out the app.
    • We deliver the final binary (.zip file) to the client.
    • Client uses ITS iTunes Connect/Apple Dev account to deliver the binary to Apple, so that the client will be the publisher of record in iTunes.
    WOULD THIS EVEN WORK? Can you really create an app using one Apple Dev account, then publish/manage it w/ iTunes Connect using another Apple Dev account?
    We've also heard this scenario:
    Scenario 2
    • Using our Apple Dev account, we generate: Development Certificate (.p12) and Development Provisioning Profile 
    • Using, their Apple Dev account, the client generates: Distribution Certificate (.p12) and Distribution Provisioning Profile
    THEN …
    1.) … WHO generates the App ID, considering that our dev and their dist provisioning profiles need to be tethered to the same App ID?
    2.) If it's the client, how do we tether OUR dev provisioning profile to THEIR App ID?
    Big thanks in advance.

    My only experience with publishing is to create both the dev and distribution apps, so I haven't tested that workflow yet. But I've heard of publishers who need to do what you're proposing. As I understand it, you would basically create the required cert files from two different Apple accounts. With your Apple account, you would create a dummy App ID (such as com.publisher.publication.test), and create the dev .p12 cert, the dev mobileprovision file, and the dev push cert. Your client would create the real App ID (such as com.publisher.publication) along with the distribution .p12 cert, dist mobileprovision, and dist push cert. Once you get these certs, you use Viewer Builder to create the app using the cert files from the combined Apple accounts. You would publish and test the development ipa file. If it all works properly, your client would sign in to Viewer Builder, download the distribution .zip file and submit it to Apple.
    As I said, I haven't tested this workflow yet, but we're currently setting up a similar split environment.

  • I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same computer, against two different Apple IDs. When I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message?

    I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same Windows 8 computer, and when I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message. Is it possible to have two different Apple IDs on the same computer?

    Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value).  You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
    In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
    Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
    Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
    Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
    The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these).  Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
    In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above.  As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

  • HT201269 Can I sync my music from two different devices if I have two different e mail addresses and apple ids? If so how?

    Can I sync or merge my music from two different devices if I have two different e mail addresses and apple ids? If so how?

    Yes, if you choose the Erase and Sync option (or restore your iPod) you will be allowed to sync your iPod with the new computer.
    If you would like to save the content that's currently on your iPod, see this older thread from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to copy the content on an iPod back to your PC.

  • HT204161 email associated with two different Apple IDs keeps me from logging in

    It seems I have two different apple id accounts both associated with the same recovery email address. As I enter to “Manage My Apple ID” it tells me I need to verify my email address.
    Specifically, it says “A verification email was previously sent to [email protected] We can resend the verification email to the same address, or if this address is incorrect you can change your Apple ID and email address.”
    I hit the “Send Verification Email” button, but it tells me
    “Email address is already verified for another Apple ID.” and I’m stuck, because I’m not sure what that other Apple ID that is associated with that email address is.  Can anyone help me out?

    I've tried everything..unplugging and re-setting the Apple TV, restoring to factory settings and starting over...nothing seems to work. I'm not sure why the software upgrade would have affected it, but that's what triggered this problem. It doesn't seem right that if it's accessible on my computer and it's all music purchased by me, that it's not all accessible on my Apple TV!

  • HT1206 How do you authorize a macbook with two different Apple IDs?

    I am having a little problem right now. My fiance and I both have our own accounts; he got one made by his brother and used it sometimes to buy apps and eventually he started using mines to make purchases because for a while we forgot his Apple ID log in info. My questions right now is can I authorize the one computer that we share right now under two different Apple Ids so that he can get both profiles' contents loaded onto my computer and sync them to his ipod? Just wondering because we don't have wifi and want to get all of our apps, music, etc from both accounts onto our new ipod. I managed to download all of his apps from his Apple ID onto my macbook but I tried to sync them to our new ipod and it said that we had to authorize the computer under his Apple ID and I tried it and it wouldn't allow me to do it it said to wait 90 days before I can do this because it is already associated with my Apple ID. I deauthorized my macbook under my Apple ID and tried to authorize it under my fiance's and it said the same thing. And now Idk what to do:( Can someone help me and tell me what options are available for me? Can I reach itunes support and have them merge our accounts or enable me to have 2 accounts authorized on my macbook that we share or can I find a wifi connection and be able to download all of his content from his Apple ID account from itunes purchased on the ipod touch? Please help me out I would hate to have to buy all of the stuff on his Apple ID account all over again I spent so much money on his account in the past and I don't want him to be upset either:( 

    OMG I am so ecstatic and happy right now like literally jumping and crying with joy! Lol I fixed the problem and authorized both accounts onto my one macbook (that my fiance share) by clicking on one of my fiance's apps and it instructed me to authorize the apps for updates and what not on this computer and I just chanced it and logged into his account and both of all of our apps are on our ipod touch now:D I think we can even get his music back too. I looked at his authorized computer info and it says that he has one computer authorized with his account (the one we are now using) so it worked. Share with others who are in similar situations and warn them to log into their Apple ID Itunes accounts and download past purchased APPS on all the accounts they have before authorizing one of their itunes accounts on a new or different computer and once you have one authorized you'll already have the apps from your other accounts and you can authorize all the other accounts (the underground way) by clicking on the apps associated with each account and authorizing by signing in for authorization(authorizing one app will do them all). The Menu > Store > Authorize This Computer way didn't work for me just the *double click on app associated with the other account not authorized on my computer* and authorizing it that way worked for me. The way that I got all of my fiances apps on our computer first was by just logging in and looking at Purchased on itunes store and clicking download all for all apps. Then after I did his I did all apps on mines and then music and authorized my computer under my itunes account because downloading Purchased music required it and then finally going back and double clicking the apps from the other account and authorizing it that way it is much more simpler that the Menu>Store> Authorize this Computer.
    After I tried that double clicking on apps and authorization by signing in I expected it not to work because the Menu>Store>Authorize way didn't work for me it kept saying "this computer is already authorized under a different Apple ID" and try again in 90 days. The method and steps I provided should allow you to beat around that obstacle and get your apps from all associated accounts.
    Thank me later and good luck to all of you I hope that it will work for you just as it had for me today:D

  • Same Apple ID for two different country accounts?

    Is it possible to use just one Apple ID for two different iTunes accounts? I've recently located to Australia from the uk and want to run an iTunes Store account in each but with just one apple id and email address. Can it be done?

    You have to be in a country to use its store (and an account can only have one billing address on it), so whilst you are in Australia you can only use the Australian store, you cannot use the UK store (including redownloading past purchases). You can either update your billing address on your existing account to have your Australian address on it, or create a new account with your Australian billing address on it

  • How do I put songs from a different apple id to a different apple id on my iPod

    I got songs on my macbook pro, I tried loging in my apple id on my ipod 4th gen and tried to download it and i didnt work. We have two different apple ids.

    radio,
    Is your music on your mom's computer? Or are you trying to sync the music from your iPod to your mom's computer?
    If the first, your iPod will easily connect to your mom's computer and any playlists you choose in the iPod preferences.
    If the latter, you are going to need a third party app to copy your files from your iPod to your mom's computer. Search versiontracker.com for "copy music from iPod to iTunes" and you should find a few that should work.
