AppleTV Homesharing and 2 iTunes accounts. How?

Just hooked up AppleTV. Homesharing works fine for my account. My wife has a separate iTunes account for her phone and pad. How can she stream her photos and videos to the TV? She's fine with accessing my music from my laptop. But can't get her local content to the TV. I can just fine but she has a different login. Swapping account names is a real headache on these devices once they are already set.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You should be aware that your Apple ID for your iTunes Account and the homesharing ID are different things. Each iTunes library should have it's own Apple ID, but all homesharing ID's should be the same.
For example:
If your iTunes store account uses an Apple ID of steve @ me.com and your wife's is wife @ me.com, you should continue to use those ID's. However in both cases when setting up homesharing the homesharing ID needs to be identical. It can be the same as either of your Apple ID's or something completely different.

You'll need to create an Apple ID for each device. Use the new Apple ID for FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud on the device. Use the original Apple ID for Settings>iTunes & App Store.

You need a unique AppleID for each iCloud account. So grab some free gmail, hotmail, aol, yahoo or whatever email addresses to make five new AppleIDs. Now, everybody make an iCloud account for themselves, and keep the existing shared AppleID and password just for use in the iTunes and App Stores. You can also each use your own unique AppleIDs to make iMessage accounts and keep those separate as well.

You need to make an iTunes Store account in her name and with her unique Apple ID. Note that everything she has purchased and downloaded under your Apple ID will not transfer to hers. She will need (or you will) to repurchase all of her iTunes Store items.
She will also need her own user account on the computer if you share the same computer.

iMatch works by matching or uploading the music in your iTunes account, it doesn't matter where the music came from as long as it now in your account, but if you purchased it with a different account you will need to be logged in
No.
As long as you computer is authorized for that iTunes account, the songs will work with iTunes Match. The user does not need to be logged in on that computer.
Husband's computer and husband's iTunes account signed in.
Songs from wife's iTunes account on computer and computer authorized for wife's account. Songs from both will work with iTunes Match.

How do I delete and existing itunes account on my iphone and start a new account

how do I delete and existing itunes account on a phone that i have transfered to and start a new one

You can't. All you can do is stop using it. Anything you have purchased using the old Apple ID is permanently connected to it and cannot be updated or re-downloaded when using the new Apple ID.

I had my Itunes account disabled due to fraud, if i create a new itunes account how can i switch purchases and apps to the new ID?

Hi ...
Just be cause the account was disabled (Apple ID) doesn't mean you can't reset the password and have access to your iTunes purchases.
Use the iforgot link to reset your password > Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
If you have problems resetting, use the email form here > Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us

You should see an app called app store on your iPhone, or you can connect via your computer using iTunes.

Hi. We have two iphones and one Itunes account. How do back up each one without getting the others contacts and without syncing each phone to each other?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, providing you with your own contacts, calendars etc, not doing so will result in exactly what you have experienced. The contacts have likely been lost due to the options you have chosen at the login stage on each device.
Unless you have the missing contacts in a backup file, they won't be recoverable unfortunately. You can add them manually to the contracts that already exist and continue to share the iCloud account if you wish, but I suggest that you each have your own iCloud account.
Note, you can each have your own iCloud account, but continue to share an iTunes account for purchases of apps, books, music, TV shows etc etc.
