Can I sync 2 apple tvs on different networks with same itunes account?

I read that you can sync up to 5 tv's with the same itunes library, but do all tv's need to be on the same network?
I've been able to successfully sync both apple tvs from my itunes account that's on my laptop. The first one works fine but the 2nd one keeps restarting itself while playing.
I'm not sure if it's me or the apple tv.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Think I have it now. 2 tv's in different locations and on different networks, laptop connected to tv 1 over network 1 works fine, no go with tv 2 with laptop connected over network 2.
Yes this could be an tv fault, you do however have the opportunity to check this. Swap over the 2 tv's if the problem moves with the tv it could be the tv, if it stays with the same network it could be the network.
I'm not so sure it makes any difference but I assume you have named the two tv's differently in itunes.

  • Apple TVs in Multiple Locations with 1 Itunes Account

    Hi,
    Is it possible to use multiple Apple TVs with 1 iTunes account even if we are in different locations. For example if my wife watches a movie we had purchased through Apple TV at our cottage, could I still use to our home Apple TV to watch other purchased content? This had been fine in the past using our 1 Netflix account but we have never tried it with movies purchased through Apple.
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Yes that should be just fine, obviously you would be unable to get content from your iTunes library on your computer at another location.

  • How do I sync my Iphone to two seperate machines with same itunes account.

    I have two laptops one for home and one for personal. But I download music on both. Both are logged on under my own itunes account. But when I try and put the music on from the second computer. itunes will let me know that it will sync, but its going to erase everything from phone first. And I dont want to do that. How do I leave my phones data intact and just add music from my other computer?

    Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
    It isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries, however it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync, otherwise iTunes will want to erase the content and reload. Manual management isn't an option with an iPhone since it still wants you to use a single library, and that won't sync plays.
    I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
    As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
    When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed slightly but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entries and import the local content you have on that box. However you lose the other benefits of syncing.

  • Can I use two apple TVs in different locations in the same house?

    Can I use two apple TVs in different locations in the same house?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can use 2 or more Apple Tv's in different locations in the same house. You can even use them at the same time and watch the same content on each or choose different content.

  • I recently bought a new computer, downloaded itunes and all my music from the cloud, made a few more purchases on itunes then plugged in my ipod and it wont sync. My ipod is already associated with my itunes account and the computer is authorised...

    I have a new laptop which will not sync my ipod to it. I've registered the computer, this is the only ipod associated with this itunes account. It shows the syncing symbol on the laptop and on the ipod but then when i eject the ipod afterwards the new songs have not transfered or my playlists.

    What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not an iTunes "account."  The account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use to sign in to the iTunes Store and make purchases.  It is also used with iCloud.  iPods (that are not iPod touch) are associated with your iTunes library, not to your Apple ID.
    So, I think you probably just need to set up (or update) automatic syncing for the iPod.  If it's not set up to sync those new songs, iTunes still syncs the iPod, but it syncs nothing
    In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  In the sidebar, the iPod appears under DEVICES, when it is connected.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of buttons, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This is the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music (if it's not already checked).  If your iTunes music library fits completely on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  On the lists below, checkmark the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the iPod.  When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the iPod.
    One convenient way to set this up (if you can't sync the entire iTunes music library) is to create a new playlist in your iTunes library.  Name it "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want).  Put ALL songs that you want on the iPod on this playlist, including those new songs.  Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select this playlist under Playlists.  Going forward, to update songs on the iPod, just update that playlist in your iTunes library (add/remove songs).  The next time you connect the iPod (or click the Sync button), iTunes automatically syncs the same changes to the iPod.

  • Sync two laptops with same itunes account

    I have two macbooks that share the same itunes account. The data is not synced, so I have some songs on one but not on the other. I am sharing, but I want to sync them so the data is the same on both. Any ideas?

    you could see if Doug's AppleScripts has a script that helps with the pre-home sharing content.
    alternatively, you could move your library to a centralized location and have your Mac's access the same library file. click here for information.

  • What is the best way to manage multiple devices with one iMac - different users with seperate itunes accounts or one mac user with different itune logons and libraries?

    Hello
    I have just purchased an imac which I am very happy with.  In our household we also have two iphones (one mine and one husbands) and one ipod (my sons). We all have individual itunes accounts set up on our previous computer (not a mac). We have sepereate apps and music, although there may be the odd occasion where we would like to share a song (if this is possible) across devices.
    I am just wondering the best way to manage these devices using the new imac.  Should I create individual accounts to logon to the imac, then from within these launch our own itunes accounts and sync our devices with these.  Or should I be using one version of itunes, logging on to this with our different itunes usernames and storing things in libraries.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
    Thanks

    I am presuming that we cannot share downloaded apps and music between accounts because of the copyright issue,
    Though I'm no copyright lawyer, as long as it's within a household, you can share content among users. Such sharing is, absent specific language preventing it not present in the iTunes Store terms of use, generally considered to be "personal use". So you can share apps and music amongst your users on your computer and with their devices. You just can't give any of that content to friends or relatives who don't live with you.
    What I am not clear on, it making sure that this appears in each itunes account - is it easy to find the file storage folders that match the itunes accounts and what would these be?
    The iTunes library and files are by default in a user's Home/Music folder. But you don't have to find the folder; in fact putting a file into the folder yourself won't add the file to iTunes. Just drag the file into the iTunes window. iTunes will copy it to the correct location.
    Regards.

  • HT1657 I downloaded a rental movie utilizing my laptop.  When I went to find it via Apple TV, that is associated with my iTunes account, I couldn't see it.  This has happened before and it sort of popped up later.  No such luck this time.  Operator error.

    Help Please!!!!  When I download rental movies from iTunes, via my MacBook Pro, I cannot see them to watch them on Apple TV or the MBP.  Is it me or something glitchy that I have no control over?  Thanks for your assistance.

    Hello FeedUpUser,
    Thank you for the question.  When you purchase a rental, you can view it on one device at a time:
    Can I play my rental on more than one device?
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

  • My Wife and Ishare the same iMac, as different users, with separate iTunes accounts. How can I share some of my playlists with her iPod?

    When I go to sync her ipod to my account, Itunes wants to remove all her tunes, before it will install the ones she wants from mine. She wants to keep what she already has on it. How can we do this?

    Hello durantophone,
    This can be done by putting the iPod into 'manual mode.' You'll want to enable this with the iPod connected while in her account.

  • Can/how do i use a 2nd ipod with same itunes account? please help

    I dont use itunes/ipod. My husband is in Afghanistan and he would like me to buy him a 2nd ipod perhaps a nano so i can download his music and send that 2nd one to him.
    I dont know much of this but when i connect the new ipod nano to his itunes, wont it erase all his itunes? i somehow remember something about the itunes synchs to what is on the ipod (which would be nothing on this new one).
    any direction will help as i only have a small window to do/send this to him within the next days.

    There are a bunch of ways to pick what you want to sync to his nano. When you plug in the nano, if you make sure the device on the left panel in iTunes, on the main panel you'll see a bunch of tabs in which you can select what is synced. Click on the "Music" tab and you'll see that you can pick playlists, artists, or genres.
    The first option, playlists, is a very common technique. You create a playlist in iTunes ("File" - "New playlist") and then drag-and-drop music that you want to put on the nano into that playlist (and make sure you select this new playlist in that "Music" tab described in the previous paragraph).

  • Different ipod with same itunes

    i recently broke my ipod and my sister gave me her ipod mini to keep. I wanted to erase her songs and jus add my songs to her ipod by plugging it into my computer. Her ipod had been hookd up to a different computer. When i plugged it into my computer it said that computer does not recognize device and nothing else popped up. SUGESTIONS???

    Start by uninstalling iTunes and the Ipod setup software and download and installing the latest versions. Try connecting again if it still doesn't see the iPod try resetting it and then put it into forced disk mode before connecting. You could also try posting to the right discussion - this one is for the older, regular iPods. You have a mini.
