Can you name multiple apple TV's to display in airplay?

I have 3 apple TV's (#2) and wonder if there's any way to name each uniquely so as to pick the one you want, rahter than keep picking until you get the correct one.
Thanks for any info.

Yes, there are even defaults for naming them, such as LivingRoom, Bedroom, etc, or you can even enter your own name with the remote for each AppleTV.

  • HT204053 can you have multiple apple id's for the family but we all use the same iCloud?

    Can you have multiple apple id's for the family members but we all us the same iCloud account?

    You'll have to have an ID you all share in order to have a shared iCloud account. It would be sensible for each person to have their own ID and their own iCloud account for email and their own data (each would be on their own computer/iOS device or user account on a Mac) and then have a common account which everyone would sign into in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars to access shared data.
    You don't want to be all using the email in a common account - if people are using email aliases remember these can't be detached from the account and transferred to another one. Having all your emails mixed up together can be somewhat impracticable.

  • HT204053 Can you have multiple apple ids that access one itune account??

    I need to know if I can have multiple Apple Ids attached to one itunes account.  Trying to set facetime up on these separate devices and it keeps failing.  Any help would be appreciated.  I tried to add additional emails, but I all I get is verifying and it never verifies it.

    yes you can still sync all the devices on itunes using one master itunes/appleID account.
    Music:
    If you want to select specific playlists for your kids, DON'T enable iTunes Match on their devices, otherwise they will get ALL the playlists on their devices (learned that the hard way)
    If you have wi-fi synced enabled that should still work.
    Apps:
    I manually select which apps they get on their devices using itunes. It only changes when they re-sync.
    Don't enable AUTO downloads on their devices for Apps or Music purchases.
    Since I also have young kids using these devices:
    I have restrictions setup on their devices. I don't allow them to install/delete apps, nor do I allow them to make any account changes on their devices. This way their devices stay in order and get backed up to icloud. I can easily restore their devices if I needed too.
    Once in a while I will disable the restrictions so I can update all their apps.
    Hope this helps!

  • HT5625 Can you deactive multiple Apple ID's?

    Over the years I have set up multiple Apple ID's for my one apple device. Unfortuntley I used email addresses for the companies I was working for at the time. I know that I need to authorize those multiple ID's in order to transfer my music to the computer I am using, I get all the way to the point of reseting the password for each ID. But the problem is they need to be authenticated thru email, well I cant get to those emails anymore. Long story short, would it be easier just to deactive these accounts and restore my ipod back to factory and start over with my music.

    Wouldn't you only need to create a new apple ID and put that on your phone instead of your old apple ID that is merged?

  • Can you have multiple apple id's with different billing?

    My husband and I started out using the same Apple ID and now have it on a laptop, 2 iPhones and an iPad.  When we set up our new 4S iPhones our Contacts were merged and some duplicated.  I also want to have my own set of music so I'd like to separate my devices from the existing Apple ID and set up a new one that only contains my purchases and interests.  How can I accomplish this without negative impact to my husbands iPhone and laptop?

  • HT5622 Can you have multiple apple ids and all share the same apps and music?

    I have multiple devices, iphone 5s (myself), mini ipad (son), 5th generation ipod (daughter). When I receive imessages they are going to the other devices and not my phone. Is this because I have all devices set up on the same Apple User ID or am I missing something in Settings that needs to be turned on/off? I have all devices under the same User ID to control the purchases. Now I'm thinking maybe each device needs to have it's own User ID and if I switch them now, will we all still share the same apps and music? Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

  • HT201335 In my house there are 3 iPads.  Can you have multiple Apple IDs set up to work with the Apple TV?  Obviously one at a time.

      Is it possible to have Apple TV device "remember" all three ID's?  If so how does one set that up?

    At any time, you can go in the settings in the iTunes Store section to setup a different account.  This will only have to do with rental to be charge to a different account and photostream.

  • Can you tie multiple Apple IDs to one account?

    I have four iPhones connected (mine, wife, son, daughter) to my one Apple ID. I did this primarily so we can have apps on several phones without paying 4x. It works fine like that but after a recent warrant visit to the Apple Store, the tech told me it can create performance issues. Any truth to that? Is there any benefit to not having one Apple ID for all phones?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Never mind; I believe I found my answer - in a nutshell, everyone needs their own apple accounts and ids.
    Now, is there any way to delete a previously asked question such as this?

  • HT2589 Can you have multiple apple id's linked to one library?

    I want my kids to have their own accounts, but as they are all linked to the same library, would they need their own library to have their own account? Don't want 4 versions of iTunes on my computer.

    No. Each Apple ID and account needs a separate library. To accomplish this on one computer you must set up separate user accounts each of which will have its own iTunes Library (but only one version of iTunes.) If that's not satisfactory then buy a computer for each of your kids.

  • Can you use multiple Apple TVs in a single location?

    I have a client who wishes to put 4 monitors in a meeting room environment. They would like the ability to play the same image on all four monitors, as well as the option to play different things on separate monitors at the same time. Will Apple TV work for this application?
    My thinking is that the Apple TVs could be tied to separate networks for individual devices showing different images and linked to the same network if they wanted all four screens to show the same thing. Am I way off base????

    Success, Winston!
    It took a few extra steps because of airplay passwords and then it dropped one one the rooms i was trying to add. So fingers crossed that nothing else happens, but its working fine this morning!
    One other question.....often when I turn on iTunes on apple TV, it doesnt have my playlists.Says they are not available. Then later I can try it and ther they are. What causes that? Is there a way to prevent that for happening?

  • HT204053 Can you merge multiple Apple Id's into one?

    I have two different accounts and one has my music on it. I just bought an Ipad and cannot sync the music from my older Apple ID... I want to keep all my stuff on my new Apple ID. Is it possible to merge the old ID apps and content to the new ID?

    No.

  • HT204053 Can you merge multiple Apple IDs?

    I have somehow collected 3 IDs over the years and want to merge them so I don't keep having to log out and resign in every time I need to update my apps on my iPhone and iPad.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    Apple IDs cannot be merged.

  • Can you have multiple Apple TV's in one household?

    I was just wondering if it would interfere with each other during airplay. My wife has her internet content she watches and I have mine.

    There will be in interference, multiple ATVs work perfectly fine.
