Can you use 2 apple tvs on the same network with different apple ids and how would your devices know which apple tv to stream to?

Hi,
I was looking into purchasing 2 apple tvs and was wondering if they can be setup with different apple ids. I need to have mine setup with my id and be able to hook my devices to it , but have the one in a bedroom hooked to a different apple id and have my friend's devices stream to that one and not mine. Is this possible?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order that your Apple TV only streamed from your iTunes Library and your friends to your friends, you would both have to have different homesharing ID's.
So far as devices go, any device on a network can stream over AirPlay to an Apple TV, to ensure each of you couldn't stream to the others device you can enable a password via the Apple TV which would then need entering when you used a device for AirPlay.
Shouldn't be a problem to do what you want to do.

Can you have 2 ipods on the same accounts with different play list?

Can I have 2 ipods on the same accounts with different plalists?

Sure. Each iPod is identified in iTunes with its own name and you configure each one as you wish:

Can you download itunes 2x on the same computer with different email address

can you have 2 accounts for itunes on the same computer

If you mean iTunes Store accounts, yes, you can authorize your system to up to five different accounts.

Using 2 Apple TVs on the same network

Is it possible to use 2 Apple TV units, each connected to its own HDMI equipped television, but each utilizing the same Wi-Fi network?

You can use 2 Apple TVs on the same network independently. I currently have such a setup.
My question then comes up: How do you isolate AirPlay menus (or "forget" the other Apple TV) so that you don't inadvertently start streaming something to the other Apple TV instead of to the one you want, or vice versa, seeing a random YouTube or photo stream in the middle of your movie.
Basically, I live on a different floor with someone on the same wifi network as me. We can't have separate wi-fi networks. We can see each other's Apple TV in the AirPlay menu and it's causing all sorts of problems with accidental interruptions.

If you already have an iPod..Can you use an iPhone on the same computer?

If you already have an iPod, can you use an iPhone on the same computer?

Yes, you can sync as many iOS devices on one itunes as you like.
Make sure to give them different names.

Multiple Apple TVs on the same network

I teach at a school and have used an Apple TV in conjunction with my iPad for presentations. I find it invaluable. Other teachers at my school would like to do the same, but I'm told by our tech support that multiple Apple TVs on the same network cause problems. When I ask them what problems, they aren't sure. They just tell me that other school have experienced problems. Other than a wifi bandwidth problem, I can't imagine what kind of problem it would be. A collegue of mine wants to jump onboard but desn't want to make waves. Does anyone know of any problems?

I have two Apple TV's, one in the living room and one in the bedroom... however, the living room is the only one that my iphone Remote APP is connecting with... I've named/tagged the two ATV's hoping that the Remote APP would provide me the option on which one to control, but it doesn't....
I've confirmed that home sharing is "on" with in all devices "settings"...
Any suggestions?

How do I copy purchases between 2 itunes libraries on the same computer with different log ins and separate apple user ids?

How do I copy purchases between 2 itunes libraries on the same computer with different log ins and separate apple user ids?

Load the library which doesn't contain the songs and drag them into the open iTunes application window. If you need to move them between different computer user accounts, put them into /Users/Shared/.

We have two Ipod Touches in the Home and two Ipads. Right now one of the Ipads has a separate user indentity. Can both Ipods be used to use the same library with different user ids's and different passwords.

We have two Ipod touches and two Ipads in our home. Right now both Ipods are using the same used id and password to access itunes and sync music. But recently both os us have downloaded the Ibooks segment to our Ipads and now the only way to sync the second Ipad for Ibooks is to use the same used id and password. But the problem is that with our two Ipads in the home, we established two separate used ids and passwords one for each. Is there a way for me to still use the second Ipod touch and the second Ipad with completely separate userids and passwords. In other words to share the music library I have accumulated and yet to sign in each with our separate identities. That way the Ipads can sync and the Ipod touches can sync. Is this possible.

This is to avoid piracy. What could happen is, people could buy music, and give it away for free online. Usually it is then you buy a complete album off iTunes that it will only be available on one device. It is tied to that account, and the device must be registered to that account to listen to it.

Can you change rollover text in the same slice for different triggers?

Hi, I haven't used Fireworks since version 3, which was about 6 years ago, when I dabbled in web development. My past has come back to haunt me, and I need to make a fairly simple website pretty quickly for my boss. I've got myself CS4, and now that I've figured out that you can't use buttons for disjoint rollovers, I'm starting to make progress...
What I want to achieve, is that there are 6 'buttons' on my page, which when you rollover them will display text in a box to the side. I would use separate boxes for each button, but there isn't enough space on the page, as there is quite a lot of text, so I would like to use a box in the same place to display any of the 6 texts, depending on which button is rolled over. Can this be done?
I probably haven't quite got my head round layers, and this may be very simple, but could someone please point me in the right direction, even if it is a link to the right bit on product help?
Because the button disjoint rollover doesn't work, I have created 6 slices for the triggers. I tried hotspots first, but couldn't use them as I also want a rollover live filter effect on the trigger.

Yes, you can trigger different slice contents on rollover from multiple other slices.
It's easier to show than describe, so here is a sample file that does what I think you're looking for:
(1) six buttons
(2) each button has unique text
(3) each button has a rollover state
(4) unique text is displayed in the same place for each button on rollover
Hope this helps!

Time Capsule and Extreme on the same network with different roles

I've just bought a new Time Capsule device which replaces my slightly older Airport Extreme Base Station. The TC is attached directly to my broadband modem via ethernet. This works fine. I want to use the old AEB as a 'print server', in other words a device I can plug printers into to enable wireless printing. This is because the printers are in a different place to the telephone line in.
With the TC running on its own, everything works fine. But as soon as I switch on the AEB, I get errors up on screen such as "IP Configuration; 91.84.115.158 in use by 00:1f:f3:3e:95:6d, DHCP Server 192.168.1.1". Alongside this error message (which occurs every 30 seconds) the internet connection frequently cuts out and comes back online by itself. Also, some computers are connecting to the AEB instead of TC for an internet connection. It's chaos!
I have tried TC in various wireless modes such as "Participate in a WDS Network". Likewise I have set the old AEB in "Bridge Mode" for internet connectivity and the WDS is set as a remote. It seems I can only have one on and not the other. I have tried using different radio channels too without much luck.
I have looked through the designing Airport Networks manual, but the illustrations have an AEB before the TC whereas my network is the other way round.
Can anyone point out where I might be going wrong or offer some design advice / good links?

I've done a hard reset of both devices and swapped them over vice-versa. The problem seems to be the network will only support a SINGLE device. In Airport Utility I can only get one of the two devices to show in the sidebar, rarely both devices are temporarily present. I've configured both to use the same network names and WPA passwords in the hope they will 'merge' together onto the same network. But one just seems to cancel out the other.
Right now I've go the old AEB plugged back into the modem and its working. But the new TC device which I've plugged into the printers wont show on the network and has the amber light flashing.

Can I use 2 Apple TVs on the same network? Must they have the same HD size?

Probably simple questions but
-Can a 2nd ATV be added to a network (for a 2nd set)?
-To sync, does it have to be the same sized HD, or can you sync them seperately?
-Can the ATV2 output simultaneously to HDMI and component outputs or does one cancel the other?

Interesting. I have my main flat screen with the Apple TV connected via component through to my Home theater system and wanted to also run it direct to the second HDMI for times when my wife does not want to go through the HT setup, etc. I had noticed a 1080i option, not 1080P. I gather 1080P will come up if I switch it to HDMI? My cable box allows simultaneous component and HDMI outputs. I didn't realize that 1080P is not available on the component spigots.

Can you use two iPods on the same account?

I just purchased a new iPod because my older one has been having trouble. When I logged onto iTunes it would recognize my new iPod because it said another user was logged on. My question is, can I add this second iPod to my account so that I can use all the music I've purchased with it? How do I do it if I can? This is very frustrating, please help!

Yes you can. My wife and I each have iPods and use the same iTunes store account. Only plug one iPod in at any given time. Also, turn off fast user switching if you choose to set up another user account.

TS3992 I have a pre paid Wi Fi with telstra for 12 months and yet I get the message of this I pad has not been backed up I have no idea how to back it up can you help. I have the same problem with my I phone withTelstra please tell me how to back them up

Hi I have an I pad 64 gig and internal wifi bought about 2 months ago. it keeps coming up with a message "this i pad has not been backed up" I have no idea how to do it can you help.
I also have an I phone 4s with the same message both are with telstra the I pad has a 12 month pre paid wifi contract and the phone is on a monthly contract.

Sounds like you actually paying for cellular service and you really need to be on wifi to backup your ipad/iphone.
Normally you have to be connected to wifi and you can do manual backup by going to Settings- icloud- storage and backup and pressing backup now button. Start with your ipad, usually size of the backup smaller and return here if you encounter a problem.

How do you change the iTunes ID when updating apps? 3 people use the same iPad with different iTune IDs.

When trying to update apps on iPad2, someone elses iTunes ID is already showing when it asks for a password. (all in the family)
How do I change to my iTunes ID? I checked settings & it is correct there.

Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap on the ID to sign out of that one. Then tap Sign in to sign in with another ID.
If you have problems switching the ID's you may want to restart the iPad before you sign in with the new ID.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Doesn't it get confusing using 3 ID's on one iPad?

In I-Tunes, how can I consolidate multiple copies of the same album with different tracks into one file in my library screen?

In Windows 7 , I tunes library/ albums, I have many albums ( all the same) with different tracks in each.
Is it possible to consolidate the multiple cover photos into one ?

Generally setting a common Album Artist will fix things, if not see Grouping tracks into albums.
