Home sharing across two wifi networks?

I have two wifi networks in my home and each is attached to its own cable modem. Can home sharing be used across both networks so I can see my Apple TV and my iTunes library at the same time in the remote app? Thus far, I have only been able to access them separately by switching wifi networks on my iPhone. All my devices are set up with the same Apple ID. My main computer is running Windows 7 and it is connected to network #1 via LAN and network #2 via wireless. All my speakers including Apple TV show up in the Airplay menu of iTunes. Apple TV is connected to network #2 solely for the reason that the signal is stronger.
Any ideas out there? This has been frustrating the heck out of me. Thanks in advance!

  • At home I have two wifi networks , I try to use one of them depending on their strength of signal, can I not save  both their passwords on Apple TV , so that I can switch to one of the two wifi networks as required

    At home I have two wifi networks , I try to use one of them depending on their strength of signal, can I not save  both their passwords on Apple TV , so that I can switch to one of the two wifi networks as required
    Also the passwords are long and cumbersome to type every time on the apple  TV remote, what is the alternative if I cannot store them on the memory of the Apple TV

    Is it possible that you are using the same password for the old O2 Study and newer O2 Apple Base Station networks?
    If so, Keychain Access is storing the old information about the old network and may be associating it with your AirPort Extreme settings based on the BSSID that William has mentioned.
    If that's the case, open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access and look for a listing with the old network name. Delete this entry. You may need to power down both the computer and the AirPort Extreme and restart them.

  • Home Sharing across two iTunes accounts?

    Hello. My wife and I each have two separate iTunes accounts. Is it possible to configure iTunes to Home Share across both accounts? Thanks!

    I think I have the same question, but when you say home saring are you talking about on an Apple TV? My wife and I have an imac with seperate profiles, each profile has an itunes account, and we want to be able to both be able to access our itunes from the apple tv.  We went under itunes and > advanced > and clicked on turn on home sharing for both accounts, we see each others libraby when logged onto other profile, but can't get the option on the Apple TV. We also went into I-tunes preferences and turned on sharing. I also beleive under the advanced option menu there is a place to share photos, (from i-photo). Hope this helps.

  • TS2972 is it possible to use home sharing between two users on the same computer?

    My wife and I have itunes accounts and want to be able to share music we have each bought on our accounts. We have tried setting up the home sharing on our PC but it doesn't show up on the screen. Can anyone please help?

    "Is it possible to use home sharing between two users on the same computer?"
    No. Home sharing is used to connect two running instances of iTunes across a network. When you switch users on the computer all applications running on the other profile are suspended.
    You can however share your respective media folders so that they are visible in either profile and then copy over any content that you want, or you could create a single joint library which you use when either user is logged in.

  • How do I use Home Sharing with two different apple accounts?

    How do I use Home Sharing with two different apple accounts?

    Morning Saintine,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Home Sharing enables you to stream or transfer music, movies, TV shows, apps, and more among up to five authorized computers in your household. To do so, you will need to Turn on Home Sharing on each computer using the same Apple ID.

  • Two WiFi Networks with Time Capsule

    After installing TC (attached to an existing router), I seem to have two WiFi networks. is this normal? what should I do?

    Thanks for the clarification. 
    In general, unless you really need two wireless networks, it is a good idea to turn the wireless function off on one of your routers to reduce the chances of wireless interference that might occur between them.
    If you notice no problems running two networks, you can leave both "on" if you want. In the future, if you notice diminished wireless performance, you probably will need to turn off the wireless function on one of your routers.

  • Problems sharing across two computers on home lan

    I must be doing something basic wrong. The instructions for sharing a downloaded digital edtion sound very easy in the help manual but following those directions I am not able to share a book across two computers on my home lan.
    Both computers have been authorized by my user id. When I open the menu item on Library menu/Authorize computer
    I'm told the computer is authorized and my UID is shown. However when I attempt to `add' the book I get a message saying:
    > This document cannot be opened on this machine.
    > Please contact the site where you obtained the document
    > to download another copy.
    I just bought the book today not more than 2 hrs ago
    The `knowledgbase' help for digital editions is completely useless and returns no hits regardless of what I type in the search field.
    What else do I need to do to share a book across two home computers?

    Harry
    You shouldn't need anything else. The common problems (after you have gotten past the authorization) for sharing are:
    - You copy over the .etd file instead of the .pdf file.
    - You copy over the .pdf file from /Digital Editions/ebx_backup instead of /Digital Editions. (My best guess, given the error message).
    - The file was purchased with only rights to view it on a single machine.
    The not so common and more worrisome case would be if the License was not being correctly written into the file after you purchase it.
    I would suggest that after verifying you are copying the correct file, you should open up a web support case, so that Bentley can track this, and help us gather all the correct information so we can figure out what is going on.
    Sorry you're having problems

  • Home sharing across networks

    Is there any way to enable Home Sharing with a computer on an external network? I have a mac at work that I'd love to be able to synchronize with my home computer. It's already authorized. Do I need to setup port forwarding on my router? Will it even work?

  • Can I do Home Sharing over two diffident Wi-Fi networks?

    I have home sharing set up on my computer, but can I play music from my computer on my laptop when I'm in somebody else's Wi-Fi?

    Your computers, iPod Touch, iPad, or iPhone must be connected to the same wi-fi network.

  • Home Sharing - works in WiFi, not Ethernet: Help!

    Hi all -
    I've had an Apple TV happily working with Home Sharing from a Mac Mini when both were on the WiFi network from my Time Capsule router.
    However, I've just installed Ethernet cabling at home so all three are now connected on a wired network, and Home Sharing is no longer working on the Apple TV.
    The Apple TV simply says that it can't find the Mac, and to check that it is on the same network. However, there's only one wired network / LAN in the building - just two CAT5 cables running to the Time Capsule, which is then getting the Internet from a cable modem.
    Any idea how I can resolve this?

    This is a user forum. Lotsa folks asking questions, few sticking around to give any answers. Just depends who is around to see a message and whether they have any ideas to help. Could take days, not minutes or hours.
    +I have created and tried this with three different accounts, but they all fail to enable Home Sharing.+
    I'm confused why you're trying 3 different accounts. Try it using the same single account and two different PCs. Does that work? Can you download and play a free song of the week using one of those itunes store accounts?
    Going forward, I hope you decide to only use one account. They can never be combined later. You'll have to forever remember the login credentials of each itunes store account if you move stuff to a new PC.
    I tried 3 accounts, because none of them work for Apple TV. Yet, all three of them DO access the Apple store and forums and music and everything on this website.
    Did I say anything about combining these accounts? Not even remotely helpful.
    It's the same for me, as it is for rlongfield22(above).
    I am absolutely serious: Apple is the most difficult, ridiculous, illogical interface I have EVER seen in 18 years of computing and using the internet. I use both MACs and PCs daily, so I can easily compare the experiences on many levels.
    I know what I am doing on a PC and I rarely make common errors. I know my Apple ID and pass by heart(all three of them). I know my PC and network name by heart. My network and PC have the passwords blank.
    So,...I should be able to have my Apple TV work, by simply activating Home Sharing on this network(done that successfully) and then activating it on my Apple TV(doesn't work).
    I have tried activating Apple TV network first and tried activating Home Sharing first, but neither one works. When I plug in the Apple TV, the blue light flashes and then stays on.

  • Can Home Sharing service two Apple IDs at once?

    We have two Apple IDs, so some of our music and movies in iTunes have been purchased with one ID, and some with the other.  I'm setting up Home Sharing, and want to make sure that all the music and movies will be available to us at all times.
    Am I correct in the following assumption?  If Home Sharing is turned on to my account on both iTunes and the iPad, I'll be able to access ALL the music and movies, and if Home Sharing is turned on to my wife's account on both iTunes and iPad, we'll also be able to access everything exactly the same? 
    Is there any drawback here to having two accounts?
    Thanks in advance ...

    It's true that a wireless adapter (e.g. airport extreme card) can only join one network at a time since it has a single radio. But if you got, for instance, a wifi USB dongle then you could use this to connect to a second network. Disclaimer: I've not tested this configuration myself. But having multiple active network interfaces is certainly supported so I expect it to work.

  • My MBP keeps having to switch between two WiFi networks

    Our current WiFi network set-up at home is one Cisco router provided by our ISP (WiFi network: GIORGETTI), connected to another Linksys router (WiFi network: GIORGETTI II) which allows us to use the WiFi upstairs. The signal from both networks reaches my Macbook, but I'm finding that I'm constantly having to swap connections between the two because at some point it the internet connection on my Macbook seems to freeze, websites stop loading or working and I'm forced to connect to whichever of the two networks I'm not currently connected to to access the internet again. I don't know if I'm overloading the internet or something, cause it seems to just happen at random as I browse. I have to do this several times every hour and it's getting really irritating. I've tried restarting the routers and forgetting the networks and re-joining but still the same thing. The internet seems to work fine on my iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2. Any thoughts?
    I'm running a Macbook Pro Retina 15-inch, Mid-2014
    2.5 Ghz Intel Core i7 - 16GB 1600 Mhz DDR3 - 512 GB
    OS X Yosemite 10.10.3

    Do both wi-fi base stations share exact settings and name, if they do, perhaps
    there would be a seamless use of either one across all of the devices in use.
    •Wi-Fi base stations: Extending the range of your wireless network by adding additional Wi-Fi base stations - Apple Support
    With Apple AirPort base stations, you can set them up a special way to extend
    a network, if they are using the same setting. - With your other brand, it may be
    the fact is their ranges do not overlap well for use with your MacBook Pro. Are
    you certain the iPhone and iPad products are using the same wi-fi as the MB/P
    or are they able to access by cellular network instead of the wi-fi base stations?
    In the past, my wi-fi base station in use was one with an external antenna port
    so I was able to obtain an antenna so as to add range to the main base station.
    This worked well, so long as I avoided placing wi-fi device by metal walls, or
    concrete, or near other devices that generate interrupting similar signals. A fair
    way to extend a network is by Ethernet between wi-fi base stations.
    There is a possibility of having over-extended or over loaded the wi-fi capacity
    of your local internet connection, in some instances. Note this is mentioned in
    the above linked article in the section where the topic covers using a single or
    more than one base station in a local wireless network.
    You may be able to check the MacBook/Pro settings to see if you can allow it to
    see and use more than one wi-fi source of your choosing, not 'any' but just those
    in your Location for more seamless use. Or re-design the wireless network for
    better use in the location the problem currently exists.

    get dropped or are weaker due to construction of the building or layout of content.
