Hook up two 160gb Apple TVs to one TV?

My wife's music collection is pretty awful, so I don't want it mixed in with all of the awesome content on mine.
Does anyone know if I can plug two of the 160GB units into one TV as long as I have enough HDMI slots on the TV? Will I have an issue with one remote turning the other unit? Are there any other potential problems you can think of?
I'll load hers with content from our desktop, while the existing unit will continue to sync from our laptop.
Thanks for the help!

I like the idea of having hers be the shared or "secondary" library, but from what I've read, hers will have to stream rather than reside on the hard drive. Is that correct?
Also, when you stream to the 160gb Apple TV, do you have any control via the remote over the song selection when you're playing music or do you have to set up a playlist before you begin streaming? Will her full library show up (and be accessible by the remote) under the "shared" section of the music menu once we start streaming?
Thanks!

Two Apple TVs. One going, the other not. Why?

I have 2 Apple TVs. One 720 the other 1080. The 720 is working fine and will operate at either TV.
The 1080 will not work at either TV.
I go to set it up and I get all the screens including passwords, itunes account etc, but cannot get on to my network.
The DNS.Router, Password etc settings are identical on both Apple TVs.
I tried all avenues using my wi fi connected to my Apple TVs, to no avail.
Trouble shooting from Apple and from Forums I have followed all the advice.
Currently I am downloading as per instructions from my Mac Book Pro via micro USB.
It has been running for two hours or more, still shows another 13 hours to run. BTW I do have ADSL 2 Broadband which is usually quite fast for anything else to download.
Several times I have done this as after several hours it pops up the message "Cannot Contact Server at this time".
So I start again.
Also going through the check list from the iTunes Help on the tool bar, I am getting a message "Take to Apple for Service".
My guess is that the Apple TV is faulty and needs to be either replaced or serviced.
Alhough I do not know how this could be done as it seems to be a solid "puck" like device and completly sealed.
My 720 Apple TV has been performing without fault since new, I can upgrade my iTunes each time a new one comes out (the latest one is installed) or a new IOS from Apple is installed (currently IOS 10.8.2 Mountin Lion).
Apple TV is a great add on for my computer and home entertainment, but I am sick of wasting my time trying to work through this glitch...

Thanks for the response - I'm on Mac OS 10.4.11 I did rename my Apple TVs - so the names are different.
Also, sometimes my second Apple TV isn't showing on my iTunes either. This is very frustrating!
I'm also on a dual 2.3 GHZ PowerPC G5 (not an intel version). iTunes software version 7.6.2 (9)

The iphone will mirror the selected content of your computer.
Make sure everything is on your computer. Select what you want on your iphone, sync

This would be a violation of the terms of use of the itunes store and could result in the loss of your account.
You cannot use the U.K. itunes store unless you are in the U.K

How do I hook up two 24 Apple LED with macbook pro 2011?

How do I hook up two 24" Apple LED displays with my MacBook Pro 2011

I would think that with only a single TB port the best you can do is connect only a single display. No chaining possible.
If a splitter can be found (didn't check if there is such a thing) then you probably could drive two displays but of course they would be mirrored.

I have 2 apple tvs. One in the bedroom, one in the living room. When I try to airplay from my iPad, only the bedroom icon shows up. How do I add the living room?

Firstly, go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with the ID you use for iCloud. A new password will be sent to your associated email address.
If that doesn't work, for example because it's going to an address you can't access, then you will have to contact Support. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password' and click 'Continue'.

Can you have two apple tvs on one wireless network?

Can two or more Apple TVs exist on one wireless newtork?

No, in this case the 2 user accounts with its own Apple IDs would be completely seperated.
If you want to share this things like music and app purchases you will have to to something else.
1. Create two user accounts on your Mac (user A and user B).
2. Create two iCloud accounts just for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Photos, etc. (one for user A and one for user B):
On your Mac (with Mac OS X Lion or Mountan Lion):
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > iCloud > Create an Apple ID (button in left corner)
On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (iOS 5 or later):
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > iCloud > Get a free @me.com address and create a new Apple ID
3. It is not recommended because you shouldn't share your Apple ID account information with other people but you could set up your old Apple ID as an account just for store purchases (Apps, Music, ...) so that everyone of you can manage the purchases in their own library (Access is limited to 10 devices). Therefore you have to setup this "old" ID in Settings of your iOS devices (Settings > iTunes & App Store) and in iTunes on your Mac.

Two or more apple TVs to one account?

Is it possible to have two or more Apple TVs in the same household that are tied to one account? I'm assuming if that is true, then the content linked to my account should be shared between both Apple TVs as well. Correct?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi,
this should not be a problem.

HT3819 can I use two or more Apple Tvs on one network?

I have two Apple TVs on my network, one in a basement cinema and the other in the ground floor TV room - if I use the one in the basement, then stop using it and then later in the day try and use the one in the TV room I get an error message asking me to turn on home sharing. I have to go upstairs to my MAC turn home sharing off and then on again for the second Apple TV to work. The same thing happens if I subsequently try and use the Apple TV down in the basement. I am not trying to use them both at the same time. Does anyone know if I can run two (or more) Apple TVs on the same network and if so how do I get around the home sharing error I keep getting? Thanks!

Of my 7 Apple TV's only one is connected by ethernet, they all work as expected, more often than not at the same time (I probaly haven't had 7 running at the same time, it depends on who's using what))
