How can my AppleTV access both my iTunes library and my wife's?

I've gone through several threads and instructions with no definitive "It's not possible." So can someone help me find an easy way to have our AppleTV access my music, TV shows and movies (which it does under our main account), but also those on my wife's iTunes (a separate account; separate computer)?
Many thanks!

  • How can I view my daughter's iTunes library and have it download to my iTunes library?

    I have a lot of Apple devices and also Apple IDs (too many created mostly accidentally over time) but when I bought my daughter her iPod, I created her own Apple ID. I only recently allowed her to download some new music and videos as a reward to her and now I wish I had them in my iTunes LIbrary so I can have them on myiPhone, on my iMac, Apple TV or iPad.  I didn't want her to have access to my Apple ID on her iPod and felt limiting it by creating her own account with a PW only I know (so she cannot download anything unless I do it) would create the controls I wanted. I have logged out of my ID and then into hers as I am in the iTunes application, but don't knwo where I can ask it to "transfer purchases made on this iPod to my iTunes Library".  Home sharing will not work since as I just read you can only use one Apple ID to have that work.
    What is the best way for families or people with numerous accounts to share music and other apps., etc., bought with many Apple IDs?
    I wish they made it as a "sub account" of my main one and then they all where part of a sort of directory tree so that all music bought under sub directories was owned and automatically transferred to the main account.  Could this be done?

    On your iOS device:
    Settings > Music > turn Show ALl Music off
    This will hide purchases that are not locally on your device.
    In iTunes create a Playlist with just your music and sync only that playlist.

  • How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another?

    How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another? My daughter has an iTouch, and I was managing it through my library. I have created an iTunes account for her, with a new iTouch, and would like to move the apps over. I tried to sync the old iTouch to the new library and it said it was already set up to sync with a different library. What is the best way to do this?

    You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    To make the new computer the syncing computer you have to:
    - Transfer iTunes purchases lIke I described above
    - Make a backup of the iPod on that computer by connecting the iPod and then right-clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
    - Restore the iPOd from that backup
    She will have to continue to use your iTunes ID to update the apps prchased with your account. To use her account she will have to log into the computer with her account (iTunes>Store) and change the sign in on the iPod by going to Settings>Store.

  • How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs

    How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs & artists? What is the correct way to transfer my 3000 songs to Time capsule, to free the memory of my Mac? Thanks a lot. Carlo Molinari (Rome - Italy)

    How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs & artists? What is the correct way to transfer my 3000 songs to Time capsule, to free the memory of my Mac?
    The following are the basic steps to transfer your iTunes Media folder from your MacBook Pro to the Time Capsule (TC). Note: You will leave the iTunes Library, and its associated files, on the MacBook Pro as you will only be moving the media files.
    Be sure to shutdown iTunes before starting.
    Next, move the "iTunes Music" folder, located in ~/Music/iTunes/, to wherever you want on your TC's internal hard drive. Remember to leave the Album Artwork folder, as well as the three individual library files where they are on the MacBook Pro.
    Wait a while. If you have a large library, this will take a bit of time.
    Once the iTunes Media folder has been transferred, open iTunes. Note: It will still be looking at your local iTunes Library on the MBP. As such it will think that the iTunes Media folder is still on the MBP as well. However, we just relocated it to the TC. If you attempt to select any song, you will get an error that the song is "missing." Not to worry, we will correct this in the next step.
    We need to tell iTunes the media has moved to the TC's internal HDD. To change where iTunes "looks" for the media, open iTunes and go to the Advanced > General tab and use the "Change..." button to tell it where your new "iTunes Music" library is located.
    Once this is done iTunes will likely pop up a progress window telling you that it's re-analyzing your library. Let it complete this step.
    As a final check to make sure everything when as planned, click on any library file from within iTunes and press cmd + i (or View > Get Info). At the bottom of the Summary tab in that window is a "Where:" section that tells you the actual file path to that piece of media; be sure that path begins with the name of your TC's drive, and not "Macintosh HD."

    iCloud doesn't have anything to do with texts or phone calls. Those are both tied to your phone number and SIM, not to an iCloud account.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't merge accounts.
    You can however share or import content from another library/account using homesharing.

  • BIAPPS how can we manually set both ETL start date and end date?

    Dears experts,
    how can we manually set both ETL start date and end date while conducting incremental load IN DAC?
    Please advise me.
    thanks,
    Joe.

    You can set those dates in the DAC system parameters tab. You should see lots of $$xxxxxx parameters.
    If I may, I'd suggest you use the OBI Applications forum for questions on DAC.

    Create new IDs for each by:
    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use that Id only for:
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into the new one. Make sure that only that ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into the new . Make sure that under You can be reached at only the new ID email address is listed
    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with the new one
    Continue to the one one common ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores. That is what controls purchases.

    Has she transferred iTunes content to her iPhone from an iTunes library on another computer or from a different iTunes library on the same computer?
    If not, you transfer music to her iPhone from your iTunes library in the same way the music was transferred to your iPhone. If she has any iTunes content on her iPhone that was transferred from a different iTunes library, all iTunes content on her iPhone will be erased first.
