How can we use 2 Apple ID's with 1 Apple TV??

We just bought an Apple TV device.  We anticipate liking it, but are a bit stuck at the moment.
We have 2 laptops (PC), 2 Apple ID's and 1 Apple TV device.  How can we use the Apple TV with each of our unique ID's?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks - s2557

The answer is YES. with no problems. In fact you can connect up to FIVE units in one itunes (But no more). I have no idea why OR who was the FOOL, that picked only 5 units. This has set limitation on their own product. I currently use 5 Apple Tvs at work for a interdepartmental media network. It just runs slide shows and training video's. I needed 9 units up and running, So I have another computer just to pickup the last 4 units, and shared the file folders I run 5 units at home as well. However you have to leave that itunes up and running. The five authorized limitation is also a pain. Steve said he was dong away with DRM, I guess that didn't work out to well. In short, I run 5 laptops, 3 desktops, 1 Mac Pro, 4 Ipads, 4 Iphones AND one Mac Mini with server 10.5.6 for a family of 4. The FIVE number limitation is a major pain. Best of luck to you.

  • How can I use itunes store credit with Apple TV without the credit card code?

    I would like to allow guests in my home to use the credit in my iTunes account to purchase movies and TV shows on the Apple TV in my guest room.
    Unfortunately, it seems that in order to make a purchase they will need my credit card security code.  If they have this, then they could purchase an arbitrary number of movies, but I would like to limit purchases to the credit in the account.
    Is there any solution here?  How can I give my guests an Apple TV "allowance" (not a monthly allowance, a one-time allowance) and not give them my credit card security code?

    You can't really do this with an already existing AppleID from what I know. Now, if you don't have an AppleID, here's the run-down of how to do it:

    Yes, the email addresses need to be unique to each device. You may use the same Apple ID on each device, but the email address used by each device needs to be different.

    Look at the more like this. On the right column next to the post.
    Load airport utility for windows.. which will also load bonjour for windows.
    In windows explorer type \\TCname or \\TCipaddress (replacing with the actual values.. names with spaces will give you trouble so change all names in the TC to SMB compatible or actual ip address).

    Unfortnately you cannot. Thunderbolt is an onboard chip that will require an updated Mac Pro. It is not a graphics card upgrade, but a full logicboard upgrade.
    Apple has not updated the Mac Pro in 580 days - as of this post. Hopefully one is right around the corner...but I've been hoping for that for over a year.

  • How can I use find a phone with my family members but they each have there own email

    How can I use find a phone with my family's iphone when they already have email addresses?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't use find my phone from your phone if your other family members use another iCloud account.
    You have two options depending on why you want to find the phones.
    Use find my phone at iCloud.com on a mac/PC and log in using their account.
    Use the find my friends app

    It is not possible to create a new iCloud account using a Windows machine. You must create the account using a Mac (10.7.5 or more) or an IOS device (iPhone etc). Once that is done you can sign into and use the account on your Windows machine.

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

  • How can i use an email address with an apostrophe as my apple ID

    I need use a school email address for a new Apple ID but it has an apostrophe, and Apple does not see it as a valid address. How can I use that email?

    Welcome to the Apple Community Juduth.
    If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

  • How can I use undo and redo with run time menu?

    Hi..I try to built my own menu for graphic programming. How can I use undo and redo in labview with run time menu?

    filozof-
    During runtime, by default, LabVIEW has undo/redo data changes under the edit menu. This will undo/redo changes made to controls during runtime. If you want a more extensive undo/redo (custom for your application), you are going to have to do quite a few things
    1) Create a custom runtime menu (Edit>>RunTime Menu) and place your own undo/redo controls on it
    2) Keep an action history in your program
    3) Catch the Shortcut menu event for your custom undo/redo controls
    4) Reverse the last action in your histroy when you catch the event
    This method would allow you undo entire operations (like resize, move, or whatever kind of functionality you are building into your application) unstead of just undoing data changes.

  • How can I use the setup utility with my gaming adapter?

    How can I use this program (the cd that came with my netgear wireless game adapter) to setup my gaming adapter? I want to configure my gaming adapter but it seems like i cannot do so? How can I achieve this?

    Hi again,
    thought a bit about this...
    This thing looks to me like a special sort of wireless router with one ethernet port, which also is a bit old I guess.
    With nowadays wireless router, the configuration usually is made using a Web-Browser like Safari or Firefox and accessing the router through a built-in webpage.
    The IP adress of the router is also usually 192.168.0.1.
    Have a look inside the Netgear-Documentation, to see if this also possible here.
