How many Apple TVs can you connect to a server without it dying?

Hi
I'm interested in setting up a media server on a boat for up to 40 cabins and was wondering if it's possible to do this with apple TVs? Any comments? I can split the number of Apple TVs going to a server into floors of approx 15 each, but was wondering what i'd need to make it work? Just a big meaty PC with loads of Memory or is it just destined to fail?
I'm wondering how many apple TVs you can connect to a server. Obviously wired as wireless is just not an option.
Thanks
Paul

Assuming your 40 cabins are not all for your own personal use, have you considered licensing issues relating to streaming to up to 40 TVs on a boat?
Unless you have an appropriate license with a supplier that provides legal music/movies in a suitable format for AppleTV, I would imagine installing such a system in a non-personal environment would be a bit dubious.
There are undoubtedly commercial solutions of one kind of another, but AppleTV is not marketed in this way as far as I'm aware.

  • How many Apple TVs can you have on one iTunes account?

    Just wondering how many Apple Tvs I can put on my iTunes account.  Already have one in the living room and I was looking to put one more in the bedroom.

    That would be fine.

  • How many apple TVs can you have on one network 5, 10, 15, infinite?

    I have an application where there are many rooms and I would like to be able to use Airplay in each room, can I buy 10 or more Apple TV units and put them all over my house on my wireless network and be able to airplay to any one of them? What is the limit of Apple TVs that I can have in one area. Has anyone tried this? How many have you maxed out at? What is the limitation?

    There is no specified limitation but you will encounter a practical one. It will be a function of the numerous and generally unpredictable variables that affect any wireless network.
    Ten Apple TVs is certainly within the realm of possibility though. This post reports success with fifteen of them.

  • How many apple tvs can i run at once

    i want to set up a trade show booth with apple tvs and a mac mini. how many apple tvs can i run off a mac mini? i want to run different slideshows.

    Pretty sure that one device (the mini) will only be able to interact with one Apple TV.  At best you might be abel to connect to multiple ATVs but they would all run the same content. (and I have my doubts about that)
    You can use the mini and multiple Apple TV's to watch different content, indeed you can only watch different content although you can listen to the same content. For the avoidance of doubt different includes the same content but not in sync.

    how many apple tv can I connect with one account?

    there are 2 recent posts that suggest issues over 5, one where someone was trying to troubleshoot for a friend or client as they couldn't keep more than 5 connected, and the other where somone had more than 5 but was using 2 separate itunes libraries to share the load - not sure if that was with the same or differing AppleIDs.
    I guess there is always the possibility that things kight vary from one itunes version to the next even unintentionally to allow more.

  • HT4941 how many mac mini can you connect to a thunder bolt display

    how many mac minis can you you connect to a thunder bolt display and if so how do you switch between them

    Here's the official page on connection options (you can connect one computer to a display).
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4885
    I've read elsewhere that you can connect two computers to the Thunderbolt Display, but you can't switch between them per se.  You can only power up one at a time.  Anyone, feel free to correct me on this, but my understanding is this is not an officially supported configuration.

  • How many video chats can you use with this server?

    I am looking to develop a multi-video chat app that's easy to
    build. Can I use Stratus with this? Or do I need to use FMS.

    none of the video streams will pass through Stratus. Stratus
    only enables end-to-end streams. You are limited only by the amount
    of bandwidth the client ends have as far as how many different
    streams can be flowing.
    if you need to relay streams through a server (the to-many
    case, or the end-to-end is blocked by firewalls or certain NAT
    configurations cases), you'll need to use FMS.

  • How many Apple TVs can login to one Flickr account?

    If I have twelve Apple TVs in different conference rooms, can I have all of them login to one Flickr account so they can all show the same photos on their screensavers? I couldn't find this on the Flickr site so I figured I'd try here. Thanks to anyone who can offer up an answer.

    In addition to accessing the Flickr site, Apple TV also supports connecting to personal Flickr accounts. I want to connect twelve apple TVs to one personal Flickr account and wanted to find out if anyone knew if there were limitations to doing this. I'm trying to avoid finding out down the road that this results in some sort of problem and creates an issue at the wrong time resulting in a bad user experience.

  • How many apple devices can you sync to the same itunes account

    I'm trying to sync 2 ipod touches with my itunes account along with my iphone. On one ipod, when I try to sync up it ghosts out my sync apps. I can purchase apps and they appear in my library but can transfer to ipod. Help!

    This is a very odd problem, because it should connect to as many as you want. The problem could be a few things so check these and get back to me
    see if iTunes is set to sync apps to that iPod
    make sure the iPods are sighed into your apple account
    make sure your computer is registered to your apple account
    if none of these work, give some more information, the more the better when trouble shooting.

  • How many Apple devices can you use on one computer?

    I am using a single PC which I use to connect my IPod classic, my IPad, my IPhone and my very old Ipod (which my partner now uses) to Itunes, so that's 4 devices. In the past, on the same computer I had used another Ipod classic which only lasted for about a year.
    Now my partner is considering buying an Ipod nano and we are thinking about changing the Ipad to get the latest one. So that's 6 devices in all (7 counting the IPod classic I do not have anymore).
    Can I use the same ID for all of them? (I only have 4 devices really as the new IPad will replace the one we have now. Also my partner will use the same ITunes library to transfer whatever songs he wants into his new Ipod nano). But my partner is considering getting an Iphone as well!
    I am worried we'll have to create a new Apple ID and a new library for his devices and I suppose this will take a lot of memory (which won't be possible on this PC as it only has about 15MG left in drive C...).
    Please advise, thank you!!!

    There's no limit to the number of devices you can sync with one iTunes library. For automatic downloads from the iTunes Store and iTunes Match, the limit is 10 devices, including computers, per Apple ID.

  • How many itunes libraries can you sync to apple tv?

    How many itunes libraries can you sync to apple tv?
    I read through the manual and it didn't mention anything about multiple libraries.
    All I found was about streaming more than one computer.
    Isn't this supposed to be a product that's multi-user orientated?

    AC is correct, but remember the 5 streams does include the synced library (in case you don't want to move all your content over to your AppleTV box)

  • HT3291 how many apple tv can access shared computer

    How many Apple tv Can Access one shared computer

    Depends on your network connection.  If you are going to do more than one you DEFINETLY need to use a wired, not wireless, connection.  You can do a couple easily this way.  There are some people that have posed on here that use 10 or more but that is pretty extreme and your computer would need a pretty heavy IO bus to handle that.

  • How many Airport Expresses can you link and still work properly

    How many Airiport Expresses can you link and still work properly.

    It would depend on whether all of these base stations will be interconnected by Ethernet or by wireless and what your goal is with them.
    In a roaming network, where all base stations would be connected by Ethernet, you could have 10+ base stations. Apple has never (at least to me) any limits on the number of base stations that can be used in this type of network.
    In an extended network, where all of the base stations use wireless connections, the practical limit would be 4 or 5 base stations.
