How many computers can sync with Apple TV at the same time?

I'm thinking of buying one of these things for my parents as a last-minute Christmas gift. They both have their own iMac, with their own choice of music/movies/photos/etc. If I get them this device and set it up in their living room, could they stream content from both computers to this?

So all I'd have to do for set up, is turn on the "share library" in their iTunes? Alright, sounds easy enough.
No, AppleTV's are set up in a specific manner.
You can sync with 1 iTunes library, and stream from several.
Synced material is seen under My Music, My Movies categories of the respective media types (Music/Movies/TV Shows/Podcasts), and if iTunes is running any compatible material that hasn't synced (copied to AppleTV in order to play if computer is off) can be streamed as needed.
Streaming libraries that don't sync are selected under a My Shared Music/Movies etc category,and stream as needed, but only one is selected at a time.
To set up a library to sync/stream, AppleTV announces itself across the network to itunes, and a 5 digit code appears on the connected TV which is then entered in iTunes on the machine which is being added to 'computers'. Quite simple really.

    Thanks in Advance.
    I am using a G5 as a server with external drives attached. I get a message from time to time that says "too many users are logged in at once", is there a limit to how many people can log into a G5 at once ?
    All are on different users, and it's a total gigabit network.

  • How many records can be set in VK11 at the same time?

It is working fine if i am sending file with 2000 records but if more number of records are passed in file it is not giving any error but some records only get uploaded in the system.Is there any limit in vk11 to set the records at the same time.
    Thanks in Advance.

    But instead u can go for BAPI.

  • How many computers can sync to one ipad?

    I teach at a university.  Our department is discussing ordering several iPads (maybe iPod Touches, also) for faculty to share.  Faculty would be creating materials for the classroom and using the iPad in place of written/printed notes and/or for presentations.  The question I raised is how many computers can sync to one iPad?  My assumption is that individual faculty would create such materials on their office or personal computers, then load those materials onto an iPad. 

    All iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, Touch) are designed to sync with a single iTunes library, i.e. a single computer.
    You can sync multiple iOS devices to the same iTunes library (same account) or multiple iOS devices to the same computer with different iTunes accounts and libraries.
    In your case, if each individual creates their own material, they can sync it from their iTunes account (library) on their computer.
    Also, there are many apps out there that allow you to move files from the cloud to the device, i.e. Box.net, Airstash, Dropbox, etc.  Perhaps you could set that up and have individuals create material, sync it to the cloud and then allow others to access it via the iPad.
    I suggest you contact other faculty at other universities that may have done this, perhaps via some faculty forums.

    But how many ipod can I sync with only one iunes store account?
    None.
    iPod don't sync with an iTunes account.
    iPods sync with iTunes on a computer.
    You can have 5 computers authorized to play songs/movies from one iTunes account.
    Each computer can have 5 iTunes accounts authorized.
    An iPod can have music/movies from 5 different iTunes accounts.
    Note that this only applies to iTunes purchases with DRM, which is movies, tv shows and older iTunes music. All music now purcahsed is DRM free.

  • How to press 2 keys with "keyPress" event" at the same time?

    Hi~~
    I 'm now developing a Java Application that need to press 2 key(keyEvent) at the same time, but it seem not to work after trying.
    So, I wonder how to make it work?
    Thank~~

    You can use a "modifier" (Control, Alt, Shift) key in combination with a regular key, but you can't combine regular keys unless you add some custom logic.
    Basically in the keyPressed event you need to store the previous key that was pressed and add some comparison logic to see if the two keys you are monitoring where pressed back to back.

    Yes
    The licence details depend on how you originally purchased Logic. The original (DVD) licence allows for you to have Logic installed on 2 computers, provided that you do not use both at the same time.
    The Appstore Licence allows you to install on any computer that you own. See this article for a simple guide
