How to add another Computer to my Apple TV?

I've had my apple TV for a while and really like it. If I rember correctly it used to be easy to add another computer to my Computer list on Apple TV. But for some reason I can't seem to do it anymore.
I intend to take my main home imac down for maintenance over the weekend. I run my itunes library from an external hard drive.
What I want to do is take my external drive with my itunes library and connecvt it to my macbook and run my apple TV from there while my main imac is down.
I thought that if I launched the itunes on the macbook, then enabled homesharing then my macbook would appear on my apple TV compuers list and I could just select it..
But it doesn't!
Any ideas?
One thng that it maybe is that my apple TV is connected to my imac via a physical eithernet.
Would it make sence to diosconnect that and go WiFi and then see if my apple TV picks up the macbook?
Thanks for any advise!

Is the MB setup with the same home sharing ID as the iMac? It should make no difference whether you are on wifi or ethernet, in fact any issues with discovery are typically related to wifi.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I assume you mean another computer. Set up homesharing on the second computer using the same ID and password that you used for the first computer.

How do I add another computer to my account to authorize

How do I add another computer to authorize on my account list so I can use or redeem my gift cards and use my store credit?

You can authorize up to 5 computers.
To authorize you need to install iTunes on the computer to be authorized:
Open iTunes
From Store in the menu bar, choose Authorize This Computer. (If the menu bar is not visible hit CTRL-B).
When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.

How to add another Chapter Page for more then 6 chapters & add right arrow?

Hello,
I created a project via the Magic iDVD option and it worked great and added multiple chapter pages for more then 6 chapters. Now, I manually added a submeno off of main and added 6 chapters but I need multiple pages since I have 40 chapters... I can't figure out how to add another chapter page and create a RIGHT ARROW navigation button for the next pages...
I also looked at the map view and see that on the working pages there is page connected to page... I also cannot find a way to add a page connected vi map view...
I have searched the forum but none of the answers were clear on how to do this... any help would be appreciated...
Thanks! T.

Adding the submenu is easy...making the button for it a "right arrow" is not.
You can keep adding submenus to other submemus by navigating to the appropriate menu and then choose the "add submenu" command from the iDVD project menu. This can be done in either normal or map view.
However, this creates a "folder" button, (or other things in some themes) not a right arrow. I agree it should be a choice! My 2nd best solution is to chage the folder button to a "text only button" and label it "More Chapters > >"
Another solution (3rd best??) is to use command-shift-4 when you are one one of your other menus that DOES have a right arrow, and take a mini picture of the arrow. Then choose one of the oval menu buttons on the button pane, and drag this tiny picture onto the button. Re-size it to make it close to the same size as your other buttons. It will have a funny edge on it from the button style, but it will look like a right arrow.

Can I add another computer to this subscription?

Can I add another computer to this subscription?

Hi doughnutking3,
The licensing agreement allows you to use your subscription on up to two computers, as long as both are associated with the same Adobe ID. So, all you need to do is log in to the service from that second computer, and all is well!
Best,

Custom display template - how to add anothe display template for refimement item?
I add a new filter_default_custom.html file and want to create new refinement item display template to point to it

Not 100% if I understood the question, but if you uploaded your template to the Master Gallery and the corresponding .js file has been created, you can open the refinement config panel and specify the result type you want to map to your custom template.

How do I add another email to my Apple ID account

Is it possible to add another email account to my Apple ID? I have one Apple ID that I would like to share between my Iphone 4S, my wife's Iphone 4, my Ipad, and Ipod. I would like to add/ authorize her email address to my one Apple ID. Is it possible to do this?

There's no need to add an email to the Apple ID, simply set up the Apple ID on all the devices you would like to use it on.

HT6413 how do add another email address to icloud

I have just bought a windows 8 laptop as a second back up, but I cannot add a non apple email to icloud for windows
does anybody know how I can do this?

Thank you so much for tolerating the confusion I created for myself. YEA
About the "enter email address" ... gee, how did I think Firefox was going to be able to communicate with me?
So... I go to the AOL mailbox, sign in as usual, the little box is coming down, and I click on save ... ah ha
If I am on another computer, I will open Firefox ... enter the master password ... and move on as usual? ... because all this is on Firefox servers.
Small confusion ... scenario ... I am to work on a computer without Firefox installed, and I may not install it. What do I do (say, to get on Yahoo mail) or anywhere else?
Thank you many many times.

How to authorize another computer

how do I get another computer authorized to have full access. Went to store to authorize computer, entered the ID and Password and could see account info, but no music was accessible. How do I get the music to come up?

Which music ? Your own content or music in the iTunes store ?
If your own music then you need to copy it from your old computer or backup to the new computer and then add it to iTunes via File > Add Folder To Library (currently only in the US can past music purchases be re-downloaded). Copying music between computers : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
If music in the store so that you can buy it, then not all content types are available in all countries (due to things such as licensing). A full list of the types of content that are available in each country is shown on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3599 . If you are in a country where music is not available, then unfortunately you won't be able to buy music from Apple (and the terms of use of the stores state that you can only use your own country's store). Are there other music purchases download sites where you are ? Or you can copy your own CDs

I cannot add another computer via Firefox Sync.

I followed these instructions:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-a-device-to-firefox-sync#w_add-another-computer
However, when I click "I Have A Firefox Sync Account" I get redirected to the "Add a Device" page.
How can this be fixed?
Is there another way to migrate FF from a Win XP 32-bit to a Win 7 64-bit OS?

How to add a computed field to a reports

I have a report where I would like to add a column that is the sequence of the row. It is not the rownum in the db, but I want it to be a row number for what is returned.
So, if I return 10 records, I would like a column to contain 1 through 10 to depict the row number.
I do not want to have this number in the table or view.
Is it possible to add a computed field to a report like this?
If so, how?
Thanks - Jim

The SQL function rownum should suffice if the report is not too complicated, as this returns the number of the row rather than the database row ie.
select empno,ename,rownum
from emp
add some clauses each time and you should see that each row is always numbered 1 to n.
However, if you introduce the HTMLDB column sort functionality into the report then it would appear that it is the result set that is sorted rather than a new query being issued.
Hope this is of help.
