How to add another itunes library to apple tv?

Hello,
I just want to watch some movies from an other Macbook running Snow Leopard with the latest iTunes.
How do I switch between the libraries? I only see the old one.

Here are the supported formats for ATV.
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High or Main Profile level 4.0 or lower, Baseline profile level 3.0 or lower with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
I would try using handbrake for conversion

I will soon be purchasing a new PC running Windows 7. I need to know how to migrate my iTunes Library and apple devices to the PC. Is there a previously published support document on this topic? Thank You.

Connect a blank powered external drive to the PC.
Right click on the Disk in the File manager and choose format: exFAT
(if it's a XP machine, first install exFAT from Microsoft and reboot)
navigate to your user account folders on the PC and drag and drop copy (or copy and paste) to the external drive.
(if a program has your files, then export them out first)
Hook up the drive to the Mac, and transfer files to the desktop or to their same appropritate folders.
Import photo's into iPhoto program, import music into iTunes etc and they will manage those files.
You can continue to use the external exFAT drive between Mac's and PC's
Do not format the drive NTFS or FAT, NTFS can't be written too by the Mac and FAT can't hold over 4GB sized files.
If you format exFAT on the Mac, it likely won't work correctly on the PC.
"Migration" type programs are a utter waste of time and effort between PC's and Mac's for the fact that only certain files (and no programs or anything else) will work between them, also it's a hassle and takes too long. So don't even bother with it.

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.

Had to reinstall Lion. Backed up music to external hard drive. When I plug in iPod msg says it's synced w/another iTunes library. Do i "erase and sync" and re-add music from the hard drive?

Had to reinstall Lion. Backed up my music to an external hard drive. When I plug in my iPod a prompt msg says it's synced w/another iTunes library and asks if I want to "erase and sync" (to what is now an empty library) or "Transfer purchases". Do i "erase and sync" and re-add music from the hard drive once that's done?

You just need to tell iTunes where the library is located. If you want it back on your internal drive, copy the entite iTunes folder. Follow the instructions below.

How do I copy songs from one itunes library to another itunes library on the same computer?

I want to share some songs in my iTunes library with my granddaughter's iTunes library, both of which are located on the same computer. I managed to copy one of the songs through Finder to the location where the music resides, but it doesn't appear when I access her iTunes. Can someone tell me an easy way to copy only certain songs from one iTunes library to another iTunes library on the same computer?

HT204088 How how can I synch my ipod + iphone music to my new computer? I get the same error "my ipod or iphone is synched with another itunes library.An Ipod can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would I like to do Erase and Synch

How can I synch my ipod & iphone music (purchased from itunes on my old laptop) to my new laptop? I keep getting the same message on my itunes on my new laptop: " The ipod/Iphone is synched with another itunes library. An ipod/iphone can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would you like to do - Erase and Synch or Transfer Purchases?" What do I do?
A couple of other items:
1) I am guessing Apple does not keep a history of all my music purchases? As I did not have my entire library backed-up anywhere, and relying on the music I have on my ipod and my iphone as my only source of itunes music....I have lost over 500 songs!!!
2) I used to have an Apple account under another account name, and since have switched to a new account name. Is there anyway to find the history of purchases from my old Apple account name and transfer these over to my new account name and onto my new laptop?
I hope someone can help, I am having a very difficult time trying to obtain answers. Angie

The iphone/ipod is NOT a storage/backup device. Not maintaining a backup copy is a big mistake.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone/ipod to your computer:
Authorize your computer for all accounts and then click File>Transfer Purchases

I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

You do not merge libraries.
iDevices sync to one and only one computer.
If you want a single library, you manually move the content from one library to another... all content will still be associated with the Apple ID it was acquired with.

I had to change computers. Now when i plug in my ipod i get a message That it is synched with another iTunes library. It only offers the option to erase and synch with the new one. How do i find and get back to the original library

How to transfer library with play count and top 25 playlist to another itunes library?

Hi,
I would like to transfer all my music, with the play count and top 25 most played and other playlists to another iTunes library on a Mac. How would I go about doing this?

What exactly are you trying to do? You already have another library on the computer and wish to add items from another library? This is not easily done and meeting all the requirements you have posted. While it is possible to transfer play count I think it is one of the things that requires Applescripting knowledge.
If you are just wanting to move a library from one place to another that is possible, though still tricky because you start encountering user permissions.

Please help, I am constanly re importing songs, I have to re sync my ipod to my library each time i plug it in, and I am unable to import songs from my media player, any ideas?

When I plug it in I get the **'s ipod is already synced with another itunes library so do I want to erase & sync message
Even though it is the same music in iTunes, iTunes does not see it as the exact same library because you had to re-add all the songs to it.
You will need to erase and sync and you iPod will simply end up as it is now.
It's like of your house burns down and you rebuild it exactly the same, it is still not the "same" house it was.

If you do a restore you will lose everything. Some things will be backed up in iCloud but not everything.
