How to setup multiple Apple ID's on Apple TV home sharing?

I have an Apple TV and a Mac with mavericks.. My roommate also has a Mac. We both want to be able to access our home sharing videos on the Apple TV. I figured out how to have multiple accounts for iTunes (rentals etc) but can't seem to do it with home sharing? Anyone out there know if it is possible? I don't like to use mirroring because it can be slow when watching movies.
Thanks!

Thanks for your help! I don't mind switching between them.. How do I authorize both on the home sharing ID? When my roommate goes to "computers" it tells her to turn on home sharing on my computer (with my ID).. Even if I changed the iTunes account over to hers..
Thanks again!

  • How do I get Apple TV home sharing to work again?

    Hi,
    I'm using an iMac, I have Apple TV 2, a Bt home hub 3, between 30-50mb speed over wifi (160mb when my mac is wired). I have followed all the set up instructions, up to date software, firewall etc. On the Apple TV I can watch a movie through it's iTunes no problem, BUT when I try via home sharing it works for a few minutes then tells me to connect to the network, then connects again a few seconds later, then I try again and it does the same thing despite every other wifi device working fine ( humax, ps3, wii). Until about 4/5 months ago it worked perfectly with exactly the same hardware, so surely it can only be the updates? Is there a solution out there or do I have to wait until Apple pull their bloody finger out and fix it properly? The main reason for having Apple TV was the home sharing, so now this is just an expensive doorstop.
    Any help would be great
    Thanks

    Have you tried a PRAM reset?

    If you look in the audio output port, is there a red light showing.  If so, the internal switch is stuck..  Insert the headphones a few times, jiggle a toothpick inside or shot some compressed air to trip the switch.  If no success, have the Apple store genius bar technician do it.

    As randers4 says, use separate AppleIDs for iCloud and iMessage accounts.  You cannot "share iCloud" and have separate mail, messaging and facetime.  To get those, you need to use separate AppleIDs to each create your own iCloud account and your own iMessage account.
    You can share apps and other purchased content by having a common AppleID used in the iTunes and App store.

  • Can i setup multiple Apple IDs on one computer

    Hi
    My partner and I recently sold our laptops and bought an iMac and want to keep our itunes, music, playlists separate.  Is it possible to setup multiple Apple IDs on one computer?
    Thanks
    Denise

    Each person in your home can have their own Apple ID provided it is tied the their own separate email address.
    iTunes permits up to five authorized computers connected to a single Apple ID: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    For this all to work well, however, each user in your household should have a separate user account on the computer they commonly use.

  • How to setup multiple base station under one network?

    How to setup multiple base station under one network? I have 6 rooms but one airport base station makes really difficult to get good signal from every rooms. I wonder if I can setup multiple airport base stations talking to each other under the same network to build up the signal strength will help solve this problem. But, is it possible? How?

    One route would be to utilize a "roaming" network. In a roaming network, you would connect multiple AirPort Extreme Base Stations (AEBS) to the same Ethernet. Of course, this would require that your home is already wired for Ethernet.

  • How do I connect both a Mac and PC to Apple TV Home Sharing?

    Goal
    - I am trying to share both my PC and Mac through my Apple TV2 on the "Computers" home sharing menu.
    - These are 2 seperate iTunes accounts as they are 2 different owners of the PC and Macbook.
    - However, home sharing only allows me to have one at a time, can I not have 2 computers connected?
      (The menu is in fact plural and says "Computers" not "Computer")
    Attempt
    -I turn on home sharing on my PC with my PC iTunes account, it then shows up on the "Computers" list as PC
    -I turn on home sharing on my Mac with my Mac iTunes account, it then shows up on the "Computers" list as Mac, but it deletes the PC share
    Troubleshoot
    -So I started from scatch and connected the PC share with my PC itunes account, it shows up,
    -Then I connect the Mac home sharing with the same iTunes login as my PC, but it also erases my PC from the "Computers" list and just displays the Mac.
    Question
    -How do I connect both a Mac and PC to Apple TV Home Sharing?
    -I want them both to show up in the "Computers" list.
    -So the final result will look like this on my Apple TV menu:
    Computers
    -PC
    -Mac
    whew... I'm out of breath... I hope there is an Apple Genius out there that can help.
    Thanks!

    After retrying the home share with the SAME ITUNES ACCOUNT ON HOME SHARING I finally got it to work.

  • Home sharing on apple tv, Home sharing on apple tv

    How do I set up home sharing on my Apple TV? It says it is on and the shared libraries show up on all the computers but not on the television

    You need to introduce the same Apple ID in the Apple TV (home sharing option, not necessary on ATV's iTunes Store) and in the iTunes' home sharing (Advanced/Turn on Home Sharing)... and both connected in the same wifi or ethernet network. It's all.

    this has fixed it for me back when I used itunes under windows

  • I have to relaunch itunes for apple tv home sharing to access library

    why is that i have to relaunch itunes every now and then for apple tv home sharing to access movie library
    itunes version 12.1
    ATV 3
    Mac mini 2014

    Problem solved – While looking elsewhere on the Internet, I ran across an article where a guy in Russia found that his security code for the credit card entered on his iTunes account was missing.
    After checking, I found my security code was missing as well. After I reentered my credit card security code, I was able to log on to the iTunes Store and also able to turn on  Home Sharing.
    I HOPE The Apple  iTunes accounts were not hacked into.  That could be a reason for the security codes beinging erased by Apple.

  • Apple TV Home Sharing only detects Macbook Pro but not iPads

    Hello
    My Apple TV (2nd gen) will only detect my Macbook Pro on Home Sharing. I have two iPads (1st gen and iPad Mini) both updated to the latest iOS but they just wont show up on apple TV home sharing.
    Any thoughts?
    The software on all devices is up to date, and all devices are connected to the same network.

    Your first generation iPad is only capable of basic AirPlay, instruction for basic AirPlay are:
    Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    Your problems on the iPad mini, indicate a network problem at your end, perhaps the distances are too great or you have interference on your network.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • How to setup multiple Exchange accounts in Mail with the same username/password

    Okay didn't see a place to ask a Mail question so I am placing this here.
    I work for a helpdesk that requires me to monitor 4 different email accounts throughout the day. They are all Exchange accounts. The first one setups just fine but when I go to setup the others I get a message that states that the username and password are in use for the other account. Is there any way to setup multiple Exchange account when using the same LDAP creds for all the accounts?

    Csound1,
    I need to add a second Exchange account to my MBP using Mail.  Both accounts are with Rackspace, but each email address is unique (i.e., two different domain names).  When I use Preferences to attempt to add the second account, it recognizes the new credentials, finds the server and autopopulates the necessary address information.  But, as soon as I click "Done" after setting which functions are active on the account (mail, cal, contacts, etc.), the screen shows only my original Exchange account.  The new one is not added, yet there is no error message saying that it can't be added.  Any idea what is going on?  Shouldn't Mail be able to have multiple Exchange accounts, even if they are hosted via the same Rackspace server (in this case: connect.emailsrvr.com)?
    Many thanks,
