I've just set up my Apple TV, however I rent and therefore share the main television, how can I make my account private so that my housemate can rent movies on his own account?

So, I've just bought and set up an Apple TV in my apartment, my iMac is set to home sharing and I've to log on using my iTunes account ID, however I don't want my housemate renting movies on my account - is there some way of setting up a log on, or can we both share?
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can add multiple accounts at settings > iTunes Store > accounts.
However, there would have to be some trust between you to switch accounts before purchasing, unless you deleted your account each time you used it. You can only switch accounts in settings, there is no option to do this at the point of purchase.

  • Firefox won't let me enable the setting to re-open my last session from ethere hostory or the main settings how can i fix??

    i got to the menu-settings-geniral-i only have use home page or a blank page it will not allow me to select in-order to re-store my last session and same in the history menu it wont allow me to click on it!

    This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
    My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
    The mouse moves, but does not work.
    The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
    I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
    Firefox 18.4%
    Activity Monitor 0.9%
    Firefox Plugin 0.2%
    This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

    What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

    Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

  • My Apple ID has been disabled due to changing the credit card, how can I enable it again?

    My Apple ID has been disabled due to changing the credit card, how can I enable it again?

    you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on any iOS devices that you have by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them
    If that doesn't fix it then contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • HT5622 can you still share music on itunes with different apple id?  My daughters and I share the same itunes account but . . noticed this is not a good idea.  Both our contacts get merged.  sometimes my pictures end up on their phone!

    Is there a way to share the itunes music with different people in your household without having to share the phone contacts?  Do I need to have a different apple id?

    It's ok to share the same AppleID for iTunes.  Use Separate ID's for iCloud, iMessage, and Facetime. 

  • Can i set up an apple id for my daughter and not loose the apps i got her thru my account?

    So here's the thing... I gave my daughter my old ipod touch and have been downloading apps to it with my apple id account. I've realized now that she has the ability to change the progress of my games (that we both play, eg. smurfville) by logging into the game center. And she could also use up money in my accnt. Yes, I realize that I can just change my password, but I want her to be able to back up her games thru the game center, and downlaod apps with her own girft card $, etc. So I want to set her up with her own accnt, but dont want her to loose all the apps I got her with my accnt. Is that possible?

    I should note for you that, although the apps are available, they are not put on her account. If she were to update them later on, she'll still have to use your information to update them and not hers. There is no way to actually transfer purchases. They only show available because your account is still there, and you guys are sharing a computer/device. Just figured I'd give you a head's up.

  • Daughter and I share same email.  How can we get separate apple IDs?

    Just got an iphone but existing email was already used by my daughter on her ipod.  How can I set up Apple ID when we have the same email address?

    Open a free email account with Gmail or Yahoo.

  • I'm not really a computer guy.Just got a Kodak easy share camera. When I  import the photos, they go to the area with my name in a file with the date. How can I move them to iphoto, or even better, import them directly to iphoto??

    I'm not really a computer guy. I just got a Kodak"easy share" camera. When I import the photos they go to the section with my name in a folder. How do I get them from there to iphoto, or better yet, how can i import them directly to iphoto?? As stated, I'm not knowledgable,have an imac and need real rudimentary direction.

    in the iPhoto preferences be sure the action when camera is connected is open iPhoto
    What program are you using to import the photos?
    If they are in a folder you can drag that folder onto the iPhoto icon in the dock to import - our launch iPhoto and under the file menu import from that folder
    For real rudimentary directions try the iPhoto tutorials - and it would be a worthwhile investment of time to take the iphoto tutorials - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/ - they are very helpful and will save you a lot of time and frustration. for the concepts - actual commands mya have shanged in some cases - and under the iPhoto help menu ==> iPhoto help - watch the videos there

  • HT1414 my iPhone was stolen but I got it back. Now I can not activate it coz i don't have the Apple ID nor the password from the thief. How can i log in my own Apple ID to activate my iPhone?

    Hi,
    My iPhone was stolen before, but luckily i got it back.
    Now i cannot activate it with my own Apple ID because the system kept asking me to enter the previous user's Apple ID (yes, the theif)
    So I cannot use my iPhone now.
    Please kindly tell me what to do and how to do it. I want to use my iPhone with iOS 7!!
    Thank you.

    Doesn't matter. And if they have any property at all, it's worth the $50 filing fee for small claims court in most places.
    If nothing else, filing could force Apple to disclose the email address and other information that was used to activate the stolen phone and lock it, leading to the identity of the thief or someone else involved in the crime.
    For me, it would be well worth the $50 even if all I got was an attachment of future wages. Since i don't have the legal right to just shoot the bastage, it's the next best thing.

  • I have 2 tv's that I want my apple tv to show on (same view, at the same time)  How can I do this?

    How do I set up 2 tv's to show one apple tv? I want the same screen in different rooms with one being hooked up directly to one apple tv.

    If it's an AppleTV 1 (silver) it has HDMI and component.
    Black AppleTVs only have HDMI.
    The copy protection lobby insist that AppleTV uses HDCP copy protection for protected media and you are unlikely to find a legitimate consumer device that can convert video from HDMI to an analogue format to distribute to other TVs, VCRs, DVD recorders etc.
