I wish to use Apple TV's in several class rooms.

I am thinking of setting up teachers with an iPad to stream to an Apple TV using our wireless network. Can I have two or more iPads mirroring to an separate ATV on the same wireless network? So one teacher in his/her classroom on the wireless to that classroom's Apple TV. Another teacher in the classroom next door doing the same thing but in a way they do not,, umm,, cross talk? can I tell the ipad which ATV to stream to?
Thank you
Tom K

I am just starting to explore the potential of ATV, so my answers are more theoretical, but might be helpful.
From what I have seen, you can NAME the ATV, and I suspect you would be offered multiple ATVs by name on the AirPlay pop-up menu on the iPad. In the ATV setup menu, under NAME, they offer several home-based suggestions (Living Room, Bedroom, etc.), and then, at the bottom, CUSTOM. That is where I have already named the ATV with the ROOM number it will be in.
My current problem is poking holes in the University's locked-down network in order to see the ATV from the iPad. Any suggestions for resources helping me to accomplish that?

When I rent a movie using Apple TV, it takes several hours to load and then I select watch later. When I go to my rented movies and try to watch it , it starts loading all over again. This can't be normal. Is there something that I am doing wrong?

When I rent a movie using Apple TV,it takes several hours to load. At this point, I opt to watch later. When I try to watch the movie, it starts loading again and tells me that it will be ready to watch in one hour forty four minutes. This can't be normal. Is there something I am doing wrong? Any suggestions.

If it's taking several hours then that is likely due to your internet connection. You can verify at speedtest.net
6mbps required for instant 720P
8mbps for 1080P
You can switch to SD in the settings (which only requires 3mbps)
You can also check istumbler or netstumbler for interference
Make sure you are on your ISPs DNS
The reloading is normal. There is no accessible storage on ATV. The small flash is used for caching streamed content, if you access other things or turn the device off it will be flushed.

Want to use Apple TV to serve existing 4 room wired speaker installation

I purchased a home with existing 4 room speaker system. All wires terminate in basement where previous owner had some type of media control center. Each speaker zone has control for volume in the various rooms.
My goal is to reconnect the speakers and use my Apple TV (previous generation) as my music source. I want to keep this as simple and cheap as possible.
I am assuming I will need an Amp/receiver and a multi-speaker splitter to plug all the speaker wires into. I know I can use the Apple Remote app on my IPhone to control it remotely.
What I would like to hear about from the community is
1. opinions on this set up. Is there an easier or simpler way to drive and control the speaker?
2. if this arrangment makes sense, has anyone done this and what equipment works best?
Thanks

If you have zoned volume control (ie control for each room) your simplest set up would be to join all four sets of speaker cables into a single output from an amp/receiver, you would need to turn the volume to zero in rooms where you didn't want audio but you will need to judge for yourself whether that is convenient for you or not.
Your other option is to use an amp with at least 4 separately controlled outputs or a multiplexer, this would be controlled from one central point and so would allow you to turn rooms off without actually visiting them.

How do I change the Apple id against a certain telephone number? I have two iPhones and wish to use a different Apple id for each and confused as to how I do this?

Create a new Apple ID for the second phone. If you are setting the phones up as new phone enter the ID you want to use on each phone.
If both phones are already signed in to one Apple ID then use the settings app to change Apple IDs on one phone.
Settings > iTunes and App Store > tap on the Apple ID > sign out > sign in with alternate Apple ID.
Note that if you have downloaded apps with the original Apple ID on the phone with the new Apple ID, those apps will still be associated with the old Apple ID and will require the old ID and password in order to update them.

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
If you have used your old ID to purchase content from iTunes or the App store, you may want to continue to use this ID for iTunes only to avoid losing your content.

When away from my home, I need to utilize iPhone Hotspot (AT&T). I can access RoadRunner Webmail and download to my iPhone with or without the hotspot. But, if I wish to use the Iphone Hotspot to download email via the Apple mail program on my laptop, I get an error message indicating: "The sender address [username redacted]@twcny.rr.com was rejected by the server smtp-server.twcny.rr.com" but I am able to access internet sites. Anyone run into this issue? Any fixes? Thankx

See if anything here helps.

How do I get content from my iPad to show up on the tv screen using Apple TV without going thru iTunes?

How can I get content from my iPad and my air book to show up on the tv screen using Apple TV, without going thru iTunes?

You will need to use AirPlay to see that.
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.
When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

Used Apple Studio Display, Possibly Ruined

Hello all,
I purchased a used Apple Studio Display a few days ago and thought nothing of it at the time (I was picking up some used Macs for friends, and it was an afterthought). I figured, what the h*ll.
So anyway, I finally hooked it up, and was very impressed with the color calibration and overall usefulness of the monitor. The problem was it was very dirty and covered with scratches.
So, not knowing any better, I proceeded to use some glass cleaner on it, and this got a lot of black residue off the screen, which made things look noticeably cleaner. The bad news was that this was a lot of work, and I was looking for a more "quick and dirty" (poor choice of words, I suppose) method of getting it cleaned up. So I pulled out the "Goo Gone," a commercial product that smells a bit like oranges but which also has some petroleum distillates in it.
Anyway, long story short: Although the window cleaner and the craptastic miracle cleaner did a bang-up job insofar as the removal of the black matter, there are a few areas of the screen where I was a little too vigorous and have buffed the shine away, leaving a blurred image underneath. Who knew that the screen had a protective plastic coating? Not me, I suppose.
So I've googled around for some kits to repair the mistake I have made, and I'm coming up empty. I see multitudinous products for cleaning the monitor, and of course I wish I had found them before I endeavored to clean this monitor (it was disgusting, I tell you! Even with the blurring, it's still an improvement!). I still can't find a product to make this puppy shine like it's supposed to.
There remain a few noticeable scratches on the monitor, and of course I would like to buff those out if possible, but most importantly, I'd like to be able to get back the clarity I thought I was heading for (before I cleaned a little too hard!).
Responses chiding me for my overzealous cleaning behavior are discouraged, as I am primarily interested in climbing out of the hole I'm in, not in getting shoved further down it.
Thanks in advance,
Art

Well, I'm going to go ahead and answer my own question.
I attempted to take apart the monitor to take out the smudged glare screen. I was unsuccessful; it's glued directly to the glass in such a way that its removal would have made things much worse.
When I put it all back together, the monitor no longer worked!
Oh well, easy come, easy go.

Trying to set up Fam Sharing but can't get past the prompt telling me to add a payment method. I already have a payment in my iTunes account and wish to use it for FS. How do I do this?

Hi printspat,
From what I gather, you have a payment method selected for your iTunes Store account which isn’t being accepted when setting up Family Sharing.
Take a look at the he article linked below provides, which provides a lot of great information about Family Sharing, and make sure you're trying to use a valid payment method for setting up Family Sharing.
Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support
One adult in the family—the family organizer—can set up Family Sharing for the group from their iOS device or Mac. When you set up Family Sharing, you'll be asked to confirm that you agree to pay for purchases initiated by the family members you invite and that you have a valid payment method on file. Valid payment methods for setting up Family Sharing include credit cards and debit cards.*
Cheers,
-Jason

When i try to connect to my yahoo email via the Mail thingy, it will say "user name or password for apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com is incorrect even though my yahoo password and user name is correct.
This is copied from your first post. Am I reading this wrong? Aren't you saying that you are getting a message that the username and password are incorrect? That's why I asked another the word apple in the name. I don't use Yahoo mail that may in fact be correct but I'm just checking,
IF you are getting a message that the username and password are incorrect.....
Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

When I stream a movie via Apple TV from my iPad Air into my Samsung TV, I'm getting the "soap opera" effect. This only happens when I use Apple TV, not when I view a movie directly through a cable channel. Is there a way to eliminate this effect?

I'm having the same problem. It's not an issue with my TV, i've turned this feature off. I've tried playing with the ATV display settings but nothing works. When I stream netflix from my Samsung bluray player, I don't get the soap opera effect, but when I stream any video from the ATV, the soap opera effect is there. I'm thinking it's a choice that Apple made, but I really wish it could be turned off. Not a lot of people are searching for this, because it can be easy to overlook, but it's driving me nuts!

Can you use Apple TV to watch HBO

Can you use Apple TV to watch HBO

The problem is the tech dinosaur "DVD" is still the bread and butter money maker for them. Streaming is getting better but greed is keeping it from blooming. NetFlix had the price increase because the cost to stream in this case from STARS was ridicoulus. Streaming content in general is not very good from neither NetFlix nor Amazon prime.
Looking at NetFlix "New Arrivals" right now.
OMG!
Ironclad
Lodes Kitchen
The Flinstones
Saw III
Starz Play is a little better;
Toy Story 3
Secretariat
Weird Sciecnce
Father Of The Bride.
But Starz play is going bye bye. NetFlix got a little boost by signing a deal with Dreamworks, but that is still 2 years away. I really see DVD rentals hanging on for at least 5 more years at current levels. In general I am very happy with my AppleTV, I am not happy with the issues it so frequently has with NetFlix, and only wish it had more selections for streaming.
Maybe Oct 4 we get an announcment.

I wish to use Apple TV's in several class rooms.
