Is it possible to run two different apple tv units on the same network and play two different movies off of my iTunes library

Is it possible to play two different movies on two seperate apple tv units on two tvs at the same time using the same itunes library

AC is corret you can do that. It might work a bit better for you if you use a wired connection vs a wireless one for the ATV's.

Can I use my old apple tv and new apple tv together on the same network and with the same tv

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes.

Can you share music between 2 Apple ID's on the same network?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can share content between 2 libraries that have different ID's for the iTunes Store, yes.
You need to make sure that both libraries are using the same ID for home sharing though (from the File menu)

IOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change ?

iOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network, i.e. connected to the same wired/wireless router. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change this ? Means that the iPad and the Apple TV box both have to be in range of the wireless router when this wasn't a restriction before. Apple TV could be anywhere as long as it was connected to the same wireless router via ethernet cable. Seems like an unnecessary thing to restrict.

I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem. The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6. (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

Can you have multiple Apple TV's in the same house and network? If so how do you know which one to pick from your Idevice?

Yes, there are even defaults for naming them, such as LivingRoom, Bedroom, etc, or you can even enter your own name with the remote for each AppleTV.

Who can shed some light on my ongoing connection problem.
After upgrading my iPad Air with IOS 7.06, I could no longer connect to the internet.
I have 2 MacBooks Air, 1 ipad mini and one iPhone 4S running on the same network, and they are all connected to the net and function well.
So I cleaned up the ipad completely, installed the latest firmware and reinstalled my apps : no connection.
I tried all things of resets and forgets. No result.
I have been fondling with my Airport Extreme 5 , but that did not help much.
This morning I went to a neighbor , hooked my ipad air on his network, typed the password and the thing all worked fine.
I have tried to connect the ipad air as an ethernet client, but that did not work. „Not enough power“ was the statement
Ideas anyone ?

Yes I tried this manyfold. But did not work. Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
Et voila.... everything is back in working order,

Multiple Apple TV's on the same network with airplay issues.

I work at a school with 37 Apple TV's. They are all on the same network, some of them are wired while others are wireless. The problem I am having is that airplay works and then doesn't work for some unknown reason. The Apple TV's are connected to the network and internet when they are experiencing this and I believe that the issue is bonjour. Does anyone know any way of solving this issue.

Yeah, I think wiring them is the only solution to this problem.
We've only got three (well, had one and bought two more this summer - that's when the trouble started).
The first one I got had trouble connecting with the wireless network, so Apple support said to reboot the main router. That is, shut down the entire network while we reboot for one Apple TV. So...OK, I get it, Apple is a CONSUMER company and we're trying to use their products in a school...in spite of that, so far, it has been worth the effort.
But YESTERDAY I got that message about too many devices on the network and to "disconnect a device..." (you know the rest).
So, I called Aruba, knowing that it was a wireless issue and that I've had issues with them and, particularly
Bonjour. Aruba appears to be a Windows only network - would that I would have known that three years ago. But Aruba TAC has NO CLUE what the issue is. So I called Apple Tech Support and they have NO CLUE - weren't even aware of this posting, what, six months ago? (Shows you how much they read and value the forum - we're on our own, boys and girls!)
So...I wired the front of the school Apple TV to a nearby wireless access point and now it's a steady as a rock. But prior to that I actually stood in front of the ATV and watched as it connected, then disconnected, then connected, then disconnected (ad nauseum). Interferrence? Well, maybe, there are only about 150 rogue networks detected in the immediate vicinity - but Aruba ASSURED ME that their WAPs were sophisticated enough to recongnize that and filter them out. (Maybe not?)
So the ATV at the front of the building ocassionally just drops off the network. I can tell because we run a Flickr slideshow on it all day long with announcements and stuff. When I go by the TV and see the thumbnails and no slideshow, I know it has dropped off the network. Usually I can reconnect it. But that's not good enough.
Finally, yesterday, a teacher called me who has an ATV (long story on how she got that) and said she was not longer connected to the network. A shudder ran through my body as I expected (and realized) the worst.
So, my installer is coming tomorrow to wire her ATV into the WAP in her classroom. But TODAY, I have to call Aruba and enable the additional port since it's not enabled by default.
I'll tell you, every day, I get this horrific feeling in the pit of my stomach that this whole world of technology we have built is held together with bailing wire and duct tape and that it just has to blow at some point.
Then I watch Bob Ross do his paintings (and a NEW KID on the block - watch out for him - Kevin Hill - this kid takes Bob Ross to the next level and he's only 18 years old) and think - "What the heck am I doing here, anyway? Why am I not home painting?" But them I start feeling guilty that I'm leaving the school in the lurch. Who will stand up to these bozos who don't have a clue what's going on and, further, don't seem to care, yet, get this, think they are doing a GREAT JOB! I'm telling you, I'm living on Superman's Planet Bizarro!

Sharing Vlans is possible in routed mode.
Its not possible when ACE is operating in Bridge mode.
You need to use unique IP addresses in each context for shared vlans.
Also make sure to use " shared-vlan-hostid " command.
When contexts share a VLAN, the ACE assigns a different MAC address to the VLAN on each context. The MAC addresses reserved for shared VLANs are 0x001243dc6b00 to 0x001243dcaaff, inclusive. All ACE modules derive these addresses from a global pool of 16k MAC addresses. This pool is divided into 16 banks, each containing 1,024 addresses. An ACE supports only 1,024 shared VLANs, and would use only one bank of MAC addresses out of the pool.
By default, the bank of MAC addresses that the ACE uses is randomly selected at boot time. However, if you configure two ACE modules in the same Layer 2 network and they are using shared VLANs, the ACEs may select the same address bank and use the same MAC addresses. To avoid this conflict, you need to configure the bank that the ACEs will use. "

I rented a movie from iTunes on my apple tv, can I watch this rental on another apple tv that's on the same network and under the same account?

I would like to rent a movie from iTunes on one of my apple tv's and would like to know if I can watch that movie rental on another apple tv on the same network. I used to rent movies on my Mac and was able to watch on different apple tv through home-sharing.

Hey hskcheng,
Movies rented on an Apple TV can not be transferred to a different device. See this article for reference -

Our iPad air keep kicking out of the Apple TV. None of the other iPads we have on the same network and the same content do this. The program kicks off the AppleTV and starts playing on the iPad about every 10 minute

We have used the 2 Apple TVs and the 5 different IPads successfully on both Apple TVs. But the iPad air, on the same content, on the same network, on the same Apple TV drops off the Apple TV and the content starts playing on the iPad. When we choose Apple TV on the AirPlay button, it starts playing on the TV again. It does this about 6-7 times an hour. We have the latest software update. We have also deleted and reinstalled the App to play the context (iView) and it still does this.

Hey there TandViv,
It sounds like your other iPads work correctly when Airplaying to your Apple TV, but one disconnects about ever 10 mintues or so. I have a few thoughts for this issue you are seeing. First, try closing all the apps:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone and test it again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists try resetting the network settings on the phone and see how that works:
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
From: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Possible to run two BB phones off one computer?

In our office we have an interesting set up for getting email from two sources, Hotmail and Outlook, to the bosses BB device. Direct forwarding to his BB's email works fine for Hotmail and Redirector works for his Outlook. Here's the catch, he just bought a Storm and now would like both his old BB and new Storm to get exactly the same emails so he can compare the two to decide which he likes better.
Hotmail only allows you to forward to a single email address, and Redirector seems to only allow to forward to one PIN device. I don't think it is possible to forward to two phones from the same computer, but I could be wrong. Anyone think they have a solution?
Also, DM will not allow syncing with more than one phone will it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sorry, you misunderstood me. I didn't say anything about Redirector. It won't.
For the Hotmail, one--don't let it 'forward' to the BlackBerry, instead set the Hotmail up direct to recieve the push email as it is designed. As it is now, you are actually forwarding your email from Hotmail to some other address? Like a blackberry.net address? Use the normal, routine push setup with your BIS account.

And, again, on the Redirecto, no go.

Multiple apple tv's simultaneously playing on the same network and account

I have an office with 10 apple tv's hard wired to a router. We play different movies in each room. Randomly, different apple tv's will say they cant find the movie library? Could there be a problem with the way they are being shut down or the way itunes attached to the network is being shut down????

There is no specified limit. I have a location running 10, as long as your network can handle it, you're fine. You can use custom names for the apple tvs so there's no limitation there. The only limitation would be if they were all on the same accounts (itunes store, netflix, etc.)

Why can't Apple TV's and iOS devices see home sharing on my Windows 7 computer when iTunes libraries on other computers on the same network and connected to the same Home Sharing can?

I have never previously had any problems with Home Sharing, I have always found it to be completely reliable as advertised. I have 2 computers in the house, (one MacBook and one Windows Desktop) connected to the same Home Sharing account, connected to the same BT Home Hub 4. My situation is that I have nearly 2TB of data of which I would like to share with the home wirelessly, in my mind the desktop is the logical place for this to be shared from.
When running, iTunes on this desktop broadcasts to other iTunes libraries, but no other iOS devices or Apple TV's connected to the same Home Sharing account cannot see it.
I have tried turning Home Sharing off, and then turning it back on, closing iTunes, restarting the computer, going to Network and Sharing Centre and unticking IPv6 in the network adapter properties, even completely wiping the computer and reinstalling Windows 7.
One of the Apple TV's in the house was recently purchased by my parents with the promise from me that everything would work seamlessly... so far it isn't and I am frustrated that the Apple technology that I have come to rely on isn't working as expected.
One thing that has occurred to me upon writing this is that it is a very large amount of data, and I have not attempted to share this with another computer that is currently working and broadcasting it's Home Share fine.
I am sorry if I have ommitted any important details, any further questions don't hesitate to ask. I would be so grateful of any suggestions, my parents are depending on me.

I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem. The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6. (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
