Is it possible to use multiple macs/iphones/ipads with single apple tv for an exhibition?

Hellow everyone,
Wondering if some genius out there can help me come up with a solution, or whether this is just too pie in the sky!!
So, I'm exhibiting at a huge conference at the end of the month and want the following set up:
MacBook Pro Retina showing a video loop through AirPlay Mirroring
MacBook Pro showing exmaples of my work in safari photoshop etc through AirPlay Mirroring
iPhone (4s with iOS7) to show examples of my work in safari through AirPlay Mirroring
iPad (iPad 2 with iOS7) to show examples of my work in safair through AirPlay Mirroring
So, basically I want the video loop to play constantly and act as a screensaver almost, then when the sitution dictates I can quickly switch what is being shown on the AppleTV to whichever device I am at.
As an example, the video loop is happily playing. Someone comes up to me and wants to talk about responsive web design. I whip out my iPad and load up an example site in safari. if I turn on my AirPlay Mirroring, great the AppleTV will update and show what is on my iPad. Great, but what about when I've finished with this person. I turn AirPlay Mirroring off on my iPad and the ApplTV goes back to the main menu because it has kicked out my MacBook Pro. Imagine this scenairo happening time and itme again.
The question is, is there anyway of making some kind of heirachy where my MacBook Pro with the video is the default source, then the Apple switches depending on what is selected, then reverts back to the MacBook Pro??
Or, is there a neat little app that I can run from another iphone (almost using is as a remote) to select which source the Apple TV shows and all the devices are constantly running AirDisplay?
Possibly asking a bit too much here, but it would be amazing if I could get some form of solution that allows me to use minimum wires and no fidly changing channels on the tv with a remote!!
Many thanks in advance!
David

take have to take turns
and you have to disable one and enable the other manually

Is it possible to disable turning off iphone/ipad with the button?

Is there a way to disable a theft from turning a stolen iphone or ipad off. Maybe make it require a password to turn off, is this possible? I love the way the devices are trackable if they are stolen but a theft can just push the off button, or erase everything by holding the home and off button.

I can imagine with the many posts here asking about what to do when their Passcode Lock or Restrictions Passcode is forgotten when someone is unable to power their iPhone off if there were a passcode requirement option to do so.
On an airplane and instructed to power the iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch off before takeoff and landing and the password to do so is forgotten, or the battery is about to die with no power source available to charge and the password to power the iPhone is forgotten.

Using a family members iPad with my apple ID to watch a tv show I have purchased on my brothers device - get 90 day download warning - why?

I live in Texas and am visiting my family in Georgia. I didn't travel with my iPad as there are 4 at home I can use. I sign my brothers Apple ID out in the iTunes Store sign in as myself and attempt to watch a tv show I have purchased and get the for 90 days you can't download anything form iTunes to this device with a different apple ID warning. Why can't I just stream this tv show on my brothers device since I have purchased it on my device and am logged into iTunes on my brothers device with my apple ID? What a pain in the as?.

First of all would not be streaming the show on his iPad, you would be downloading a purchased item on his iPad for free. And it is something that was not purchased with his ID. It was purchased with your ID. I believe that Apple does that to prevent users from giving each other purchased content without buying it on their own. That's my take anyway.
You can read about associating a device with another iTunes account here.

Is it possible to use multiple log on IDs with OID?

First a little background on our environment. Our users currently have two seperate identities on our network. The ID used on our SUN JES (Mail and calendar) is made up of a combination of lastname and initials whereas our Oracle portal users are recognized using a numeric ID ie. 223044432. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the accounts, everyone with a mail account has a corresponding portal account. For example, I'm recognized as bouchers for mail but as 223044432 for my portal account.
We now have a requirement to unifying these identity. All new accounts will be using the numeric pattern on both JES and Portal. Management wants us to grandfather the old account names and for a period of time allow users to log-on to the portal using either the old user name or the new one. Is that possible?

Should be possible by setting up account synchronisation from Sun to OID, and changing the mapping rules. Basically, you end up with two accounts; either both in OID, or one in OID, the other one in Sun. The latter reuires a mechanism to authenticate against Sun when OID fails - don't know if that is possible (struggeling MS AD myself - that is doable)

My question is in regard to pc to mac migration. How do I migrate information from my pc with specific user account to an existing user account on my mac? I do not want to use multiple mac user accounts.

I have a mac mini that I think is from 2009. The processor is 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 2 gb memory that I´d like to use with multiple displays (2). Is this possible??

yes.
connect monitor #1 with the Mini DVI to DVI adapter (should have come with your Mini)
connect monitor #2 with the mini-displayport to DVI adapter (needs to be procured separately)

Yes that's completely feasable.
Actually there is another way to install apps ad-hock that i was not aware of (this does not require the devices to be attatched to the Mac with the SDK and project, it can use any computer or distribute via your LAN:
iOS Developer Programme:Ad Hoc Distribution
With Ad Hoc distribution you can share your application with up to 100 other iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch users. Through email or by posting it to a website or server, users can download and install your app.

Itunes, Multiple Macs, Iphones and Icloud account vs.NAS help!

Hi all
I have a problem with the way im using Nas and how i manage multiple Itunes across multiple machines and Iphones.
Background.
Network - I have a Synology 2Tb NAS storage solution which is connected via a Wifi, ethernet router & modem to the other machines either fixed or wireless.
Connecting Devices ( See diagram)
Station one = Macpro - 10.7.5 | itunes 11.1.5 | Fixed Ethernet connection to router network
Station two = Mac Mini -10.7.5 | itunes 11.1.5 | fixed ethernet connection to route network
Station three = Macbook - Maverick | itunes 11.1.5 | wireless
History.
I have previously moved all my itunes files (Not the library) from station one (see diagram) to NAS using the advice on this forum (very helpful) and kept the library on the Macpro which caused no problem with the Itunes, phone syncing etc as it was all with one Apple icloud profile with one Iphone.
So the wife then got herself an Iphone which we found was difficult to synch on station one, so decided to use a mini mac as her machine so she could sync phone and have here own itunes and this i think is where I might have managed to screw things up and where the complexity begins.
We sync one calender across all machines using icloud but each person has seperate apple IDs for phones/itunes etc which we set up and that part seems to work.
Problem
The big issue I have now is that there are elements of the Itunes storage which are now going wrong and its mainly down to the seperate libraries being used and amending data on the stored files. It creates problems when one machine adds a file or amends a title it then throws out the local libraries on the machines
The solution i think is setting up a single library on each machine which syncs (somehow) everytime someone moves, changes and adds to the music and movie elemements yet i can continue to use a local library on station one and two which syncs for Iphone/Ipad and apps changes.
Is there a solution to that ?
Diagram.

My brain hurts.
Fundamental behaviors of iTunes:
iTunes only looks at its library file to tell it what is in the media collection. If items are added to the media folders directly without adding to the library, iTunes has no idea they are there. That's just the way it works and no way to get around it. Oh, you could maybe come up with an Applescript that would start iTunes and add items to a library at the same time. The Dougscripts web site even has one that kind of does that ('scan files folders not added' I think) but you'd need to modify it to make it automated.
Given the above, a using a common library file is the only way to make sure when iTunes is opened on a computer it is up to date on additions. However, a library file can only be opened by one running iTunes application at a time.

HT1848 MY wife has an Iphone 4 and I have a 5. To date we haev used one apple is/account to manage music purchases. Recently we bought a Mac and created a new apple account for her. How do I synched her phone with new apple account?

MY wife has an Iphone 4 and I have a 5. To date we have used one apple account to manage music purchases/library. I updated ny phone to the new OS version and all her texting is showing up on my phone. I understand if i create an apple account for her I will not see her texts. Recently we bought a Mac and created a new apple account for her. How do I synched her phone with new apple account and get access to the music library under my account on the new MAC laptop before I update her phone to the new OS?
Going forward if I purchase music under my apple id and want her to have it on her device, how can I acheive that?

You can continue to share an Apple ID for purchases.
Sign her in to her new account here:
Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (Keep on Phone if you want to transfer contacts, calendars, etc...) then sign in with her new ID
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Apple ID > Sign out then in with new
Settings > FaceTime > Apple ID > Sign out then in with new
Use the same Apple ID here:
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID

E4200 v2 - Uses multiple MAC addresses for the same device

This unit seems pretty good at first but on looking at the Web interface I noticed that it was using multiple mac addresses for the same device and showing devices on the lan on the Wireless side and other odd things.
After a week of running it the home server network started to get erratic, it would seem to all point to dns and dhcp issues in the router.
Seems the V1 had the same issues that they did not fix on this.
The Cisco connect software shows 5 devices the Web based utility shows 3??.
Its pretty bad that they charge nearly $200 and cannot be bothered to finish the unit or address the issues that were in V1.

I am afraid I didn't get the clear picture of the issue mentioned in the post. Could you please elaborate a little bit? If you connect a device/computer wired and then later you connect it wirelessly. It is obvious that you would get to see two different MAC addresses for the same device, one for the LAN adaptor and other one for WLAN adaptor. If that is what you are referring to?
Secondly, may I know, what issues did you face with DNS and DHCP in the router? Is it not able to resolve the DNS or something else or DHCP is not sending IP address to the clients?

Is it possible to use a Mac with an embroidery sewing machine?

Is it possible to use a Mac with an embroidery sewing machine?

Computer support for that type of equipment is completely up to the company making/selling the embroidery software, not the computer builder. A Mac likely could support any such device BUT the device makers must choose to include Mac software versions. Many specialty software developers are about 15 yeas in the past and thing no one uses Macs, or they are doing the project on a shoestring budget and would have to hire someone on the outside to port the program to Mac.
As that function is likely of very narrow interest around here, I think you would do better to visit some of the embroidery sites and see if they mention products with known Mac support.
Otherwise you will have to find the sites for every embroidery machine maker to look for mention of Mac support.

My wife and I each have an iPhone4 with separate Apple IDs. We are hopefully about to purchase the 4th gen iPad; can we use iCloud on the iPad with separate IDs on the iPhones?

My wife and I each have an iPhone4 with separate Apple IDs. We are hopefully about to purchase the 4th gen iPad; can we use iCloud on the iPad with separate IDs on the iPhones?
We would like to have all our music, photos, etc. on the iPad - is it best to create a new combined Apple ID for the iPad and simply upload our music, photos, etc. via our laptop instead? Does this not then render the iCloud useless to us?

And just in case you were wondering, installing one purchased copy on all the Macs you own is specifically called out as allowed in the Mac OS X Lion license.
If you do not want to download multiple times, just copy the Applications -> Install Lion app to a safe place BEFORE you do the first install. Then copy that copy to any Mac you own where you want to install Lion.

HT5527 If I have both Mac OSX for laptop and desktop, and iPhones/iPads with OS 5 and later, does a single purchase on one of them cover all of them?

If I have both Mac OSX for laptop and desktop, and iPhones/iPads with OS 5 and later, does a single purchase to expand iCloud on one of the devices apply to all of them?

Yes, it's icloud's storage you will be expanding. All devices logged into an account will be able to use that storage.

How do I activate a used iPhone 3 with no SIM card for use as an ipod touch?

How do I activate a used iPhone 3G with no SIM card for use like an iPod Touch? It was apparently on AT&T previously and I have another iPhone 3 that is active on AT&T if that is helpful. Thanks!

Copied from the link provided.
Follow these steps to use your iPhone without a wireless service plan:
Insert the SIM card from your new, activated iPhone or one that was previously used to activate the original iPhone.
Connect the iPhone to iTunes on a computer connected to the Internet.
Once iTunes activates the device, you're free to use the iPhone as if it were an iPod touch.
