Many AppleTV's one home?

There's been a lot of back and forth on the various boards comparing the value customers get from AppleTV versus just buying a Mini and directly attaching it to the TV set. I, like many, thought that way at first, and indeed pondered the purchase of a Mini to act as a media center-style machine.
Then, the value of AppleTV, beyond the typical hit me.
Can't I have multiple AppleTV's in my home - say, one on each TV set that supports the cabling & protocols, etc. and centralize my media on a single server/machine, streaming it to my tv of choice depending on which room I'm in?
Now, Granted, I understand I can only send a single stream at once, or at least I think that's the case.
But, assuming I can only be in one room at once, myself, and want to watch a movie in my living room - I can start it there - via my living room AppleTV, and then when I want to go up to bed, simply stop the playback and resume from the same iTunes server, streamed to my upstairs bedroom tv, picking up right where the movie left off downstairs?
That would be a win for me if I could have that flexibility - much more so than buying a Mac for each TV in the house.
Thoughts?

You can connect up to five Apple TVs to a single copy of iTunes. So unless you have more than five TVs, you should be in good shape.

No. From everything I can tell, each Apple TV is completely independent of any others.

I rented a movie on iTunes via iPad with the intention of watching it on AppleTV later at home. Why isn't this showing up in my account on AppleTV?

I rented a movie on iTunes via iPad with the intention of watching it on AppleTV later at home. Why isn't this showing up in my account on AppleTV (or in iTunes on my computer for that mater)? Apple promotes the rental service as being able to allow viewers to watch, start/stop, content on all account related iOS devices.

It would be nice but I've never seen them explicitly advertise that.
Can I play my rental on more than one device?
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

How do you move many "Folders" from one Catalog to "one" other Catalog?

When I first start using LR, I did not know anything about catalog.
After 5000 photos, everything is in the Lightroom Catalog.Ircat (by the way, what does Ir stand for?)
Some photos are done in the office (work related for PowerPoint). Many others are done at home.
Now I have learned to export a folder (containing birthday photos) to a new catalog in my external USB drive and deleted the folder from the laptop HD, I have done another folder (containing party photos) to yet a new catalog in my external USB drive.
My question is: How do I set up one Home.Ircat in the USB HD and move all my Home related folders to the external drive leaving all my work related folders as it in the laptop? Then, when I want to see my home photos, I won't have to deal with relaunching new catalogs every time I want to see something. Do you understand what I am trying to accomplish? (exactly, my boss won't buy me a bigger HD for the laptop, sucks!)
I am sure this is very simple. Please help.
Eddie

Thank you. Wish they had said Lrcat!
I can export folders into a new LR catalog, but if I export 10 folders, I ended up with 10 catalogs and each catalog contains only one (1) single folder.
What I like to do is to create a new catalog, such as Home.lrcat and move the folders over from Lightroom Catalog.lrcat so now one single Home.lrcat can contain 10 folders of home photos.
How do I do that?
Please help.

How many ipods on one computer?

Clearly new to this music download stuff! My dgtr just got a shuffle, I have an MP3 sansa can we both use itunes to get music? The reason I ask is we heard we can not charge our ipod at my sisters when out of town only one ipod per computer???? This makes no sense clearly people have more then one ipod in some homes so what do we do? Can I plug the ipod shuffle into my sister's computer to charge or download from?
Also well I am here can I use itunes with the sansa MP3 as that would be awesome, although I need clear directions on how to do that.
Thanks so much for your help old mom with new technology is frustrated!!!
have a great night
M

You can use as many ipods with one PC as you want, but only have one plugged in at a time.
Here is an article on that. I prefer method 2.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495
The Sansa player, you can't load anything onto it from itunes.
Just use Windows Explorer to drop MP3 files onto it. Also, iTunes Store purchases are in AAC format and I don't think will play on a Sansa. So buy mp3s from Amazon for the Sansa.

Maximum Number of Apple TVs in One Home

How many Apple TVs can be installed in one home with one iTunes account?

As per: http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SALES

I have to keep restarting AppleTV to see Home Sharing on Windows 7 iTunes

I used to have all my media on a NAS drive with modified ATV2 so I can access my movies on there. This worked absolutely perfect, except I was annoyed I could not store and play iTunes purchased movies from the NAS. So I decided to factory reset ATV back to normal with latest update (6.0.2) and invest in a Windows 7 computer (Acer Revo) so I can leave it on permanently with iTunes running so I can access all my movies, TV shows and pics on all my devices anytime in the house without having my Macbook always on. Now I have problems.
Multiple times a day, I go to Computers on Apple TV and it either says "there was a problem connecting to the computer" or to "turn home sharing on on the computer". The computer is running fine. I can see and access it on the network using my computers and other devices. iTunes is running. Home Sharing is On.
To fix it I have to restart Apple TV and then Apple TV can connect OK.
The AppleTV is connected via network cable to the router, and so is the server (no wifi). The router is a Technicolour Gateway.
I have disabled the Firewall on Windows 7, still same problem.
The server, and AppleTV both have static IP addresses assigned.
iTunes on Windows 7 is version 11.1.3.8
ATV2 software is 6.0.2
I do hope I can fix this, because I want to do it Apple's way, and have spent all this time moving my library to iTunes. But if I cant I have to modify ATV2 again and not use Home Sharing. I also wanted to purchase an ATV3 for my bedroom, and for the kids rooms, but I am not going to if this problem persists.
P.S. I do not believe I should have an Apple computer with iTunes on, this should work seamlessly with iTunes on Windows 7. So dont know what else I can do.
P.P.S. I can see this is a common problem, but I started a new thread because everyone else says they have to restart iTunes or the router to fix it. I do not have to do this. I have to restart AppleTV. So I wonder if its an AppleTV issue and not a router/iTunes/server issue.
Thanks

I also get this problem on my iPad, so probably not related to the AppleTV. On the iPad I restarted Airport Extreme this time, and then the iPad saw my Home Sharing.
So to recap, restarting the router or Airport Express allowed the iPad and AppleTV to see Home Sharing. Restarting AppleTV also allows AppleTV to see Home Sharing.
So does anyone have any idea?
Thanks

Is it Ok to put many classes in one file ?

Hi all,
This is another beginner question. I was wondering, is it good practice to put many classes in one single file? Sometimes I notice there are many classes inside one big file and sometimes each class is in its own separate file. Is there an advantage in separating each class in each different file? For e.g. one big file, called A.java:
class A {
    public static void main(String[] args) { }
class B {}
class C {}
class D {}Is it better to have class B in a B.java file, and class C in C.java, etc? In the real-world workplace, what is the usual practice?
Thank you for your replies.
P/S : I love Java, it's so cool. :-)

I have also seen situations, in large software systems, where a compile that fails partway through will leave the top level classes that do not match the file name unbuilt, and some compilers will then not be able to build, because they cannot map the class name to the source file.

Go to System Preferences and click Sign Out, select Delete at all the prompts, then sign back in with the changed ID? (Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out and choose Delete, but will still be in iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

How to update many documents in one go using portal permissions

Hello,
I have two users in the portal with different permissions on a folder:
rct2774: Total control
rct3343: Read
So, connected to the portal, rct3343 can´t upload (or erase) any document.
Now, I´ve followed these instructions to update many documents in one go (found in "how to upload a folder containg HTML files in a KM folder" topic 22 - jun - 2006)
"You can use the WebDaV.
1. Get the WebDav path of your KM folder by going to details->properties->Access Links
2. Copy the url for the WebDav
3. Go to your desktop. Right Click on My Network Places.
click on open.
4. Click on add a network place.
5. Click on "Choose another network location"
6. Paste your copied url and click on next.
7. Enter your portal userid and password. Now drag and drop your files from desktop. "
But, updating this way both users (rct2774 and rct3343) can update, download and erase any document that belongs to that location.
Do you know a way to update many documents in one go respecting or keeping the portal permissions?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Esteban

Hi Marc,
First of all, thaks for your prompt reply. I´m new in these themes and any help is wellcome.
We are doing many tests now, so we´re using the server portal as repository in itself. It´s quite strange because the permissions work at the portal correctly but not by the other way.
Should I download the portal drive to the client PC for mantain the portal permissions?
Thank you!

Is it possible to have too many keyframes in one project in Premiere?

Hi all,
I'm using Premiere 6 on a Windows 7 ULT machine.
Is it possible to have too many keyframes in one project in Premiere?
I'm getting app crashes when I try to re-open a certain project in Premiere 6 and it seems that if that file has over 93 keyframes, then it will not re-open. But I can re-open that exact same project file with 93 keyframes in it, no problem.
But if I go any further and create any more keyframes than 93 in a new re-saved version of the exact same file, then that file will not re-open and I get an app crash... you can see screenshots of the two Windows app crash info panels below that I'm getting from three different bad Premiere project files that I've created so far.
I've tested and tested what is going on here and this seems to be what is causing the bad files. I've re-created the scenario and re-created files with over 93 keyframes from the same base project file that will still open... as soon as I get more than 93 keyframes in this file, then that newly saved file will not re-open after I close and try to re-open it.
This is 75 keyframes in one still image clip, 14 keyframes in another still image clip and 2 keyframes each in two other still image clips in a single project file... that is the limit... if I create any more keyframes in the clip that has 75 keyframes, the new file will save and render, but it won't re-open once it has been closed.
The two slightly different app crash info panels show, in the first one below,
"Fault Module Name: StackHash_e98d"
... and the second one shows,
"Fault Module Name: PREMINFO.dll"
... both messages with a little more different info in each one. I get either of the two error info panels when trying to re-open all three bad files that I've created with over 93 keyframes in them. That is, two of the files alternate between giveing "StackHash_e98d" and "PREMINFO.dll" when trying to open them and one of them always shows the "Fault Module Name: PREMINFO.dll" error.
So even the error messages are inconsistent with two of the bad files.
I've searched the internet for this error in association with Premiere and I've also searched on this forum and found nothing. Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks,
digi

Bill,
Even though I figured out a work around, I was still interested to know if these file opening crashes are related to Virtual Memory.
So on the topic of Virtual Memory... a few months ago I was troubleshooting a different problem in Premeire and I found this information...
"To improve performance in Premiere Pro, adjust the size of the paging file to a maximum of twice the amount of installed RAM."
Previous to that time three months ago or so, I had my Virtual Memory settings at the default automatic setting, but I tried setting my VM to twice the amount of installed RAM, and I've had it set that way ever since, just to make sure I'm optimizing the VM performance for Premiere and other apps.
But that isn't making any difference in this case. Today I also found information in a search that says to troubleshoot StackHash crashes, one should turn off "DEP" in the system settings for the application with the crash problem... according to the paragraph below, from the second post down by Chris on this tdistler.com page... http://tdistler.com/2009/04/10/stackhash-and-application-crashes-on-windows
Even though this was written in 2009 with Windows Vista in mind, many things for Vista work in Windows 7... it says,
"Here’s how 99 percent of Vista users can fix a StackHash failure. I’ll walk you through it step by step:
Method A:
1. Open your Start menu and click Control Panel
2. Browse to “System Maintenance” then “System”
3. In the left panel, select “Advanced System Settings” from the available links
4. You should now see the System Properties Window, which will have three sections. The top section is labeled “Performance” and has a “Settings” button. Click this button.
5. Select the “Data Execution Prevention” tab.
6. Select the option which reads “Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select”
7. Use the “Browse” button to locate the executable file for the application you were trying to start when you received the StackHash error, and click Open to add it to your exceptions list.
8. Click Apply or OK to commit your changes."
But I tried this and none of the three problem files that I encountered would open... I still got the StackHash_e98d or PREMINFO.dll crash errors.
So anyway, I'm a ways past that in my project now, just continuing with more keyframes over the number of 78 in separate but identical still image clips... that allows me to successfully work with this project with as many keyframes as I need.
Thanks again,
digi

When ordering enlarged photos from iPhoto, must I purchase them one at a time and pay a shipping fee for each and very one of them. Sort of a ripoff but I can't figure how to purchase many and pay one shipping fee.

You may have better luck posting in the iPhoto forum if no one on this forum is able to assist. I'm sure you are doing something wrong though.

i am trying to purchase many songs at one time. i have added all songs to wish list , now to purchase it will only let me do one at a time please advise how i can purchase more than one at a time

There used to be a 'buy all' button on the wish list screen but for some reason that has been removed from the current version of iTunes so you will need to buy each item individually. You can try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe it'll be added back in a future update : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
