Multiple Apple Tv's sharing same network but in separate rooms

Hi,
I currently have an apple tv set up in my home theater room but would like add another atv in my bedroom. Is it possible to have multiple atv's sharing the same wireless network. Would this idea workout?
thanks

Yes, no problem at all. You can add as many as you want.
Every Apple TV has it's own unique MAC adress and will get it's own IP adress on the network.
You can even give every Apple TV it's own unique name.

Multiple Apple TVs on the same network

I teach at a school and have used an Apple TV in conjunction with my iPad for presentations. I find it invaluable. Other teachers at my school would like to do the same, but I'm told by our tech support that multiple Apple TVs on the same network cause problems. When I ask them what problems, they aren't sure. They just tell me that other school have experienced problems. Other than a wifi bandwidth problem, I can't imagine what kind of problem it would be. A collegue of mine wants to jump onboard but desn't want to make waves. Does anyone know of any problems?

I have two Apple TV's, one in the living room and one in the bedroom... however, the living room is the only one that my iphone Remote APP is connecting with... I've named/tagged the two ATV's hoping that the Remote APP would provide me the option on which one to control, but it doesn't....
I've confirmed that home sharing is "on" with in all devices "settings"...
Any suggestions?

Apple remote and multiple Apple TV's on same network question

I have 1st gen apple TV, Want to add 2nd gen apple tv. I assume I can do that. My real question is when using apple remote, can I control both Apple TVs independently?
Anyone have any knowledge of if this will work or not?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you are talking about the supplied remote, as Rudegar suggests you can pair each remote with each device so that only that remote will control the device it's paired with.
To pair a remote with a device hold down the menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see a chain icon on screen. However it's not all that common for the TV's to be in different locations where an unpaired remote is unlikely to control both Apple TV's together. If you leave the remotes unpaired you should be able to use either remote with either Apple TV.
Alternatively if you are talking about the remote App for the iPhone, iPad or iPod, each Apple TV will show up as a separate device and you can control any Apple TV on your network from anywhere in your home.

I just bought Apple TV 2 can I still use apple tv on the same network?

I just bought Apple TV 2 can I still use apple tv on the same network?

Yes, no problem at all.
AppleTV 1 should still appear in the same itunes it syncs/streams from.
For AppleTV2 you must enable Home Sharing on it and in iTunes, but you dio not see it as a device in itunes.

Using 2 Apple TVs on the same network

Is it possible to use 2 Apple TV units, each connected to its own HDMI equipped television, but each utilizing the same Wi-Fi network?

You can use 2 Apple TVs on the same network independently. I currently have such a setup.
My question then comes up: How do you isolate AirPlay menus (or "forget" the other Apple TV) so that you don't inadvertently start streaming something to the other Apple TV instead of to the one you want, or vice versa, seeing a random YouTube or photo stream in the middle of your movie.
Basically, I live on a different floor with someone on the same wifi network as me. We can't have separate wi-fi networks. We can see each other's Apple TV in the AirPlay menu and it's causing all sorts of problems with accidental interruptions.

HT4356 I have an air-print enabled printer: HP Premium e-all-in-one C310. Can't print from iPad iOS6. They're on the same network, but have different IP addresses. On the iPad it's 192.16.1.126 and on my printer it's 192.168.1.133. Can I match them? H

I can't print from my iPad2 to my air-print enabled printer (HP Premium e-all-in-one C310). They're on the same network, but have differed IP addresses! The iPad IP is 192-168-1.126 and the printer is 192-168.1.133. That's the only difference I can see. Is there a way to fix this?

fyi:
you put periods between the numbers.
Each device needs a unique number.
for the 192.168.1 the right must number should vary. 192.168.1.x
the numbers you have look ok.
Power off all devices: wifi router, printer, ipad.. wait 10 minutes. poweron router ... wait power on printer wait then power on ipad.
cross fingers.

Multiple production clusters on the same network? just change UDP port?

If I want multiple production clusters on the same network do I just make sure each cluster is on it's own multicast port? or are other changes required?
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
I think to be safe it would be best to use a different address and port.

I have unplugged the apple TV but it still says noat connected. However, it has accessed some movies but when I try to purchase or download from say netflix, it cannot.

My Apple TV recognises my wifi network but will not connect to it, when I enter the password

Help please - my Apple TV recognises my wifi network but will not connect to it, when I enter the password - it just says 'there was a problem connecting to the network - check your settings and try again (5).' What should I do next?

people repport that apple products in general I believe have problems with support for the outdated encryption type called wep encryption which is also pretty useless and easy to break
if you use that try disabling it or changing to wpa encryption
if you use MAC address filtering in your router then you need to add the appletv's MAC address to the positive list

Can Management Studio connect to a server that is on the same network but not on the same domain?

Should management studio be able to connect to an instance of an sql server that is on the same network but not on the same domain? I am trying to have it do so but am unsuccessful, so to continue to troubleshoot what the issue might be I need to know
whether I am embarking on an exercise in futility.

Hello,
That's your issue!
Since you're attempting to use Windows Authentication you'll need to start the SSMS process under the domain credentials of the domain account that has access to that SQL Server. Otherwise windows is going to send you local user token which is going to quickly
be rejected as your local computer user account is not the correct domain account.
You can do this by either using shift+right-click run as different user or from the command line using RunAs /user.
In either case, if you want to use Windows Authentication you'll need to run the SSMS process as that domain user so that you can pass a valid security token.
Edit:
I read that backwards... If it's not on any domain (or member of a workgroup) you'll have a really hard time in using windows authentication as you're limited to LOCAL users on that machine. Thus you could really only use windows auth if you were logged
in locally on that server. I'd either setup a SQL Login for this or join it to a domain.

Apple TV connects to the network but cannot connect to the internet.

Apple TV connects to the network but cannot connect to the internet. Works on other Apple TV's we have just not this new one. Defective??? Thank you!

This might help:
Apple TV (2nd gen.) saw my wireless network but did not accept my password (gave a network error message). It fixed instantly doing this:
Made a note of the Apple TV's MAC address. Get it by pressing Menu on the remote, then Settings > General > About. It's called "WiFi address."
Use your browser on a network connected computer to go to your router settings (usually 192.168.1.1).
Under "Wireless > Wireless MAC Filter" (or something similar) do these steps:
Enable Wireless MAC filter
Enable "Permit PCs listed below to access the wireless network"
Enter the Apple TV's MAC address
Click "Save Setting"
When I did this the network connection immediately started working.
Note: These instructions are based on a Cisco Wireless-N Broadband, model WRT160Nv2, firmware v2.0.02.

HT204053 can you have multiple apple id's for the family but we all use the same iCloud?

Can you have multiple apple id's for the family members but we all us the same iCloud account?

You'll have to have an ID you all share in order to have a shared iCloud account. It would be sensible for each person to have their own ID and their own iCloud account for email and their own data (each would be on their own computer/iOS device or user account on a Mac) and then have a common account which everyone would sign into in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars to access shared data.
You don't want to be all using the email in a common account - if people are using email aliases remember these can't be detached from the account and transferred to another one. Having all your emails mixed up together can be somewhat impracticable.

HT204053 I have multiple apple devices, 2x phones ipad etc, but all are through the same email and I only get the storage space for one device, what should I do?

I have multiple devices all under the same id and email but I don't get multiple icloud storage space and it's running out!
Can anyone help as I've just bought an iphone for my daughter and would like to link it as well.
Thanks in anticipation of your help.

One icloud account gets a 5 GB of storage, regardless of the number of devices connecting to it. But you're in luck, you can buy more storage for the account if you are running low.
As for your daughter, be sure to get her own icloud account, otherwise she'll end up getting all your email, contacts, etc. And if she deletes any of this data, it will be deleted on your devices as well. Note: you can all keep using the same ID for the itunes store for sharing purchased items.
To create a new icloud account, go to

Can multiple apple IDs have the same billing address??

So yea is it possible for multiple or more than one apple IDs to have the same billing address, like those created for use by members restrictively within a specific family for example??

It is possible but no more than 3 different Apple IDs for the same credit card. If you need more than three (more members of the family or a small business with 4 or more people who need individual Apple IDs) you can use one or more iTunes gift cards instead of a regular credit or debit card.
