Multiple Apple TVs - affect on school broadband

Hello, I am new to this forum. The school I support now has several Ipads and Apple TVs and the number is growing. Does any one know what impact this may have on broadband. Does using multiple Apple Tvs affect speed etc? Any information re any technical issues of using Apple TV in school would be much appreciated.

Yes, internal use (iPad to Apple TV) will not affect brodband connectivity.
The signal from iPad needs to go to WiFi router (or access point) and then back to Apple TV. So it is a bit over kill in busy environments. To easy the WiFi traffic it is advisable to wire Apple TV via ethernet port - this hat to be on the same LAN (VLAN) as the WiFi network.
Let me know if you have more questions.

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?

Using Multiple Apple TVs to stream iTunes Music

Hey there All,
I'm considering using multiple(at least 2) Apple TVs to stream iTunes content around my home. The layout is ranch style and I'd like to put 1 in my Media room where I have my main HT set-up and another in the dining area. Will I be able to have these act like Airport Express units and have same music playing on both, if both are on? I'm considering this as I often entertain and am looking for an inexpensive solution to a Crestron or Sonos system and I'd also like to be able to move 1 Apple TV unit to a different location like the Deck in the Summer & just connect my old boombox with RCA inputs.
TIA for any assistance or suggestions.

Hey there BCFind,
Thanks for your response and good wishes. I've tried a couple of AE stations with limited success(dropping connection--still have them, any thoughts there? I'd appreciate them) and I would like to have the video option, have over 100 DVD rips stored on my iMac CD's external drive that play through iTunes(converted to H.264), a Netflix sub and we love the Jazz stations on iTunes radio. I use my 1st gen iPod Touch and Apple's Remote app with my iMac for music in my bedroom/office but, we'd like to occasionally also eat & watch a movie together as well have the music, get a 2 for 1-- music for entertaining and movies for the family. So, the original question... you're saying 2 ATVs will play the same music if both are on, in the same way that the Airport Express does?
Your set-up seems sweet. Thanks again.

How to stream the same VIDEO from iTunes to multiple Apple TVs simultaneously?

I'm trying to stream the same video/movie from iTunes 10.5.2 under Mac OS X 10.7.2 to 2 Apple TVs simultaneously so that they are in sync. We have 2 TVs in our cafe and are trying to send the pre-service video announcements to both screen wirelessly.
Audio is no problem as I just choose the Multiple Speakers option on the AirPlay icon at the bottom right of iTunes. However, when I choose a video, the Multiple option is not available. I know I can go into the Apple TV menu and choose the video from my Mac that has Home Sharing activated but it is virtually impossible to get the videos synced on both screens.
Is there something I'm missing or is a 3rd party application available that will do this?
Please read what I'm trying to do carefully before responding.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Derek

I'm also struggling with this. I have a Mac Mini and 5 ATV2's that I want to stream video content to simultaneously.

Syncing multiple Apple TVs on one account

Hey All!

Also I will be getting an iPhone in July.
Thanks!

Can I share my iTunes Library for multiple Apple TVs?

I have an Airport/Time Capsule, 2TB harddrive. I have Apple TV. I have a Mac Book Pro. Can I point multiple Apple TV devices to the same iTunes library on my Mac Book Pro? Or, even better, can I move my iTunes library to my Airport/Time Capsule and have the Apple TV devices look at the library there?
I don't have Airport Extreme, if that is the only device that will allow this.

I have been looking into this further and I notice that the "Base Station" menu selections are grayed out. Apparently I did something wrong in my set up. I'm reading through my set up booklet to see if I can find it. If I get it configured as a base station, that might help me.

Multiple Apple TVs in one house but one computer

I just bought a second Apple TV for my house and only have one computer whose iTunes Library I would like to sync to both Apple TVs. But I don't see the second Apple TV in the device list. Just the first one. The new one does appear in the speaker pull down list on the lower right corner of iTunes and I can even use it as an external speaker for my iTunes library, but it has never appeared in the device list. Is there a limitation that only one Apple TV can sync to a library.
All software is up to date, I've restarted everything several time, and nothing works. I've also unplugged the old one and still iTunes can't see the new one. Ideas?

In order to add a second tv you will need to register it with the itunes library (settings/computers/connect to shared library)
that won't provide syncing though (as it's a shared library). ??

Multiple Apple TVs with one iTunes Library

I have searched this subject and found one thread that touches on the topic. It says that I should be able to "connect" five Apple TVs to my single iTunes library. I have on original Apple TV that connects to my iTunes library just fine. I just purchased a second ATV for my bedroom. It will go thru the setup process easily and will connect to the iTunes music store. When I browse the "My Movies" menu item it will show me all the movies that I converted with Handbrake from my DVD collection but none of the purchased content from the iTunes Store. When I browse the "My TV Shows" menu item I get a message that my iTunes library contains no content. (my TV shows library contains only content purchased from the iTunes store). This scenario only occurs if I connect to the iTunes library as a primary connection that allows syncing. If I add the iTunes library as a "shared library" I am able to see and stream ALL of the content from my iTunes library.
Will an iTunes library only connect and sync with ONE ATV and do all secondary ATVs need to "share"?
As a side note.....when I noticed this problem I thought there was a hardware problem with the ATV so I took it back to the apple store. When we connected it to their media library it gave the same message that "there was no content in the iTunes library". It would however successfully share as a streaming only connection. I was given a new ATV but the same problem as described above continues.

It has been properly set up. I even purchased a TV show and a movie with it from the iTunes store that would play while still in the download phase but once the video was downloaded and synced back to my iTunes library it was no longer visible from the ATV.

Multiple Apple TVs to one Itunes

We love our Apple TV and now that we can get movies in Canada, we are addicted. We have three homes. Our primary residence is in Saskatoon Canada and that is where we have our computer (DELL/Vista) with Itunes and an Apple TV. We also have a cottage 30 minutes outside of Saskatoon and my wife has recently purchased a Condo in Honolulu. If we were to buy Apple TVs for our cottage and our condo, is there any way to sync the movies, music, pictures we have on our Itunes in Saskatoon to these Apple TVs at our cottage and condo?
Thx
Ronn

Apple tv's always sync through itunes. you can either transfer content to a computer that you would have at each residence or sync content in Saskatoon and then move the apple tv to each residence. you could not add to the connect if you usually buy through itunes, but if you buy content on the apple tv itself then it should pose no problem, however if you buy content on the apple tv it will only be on that individual apple tv.

Multiple apple tvs to one iTunes and iMac

I installed 10 apple tvs in my office all linked to 1 iMac.
I just found out that I can only access the iTunes on only 5 of the apple tvs.
Is there a way to access all ten from one iMac using 2 iTunes accounts at the same time?. and how canister de authorize some of the apple tvs from the iTunes account ?

Multiple Apple TVs - one iTunes Host ?

Is that possible at all ? I would choose Apple TVs to equip a building if it is possible to hook them up to one iTunes host.
I've built similar systems for audio, with Airport Expresses.
A second question I couldn't find an answer for:
Is there password protection for streaming access from a mobile device ?
I don't want guest A to be able to stream his stuff to room B....

yes, providing your network has enough bandwidth to handle all the traffic.
the original appletv had a limit of 5 devices to 1 itunes library, not sure if the new one has the same limit as it is using a different method to connect to itunes (HomeSharing).

that is AirPlay you are talking about, and that isn't available yet (that only comes with iOS4.2 which isn't out yet).
so until that is released, you won't find an answer to that. however i doubt there will be password protection for that.

Multiple Apple TVs, one iTunes source...

Before I jump in and buy a couple of these for my house, I wanted to make sure that I can set up two rooms with Apple TVs and have one computer elsewhere feeding both. From the website, it is not clear if there is a one-to-one relationship between an iTunes server and Apple TV client, or if more than one client can hook up and the system will work.
Can someone inform me?

well is there any way for me to change that helpful to solved? I thought I could do both heh.
