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 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.

  • Can you use 2 apple tvs on the same network with different apple ids and how would your devices know which apple tv to stream to?

    Hi,
    I was looking into purchasing 2 apple tvs and was wondering if they can be setup with different apple ids. I need to have mine setup with my id and be able to hook my devices to it , but have the one in a bedroom hooked to a different apple id and have my friend's devices stream to that one and not mine.  Is this possible?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order that your Apple TV only streamed from your iTunes Library and your friends to your friends, you would both have to have different homesharing ID's.
    So far as devices go, any device on a network can stream over AirPlay to an Apple TV, to ensure each of you couldn't stream to the others device you can enable a password via the Apple TV which would then need entering when you used a device for AirPlay.
    Shouldn't be a problem to do what you want to do.

  • Can I use 2 Apple TVs on the same network? Must they have the same HD size?

    Probably simple questions but
    -Can a 2nd ATV be added to a network (for a 2nd set)?
    -To sync, does it have to be the same sized HD, or can you sync them seperately?
    -Can the ATV2 output simultaneously to HDMI and component outputs or does one cancel the other?

    Interesting. I have my main flat screen with the Apple TV connected via component through to my Home theater system and wanted to also run it direct to the second HDMI for times when my wife does not want to go through the HT setup, etc. I had noticed a 1080i option, not 1080P. I gather 1080P will come up if I switch it to HDMI? My cable box allows simultaneous component and HDMI outputs. I didn't realize that 1080P is not available on the component spigots.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Can I use multiple sa-ns500 on the same network?

    Is it possible to use multiple sa-ns500 speakers on the same network?  they seem to want to have the same name on the network and therefore only 1 will connect at a time?  Can I rename one somehow?  Thanks!

    Hello Brian,
    Welcome to Sony Community.
    Please check for the Secure Link option in the Home Theater System or A/V Receiver. This will help isolate the connection to the different Network speakers.
    Yes, you can use multiple Network speakers on the same home network.
    You can change the Device name using the Setting screen on the browser.
    Follow the steps mentioned on the page # 34 and 35 of the User’s manual to start up the browser of the Network speakers and change the Device name.
    If my post answers your question, please mark it as an "Accepted Solution."

  • Apple TVs playing the same play list simultaneously

    I have two Apple TVs in seperate rooms.Is it possible to play the exact same play list (video or music) simultaneously on both Apple TVs since the content is streamed from the same main I-Tunes library?
    It would be a great feature in particular for parties.

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    If you use itunes and send output to the tv's as external speakers then yes you can do this, but of course this will only work with audio.
    It is possible to stream the same tunes/movies etc from two or more tv's at the same time, but you should be aware that they will be two (or more) separate streams and as such I doubt you would be able to manage to do this and keep the streams in sync with each other.

  • Multiple Discovery Systems on the same network

    Is anybody successfully running more than one DS on the same network? We have edited the hostname of the DS but their still seems to be a conflict between the two servers and the SID names cannot be the same as well.

    Hi Phillip,
    The changing of the hostname is not recommended by SAP, but there is a customer who succeeded in doing so and claims to have even connected 4 Discovery Systems to the same network.
    Knowing Maxim, I believe he indeed achieved it.
    Read his blog: /people/maxim.efimov2/blog/2007/05/07/how-to-change-hostname-on-sap-enterprise-soa-discovery-system
    My only tip: make a backup of the systems before you make any significant changes.

  • Multiple Apple IDs on the same computer

    We have three separate Apple IDs in our family and I need to store the iTunes media for each on the same desktop (under separate Windows user accounts).  When I start to download the media for a second account on the computer, I get a message that the computer is already associated with an Apple ID and if I continue the download, I won't be able to download content for the first account for 90 days.  How do I set up the respective Apple IDs and iTunes libraries so all three users can store and access their own content from their individual Windows accounts?

  • How can i create multiple apple ids from the same mac

    There seems to be a limit on how many apple ids can be created from the same cpu. Trying to create 100 apple ids for a client to use on ipads distributed to employees i found i could only create three or four before i got the message account cannot be created, contact itunes support. Had the same problem creating multiple itunes accounts through the App Store.

    I found this discussion because I need to create dozens of Apple IDs for the faculty and staff of the school for which I'm the IT Director.
    This is weak.
    Apple, PLEASE upgrade the Apple ID system so it represents the current needs and paradigm.
    What am I thinking, Apple (like Google) don't follow user discussion forums, except by accident when an employee sees something and is motivated enough to carry the water for users in need.
