Multiple Apple TVs using same Remote app

Hi there
I have an Apple TV at work which we share using a company Apple ID, and an Apple TV at home which I use with my personal Apple ID. Is there any way I can use the remote app on my iphone to control both, without signing in and out of Home Sharing on the remote app with the two different IDs?
Thanks

Thanks and thanks! I thought I might have been missing something.
It's a bit restrictive to expect all users to have only one Home Sharing account - hopefully they'll address this in a future update.

    You need to find your old remote or buy a new one.

  • Multiple apple owners/ use same apple ID?

    I have just purchased an iphone 4 and I already had an apple id on my Family Ipad..and I used the same apple ID from it to my IPHONE, but I don't want all my Phone contacts and Imessages to go to BOTH  products..Should I  or Can I delete the ID from phone?  Once I do so, won't I lose my contact info?
    I have read that it is recommended to sync ..but I don't see if that is all good..being that IPAD is for Family usage and IPHONE to be personal?
    My spouse has his own IPHONE also but w/their OWN Apple ID..

    You can use the same Apple ID for purchasing (in Settings>Store on your device), but it is recommended that you use different Apple IDs on your devices for other services such as iMessage, FaceTime, etc.  This article may be helpful: http://www.macstories.net/stories/ios-5-icloud-tips-sharing-an-apple-id-with-you r-family/.
    To change Apple IDs for iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Receive At, tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  Do the same for FaceTime in Settings>FaceTime.
    To change the Apple ID for purchasing (optional), go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using the alternate ID.

  • HT1947 After updating My Apple TV to 5.1 I can browse music library using the Remote app on my iPhone and iPad but cannot select a song to play. Is someone else having the same problem?

    I have updated my Apple TV to 5.1. Using the Remote app on my IPhone and iPad I can browse the music library on the Apple TV but I cannot select a song to play. Has someone else the same problem?

    I think I found the reason. On my iMac that is hosting the music library a song already was playing. This seems to block out me from selecting another song though my Apple TV.

  • 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?

  • My husband has paired his phone using the remote app to the TV- I would like to do the same with my phone. Can we pair more than one phone to the tv using the remote app ?

    My husband has paired his phone using the remote app to the apple TV- I would like to do the same with my phone. Can we pair more than one phone to the tv using the remote app ?

    Yes I believe so. Try it and see you can always delete the Apple TV from a remote if it messes things up.
    But we have three remotes setup to do this. My iPhone and iPad and my wifes iPhone. She has a different iTunes logon but it seems to work fine

  • How can I set up a new network on my apple tv when my remote app isn't picking it up because they aren't on the same network?

    How can I set up a new network on my apple tv when my remote app isn't picking it up because they aren't on the same network? The actual remote doesn't work anymore, so I've been using the remote app on my phone but now that our internet changed, I can't do anything at all. Please help!

    You can't use the remote app to setup a network. If your physical remote isn't working you will need borrow another or purchase a replacement.

  • HT1206 Lots of info about one user using multiple computers. What about multiple users with separate Apple IDs using same computer? Having problems getting my wifes new iPhone talking to her apple account on the computer we share (2 users)

    You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

  • TS1741 I have lost the original remote for my Apple TV. I went to install it at my fiancés house, and cannot use the remote app on my ipad or iPhone. Can I still control the Apple TV with the apps?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

  • HT1947 Can I use the "Remote" app to turn the Apple TV on and off?

    The Apple TV doesn't switch on and of, it goes to sleep and wakes up, but yes you can perform these actions using the remote app.

  • I have use Apple TV with the remote app on my iPad 4 and my iPhone 5 I reinstalled the app on my iPad but the gestures do not work

    I have been able to use my remote app from my iPad4 and my iPhone 5 until recently. I can connect and the tap to select works fine. But the app stopped responding to hand gesutres to navigate the ATV screen. All my software is updated to the latest versions. I deleted the app from my iPda and reloaded it from the app store. I turned off all my devices, including my router before reinstalling the app. I did not unplug the ATV. The app will activate the ATV and tapping menu brings me to the main screen but I cannot navigate the screen at all.

    It reboots it but unplugging can also rectify communication issues like this. A restore would be the next step.

  • 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.

    Dear Apple friends,
    I have the exact same problem with some apps.
    Even when I try some websites in Safari and Chrome that require loading big chunks of data they crash.
    Today it crashed in two new places. In the notification center and when I opened newstand app I no longer was able to return to the main window and the dock disappeared.
    I have my ipad retina for about three months now but latelly this issue has became more frequent. What should I do?
    Should I update to the latest firmware and do what raymond73 said?
    Is there a fix for this issue?
    Has Apple said anything about this? Because I see that this issue is happening to a lot of people.
    Is it possible to downgrade to iOS 6?
    Is it a firmware problem? That can be fixed in future releases? Or an hardware issue?
    Should I wait or go to the place I bought it and try to get the money back?

  • I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library from my ipad using the remote app but this no longer works.  I am connected but sound thru ipad.  Is this because of they want us to use itunes match

    I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library on my ipad  using the remote app but this no longer works.  I am connected but sound thru ipad- just controls my library on iMac.  Is this because of they want us to use itunes match

    That has nothing to do with iTunes match. The Remote app on iPad can control the computer's iTunes but not play content from iTunes on your iPad.
    To play for example iTunes imusic on iPad
    You need to have Home Sharing On.
    Check Settings > Music > Home Sharing (key in your Apple ID & password here, must be the same on computer's iTunes)
    Start iPad's Music app, tap the ... More (bottom right), tap Shared.
    Choose your iTunes' library and have fun.
