Streaming purchased TV from a friend's account?

My house is well set up with Apple tech. My iTunes library sits on my MacBookPro and I stream media to my Apple TV (2nd Edition). Sometimes I make TV series purchases directly from my Apple TV and watch them as they are streamed from the iCloud.
I have a friend coming over, and rather than watching what I have bought we would like to stream some of her purchased TV from the iCloud to my Apple TV. Is this possible? Can I just log out of my Apple ID and log in to hers on my Apple TV?
Apple is great at converging all of my tech if it is for just 1 user, but I am not sure how good it is for multiple users in one household? I'm sure what I am asking for is not a stretching ask from my tech... is it?

I have a friend coming over, and rather than watching what I have bought we would like to stream some of her purchased TV from the iCloud to my Apple TV. Is this possible? Can I just log out of my Apple ID and log in to hers on my Apple TV
No. Only your Apple ID is assigned to your Apple TV.

  • My ipad streaming purchased video from itunes stops every few seconds.  does not happen with any other streaming video service.

    my ipad streaming purchased video from itunes stops every few seconds.  This does not happen with any other streaming video service.  I have restarted and rebooted already. 

    I've tried both things, but video still stutters.. Have also tried removing profile, and complete reinstall of firefox.
    I'm on 24 Mbit cable and the only user atm. IE and Chrome seems to work without stuttering.
    I've having this stuttering every ~5th second, like a small "1/4 sec buffering".

  • I bought my Whatsapp from a friend's account, because my account buys only free apps. Thing is, if I updated my iPhone to the new iOS 5, will I lose Whatsapp?!

    I bought my Whatsapp from a friend's account, because my account buys only free apps. Thing is, if I updated my iPhone to the new iOS 5, will I lose Whatsapp?!

    When installing iOS 5, the iPhone is backed up first (which does not include any iTunes content including 3rd party apps) followed by being completely erased before iOS 5 is installed. This is followed by the backup being restored and all iTunes content in your iTunes library that is selected to be transferred to your iPhone being re-transferred.
    If the app is in your iTunes library, you shouldn't lose it, but since this app was downloaded with your friend's iTunes account, I'm not sure how the app wll be re-transferred unless your computer is also authorized with your friend's iTunes account with iTunes.
    No promises.

  • Hi.iforgot to erase iphone 4s and removed it from my friends icloud account.now itunes says this account cannot be used to activate this iphone.i have his id and password,can log in to his icloud account but cant activate iphone.how to solve this problem?

    hi.i bought an iphone 4s from my friend.connected to itunes to restore it for a fresh install.after restoring to ios7 i realised that activation lock is enabled.i called my friend and get his id and pass.itunes said pass is wrong and cant activate the phone.then i logged in my friends icloud account (icloud.com said pass is ok) with same password and i removed the phone from 'find my iphone' list.but i forgot to erase the phone before removing it.now itunes says ''this apple id cannot be used to activate this iphone''.when i log in to icloud i cant see the phone in 'find my iphone' list so cant erase it now.can you please advise me step by step how to activate this phone?

    APPLE says:If the previous owner is not present
    Make sure the device is powered on and connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. Then contact the previous owner and ask them to follow these steps:
    Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
    Select the device from their Find My iPhone device list by clicking All Devices at the top of the screen.
    Erase the device by clicking the Erase button. This will erase all content and settings from the device. When prompted, do not enter a phone number or message. Click Next until the device is erased.
    When the erase is complete, click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
    After the device has been erased and removed from the account, you can proceed with the device setup process.
    i forgot to erase the phone.i just removed it without erasing.

  • HT1918 Is it possible to start a new iTunes account and transfere all purchase data from an existing iTunes account then keep both accounts active but separate from that point onwards?

    We have a family iTunes account but we are now wanting to separate into 2accounts for financial reasons. Is it possible to transfere all purchased material into a new iTunes account then continue to have the 2seperate accounts with separate billing information going forward.

    All content from iTunes is tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it, and it's not currently possible to copy or transfer content to a different  account.  You can create a new account for new purchases, and as long as the current account is authorised on the computers iTunes that you use then you should be able to continue using that content.
    Note that if you use iTunes match, turn on automatic downloads or re-download past purchases for an account then you risk tying that computer to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

  • Streaming purchased movies from a local drive

    Hi everyone.  I'm currently using the most recent Apple TV model, as of September 2014, with the most recent software updates installed.  I am not previously familiar with the platform.
    I am curious as to whether or not there is a system setting, other than Airplay, that will allow me to stream my purchased movies, from the iMac on my LAN by default.  It appears that the Apple TV is streaming my purchased movies from the iCloud.  I would like to make the device stream the movies from my iMac, instead.  Is this possible?

    If you are going to the Movies icon then it will stream your purchases from the cloud. If you would like to stream from your Mac you need to go to the Computers icon. Make sure home sharing is enabled on Apple TV and iTunes.
    Note: all content would need to be in iTunes or on an external drive pointed to iTunes. Computer must be on and running iTunes.

  • How do I transfer purchased apps from one Apple ID account to another?

    I noticed I was purchasing apps on my iphone using a different Apple ID.  Both use the same email address. 
    Here is what I want to do:
    1. Which account is older?  I don't remember which Apple ID I registered when I purchased my iPhone.  How can I find this out?
    2. I only want to keep one Apple ID.  How do I get rid of the other one?
    3. Before I "delete" the Apple ID, how do I transfer the contents (apps, songs)?  Do I transfer this to the other account?  Should I transfer this to a computer?  Do I download them to iTunes, and if so, under which account would be downloading them to?   I have heard you can burn songs onto a disc.  Can I also do this for apps? 
    Thanks again!

    1)  not sure.
    2 ) You don't.  you can stop using it, but everything purchased with it, will still be tied to it, and your computers will need to be authorized to that account.
    3)  "Before I "delete" the Apple ID, how do I transfer the contents (apps, songs)"  Transfer them from where to where?
    " Do I transfer this to the other account?"
    You cannot.
    " Do I download them to iTunes, and if so, under which account would be downloading them to?"
    Download them to itunes from where?  and you cannot download them to another account.  They will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
    "  I have heard you can burn songs onto a disc.  Can I also do this for apps? "
    You can back them up to a cd and transfer them between computers.
    What are you trying to accomplish?

  • Is there a way to PERMANENTLY DELETE purchased songs from your iTunes/iTunes account

    Hi
    I have 11 purchased songs in my iTunes library. Since iOS7 i have not been able to remove these songs from my 3rd party music player.
    I would like to permanently remove these songs from my iTunes account, my iTunes, my iPhone. I don't want to see these songs appear on any of my devices ever again.
    Is there a way to remove these purchases permanently so they are no longer available/associated with my account?
    Please! Any help is appreciated, this is seriously annoying.

    Turning off iCloud will not accomplish anything, unless you simply wish to sign out your AppleID for itunes adn app store. Then of course, you would not be able to purchase apps or other content.
    Any itunes or App store purchases can be set to hidden, as ckuan instructs. These would not show up on your device. But no, there is not way to completely delete content purchases.
    You can offer Apple feedback here, if you wish: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • Use and update purchased apps from one iTunes store account to another?

    I have two iTunes Store Accounts (Apple ID's) with the vast majority of purchases, music and apps, made on one account, but I've created a second account and wish to use it to sync with my iPhone.
    Will I be able to continue to use and update the apps on my iPhone purchased with the first account?
    Thanks.

    This sounds like the kinda thing Apple support might be able to help with. It's possible they might be able to merge the 2 accounts or switch user names around or something.
    Apps and Protected music files are locked to one account. I don't think there is any way you(personaly) can transfer and/or updated them on a different account.

  • Transfer purchased apps from my wife's account to mine

    Recently, my wife and I decided that we would sell her iPad to one of our kids. I have an iPad2 and would like to know if I can transfer her apps (purchased under her own ID) to my iPad.

    If you log into the App Store on your iPad using her account, you should be able to download her purchased apps directly.

  • Purchased music from multiple itunes accounts on the same computer

    I mistakenly opened up two itune accounts and have purchased music using both accounts. The problem is that itunes won't let me download my purchased music from one of the accounts to my ipod. It will download all of the music from account "a" but none from account "b". Help please.

    Hey chawk32,
    Just play the purchased content from account B in iTunes. That should make a authorization dialog box pop up. After authorizing the computer iTunes can transfer that data to the iPod.
    You can also click store inside iTunes then authorize computer.

  • How do I stream purchased movies to my Macbook Pro if I've already downloaded them and moved the source files to an external desktop hard drive and I'm away from home?

    I recently added a number of movies to my iTunes library by redeeming digital copeis that came with Blu-rays. Due to limted disc space on my MacBook Pro, and for safe keeping, once I downloaded the movies, I moved the source files to an external desktop hard drive. When I'm home and I'm able to access that external HD via my home network, I'm able to watch the movies without an issue. However, if I'm away from home and I want to watch them, I'm not sure how to do that. I thought I could "stream" purchased movies from within iTunes  - even after downloading them - using "iTunes in the Cloud" but can't figure out how to do that, or it simply isn't possible.
    What are my options?

    I understand that I can't play my downloaded movies when my external HDD is not connected becuase iTunes is looking for the downloaded files. This is not the issue. The issue is that because my HDD is not connected (as in when I'm away from home) I'd like to be able to stream the movies via the cloud.
    If I hadn't downloaded the movies when I redeemed my codes, would I have been able to keep the movies online via Apple iCloud and watched them anytime by streaming them or must the movies be downloaded in order to be viewed on my MacBook?  I read that Apple allows movies purchased (or redeemed) via iTunes to be stored in the cloud via Apple iCloud so that they can be viewed any time, on any device.  IF this is the case, how does it work? From what I can see, it looks like movies can only be "streamed" from the cloud when useing Apple TV; on my iPhone and MacBook Pro, it looks like they need to be downloaded in order to be viewed.
    Can someone clarify this for me?
    Also - Michael - when you said that If I've already downloaded the film but I'm away from my external HDD I should "Delete the entry from the iTunes library so iTunes only sees the iTunes in the Cloud version", what exactly would this mean? Would this mean that I could then stream the movie from the cloud or would I have to re-download it to my Mac's internal HDD in order to watch it?
    Many thanks!

    Well, unless you can get this info, all you'll own is a paperweight. So, return the phone & get your money back. There is no other solution.
    Apple can't/won't help you with this.
    Good luck.

  • I purchased mountain lion from a friend account

    You will still be able to recieve updates I would think, but if you need to reinstall you may well have to use your friends Apple ID to sign in again. Hopefully your friend isn't using the same copy of Mountain Lion as well, or therein starts the complications, as you should have a copy each. A ML download can be used on as many computers as YOU own, but you cannot share it around with others.
