Sync Multiple Apple TV's with one computer

I recently purchased 2 apple TVs and synched the first one with itunes running on my PC. I installed the 2nd unit, and it appears in iTunes as streaming only. What can i do? i want to load up the hard drive with content, i don't want to stream b/c it requires iTunes and the PC to be up and running.
Is there a way for multiple Apple TVs to sync with a single computer?

Today I was able to see both Apple TV's in itunes at the same time
From the second AppleTV, i made sure I selected Connect to iTunes from Settings->Computer. It presented me with an access code. From iTunes I entered the access code, and it came alive!! I was able to select which tv shows it would sync with, and then it started syncing. the entire time my primary AppleTV was being used in the other room. So iTunes was able to see both at the same time.

    how do you have multiple apple id's with one itunes

    I have multiple IDs and use the single computer sharing itunes. By 'sharing' I mean we open the pc, open itunes and log in with our individual ID as required.
    While Im logged in I plug in  my device. I transfer my purchases from my device as per the file menu (not the check for auto downloads). I move them as required to whichever playlist I like.
    Then when my son wants to use itunes or update his device, he logs in, plugs in his device, transfers purchases from his device, puts whatever music he wants into his playlist and/or drags direct to the device regardless of who purchased it and then syncs.
    Im not sure how it works associating the pc with only one ID or all that other business- I know I don't fiddle with any of that.

  • Multiple Apple TV driven by one computer via WiFi

    Is it possible to drive multiple apple TVs from the one computer for multiple screen presentations such as powerpoint presentations?.

    How about streaming different content to each ATV ? Can you playback Music on the One ATV and at same time play a movie on a other? Can you also start the streaming from the iTunes library on the mac (more than one title simultanously) or only start the different titles on each ATV?
    Each "source" can only play one thing at a time, but you can have multiple sources on the same network simultaneously, going to different ATVs. For example, you can stream a movie from your iTunes library to one ATV, and at the same time stream music from your iPhone to another ATV. What you can't do is stream a movie and music from a single source (e.g. iTunes) +at the same time+.

  • HT202213 How do I manage multiple Apple ID accounts to one computer?

    My husband & I travel a lot and both have our own Itune accounts & apple ID's, Ipads & Iphones but share one MAC when we are home.
    We no longer seem able to download all our various purchases to the one computer. Any idea how we bypass the message that keeps coming up?
    Something to do with a 90 day restriction?

    This is the confusing difference between "authorization" and "association". 
    In order to play content on a computer, you need to "authorize" the AppleID used to buy the content.  This can be done for many AppleIDs on one computer.
    However, in order to *redownload* content on a computer, including
      - redownloading previous purchases
      - autodownloading purchases made on another device
    - running iTunes Match
    you have to "associate" the computer to that AppleID, and this can only be done for one AppleID *per computer* (NOT per user account).  This user can only change every 90 days.
    There is no workaround for this.  They'll reset the counter for a one time error (like when my son locked me out of Match by redownloading a TV show), but if you want content from more than one user, you'll have to copy it there by some other means.
    Oh yeah, be sure to write Apple about what a stupid rule this is.

  • Using Multiple Apple TV's with One Account

    I am thinking of installing multiple Apple TV's in my home so we can rent/buy movies in different rooms. Is their any limitation of how many can be logged in at one time? Can I be downloading to multiple ATV's at the same time using the same account?

    You can connect up to 5 tv's to your itunes library. Yes they can download content from the itunes store at the same time, playback the same or different content at the same time or a mixture of each. You may find though that this can put a strain on some networks and performance may vary.
    I have 5, I can't say for sure I've ever had five playing movies together, certainly had 3 and probably 4 and for me they have worked well, albeit my network is a little more than what most people would want to set up.

  • Multiple Apple ID's on one computer - it says we have to wait 90 days to add the 2nd one?

    I deauthorized our computer using my applie ID - I did not know it would deauthorize my husbands account as well.
    I reauthorized it using my AppleID.  Now my husband cannot authorize his account until 90 days go by.  We share the computer, is there a way around this?
    He is the one with the itunes match on his account & most of the music.  Now he cannot access it for 90 days?  Is that right?
    I will forfeit my account on this computer if we can put his on.

    A computer, as far as I know, can't have more than one iTunes library at a time.  I could be wrong, since you seemingly did so previously? Either way, I'd say you will need to deauthorize your account and authorize his.  If you still have trouble, then you will need to contact Apple support to reset the account or you might be better to just wait and contect them right away, get the "rules" of your situation and then see how they can help.
    Oh, I think actually I found what might be your problem, yes you will need to contact Apple directly.  The problem is a legal issue due to the addition of iCloud.  So, it seems your computer accessing both accounts was a sort of grandfather glitch that you "fixed" when you deauthorized your account.  Now, again due to legal reasons related to iCloud, you cannot authorize your husband's computer because otherwise what's stopping you from downloading all of your music, then downloading all of his music, then get a few friends together and download all of their music.  Sure, you could copy the files over manually and add them (and that may be what you have to do for the next 90 days) but they can't allow it to be so easy as just downloading multiple accounts to your computer(s).

  • HT204053 Can I have multiple apple ids associated with one itunes acct?

    When using iCloud with multiple devices (my kids phones, computers and mine), syncing causing all sorts of problems like losing contacts & info between devices. Is there any way to create an apple id for each person but still use the same iTunes account?

    yes you can still sync all the devices on itunes using one master itunes/appleID account.
    Music:
    If you want to select specific playlists for your kids, DON'T enable iTunes Match on their devices, otherwise they will get ALL the playlists on their devices (learned that the hard way)
    If you have wi-fi synced enabled that should still work.
    Apps:
    I manually select which apps they get on their devices using itunes. It only changes when they re-sync.
    Don't enable AUTO downloads on their devices for Apps or Music purchases.
    Since I also have young kids using these devices:
    I have restrictions setup on their devices. I don't allow them to install/delete apps, nor do I allow them to make any account changes on their devices. This way their devices stay in order and get backed up to icloud. I can easily restore their devices if I needed too.
    Once in a while I will disable the restrictions so I can update all their apps.
    Hope this helps!

  • Can you have 2 apple tvs working with one computer - both active at the same time?

    Can 2 Apple TVs - Generation 3 - work off the same computer?
    I can't seem to get the 2nd Apple TV to find the network yet I have full signal and the Network name is correct.
    Can they work at the same time using different content?

    Hi SwedelostinAmerica,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    The iPhone can maintain multiple pairing records, but it can only connect to one headset or hands-free device at a time. However, in your situation there may be a solution. You can connect the iPhone via Bluetooth for calls and use the 3.5mm jack on your iPhone and car radio to connect for music.
    The following article explains Bluetooth pairing and usage. Please use it as a reference.

  • Multiple Apple ID's on one Computer

    Hi
    I have my iPad linked with my iTunes account on the family computer.  I have now bought my son an iPad and he has his own Apple ID. When I try and connect his iPad with the family computer iTunes tries to wipe his iPad and link it to my Apple ID. How can I get around this and use the family computer with a couple of different Apple ID's. It seems insane that I'd need a computer for each Apple ID in the family.
    Many thanks

    The easiest way is for each user to have their own iTunes library in their own Windows user account on that computer.
    To create a new user account:  Start > Control Panel > Add or remove user accounts.  (That is the Windows 7 version; it may look slightly different in another version of Windows.

  • 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 do I run two Apple IDs with one computer and sync music content?

    I have a single PC which I have added all of the music to one my log in. My wife and I have Iphones and I want to run separate accounts for itunes, but sync music content from the single source to both phones. Whenever I have tried to do this in the past, it starts to sync all app to both phones. I tried to therefore have separate log ins on the pc itself, but when I have tried this, the music content does not update on my wifes itunes library, after I have added music to mine (ie imported a CD), even though I have linked my wife's music library for itunes purposes to my music folder (hopefully that makes sense!!). Can anyone help as this is driving me mad, otherwise I will just have to run from my account and delete all of my wifes apps etc whenever I sync my phone, and vice versa.
    Thanks!!!

  • Syncing multiple iPones with one computer

    What is the easiest way to sync 11 iphones with one computer? At work im in charge of 11 iPhones and need to manage them from one computer. Each user has there own apple ID and different apps so on and so forth. I would like to be able to update all the phones without getting all there stuff mixed up or losing there data.

    Well, you're gonna have to log into each user's account in itunes, then sync their phone, log out, log the next user in, sync, etc.
    Make sure you DO NOT SYNC CONTACTS, CALENDARS or stuff like that or you will screw things up!
