Syncing multiple Apple TVs on one account

Hey All!
I am considering getting two more Apple TVs for my house; one for the living room and one for my parents room. I currently have an iPad, an iPod, an Apple TV, and one computer. Can this be done?
Also I will be getting an iPhone in July.
Thanks!
Christina Webb

Multiple apple dropboxes for one account

Can you have multiple apple dropbox accounts in the public folder for one user account? EX: instructor account and 3 different public dropboxes for 3 different users on the same instructor account? Using mountain lion and the users are not mac (computer) experts they are just "users"

You don't need to create two separate libraries.
If you want to sync different content onto each device, select the device in iTunes, select the tabs across the top and sync what you want.
To make it easier, create different playlists for each device and sync only those playlists.

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 ?

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 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?

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.

Two or more apple TVs to one account?

Is it possible to have two or more Apple TVs in the same household that are tied to one account? I'm assuming if that is true, then the content linked to my account should be shared between both Apple TVs as well. Correct?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi,
this should not be a problem.

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

Can you tie multiple Apple IDs to one account?

I have four iPhones connected (mine, wife, son, daughter) to my one Apple ID. I did this primarily so we can have apps on several phones without paying 4x. It works fine like that but after a recent warrant visit to the Apple Store, the tech told me it can create performance issues. Any truth to that? Is there any benefit to not having one Apple ID for all phones?
Thanks,
Scott

Never mind; I believe I found my answer - in a nutshell, everyone needs their own apple accounts and ids.
Now, is there any way to delete a previously asked question such as this?

Can there be multiple apple ids on one account?

I want to share my iTunes account with my daughter so that she can download and update apps on her iphone, but I don't like that she needs to use my apple id and password, which could give her access to my email. She doesn't realize this yet, but it's only a matter of time. Is there any way to give her her own apple id, connected to my account?

How do i set up multiple apple iPhones with one account?

Iphones are merging contact info and text messages. sharing icloud.

If you do not want to share contacts, calendars and email, then you need to create unique iCloud accounts for each device. If you use the same iCloud account for all, then they inevitably end up sharing the same information.
As far as iMessages go, again, if you use one AppleID for all devices, then they all share a single iMessage account. You can get separate AppleIDs for each and create separate iMessage and iCloud accounts for each, and then each device has complete privacy and separate information.
You can have as many AppleIDs as you wish (none need have any payment information associated with them, and none need be used for iTunes or App store purchases).

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.

One iTunes, multiple apple tvs, how do you set it up

Having trouble setting up multiple apple tvs one one itune account

Do the sync setup for each ATV from the Computers section of its settings menu and give each one a different device name in iTunes.

Can I sync 2 apple tvs on different networks with same itunes account?

I read that you can sync up to 5 tv's with the same itunes library, but do all tv's need to be on the same network?
I've been able to successfully sync both apple tvs from my itunes account that's on my laptop. The first one works fine but the 2nd one keeps restarting itself while playing.
I'm not sure if it's me or the apple tv.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Think I have it now. 2 tv's in different locations and on different networks, laptop connected to tv 1 over network 1 works fine, no go with tv 2 with laptop connected over network 2.
Yes this could be an tv fault, you do however have the opportunity to check this. Swap over the 2 tv's if the problem moves with the tv it could be the tv, if it stays with the same network it could be the network.
I'm not so sure it makes any difference but I assume you have named the two tv's differently in itunes.
