TS2972 Using more than one Apple TV on same wireless network

Sorry if this is answered elsewhere, but I have an Apple TV for the main home TV, and now want to add another Apple TV for elsewhere in my house.
Can I have two or more Apple TVs using home sharing on the same home wireless network? I'm assuming that I can, but don't want to buy another Apple TV and have to return it. Thanks. RB

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you can have more than one, but be aware this will place more demand on your network, generally speaking this shouldn't be a problem for 2 Apple TV's on a reasonable network, but if your network is flakey or you add many more Apple TV's, it may become a problem.
We have 7 and have installed additional base stations for the network to cope with the bandwidth required.

  • Can I use more than one Apple ID on one device

    I have seen some answers to this type of question before but not that since the ios 6 so will ask again. My household shares an Apple ID and it has worked great as we have added devices and purchased apps.  My problem now is this, we have hit a point where I have work things on my iPad and iPhone that I really don't need to be shared with the whole family but it isn't a major deal or security risk. I don't want to give up the advantages of having the household ID.  Is there an easy way to have another ID on my iPad and switch between them without having major complications?  I am for the most part a techie so not afraid of these kind of things but I can't afford to lose everything right now and take the time to set it all back up so getting advice here.  Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

    You can use more than one apple id, but keep in mind that when apps need updating that you'll will need to sign in with correct credentials to update them.
    Share an apple id for the itunes and app stores, but keep your own for icloud, facetime and messages.

  • Can I use more than one Apple ID for an Apple TV?

    I wanted to use more than one Apple ID account on my Apple TV, is that possible?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only use one ID for purchasing from the Apple TV, but you can stream content from multiple libraries even though they have different ID's

  • Can u use more than one apple account on your device and itunes

    Can u use more than one apple account on your device and itunes

    Yes, but you have to logout of one, and login to the other.
    If it is an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch and you buy apps on different accounts, when it comes time to update an app, you have to specify the password for the account used to acquirer the app. You change an iOS account via Settings -> Store -> Apple ID (tap on it), and start by logging out and then you can enter the other Id
    So it is possible, but it can also be a pain.

    Can I use more than one Apple account on Apple TV ?

    Welcome to the Apple Community Odjebi.
    Yes just sign in where you signed in for the first account, you can only use one at once and you'll need to switch in the same place you signed in.

    Dear Premiere Pro programmers,
    Could you please create a way to use more than one transition in the same time between two video clips without exporting to media, or creating new sequence, or using another layer (adjustment or transparent)?

  • Use more than one apple I'd?

    If I have more than one apple I'd can I use them in home sharing at the same time

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can use multiple libraries with different iTunes accounts (Apple ID's) with homesharing, but when it comes to homesharing settings, you must use the same ID on each device.

  • Using more than one Apple TV?

    Does anyone have experience with multiple Apple TVs in one location? There's documentation on multiple computers with one Apple TV, but how about sync'ing or streaming from one computer to multiple Apple TVs? For instance, one computer with a big hard drive to store the media and serve it to a TV in the Living Room, one in the Bedroom, and one in the Den/Study?

    Yes. I've been doing this. We have a family HP laptop with 750 GB of storage that is our library. One TV in the Den and one in the Family Room. Both have AppleTV's. I've had no problem simultaneously streaming to each AppleTV from the library computer. They both are synced to that PC as well ... mainly for photos. I originally was using my existing wireless-g network and this worked well. I recently put in a couple of Airport extreme units and they work great in wireless-n but I'm not sure it was really necessary ... I just wanted the AppleTVs to be able to stream and sync at their max possible speeds to minimize the possibility of slowing down of our network. The Airport Extreme's may have been overkill but they work really well ... easy to setup and we've now got a very strong wireless signal all over the house. Are you considering multiple AppleTV's?
    A nice benefit of multiple AppleTVS is that you always have a backup remote control in case the kids (or maybe I)get absent minded.

  • Help with more than one apple id on same computer

    When my husband tries to do anything in his itunes library he gets the following error message,
    "This computer is already associated with an apple id  You can download past purchases on this computer with just one apple id every 90 days.  This computer can be used with a different Apple id in 11 days"
    I HAS been approx 3 months (90 days) since we purchased a new computer-but we have always had different itunes libraries.  HELP!!

    Only one account can be signed in at a time (via Settings > Store), and if you turn on automatic downloads and/or download past purchases from an account then you risk tying the iPad to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

  • Does using more than one apple tv affect network connection

    My AppleTV has upgraded.
    Since then the network connection has been very fragile 
    I have restarted the apple tv, the tv, and all the devices.
    I have also restarted the modem.
    Nothing is working.
    I have two apple tvs; so i am now wondering whether having both of them working might affect the network connection. 
    Or is there any other reason for such a fragile connection?  and what can be done to get a more stable connection?

    Yes. I've been doing this. We have a family HP laptop with 750 GB of storage that is our library. One TV in the Den and one in the Family Room. Both have AppleTV's. I've had no problem simultaneously streaming to each AppleTV from the library computer. They both are synced to that PC as well ... mainly for photos.

  • HT5622 Can you use more than one apple ID on the same computer? I can't sign in and out and sync my iPod because my library isn't on there.

    My sister has an iTunes account on our main computer, and I have one on our laptop.  I want to be able to sync my iPod with the main computer, but I can't because my library is on the laptop.  Is there any way to sync my iPod with my library on the computer?

    Yes
    http://www.imore.com/how-use-multiple-apple-ids-one-computer-and-itunes
    However you can only sync all media from one iTunes library/computer. However, one can sync music and videos with different computers/libraries if you have iTunes setup to manually sync. See that method included here:

  • Can you use more than one apple id on apple tv?

    My apple id is the one that is being used for our apple tv. My boyfriend would like to play his itunes library through the device as well. Is this possible?

    You can connect to any iTunes library on the same network.
    just make sure that your boyfriend uses your ID to set up homesharing on his computer.

  • Can I use More than one Apple ID on an iMac?

    I have aniMac with 2 users and I would like each to have a seperate Apple ID to use with iCloud, iTunes etc.  So far I have not been able to do this.  Any thoughts?

    There is something wrong with that account. You might try resetting permissions on that account.
    Boot into Recovery HD by holding down cmd-R on restart.
    When it boots, select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
    Type resetpassword (don't worry, you won't be changing the password)
    Select the Hard disk (Macintosh HD if you haven't changed it).
    Select the account with the problem.
    At the bottom of the window, click the button to reset home folder permissions and ACLs.
    Restart, then give it a try again.
