Two Apple TVs in the same house

Hi gang,
First post. I bought the ATV when it was a 40 gb and then bought the second when it went to 160gb. Can I use both on two different tvs, one upstairs and one downstairs? My network reaches all of the house. Now with the new upgrade, I want to have an ATV in my theatre room upstairs, as well as the unit I have downstairs. Any help is appretiatted.

Yes you can do just that. Just make sure you give them different names.

Can I setup two Apple TVs on two separate tvs in the same house?

I have one Apple TV set up and received a second for Christmas. Can I use the second on another tv without any issues?

Welcome to the Apple Community Just Nerdy Enough.
Yes (we have 5).

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?

Can I have a Face Time conversation between two Apple devices using the same Apple ID?

Can I have a Face Time conversation between two Apple devices using the same Apple ID?

Yes, you can, but the two devices can't have the same e mail address associated with both. Each, device needs its own unique e mail ADR. In your case, the iPod can call your iPhone if you use the phone number, but the iPhone can not call your iPod because it must use the e mail address, and if the email address is the same on both, the iPhone will think it's calling itself, so the call will not go through.

Using 2 Apple TVs on the same network

Is it possible to use 2 Apple TV units, each connected to its own HDMI equipped television, but each utilizing the same Wi-Fi network?

You can use 2 Apple TVs on the same network independently. I currently have such a setup.
My question then comes up: How do you isolate AirPlay menus (or "forget" the other Apple TV) so that you don't inadvertently start streaming something to the other Apple TV instead of to the one you want, or vice versa, seeing a random YouTube or photo stream in the middle of your movie.
Basically, I live on a different floor with someone on the same wifi network as me. We can't have separate wi-fi networks. We can see each other's Apple TV in the AirPlay menu and it's causing all sorts of problems with accidental interruptions.

Apple TVs playing the same play list simultaneously

I have two Apple TVs in seperate rooms.Is it possible to play the exact same play list (video or music) simultaneously on both Apple TVs since the content is streamed from the same main I-Tunes library?
It would be a great feature in particular for parties.

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
If you use itunes and send output to the tv's as external speakers then yes you can do this, but of course this will only work with audio.
It is possible to stream the same tunes/movies etc from two or more tv's at the same time, but you should be aware that they will be two (or more) separate streams and as such I doubt you would be able to manage to do this and keep the streams in sync with each other.

ITunes Match - Two Apple IDs but the Same Person

So before the days of iCloud, I originally used my AOL email as my Apple ID. Then when I signed up for iCloud, I started using my .Mac email as my new Apple ID. Today, I just signed up for iTunes Match using my .Mac Apple ID. Somehow throughout this process my iPhone stayed under my AOL Apple ID. Now my phone is telling me I have to wait 90 days before the "new" Apple ID takes affect and I will then be able to use Match. I have just spent $25 for something I can't even use for 90 days?!?! Really?
As you can imagine, I'm very frustrated because I know this is a simple mistake. I'm worried I just spent $25 for a full year and the first 3 months of that year will go to waste. Can anyone help me? A number I can call? Anything? I'm the same person, paying for music and apps with the same bank account! My Apple IDs just got mixed up.
Thanks!

Thanks for the link, but no luck.
They told me that there is absolutely no way to waive the 90 day waiting period regardless if am the same person or not. The only reason I have a new Apple ID was because I assumed I had to make a new Apple ID when I signed up for iCloud. At the end of day, it was my fault but I wish I knew I never had to make a new Apple ID. I would have just stayed with my “old” AOL Apple ID.
With that said, I still think it is ridiculous they can’t waive the 90 day waiting period. I’m the same person! I just have two Apple IDs, and the only reason I have two Apple IDs to begin with was because I felt mislead by Apple’s iCloud. It’s not like I’m trying to share my music illegally with my friends or another person. Its all the same money coming from the same person...me!
Being a die-hard Apple consumer for almost 10 years and convincing my entire family to switch to Mac, today I feel very disappointed in Apple.

Can I use two apple TV on the same wifi system?

Can I use twoo apple tv on the same wifi system??

Winston, what sort of set up do you have for 10 apple tvs? - I currently have 2 and cannot stream different movies successfully at the same time to both of them from a single macbook pro. I am looking at upgrading to a system with a macbook mini or server streaming different content to 3-5 apple tvs. Currently all streaming is on the same channel and via 2 airport extremes and a new express. Still finding the system very very slow.

Somehow created two apple ids on the same email

Hi there,
I recently gave my other half my old iPad, however she went to sign into her apple id/ iCloud account and in the process somehow changed my iCloud settings such as my password.
I tried signing in today and was prompted to enter the new password, which I had, however it seems to have created a brand new apple id, using the same email address as before. I'm unable to access my app purchases and the extra space I bought on the iCloud.
Some (metaphorical) wires seemed to have been crossed somewhere, I was just wondering if someone could help me out with this.

UPDATE:
I've found the email address my other half has changed my apple id to. However when I try to access the icloud it asks me to set it up. All the files I had such as photos and contacts appear to have disappeared, so has the extra storage.
I've spoken to someone at Apple and they said they can still seem the extra content and all the files, however I'm still unable to sign into the account with the amended email address.

yes there can be two different accounts authorized. Sign into your account and authorize your purchases. You will however use the same music library.

Can two apple IDs share the same library?

Mac newbie here needs some advice...
I just got a new iMac and have created separate accounts for my husband and me on it. We used to share an apple ID for music, but now I'd like for us to have our own apple IDs especially with the iCloud capabilities I don't want my iPhone stuff going to his Mac account, etc. Problem is that all his music is in my library and he doesn't want to have to re-buy it again. So I figured out that I can share my music library with his account on the iMac, and I have him signed in to iTunes with his separate Apple ID... good so far... but what's going to happen when he buys something? Will it go into my library (as some sort of combined one), or into a separate one?
The other issue I encountered is that when I went to enable automatic synchronization across devices for him, I got a message saying that it was already logged in with another apple ID (I'm assuming it was referring to mine?). That's not good.
I want us both to have totally separate IDs etc, especially for iCloud backups etc, but I wanted to be able to share music libraries. Is that possible? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!

If you want to share a single AppleID with a single iTunes Library, then simply sync both devices to that iTunes library using the same user account.
If you want to sync two AppleIDs to one iTunes library, in iTunes on the computer, login and authorize each AppleID, then sync the devices to that common iTunes library in the same user account.
You do not do anything on the device being sync'd itself - it all has to do with how iTunes that you are syncing to is set up and what AppleIDs are authorized there. You can sync multiple devices to iTunes, just be sure that each device gets a unique device name in the iTunes sidebar.
To then use unique AppleIDs for iCloud and iMessage on a iOS device, first, make an iCloud account with the AppleID you want to use (go to http://www.iCloud.com), then set up that iCloud account on the device with that ID and password. In iMessage, just log out with whatever AppleID you are using now, log in with the new AppleID and it will reauthorize, now linking that device with the new iMessage account just created with that AppleID (your iMessage primary account ID is always the AppleID used to initially create and verify the iMessage account).

HT202213 can two apple ids use the same itunes account?

I'm pretty new to apple products and have an itunes question. My husband and I just bought iPhones and have separate apple id's. We will also using an iPod. Is it possible to use itunes with both id's? Is there any way to share the files between both of us?

Two Apple ID with the same email address.

Hello,
I have 2 Apple ID's using the same email address.
When I sign in with my Apple ID in the Apple Support Communities web he request me to "Choose your Apple Support Communities username.", So I write a user name and click continue - and this error message is shown: "account utilizing this email address already exists. Only one account per email address is allowed on Apple Support Communities."
I know which Apple ID user using this email address but I can't change to different email address (this option in "Edit Profile" is impossible).
What I can do?!

This advice is not proper for the issue at hand.
Your advise lets you reset the Apple ID not verify your current ID.
In either case the recommended link does not work at this time - nor gives any response as to why you do not recieve the email they promise!!
