Two Apple TVs. One going, the other not. Why?

I have 2 Apple TVs. One 720 the other 1080. The 720 is working fine and will operate at either TV.
The 1080 will not work at either TV.
I go to set it up and I get all the screens including passwords, itunes account etc, but cannot get on to my network.
The DNS.Router, Password etc settings are identical on both Apple TVs.
I tried all avenues using my wi fi connected to my Apple TVs, to no avail.
Trouble shooting from Apple and from Forums I have followed all the advice.
Currently I am downloading as per instructions from my Mac Book Pro via micro USB.
It has been running for two hours or more, still shows another 13 hours to run. BTW I do have ADSL 2 Broadband which is usually quite fast for anything else to download.
Several times I have done this as after several hours it pops up the message "Cannot Contact Server at this time".
So I start again.
Also going through the check list from the iTunes Help on the tool bar, I am getting a message "Take to Apple for Service".
My guess is that the Apple TV is faulty and needs to be either replaced or serviced.
Alhough I do not know how this could be done as it seems to be a solid "puck" like device and completly sealed.
My 720 Apple TV has been performing without fault since new, I can upgrade my iTunes each time a new one comes out (the latest one is installed) or a new IOS from Apple is installed (currently IOS 10.8.2 Mountin Lion).
Apple TV is a great add on for my computer and home entertainment, but I am sick of wasting my time trying to work through this glitch...

Thanks for the response - I'm on Mac OS 10.4.11 I did rename my Apple TVs - so the names are different.
Also, sometimes my second Apple TV isn't showing on my iTunes either. This is very frustrating!
I'm also on a dual 2.3 GHZ PowerPC G5 (not an intel version). iTunes software version 7.6.2 (9)

Why am I getting an error when I place two OAM files one after the other in different pages?

Why am I getting an error when I place two OAM files one after the other in different pages? They do not load or play correctly. They are both configured to play automatically with a .125 second delay and both have a white rectangle "poster" over for a hidden effect.

Thanks for the idea, Scott! I initially tried your idea, but my OAM files were still not loading correctly. I tried other combinations of OAM files, and it seems to work fine.
Back to my original OAM files: I made sure that my elements in my Edge Animate project had different names. I originally copied parts of some elements from one to another, and I think it was confusing to DPS to read it.

Booklet with pages one above the other, not next to each other

I have sheets of paper that is 13cm wide and 20cm tall. It is perforated in the middle.
When I go to File | Booklet in InDesign CS4 I setup a booklet which tries to print 2 pages next to each other but of course these it not enough room.
What I need to do is have the two pages be one above the other to fit on the sheet of paper. But I am unable to find a way to do that.
Any hints?
Thanks!

in the print dialog you can change the parameters
for output in the 'setup' section--see screenshot--width, height, orientation, page position
see this linked page:

Stranger than fiction - Two application folders, one within the other

I have two application folders, one inside the other.
Can I just delete the one inside the other one of my application folders? I've never seen Tiger do this. I didn't do it so it had to be Tiger software. All the same applications are in both.
Thanks.

First, I'd boot from the Install CD/DVD then after you choose your language, a Menubar will show up top, find Disk Utility and run it from there to verify/Repair the HD.
Might even want to Right Click on it and Archive before trashing, but with duplicate APPs in there... this might be a sign of real trouble on the horizon.
Be absolutely certain to fix the Disk problem ASAP, I don't think there really are two of everything, just one with 2 lists or pointers !

Two Apple Tvs - one iTunes account

I bought two Apple TVs - and want to have them sync to one iTunes account. After I bought the second Apple TV and synced it to my iTunes account, my iTunes account doesn't recognize the first Apple TV. I can ping it - so it's on the network. I've gone to Computers and have tried to reconnect to a shared iTunes account / even connect back to the iTunes account. When I'm given a code, there's no place for me to put the code into iTunes. The device doesn't show under Devices (just my most recent Apple TV)
Help - I need to sync to both - it's for my 3 1/2 year old son

Thanks for the response - I'm on Mac OS 10.4.11 I did rename my Apple TVs - so the names are different.

We have an airport extreme wifi in house, but also want to set up a hardwired ethernet connection for gaming and streaming of netflix. The computer only sees one or the other not both at same time.

We have a new iMac 2.9ghz and are running an airport extreme set up in house with several express entenders. The problem is that our son is streaming netflix and doing on line gaming and hogging all the band width. Time Warner tech suggested a hard wired ethernet connection to computer base sattion next to computer so that it can have direct conenction to internet. After much fishing of wire the connection worked great, but the wifi connection for the house is gone. I unplugged the ethernet connection and everything is fine. I read the articles about adjusting network preferences, but the issue seems to be in the extreme not in the computer. the connection goes from cable modem to extreme, from extreme to house and to hard wired conenction to other computer. Do we need a splitter before the extreme?

No. Something else is going on.
Your son may be hogging all the bandwidth but your wireless network should never simply disappear. Moreover, if your son isn't doing anything the available bandwidth for other devices should remain unaffected.
I suspect that something is miswired, and from what you describe I suspect that link is between the Extreme and the "other computer".
The way to accomplish what you propose is
Modem > Ethernet cable to Extreme's WAN port
Extreme's LAN ports > wired Ethernet devices.
There should be nothing but an Ethernet cable linking an Extreme LAN port and any other wired device. If you run out of available LAN ports on the Extreme, you need to by an "Ethernet switch" - they are not expensive, but don't call it a "splitter" or you will only confuse yourself. The switch would be connected to one of the Extreme's LAN ports, and you would connect additional devices to it. You can also use one of your Expresses for that purpose, assuming it is the current generation model with two Ethernet ports.

Two apple TVs, one Mac account

I have two ATVs in two separate houses but one mac account. if i buy content on one ATV, i do not seem to be able to see it on the other. I am guessing this is not allowed which is annoying but typical. However, if i buy on ATV - can i see that same content on my laptop (i seem to be able) and iphone (does not seem to be there)??
What are the rules? Or have i made an error?
for reference, the content i bought is a TV series so i keep getting the updates on my itunes account but not the ATV nor iphone (which connects to the laptop).

Niel, thanks for your reply. i cannot get your thread to open, i will try again later. I see it as http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1860 so let me know if not.
I have sync'd the ATV though I think (will confirm when i can load that page). I get the content I bought on my itunes account. So, I bought/ordered the TV show on ATV and it automatically downloads on my itunes account (i have actually stopped that now as i would prefer to get it on the ATV if i must choose). Once on my itunes on my PC i can see it on my sync'd iPhone but not on the ATV.
I would have thought that (ideally) it just comes up in "my tv shows" but, if necessary, i would have to buy it again and when i tried, it just gives me the message like on "applications" that says "you have already bought this, do you want to download it again". However, it does not, i need to buy it again.
I understand copyright issues but i would have thought that, as a minimum, i should be able to share purchased content like music, across five different machines.
Maybe this is will all be resolved once i can load that link you gave me - will keep trying.
thanks, jon.

2 nanos, one recognized, the other not

My wife's nano is recognized by the PC without any problems, mine (identical one) not any more (since about three days, previously without problems).
I have tried just about everything recommended here, including at least 5 re-installations of itunes just tonight...:-(

I'm using two "DOMAIN" files (I believe). In which, I use iWebsites to toggle back and forth. And I am publishing to my .Mac account.
Further problems I've been having with the "more problematic" of the two sites are:
• Not allowing me to save the iWeb project when quitting.
• Unexpectant quitting while publishing. It's intermittent, but seems to be happening more frequently.
• And continual slowing publish times. Anywhere from 10-30 minutes for publishing a few updates to the site.
I'm really starting to wonder if I'm maxxing out iWeb. Again this particular "problematic" site has 180+ blog entries, approx. 1,800+ comments, and a "package" file size of 36.2 megs.
My other site has much more content, a fraction of the traffic, and fewer blog entries.
The other difference between the two sites/projects is one was made using a first generation template and the other (problematic) is based off one of the newer templates.
Could it be that my Powerbook G4 is getting to "old" and the processor is struggling to manage my iWeb project?
Here are the two sites (if that helps):
"Problematic" site: http://www.whattheduck.net/
The other site that isn't having problems: http://www.aaronandpatty.com/
Thanks again.

Two Apple TVs, One Netflix Account

My friend and I share a Netflix account. I've been waiting to buy myself a newer Apple TV, and now I'm considering getting my friend one for the holidays.
My questions is: can we both have our units linked to the same account? Does it work like that? ANyone have any ideas about this?

Yes, this will be changing. Go and look at Netflix's 2010 financial report- the talk about this exact thing. Your 7.99 account is for one stream period. They will be looking at addon's to increase streams. The whole idea is that they want to move from a "family" account to a "single user" account. Of course, that just screams money grab. For now- it seems we are lucky- but get ready for something down the road where you need to pay an additional $2 or something for extra streams. I personally think that Apple may have had a hand in avoiding this for ATV users though- I can stream from both my ATV2s at the same time.

TS2755 I used to get iMessages on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 now it goes to one or the other, not both. Icloud is not working for this and iMessage texting doesn't work I need to send it as a regular text. How do I fix this issue.

Icloud doesn't work between my iPad 2 and iPhone 4. And when I try to iMessage from my iphone 4 it doesn't send. I need to send it as a regular text message. Any ideas why they won't sync and iMessage won't send?

I have two apple Ids, one for the iTunes Store and one of iCloud.

I need to be able to use the one that has my payment information to buy more iCloud storage, but don't know how to do this. I could also try to use the same payment info, but I can't, because the Apple Id I have for iCloud has a different country (Ecuador), and I need to use a US credit card. How can I fix this? Please help me find a solution.

OK, it sounds like you actually signed on your "Costa Rican Apple ID" to the iTunes & App Store. So, go into Settings>iTunes & Apps Store, and click on your Apple ID, then click on Sign Out.
Then click the Apple ID again and type in your "US Store Apple ID" and password.
Once signed on with that ID, click on your ID again, and then click on "View Account" to make sure that the Country/Region is showing the US Store flag.
If it is not, click on the Country/Region and select the US Store.
Hope that helps!
Cheers,

Two rooms, two apple tvs, one ID and one film - how does is work?

I plan to have an apple tv in each of two rooms.
Is is possible to rent a film with the apple tv in the living room, do a break at half and watch the rest of the film in the second room (eg the bedroom)?
...or do I need to pay the rent twice then (both clients are using same apple ID)?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
To do that you'd want to rent the movie on your mac/pc. Once downloaded, you could watch the first half in one room, stop playback, start the movie in the second room where it would ask you if you want to start from the beginning or resume where it was last stopped.

If i have two apple tvs one says it cannot connect

i have one apple tv which is set up we just bought another and it says when i login that it can not connect, dont know what to do?

Troubleshoot the network issue.

Playing Songs One After the Other NOT WORKING

When I play a song on my iTunes, it finishes the song and then stops. I can't get iTunes to play the next song in the Library. I never had this problem until I put the new iTunes 7 on my machine. Thoughts?

This may be related to the same problem people using party shuffle are experiencing. Here's a thread that discusses the problem: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=703069
Do you have crossfade turned on? You need to turn this feature off. If shuffle starts working properly, you can try turning crossfade back on. iTunes is getting "stuck" in shuffle mode and turning crossfade off seems to unstick it. Once it starts working correctly, crossfade no longer causes problems.

TranslatedStrings.txt : one line does work, the other not, why ?

I have a Swiss keyboard and try to reallocate the \ (backslash) shortcut to the $ (dollar)
On my keyboard the backslash is obtained with the ALT Gr key in combination with the first key to the right of the Shift key. LR does not like that at all.
Here is the content of my TranslatedStrings.txt file under the en resource folder
"$$$/AgDevelop/Menu/View/BeforeAfter/Before/Key=$"
"$$$/AgLibrary/Help/Shortcuts/HideShowFilterBarKey=$"
The first line works ok, it toggles the before/after view in the develop module.
The second line does not work. It is supposed to show the filter bar in the library module.
What is wrong with my syntax ?
Can someone supply me with the right syntax ?
Thanks
