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.

HT3819 can I use two or more Apple Tvs on one network?

I have two Apple TVs on my network, one in a basement cinema and the other in the ground floor TV room - if I use the one in the basement, then stop using it and then later in the day try and use the one in the TV room I get an error message asking me to turn on home sharing. I have to go upstairs to my MAC turn home sharing off and then on again for the second Apple TV to work. The same thing happens if I subsequently try and use the Apple TV down in the basement. I am not trying to use them both at the same time. Does anyone know if I can run two (or more) Apple TVs on the same network and if so how do I get around the home sharing error I keep getting? Thanks!

Of my 7 Apple TV's only one is connected by ethernet, they all work as expected, more often than not at the same time (I probaly haven't had 7 running at the same time, it depends on who's using what))

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!

Yes give Them their own name so they dont All have the same

Can you have two apple tvs on one wireless network?

Can two or more Apple TVs exist on one wireless newtork?

No, in this case the 2 user accounts with its own Apple IDs would be completely seperated.
If you want to share this things like music and app purchases you will have to to something else.
1. Create two user accounts on your Mac (user A and user B).
2. Create two iCloud accounts just for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Photos, etc. (one for user A and one for user B):
On your Mac (with Mac OS X Lion or Mountan Lion):
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > iCloud > Create an Apple ID (button in left corner)
On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (iOS 5 or later):
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > iCloud > Get a free @me.com address and create a new Apple ID
3. It is not recommended because you shouldn't share your Apple ID account information with other people but you could set up your old Apple ID as an account just for store purchases (Apps, Music, ...) so that everyone of you can manage the purchases in their own library (Access is limited to 10 devices). Therefore you have to setup this "old" ID in Settings of your iOS devices (Settings > iTunes & App Store) and in iTunes on your Mac.

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)

Two Palm PDAs and iSync on one account - Synchronization not complete

I have set up two Palm devices with iSync on one account on my computer. It was my understanding that if I do a HotSync on each device with the Mac, all three devices should have the same information. I am finding that this is partially true. If I add information to a card in my contacts database on any device, that flows through. However, if I remove a card from the computer or either device, it does not flow through to the other devices or computer after I do a HotSync on each device.
What can be done to keep all devices fully synchronized?
iMac (20in, Late 2006) Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Changes are pulled from and pushed to various devices in your pool according to a 'plan' maintained by the truth database, and not all changes are necessarily passed around completely in a single session.
You can read this document to get an idea of how the Sync Services framework operates:
http://developer.apple.com/macosx/syncservices.html
If a second and subsequent synchronization does not transfer the record modifications or deletions, you can reset the truth database by launching iSync, opening the Preferences… dialog, and pressing the Reset Sync History button, then following the instructions which appear and synchronizing once again.

I have 2 apple tvs. One in the bedroom, one in the living room. When I try to airplay from my iPad, only the bedroom icon shows up. How do I add the living room?

Firstly, go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with the ID you use for iCloud. A new password will be sent to your associated email address.
If that doesn't work, for example because it's going to an address you can't access, then you will have to contact Support. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password' and click 'Continue'.

Welcome to the world of digital media. Your can't really transfer it. I don't know what the rules are about transferring to your spouse but I do know that in some cases when you die, your heirs cannot inherit your digital media. This is why there is still an advantage to buying the CD since the usage rights belong to whomever holds the physical media.
A possible workaround is to burn the songs to a music CD with yout account (tracks only without song titles) and then having your wife upload it as a regular music CD onto her account. It's been a while since i've done this so I'm not sure if it would work now.
Please note that I'm not advocating copyright and/or TOS violations. I'm only suggesting ways to copy music for your own personal use which has traditonally been permitted. I only did this because I wanted to convert iTunes songs to mp3 files so I could burn them onto a data CD for use in my car. It would make sense that since married couples are a joint entity, this would be personal use.
Also, I'm not a lawyer so don't take this as legal advice.

First create an iMovie project. Then drag the clips (or portions of clips) that you need into the project.
When finished, use the SHARE menu to share the project.

Can itune home sharing support slide show from 3 or more apple tvs simoutaneously ?

Can itune home sharing support slides show from 3 or more apple tvs simoutaneously ?

In theory yes provided your network is up to it - more likely to be stable on a wired connection.

HT1420 How can I get past 5 authorized computers when we have more computers, ipads, iphones than allowed. I want to have parental control by sharing 1 apple ID with one account?

We have multiple computers, laptops, iphones and ipad in our home. We have kept one account for iTunes in order to monitor what my family downloads for parental monitoring. How can I get approval or allow for more devices to be 'authorized' to purchase from iTunes? I don't want to have to have more than one account that I have to monitor - technology is overwhelming enough to control with all the hackers and distasteful things on the web.

Authorization applies ONLY to computers.
ipads/ipods/iphones/apple tvs are NOT authorized at all.

Is it possible to have two Apple IDs for one account?

I would like to set up one account with two Apple IDs so I could have one restricted to only free apps and the other unrestricted. My daughter has an iPod Touch and I want to restrict what she can purchase but also make it so if we agree that purchasing an app for her iPod Touch we can. New to this Apple ID stuff.
Thanks,
BubbaGee

No. Each account needs it uniquie email adresss as the Apple ID. However, yucan use more than one account on a single iPod and in iTunes.
To change the acount on the iPOd go to Settins>Store and sign out and sign in with the account you wnat. Also see:
