Using Airtunes with two Apple TV (HD type)

Music breaks up sometimes when streaming to either Apple TV. Have no trouble when playing music from content stored on Apple TV HD. Any way to correct this?

Thanks for the info.
It turns out that the "Look for External Speakers" option in the Preferences was turned off. Without this on, the pull down menu you mentioned doesn't appear.
Once that was switched on, the rest was easy!
Works great too. This was one of the elements that was a great addition to the AppleTV update!

  • Using contacts with two Apple ID's

    I have a personal iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro for which I have an Apple ID under which I keep my contacts.  I recently started a new job and they gave me an iPhone for work purposes, however I need to have a separate Apple ID for that phone.  I realize I can't use two Apple ID's on one phone.  Is there any way to update my contacts from my personal phone/Apple ID to my work phone/Apple ID?

    Setup another user account on your Mac. You use your Apple ID on your account and the other person on theirs.
    Open System Preferences > Users & Groups then select the Password tab.
    Click the gold padlock icon bottom left corner of the window. You will be prompted for your admin password.

  • Apple TV 1st generation cannot use AirTunes with Apple TV 2nd generation or Airport express 2nd generation

    Is it normal that Apple TV 1st generation cannot use AirTunes with Apple TV 2nd generation or Airport express 2nd generation? I want to play music synced in my ATV 1st gen. to a nymber of speakers in the house. In the list of speakers I can see Apple TV itself and my two Airport Expresses 1st generation but not my Apple TV 2nd generation or my Airport express 2nd generation. For the ATV 2nd gen. I found a solution: when I enable the Airplay setting of XBMC which is installed on my ATV 2nd generation, then AirTunes in ATV 1st gen. sees the speaker "XBMS (Apple-TV)". Itunes can in my Macbook pro can use Airplay with all my speakers, i.e. ATV 1st gen., ATV 2nd gen., Airport Express 1st gen., Airport Express 2nd gen.

    Last time I checked ATV1 could not use Airtunes to send audio to an AppleTV 2 or 3 - highly annoying as you think they would have kept backwards compatibiility for audio, but it seems Airplay is more than a superset of Airtunes.

  • Is there a cable with two Apple connections and one USB connection?

    Is there a cable with two Apple connections and one USB connection?

    it would be possible without damage to the phones if only the charging pins was used
    but it would mean the 2 phones would charge 1/2 as fast as normally

  • Can I purchase an iphone3g and then use it with the apple golf app as a golf gps without having to be on a cell plan or data plan?

    If I purchase an iPhone 3g, can I then use it with the apple golf app without having cell or data service?

    You do not need have cell service for the GPS to work.
    If the iphone is new, then you would have to activate it with a carrier in order for it to work at all.
    If it is used, then you can use it without wireless service:

    Hello Khayalh,
    You should be able to link your phone number by following the steps in the article below. From your iPhone, sign out of FaceTime and iMessage and then sign back in and it should link. Check in the Start Conversation With and I Can Be Reached at section in iMessage and FaceTime respectively.

  • Integrtion Scenario using BPM with two sender and multiple receiver

    integrtion Scenario using BPM with two sender and multiple receiver
    How many Application Components are required?

    Hi Vinod,
    1) In integration repository you can have one or many software components it depends on your landscape orchestration
    2) In integration direcory you need at least one service for bpm and one or many for each system in your bpm
    also each connection between systems and bpm must have receiver determination and so on.
    Advice: Please treat BPM as a separate system.
    best,

  • Using iPhone with two computers

    Home PC - MacBook Pro
    Work PC - Windows
    both running iTunes 7.7
    My music is on my home Mac and I manually create playlists, add music etc.
    With my 3G Nano, I can connect and listen to songs on my iPod from my work PC. I can't seem to do this with my iPhone - my PC sees the iPhone but all of the music is greyed out and cannot be selected.
    Is it a limitation of the iPhone that I cannot use it with two computers in this way, or is it a configuration issue?
    I would prefer not to have to buy a set of external speakers just to use my iPhone to play music at work.
    thanks
    Shane

    Actually, there are several articles on the web about the fact that you CAN
    synch the itunes with two computers. Music, Video, and Ringtones can be done from one computer, and Mail, Contacts, etc. can be done from a second computer.
    Just do a Yahoo search on "synching iPhone with two computers."
    If you are trying to do music from two computers, you are right, that will not work. There is a program, which I think the Yahoo search above will also uncover that allows you to do a "swap," where you can have the songs from one computer show up on the iPhone, and when you swap, the songs from the other computer show up. I am not sure if this utility survived the upgrage to version 2.0 of the softweare.
    cheers,

  • HT201335 Using mirroring with my apple tv and everthing shows up on the tv untill i try to watch a movie, i get the sound but no picture. I checked and both are on the same wifi?

    Using mirroring with my apple tv and everthing shows up on the tv untill i try to watch a movie, i get the sound but no picture. I checked and both are on the same wifi?

    I had this problem also. Several times in fact. And it has not been any relation with sw update (Apple TV). I managed to fix this on a strange way. I drop off WiFi in iMac and joined back. Right after thatI tried to adjust Airplay settings, but I didn't manage. Reason was that my iMac didn't found any Airplay devices (?). After about 2-3 minutes iMac recognized my Apple TV. And also audio "posting" to Apple TV started to work.
    So restart your WiFi connection on your iMac or MacBook Pro - it may help.
    Another hint is to use command: "sudo killall coreaudiod". More information about that: http://wwwx.cs.unc.edu/~cquammen/wp/2011/02/18/resetting-audio-on-mac-os-x/
    I have not tried this, but maybe next time

  • HT2204 What is the best way to use iTunes Match with two Apple ID's that have purchased content?

    Hello. 
    In my early years of using iOS devices i have unwittingly made the mistake of creating a second Apple ID for my second device.  So now i have two Apple ID's with purchased content associated with them. 
    I have turned on iTunes Match with the account that has the bulk of my music linked to it.  But my second account has maybe 150-200 songs (and lots of apps) that i really like and don't want to loose.  Activating iTunes Match for the main account wiped these 150-200 songs off my iOS devices and replace them.  Is it possible to have content from both my apple id's on my devices at the same time?  Is it possible to combine the content from both of my accounts?

    I'll try to help a bit.
    ITunes match space is different to icloud space. With iTunes match you get storage for 25,000 non iTunes purchased tracks and other than a limit for individual file size, there is no memory limit.
    You can turn match on individuallyon each device (I have it turned off on my iPod but turned on on my iPad and iPhone). When you turn it on then you get access to all the tracks, and in my experience any playlists I create have transferred over very well. I understand that some people have had trouble with playlists though.
    I'm not quite clear with exactly what you mean regarding cleaning up your library, but be careful about using Match for this. There is no guarantee that matched songs will be exactly the same version as your own copy, due to some mismatches, so you could find some problems there. Personall, I am cleaning up my library before matching, but I am rather particular about keeping my library the way I want it. If you aren't as fussed then match could be the answer.
    Hope that helped.

  • Can I use one phone number on two iphones with two apple ids?

    My carrier allows multiple sim cards with the same phone number for usage on different devices. I would like to use a second sim card for my phone number on a second iphone, but with a different apple id.
    Is it possible to use one phone number on two iphones with separate apple ids? How does this affect facetime/imessage?
    I can only find answers to using the same apple id on multiple devices. This works fine, but is not what I want to do here.

    You may be able to change the suspicious account activity message alerts
    in your Gmail settings, and check that side of it, since I can use several
    means of accessing my Gmail and Google Accounts; and in the past had
    shared an account (not google) with another party half a world away when
    her email server went down for a month.
    The Mail software should not know the difference, unless the setup in there
    is not correct; if this is so, then more than what she says would be wrong.
    The Google mail Support help site pages should cover this adequately.
