Two iTunes libraries with an Apple TV

Hi I have the new Apple TV and I would like to know if it is possible to access all of the iTunes home libraries (several people). Computers are PCs and Macbooks.

I thought of two ways:

(1) pass the House Apple TV sharing whenever you want to access a different library (it's quite involved as we all have complicated passwords and we do not have a keyboard for the Apple TV)

(2) put all libraries iTunes on one account and use only one account.

#2 is possible? I know that I can test, but I wanted to ask you before I went to play with all computers.

-If I change the account on iTunes that will affect library one at all? (I know that we can add the new account to our sharing family so people can still get their purchases but what about not purchased items that are currently on the hard drive?)

-People will always be able to back up their phones, or will they move iTunes from their computer to their own personal account before saving?

Or is there a solution, that I don't know? Near as I can tell you can't do home sharing on Apple TV with multiple iTunes accounts.

You just need to configure home sharing to be the same ID on all computers. Home sharing doesn't have to be the same as the account ID (these are separate functions) and will not impact on other activities

  • Easy way to merge two iTunes libraries?

    Hi, I would like to see if I can get help with iTunes

    We had an iTunes library on a home computer and my ex-wife made Jazz playlist to play at parties, etc..

    I would like to copy the playlist to my iTunes library on my new computer.  Unfortunately, it takes about 4 hours, so I can't burn it to a single disc.  I guess I could burn to multiples, but I wanted to see if anyone has a recommendation on an easier way to do it.

    As a follow-up there may be other songs in the old library that I want to copy and wanted to ask you to do this as well.  My concern is that if I copy everything that I find myself duplicates in the current library.

    Thank you very much for the help.

    Cvass,

    There is no need for burning.  Copy the audio files from the old computer to a flash drive.  Insert the drive in the new computer and then drag the files (in small quantities) in the automatically add in the iTunes folder, which is located in the iTunes Media folder.  iTunes will add to the library.

    No and probably not. Some may choose several libraries as a way to manage multiple devices. Personally, I have my main library, another that I use only with iTunes game, and several that I could use to test behavior iTunes when I answer questions and I want to correct the details. Most activities in iTunes causes the .itl file update and the .xml so it is created. It is likely to be some kind of non-linear relationship between the size of the library and the time required to process updates. Each smart playlist should be updated when the data changes. Most of the smart playlists and playlist folders you more than the activity takes. Avoid creating the .xml if you don't need it, the control is in iTunes > Preferences > advanced.

  • Is it possible for two people to have separated on an iMac iTunes libraries?

    My dau. has a new iMac, and she has his iTunes library works in the way that she prefers.

    Is it possible for his partner to have a library separate iTunes he can use when it connects to and sync with the iPad?

    Yes. There are two ways to do this.

    1. did you separate user accounts - then all their data is separated and they can account for a long time no matter what either is appropriate

    2. have the same account but what iTunes libraries. You can have as many as you like: hold the option (or alt) key key and launch iTunes. From the menu that appears, select "Create Library" or "Choose Library" as the case may be.

    Finally, they could use the same library, simply not synchronize all this only to synchronize the items selected - playlists/albums etc.

  • IMessage Apple Watch has two interviews separated with the same person?

    My new Apple Watch has a problem with iMessage and I know how to fix this on my iPhone but not watch?

    On my iPhone, that my ID apple is connected to more than 10 devices and sometimes when a new device is added, it adds the addresses on my apple for iMessage and FaceTime ID and I always fix by unchecking the addresses that I don't want in the application settings under "Messages" and "FaceTime." However, this isn't the same thing to watch because there is no option in the settings on the Apple Watch and the watch App on my iPhone.

    I would like to help please?

    Hello

    Apple Watch uses the same parameters (for how you can be reached and how new conversations are started) for Messages as your iPhone.

    If you have two interviews separated with the same person, the following steps may help:

    • On your iPhone, check if there is more than one contact form in Contacts of this person (if so, remove duplicates).
    • Delete old Messages conversations with this contact on each of your iPhone and watch:
      • iPhone: app Messages > swipe to the left on a message thread > delete.
      • View: Open the Messages app (from the home screen, which is accessible by pressing the digital Crown) > swipe to the left on a message thread > tap on Trash / delete.
    • On your iPhone in the app Watch: Watch My > general > reset > press reset sync data:
      • You won't see anything happen after pressing it (the process runs in the background, invisible to the user).
      • Leave a minute or two to allow the course ends.
    • Restart your iPhone and your watch (turn the two together off the coast, then restart your iPhone first):

  • Problem with the two factor authentication with Apple TV.

    I tried to connect to my Apple TV (2nd generation, operating system and updates are up-to-date), log-in failed and indicated that I had to use two-factor authentication which I recently install on my trust Apple devices which included my iMac, iPhone and iPad. As expected, I received a notice on my Apple devices trust with the verification code to six figures to add this code to six figures at the end of my password when signing in the Apple TV. I put my password and add the code check digit at the end on my password. It did not work. Now I can not connect. Any suggestions to connect to Apple TV using 2nd generation two-factor authentication? This Apple TV device is not supported?

    There is model of Apple TV MC572LL/A with Apple TV software version 6.2.1

    Model identifier is AppleTV2, 1

    Model number is A1378

    People have been facing difficulties with this process. I have not encountered such difficulties then have not had the opportunity to test solutions. While a little pain can I suggest that you disable temporarily two authentication step until you have set up your Apple TV.

  • Popup on iPhone to connect to iTunes with old Apple ID

    I keep getting a popup on my new 6 iphone asking me to connect to the iTunes Store.  He said: "enter your password of your Apple (my old apple ID) ID.  I have not used this Apple ID over the years and am successfully using my other.  However, because I don't remember my password to my old apple ID, I can't connect and we hope to solve this problem.  This appears on every 10 minutes and drives me crazy.  How can I get rid of it permanently?

    Is it possible that you are using content you have purchased/downloaded with the old ID? Content is locked to the Apple ID used for the purchase/download of content. The only way to fix this is to go to https://iforget.apple.com to retrieve the password of your Apple ID, or remove the purchased/downloaded content with this ID, and purchase/download with new Apple ID.

  • 2 Itunes libraries do not sync

    Hi, I have a PC at work who had iTunes top. I have a laptop at home with Itunes as well. I assumed that if my music was in the clouds, that if Imade changes in a library, it would be at home... is my understanding correct?

    If I make a change to the library to work, she reflected on my phone, so Im happy with that, but it would be nice if he looking at home. Both computers are authroised in iTunes

    Thank you very much

    Only if both libraries are attached to the same active iTunes game counts and even then that reflect everything between the two libraries perfectly. Apple music has similar features, but the downloaded media through it can become crowded DRM and disappears if you end your subscription.



    Sync iPod/iPhone/iPad with two computers

    It is not possible to synchronize an Apple device with two different libraries, however it is possible to synchronize with the same library of logic from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPhone/iPad compared to the local ID with the unit synchronizes normally with. Are they the same, you can go ahead and sync, otherwise iTunes will want to erase and reload, even when two libraries contain the same files from media. Manual management is not an option with an iPhone because he still wants you to use a single library.

    I have my library cloned on a small USB 1 TB that I can take between home & work. In each position, I use SyncToy 2.1 for updating the local copy with the hard disk external. Mac users should be able to find other similar tools. I can open the local libraries or the external hard disk and refresh the content of my devices media. The slight exception is Photos that normally connects to a specific folder on a specific computer, but which can easily be remapped to the library current if you create a folder "Photos" in the iTunes Media folder so that files iTunes sync that keeps up to date, as well. I regularly scan my library for new files & orphans with iTunes folder watch just in case I have make changes somewhere but then replace the library with one more recent copy of the other. Once again Mac users should be able to find other similar tools.

    As long as your support is organized in a folder ofMedia of Tunes I, to his tour which is held in the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes media folder organized) each library can access elements on the same relative path to the library folder so the library may be in different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same version of iTunes. If your library is perhaps not in the correct layout see make a library of portable split.

    When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there is an entry for it, making it virtually redundant manual management on the iPhone. This behavior has been changed slightly, but it will again that a manual with a library that has the ID management right. If you do not want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the file iTunes Library.itl from 'House' to any other current machine, you want to use, and then clean up the entrances to the library and import of local content that you have on this box. However, you lose other benefits of synchronization.

  • You can access your itunes library on the apple tv?

    You can access your itunes library on the apple tv? If so, what generation?

    Second generation and later the Apple TV can access iTunes libraries that exist on a computer on the same network, they are through home sharing.

    Use home sharing to share content with other devices - Apple Support iTunes

    However, this is not related to music from Apple.

    If you want to access music from Apple's music subscription service, you need a 4th generation Apple Tv.

  • Please help me with my apple ID

    I changed my email address and created a new apple ID with my new email address. Now whenever I want to update my software, it comes up with my old address and will not let me update. How can I solve this problem.

    Thank you

    Irene

    Creating a new Apple ID is not the way to handle a new e-mail address.

    Change the email address that you use for your Apple-ID

    http://support.Apple.com/kb/HT5621

    Now, because you used the new email address to create a new Apple ID, you cannot use old Apple ID.

    The contents of the iTunes and Mac App Store are allowed to the Apple ID. The Apple ID is embedded in the licensed copy you download. It's in his DNA. Apple will not transfer the contents of one Apple ID to another. Apple will not merge two Apple ID.

    Unless you can get another new email address to use to follow the steps described in the link above, the only option is to delte everything bought with the old Apple ID and buy again with new Apple ID.
