Multiple iTunes Accounts And Apple TV

Here's a scenario for you. You've got an Apple TV and you sync your iTunes library to it. Someone else in your household also has a computer with an iTunes library. While you can only sync one library to the Apple TV hard drive, you can stream content from other computers very easily. One problem. Apple TV only authorizes with one iTunes account. Thanks DRM!

Thankfully, there is an easy way around this. On the computer that syncs with the Apple TV, open iTunes and click Store from the menu bar. Click Authorize Computer. The following window will appear. 

Simply enter the username and password for the iTunes account being used on the computer streaming the content to the  Apple TV. This will authorize the computer to access content from that account. Since Apple TV is attached to this computer by syncing, the credentials will follow.
