Q: Can't get ITunes to play through the TV via ITv

I recently changed my email address and set up a new gmail account.  I used this address in my ITunes account as well so now I have 2 itunes accounts .  The one that I use to purchase items with is not the one that is coming up on the TV for home sharing and I cannot get ITunes to play through the TV.  A message keeps asking me to log in with the old ITunes account and I am not able.  When I log in with my new Apple ID it accepts it on the computer but the TV is still asking for the old email address log in.

I would be happy to play the computer through the TV in the mirror format but I can't find out how to do that and my adult children are not answering their phones.  Can anyone help

Thanks

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

    Hey Galogs,

     

    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you have two Apple ID's and you want to use Home Sharing to the Apple TV. It is asking you for another accounts information. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

     

    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID - Apple Support

    Apple TV

    To play content from your Mac or PC on an Apple TV, complete these steps on your Apple TV:

     

    1. Go to Settings > iTunes Store > Apple IDs.
      • If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID, choose Sign Out, then choose Add New Apple ID and enter your current Apple ID and password.
    2. Go to Settings > iCloud.
      • If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID, choose Sign Out, then choose Sign In. You'll be asked whether you want to sign in with the Apple ID that you entered for the iTunes Store. If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud and the iTunes Store, choose Yes.
    3. Go to Settings > Computers, then turn off Home Sharing and turn it back on.
