Switching between iTunes Accounts

[thatoneguy82]

I have multiple accounts on my ATV (3rd gen) but in the past several months, I've noticed that when switching to one account from the other, I become stuck to the switched account. Basically, I can't freely switch from one to another; the option to do so is greyed out. After a couple of hours or so, I can freely switch again but the same thing happens again if I do the switch.

I have 3 ATVs (3rd gen) and they all do this. Anyone know the cause of this and if there's a way to fix it?

I've had this issue too and it really bugs me. The whole issue of multiple accounts and how iTunes/aTV/Apple handle it is a PITA. I have UK, New Zealand and USA accounts and having to switch between them for updates to apps and watching cloud saved media is a mess.

Good to know I'm not the only one.

I'm beginning to wonder if this is a "bug" or if it's something that's "meant" to exist. But if it is the latter, what could be the purpose of it?

The only time it really bugs me is if I accidentally switch to an account or if I need to watch something on another account.

Well, it seems like it's somewhat fixed with 6.1. It still grays out, but it becomes available after a couple of minutes.
