I have 2 iTunes libraries on one Mac Pro and one Mac Mini. The libaries are available on the same home sharing network and all good there. All passwords are correctly entered into my computers and iPad.
Both are recognized by my Apple TV 2, however, my iPad 2 can see the iTunes library on each of them, but not both at the same time. Only the Mac Pro library shows up in Shared libraries, when iTunes runs on both devices and I start the iPod or Videos apps on the iPad.
To get the iPad to recognize the iTunes library on the Mac Mini, I have to shut down iTunes on both machines, then start iTunes on the Mac Mini.
If you copy your itunes music library from one machine to another using the finder, you will have 2 machines sharing the same library ID. So the iPad and iPhone running iOS 4.3 is unable to distinguish multiple libraries and it ends up showing just one of them.
To resolve the problem, force iTunes to rebuild your itunes library. Then do a full re sync with the iPad since it believes the library to be a new one.
