    Can I use Apple TV for music without TV

    I am looking for a simple way to listen to Apple Music via Apple TV without a TV. What have I already tried: The Bluesound is connected to the TV with an optical cable and produces sound, but as soon as the TV is turned off, the sound also disappears. When I use Apple Music with only Bluesound...

    Apple TV emulator or apps

    Just a random thought but Apple should have really made an Apple TV emulator of sorts for this thing. Then all streaming services would at least be available in full 4k quality with surround sound… I’m starting to get really annoyed that there’s no way to watch peacock or prime other than crappy...

    Is there an Apple TV app that lets you locally store videos/photos to watch offline?

    I'm talking about an app that is like the "Files app" on iOS, or anything alike. I just have some videos that are on my MacBook that I would like to have stored on my Apple TV to watch them offline without any internet connection at all. I have the 4th Generation Apple TV. Is this possible? If...

    Apple TV Channels are the answer to cord cutting but Apple is letting them slowly die.

    I love the concept of Apple TV Channels. Apple’s intention for them is a great idea in the midst of an ever broken streaming market where everything is fragmented across multiple apps. But Apple really is letting go of a GREAT TV opportunity with channels. Great ideas they include: •...

    Apple is heading for a decline.

    The past 12 months really hasn’t been kind to Apple. The lawsuits, the steps back in their products and ecosystem as a result, one negative headline after another, struggling stocks. But on top of all that, Apple isn’t feeling exciting anymore. Now before you start keyboard mashing to say how...

    HomeKit Home hub priority changes

    Not sure if this is happening to anyone else but for the past month or more my home hub defaults to my Apple TVs only… for years I wanted this to happen, as I assumed wired Apple TVs would be more reliable than wifi HomePods… but turns out I was wrong, the Apple TVs make for terrible home hubs...

    Hi there, I’ve got an issue with the internet speed on my Apple TV 4K (2022). It’s seems to be capped at 100MBs while connecting to my (mesh) network with 1000/100. This happens on WiFi (5Ghz) and Ethernet. My set up is as follows. I’ve got a Sagemcom modem with a TP- Link BE65 connected to it...

    New Beats Pill & Apple TV

    I am looking for an outdoor setup with a projector, an Apple TV and speakers. Now I’ll bring out my old HomePod but with the new beats pill being released this may be a better option. Has anyone tried pairing 2 of the new pills with an Apple TV and how easy is it? Without AirPlay I’m not sure...

    Apps Refresh Media Library?

    I have a shared media library on my Synology NAS, which generally works fine. However, if I try to watch (for example) an episode of a ripped TV series on my Apple TV when the NAS is in standby, the Apple TV can throw an “Unable to Find Media” error before the NAS has time to spin-up. The...

    Suggest Nearby (Other Devices)

    On my Apple TV, I’ve always enjoyed using my AirPods Pro and have it automatically detected when I am in range The “suggest nearby AirPods“ function makes it very easy to just pop in the AirPods and have them recognized. I now own the Sonos Max. It’s a great device, but it’s a pain going into...

    Home Is there another way to setup my HomePods and Apple TV without creating 3 different homes?

    I have 3 adults living in one house, one is the owner of all of the smart devices and is the primary home. Adult 2 and 3 both have Apple TVs and HomePods set for stereo speakers. Is there a way to set up the devices so they are separate (I don’t want to be logged into adult 3’s Apple TV and...

    How come Apple has not fixed when you click on a movie it opens the AppleTV App instead of this screen?

    So if you click on a movie when you are on the Home Screen on any Apple TV model since 2015, non-4K or 4K, it takes you to this screen: Why has Apple not fixed this, since it adds an unnecessary step to get to the movie(s) you were looking at to possibly buy or rent, or to get to things you...

    Replace 2nd generation Apple TV?

    I currently have a 2nd generation Apple TV connected to an HD t.v. I realize that the current Apple TV works with 4K but I'm not planning to update that t.v. any time soon. My question is about the available apps. Over time, many of the apps on the home screen no longer work. For instance if I...

    Samsung Smart TV Remote with Lastest TVOS update

    Has anyone else had an issue with their Samsung TV remote no longer able to control their Apple TV after the latest update? I've done a factory reset on my TV and my Apple TV, but I cannot seem to get them working together now. Usually in the past, a simple power reset resolved the issue.

    Post your Apple Ecosystem!

    Hi all! I’m wondering what Apple products you use daily and can’t live without! I did something similar last year which was pretty fun so I thought I’d continued the yearly tradition to include new purchases. I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max (guess the colour 😂) Apple Watch Series 7 - Green...

    Apple Vision Pro Replace Monitors?

    So...will the AVP (eventually) replace the need for monitors? My initial reaction was, "no way". Why would Apple create a product that would impact something they sell? However, after talking to other photogs/videographers, there are several advantages to going towards an AVP over monitor(s)...
