    MacBook Pro casting?

    Hi, all. Normally my friends and family come to me for advice on cell phones and computers, so you're my last resort. (And probably the most knowledgeable as well. . .) I'm a college professor, and in the evenings, I teach online. It's Communication (or Speech Communication); the students are...

    Apple Thunderbolt Display with Apple TV / Fire TV

    Hello, My company is selling their Apple Thunderbolt Displays for $300. I *think* it's a good deal. Even though it's not a 4K display, I still really like the quality of it. I couldn't find anything for this price range on eBay/Amazon. The ones I found are refurbished or have some sort of dent...

    Is there a way to use google drive or some other cloud service to stream movies to your Apple TV?

    I have a bunch of digital movies that I want to load to a google drive and then be able to stream those from any device I have like Apple TV, iPad, or iPhone. I saw that Plex had an option for this, but they will be taking down their cloud device option. I wanted to see if there was any other...

    Apple TV landscape photos for Mac

    I've been searching for the black and white landscapes available as a screensaver for Apple TV, but all I can find are the aerial videos. Has anyone managed to extract the photos screensavers from the Apple TV somehow? The National Geographic ones are available on the Mac, but not the landscapes.

    HomeKit AirPlay 2 Over HomeKit Doesn't Reach Multiple Speakers

    So, I have my Apple TV (4th gen) set up in HomeKit in my living room. Then I have my old Airport Express set up with some speakers plugged in in the dining room. When I say, "Hey, Siri, play Bruce Springsteen on all speakers," music comes out of the dining room speaker, but not the Apple TV...

    Does the ATV 4K pass DD+ over ARC?

    I have a LG B7 tv that supports passing DD+ over ARC. I have a Yamaha YSP-2700 sound bar. When I use the internal apps of the TV it passes DD+ over ARC and my 2700 shows DD+. But I can’t seem to get my ATV 4K to pass anything other than DD.

    Apps Apple TV 2 espn app?

    I noticed this week on my old Apple TV 2 that the ESPN app disappeared. It’s not hidden, I tried reinstalling the Apple TV and it still doesn’t show up in the menu. It was definitely there last week. My Apple tv4 still has the app. Has Anyone else experienced this? Or know what happened?

    HomePod keeps launching Apple TV when playing music

    When asking HomePod to play some iCloud content (so no streaming from another device), anybody else seeing that, if available though, Apple TV is also being activated in the background? It can be best seen within the Home app with both the HomePod (expected) and the Apple TV (not expected...

    Is there a good alternative to the Siri Remote, eg can you use an old Apple Remote?

    The swipe to navigate is awful. It's been a few years now and I still can't reliably scroll one item left or right. The old remote was perfect (except for a weak battery cover clip and tendency to get lost) - could I pick up an old Apple Remote and use that?

    Fading songs from iTunes?

    Is there an option to fade the songs shared by iTunes? I play them using the "Computer" player. I have enabled the Songs fading option in iTunes on my Mac, and it works in there. But on ATV4K it's awful. Is that even possible?

    Video Streaming via Bluetooth

    Hello guys. I bought an Apple TV under the assumption that I could just mirror my phone screen to my TV to watch videos so I wouldn’t have to use my Wi-Fi hotspot. (The struggle of a broke college kid). Anyway, every time I try to watch a title on Netflix or a video on YouTube or whatever on my...

    Apple TV keeps quitting and taking me to Airplay

    I'm ready to quit Apple TV and just use Roku. I have been streaming a movie on Netflix and 3 times in the first hour it quits the movie and takes me to a screen that says Airplay. I have to go back to the home page, reopen Netflix, and start all over in searching for what I was watching and...

    HomePod HomePod putting codes on my TV?

    I updated all my idevices last night including my two homepods. I'm enjoying having multi room audio. However, I also have two Apple TVs that were added to the Home app on my phone. When I tell Siri to "play <whatever> playlist" everywhere, both of my TVs turn on and have four digit codes on...

    How do I bring up movie menu?

    i feel like this is a stupid question, but how do I bring up the movie menu after I start a movie? Hitting the menu key just takes me back to the TV app. Swiping up does nothing and swiping down shows me chapters and audio settings. Am I missing something? My movie has iTunes Extras since...

    Siri Remote no longer working properly

    I did find a similar thread on here, but none of the solutions worked and I didn't want to raise it from the dead. My Siri remote no longer works. I'm not certain what version of Apple TV I have, but it's at least 2 years old now. The buttons still work just fine, but using even a simple...

    Youtube casting on ATV is now flawless.

    Youtube casting was buggy when it debuted in the updated YouTube app a few months ago. Now it has been perfected. Casting is instant and so is fast forwarding or skipping. To my surprise on the Apple TV it's a lot faster than Airplay. Neither do the video stop if I close the YouTube app on my...

    HomePod Apple TV connects to Homepod but doesn't play sound through it???

    My Apple TV connects to my Homepod but doesn't play sound through it. Sometimes it will and after the sound doesn't play from my Apple TV i'll try it from my iPhone which works? Should I restart the Homepod?

    Screen Flashing (Apple TV 4)

    I have a 65" Samsung MU8000 hooked up to a Klipsch RSB-11. I run the cables in wall from a cabinet to the sound bar on the mantle, then in wall to the TV above it. When I hook up the Apple TV, the screen immediately begins flashing. It sometimes sorts itself out (I haven't figured out how)...

    Can you control which Apple TV screen savers display ...when, how long and in which order?

    Sorry - I know this question has probably been asked but I'm lazy tonight! ;-) I love the many mezmerizing Apple TV screen savers. Any way to control which ones come up and in which order? Thanks!
