    Mirroring not working with Mac

    I'm on Sierra version 10.12 and when I try and mirror to my AppleTV I get audio but no image. I tried this with my iPhone and both the audio and visual is fine which eliminates connection issues from the Apple TV to my TV. Any help on what settings etc I need to change on my Mac?

    General Hotspot Questions

    I've got a couple of questions relating to the sharing of my iPhone's 4G connection via Personal Hotspot. I'm often at a location where my phone is only able to keep a solid 4G connection in a certain, small area of the building. I therefore keep my iPhone there while connecting my iPad via...

    Install OS X Tiger/Leopard on Apple TV 1

    Okay, will these steps work in order to install OS X on an Apple TV 1 directly onto its internal hard drive? (With an external USB storage device) (I do not have the Apple TV itself, so if I need to input a serial number or something like that I will not be able to continue with that step) Now...

    HDMI-CEC + Airplay = No?!

    So the Apple TV 4th gen has HDMI-CEC (if you don't know what this is, it basically means you can control the TV via a HDMI-CEC enabled device i.e. switch it on and off, turn the volume up and down from the Apple Tv remote - etc etc) So my question is: Why does the TV not switch itself on when...

    Apps tvOS 10 games which require the use of an MFi game controller

    So where are those new games which require the use of a MFI game controller? Where are the games which support four MFI controllers at the same time? I was hoping to see much more ports coming to tvOS. Seems the tvOS ecosystem is not really interesting for developers. I really wish there would...

    DCI-P3 and iTunes

    iOS 10 HomeKit ATV3 Incompatibility?

    According to https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT204893, users should be able to use an ATV3 or ATV4 as a HomeKit Hub but I can't get my ATV3 to be recognized by the Home app. Additionally, it only lists the ATV4 and iPad as possible hubs. Did they change their requirements?

    Using Apple TV app, how do you...

    The Apple Music app for Apple TV is actually pretty good considering how mediocre the iOS app is. But I can't figure something out (using Remote app for iOS). Say I've got the 'New' tab open and I click one of the new single releases. It starts to play automatically, which is fine. But how...

    AirPlay bug - Bedroom Spple TV (2)

    My iPad, now on developer beta 6, has this weird bug where the AirPlay menu lists "Bedroom Apple TV (2)" as an available option. The Apple TV we do own does appear in the AirPlay menu and works fine, but we do not own a device called Bedroom Apple TV and have never at any point owned one. I...

    "Watch random 'Big Bang theory' episode" - Siri command?

    I'm thinking of buying an Apple TV 4. Either a reason not to- or an argument to actually buy the ATV4 would be Siri. But I was really wondering if Siri is capable of letting you view a random episode of a specific show by command? I've got a few seasons of The Big Bang Theory on my local NAS and...
