    Mac TV app not seeing shared media - Is this just not a thing?

    Perhaps I'm misremembering, but back in the good ol' days of iTunes, I though we used to be able to access our shared media libraries, including Movies and TV, right in iTunes. I'm familiar with accessing my shared media library (stored on my Mac mini) on the Apple TV, but I was hoping that...

    iPad New “cheap” iPad makes no sense

    New “cheap” iPad gets the A14 chip to save costs I guess, and yet the new cheaper Apple TVs gets the A15 Bionic. Doesn’t make sense to me. At least if they had given the cheaper of the new Apple TVs the A14 as well that would kinda make sense, and probably would have made it even cheaper. All...

    Is there anyone out there still using an Apple TV 3rd gen?

    I bought my Apple TV 3rd gen around 2012 and, to this day, I use it everyday on my smaller HD tv. Wi-fi died 2 years ago but I started using Ethernet since then. By the way: can the wi-fi module be fixed? I use it for Netflix, Amazon Prime, CBS Live, iTunes Music and Apple TV+ more or less in...

    Is the new 2022 Apple TV 4K worth it? I already own the 2017 model.

    Let me start by saying that I don't expect another Apple TV upgrade for at least another 2-3 years, so if I am going to upgrade any time in the next year or two, I might as well get it now and reap the benefits, if there are any. I'll also disclose that my current Apple TV is connected to a...

    Is the Apple TV really worth it?

    Hi everyone! I currently own a Apple TV 4K. Works fine and all. But I’m also trying to clear out some cables, and wondering since my TV can access streaming apps on its own, I’m wondering if it’s worth keeping my Apple TV. I don’t play games on it. I do access my purchased content from Apple...
