    Apple One Discount on Apple One with new Mac?

    Apple has sent me a message on my phone suggesting I should upgrade to Apple One - which I'm thinking about doing as the monthly cost wouldn't be much more than I'm already paying for Apple Music etc. Just started paying for Apple TV after my last free year ran out from what came with my iPhone...

    Apple TV 4K (2021) Weird visual artifacts

    Ever since upgrading from the Apple TV HD to the Apple TV 4K released this year, I've noticed that most content I watch, regardless of streaming platform, has frequent visual artifacts. It seems to happen in areas where there is motion and with finely-detailed patterns, which leads me to believe...

    Laggy screen mirroring on Apple TV 4K Gen 2

    My Apple TV 4K Gen 2 is unusable for screen mirroring from multiple iPhones. The phone’s screen appears but runs at about ~1fps. It’s incredibly choppy and laggy, not usable for videos or even scrolling. Audio works fine. Mirroring the same phone to an ATV 4K Gen 1 in another room works...

    “Up Next” not working reliably

    I have two Apple TVs (one brand new, the other the previous generation 4K). I cannot figure out why sometimes the “Up Next” row just doesn’t update. For example, last night I started watching a movie in Disney+, and it appeared in “Up Next” on both devices. Then today, I’ve watched other items...

    [Apple TV 4K 2021] Abysmal Amazon Prime Video experience and other things...

    Hello everyone. I always liked to consume content in high quality, but not having a TV, I decided to invest in a stream-box after learning that Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV don't provide 4K SDR/HDR playback in the browser or within the app (Like in the case of Apple TV), and I decided to go...

    New Apple TV 4K remote keeps losing connection

    Got the new Apple TV 4K yesterday. The connection to the remote keeps getting lost, then connected again automatically. Very annoying while watching things with the pop up in the corner. Tried repairing twice. Tried hard reset. Tried charging the remote. Any ideas??

    Apple TV stuttering

    Connecting Apps

    I finally realized, weeks after cancelling my Disney+ subscription, that I could go into my Apple TV app settings and disconnect apps so that they don’t show up as playable when browsing movies. I noticed that my HBO Max wasn’t connected, so I manually connected it. Should the Apple TV app have...

    Can I Copy Movies From My PC to Apple TV Hard Disk?

    I guess kind of a newbie question, thanks in advance for your patience. I'm contemplating buying the new Apple TV 4k when it comes out in May. (Possibly pair it with my HomePods for audio output, maybe pick up the AirPods Max as well.) Currently I have a Windows PC and I use Plex for viewing...

    Purchased TV Shows - Wrong Or Missing Artwork on Apple TV

    Lately I’ve noticed that the cover artwork when you go into the TV Shows app and go to Purchased is all over the place. It always used to be the case that when you had multiple seasons of a TV show, the main artwork in the square grid view would be of the latest season. If you had bough then...

    Anybody use Infuse or something else to stream from Google Drive on Apple TV?

    Hey guys, any of you use Infuse or an app like it to stream videos from Google Drive? If so, how well does it work for really large 4K files and passing audio formats through? Looking for an alternative to Kodi, which afaik is not available on Apple TV.

    HomePod Sonos One SL much better than HomePod Mini, or have I a bad one?

    I have an Apple TV in kitchen, that I mostly use for listening to music, sometimes radio via Broadcasts, sometimes Apple Music. For a year I had a Sonos One SL connected via airplay, I didn’t want the Alexa version because I don’t want Amazon listening in. It worked well and sounded well and was...

    AT&T TV for Apple TV

    I've noticed the AT&T TV app for Apple TV seems a lot more glitchy since recent updates were released. Navigation through the Guide, Watch Now, and My Library is really jittery, a strange combination of both under- and over-sensitive movement when being navigated with the touchscreen on both the...

    Apple TV’s best game controllers

    Hi, I was thinking about getting two controllers for the Apple TV 4K 64GB in order to check out that arcade feature... Do you guys think it’s worth it? What’s your experiences when it comes to gaming on the Apple TV? Which controller would you recommend? I’m not much of a gamer. I just have an...

    Disney Plus and Filmmaker Mode?

    While I can get Dolby Vision with Disney Plus on my Apple TV 4K, I’ve noticed that it doesn’t give me the option for filmmaker mode. Maybe this picture setting is reserved for purchased or rented movies, for example, as opposed to streaming content?

    I currently have an AppleTV 4 running tvOS 13 and need to turn off all device verification (mandatory one time passcode) for airplay. This has apparently been broken since tvOS 10.2 according to what I could find on the subject. I had been using an older AppleTV 2 for years with all of my...

    Kitchen sound system with Apple TV?

    We just found out our ceiling is being sheetrocked tomorrow and we are scrambling to finalize our sound system plans. Originally we thought we would buy some decent in-ceiling speakers and run some speaker wire over to the area where the cabinet that will house our TV and amp will be (and decide...

    MDM for Families?

    Is there an MDM solution that works well for families? I have 20 Apple devices in my home (and growing), supporting a family of five. Keeping all those devices updated and managed is a constant, often stressful undertaking. If it helps, I’m a registered Apple dev and am enrolled in Apple...
