Once there I checked out the captain Marvel movie and after scrolling down past “related movies” I found the iTunes extras preview for this movie.

    Apple TV Media Organization

    In iTunes, selecting "Keep Media folder organized" would reorganize all TV shows based on [Show] -> [Season] -> then store the episodes in there. In the new Apple TV app, they seem to have completely reorganized my library to eliminate [Season] folders, so now it's just [Show] -> episodes. This...

    Future of Home Sharing (iTunes & Apple TV)

    I know a lot of changes are coming with the slashing of iTunes. Also streaming is basically a norm these days. All my CD's ripped in ALAC, All my DVD's are archived digitally in iTunes. I even started putting my BD collection on iTunes. The ecosystem has treated me nicely for many many years. I...

    Has anyone else noticed that the new TV app no longer prefers surfacing free content that you've already subscribed to? Previously, when browsing movies in the TV app it would only show me content from sources I subscribe to, HBO, HULU, Showtime, some TV channels, etc. This was true of the first...

    Apps Is a Dedicated Apple TV box still required?

    ...if you buy a new smart TV? I'm about to purchase a 4k 65" Visio TV. It looks amazing! :) My initial research indicated that I will no longer need a dedicated Roku box, because my impression is that every channel that it carries is available on the TV's hub that I am purchasing, most...

I'm trying to add the TV show Elementary back to the Up Next section of the TV app. I've already watched all the seasons available and am wanting to watch a season over again, but it won't update in Up Next with the next episode to watch from Hulu...

    Apple TV Remotes No Longer Work as of 4/2

    My wife and I noticed that our Apple TV remote was no longer working this morning. We tried charging it, but it didn't help, and the Apple TV didn't report that it was charging (on screen). We didn't think much of it, but figured a hardware issue must've come up with it. A few hours later, we...

    Theory: HomePod Will Replace AppleTV

    I’m going to make a bold prediction: The Apple TV as we know it will disappear. When Apple announces its new TV service on Monday, it will be called TV. Apple began working towards this a few years ago when the TV app was launched. Not only did it take a prominent role in tvOS as the place...

    Apple Sports

    I think Apple should start selling Sports as a service. They should start by acquiring DAZN. This would bolster their TV app and streaming services. For a good price people would jump in. Not only that but if they could score some exclusives than it would promote their platform even more...

    HomeKit HomePod + Apple TV + HomeKit

    I'm setting up a HomePod, new user, with an Apple TV and eventually will include HomeKit for lights, fans, etc.. I'm already stuck on the first question on the Home app. Do I want the Apple TV or HomePod to be the center of my home? I have an iPhone and iPad too, if that makes a difference.

    Entered Apple ID password wrong *once*, locked out until Jan. 6. WTF apple?

    What kind of garbage is this? This is how they treat their customers? do they have to fax a request to another department and hand carry it to get stamped or something? this is pathetic for an online service they should be ashamed. Really regret getting in the Apple ecosystem
