    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

    Does anyone else have this problem with AppleTV?

    This is driving me crazy! And so far, I can find nothing on Apple Support forums or via Google for an answer. On my Apple TV fourth generation and my Apple TV 4K, as well as my third generation, the recommended tab in the movie section is always empty and tells me to start rating movies to get...

    Apple TV Mirroring and Bluetooth Speaker

    I have an LG monitor on the wall that I want to use with an Apple TV. The monitor doesn't have any speakers so can I connect an Apple TV to the monitor and use a Bluetooth speaker with the Apple TV while mirroring an iPad or iPhone?

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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...
