    Apple TV 4K order was cancelled and fully refunded but was delivered (arrived) today.

    I preordered the new Apple TV 4K, it took more time to arrive that promised by Apple. I contacted Apple by chat and they offered me a full refund and I accepted. That same day bought the ATV by Amazon and arrived next day without any problems. BUT, today just heading out of my apartment, I open...

    Apple TV can't access shared content on Mac Mini suddenly.

    So, I don't remember exactly when it happened, but for the past few months, I have had a problem getting my ATV to connect to my Mac Mini to play movies and other videos. Sometimes, infrequently, I can get it to see the content, and then sometimes it will actually play the content, and...

    New Apple TV Remote Mute Button…

    Who asked for this stupid mute button… and right in the same place where you’ve been trained to press play/pause all these years… so annoying… if I wanted the sound to stop I’d hit pause… I can think of far more useful buttons if they were gonna add stuff….

    Post update, Apple TV and AirPods V3 failing after a few minutes.

    Not sure if this belongs here, but here goes... I was watching old Star Trek original series with the AirPod v3's in, trying not to provoke the sleeping wife to emerge from her slumber to tell me how much she hates the original series, and the audio started breaking up. It was subtle at first...

    TV App Not giving option to delete a video

    Good Afternoon. On 12.1 Beta. I just noticed, my TV App is not giving the option to delete the file when deleting from the library. If I click to delete a video file (Downloaded or home movie) it will delete it from the TV Library, however it is still in finder. I noticed this after watching...

    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 TV 4K causes UPS to malfunction.

    Hey guys, Just thought I would post this odd situation here to see what kind of feedback people could offer. I've had an AppleTV 4k 64 GB in my living room for most of 2018, and I also have my iMac in the living room, so the home theater, and computer are on the same breaker circuit, but not...

    Hi, I already tried to search in the forum and other search engines, but with no success.. Does anyone know an App which works under 10.13/10.14 with which I could control my ATV4? Start/Stop Volume Up/Down would be enough for me. I only found 1Keyboard, but that app isa few years old, and...

    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.

    BOOM: Dolby Atmos Streaming vs Physical Disk

    My favorite part of surround sound is the deep bass that fills the room, as the action scene intensifies. I am researching how to build my collection moving forward and am looking for some feedback. I am leaning towards buying the physical disk for all my action movies and buy the rest from...

    DD5.1 Vs Atmos DD5.1+ and Atmos TrueHD

    You might be surprised... I have really nice home audio gear. I won't go in to detail but it's GOOD stuff. I've also taken great care of my ears over the years. I never listen to amplified concert music without ear protection and I don't blow my ears out in my car. Which also has an insane...

    Youtube casting on ATV is now flawless.

    Youtube casting was buggy when it debuted in the updated YouTube app a few months ago. Now it has been perfected. Casting is instant and so is fast forwarding or skipping. To my surprise on the Apple TV it's a lot faster than Airplay. Neither do the video stop if I close the YouTube app on my...

I have two connected and one stays connected but the other disconnects all the time and the device disappears from the list. The only way for me to make it connect again is if...

    Finding music on ATV 3

    I have a Mac Mini with all of my ripped CD’s connected via Home Sharing to my ATV3. I can find this music under “Computers->Music.” I have also purchased many songs from iTunes and those songs and albums are listed under “Music->Purchased.” Is there a way to find all my music under one header?

    Apps 4K YouTube app

    I watch a a lot of YouTube videos that are downscaled to 1080p from 4K. I'm aware there's an incompatibility issues between ATV and YouTube's 4K format. Will this be resolved soon or is it a white elephant that both Google and Apple are ignoring? I would rather not have to buy a ChromeCast...

    I want to be able to play games, such as Solitaire, and Sudoku, while listening to Pandora.... Sometimes I am able to play background music, Pandora for example, while in other apps, YouTube for example. Some apps turn off the music as soon as you switch to them, some don't. Some apps lets...

    TV app and watching from your Mac

    Hi wanted to see if you guys are noticing the same behavior. I like the new TV app, but it seems like some if what I thought would be nice features are misleading. So say I have the Xmen movie that I ripped years ago in my family sharing iTunes library on my iMac. I start watching this movie via...
