    powering homepod mini with studio display

    Hi, I was interested in purchasing the studio display for my office, as I don't have much space and I like the design of the screen, I would like to know if there is the possibility of powering the homepod mini through the usb-C of the studio display? Could someone tell me if it is possible...

    Post your Apple Ecosystem!

    Hi all! I’m wondering what Apple products you use daily and can’t live without! I did something similar last year which was pretty fun so I thought I’d continued the yearly tradition to include new purchases. I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max (guess the colour 😂) Apple Watch Series 7 - Green...

    Seeking better sound + integration with the Apple TV 4K device and HomePod Mini

    I’m trying to find a good, economical sound solution for watching tv in my living room (15’ x 15’ with three walls. The other end is open to the dining room/kitchen.) I have a Samsung TV and I use an Apple TV 4K device and remote to control the tv. For audio I’m using a HomePod Mini, but I just...

    Home HomePod and home automation - Hey Siri

    I recently got some HomePod minis, and they’re working nicely with our smart home setup. We also upgraded our window roller shutters to be HomeKit compatible. So now via Hey Siri on the HomePods we can open and close the roller shutters. It got me wondering… if we’re not at home, does Hey Siri...

    Have you noticed the quality of Apple has gotten worse compared to years ago?

    Remember years ago when Apple was thriving and couldn’t be matched? They had this unspoken slogan of “it just works.” Now, I have so many issues with just about all of my Apple devices from speed, to bugs, to reliability, to Siri. It just seems like Apple has lost quality and charm. Some...

    HomePod HomePod Mini stereo pair issues

    Hi! Ever since updating to version 17.0 I'm having issues with my HomePod Mini stereo pair. Music seems to be playing OK, but suddenly one of them stops playing and I can't get it to work unless I reboot both Minis. Unfortunately, this has become a daily issue, and there are even some days when...

    HomePod HomePod Mini pair error

    My Apple TV 4K uses a pair of home pod minis for sound output. When used for playing audio from my iPhone the speakers both work. The Apple TV has stopped sending sound to one HomePod mini. I reset both HomePods. The pair exists in the home app and can be identified as left and right. Any...

    HomePod HomePod mini power over ethernet (POE)

    Has anyone tried to install a homepod mini using POE? Theoretically it should work, however I am having some trouble. As I increase the volume above 70% the mini shuts off abruptly. It works just fine up until about 70% volume. I am using a 24-port NETGEAR switch (GS728TP - POE+) and 190w...

    Best Option for TV Speaker

    Now I have a better streaming device (the Apple TV box is a huge improvement on my old Amazon Fire Stick), I'm thinking its time for a sound upgrade. It seems there are two choices, a single Homepod or a couple of paired Homepod Minis. I was wondering if anyone has tried each of these...

    HomePod Automations Just Stopped Working Again

    Well it’s happened again. My automations to play music at certain times of day have all stopped working. No changes to my network, software or hardware. No changes to the automations. The automation that pauses music works fine. If I press "test automation" several times, it will eventually...

    HomePod Mini Constantly Discounts From Apple TV 4K

    In my bedroom, I have an Apple TV 4K paired with one HomePod Mini for TV audio output and it works great! I recently purchased an additional HomePod Mini to connect to my Apple TV 4K in my living room and I’m having issues. The HomePod Mini in my living room will connect to my Apple TV 4K for...

    HomePod HomePod Paperweight

    Does anyone have a fix for my currently useless HomePod minis? Running 16.4.1, every request to play a song is met with “one sec” and then “I couldn’t find <song> in your Apple Music library.” It’s been happening for weeks. Factory resets aren’t working. They are doing a wonderful job holding...

    Home Can't get two Minis to operate separately

    Just got a second HomePod Mini for the kitchen. They are not paired for stereo -- but I can't seem to get them to play one at a time via the Home app on the iPhone. I tap one in the app, and they both go off; tap it again, and they both go on. Driving me crazy, and just can't figure it out...

    HomePod with reduced bass = similar to HomePod mini?

    Hi, I just received my two HomePods / connected stereo to AppleTV in the living room in our flat. Impressive bass – but at times, I think it's a bit too much as I don't want to disturb our neighbours, especially late evenings. So I end up using the "reduce bass" feature most of the time. I'm...

    HomePod Trying to set HomePod mini as default audio for Apple TV HD 2022

    I have tried the HomeKit App on iPhone, iPad (both running 16.3.1) and Mac OS Ventura (13.2.1), and the settings on the Apple TV itself. Nowhere am I able to set the default speaker for the Apple TV to the HomePod mini. No such option shows up in the Apple TV settings in HomeKit anywhere, and...

    HomeKit Thread-enabled hub is always ‘Standby’ but does this matter?

    So here’s something I haven’t had any luck with DuckDuckGo or Google and wondering if there’s a Thread Guru who can answer it: I finally added a HomePod mini yesterday so I could take advantage of Thread devices like my Eve Weather, and wemo Smart Plug which are the newer thread-enabled...

    HomePod HomePod Minis as computer speakers

    Anyone who's using two HomePod minis as computer speakers, how do you like it? I know in the past people complained there was a lag, is this still there? Are there any issues you run across? How happy are you with the overall sound quality? And have you compared it against other speakers in the...

    HomePod Homepod Mini cache at radio stations - a stupid idea

    Since many month I try to convince Apple to look into caching of radio stations. I use Homepod Mini mostly for listening to news on local radio. Everytime I do this I have to listen for one minute to yesterdays news before the actual staion is coming. Is it really that difficult guys? I will...

    HomeKit HomePod mini under the tree? New Architecture? Problem!

    Hey all, Here's a fun one. I'm running the latest HomeKit architecture; of course all the devices in my home are on 16.2. Last night I brought home a new HomePod mini & attempted to add it to my home. No go. Not possible. When going through the regular setup screens I was asked to log-in to...

    HomePod Music Stops on HomePod Minis Since 16.2 Update

    I have 5 HomePods Minis in my house. Ever since updating them to 16.2 (along with upgrading the HomeKit architecture), I've had nothing but issues with music just stopping on my HomePods. A few songs will play, maybe 4 or 5, but then it just stops. I have Apple Music, I'm not AirPlaying from...
