    HomePod HomePod 12.1 update?

    Several outlets are reporting HomePod 12.1 update is out. But I don't see it. After the "checking for update" wheel spins for a bit, it says: iOS 12 Your HomePod software is up to date. What am I missing? I've updated my iPhone and iPad to 12.1, so I know that's not the issue.

    HomePod 'Hmmm . . . I'm having trouble playing that'

    I use my HomePod as the speaker for my Apple TV. Works great. Then I turn my TV off and some time later I want to play music from my iTunes Cloud library. "Hey Siri play the Beatles." To which it replies, "'Hmmm . . . I'm having trouble playing that" The problem is the HP is still connected to...

    HomePod HomePod as home theater?

    I currently have a rather nice Pioneer receiver with a 5.1 speaker system. I do enjoy the great sound quality but I have been thinking of taking it a notch down to save some space in the living room. I’ve been considering getting 2 HomePods to replace all of it. Does anyone here use HomePod for...

    Apple TV 4K to HomePods (in stereo) over Airplay 2

    My wife ask if she could have 2 speakers on the night stands instead of using the soundbar across the room. This would allow her to use a lower volume since they are on her side of the room. So I setup 2 HomePods (in stereo) and told the Apple TV to use them over Airplay 2 (as a single...

    HomePod or pair of Sonos Ones

    My First MacRumors poll, apologies if someone posted similar. In the UK you can get a HomePod for £300 a Sonos One costs £199, there was an offer for 2 Ones for £360 but couldn’t find that offer any more. No way I can afford £600 for a stereo and if I’m honest I can’t afford £400. If cost wasn’t...

    HomeKit HomeKit Automations are duplicating and won't delete

    I have a couple of sets of automations that i have run at (1)10:15pm and (2)7:00am for over a year. On Friday I upgraded to my new iPhone. Suddenly the automations started running twice a day, as if they were in the eastern time zone and in the pacific time zone. Now number 1 runs at 7:15pm AND...

    HomePod Is there any way to set an alarm to start a music playlist in iOS 12?

    This wasn't possible in iOS 11, alarms could only play a single, Apple-provided alarm sound. Seem like this capability should have been present on the original HomePod release and if it is still missing then something is seriously wrong with the HomePod development team (IMO). Well, they did add...

    Can You Set Music as an Alarm in iOS 12?

    Sorry wrong thread...should have gone under the HomePod. However, this would also be a good feature for music playback on the AppleTV.

    Home AirPlay 2 'hubs' vs AirPlay 2 'clients'

    (This is a slightly modified cross-post from the AirPort Express AirPlay 2 news thread.) I don't know about everyone else, but it's taken me a while to fully piece together what the AirPlay 2 ecosystem can really do and how we're supposed to use it. The promise of AirPlay 2 is multi-room...

    I have a HomePod and I have a new 4k Apple TV hooked up to my TV and home audio system. Both are in my Home app and both work well with Airplay 2 through either the computer or my iPhone. What I'd like to do and for some reason am having a hard time getting anyone to understand my question...

    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...

    Have Public Beta 5 installed on my iPhone X. 11.4.1 on my HomePod (since no PB there). My question: Is anyone else experiencing random Airplay 2 audio dropouts on the HomePod in a similar setup? For me, in different apps, the audio will just go silent for a few seconds and come back. No...

    HomePod HomePod Suddenly Not Playing Through AppleTV??

    I may be late to the party on this issue, but I can't locate much by way of a solution. I'd been playing everything from my Apple TV (generation 3) to the Home Pod without incident until about three days ago where suddenly no sound comes through at all. I've restarted, reset, reloaded, etc...
