    AppleTV With iOS 16 No Longer Works With HomePods

    Updated my AppleTV to iOS 16 a few weeks ago and the 2 Homepods I have as a stereo pair no longer work with it. I keep getting a "can't connect to Homepods, change device" popup". I updated the HomePods to iOS 16 beta and they still do not work. They worked just fine with iOS 15.x. WTF Apple...

    HomePod Siri on HomePod Won’t stream Apple Music

    As of the morning of October 12, 2022, Siri on my HomePods, running OS 16.0, cannot find Apple Music artists, songs or Apple Music Radio. Nothing has changed with my Apple Music subscription. In fact, Siri on my iPhones works just fine with Apple Music. My HomePods respond by saying, “Just a...

    iPhone 14 Pro Max Strange AirPlay Feature with iPhone 14 Pro AOD

    Things that make you go "Hmmm ..." This morning I was AirPlaying music to our HomePod from my 14PM, and my iPhone's AOD was displaying the album artwork and music controls (as expected). What is very strange though is my wife put her 14PM on the table and I noticed that the same album artwork...

    Album Art Slightly Smaller on Lock Screen When Airplaying to HomePod

    I’m not sure if this is by design, or a bug, but when I AirPlay music from the Apple Music app to my HomePod mini, the album art on the lock screen is slightly smaller than normal.

    Ventura Beta 7 and iOS16 on HomePods

    I don't know where the issue lies, but I am on macOS Ventura beta 7, and today my two (paired) HomePods were updated to iOS16, and since then I can select the pair as an output, but no sound comes out. If I select the paired HJomePods in Music specifically, it works, and if I select the pair on...

    HomePod All HomePods- Can’t connect to Apple Music

    Not my internet. Everything else works fine and I can play it from my iOS devices and transfer to HomePod. However if you ask Siri to play something, it says it’s having trouble connecting to Apple Music. I have 11 HomePods, all are the same. 4 OG and 7 minis.

    HomePod HomePod Mini is driving me insane (buggy stereo)

    Hi everyone, In my home office I have two HomePod Minis set up as stereo. I've had them for a year or so and they've worked almost perfectly (only rare occasions of the stereo function not working) until the last 1-2 months. Now my left HomePod will often not respond at all or it'll play music...

    HomePod Any quick way to target like 10 homepods at once?

    So, I’ve got like a dozen homepods. When I use the AirPlay device selection screen from my iPhone or iPad and want to play something on all of them, I need to tediously tap each one. And… while i’m doing that the interface is simultaneously moving them around as it groups them all under a...

    HomePod How to independently adjust volumes of two HomePod minis via shortcuts

    Can you set the volume for two HomePods via Shortcuts so that the HomePods are at different volumes? I know that I can set the volume for ALL of my HomePods together in the Home app. But I want my HomePods at different volumes.

    HomePod HomePod Mini: podcast player?

    I got a HomePod Mini for Christmas and set it up. I'm just getting accustomed to it. One thing I do a lot is listen to podcasts. For years I've used the Downcast app as my podcast accumulator and player. The Mini says it cannot access that app! Has anyone got a workaround for using a podcast app...

    HomePod HomePod Siri now knows Dutch in 15.2b

    Good news for the people with Dutch as their native language! The HomePod version of Siri now (15.2b) speaks Dutch. The Belgian (Flemish) version is available as an option, but the voice remains the same. Guess the HomePod will soon be for sale in The Netherlands!

    HomePod How is Dolby Atmos/5.1/7.1 on the OS HomePod?

    I am thinking about buying one. I have 2 minis, but the bass isn't brilliant for movies. What's Dolby Atmos like? Does it work playing movies from 3rd party apps? (VLC for example). Have you compared it to any other devices? Is it more 3.1 than 5.1 or not great? Thanks for your feedback :)
