    Replace 2nd generation Apple TV?

    I currently have a 2nd generation Apple TV connected to an HD t.v. I realize that the current Apple TV works with 4K but I'm not planning to update that t.v. any time soon. My question is about the available apps. Over time, many of the apps on the home screen no longer work. For instance if I...

    Samsung Smart TV Remote with Lastest TVOS update

    Has anyone else had an issue with their Samsung TV remote no longer able to control their Apple TV after the latest update? I've done a factory reset on my TV and my Apple TV, but I cannot seem to get them working together now. Usually in the past, a simple power reset resolved the issue.

    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...

    Sync Videos to Apple TV?

    I have a handful of videos that I'd like to be able to play on my Apple TV. I would like to be able to play them on my Apple TV directly without having to have my Mac on (for Apple TV app Home Sharing) and without AirPlay from my iPhone. Additionally I'd like to store these videos in iCloud...

    Apple Vision Pro Replace Monitors?

    So...will the AVP (eventually) replace the need for monitors? My initial reaction was, "no way". Why would Apple create a product that would impact something they sell? However, after talking to other photogs/videographers, there are several advantages to going towards an AVP over monitor(s)...

    Do the Apple TV apps lack functionality?

    I'm tempted to buy an AppleTV to improve my set up. I currently have an LG C9 and the apps are _fine_ but a bit laggy / janky. I've read a lot of good things about how smooth the AppleTV is, however I've also read many complaints (on reddit) about a lot of the apps (e.g. Netflix, YouTube...

    Lyrics without Apple Music subscription?

    My preference is to keep using my own music library, forged over decades from recording off the radio and mix tapes with mates, ripping CDs, Napster, playlists, and increasingly-curmudgeonly ways... I have my reasons. Apple's ecosystem is certainly moving towards their subscription service. I...

    iPhone Is YouTube Premium worth it?

    Does anyone else here subscribe to YouTube Premium? Have you found it to be worth the cost? I primarily watch YouTube on my phone and my Apple TV. Because of that, I've never been able to block ads and I'm wondering if it might be worth subscribing for the ad-blocking feature and for the...

    Why does Apple TV play worse on MB15 and great on ipad

    I finally bought a MacBook 15 and ending up watching a couple movies I rented on Apple TV on my iPads Instead of MB. The MB visual is choppy while the audio goes on. I tried on chrome browser but my history doesn’t show up nor does the search for the movies I rented. Not one of my movies show up...

    Sonos Beam and Apple TV, yay or nay?

    I'm looking to add a sound bar for a projector and Apple TV HD setup. I don't want any wires running to the Beam so the idea of just using AirPlay to send the audio is appealing to me however I can't seem to find reliable information on how well this would work and what audio formats it would...

    TVOS and App updates is there an easy way to see a list of updates outside of TVOS?

    Hey all, hope the thread title isn't too confusing, or misleading. My question is, Like the mac, there are sites such as macupdate that show updated apps, to make it easier to see which apps have updates so you don't have to go and check each one. I know this carries over to iOS to a point on...

    Apple Fitness Airplay

    I know when streaming video and audio content from an iOS device to an Apple TV via AirPlay. Depend on the sources, it might be a local wifi tranmission of the content form the iOS device to the Apple TV (like local videos and photos on iPhone Photo app), or a direct streaming over the internet...

    TV with Dolby Atmos Set Up

    Hey guys, I'm planning to upgrade my TV to: Samsung's QLED 4K Q65C and the aim is to have a Dolby Atmos sound via the old Apple TV 4K and Stereo Homepods. However, the TV itself is not supporting Dolby Atmos. Will that be a problem? Thanks in advance!

    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 1st Gen HomePod discontinued due to inherent design errors? Class action lawsuit anyone?

    This is my first post on Macrumors forums :-) I have a first generation HomePod. It was re-gifted to me by a friend who said that he liked his Sonos speakers better. I was thrilled as I used to be a diehard Apple fan boy who went to MacWorld conventions at Moscone Center, from 1992 until they...
