    Can I replace the battery in a Siri Remote 1st gen?

    Is it possible to replace the battery without breaking anything? Or is it glued (?) shut forever? If so, how about recycling the battery? I've had this remote for almost six years, so no wonder the original battery is worse for wear by now. Still, the remote works fine.

    Airpods (1st v) and Powerbeats won't connect to Apple TV same time

    I was hoping we could watch Apple TV shows using the version 1 Airpods and my Powerbeats. Airpods connected fine. But then my Powerbeats got a message that I can't get it to connect UNLESS I turn off the Airpods. Is this an Apple TV model-specific thing - or do I need two pairs of current...

    Trending Section Missing from Apple TV for Anyone Else?

    Just noticed on the Apple TV app on my iPhone that the “Trending” section that usually appears below the “What We’re Watching” section is missing. Is this the case for anyone else? I hope they didn’t pull it as it’s the only section I ever really look at.

Any fixes...

    Mac TV app not seeing shared media - Is this just not a thing?

    Perhaps I'm misremembering, but back in the good ol' days of iTunes, I though we used to be able to access our shared media libraries, including Movies and TV, right in iTunes. I'm familiar with accessing my shared media library (stored on my Mac mini) on the Apple TV, but I was hoping that...

    iPad New “cheap” iPad makes no sense

    New “cheap” iPad gets the A14 chip to save costs I guess, and yet the new cheaper Apple TVs gets the A15 Bionic. Doesn’t make sense to me. At least if they had given the cheaper of the new Apple TVs the A14 as well that would kinda make sense, and probably would have made it even cheaper. All...

    Is there anyone out there still using an Apple TV 3rd gen?

    I bought my Apple TV 3rd gen around 2012 and, to this day, I use it everyday on my smaller HD tv. Wi-fi died 2 years ago but I started using Ethernet since then. By the way: can the wi-fi module be fixed? I use it for Netflix, Amazon Prime, CBS Live, iTunes Music and Apple TV+ more or less in...

    Is the new 2022 Apple TV 4K worth it? I already own the 2017 model.

    Let me start by saying that I don't expect another Apple TV upgrade for at least another 2-3 years, so if I am going to upgrade any time in the next year or two, I might as well get it now and reap the benefits, if there are any. I'll also disclose that my current Apple TV is connected to a...
