homepod connectivity issues

I have four HomePods, all named, very sadly, after Star Wars droids. One of these HomePods is called R2-D2. It is one of the original HomePods. This morning, when trying to use it, it would not work. It has completely died. I have tried turning it on and off again, but no lights are flickering...

Has anybody else running an Apple Smart Home noticed this: When I make requests to Siri to control devices from my phone or Apple TV, they work very reliably. Almost never have issues. However, when im walking through my house and utilize the HomePod minis I have set up (3 in a way where I can...

Suddenly this morning all of my OG and mini HomePods have suddenly stopped being able to respond to requests. I only get “On It…” “This is taking too long” etc. restarted network, and even tried removing and re-adding HomePod (which has always been the previous fix and still nothing. Anyone else...

Since updating my HomePod speakers, I am now having connectivity and static coming from the speakers kind of problems. Anyone else? If you know how to fix it let me know. Thanks!

This morning my homepod was able to play music on requests, look up the weather. this afternoon, I am getting" working on it, taking too long, sorry" I have 16.2 on it, I can play music on my iphone and have it play from the homepod. I have the big first generation unit. I have unplugged...

I just got a pair of HomePod minis, and one is constantly dropping connection. Then if I pair them in stereo, they are always disconnecting, and the audio stops. (Airplaying from MacBook Pro) Could this be related to the new HomeKit Archeticrue? I upgraded to that before setting up the...

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...

So my original HomePod has worked flawlessly since we bought it and we use it everyday, however, it suddenly just died. It won't turn on or respond to touch or voice. The screen on top of off. Is this dead? Is this an issue I can fix? Any ideas?

Anyone notice that HomePod want play radio stations after 15.2 update? iPhone not working neither!

I have a HomePod. Registered to my account and linked, therefore, to my iPhone and iPad. All has worked perfectly for over 2 years. I control the HomePod with my account. The other 3 family members all have their own, completely separate, Apple accounts and can play their own music on their...

Hi folks- I spent awhile trying to figure out issues with sending audio from my Music app on Big Sur to my HomePods. I'm posting this just to add to the list of troubleshooting steps, as I couldn't find the resolution anywhere (just in case anyone needs this). :) Story: My MacPro 5,1 Westmere...

Issues I'm having: Intercom not working, there was also no setup for it Can't toggle on or off any homepod settings Can't set any Homepod as home hub Automations not showing Can't update settings for language or login to a different account Asking Siri to find iPhone works, but when asking for...

My HomePods haven’t been able to give me my personal update anymore since updating them to 14.5. I’m in Germany, and both of my HomePod minis just keep telling me there is a problem with the connection and that I should check if the HomePod is in the same WiFi as my iPhone. Everything else works...

Hey all- Here’s hoping someone here can come up with an idea about the below. I’m completely stumped. Basics: I bought a 2019 Amazon Renewed iMac in early August. It was sluggish, to near unusable degree. It ALSO could not play to my brand new HomePod without dropping out, stopping, etc More...

Hi, Apologies if this has been asked numerous times before. I have a stereo pair of Homepods in the bedroom at present and am considering buying a third device for the back room. The thing is that the WiFi doesn't reach there and I bought an expander device so it would. This means that the...

Hi, So I have been running HomePods in my bedroom successfully for a number of months now, firstly a single one and then adding a second to create a stereo pairing. However this past week or so I am seeing a repeated issue in which I ask for something and am told I need to sign into my Apple...

I am the account "owner" if you will call it of the Home app on my iPhone. My wife was invited so she also has control over the Home app / smart devices in the house. However, when I initially setup the new HomePod, I tried to use her phone (as she has the more complex schedule, drive to work...

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...

I was extremely excited to update my Sonos system today after I read that the new 9.0 update was bringing AirPlay to Sonos finally! I currently own two Ones, two Play:1s, a Playbar, a Sub, and three HomePods. This update meant I could finally use my HomePods and Sonos system as one, cohesive...

Ok so since I don't have an Apple TV myself, I'd like to ask if someone with an Apple TV and two (or even just one) HomePod can confirm whether or not the following is possible. I know that you can stream audio to a Stereo HomePod pair from an Apple TV 4th and 5th generation via AirPlay 2, and...
