homepod

In my bedroom, I have an Apple TV 4K paired with one HomePod Mini for TV audio output and it works great! I recently purchased an additional HomePod Mini to connect to my Apple TV 4K in my living room and I’m having issues. The HomePod Mini in my living room will connect to my Apple TV 4K for...

Just got a second HomePod Mini for the kitchen. They are not paired for stereo -- but I can't seem to get them to play one at a time via the Home app on the iPhone. I tap one in the app, and they both go off; tap it again, and they both go on. Driving me crazy, and just can't figure it out...

Hi everyone! So, I am new to the world of HomePods, but have been using airplay from an apple airport Xpress plugged in to an old iPod hi-fi for ages. AirPlay is great I love it. But, I realize it may be time to enter into the modern era of smart speaker and I wonder if a HomePod would be a...

I’ve always had a problem that one of my 5 HomePod minis will just drop off and stop playing. But the rest were fine. It’s not off the network. Still works. Just, stops. Since iOS 16.4 I will be playing music and around 2 hours later all of them will just stop. Dead. I check home and it...

The new update totally messed up my HomePods (New and Minis) When I ask Siri to... play a certain playlist, it regularly plays totally different music play in multiple rooms, it usually fails to do so. It plays on the addressed HomePod but the other rooms stay quiet, while they are shown as...

I want to airplay from my homepod (and/or a group of homepods) and include my mac in that music group. This functionality doesn't appear to be supported. I can airplay from my phone to my mac, but if I try to airplay from one homepod (or a group) to my mac, it doesn't. Anyone had any...

I’ve got three HomePods in my home, 2 fullsize OG’s (1 upstairs, 1 downstairs) and a HomePod mini. One of the OG’s is in the living room, then I have the mini in the kitchen which is the other end of the house (would say around 15-20ft away). Have had this setup for a year, but for some reason...

Siri, while always pretty poor, has become disastrously bad in the last few weeks. What change has occurred? When music is playing on the HomePod: Me: "Hey Siri. Stop" Siri: "No one is calling at this time" This always used to work to stop music. Desire to listen to up tempo music: Me: "Hey...

I just got my new HomePod yesterday. It appears to be stuck at iOS16.0 and there doesn't seem to be a way to update it. my Eero shows its on my network, I can play music from my phone to it, and I see it in HomeKit... yet it says "this accessory is not responding" It can get the weather for me...

This is really just a comment rather than a problem. I’d be interested in others’ comments. I’ve created a Shortcut that performs an action, then has a delay (120 seconds) and then performs another action. I can run this Shortcut from my iPad or iPhone and they just do it without complaint...

Got my HomePod 2 today and was disappointed to discover the power cable is only five feet, which is too short for where I place my HomePod. The O.G. HomePod power cable was six feet. If you need a six foot power cable you'll need to buy a replacement power cable.

Since a couple of months my Apple TV 4K (2) would stutter every couple of minutes (sometimes even less then that) when airplaying videos, be it from my MacBook Pro or from my iPhone or iPad; the source didn't matter: if I airplay video, the video wouldn't be smooth but pauze for seconds...

This thread is tricky to keep focused - theres just so many problems. There are other threads of course discussing various aspects of this not working. I am so surprised at Apple here. HomeKit and multi room music has been awful for a long time, but with each new 'update' it seems to get...

Thank you Canada Post and Best Buy 🥰 It's my first full-sized HomePod so I'm pretty excited.

Just finished Brian Tong’s excellent review and listening test video for the new (2023) HomePod. You can watch for yourself, but basically for the meat of the video he sets up several pairs of smart speakers to compare: two Nest Audios, two Echos (4th-generation), two HomePods (2023), and two...

Do you think you we’re going to see third-party power cords now that the cable is removable? An option to buy, say, a 3-meter power cord, would be a huge reason for me to consider it. Maybe we can use this thread to post any links to them.

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...

Hello, Newbie poster but longtime lurker posing a question. If and or when my HomePod 1st generation fails, should I pay the $300 out of warranty replacement fee or, purchase the new HomePod? I'm somewhat conflicted for the following reasons... I have 7 of the original models with three stereo...

https://www.imore.com/how-group-homepod-and-sonos-speakers-multi-speaker-surround-sound Has anyone tried this? How is the experience? I’m considering getting the new HomePod, but only if it integrates well with the Sonos system. I love their speakers (especially with Spotify connect) but when I...

Any reason for that? No front page coverage of the complete collapse of HK for users. Lol
