    Remote file sharing on Mac

    Is there any way that I can share files and folders with my family by turning my Mac mini into some kind of server letting everyone in the family connect from their devices remotely? I would like to avoid paying monthly for an app that does this if possible – I've searched online and wasn't...

    AppleTV remote malfunction

    It has happened a few times already that my Apple TV remote gets "stuck" sending the same input over and over again. It usually happens with the volume up button, which makes it all the more annoying cause the volume will almost instantly jump to 100. I knew the problem was with the remote as...

    Apple Music Apple Music remote control

    Good Morning, I have enjoyed using Apple Music and iTunes and the remote app for many years. With the remote app, a very convenient function is to be able to control iTunes from your iPhone. My use is very simple, when I use iTunes I put the cover of the album in full screen, with the lyrics of...

    Apple Tv 3rd Gen 4k Remote issues

    I set up a new 3rd gen Apple TV on an 85” Sony Bravia tv. I mounted it to the top right corner of the tv. The Apple TV remote went bonkers scrolling left and down and generally not working. I paired a new unused remote and it did the same thing. I moved the Apple TV to the bottom of the tv and...

Any fixes...

    Still Having Issues Selecting the Subtitles Button on Apple TV

    I was hoping iOS 16 would have resolved this, but selecting the subtitles button while watching a show on Apple TV using the Control Center Apple TV remote is still an issue. I can sometimes get to it if I skip up several times, but most of the time, I can’t. Are there any tips or tricks to...

    Remove an Apple TV from Remote in Control Center?

    I did a factory reset on an older Apple TV, but it still shows up in the drop-down of Apple TVs from “Choose a TV” in the remote function in Control Center. Is there a way to remove this?

    New Apple TV Remote Mute Button…

    Who asked for this stupid mute button… and right in the same place where you’ve been trained to press play/pause all these years… so annoying… if I wanted the sound to stop I’d hit pause… I can think of far more useful buttons if they were gonna add stuff….

    New ATV remote delay

    Every time I boot the ATV up the volume/back buttons are always lagging/delayed slightly. Only a restart or re-pairing (hold volume up + back button) fixes it. It happens 100% of the time on initial power on. Tried resets, hdmi cords etc. Is this common with os 15? Seemed to happen after updating.

    Can Apple TV Remote Be Programmed to Skip Forward/backward 10 Seconds in YouTube App?

    The Apple TV control center app in iOS/iPadOS has buttons to skip forward or go backward 10 seconds, which I use all the time when watching YouTube. When clicking the direction wheel on the new Apple TV remote, it doesn't do that. Curious if there is a way to achieve this.

    Apple Remote Desktop

    Does Apple Remote Desktop allow connections to Mac-Mini-M1's outside! of the same network with login screen access (no monitor connected)? (aka. does it work like teamviewer)? (one time payment of 80usd sounds better to me than 30usd for teamviewer every month)

    It’s hard to see from the picture below but if you run your finger up the top left of the remote you can feel the black plate is hanging off just a little. If you run your finger down the top right in the remote you can feel that the plate isn’t flush with the body of the remote. And that their...
