    Apple TV Does anyone know why I have that waffle pattern on my remote? I works perfectly fine, but can’t remove the waffle imprint. Wondered if it’s just an imperfection? I thought it was just smudges but after trying to buff away, it never does. Wondered if others have this pattern?

    How can I set up Apple TV 3 with no bluetooth and no remote?

    Posted: 16 May 2020 06:33 PM PDT

    I bought an ATV3 off ebay and it shipped without the remote. I tried doing a factory reset + update to 8.4.4 with a miscrousb and successfully got the set up screen when I plugged it back into my TV.

    At first my ATV was discoverable in my iPhone and MacBook, but they failed to connect. Then I downloaded Cider TV and my MacBook suddenly asked if I wanted to connect to my ATV. I got in and logged it into my WiFi, pulling up the home screen. Before I could connect my phone as a remote, the bluetooth dropped out and now my ATV isn't even discoverable in bluetooth. I can still AirPlay from my iPhone and MacBook for some reason.

    So:

    • I have no remote
    • My ATV bluetooth appears to be broken
    • It is connected to WiFi and I can AirPlay
    • My iPhone detects it in the remote app and says to enter the code into my ATV, but I need to enter it in Settings.
    • When I try to factory reset again I get an error message: "The Apple TV software update server could not be contacted. The requested resource was not found."

    TLDR: My ATV is connected to WiFi and is on the home screen, but I don't have a remote or bluetooth. How can I control it and set up a remote?

    Also I have already contacted the seller, and will buy a replacement remote or return it if nothing works. Just hoping I can do something without those resorts.

    Home sharing for Apple TV not working? Help please? :)

    Posted: 17 May 2020 02:58 AM PDT

    Hi everyone! Purchased a new IPad recently and with it comes the 1 year free Apple TV+ subscription. I have added my partner into family sharing so that he gets access to the subscription too. For some reason, while he can see that I have added him as family sharing, he doesn't seem to get the subscription access to Apple TV+. It kept asking him to sign up for the 1 week free trial or paid subscription. I cant seem to find any troubleshooting FAQs on Apple site, hence am hoping someone here knows what additional steps I need to take to get him to my Apple TV+ subscription. Note, we are both using iPads.

    Thanks in advance. :)

    Need help with ATV 4K + LG OLED

    Posted: 16 May 2020 12:31 PM PDT

    I keep reading conflicting information about how to properly set these two up together.. My main issue that I seem to be having is anytime I watch something that may or may not be Dolby Vision, the ATV will kick to a black screen very briefly (1-2 secs) when I go back to a menu. Once the menu comes up it will display the Dolby logo in the top right corner, but my assumption is this is because I have Dolby Vision set as the default video output? I've read I should set my default output to 4K SDR or HDR and let the ATV kick into Dolby Vision when available. Just curious what people's experiences are.

    Does apple allow you to change billing countries yet?

    Posted: 16 May 2020 06:16 PM PDT

    A reason I abandoned the apple ecosystem many years ago was that while living overseas for work I couldn't simply change my billing country to my new location and keep my library. I had to make a whole new account.

    I'd like to think this has improved since then....has it? Can I change my library from it's country of origin to my new location?

    How to receive the offer on a different apple account?

    Posted: 16 May 2020 04:13 PM PDT

    Hi, I am new to the Apple world and apologies if this is a silly question. When I purchased a new iPhone XS a few days ago I got an offer 1-year free apple TV subscription. But I don't want to avail that offer with the default account I logged in the first time. How can I get the same offer on a different apple account? Thanks in advance!

    Can you share a file between an Apple TV and a Mac trough the lan?

    Posted: 16 May 2020 10:11 PM PDT

    I use my Mac with the old macOS server file sharing functionality, so I usually share movies between my Mac and my parents windows computers. I have a 2 Tb movie library on my Mac, so it's not easy to "move". Is it possible to share a movie directly from my Mac to an Apple TV through lan?

    Can you watch videos that have been imported on your Macbook TV App on your Apple TV?

    Posted: 16 May 2020 10:07 PM PDT

    My apple tv is still in the mail, so I can't test this myself. I dragged and dropped a 16GB 4K movie I had saved on my computer, and it's showing up in the TV App on my macbook, but it didn't seem to download it or anything, it's just sort of there. I'm curious if I will be able to watch this on my Apple TV? When I check the apple tv app my other devices like my iphone, I don't see the video there. If it works, does it only show up on the Apple TV device? Thanks!

    ATV4K died during streaming....any ideas?

    Posted: 16 May 2020 09:08 PM PDT

    My 2 year, 3 month old ATV4K powered out right in the middle of streaming AT&T TV. Now it won't power on. No lights. Nothing.

    Any ideas for how to revive it, salvage it?

    HELP - ATV4K crashes when scrolling quickly through albums

    Posted: 16 May 2020 08:53 PM PDT

    I have a repeatable bug that I wasn't able to find a solution to using my google-fu.

    Like the title says, in the music app on the Apple TV if view my music by album then scroll quickly the app will crash.

    I've tried the following:

    Checking for a software update

    Restarting ATV

    Logging out/in of iCloud

    Logging out/in of iTunes

    Resetting the ATV to factory settings

    None of these appeared to work, which leads me to believe it's a software issue unless one you much smarter people know of a solution.

    As an aside, it's not really a big deal as I'll use Siri most of the time, it's just an annoyance

    Edit: I've already submitted a bug report to Apple

    Next Apple TV should not be called Apple TV

    Posted: 16 May 2020 08:35 PM PDT

    It would be confusing if the hardware and software have the same name.

    It should be named something like Apple TV Pod, Apple Home Box or Apple TV Base.

    Horrible streaming quality on my 4th gen Apple TV 4k

    Posted: 16 May 2020 01:17 PM PDT

    I currently live in Korea and last month or so I could not watch any iTunes movies/tv series. 4k was definitely possible, but from last month or so I can't even get 360p, that is if I can get it to play.

    I've reset it twice, and it does have the latest software. I even got an ethernet cable and I get steady 400Mbps measured on my ATV.

    I just can't wrap my head around why this is happening other than the fact that there must be some problem with iTunes server connection. Does anyone have similar problems in East Asia? Or is it just me?

    Why do aerial screensavers I get vary based on dynamic range?

    Posted: 16 May 2020 11:51 AM PDT

    The screensavers I get between Dolby Vision or SDR are all different, and also most of the time when I have SDR on by default I only get 1 single screensaver which is incredibly annoying seeing the same 1 cycle over and over.

    Any fix for this? Thanks

    Problem: Comedy Central pauses its content after commercials. I must hit play to resume.

    Posted: 16 May 2020 11:24 AM PDT

    Anyone else has this problem? I mostly use the app to watch The Daily Show, but after the set of commercials, I have to resume playback because it pauses. There are 3 commercial breaks per 1/2hr show and this happens every single time. This has happened to me on Apple TV HD and Apple TV 4K.

    How to use Apple TV on a windows PC?

    Posted: 16 May 2020 03:09 PM PDT

    I recently got a free subscription to AppleTV+ and decided to check it out.

    Well, that wasn't so easy. In fact, I can't figure out how to do it with a Windows PC. Is it intentionally the lousiest website in the world, or am I missing something?

    If I go to tv.apple.com, all I get is a (pretty) list of 25-something shows to watch. That's it. Literally nothing more. No Categories (not even "Movies" and "Series"), no search, no lists, nothing. The whole selection in its entirety that is available is the list of 25-odd shows on the page. And yes, I have signed on. And I can see my valid subscription on the settings page. And I can watch any of those 25 shows that are available on the front page. But that's it.

    Is AppleTV+ really that? Is that ALL it provides? 25 shows? Because a) I refuse to believe it, b) if it is, it's the stupidest deal on the planet, which again, I don't think Apple is particularly known for doing.

    I've tried a few browsers, but there's virtually no difference. The available selection is the 25.

    How do I search? How do I browser ANYTHING other than those front page offerings? If I try to open "Movies" via iTunes, that just shows movies that I can rent and/or buy. the TV series on iTunes just literally shows Series that are added to my Library - and no way to add them, not even a "Store" button.

    Windows PCs are listed as compatible devices, but... Is that really the entirety of the selection from AppleTV+?

    Shared apple ID for 2 ATV's, want to logout of apps

    Posted: 16 May 2020 07:52 AM PDT

    Hi!

    So I have a question about having 2 ATV's connected to the same ID. An ex has the 2nd apple TV and both are able to access all the previously purchased movies.

    If I logout of apps on my ATV such as Netflix and Hulu and log into new accounts will that have any effect on the 2nd ATV? Will it change their Netflix account to my new one?
