3rd generation of Apple tv could connect a bluetooth keyboard, why don't 4th gen a pair?

Being a community from user to user, anyone here can answer 'why' Apple chooses to do anything. However, it seems that keyboard support was included in the recent release to the devs...

    When I try to update my Apple tv;

    This message always (the update has failed.)!

    Welcome to the Apple community.

    You don't need an ispw file.

    1. Remove all cables from the Apple TV. (if you have not you won't see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    2. Connect the USB micro cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    3. Plug power supply (only for the Apple TV 3)
    4. Open iTunes.
    5. Select your Apple TV in the devices list, and then click on restore.

    (You already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital devices)

    If your Apple TV fails to restore via iTunes...

    • Check that you have properly followed the instructions for your model of Apple TV.
    • If this is not the case, already, try using a powered USB port.
    • Repeat the process, but this time try to connect the cable while iTunes is closed.
    • Repeat the process with another cable.
    • Try to restore the Apple TV on another computer at another location.

    Hello and welcome to the HP support community!

    Normally, if you don't have any peripheral BlueTooth enabled is close and turn on the keyboard, the right must find each other and connect (if a successful matching has been done previously).

    I am now typing this on my old Palm BlueTooth Folding keyboard on a Tablet HP Pro slate 12 5.1.1 Android running.  She was immediately after I turned it on.

    Looking for paired keyboard settings, I see no such "connect automatically".  He just needs to connect.

  • 3rd generation Apple TV stopped seeing all wi - fi networks.

    3rd generation Apple TV suddenly stopped to see Wi - Fi.  I bought an Apple TV 3rd generation (stupidly) shortly before the 4th generation came out.  But it works fine for the short time I've had it.  However, I moved it to a larger TV this weekend so we could use the new HBO subscription now (and look at the vinyl with a bigger screen and better speakers) and he would suddenly see a wi - fi network.  Then I brought it back to the original location and it will not always see the networks.  It's almost like unplug it killed, but that can't be true! What is going on?  I tried to plug it into my new laptop running latest everything, with a mini-usb cable, but iTunes doesn't recognize.  The white light at the front of the Apple TV flashes quickly.  I think it would still be on the one year warranty, but I can't find my receipt.  However, it looks more like something weird network.  My modem comcast/xfinity wi - fi still works with all other devices in the House. iPhones, iPads, computers laptops. I don't want to buy a new one.  It then he darn, it should still work.  This happened to someone else?  Thank you.

    If the white light flashes quickly then you need to restore via iTunes

    Mmake sure that you follow the delicate steps (disconnect all cables, connect the USB microphone, plug). Connect directly to the computer, try another USB microphone cable (make sure it is capable of data transfer, if it has been delivered with another device, then it can be scheduled for the device)

  • Is there a way for Netflix to Macbook Apple TV airplay (3rd generation)

    Hello.

    I just got an apple TV (3rd generation) and I have a Macbook pro 15 2012 model late retina. The Netflix on Apple TV app works fine for me, but her thing is that my parents or my girlfriend need of subtitles in the language which is not offered by netflix, so I need to add subtitles external source and I can do that on the Macbook. However, Netflix doesn't let me airplay Macbook from Apple tv, which gives me a display error, and I suggest that I make sure that I am not not using airplay to fix. Is there a way to get around this restriction?

    Hello. I think it's a restriction built into the Netflix app so it is probably pretty hard to beat. You could try mirroring, that might work. Incidentally, when you use the basic AirPlay, ATV will flow the video directly from the server, so your subtitles does not appear anyway.

  • Apple TV Remote 3rd generation pairing

    We have just received new internet, and I went to put in the new network outside of apple TV. When I click on the remote control the Apple TV blinks 3 times (white light) and I can't move the cursor. I tried to restart my Apple TV and using my remote of my phone app, but I think that the network is not connected to the Apple TV is not to answer. Help?

    Thank you

    The three lights tells the ATV is ignorant of the remote control.  To fix this simply cancel the twinning of the remote control:

    Pair or cancel the twinning of the Apple Remote with Apple TV (3rd generation or earlier)-Apple Support

    Of course, you must use the second method mentioned since you can't navigate through the menus.
