4th gen Apple tv doesn't remember connection

I bought a 4th gen Apple tv to replace my 2nd generation it about 3 months ago. My girlfriend and I have a id iTunes and one account and both are set up on the new Apple TV. On the older, we could switch between his ID and mine, based on content, we wanted to see (each of buy us our TV shows or movies). With the 4th gen ATV, it requires the password whenever we change my account to hers, and vice versa. How can I configure the ATV to remember (not required) our passwords each time we have ID?

Maybe it's not possible, see https://help.apple.com/appletv/#/atvb0753b37d. Family sharing might work, but their 'parent' allows you to pay for everything.

  • Apple TV remote turns on randomly 4th Gen Apple TV

    Hi guys,.

    I have a 4th gen Apple TV for Christmas at work. It's pretty convenient, but it's a very weird thing: the remote control sends signals randomly when nobody is in contact with it, in fact, nobody is there, everyone is metres from the remote control. Since Apple TV is connected to my TV which is capable of HDMI-CEC, it also turns on the TV. Sometimes without any model, when we sit in the corner opposite of the same room, or at random times of the day or even at night. Sometimes I go out in the middle of the night to check on our little girl and I see that the TV is on. Apple TV will switch to standby after a certain time, but since it does not send SIGNAL to the TV via CEC, the TV stays on. Sometimes I stop the movie I'm watching something and when I come back, film runs and minutes. This causes me a real headache, not to mention that it also adds the power bills, especially when we leave for a weekend and I come home that the TV is on...

    Did any of you ever heard, or it's a faulty remote with a contact problem around the buttons that need to be replaced? If the first case, how can I fix this, if the latter, will change any Apple retailer for me? There is no Apple store dedicated to Christchurch, New Zealand. My employer has ordered hundreds of Apple TV Online.

    Thank you

    I don't have to assume that someone else uses one of the old silver remotes close to Apple TV or if someone could play a joke on you with a distance more or the Apple remote on their phone app.

    There was a small number of reports related to the buttons on the remote apparently stick and sending several times the same command, but I don't think I've seen all the reports to work intermittently on his own.

    I've seen reports where network activity has awoken from previous models, but never where this kind of activity began a movie plays when he suspended.

    I think that a good start in the resolution of what is going on here is to know if these red orders arrive via bluetooth, IR, or wifi, you could start by covering the unit to the rule (or in) re.

  • 4th generation Apple TV doesn't appear in itunes sync window cannot have content. Home sharing is on.

    4th generation Apple TV doesn't appear in itunes sync window cannot have content. Home sharing is on. Can not download music from my itunes library on the apple TV. Had a previous 1st Gen Apple TV. Any help would be great. Thank you

    The Apple TV is a device of broadcast rather than a storage device. You would home sharing and local stream your iTunes library via share house or stream content providers online who have released apps the App Store, such as Netflix, Hulu, Crackle, HBO etc would allow you to icloud photos and stream iCloud. But you won't actually store all personal data on the device ATV4 himself that the feature was available on the first generation...

  • 4th gen Apple TV WiFi Bridge.

    The 4th gen apple TV can be used as a wireless bridge? I have an Airport Express do this and he's sitting right next to my new Apple TV, just want to get rid of the Express if it is not necessary.

    # The Apple Tv is not a Wifi router.  It cannot act as a bridge.

    The AirPort Express is still necessary.

  • 4th gen Apple TV format not compatible with Apple TV

    I just bought the new generation 4, Apple TV, but I get an error message "no compatible with Apple TV format" for files .mp4 I used to be able to play on the 3rd generation Apple TV.  They don't seem to work on the 4th generation is this a bug or a Apple mp4 formats which can be played on the 4th gen apple TV changed?

    Check your files against this list of formats supported. If they do not match, you would have to re-encode your files.

  • Apple TV 4th gen: video stutters/buffers when bluetooth connected to headset Motorola SS9 - HD

    Nice day!  My new Apple TV 4th gen: video stutters/pads several times when connected in bluetooth for headset Motorola S9 - HD.  Normal play time before the start of the stuttering/buffering is about 15 seconds.  The headphone stops also in stuttering.  After that the buffer of spinning button stops, all goes back to normal until the next cycle.  This happens on all video activity of any source.  If I disconnect the headset in the bluetooth settings, everything is completely OK.  This is a brand new Apple TV 4, with the latest updates.  This stuttering also occurs when of the Air Airplaying of my iPad, or if playback purchased iTunes movies.

    The main reason for the purchase of this 4th Apple TV:

    1. availability of the App Store of Apple TV.

    2. ability to connect his bluetooth headset and ensure the privacy of the other

    3. the beautiful screensavers.

    4. menu main display and interface.

    5. Siri Remote.

    Others have run into this problem?  Is it known to be a workaround?

    Thank you very much for your time.

    Bill

    I wanted to add to my previous question that I tested the speed of the WiFi using my iPad Air in the same room with the Apple TV 4. Used SpeedOf.Me Lite and went up 23 Mbps download and shipping.

    Should have mentioned this in the original post.

  • 4th gen Apple TV cannot pair with iphone remote app

    Click on 'Add Apple TV' selected on TV, then was invited to enter the 4 numbers matching password shown on television. However the TV shows 4 blocks of gray rectangle instead of 4 digits.

    I also checked that the apple TV and iphone are on the last OS update. What gives? This app is supposed to work with 4th gen now.

    Yes, it works. This looks like some weird glitch. Using the new application ATV 4 remote control (black), or the older version, now called iTunes remotely? Try restarting the ATV using the settings > system > restart. Then try to pair it again.

  • 4th gen Apple TV Wifi issues

    My 4th generation Apple TV has problems with wifi. Every day when the apple TV goes to sleep he loses the credentials of wifi OR it does not attach to my wifi network. I have to use the apple remote to tether to wifi. I tried Gz 2,4 and 5, and I see the same question. I TVOS 9.1.1 (last updated) Apple. I even got a replacement from apple TV and I still see the same question.

    Called apple care and they asked me to change the channel on my router. Even after changing the channel, I still see the same question.

    Concrete results so far.

    1. channel change

    2 tried gz 2,4 and 5

    3. change to apple TV

    4. do you have the latest TVOS (9.1.1)

    Zawartocs wireless router: Asus RT-AC87u. I have 20 other devices that connect to my router without problems. It is the only device that has problems.

    Ideas please to fix the problem.

  • 4th gen Apple TVRemoteWon can't hold a charge

    Recently my ATV 4 distance began to unload completely in just a few days, rather than the promised several weeks and as he recently are someone else has this problem?

    I called Apple support and they sent me a new replacement. It works very well in all its forms, but also will not hold a charge more for about a week or two. I found it completely discharged tonight, such that it wouldn't work at all, even if I've completely charged about two weeks ago.

    It is now clear that this should not be the fault of the remote, but maybe some correlation between this one and the Apple TV itself. He would have to do with a Bluetooth problem? In the menu of the ATV, I saw that it had detected the Bluetooth entry to my TV, but that it was not connected. It is trying to connect and wasting energy? I do not have direct control over the TV Bluetooth, but it controls via the Apple TV 4 using the HDMI-CEC capabilities that work well.

    I had 4 ATV for nearly a year. It has always worked well, and this remote discharge problem only started a few weeks ago. I brought no changes to system before this problem appeared.

    Any ideas on why the two remotes in a row see this problem in my system?

    Have to introduce any other electrical devices in the room. Is there anyone in your household who might be using the remote control for the games.

  • How to select songs on the 4th gen Apple TV? Really... (OS 10 tv)

    Seriously, is there an EASY way to choose the songs or artist on the Apple TV?

    I can't believe that it should be this hard. I am a subscriber of Apple's music is my iTunes stuff in the cloud and see Apple TV. Everything is good. Random play is ok.

    But when I want to play an album by an artist of some, that's where the trouble begins. I have the music so that if I wanted to play something of an artist who is towards the end of the list, I have to scroll through all along, that takes forever with this remote control (which I hate). I did find a work around. Do you have?

    At first, I couldn't find the name of the artists, that would help a lot of filtering. I couldn't find a way to access some letters to speed up the selection.

    If I accidentally leave the list of artists, then I find myself at the top of the list of return! It hurts...

    Apple TV app on the iPhone is ridiculous. It is only a mirror of the Apple Remote hardware. There is no additional functionality for the collection of the artist or a song directly from there.

    Please don't suggest using a mac or ios device to listen to my music, it's inpractical in my case. Apple TV should justify its price to pay by giving all round independent musicplaying service.

    SO, what would be an EASY way to choose the songs or artist on the Apple TV?

    Really don't know what you're doing, but I'm not all that hard.

    First I will say that in general I just ask siri play an album that she does.

    However there are times where I don't remember the names of all the albums, in such cases (let's go with the stones on this one), I dictate "Rolling Stones" in the search field, select it in the list that appears, and then switch the selection of Apple's music to my library, I have now www all my stones albums that I have in my library listed. If I don't want to dictate, and then usually by typing 'ROL' is sufficient to have "Rolling Stones" appears in the list.

  • Expandable storage on 4th Gen Apple TV fault

    I had a thought, but could not verify the theory because I don't currently have an available external hard drive.

    I'm leaning towards a big NO fat on it, but is there a gap in the 32/64 GB of storage to the new AppleTV where you can plug in an external drive (Time Capsule, for example) via Ethernet and network storage to the AppleTV? It seems that you would need a tangible GUI, but seems almost possible.

    Thoughts?

    No escape, we don't discuss such things here.

    However, you can download and use applications such as the Plex (not a recommendation) that will read your media on a network (not physically connected to the Apple TV) drive, it still won't work of course with purchases on the iTunes store, which will be played through iTunes on a computer or over the internet.
