    Everything you mentioned on this UA-cam helped me with my Apple TV. I still have an old (11year old) plasma tv ….. not smart at all but I use my Apple TV to get access to streaming services. The tv also doesn’t have Bluetooth so I’m happy to know I can purchase AirPods Pro & connect them via Apple TV so I can watch tv without disturbing others in the house. I greatly appreciate the information you shared. Thank you so much 😊

    I don’t think there’s any point manually closing an app unless it has an issue. Just like with iOS, although the app is “open”, I’m sure tvOS manages apps well enough on its own. If it’s running out of RAM, then I would expect it to start automatically closing apps.

    The 4th gen is a huge lead from the 3rd gen by the simple fact that you can install additional apps on the 4th gen. I was gifted a 3rd gen and use it mainly as an iPhone mirroring device. If I could install more apps to the 3rd gen like I know you can with a 4th gen I'd switch to using it for streaming apps to my TV instead of my Chromecast.

Question: during the last software update suddenly the power was cut off for an hour or so and after it came back on the software update did not continue but the Apple TV froze instead just only blinking the light. Whatever I tried nothing worked. It a 4K Apple TV so no jack for an USB -C jack. If you could help with a solution would be great. Thanks a million in advance. Regards from Netherlands. Jan

    Another tip that very few people talk about or even mention is if you have multiple Apple TVs is you can sync the home screens on all of them if they are all using the same iCloud account. This feature, if you decide to use it, keeps all of the apps in the same place across each Apple TV you own. It is called One Home Screen. When you set up a new Apple TV it will ask if you want to use One Home Screen or not. If you choose to use it it will automatically download on place the apps you have in the same place on all home screens. You can also turn it on or off by going into settings then users and accounts then selecting the main users name and you will find it under iCloud. This feature is great, if you delete an app or download a new one it will automatically download or delete it on all of the Apple TVs you have. It will also keep the apps in the same order across all of the home screens so you know exactly were the app is on each home screen. You don’t have to go to each Apple TV and delete or download the same app manually, it will do it for you.

      I don't believe you can share directly to the Apple TV without Wifi I'm afraid. Airplay works by sharing the content over your wifi network (in this case, your corporate one). Does your company have a 'guest' wifi you could log both into? Something less strict perhaps than the main corporate one?

      If the TV that you’re going to be watching on doesn’t support Dolby Vision, then unfortunately regardless of what you hook up to it, you won’t be able to view Dolby Vision. You’d need to ensure you get a TV that supports Dolby Vision if you want to make the most of this feature in Apple TV 4K. But to be fair, if your TV supports HDR10, you’ll still get a very high quality output, even if it’s not Dolby Vision.

    Best to not tell people to "get in the habit" of force closing apps. That's not what the feature is designed for. Force closing apps to free memory was necessary in older operating systems but not in iOS today. iOS already removes app from memory when needed. It's a complete waste of time to force close apps "as a habit". This should be reserved for when an particular app is not working right and might need to be force closed to and restarted. When I see people force closing apps on their iPhones thinking it "speeds up their phone" or "saves memory" I can't help but roll my eyes and think about how much time they must waste doing this multiple times a day.

    • @ProperHonestTech
      @ProperHonestTech  3 роки тому +2

      Yes, I’ve been told this multiple times now so it won’t be advised in future videos. Unfortunately, Apple have been very good at telling people about the feature over the past few years, but not communicating that people should not be closing apps down, so it’s not surprising many people (myself included) have believed this was a best practice.
