Apple TV defaults to "Movies" pane displaying inappropriate cover art

Each time the Apple TV sleeps, the default Apple TV display after exiting a screen mirroring (or Air Play) session is the "Movies" section.  Because the movies section shows a handful of recent movies with their cover art, we are finding a lot of inappropriate images flashing on the screen.  Because our work takes place in education, there are whole classrooms full of students, paretns, and teachers that are exposed to inappropriate images that inculde suggestive images and titles.
My company does one-to-one technology deployments in schools.  We deploy only Apple products and each classroom is equipped with an ATV for screen mirroring purposes.  I continuously have to show my teachers how to move the selection box from the "movies" menu icon to the "Settings" menu icon which displays a clean Logo of the ATV rather than a list of recent movies.
Does anyone know of a setting or a way to make the ATV default to the settings pane rather than movies without manually having to select a different option?
Thanks!

We use Apple TV at our Christian School and for Children's Church. Is there any way to have something else show up?

  • When I download a movie from iTunes the cover art disappears. I try get info and add the art, it doesn't show up. So it's just gray. It opens and plays fine. Apple can't figure it out. It's an nas drive. When I use a firewire drive I get the art

    When I download movies from iTunes to my NAS drive, I don't get the cover art. It shows up while its downloading, but when it's finish it disappears. If it has an iTunes extra the cover art is there. I tried get info and add the cover art, it never shows. Regardless of how I add it. Funny thing is, if I download the same movie to my external firewire drive, no problem its there. I've called Apple with no success. I've even tried copying the movie with the art from the firewire drive to replace the file on then NAS drive I still loose the movie cover art. I also tried several times to re download it, no luck. Any ideas? I'm out of ideas.

    Do you have any videos/movies in the video app?
    In iTunes if you right click on the video and select Get Info and go to the Option tap what Media Type is shown?

  • IPod does not display album cover art

    I recently updated to iTunes 9 and also bought a new MacBook Pro. Then I synced my old iPod color with my new Mac. Since then my iPod does not display the album art work anymore. I was looking through iTunes 9 for the option to display the artwork on the iPod because I remembered that setting from older versions but could not find it. Does iTunes 9 just asume my iPod can't display covers because it is a 4th gen even though it is the color version?

    hi mduran, no i could not find any solution. My iPod (60gb, probably the same as yours) is filled to the top and has been before the iTunes update and then it worked fine. I think this is a bug in iTunes. It's interesting to see that this happens in the Mac and Windows version of iTunes. Is there any way of telling Apple about that so it will be in the next update?

  • Movies do not run and cover art is missing in iTunes Mac after sync with iPad

    I down load purchased movies from Apple to my iPad.  The movies runs fine and cover art is visible.  Great.  However, after I sync with my Mac Mini, the cover art on my iPad is missing.  The cover art in the iTunes library on my Mac Mini is missing, and the movies won't run on the Mac Mini.  Whe I re-sync, I get a message that says the movie can't sync because it can't be found.

    Is your album cover issue resolved?
    If not, have you perhaps tried to disable iTunes Match on your iPhone (in Settings) and signed out of your Apple ID (on the phone)? This might work.
    The issue seems to be that the iTunes Match server does not update all the tracks with the new album cover art, particularly if you added the covers some time after importing the CD's (remember then that there was no cover art on some of them!)
    Another possible solution is to rename the iTunes database (.itl file) by appending say "old" (without the quotes) and recreate a new one with maybe 1 or 2 albums, wait for the server to match the tracks (you can check on your iPhone after disabling and then re-enabling iTunes Match on the phone), then delete the 1 or 2 albums so that the iTunes music library is empty and wait again; you can check the iPhone again.
    Finally, quit iTunes, delete the latest database and rename the original database with its original name (by removing the "old" appendage).
    Then let iTunes Match reload the server with all the information: this might take a few minutes (hours?) depending on the size of the library.
    In the meantime you can remove all the music on the iPhone by disabling iTunes Match in the phone's settings.

  • I have songs on my iPhone 5 that have been purchased through iTunes that isn't displaying cover art. Please help!

    I have a few songs, quite a few actually, that have been purchased through iTunes and they aren't displaying the cover art on my iPhone. They have previously, but now for some reason it has stopped. Only on a few.
    Can anyone help me?
    I have the latest version of iTunes and I'm using a PC with Windows 7.

  • My apple tv main menu no longer displays the "movies" section, just internet, computers, and settings. Does anyone know why or how to get it back up? Recently rented a movie directly through apple tv but can't see the movies section in main menu now.

    My apple tv main menu no longer displays the "movies" section, just internet, computers, and settings. Does anyone know why or how to get it to show again? Recently rented a movie directly through apple tv but can't see the "movies" section in main menu now. WiFi and home sharing are working.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Check the location setting for the iTunes Store is correct.
    You might also try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    If you are still having problems try a restore.

  • Why are iMovie events (2400 of them) shown in the iDVD movies pane along with my iMovie projects (12 of them)?

    Why are iMovie events (2400 of them) shown in the iDVD movies pane along with my iMovie projects (12 of them)?

    Sorry about the delay in responding, I've been putting up with a very slow iDVD, but now I'm fed up with it again. My version of iDVD is 7.1.2 (1158) running in Mac OS X, version 10.6.8, with 3.2GHz and i3 processor, 4GB of memory, on a desktop iMac. My version of iMovie'11 is 9.0.4 (1634).
    I can stop iDVD from showing iMovie EVENTS (now 3247 of them) in its Media pane under Movies, by moving the iMovie Events folder from the iMovie folder ( that iDVD ALWAYS looks in) to somewhere else in that Directory (where I store all my data, and which I have named "browning").  But then iMovie can't display the EVENTS, because it is looking in the wrong place. So, how can I save iMovie Events in another folder (not iMovies) but somewhere where iMovie will find them?
    Is there a method to change the default folders for iMovie and/or iDVD? How does iMovie know where the iMovie default directory is?
    Should I put iMovie into the "Main" Mackintosh HD directory?
    The Apple Store in Bath, UK, couldn't help, but surely I'm not the only iDVD user who is annoyed with this process?
    HELP, please

  • The ToC node is not getting selected although the help result pane displays the correct help page

    I have followed steps given below for a merged project system:-
    1.  I created 3 projects Module_1 and Module_2.
    2. Created the CHM output for the above 2 projects.
    3.  Created a Main project.
    4.  Merged the above 2 CHM in the project.
    5.  Created a new window and added Main.hhc in the TOC option under advance properties.
    6. Generated html output for entire project Main.chm.
    7. Decompile the ‘Main.chm’ and extracted the ToC file ‘Main.hhc’.
    8. For each module project, imported ‘Main.hhc’ as a Baggage File, created window definitions same as Main project and with reference to ‘Main.hhc’.
    9. Again generated html output for all the modules and copied both the CHM at the same place.
    10. Now regardless of my entry point I am able to see entire ToC.
    Issue: When I open Module_1.chm, the chm is displayed as follows, but Main book is highlighted instead of module 2 Book. As I have selected both the options, i.e. Auto-synchronize ToC and Always Show Selection option (when generating chm), Module 1 book should get selected.
    Is there a way to control the selection in the LHS pane?  I am working on a project which has 15 module chms and the chms are integrated with the application. When I press F1 on a module, the default topic is getting displayed and the respective module is not selected in the LHS pane.

  • I still distribute most FCP projects via DVD. No matter which MPEG2 setting I use in Compressor 4 I get an error - even Apple's default DVD setting. Has anybody successfully output an FCP X project to compressor and then out on a DVD?

    I still distribute most FCP projects via DVD. No matter which MPEG2 setting I use in Compressor 4 I get an error - even Apple's default DVD setting. Has anybody successfully output an FCP X project to compressor and then out on a DVD?

    Anthony, thank you very much - this works, though I thought I had tried your process previously without success. I've tried so many things who knows. I've had zero luck going with the Send to Compressor or Export Using Compressor Settings under the Share menu. I'm also finding Compressor 4 to be a real dog on my system even though I have a brand new quad core machine with 8G of RAM. Prior to receiving your post I did come up with a different work process. Using Export Movie from FCP X and then loading the result in Compressor 3 works flawlessly. Thanks again!

  • HT1657 Apple TV stopped my movie rental of 2 Guns after 20 min...pooph! kicked out. No option to see my rentals like I can with my purchases, so re-selected movie and pressed "Rent" again. Message said for me to go to downloads in Settings menu.....so I G

    Message told me to check for downloads in Settings....not very clear....I see others have had this issue since last update. I restarted from Settings and now I am Resetting and doing some sort of update...apparently this problem has been happening since Oct 2013, but I have not rented anything since then.....I am not likely to rent again from Itunes if this is not solved within minutes...wish me luck

    I had this same problem today after renting last night.  I could not find the rented movie and it seemed like i needed to rent it again even though it had been less than 24 hours.  To fix the problem i check to see if the apple tv was up-to-date with the latest software version.  In my case it was not.  I updated the apple tv to the lastest version and now rented movies was displayed along with the time left until the rental expires.  Try updating your apple tv to the lastest version.  Hope this helps.

  • What are the differences between the Apple 64GB iPad Air with Retina Display and the Apple 64 iPad with Retina Display MD512LL/A 4th Generation

    what are the differences between the Apple 64GB iPad Air with Retina Display and the Apple 64 iPad with Retina Display MD512LL/A 4th Generation ?

    The iPad with retina display only comes in the 16GB version and it has the A6 processor which is a step down from the Air model. Having said that, I stream movies on my iPad 3 with retina and it has the A5 processor and the movies stream just fine as does everything else that I do on the internet.
    If 16GB is enough storage for you, the $100 savings compared to an iPad Air model is a fair amount of money and that might sway me if I was just worried about saving some money. However, that's not my style. I always go for the largest capacity that I can afford and the faster processor if I have the choice.
    Having said that, if it were me, I would select the 32 GB iPad Air. But in spite of the information that you provided in which you want to base your decision, only you can be the judge of what will be best for you, and remember that you cannot add storage capacity to the decide later. You can purchase external WiFi drives if you need the storage, but to me, that takes away from having the really small footprint and portability of only having to carry the iPad around gives you.

  • Is there a way to default the monthly calendar display so that the current day always shows on top?

    Is there a way to default the monthly calendar display
    so that the current day always shows on top? ie, I want to always be able to see what's in the future 3-4 weeks, not what's in the past 3-4 weeks. The default monthly display is archaic--only allows you to see through the last day of the month. Suddenly today
    is Oct. 30th, and I have a ton of projects lined up in November, but because I haven't been scrolling down every day, I haven't been aware of them every day. I realize there are other tools in Microsoft to help me stay on task, such as reminders and such,
    but it would be helpful if I could always have the current day display on top of the monthly view so I can quickly scan what's coming up in the next few weeks. 

    Thank you!
    Right, I already have it in Month view. My question is a little more specific--I'd like for the current day to always display at the top. For example, today is Oct. 31st, so the current day is at the bottom of the calendar since it is the last day of the month.
    I can view everything in October that I've already completed. What I can't see are the future weeks because we haven't hit November yet. I'd like for the current day to always display at the top of my calendar so I can always see what's coming in the following
    three - four weeks (whether they're a part of that month or not). I've been to other forums trying to find the answer, and have come across the same exact question from frustrated users--but there seemed to be no solution. So I'm posing the question myself
    in this forum. Do you know if this is possible? What I found from other forums is that Outlook defaults to a physical 'desk' type calendar format--so just as I'd use a paper calendar at my desk, I wouldn't be able to see the following weeks unless I either
    flip the page to that month or I come to the first day of the next month, thereby tearing the the old month off and now only able to see the current month. That format is just so...paper...and archaic! Essentially I want the calendars to loop so it doesn't
    even really matter what month it is--I just always want to see what lies ahead without having to scroll down. With our being in the Technology Age, I'd assume this is a logical expectation, but we may be stuck with the replica version of the paper-desk-calendar
    format until Outlook programmers add this Technology Age feature in newer versions.  
    See, this month kind of messed me up because I have so many projects for November that start tomorrow and next week, but I haven't seen them until this week. I would have been better quipped--at least expecting them--had I been able to see all of those projects
    since last week or the week prior.  
    If there is no solution to this answer, would you know how I can contact Outlook to provide feedback? I'm guessing a newer version is on its way...
    Thanks again in advance!
