Apple TV PBS app missing

The Apple TVs PBS app is missing from the main screen.
I have had no problem watching PBS the other day so I know everything is set up correctly.
I tried restarting the device twice with no change in the problem. Can somebody please help me with this or at least give me some suggestions as to what to do.
Thanks

Well I had been staying at friends across the border in the usa. Settings were on automatic.
I didn't think anything of it at the time. Just took my Apple TV when I visit because it's so port able .
What a shame pbs is not offered in canada on Apple TV.
What I don't understand is why, as  PBS reaches Canadian viewers on regular air TV and cable TV. Canadians are big $ contributors.

  • Apple Watch Messages app missing contact info?

    Sometime in my fiddling, I managed to break the Messages app. It no longer displays contact names from my iPhone Contacts. I've tried everything shy of resetting the watch. Any thoughts or suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Reported the same issue a week ago: Incorrect sender ID when sending Tap, Heartbeat and Sketch messages.
    Be sure to report this as a bug to Apple: https://www.apple.com/feedback/watch.html

  • PBS APP Streaming Low Quality on NOVA Only

    Hi,
    For the past couple of days or so the PBS App on AppleTV is streaming in low-res for NOVA episodes only (Frontline, for example, is just fine). Is anyone else having this problem? I can't seem to find a support contact email from PBS to contact them directly (is there one?). Just curious if anyone else is having the same problem.
    Thanks,
    George

    After reading the recent news about Netflix paying network interconnection fees and learning more about the CDN/Transit landscape in general, I'm convinced that these performance issues are not directly related to Apple or the Apple TV. It seems that HBO and PBS' CDN or transit provider is experiencing congestion that results in poor performance. I recently read that at least Netflix used a separate CDN for Apple TV streams. If HBO is doing the same thing, then that would explain the performance difference you see between your smart tv and the Apple TV.
    Unfortunately, as consumers I don't think we have much recourse here. Best case scenario, Apple pressures it's content partners to better support the Apple TV, but given that Apple views this product as supportive of the iTunes platform, it seems unlikely we should expect Apple to focus on improving streaming products for competing services.

  • PBS App - Sherlock video choppy

    I just tried watching Sherlock on the PBS app via Apple TV - I have a strong wifi connection and everything else I watch via YouTube or other apps is clear and no trouble.
    I wanted to watch Sherlock series - the video plays but is blocky / choppy - meaning it plays sounds is good but it's like stop motion video - slow enough to be annoying.
    I tried airplay via the Amazon App from iPad 2 - same situation it is same type of view.
    I tried PBS via the website on the iPad - able to airplay to Apple TV and the picture is perfect.
    I would much rather not drain the battery on the iPad and be able to just watch via Apple TV app.
    Any suggestions on what it could be?
    I have updated the Apple TV 2 if that helps.
    Thanks in advance.

    You aren't doing anything wrong. Video airplay support is currently limited to the native video and youtube app. With the update (currently in beta) airplay support will expand as developers will get the necessary tools, but it will be up to them whether they choose to implement the feature.

    Either use the Apple ID you used when you originally purchased the applications or you will have to purchase them using your Apple ID. If you did not have the other Apple ID, then you have the applications illegally or they were improperly included with a computer you purchased from someone else.

    My iPhone 4 with iOS 6 is making me start to hate Apple. Any App and at any time I open and I can not view it or move for more than 2 minutes, they close themselves. During connections, it also gives this problem and the signal disappears after a few seconds back but often the person on the other end has hung up ... I can not stand it anymore, someone suggests something?
    Besides these problems, there is the battery, which was bad got worse, she is not lasting more than 10 hours, even without using the phone.
    Sometimes it even seems that the problem was solved, but my joy did not last long after I celebrate all the problems return, is incredible ...
    thanks.
    Sorry my bad Inglês.

  • How can I edit received emails in Apple's Mail app? Also, delayed sending of replies?

    I finally switched to Apple's Mail app 4 months ago after 12 years of using Eudora (because of the inevitable - that Lion or Mountain Lion, when I upgrade, will not support the foundation architecture that Eudora is built on).
    There are (AT LEAST) two functions available in Eudora that I very much want to do with Mail and currently cannot figure out how to do. I'm hoping that someone knows of a plugin that will do these functions, or will write such a plugin, or will tell me how to make this suggestion to Apple to include in a future update.
    1) I want the freedom to EDIT a received message - to correct a subject line, or make it more relevant for my reference, or add a key word/prefix to the subject for future searching and archiving, along with being able to edit the message itself, so that it is the equivalent in a book (or an eBook) of adding comments/marginalia for future reference. (In my opinion, once I receive an email message, it is MINE - so I should be able to do what I want with it (which includes the responsibility of not rewriting a message to resend to appear as deceptive or fraudulent).
    2) Write up a draft email, that would reside in the "Send" folder of Eudora, and for which I could select a time in the future that it should be mailed (dependent on the fact that Eudora would be running at that time, else it would send the next time Eudora was opened. I would LOVE to be able to do that in Apple Mail. Rationale: Often, when I receive an actionable email, I want to respond at that moment while the subject is fresh, but due to priorities or scheduling reasons, I don't want the response to go out just then. Maybe I want the response to go out after an event three days from now, but I want to process the message right now, and I don't want to have to remember to make a ToDo item to remind me in 3 days.

    Thanks, a brody.
    That tip takes me further down the field. And, I am able to do stuff like indent and change font color of my comments which is very helpful.
    However, the big disappointment is that by dragging the original message to the Draft mailbox and then back to the original one after the edits is that it removes the original sender's name and puts mine in along with changing the heading info on date and time. That is, it creates a new message, rather than allowing me to modify the original one to suit my needs.
    All the same, this was a very helpful tip. Thanks again.
    Anyone know of a plugin?..............or two?....

  • Why is there no "SEARCH OPTION" in the Windows Store? Apps missing be nice if I could find them !

    Since on this journey from Win 8 consumer preview to Win 8 retail preview   ..And no currently trying out Win 8 Pro...It verified if it was gonna give me back ( allowed to re-download ) the apps I was used/had in previous editions. The Store gives you
    a selection of YOU APPS from previous versions of the OS preview of apps you installed and currently would want to reinstall. Various versions of the Consumer preview I installed 2 out the 4 times i installed the OS seen I had installed the app Comixology.
    When the first time I installed Retail preview it didn't have it in my list nor was it listed in the store!  Same goes with Iheart Radio and Slacker Radio though numerous installments of the OS. Now trying out the Win 8 Pro 9200 version It showed I at
    one point no matter what PC I used ( I own a few and bought a new one recently ) It showed at one point I installed Comixology. Yet it didn't show Iheart Radio or Slacker in my install list of old to reinstall nor was it even in the Store!!!!   \\\So
    what the hell gives ?????   I mean If there was a SEARCH Option it would make it easier to track these Metro ( whatever they are calling it now -personally I think they should call it FRAMES as in Window Frames  :P  When you go on these
    programs sites they only offer up Apple or Android app downloads and nothing mentioning of Metro or Win 8 -which is understandable due to not being released yet but still if the Store can't comply with your history of app install base ( paid or free ) and
    you can't have the ability to retrieves said apps you once installed how can that be trusted if and when paid apps are bought if you are only to reinstall the entire OS and find that your app is not obtainable via offered through the main store or even in
    your downloads app install history. I hope they fix this issue as it's been pissing me off since this whole testing thing!!  

    Sorry if I offended you by using an anecdote - the actions of kids are simply an easy way to explore the actions of adults.  Growing up doesn't change base instincts.  Most people (myself included) tend to have an immediate distrust of change when
    it is not change that they are instigating, when it is forced upon them.  What better example is there than a child, where many big decisions are made for them?
    As for the new interface, I didn't catch on until it was revealed to me (or I hit my head against the wall, can't remember), so I'm not saying it is easy.  Better education is needed, but going back to the old way doesn't help.  The five or six
    questions I have answered today are questions that I myself had, and wished someone had answered for me.  This is a
    drastic change from old versions of Windows.  I even told my boss yesterday that I can't see his company (I'm a contractor) switching any time soon - too much new stuff to learn.  That being said, once there are some good training tools available,
    I do believe that this OS will be a good choice - it does feel more intuitive after only a few days of use.  A training course is likely necessary for new users, however my guess is that this will wind up being a beneficial change (long-run)
    for IT departments, because the system does feel more aimed towards the casual user.  No matter what program you use, the search and settings are in one easy place.
    I admittedly do not have a lot of files in my Skydrive, however the file that is there is purple, while the folders are blue.  Not sure if all files are like that, and I really do not have the time to explore those differences.  That being said,
    the number in the bottom-right seems pretty self-explanatory, the number of child elements in the container.  I barely remember the old Skydrive interface, however I do remember it felt clunky.  Whether or not the changes are a true
    improvement, it does feel more streamlined.
    Metro (or whatever it is called now) is confusing.  It is scary.  (My word, not yours, nor am I trying to imply it.)  It is definitely
    different from the past.  But it makes sense.  Same interface on every MS product: Xbox, Windows, and Phone.  Microsoft didn't exactly
    pioneer this idea, either.  Apple has been creeping in that direction for a while now.  As I said previously, I can move around faster in the new Start menu than I could in the old, and I can actually do
    more without ever putting a hand on the mouse - for anyone that is waist-deep in computers, regardless of their specific job, that tends to be a
    good thing.
    There are a lot of growing pains here, for both Microsoft and the consumer.  Has MS gotten it right?  Not yet, not entirely, but the goal is clear.
    If your complaint is on broken
    functionality, then I wouldn't disagree with you.  There is plenty of that, and I think it was a bit foolish of Microsoft not to have a Connect site up for such things.  (If I'm wrong on that, and there is one, please point me that way.  I'm
    still stuck with Explorer.exe crashing from click-scrolling.)
    As for disliking the big changes, well, I can't agree with you on that at all.  Again, it wasn't an easy transition, but now that I'm here, I don't want to go back.  I want the true
    bugs fixed, but not having a search bar seems more like being stuck on old ways of doing things than a real problem.  That kind of thing can even lead to puking.

  • Apple's Mail app keeps jumping away to a different message when syncing....

    Its been an issue since iOS 5.x for me at least.
    I use the Apple Mail app on my iPhone 4s, because simple is good enough.  But has this very annoying tendancy to jump out of the message I'm looking at and pull up another old message in the message view, when it syncs with the various mailboxes.  Always seems to jump to the same old message.
    Any ideas why and how to get Apple to fix thier mail app?  If thats not gonna happen, how do I remove Apple's mail app and point all things mail to a new app of my choosing?
    My setup, I read several mail accounts via the Apple Mail app:
    Gmail EXCHANGE connection ( my main mail account and listed first in the Mailboxes list)
    Another gmail accout, connected as a gmail mail account
    Hotmail account
    When I'm reading (viewing) a message, and a new sync happens, Mail jumps out of the message I was looking at and pulls up an old message from the gmail (as a gmail connection) message (account #2 in the list above).
    Its REALLY annoying.  Syncing is fine, but DO NOT change what the user is viewing as you sync.. why would you?

    Annoyingly still happening in iOS 6.1.3 to this day.
    I'll be reading a message in my main Gmail account, and the Apple Mail app checks for mail and then just jumps to show a message in a completley different mail inbox account .. a message that is rather old even.
    How is this desireable behavior ?
    If someone upgraded to iOS 7.xx and found they had this problem but its since been fixed, please let us know here. 

  • Apple's Videos App on iPad won't load my shared library

    Hi,
    I've been looking for an answer to this problem for ages!
    Symptoms/context:
    You have all your movies onto one big drive
    You have uncheck Preferences|Advanced|"Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library"
    (this way all titles will be linked to your big drive, not copied)
    You have drag/drop those movies from your big drive in Finder into your iTunes Movies library
    You have enabled Home Sharing (File|Home Sharing|Turn On Home Sharing)
    You have disabled the old way of sharing (Preferences|Sharing tab|Uncheck "Share my library on my local network")
    You have proudly added a very nice artwork for each of your movie so that you'll get nice thumbnails in iTunes
    by using Identify.app
    or by looking on the web for the best artwork (i.e. flickfacts.com), saving it locally, then drag/drop on your movie in iTunes (Get Info|Artwork)
    You're using Apple's Videos app to load your shared library on you iPad
    (Start Videos app,select your Shared library,wait a while,then all your thumbnails are displayed fine)
    Then as the days go by, you realize that loading your library is taking more and more time, up until that day when all **** brakes loose and you get stuck at the small round clock progress bar, and you wait and wait but no thumbnails is coming up anymore. You reset everything to no avail. What happened?!!
    Well here's what I had to do to fix that problem:
    Everything is about movie thumbnails!
    In my case I had an overhead of 0.5GB of thumbnails for 650 movies! That's an overhead alright! By overhead I mean that the sum of all my thumbnails was 500MB, so the Videos app had to load this (maybe not entirely at once but...) every time you start the app and select your shared library. This explain  why the app get slower and slower has you add new movies, thus new thumbnails/artworks.
    But this doesn't really explain why ultimately the Videos app stops loading all of a sudden!
    I realize the iTunes doesn't like:
    Movie that doesn't show the correct icon preview in Finder
    Invalid movie formats - I'll explain later
    Big thumbnails
    Read all 3 steps and don't forget the last paragraph at the end.
    Movies that doesn't show the correct icon preview in Finder
    Ultimately, I think that was the main problem of all my 3 steps
    In Finder, enable the Icon Preview:
    View|Show View Options|Check "Show Icon Preview"
    You should now be able to see you thumbnails like this in Finder:
    VALID:
    INVALID:
    But if you see any of these icons, the Videos app on the iPad might stumble a bit when loading the library
    or
    If that's the case for some of your movies, you'll have to make sure that ALL your movies have a proper thumbnail.This can be achieve:
    by using Identify.app - see (note1)
    or by looking on the web for the best artwork (i.e. flickfacts.com), saving it locally, then drag/drop on your movie in iTunes (Get Info|Artwork)
    Once the thumbnail is corrected, it should display fine in Finder and iTunes
    Invalid movie formats
    There might be some cases where even after correcting the thumbnail in step 1., this icon still remains invalid.
    If that's the case, you'll need to:
    Either delete the movie altogether and rip it again
    or reconvert it. For example with iSkySoft iMedia Converter Deluxe has a "Speed conversion" option that allows you to reconvert a 2.5GB movie in about 5 min. After the re-conversion I just had to do step 1. and all was fine, and the thumbnail would show well in Finder/iTunes.
    Big thumbnails - may be optional
    To speed up the loading of the movie library you have to reduce the size of the artwork that you insert into each of your movie's metadata:
    Get the artwork on the web (i.e. flickfacts.com) and preferably a .jpg format,and save it locally
    Open your movie file with Preview (Apple's preview app)
    Tools | Adjust Size
    Fit into: 640x480 pixels + OK
    Save As (press Option before Saving) and save it in another folder (I called my folder "Reduced to 640x480")
    Note: if you want to do this on a bunch of files at once: select all your files in Finder, right click and select Open. All you .jpgs will be opened in Preview. Then Ctrl-A to select all in Preview, then you can resize them all)
    You'll noticed that a 1.5MB artwork can easily reduced as small as 50K-200K.
    For example, I went from 500MB to 72MB for all my artworks. Much smallest overhead wouldn't you say?!
    Now comes the part you'll all love : you need to remove ALL your old big artworks for ALL your iTunes movies:
    in iTunes | Movies
    Right click on a movie|Get Info|Artwork tab|Select the artwork|Delete
    Drag/drop your newly reduced .jpg to that same window
    Click OK to save.
    You can't do that in batch, you have to do each manually like this (if anyone has a better idea, I'm all ears)
    See (note1)
    (note1) Important: If you use a program like Identify.app to retrieve the metadata/artwork, I'm pretty sure the size of the automatically retrieved artwork is quite big by default (around 1.5MB-2MB) so you might wanna be careful here and use it to retrieve the movie's metadata, but after that do step 3. to replace the artwork with a smaller one.
    VERY IMPORTANT
    Once step 1, 2 are completed (and I had already completed the optional step 3) you have to remove all movies from iTunes (see note, next sentence ) and drag/drop them all back from your drive to your iTunes Movies window. BEFORE REMOVING ALL MOVIES FROM iTUNES, make sure that the option (Preferences|Advanced|"Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library") was uncheck. If it was checked, I'm pretty sure it will delete all your movies on disk, not only in iTunes!!! - you'll have to investigate this yourselves or make sure you have a good backup copy of your movies first.
    Since I've done all this, my iPad's Videos app is taking about 10-20 sec to load my over than 600 movies library
    Pfew!!
    Have fun gang,
    Jean

    This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
    I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
    Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
    Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
    Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
    Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
    Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
    It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
    Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
    Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
    Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
    Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.
