Automatic play for Apple tv

I was wondering if there's a way to play the apple tv automatically NOT the music but when you watch a tv show. I was hoping there's a way to do this. It would be so much easier for me and my hubby not getting up and press play 100 times while our daughter watches yo gabba gabba or spongebob. I'm not sure what kind of apple tv I have I think I have.

Not currently. Provide fedback to Apple.

  • I run Netflix on my ATV. I am interested in setting up the automatic play for episodes. Could this be done? And if so, how?

    When I run Netflix or Hulu in my PS3, I can enable automatic episode play, which is great when I am cooking or cleaning, and my 4 year old is watching a show. However, upstairs I run Netflix and Hulu via the Apple TV. Hulu allows for automatic episode play but Netflix doesn't. Is this something I can control via the ATV, or is this an issue with Netflix? Any info will be apreciated!

    I don't believe that's possible on the Apple TV.
    If you have any suggestions that you think might enhance the Apple TV you can send Apple your feedback here 

  • I just bought Apple Tv.  Everything is hooked up and home sharing is turned on (imac, ipad, apple tv).  When i play my itunes through my tv the song will play for apprx. 45 to 60 seconds and then cuts off and goes back to the main menu.

    I just purchased Apple Tv 2.  Hooked it up and everything is set on Home Sharing.  When i attempt to play itunes through  my tv the song will only play for approx. 45-60 seconds and then the Main Menu comes on and the song quits.  Same goes for when I put my photos on.

  • All is set up ok but when I view a home movie the apple tv reverts to the menu at random times, sometimes every 30 secs or so, sometimes plays for mins before cutting out and then i have to enter menu, go to movies and select the movie then resume play bu

    Whwn viewing home movies the movie cuts out back to the general menu at random, forcing me to enter menu again, reselect the movie and hit resume button.
    this happens everytime I try to play a movie, maybe after 1 min of play then again after 3 mins, next time it might play for 6 mins then cut out and so on. The macbook pro is not reverting to sleep mode or closing down and the wifi signal is strong. So is the apple tv an expensive load of junk or what?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • For me, a time capsule is even safe when you have whatter damage op fire in your house. Am I wrong or is it just an additional HD like there are so maney with the only advantage that it goes automatically via your wifi for apple devices?

    Jloe,
    As I have posted before, You, and others having issues with Verizon would be much better off if you complained to the FCC and FTC as well as your Senators and Congressmen.  We, as individuals, have such small voices - use them where they might do the most good.
    Also, don't assume that Verizon doesn't monitor these postings, they actively do & sometimes contact those that post complaints.
    Sorry for your problems.  GC

  • When I open itunes on my laptop, how do i stop itunes from automatically prompting for my apple account info?

    When I open itunes on my laptop, and I have connected my iPod Touch, how do I stop itunes from automatically prompting for my apple account info?  I'm usually not intending to make any purchases at that time, so do they need to know my account info?

    Rented movies downloaded to an Apple TV can't be transferred to any other device.

  • How do I get Apple Mail to NOT automatically check for new messages?

    Under General, I have it set to Manually, under each Gmail account (2) I have UNchecked the "include when automatically checking for new messages" under "Advanced", but it still checks automatically. Are there other settings that effect this behavior? I want it to ONLY check manually.

    It seems to be impossible to stop the automatic push - I found another email client that permits me to access gmail via pop3, and that permits several things that Apple Mail is deficient in (as far as I'm concerned) - permits delete of email on Gmail without having it deleted on my laptop, and does not permit autpmatic push. I need access sto ALL my email under MY organization structure on my laptop, even when I do not have internet access, and Apple mail does not permit me to manage things my way (neither does gmail).

  • TS1424 how do i speak to someone about getting a song that i downloaded that only plays for 40 seconds fixed? ive been trying to contact apple for ages on this page it just sends me in circles

    i downloaded a song thats 3 and a half mins long and it plays for 40 seconds but i cant speak to apple about it because everytime i try find an address through this site it takes me in circles, wish a big company like this would make a site that is easy

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes (or delete it from your iPod and re-download it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app).
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads with the same problem then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps...  Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • Will movies optimized for Apple TV in Handbrake also play on iPhone?

    f I convert a DVD that I own using Handbrake, and pick the Apple TV setting will it also then play okay on my iPhone or do I have to convert it again using optimized for iPhone?
    Thanks for info
    Cheers
    mrjazz

    It will play just fine, but when you convert it for Apple TV you get a resolution fit for a large TV and an equally large file size. The iPhone will fit it to the screen if you play it. If you convert the video for iPhone, it will give you a 480 x 320 video size (which is ideal for iPhone). So, you can get a smaller file size by converting for iPhone.
    Now, converting for iPhone and then playing on Apple TV will work, but it will look worse compared to Apple TV optimized video.

  • Apple TV and my MacBook Pro. TV shows I bought from iTunes only play for 1:50 min on Apple TV. However, the same shows play full length from my iPad. What's the cause?

    The TV series that I purchased from iTunes and have on my MacBook Pro will play on Apple TV for a short 2 minutes and then everything ends. However, the same shows play full length on Apple TV if I use my iPan. Does anyone know the cause of this?

    Hi mdr1976,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can use iTunes Match to access your entire iTunes library on your computer and iOS devices.
    You can access your iTunes library on your Apple TV using Home Sharing, which is why it only works when your MacBook is turned on.
    See these articles for more information about Home Sharing:

  • TS5150 With certain movies I have downloaded digitally through Itunes or certain movies through Netflix played through Apple TV, I am only getting partial sound.  I am missing one or more sound tracks.  Am I missing something in the settings for Apple TV?

    With certain movies I have downloaded digitally through Itunes or certain movies through Netflix played through Apple TV, I am only getting partial sound.  I am missing one or more sound tracks.  Am I missing something in the settings for Apple TV?

    Are you using a stereo receiver or surround sound system for the audio by chance.  What you are describing sounds like a receiver that is not setup correctly, or does not have the speakers connected to it correctly to support Dolby surround, 5.1 or 7.1.  Which is why it is only happening on some content.  It would only be on the ones that are encoded to support Dolby audio.
