Closed captioning in Apple TV version 4.4

I updated the Apple TV software to v4.4 but I still can't get closed captioning to work. The cc menu does not show up after pressing the up arrow button and holding down the select button (only the chapter list). Closed captioning is enabled in the settings menu and the movies I rented all feature a cc option. Very disappointing. I will think twice before renting any other movie.

You can turn on closed captioning in the AppleTV settings. Go to Settings > Video.
It is possible that not all rented movies will have closed captions. It is up to the movie studio to provide CC with the movies files they give to Apple for hosting.

  • No closed captioning on apple tv

    I bought a tv series (The River) in itunes store with closed caption and the cc works fine on my imac but not on my Apple tv. Closed captioning is turned active on both computer and apple tv. What is wrong? I really need it

    Hey jespersthlm
    I would restore the Apple TV and then turn the settings on again to ensure that everything is checked for closed captioning.

  • Closed Captioning in Apple TV Rented Movies?

    Is it possible to select closed captioning in Apple TV Rented Movies? I rented a movie and did not see the closed caption option. Is it possible that only certain movies have the closed captioning option, or none.
    I would appreciate any information regarding this subject.

  • Closed Captioned on Apple TV

    Good morning, I have just recently installed my apple tv. I have an a sony amplifier and have directv and a blue ray player conected to my samsung tv. I have been able to use the option of closed caption in my directv biut not in my apple tv. I have gone to settings and changed the subtitles and closed caption but the letters do not appear on the screen. Any suggestions ?
    Thank you

    Before you download a movie/show make sure you see the CC icon on the description. If it doesn't have it (most movies still don't, unless they are foreign language) then you are out of luck. If you know the file does have CC but can't see it, hold down the play button during playback to see the available options.

  • Closed caption for apple tv

    It would be nice if I could get the closed captioning to work while watching a movie through the apple tv. Since there are a great number of us that are deaf or hard of hearing. Any suggestions on how to get that feature to work or hope Apple can come up with something to make it work , that would be nice.

    content that have closed captions included already work on the appletv, and the appletv shows the subtitles.

  • No closed captioning on one channel

     I have 2 TVs--2 FIOS boxes--different rooms. On one TV (Samsung), closed captioning does not work on one of the major networks.  It works on all other channels that interest me.  On the other TV (Sony), everything is fine on all channels.
    What's going on here?

  • Netflix and Closed Captioning

    Is there a way to turn on Closed Captioning in Netflix when using the AppleTV? I have a PS3 that I use for Hulu Plus, but I use my AppleTV for Netflix. The PS3 has the option of turning on Closed Captioning, but I can't find any such option for the AppleTV. If there is one, can you point me to it? Not the closed Captioning for Apple's rentals. I really don't want to use the PS3 for Netflix, but I feel I almost have to because of this issue.

    To turn on CC and subtitles:
    Go to Settings -> Audio & Video -> Subtitle Language to turn off or select the language of choice for subtitles
    In Audio & Video -> Closed Captioning to turn on or off CC.
    Most movies in the Apple store do not have CC. All movies in Netflix do not have CC or subtitles on the ATV2 but only on the PC/Mac and one of the game consoles I read have an add-on to get it to work. I have heard nothing on when the CC or subtitles will be ported to the ATV2.
    Hope that helps

  • Why are closed captions missing on airplay but visible on iPad.

    I am familiar with, and use, closed captions on Apple TV but when I watch ABC iview using airplay on my iPad  the captions do not show on my TV although I can see them on the iPad screen.

    today i've had a set of 10 photos or so missing altogether in my photostream. All pictures concerned were taken with my iphone 4s during the same "session". Pictures from an earlier session the same day showed up as expected.
    The thing is that this group of 10 photos doesn't even show up on my iphone under the "photostream" tab in the photos app, although it does under the regular photos tab.
    triggering icloud backup manually didn't help (although I realize icloud backup and photostream aren't directly related, are they?). of course, i was in my wifi area (at home).

  • Closed captions + SDH made a mess by Apple TV 6.0. Any fixes?

    We've found that the Apple TV 6.0 software update made a mess of closed captions + SDH .  It suddenly changed the size and color and font on its own.  To make things worse, when we try to send them right with the new customizable closed caption style settings, we can't make them look like they did before the 6.0 software update.  The customizable choices are too small, too large, or much too large than they were before.

    The movies are not orphaned. There is a flaw in the latest version. There are several posts on this issue. Actually be happy they are on AppleTV. Several of us have purchased through iTunes. We sync, but when the computer loses the link with ATV requiring a new code. When the code is entered it re-syncs itunes and ATV, but you lose the movies that were transferred to ATV requiring you to move movies back to ATV.
    They are probably working on a fix.

  • How do I turn on closed caption on my apple tv for netflix

    How do I turn on closed caption on my apple tv for netflx? I was able before I updated 2 days ago all I had to do was press the silver button in the middle of the circle with the arrows and it will bring me to audio/closed caption menu now I get noting just a bling sound

  • Met Opera to Apple TV but no "closed captions"

    Hello,
    I actually called the Met Opera people who seemed responable for the MET OPERA App.  It Opera On-Demand App.  It works great except unlike live in HD at the movies, OR on PBS television when they show a Met Opera, when transmitting it to my television using an Apple TV device, the Closed Caption goes away.
    Now on the iPad itself I can watch an Opera and see clearly the closed caption which is very important because it helps explain the Plot to me and who the various character are, etc.  I thought I'd mention it here and see if anyone's had a similar experience.  The iPad shows the closed caption, it just vanishes when it reaches my HDTV.
    Oh well.....  Thanks for any feedback....

    I've got a similar problem. I'm trying to export a movie with chapter marks, but do not want to use the iPod format. How did you solve your issue?

  • Apple TV 2 - Can it display closed captions for the hearing impaired?

    I have not seen a direct answer to this question anywhere, even on the web. If I buy a movie/TV show DVD, I get closed captions. If I rent or buy from iTunes or some other source, does this mean there are no closed captions to display, or does it mean that Apple TV 2 cannot display the closed captions? It is especially helpful with British shows. We use closed captions all the time for everything else. If it cannot be displayed, Apple TV 2 is largely useless for us. Note: many Boomers (we with the money to spend, not the 15 year olds!) have damaged hearing- they should be included in marketing.

    The easiest way to find videos with closed captioning is to select Column Browser->Show Column Browser from the View menu in iTunes. Select a category and then look for titles displaying the CC icon. You can then rent them in iTunes or find them in the Menu in the ATV and rent them there.

  • HT4613 But does new Apple TV HD  support closed captioning?

    Apple TV HD is new and small; but does it step forward software-wise to support Closed Captioning,  and SubTitles?

    It's a software issue plain and simple in my view (on AppleTV's side).  I don't think the optical hardware is limited - it's unlikely Apple would have sourced a non-standard optical solution and seeing as they come with the ability to do better quality audio I'd imagine this does too.
    Yes Macs support at least 24/96 over optical as I've just reattached my Mini to a Yamaha DSP to play some 24/96 studio masters from Linn.
    Greg Jarvis wrote:
    Wait a minute peeps - this isn't necessarily a problem with iTunes.  AFAIK iTunes does support 24-bit output - if you play a 24-bit ALE audio file via optical out of your Mac, it's 24-bit audio as far as I'm aware.
    I was under the impression that the issue is with the ATV optical output itself - it's limited to 16-bit. 

  • Closed Caption Subtitles on Netflix via Apple TV

    The Netflix website says that the show Dexter has subtitles. I have enabled the subtitles / closed caption options on my 2010 Apple TV. Yet they don't show up. Is it me? Did I missed something? Did I enable closed captions the wrong way? Is the Netflix website wrong? Thanks!

    Netflix uses a proprietary system for subtitles. They have only released the software to show the subtitles on 4 platforms so far: PC & Mac Web Browsers, Wii, & PS3. They do not show on any other platform so far. Netflix says that other platforms, including AppleTV, are "Coming Soon" but no release dates are given. they are adding titles with subtitling to the catalog weekly. Total is now over 700 titles. Sadly, Netflix does not provide any type of search method to allow for searching of titles with Subtitles. I have developed a list of titles on my blog here: http://ncmacasl.blogspot.com/2010/10/netflix-instantwatch-titles-with.html
