Michal Ždanský Along with new versions of iOS, Apple also regularly releases updates for the 2nd and 3rd generation Apple TVs, which run Apple's modified mobile operating system. Some functions we could already see in the beta version, but some are completely new. Although Apple versioned the beta version as 5.4, it finally bears the designation Apple TV 6.0.
- AirPlay from iCloud – this brand new feature is the answer to Google Chromecast. AirPlay from iCloud lets you stream purchased content in iTunes directly from Apple's servers instead of streaming it locally via AirPlay. The iOS device then serves as a controller. The function cuts the volume of transferred data in half, on the other hand, the video may take a long time to be loaded into the cache and it is necessary to wait a while. AirPlay from iCloud is only available for iOS 7 devices.
- iTunes Radio – as the beta version already hinted, Apple TV now supports the iTunes Radio service, which Apple introduced at WWDC 2013. Users can thus stream music from Apple's servers, where the database reads millions of songs, create their own radio stations and discover new artists. iTunes Radio contains advertisements, but iTunes Match subscribers will not experience them. The service is not yet available in the Czech Republic.
- iCloud Photos & Videos – This feature replaces the current Photostream and allows you to display both your photo and video stream as well as content that others have shared with you via Photostream.
- Apple TV can now also automatically update when a new update is released.
Next month, it is expected that the next generation of Apple TV could be released. Practically nothing is known about it yet, but it is expected that Apple could finally introduce an App Store for this device and turn it into a gaming console. In the same way, Apple TV could acquire new television functions or completely replace the Set-Top-Box.
iPad 2 + iOS7
Settings - location services... is there a box for native weather app, when the iPad doesn't have this app at all? Probably a bug in the system…or do you think an iPad weather app is in the works?
The weather is there, but only on the notification screen.
I see. Thank you. It only appeared there for me, so that's why I was so surprised.
I excitedly updated my AppleTV, but it won't sign me into iCloud. I enter the password, agree to the terms and it takes me back to agree to the terms. And so on and on. Others work fine. I am doing something wrong?
After updating my Apple TV, some of the movies in my iTunes library stopped showing on my TV. I normally had them there before the update :-/
Is there a way to set up Apple TV so that I can watch US channels (Disney for children) in the Czech Republic? I entered US in the settings, but it still tells me that I don't have permission due to geolocation... Do I have to create a second Apple ID in the US, for example? Thanks for the reply
Geolocation is obtained from the IP address of your Internet connection. You would have to connect to the net in some complicated way via an intermediate link somewhere in the US. Due to the closedness of the whole system, it's practically impossible unless you're a really good geek…
unfortunately I thought so... :/ well nothing...
Google smart dns. try it for 14 days and see. It's much simpler than a vpn or even a flash router. I don't want to advertise, but I can send you the details. But it's so simple that even I managed it:-D... I look at Net..ix etc. without any problem.
Ok thanks… I'll try
I have a computer and I can't find any updates. Does it sound like you have version 6?
PS: Does anyone know what to do with it?
The same. And not even with American respect. Anyone know where the problem is??
It also doesn't offer me any update….
update still unavailable
I updated without problems two days ago in the evening
