Screen Saver: I like to play around with the screen saver settings, and show either more recent pictures that are in my photo book, or select movie posters from the Trailer app, or even choose a Flickr album.

USING IFLICKS WITH PLEX UPDATE

Software Updates: Apple regularly updates it’s software, so rather than manually have to keep track of that, just change your software updates to “Automatic Updates,” and your Apple TV will update itself on a regular basis.

The safest is to choose “Automatic” as it will give you the highest resolution your TV can display. Just go to “Settings,” then “Display settings,” and you will see a menu.

Adjust Resolution: In order to get the clearest picture possible, make sure the resolution setting on Apple TV is correct for your TV.

To do it, just click on an icon and hold the centre button until it jiggles and then use the arrows on the wheel to move it up, down, right, or left. You can’t move the top row, but any below that is fair game. Put the ones you use the most in a convenient spot at the top.

Organize your widgets: After you have hidden those apps you don’t need, you should organize the remaining ones.

If you ever want to reinstate that app, just do the same thing as selecting it again will unhide it. You can hide unused apps by going to “Settings,” and then to “Restrictions,” and then just go down to any app that you want to hide, select it and will change to hide. Hide unnecessary apps: I am sure you have apps on the screen that you will never use and are just cluttering up the screen.It will go 180 hours on one charge!Įven though you have successfully set up your Apple TV and it is working fine, here are a few additional ways to configure your Apple TV to make it easier and more convenient to use: I really like the Logitech K760 or the Logitech K750 as both are solar powered, but another simple solution is the Genius Mini Luxpad which has a Li-ion rechargeable battery. Your keyboard should show up on Apple TV, select it and follow the prompts.

Here are some of those Bluetooth Keyboard shortcuts: Not only is typing even easier than touching letters on the glass screen of your Smartphone or tablet, but you can use the keyboard to navigate and control your Apple TV as well. It is also much easier to type on your IOS device than using the remote to painfully move from letter to letter.Įven better than using the Remote App would be getting a Bluetooth Keyboard because you can pair it with Apple TV.

You can even get the app for your Android device. It is a much simpler way to control your Apple TV than the silver remote that comes with Apple TV, plus I always seem to misplace the silver remote but never my phone and tablet. If you don’t have it already, download the Apple “Remote” app on to your Smartphone and tablet. Well I am going to let you know of some simple things that you should do to improve the experience you have with Apple TV.

One of the nice things about Apple TV is it is easy to set up and use, so most people just plug it in and away they go. For most of you that have an Apple TV, I am betting you simply set it up and have been enjoying it ever since – and you haven’t touched it since (except to watch stuff) to customize it for your particular needs.
