Apple TV

All of a. sudden, we can’t play anything on our Apple TV app, even though Hulu, Netflix’s etc all stream just fine with the device. We have updated the software, unplugged the box, restarted from the menu and Apple TV app still stutters while everything else is fine. Now what? Device is a few years old but runs all the other apps well.

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 11

BonnieAK,


Thanks for clarifying. We could isolate this a little more. If you are using Wi-Fi normally, are you able to use an Ethernet cable to test the Apple TV app? Can you test on another Wi-Fi network? Restarting your router might even help.


If that doesn't help, resetting will be the next suggested step: Reset or restore your Apple TV to its factory settings.


Let us know what happens.


Cheers,

Hi BonnieAK,


Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help with the Apple TV app that isn't working as you expect on your Apple TV 4K.


Are you certain the device is updated? Your profile says it's on tvOS 11. The most current version is tvOS 15.2: What’s new in tvOS 15 for Apple TV.

Have a fantastic day!
