Apple TV+ So Difficult To Watch On My Samsung TV

Did anyone solve this problem? I ditched the app because all of the sudden nothing in it would play on my Samsung smart tv. Tried all the fixes. Thanks.

I’m cancelling my subscription to Apple TV. I can’t even cast it from my iPhone or my iPad to my Samsung tv. Anything else casts perfectly-Apple TV - Nope!

Fix it Apple TV and I’ll start up again and you’ll get my $15 Cdn a month. Otherwise, you’re out of luck.

My friend […] has other streaming services but Apple don’t work on her Samsung tv. Does it need to be a smart tv?

1. The Apple TV app is available on select Samsung smart TVs from 2018 or later. I believe it should be pre-installed on these models.
2. The Apple TV+ app is available on Samsung TVs from 2017 or later that did not get the formerly mentioned Apple TV app. Users may need to download this from Samsung’s on-device Appstore/Smart Hub.

Get the Apple TV app or Apple TV+ app on your smart TV or streaming device - Apple Support

Perhaps not ideal but I bought a Chromecast USB device and put that in my older Samsung - I can now use Chrome and under the View tab press Cast to the TV and from there I use https://tv.apple.com/ to stream apple programmes to the TV.

I can open the Apple TV plus app, but in the side menu, I only have five options: my account showing that I am logged in, search, Apple TV+, MLS season pass, and settings. I have no way to access my library and none of the remotes work. Any advice? This is super annoying.

The only workaround solution is the reset the Samsung Smarthub and then re-sign in to Samsung TV account, Apple TV account, Prime etc... I have now managed it in 10 minutes minimum. It is not a permanent fix as the fault/bug will return in a few weeks.

It is nothing to do with bandwidth, bad streams, re-installing Apple TV app or Tiizen needing updates which are the only suggestions Samsung help can offer.

Same here. Apple not able to help. Told to remove app and re-install. They couldn’t help with that. Samsung unable to help cause we have Cox Cable. Will try that call next!!! May have to cx Apple TV if we can’t get help???

That's my problem as well. All my other apps are working fine, and I can watch Apple TV+ on my Samsung android tablet just fine but not on my Samsung TV. When trying to watch through the TV I get a choice of 'how to watch' , when I press this it tells me I have to sign up for this app. Driving me crazy!!!

Sorry to hear that. I think that is all any user can do on their end. Next step would be to contact Apple Support for their assessment and assistance. Contact Apple for support and service (phone numbers) or start your support request online (chat/​email/​callback).

The Apple ID account security questions, would be questions and answers that the account creator has chosen.

Please use your own personal Apple ID account.

You wouldn’t need those security questions if you have two-factor authentication (a much better system; more secure and more user-friendly).

You can’t reset the questions without some sort of proof of who you are. Else anyone could take over your account, and no-one wants that.

apple tv requires sign on every time with my samsung tv. I’m fed up doing this. It works on my phone

It rarely EVER works on my Westinghouse Roku TV so I canceled it. I have no problems with all other streaming services.

We have too and still nothing works and neither Apple or Samsung seems to care.

Apple tv wont play on my Samsung tv

Was not working for me at first, but after all the updates it managed to fix itself
