Apple TV Library is Empty only on my Apple TV

After an update my library on my Apple TV emptied. If I search for a movie I've perviously purchased, that movie will show it has been purchased. The problem is that my library show empty. If I pull up my Apple TV on my computer, my library is full. How can I access my library on my Apple TV on my TV?

Apple TV 4K (3rd generation)

The TV app Library on the Apple TV box should show the purchases from Apple’s iTunes Store.

Other content in your library on the computer (e.g.home videos) would not sync that way. Use the Computers app and Home Sharing instead for that.


If the Apple TV box has multiple accounts, then verify that you have switched to the correct account before accessing the library.


For misbehaving apps, try to force-quit and relaunch the app. If the issue persists after that, then try a device restart. Else try signing out for your account, then sign in again immediately. Else contact the Apple Support staff for further investigation.

My Apple TV account was blank yesterday and now I finally can see my account. However when I try to launch "hidden" to manage/unhide movies, Apple TV launches Apple Music instead.


I have had so many problems with Sonoma. First it is iMessage not syncing across all devices and now this.


what a disappointing OS. I'm saying this coming from a long time Mac user (clam, if you young 'uns even remember that).
