Apple Releases tvOS 13 With Multi User Support, Control Center, Ocean Screensavers and More

This happened to me as well. Just had to delete the iCloud one and leave the one with the Store Apple ID set properly. The only downside is, is that the profile pic is just my initials. There appears to be no way to set your profile pic unless I set up an iOS device with my iTunes Store account AS my iCloud account temporarily. Too much hassle.

Once and for all, Apple, please let us just merge Apple ID's....I'm forever cursed with my long history of purchases under an old Apple ID, and a newer separate iCloud ID for everything else.

I tried setting the image on iCloud Web, but it looks like it's not updating.

Are you just guessing or do you have some technical knowledge from somewhere? And what do you mean by it only stores 3-4 of them -- on TvOS 12.4.1, I had easily over 20 of them (don't quote me on the number, but it was a lot). It only stores 3-4 of them when?

I updated and now I have 8 of them. So it stored 8 of them, not 3-4. (And i have the 32Gb model)

I just updated (32Gb) and the 13 I had before are still there after the update. I assume that the new undersea versions will automatically download at some point.
 
Unfortunately the multi-user support in its current form does not help to limit the access of children.
I wish there were no restrictions at all in my account. In the account of the children however different restrictions are activated etc..
In the current form you have the restrictions in every account.
 
Anybody wondering where HomePod's audioOS update is at?

I'm eager to update my HomePod. The new OS really does fill in a lot of the missing pieces and will allow HomePod to come into its own going forward.

I thought that multi user support will mean that each user profile will have access to user specific content, especially photos for every user but from what I see if I switch to my wife’s account she still see photos from my iCloud account.

Just updated one of my ATVs and encountered the first UI annoyance already: in the previous version, the "top shelf" of the TV app on the home screen would show the first few entries of may watch list. Now it shows some random movie poster fullscreen in the background (essentially an ad), so I can no longer directly jump to an item on the watchlist. Is there any way to configure this? Not a fan of the new home screen so far.

Yep this is retarded. So far it feels like a downgrade.

I updated over lunch and the transitions between apps stuttered a bit. I have Apple TV HD.

Any thoughts on why it is so glitchy?
 
Someone said about the update deleting all the old screensavers... does that mean just to make sure the space is available to update and they’ll re-download, or that they’re gone forever and we’re stuck with ‘fish’ wallpapers? I love the city ones.
 
Anyone got multi-user support working properly?
I have 2 family members (within Family Sharing), both updated to iOS 13.1 on their iPhones, both been invited via the Home app by me, so within Home they're there and able to see accessories/scenes etc.

However, still not showing up on 2 Apple TVs as additional profiles (both updated to tvOS 13 too).
 
I only have 2 profiles and both seem to show properly. You do know to access them via the TV button on the remote, right?

Yeah found one of them in there now - what is that actual point of multi-user? I think I was expecting a lot more separation!

I was hoping at the very least the other profile could default to their Netflix profile!

I don’t want “Netflix-like” forced video previews!

Sure hope we can disable that nonsense.

I turned auto update OFF until it’s confirmed this can be disabled. I loathe it on the Netflix app and only open it when I know what I want to watch. Don’t want that experience on my Apple TV’s home screen, thanks. TvOS 12 is working just fine for everything we need.

Have friends/family opened the home app and switched to the home they were invited to?

Also when you opened the home app, did you see any screen come up about adding your Apple ID to the Apple TVs?

Open the Home app on their phones. After a reboot/re-open of the home app (after they‘ve been added to your home) they should get a prompt asking “Do you want to be added to all Apple TV’s?” Say yes. If you don’t see the prompt, you can go into their profile and toggle the switch “add to Apple TV” or whatever it says.

I have a different problem:

I have it all setup. Can easily toggle between family profiles using the Apple TV control panel (holding the home button on the Apple TV remote). But none of the Apple Arcade games will open for other family members. Only when I’m on MY profile can we open the games. When I go to their profiles, it either won’t open at All, or when it does - it just hangs on this screen:

Anybody seeing this? Any help?
 
Do the video previews on the home screen play with sound if nothing else is playing, or are they meant to be silent?
 
Has anyone figured out how to update the user profile pictures? If I update the picture on my iPhone it updates everywhere else except for on the Apple TV. I've tried resetting it and everything but it still display the grey human outline.
