  1. Go in to the notifications screen by swiping down on the watch.
  2. Force touch the screen until you see a large "X".
  3. Tap the "X" to delete all notifications at once.

 

iHeart Radio Unveils New Apple TV App

iHeartRadioLogo“If you want to listen to the same corporate pop music as you do on your terrestrial radio, you can do so from the comfort of your couch,” Rob LeFebvre reports for Cult of Mac.

“iHeartRadio’s streaming app can now also reside on your Apple TV, assuming you have one of the newer fourth-generation set-top boxes from Apple,” LeFebvre reports. “The new Apple TV app will give you all the main elements of the iOS app, including Live Stations, Custom Stations based on songs or artists, and podcasts from the behemoth media network.”

“iHeartRadio used to be called Clear Channel Communications, a media group that all but gobbled up radio stations around the country, making FM stations all start to sound the same with playlists guaranteed to please the lowest common denominator of listeners,” LeFebvre reports. “It’s a strategy that’s done pretty well, as evidenced by its monetary success.”

How to "Turn Off" Apple TV (4th Generation)

2015AppleTVRemoteYou may have noticed that I put double quotes around "Turn Off".  That's because the device doesn't actually turn off, but rather goes into a sleep mode.  This is because it can always be ready for the user, and update any updates while it's not in use.

Here's how:

  1. Press and hold the Home Button for 5 seconds.  A menu will appear with two options.
  2. Select the "Sleep" option.
  3. That's it.

Notice:
Some TVs will also go off when Apple TV is powered off.  In that case, their is another setting that you have to choose in settings.  That will be covered in another "How To".
