Sorry, the app does not allow me to add the actual info on the problem............"MORE APPLE IMPROVEMENTS"..


I have a new M5 MacBookPro and used a Time Machine backup from my M1 PRO to populate it as I have for many years buying new APPLE MACs/Laptops. This time with lots of problems but the current one is with APPLE TV Home Videos. I had APPLE support help with getting the MOVIES (purchased) and TV Shows working but my Home Video Library is not working well. When I choose a movie to open, another different movie opens up!!!!! Arbitrarily and not all of them. When I go into FINDER directly to the Movie file and try to play it, the same thing occurs. Any suggestions?

Running MAC OS 27.0.1

After 6 days and 13 calls with different Apple "AI help" and live advisors I finally got to a gent (one of the old time guys who knew what they were doing) who was able to solve the a weird problem with the library.


Problem solved.
