Install on Apple TV

In order to setup Pandora, you will need to have an Apple TV 4K or Apple TV HD device.

Open the App Store on your Apple TV, search for Pandora and select the Get button.

You will then have the option to sign in with your email or create a new account.

Sign into your account, and your stations should appear on your Apple TV screen.

Refer to Apple's Use Bluetooth accessories with your Apple TV article for more info on how to pair your controller.

Pause/Skip/Thumb

Press the play/pause button on the remote or select the album art of the currently playing track.

From the Now Playing screen use your remote to select the skip icon.

You can also give current tracks a thumb up or down from this screen, and thumb previous tracks by swiping through the album art.

Create a station

Select Search and type the name of an Artist or Track in the text-box. From there, select the name of the Artist or Track you would like to base your station on.

You can also view and add our current Popular Stations from the initial search screen.

Delete stations

Go to My Stations.

Click and hold the station you want to delete and confirm.

Edit Thumbs

If you're still within your current listening session, simply tap the thumb again to un-thumb. Or you can:

1. Go to Now Playing.
2. Swipe through the album art of the previous tracks until you locate the track.
3. Select the highlighted Thumb icon.

If this happened in a previous session, you'll need to visit the station's details from your mobile device or browser to remove the thumb.

Station sorting

Go to My Stations.

In the upper-right corner, click Recent to sort by recently listened or A-Z to sort alphabetically.

1. Go to Settings > Account Settings > Content Settings.
2. Toggle over to Allow Explicit Content and switch it On or Off.
3. Enter your Pandora account password to confirm changes.

Troubleshooting on Apple TV

If Pandora is not working properly, try the following.  

Restart the your Apple TV device:

• Open your Apple TV Settings.
• Select System. 
• Select Restart.

If your Apple TV remains unresponsive, try restarting your Apple TV with your remote. 

If you continue to have problems, uninstall and reinstall the Pandora app.

Finally, try a few standard network troubleshooting steps:

• Connect directly via an ethernet cable rather than wirelessly (if you have this option on your device).
• Reboot your modem and router.
• Restart your device.
