TV
TV is Apple's built-in video and media player application for macOS, designed to browse, manage and watch movies, TV shows, and personal video libraries. It integrates with Apple's ecosystem including iCloud, iTunes purchases, and Apple TV+ subscriptions, allowing users to stream content across devices. The app supports a wide range of video formats and serves as the primary interface for watching purchased or rented video content on Mac.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionTV ships as part of macOS itself, not as a separate downloadable app, so there is nothing to update on its own. Whichever version of TV you have is determined entirely by which version of macOS you are running — and Apple ships native Apple Silicon builds of TV as part of every modern macOS release. If your TV.app is reporting as Intel-only, the most likely cause is an unusually old macOS that has not been updated. Open System Settings → General → Software Update and install the latest macOS your Mac supports; TV will be updated to its native Apple Silicon build automatically. This will also keep you on a supported macOS once Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028).
