12/31/2019 Macbook Home Screen
The Home screen looks so cluttered with plenty of unwanted and disorganized apps! Head over to this complete guide to ideally customize the Home screen of your Apple TV so that it looks pretty neat and those unwanted apps remain away from the sight. Getting a Blank or Black Home Screen? Well, that’s an entirely different problem. For this issue, check out our article on troubleshooting blank or black iPhone or iPad screens. If this problem occurred after an update to the latest iOS software and your screen is black and won’t turn on or do anything, connect your device to iTunes.
If you have multiple Apple TVs in your household, you can set them to share exactly the same Home screen layout and use the same set of installed apps, here’s how.
Called “One Home Screen” and supported on tvOS 11 and later, this lets you keep any installed tvOS apps and Home screen appearance synchronized across every Apple TV you own.
How to use One Home Screen on tvOS 11
1) Open the Settings app on one of your Apple TVs.
2) Navigate to the Accounts → iCloud subsection.
3) Set the toggle One Home Screen to “On”.
“Keep your apps and Home screens up to date across every Apple TV using this iCloud account,” reads the feature’s description.
And that’s all there’s to it!
You should now have the same Home screen appearance and installed apps for each Apple TV in your household. I’m liking this feature a lot—it does unify my home media experience.
Now I can seamlessly switch, say, between an Apple TV in my bedroom and one in the living room knowing all of my installed apps and Home screen organization will be perfectly synchronized between them and across as many Apple TVs as I happen to own.
Issues with One Home Screen?
As mentioned, One Home Screen requires you be signed in with the same Apple ID account in Settings → Account on every Apple TV you wish to keep in sync.
TUTORIAL:How to use your Siri Remote like a pro
Suppose you’ve created a new folder on an Apple TV in your living room or moved a YouTube icon to the top of the Home screen. tvOS sends your actions to iCloud which in turn sends the changes to an Apple TV in your bedroom and to all of your other boxes.
If one of your Apple TVs has fallen out of sync, you may want to double-check that it’s using the proper Apple ID account in Settings → Account like your other Apple TVs. Also, be sure the device has network connectivity and that iCloud services are not offline.

So, my sister was fooling around on my laptop, and somehow managed to change the color display. After that, system preferences became unresponsive, so I forced quit. After that, it would be unresponsive every time I opened it. My other apps like Safari and Chrome would shut down within a few seconds of opening them. So, I tried restarting. When I tried to turn it back on, it got stuck on the white startup screen with the apple logo in the center. It's still stuck that way! It's a school laptop, and winter break ends soon. I need this fixed ASAP, thanks!
Is this a good question?

Thank You! I'm back in business -- took a while, but it worked
Seems you are in for a OS X reinstall. You shouldn't loose any data. Could also be the disk is starting to fail. That can happen after 5 years or after 2 weeks. Start with CMD+R into recovery and choose 'Reinstall MacOS X'. I would also try first Disk Utility from the same recovery menu to make sure the drive is ok.
Tried all the solutions save Disk Selection as only have one HDD, will not start in safe mode, did the Disk Utility check with no flags, finally OS X reinstall which took a couple of hours and now it is at the same place i started with the white start up screen, apple logo and progress bar stall at the very end.
Am seriously frustrated and do not know what to try next? Is there any other process to try, I did not turn off the power after the OS X reinstall
