Apple TV 5.2 update adds Bluetooth keyboard support, AirPlay sending, and more. iOS 6.1’s Monday release may capture most of day’s attention, but Apple’s favorite hobby got a little love as well with the release of Apple TV Software Update 5.2. The set-top box gains a variety of new features related to iTunes in the Cloud, Bluetooth keyboard support, AirPlay sending, and more. The new iTunes in the Cloud support means that you can browse and stream iTunes-purchased music from iCloud, without needing to stream it from another computer on your network. And this feature works even for customers without iTunes Match.
The new Bluetooth keyboard support allows you to pair your wireless keyboard with the Apple TV, thereby simplifying the process of entering text into search boxes, password fields, and the like. You can pair the keyboard under Settings > General > Bluetooth, as Apple explains in this new support document. Though Apple TV has long been able to receive AirPlay audio and video, it now gains the ability to send AirPlay audio as well. Apple TV software updates. Apple TV.
