Restoring your Apple TV

If Apple TV doesn’t respond to any of the previous steps, or if you want to reset Apple TV to its default settings, you can restore your Apple TV software.

To restore Apple TV:

Choose Settings > General > Reset, and then select Restore.

Restoring Apple TV can take some time, so be patient.

If restoring doesn’t work or if Apple TV still doesn’t respond, you can restore it using iTunes:
