There may come a time when you want to sell your Apple TV or give it to someone else. Or maybe a failed system update ended up bricking the device. In any event, it’s good to know how to factory reset your Apple TV.
There are two ways to factory reset an Apple TV.
The first method is by just going into the settings on the Apple TV and resetting it, which assumes you’re able to boot the device up and click through the menus.The other method can be used when something goes awry, like the power going out during an update and bricking your Apple TV. That way, you can factory reset it even if you can’t properly boot up the device and navigate through the menus.
For the Newer, 4th-Generation Apple TV
From the home screen, click on “Settings”.
Scroll down and select “System”.
Near the bottom, click on “Reset”.
From there, you can select either “Reset” or “Reset and Update”. Both will factory reset your Apple TV, but the latter option will also install the latest software update if one is available (and if you have an internet connection).
