I want to sell my old TV and also my Apple TV component. All is unplugged now but do I have to reconnect everything to remove personal information or can I do it from my computer or iPad?

Before selling or giving away, it is recommended to reset or restore the device to factory settings (which will remove any personal information and settings). That is most easily done through the menu.

If that fails or is not available, then it is also possible to restore through a computer with iTunes.
