You can restore Apple TV models up to 4th generation through a computer with iTunes.

The iTunes application should recognize it. It will not be accessible to Windows or other applications.

  • Depending on your model (3rd or 4th generation), the device may need its own power. Apple TV (2nd generation) should not have its power cord connected.
  • Verify that your USB cable supports data transfer, i.e. not just a charging cable.


In iTunes, you should see the Apple TV summary page. If you don't see the Apple TV summary page, click the Apple TV icon in the upper-left corner.
