New Apple TV HD

I have an older Apple TV unit and just purchased a new one. How do I move the contents of the old one to the new one?

Hello bj565,


For Apple TV’s pretty much all content is actually stored in your iCloud. Only apps themselves take up on device storage. If you have an iPhone or iPad you can use them to set up your Apple ID, iCloud, and Keychain information. Then set up iCloud to replicate your old Apple TV.


Set up Apple TV - Apple Support


Using “One Home Screen” will make the two Apple TV’s identical for you. Customize the Apple TV Home Screen - Apple Support


”If you have more than one Apple TVassociated with the same Apple ID, you can keep the same appearance and apps for each device. This makes it seamless to switch between an Apple TV in the bedroom and one in the living room, for example. 

  1. Open Settings  on Apple TV.
  2. Go to Users and Accounts > iCloud and turn on One Home Screen.”


I hope this helps.
