Is this about that status light?


Regarding which model Apple TV box is this?

First try a cold restart (disconnect from power for 30 sec or so), then try again. If that doesn’t bring improvement, then the system software may need to be reinstalled externally. How that is done, depends on the exact model Apple TV.

  • If you have an Apple TV HD or earlier, then users can restore themselves through a computer and USB cable.
  • If you have an Apple TV 4K, then there is no USB port, and you will need assistance from Apple for restoring.
