Can you reset appletv without using the remote?

My appletv is not responding to the usual reset keys on the remote. Is there a way of resetting the box without having to use the remote?

Howdy Windmill19,


There are 3 different ways to restart an Apple TV. This article outlines all of them:

If you can't restart your Apple TV because it's unresponsive, try the following:


  • Hold down Menu and Down on the Apple Remote for six seconds, and then release when you see the indicator light on the Apple TV blink rapidly.
  • Unplug the Apple TV power cord for three seconds, and then plug it back in.
