Can I restore my Apple TV Gen 4 without a USB C cable thru iTunes?

If you're unable to restore an Apple TV 4 via the remote, and don't have a suitable USB C cable, an alternative to buying one is to make an appointment at an Apple store where staff should be able to restore the device for you.

Here's what you need

• A computer with iTunes
• A high-speed Internet connection
• A USB-C cable for Apple TV (4th generation) or a Micro-USB cable for Apple TV (3rd generation or earlier)

If you don’t have what you need to connect, make a reservation at a Genius Bar or contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Restore your Apple TV through iTunes

Unless the Apple TV is completely unresponsive it may be possible to restore without needing a cable and iTunes. See Restore your Apple TV to its factory settings - Apple Support to use the built-in restore process.
