Can’t change Apple TV name

My Apple TV 4th generation won’t let me change it’s name becuase I am unable to find it. I know how to change the AirPlay name, but I’m talking about the Apple ID name.

Apple TV (4th generation), tvOS 11.2.1

Hi. Open Settings > Accounts, select the one you want to change, and log out, then log in with the new Apple ID.

Note that the apps you installed are owned by the Apple ID that bought them, the same as an iPad or iPhone. It can get really confusing if you have apps owned by different IDs.


If you're trying to change the Apple ID that owns the device, the one in whose devices list it appears, you'll need to erase the Apple TV and set it up as new.
