How to restart an Apple TV
First, you can use the remote.
- If you have a Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote — this remote has a touchpad and a microphone button — hold down the Home and Menu buttons until the light on your Apple TV flashes. Let go when the light on your Apple TV starts flashing and it will restart.
- If you have an older Apple TV Remote, hold the Menu and down buttons until the light on your Apple TV flashes. Let go, and your device will reset.
On an Apple TV 4K or Apple TV HD:
1. Open the Settings app, which has an icon that looks like a gray gear.
2. Scroll down to and click on "System."
3. Select "Restart."
On an Apple TV 3 or older:
1. Open your Settings app.
2. Open the "General" menu.
3. Scroll to and click on "Restart."
If for some reason your remote isn't working and you can't use it to restart your device, instead unplug your Apple TV, wait for six seconds, and then plug it back in.
