Restart Apple TV - Here's how

Occasionally, you may need to restart your Apple TV. In this practical tip we will show you how.

How to restart your Apple TV

1. First select the "Settings" item in the main menu.
2. If you have an Apple TV of the 3rd generation or older, navigate to the "General" item. If your Apple TV belongs to the latest generation (4), select "System" instead.
3. At the end of the menu item "General" or "System" you will find the entry "Restart" (see picture).
4. Confirm with the "OK" button on the Apple TV remote control and your Apple TV will restart.
5. Alternatively, you can restart the Apple TV using the remote control: To do this, press and hold the "Menu" and "Down" buttons simultaneously until the LEDs on the Apple TV start to flash. On newer models, keep the "Menu" and "Home" buttons pressed at the same time.
