Question

How to restore Apple TV 4K (Without USB-C)

Hey,

Usb-C port is not available on AppleTV 4k Edition.

How is it possible to connect Appletv 4k to ituens ?

I heared ,something about recovery/DFU mode over a WiFi connection

I asked this question in Official Apple community Forum,but nobody answer.

According to this link:

https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT203028

If you see a yellow warning sign, while trying to update the software on your Apple TV 4K, contact Apple Support.

Is there any secret approach?

Best regards


Answer

hi - For anyone searching for an answer to this question - I just had the same problem and called apple support as instructed. They are arranging for the Apple TV to be collected and returned for repair.

I asked if there was any way to restore myself and was told no. I said that I was concerned that if, for whatever reason, I needed to restore the Apple TV after it was out of warranty that it would cost me - they said that if it was due to a software update problem then there would be no charge - even out of warranty.

I'm amazed that there is no way an owner can restore the box to factory settings - this seems like a really bad idea.
