You don\u2019t want to ship it or sell it to someone with your account information still intact and stored on the device.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;\">It can be accomplished in two ways. If the device is working properly, you can reset it from the settings: boot the unit up, then go through the menus. First, click on \u201c<em>Settings<\/em>\u201d from the main menu. Once there, click on the very first option, \u201cGeneral\u201d. On the \u201c<em>General<\/em>\u201d options screen, scroll all the way to the bottom and choose the \u201cReset\u201d option. You\u2019ll see three options on the screen, <em>Cancel, Restore<\/em> (this option completely wipes your device clean and restores the unit to factory new. Besides, all software updates will be downloaded and installed), and <em>Reset All Settings<\/em>. This option allows you to reset your accounts and configuration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;\">Alternatively, you can use iTunes to quickly erase all the data. Using iTunes can also be done when your Apple TV is unbootable for any reason, or if it isn\u2019t operating properly. For this, connect the device to your computer. First, unplug your Apple TV, then plug a mini USB cable in the back, (right below the HDMI port). Then, connect it to a USB port on the computer. Next, plug the Apple TV back in. iTunes should recognize it. Just click on \u201c<em>Restore Apple TV<\/em>\u201d \u2013 then on the next screen choose the \u201c<em>Restore and Update<\/em>\u201d button. This option will download and install the latest version of the Apple TV software. Now you can disconnect the Apple TV from the computer. Reconnect the device to your HDTV and it should now boot and work properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;\">It\u2019s good to know how to factory restore the Apple TV.
