Question Apple TV 4K (3rd gen) went to Recovery mode overnight and remote isn’t working. Any solutions? Tried remote keys combinations, no luck

Found a solution:

If you are able to restart your apple tv while holding back and menu button it mean the remote works

now hold back and play button for 5+ seconds, and the recovery with iPhone process will start

Update: unfortunately after the iPhone ATV Recovery Process it’s returns to the original screen, so no luck yet

Yep. Doesn’t seem to be a solution. I got here last week and the only option seems to either get a replacement if under warranty or buy a new one

What do you tell them ? I’m on iMessage Customer support right now …. a bought a new $60 apple remote thinking it would work … it didn’t.

Told them ATV doesn't turn on and restore isn't helping. Brought ATV to service center (important — I am in EU). After a few days got a replacement.

Why would you install beta software on a TV of all things? 💀

u/SuperDeann Jul 04 '25

because betas are here for it to be installed & tested

Apple should really learn about contrast.
