How do you know what generation your Apple TV is?

How can you tell what generation your Apple TV is and what the version IOS it is running? Thanks for any help!

In the link provided, there is a section which tells which model you have; e.g.
Apple TV (3rd generation)
Year introduced: Early 2012
Color: Black
Model number on bottom:
A1427 for Apple TV (3rd generation)
A1469 for Apple TV (3rd generation) Rev A
The A1427 or A1469 is printed on the bottom of the apple tv with very fine print, i had to use a flashlight to see my model number.

  • How do you know what generation your iPod touch is?

    I have just bought an iPod Touch - my first iPod of any type.  How do you know what generation it is? There is nothing on the packaging and the only clue in the 'About' screen appeared to be the version 4.3.3.  I am trying to purchase a universal dock adapter and need to know the generation in order to get the right one.

    you can inform Apple of your displeasure by leaving a comment via iPod Touch Feedback.

  • HT1498 How do I know what generation my apple tv is ?

    I just purchased my Apple TV yesterday for $109.00 it is absolutely amazing the technology and all the things you can do with it. I am still playing around with it trying to figure it out but my question is how do I know what generation I have !!?

    Look at the tiny type toward the bottom of the underside of your device (use strong light and a magnifying glass). The second line starts with "Complies with..." and it ends with an "A" followed by a 4-digit code. If that code is "1378" you have a 2nd gen ATV, if it is "1427" you have a 3rd gen one.

    I was just given an Ipod from my brother because he has updated his. and the battery isn't working so I was going to just replace it butI don't know what generation it is. could any one help me on where to find it.

    Hello,
    You can visit this page to find out which model iPod you have. Compare the specs of your iPod to the ones on that page and you'll be right (specs such as HD size, Touch/Click wheel and so forth).
    Hope this helps,

  • How do you know what week your macbook was made?

    I am very concerned about the discoloration on my new macbook and I have heard that if it was made before a certain week that apple will not fix the problem, so I would like to know what week my macbook was made.

    Quick question, how do you know if you have the "new batch" (the units that solve the discoloration and heat problems)?
    They had to customize mine because they didn't have any already "configured-to-order" in stock. I should get it in 5-6 business days. Does that mean mine is coming off the new batch?

    Your post establishes you have an iPad 2.   Is that not the case?
    An iPad 2 would be a Second Generation iPad.   an iPad 3 a Third Geneation iPad. and so on.

  • How do i know what generation my ipod is

    how do i know what generation my ipod is - I want to download audio books from my library and they list ipod classic.  Will my ipod work?

    I think a 2004 iPod is probably 4th gen, which is also called "iPod (Click Wheel)" (b/w screen) or "iPod photo" (color screen).  This document shows all the models
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353
    "iPod classic" is the name of the current 160GB iPod that uses a hard drive for storage.  However, it can also refer to ANY "classic design" iPod that uses a hard drive for storage, going back to the 1st gen iPod.
    If they are standard MP3 or AAC audio files (with no copy protection), and they play in iTunes, you should be able to sync them to an iPod and play them.

  • How do you know what version Mac OSX is on ANOTHER drive?

    How do you know what version Mac OSX is on ANOTHER drive without starting that drive
    and seeing the system profiler? In fact, because the drive wont start up, Now I am wondering if it is pre-intel. ? CMD-I doesn't do it. Thanks

    Why mess with this? Well, I got the HDDs and the enclosure from my previous PPC, so I'd like to make use of it all without $pending again.
    I don't see any problems with using the card and drives on your new Mac. Hardware is too pricey to just leave behind if you can't help it. With the new drivers I suspect you'll be able to use your drives, I just don't think you'll be able to boot from them if the interface card requires drivers. They should still be very fast storage devices, and probably reliable due to the ongoing support the vendor has provided.
    I went through the same type of issue when I bought my Dual G4 1.42 Tower (upgraded from a Quadra 840AV ). Several of my devices were SCSI (I was into SCSI Wide/Fast drive arrays at the time for video capture), and I was able to use an Adaptec card for scanning for several years with Jaguar and Panther. I'd spent quite a bit of cash to ensure high quality and performance and didn't want to loose all of the investment. Eventually the SATA hard drives and other USB and Firewire replacements became so cheap and performance improved enough that loosing SCSI with Tiger was not a big deal. I do think I should get about 5 years of hardware compatibility with most products and I keep older Mac's around for dedicated services as long as they aren't a costly maintenance issue.
