How can I perform a factory reset on an Apple TV over a network from another room?

I would like to either perform a factory reset or erase user account information on a third generation Apple TV located in another room preferably over a network. This would allow me to manage the devices off site over IP with different people using the device and setting up their accounts for Netflix etc. Is this possible? I have heard of this being done without jailbreaking and I am curious to how they have done it.

Thanks Brian. It looks like the Apple Configurator app will reset settings and account info. I will look into third party apps as well. It needs to be as simple and quick as possible as we would be doing it daily to many ATVs.

  • How can i do a factory reset in snow leopard without the disk to start off new without losing my other programs

    how can i do a factory reset on snow leopard without the disk to start off new without losing my programs?

    You can't. You will need a Snow Leopard disc. You can purchase replacements for your computer from Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Apple - Support - Contact Apple Support.
    A "factory reset" means you erase the drive securely. All of your files will be removed permanently. I suggest you make a backup:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
      1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
           it to the Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

  • How do I perform a factory reset on my ThinkPad tablet?

    Question 
    My tablet has been reasonably unstable from day 1, even pre-installed apps like ebuddy force close, I have tried removing and reinstalling the app but it still force closes immediately. I also have a heap of other apps that force close on my tablet but run fine on colleagues tablets (4 of us bought them together)
    How do I do a complete factory reset on this thing, I don't want just my data removed I want a fresh Android install.
    AnswerTo perform a factory reset:
    Power the unit off.
    Then hold the power button until it gives you the short vibration
    Right when it does, hit the VOLUME UP button a couple of times.  (This may take a couple of tries.)
    This will bring up a menu that includes a full factory reset.
    Use the volume buttons to move the menu selection and the power button as the "enter" key.

    i tried to install an update and now i have nothing but a tablet with a running logo. i have read everything on this site and i am very confused about what to do.  i have tried several suggestions (wiing the cache, data and trying to reboot) but i get nowhere. i am not great with the computer stuff so past the relatively simple steps i get lost inthe tech language.  going to a site and downloading to a SD card would be easy if there was just one place and not so many different ones that have multiple options and steps.   Is there a simple explanation as to what i can do to get my TPT1 working again? i dont know why Lenovo doesnt have a something to download on their website since getting bricked seems to happen often.  I called tech support and got told they couldnt help me as it was out of warranty and a new board is $575!  All they offered was what is in the manual which doesnt cover this situation as factory restore doesnt work.  i really would like to get it working again.LAlady

  • How do I perform a factory reset on an iMac

    Bought an iMac from a friend who got it as a gift. But it's locked with a password from the original owner. Can I do a factory reset on it or do I need to try to contact the original owner? Thanks

    If you have the original system DVD you can do a clean install of the OS.  Take a look at this link for installing Mac OS X 10.6.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3910

  • How can you restore photo stream photos back to Apple TV after accidentally deleting from your iPad

    After accidentally deleting photo stream  photos on my iPad, this deleted photo stream photos on my Apple TV.  How can I restore these photos back to my Apple TV and also to  my iPad?  Suggestions welcomed

    If you have a backup of your iPad prior to the date of deleting your photos, you can find them. Otherwise, you might be able to find them.
    If you do have this backup, then you'll have to restore your iPad to that point.
    If you had a Mac with iPhoto, then when you connected your iPad, iPhoto would store the photos separately from Photostream.
    I despise Photostream. It's turned off everywhere on my system. It is one of the most useless pieces of junk that Apple has foisted on my Mac and iOS. But hey, that's just my opinion.

  • I have an ipod touch and dont know the password and also no longer have the computer used to sync the ipod. How can I do a factory reset to start over completely?

    I have an IPod touch and it had a password on it. I cant remember the password and do not have the computer anymore that I used to sync to iTunes. The message that I get is "iTunes could not connect to iPod Touch because it is locked with a passcode. You must eneter your passcode  on the iPod touch before it can be used with iTunes."
    How can I go back to factory setting (knowing that I will lose what is on the IPod) and use a different iTunes account.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • How do I perform a factory reset on my S6000L

    Hi I bougth a Lenovo Idea Pad S6000L, I set up a password for it and restarted it.
    I tried to enter to password to log in but the sysytem says it is wrong
    How can I restore the machie to factory mode?
    Thank you, Upfront
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Two problems with yash2710's suggestion:
    1)  He's suggesting a PC password cracker for someone using an Android tablet.
    2)  The OP may be a legitmate user who's forgotten his password, or he may have stolen someone's tablet and is trying to circumvent the real owner's password.  Let Lenovo Support determine if he's legit or not and help him if he is.

  • How can you perform a factory restore on an iMac running mountain lion, without the use of an apple id

    Hello!
    I am a computer tech working for a computer company.  We have an iMac here in the store which a customer needs restored to factory defaults. 
    I have tried the following:
         - Using 'command + r' to format and reinstall mountain lion (it is requesting an apple id that has purchased the mountain lion OS)
         - Using 'option' on boot up, same seneraio
    Is their any other way to perform some kind of equavilent procedure that would ready a iMac for re-selling?
    It's almost as though I need to purchase a copy of the operating system that has already come preinstalled on this system.
    Im not a mac savy user, maybe it's something simple i am missing.  Any help with this would be greatly appreiated!  Thanks in advance!

  • How can I do a Hard Reset on my apple tv 2nd gen, Thanks Guys

    I messed with my AppleTv, DMS configurations in order to try and get it updated.  Now it wont connect to my internet.  Is there any way to do a hard reset on the device to restore it to factory settings?  Thanks guys

    Yes, but have you tried the Reset function on the ATV(Settings>Genereal>reset)
    You will have to connect the device to your computer with a micro-usb cable and put the ATV in DFU mode(hold menu and play button down for 7sec) It should show up in iTunes then. Click restore, it will download and install the latest software(5.0).

  • How can I force browser to open a pdf document in a new tab from another online pdf document?

    Hello everybody,
    I create the internal magazine in InDesign. Then I create a pdf document in which there are some URL. After having verified that every link works, I upload this pdf on our website to be read online. The pdf document opens in the browser.
    The problem is that when people read the pdf, they click on the links but they open in the same tab than my pdf.
    What can I do to make sure that every link opens in a new tab?
    My apologies for English mistakes and thank you for your answers.

    I already found the Javascript solution in Acrobat... It works more or less (layout problems), but it's impossible to do one by one as I have many links in my doc...
    I don't understand why it's not possible to make it directly with InDesign before exporting it in pdf or while exporting it. There should be an option in the "new hyperlink" dialog box or in the pdf parameters.
    Does someone have another idea?

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    Yes there is a way to keep content on the tv while deleting it from your laptop. I don't recommend it and would suggest you consider an external (or even a network) drive to move content from your laptop to, rather than simply deleting it. If you want to know more, read THIS

  • How can I perform this kind of range join query using DPL?

    How can I perform this kind of range join query using DPL?
    SELECT * from t where 1<=t.a<=2 and 3<=t.b<=5
    In this pdf : http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/pdf/performing%20queries%20in%20oracle%20berkeley%20db%20java%20edition.pdf,
    It shows how to perform "Two equality-conditions query on a single primary database" just like SELECT * FROM tab WHERE col1 = A AND col2 = B using entity join class, but it does not give a solution about the range join query.

    I'm sorry, I think I've misled you. I suggested that you perform two queries and then take the intersection of the results. You could do this, but the solution to your query is much simpler. I'll correct my previous message.
    Your query is very simple to implement. You should perform the first part of query to get a cursor on the index for 'a' for the "1<=t.a<=2" part. Then simply iterate over that cursor, and process the entities where the "3<=t.b<=5" expression is true. You don't need a second index (on 'b') or another cursor.
    This is called "filtering" because you're iterating through entities that you obtain from one index, and selecting some entities for processing and discarding others. The white paper you mentioned has an example of filtering in combination with the use of an index.
    An alternative is to reverse the procedure above: use the index for 'b' to get a cursor for the "3<=t.b<=5" part of the query, then iterate and filter the results based on the "1<=t.a<=2" expression.
    If you're concerned about efficiency, you can choose the index (i.e., choose which of these two alternatives to implement) based on which part of the query you believe will return the smallest number of results. The less entities read, the faster the query.
    Contrary to what I said earlier, taking the intersection of two queries that are ANDed doesn't make sense -- filtering is the better solution. However, taking the union of two queries does make sense, when the queries are ORed. Sorry for the confusion.

  • How can i Perform a complete factory reboot on a macbook?

    I have just brought a new imac and now i want to perform a factory reset on my mac book to clean it all up, but i dont know how can anyone please help me.
    thanks in advance.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If there is absolutely nothing on your MacBook you want to save, you can insert the original system CD/DVD disc that came with your computer, use the utilities there to erase the hard drive, reset system passwords, and reinstall OS X and original applications included.
    There are various wipe schemes available that erase and over-write the data on the hard drive a number of times, however, these are not 100% guaranteed to absolutely remove all traces of original data.
    A determined person or government agency would likely still be able recover some information. If data security is a concern, you might be better purchasing a new hard drive to install and just keeping or destroying the original drive.
