Do you want to jailbreak your 3^rd generation Apple TV? Well, you have come to the right place because there is a way to do it without sweating it out. Here are some easy steps that you can follow to accomplish this task.

• iOS Version 5.0.2 or Earlier – Make sure that your Apple TV 3 is running on iOS version 5.0.2 or even earlier. If you are currently running a version that is later than 5.0.2, then you might need another third-party app. Just go to Settings > General > About so that you can determine the iOS version on your Apple TV 3.
• Earlier Versions of Windows Only – If you are going to jailbreak your 3^rd generation Apple TV, you need to verify first if you have access to a computer running Windows Vista, 7 or XP. This is because a third-party app like Snow3rd would only work with such, and is not compatible with Mac OS X or Windows 8 or later.
• Download Snow3rd – Go to https://snow3rd.com/ and click the download button. Just opt for the .zip file and save it to your desktop.
• Close All Open Processes – After downloading, close all open processes and apps running on your Windows computer.
• Connect the Apple TV 3 to Your Computer – Use a micro USB cable to connect your Apple TV 3 to your computer. But, make sure to disconnect the device from the power source before using. You must only use the mini USB cable to connect your Apple TV 3 to your computer.
• Install the Snow3rd .zip File – Find the .zip file of Snow3rd from your desktop and double-click on it to extract the contents. You will see a dialog box that will display on your screen.
