Is the tvOS 13 public beta bugging you? Here's how to downgrade!

Some Apple TV users can go back to tvOS 12 after installing the tvOS 13 beta – but not everyone.

Trying beta software on your Apple devices can be a fun experience – until it's not. If you installed the tvOS 13 beta and would like to go back to the current public version of tvOS, you have limited options. Take a look.

Downgrading your Apple TV 4K

If you installed the tvOS 13 beta on your Apple TV 4K, you're out of luck. There is currently no way to downgrade your Apple TV to an earlier version of tvOS. The reason: The Apple TV 4K doesn't include the necessary USB-C port to allow you to connect it to your Mac, and Apple doesn't provide an over-the-air restore image for the most recent public version of tvOS.

Downgrading your Apple TV HD

You can downgrade your Apple TV HD using both macOS Mojave and the macOS Catalina beta.

How to use macOS Mojave to downgrade your Apple TV HD

  1. Download the latest publicly available version of tvOS 12, saving the file to your Mac's desktop.
  2. Connect your Apple TV HD to your Mac using a USB-C cable.
  3. Launch iTunes on your Mac.
  4. Select the Apple TV icon at the top left of the corner of iTunes.
  5. Click Restore Apple TV while holding down the Option key.

  6. Select the tvOS file you downloaded.

From here, extraction and installation of the tvOS firmware begins. Once complete, you'll be asked to set up Apple TV on the device. Unplug the UBS-C cable when complete.

How to use the macOS Catalina beta to downgrade your Apple TV HD

Note: We were unable to successfully downgrade our Apple TV from the developer beta of tvOS 13 while running macOS Catalina developer beta 1. If you're running macOS Mojave on a partitioned hard drive or another Mac, we recommend using that instead.

  1. Download the latest publicly available version of tvOS 12, saving the file to your Mac's desktop.
  2. Connect your Apple TV HD to your Mac using a USB-C cable.
  3. Launch Finder on your Mac.
  4. Select the Apple TV under Locations in Finder.
  5. Click Restore Apple TV while holding down the Option key.
  6. Select the tvOS file you downloaded.

From here, extraction and installation of the tvOS firmware begins. Once complete, you'll be asked to set up Apple TV on the device. Unplug the UBS-C cable when complete.

Enhance your Apple TV experience

There's a long list of awesome accessories for Apple TV, including these two:

Apple AirPods 2

from $159 at Apple

For those times when you don't want to disturb others in your home, but you still want to listen to your favorite movie or TV show, go with the Apple AirPods 2. Now offering a wireless charger case, the popular earbuds feature the new Apple H1 headphone chip that delivers a faster wireless connection to your devices.

ViewSonic PX747-4K

$1,000 at Amazon

Offering an immersive cinema-like experience in 4K UHD, this projector can work on a screen up to 300 inches in 3,500 lumens. SuperEco mode allows the lamp to operate for over 15,000 hours before a replacement is needed. This projector supports most media players, gaming consoles, PCs, Macs, and mobile devices.

Final questions and comments

Apple will release tvOS 13 later this year. Let us know if you have any questions about the new Apple tvOS in the comments.

Cast some magic in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite with these spells!

Here are all of the spells that you can cast in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite!

It's time to get your wands and cast those spells because the Statute of Secrecy needs your help in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite! In the latest AR game from Niantic, makers of Pokémon Go and Ingress, players will be casting magical spells to help return Foundables from the Wizarding World back to their rightful places. There are a variety of spells that can be cast in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, so here are all of them.

Regular spells

These are the bread-and-butter of Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. These spells are the ones that you cast when you encounter Traces and need to get rid of the Confoundables that is endangering the Foundable of the Wizarding World.

Spell Glyph What it does
Accio Cast to get food at inns
Aguamenti Water spell that conjures water to put out flames
Alohomora Unlocking Spell that picks any lock
Arresto Momentum Charm that slows the velocity of any object
Bombarda Exploding charm that provokes small explosions
Diffindo Severing Charm that precisely and accurately cuts through objects
Ebublio A Jinx to entrap target within a bubble
Expecto Patronum Cast a Patronus to repel Dementors
Finite End the effects of a previously cast spell
Flipendo Use the Knockback jinx to disable opponents
Incendio A Fire spell that conjures fire
Meteolojinx Recanto Counter-charm that ceases the effects of Weather-Modifying Charms
Riddikulus Turns Boggarts into something amusing

These are all of the spells that we have encountered in the game so far. Some data mining has found five more spells that could be coming in the future for regular Traces: Rennervate, Reparo (repairing spell to fix a broken object), Revelio, Stupefy, Ventus, and Legilimens. Unfortunately, we do not know the glyphs and what their effects will be in the game (except for Reparo).

Speed and accuracy are both important when tracing these glyphs, as they can help you get Masterful casts if you're both fast and precise. We also have more tips on getting Masterful casts.

Combat spells

Oddity Traces and Wizarding Challenges will put you through combat, which has its own set of spells. Unfortunately, the game does not tell you which spell you're casting in battle, but here are the combat spells that you'll be using in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite:

  • Effervo
  • Ducklifors
  • Expecto Patronum
  • Incarcerous
  • Mustelifors
  • Petrificus Totalus
  • Reversis
  • Stupefy

You can also cast a spell to cultivate ingredients in Greenhouses

You can plant ingredients in Greenhouses as long as you have the seeds and watering cans for it. Once the ingredient is planted, you are able to cast Herbivicus on it to increase the harvesting yield of that ingredient once it is done growing.

Each ingredient that you can plant in a Greenhouse will have different amounts of time required for the growing period. They can range from one hour to 24 hours, with many of them somewhere in-between.

However, once an ingredient is done growing, you will only have 30 minutes to harvest the bounty. If you cast Herbivicus enough, you can at least double the yield, or even go up to 9X the normal amount. You'll also need to return to the Greenhouse that you planted at to reap the rewards, but it also benefits others who are in the vicinity as well.
