I can access my Netflix account via my computer and can stream to my Xbox and other laptops. I've been on the phone three different times with Netflix tech support and they're telling me it's currently a "known issue" with iPads - but there's no ETA and and I'm not seeing any other reports of this on other forums.
Both of my iPad2s (32gb WiFi) can now access NetFlix with no problem. However, these are my daughters' iPads. MY iPad is a 1st gen 64gb 3G and yet I still cannot access NetFlix. I'm getting the "cannot connect to Netflix at this time..." error.
Not sure what this "known issue" with iPads would be with Netflix's iPad app. That would be like Microsoft claiming a problem with Word for the Mac is an OS X or a particular Mac model problem they have nothing to do with whatsoever.
Just so you don't feel all alone on this, yes, I'm having exactly the same problem ... except that it's with my iPhone. I can connect through the TV and desktop ... but not using the Netflix application I just downloaded from the iTunes store. I launch the "app" using WIFI and get the "We are unable to connect you to Netflx. Please try again later" message. Worse ... the "app" is frozen ... so there's no maneuvering.
I am having the exact same issue on my iPad 2 (16gb wifi) and, just like you, the Netflix screen freezes with the error message up immediately upon opening the app. Also having no problems streaming from my iPhone, laptop, or PS3. Sorry I can't help but I'm glad I'm not alone!
So I called NetFlix tech support for the 4th time last night. This time, they didn't even pretend to have a clue what the problem was. They had me reinstall the app, they changed my password, blah blah blah. Finally they told me "it's obviously an Apple DNS issue you should make an appointment at the Genius Bar". HUH????You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding. Me. I can get to EVERY website and access my corporate Exchange email. This is NOT an DNS issue and Apple is not my ISP. So with that, I've canceled my NetFlix account.
I can't get access to netflix via iPad. I can via wii and computer. Netflix has sent me to apple but I don't want to pay 39.99 for support. Hoping someone knows what to do so I can get access given my son is using the wii right now
Assuming that your iPad (regardless of whether it's an iPad or iPad2) can connect to netflix.com through the iPad's Safari browser, you're probably not going to get this resolved. The problem is at the Netflix end and the fact that they are redirecting users to Apple indicates that they don't have a solution and are grasping at straws. That said, I suppose it's possible that Apple made a change in iOS 4.3.3 that may have broken connectivity with Netflix's streaming servers but if that were the case, we would see a lot more users complaining about this.
Coming around full circle (at least in my case), for sh!tz and grinz, I reopened my Netflix account today. Now I'm getting it once again on my iPad and both iPad2s. Note that I had to delete the Netflix app and reinstall it on all 3 iPads, but I'd done this MANY times over the past several weeks.
i'm assuming it's something on the netflix servers and how they handle requests from the apps on Apple devices. As you say they've obviously changed something on their backend. too bad they wouldn't own up to it instead of trying to say "Apple DNS" obviously they don't understand basic networking ;-)
I am having the same problem, started july 8. did a netflix rest in the settings box on my ipad1, reinstalled my app, then called netflix support. they found out that my ip address had me in Colorado, rather than Virginia, and that was the problem. I use DSL for my internet connection. They suggest I call Apple support, but Apple would not help. I will try to release my ip address and see if that fixes it.
I have a Panasonic Blu-ray player that has Netflix on it. I set it up a few months ago and it has worked fine for streaming movies and viewing my Netflix instant queue. But recently I've started getting error messages when trying to access Netflix. "Cannot connect to netflix, please try again."
Occasionally a Netflix client such as a Blu-ray player or TV can get "confused" about its account authorization. When this happens, you may start getting error messages when you attempt to access Netflix on a device that was previously working fine. This can happen on an LG or Sony or Panasonic or Samsung or VIZIO Blu-ray player or web-enabled TV, or on the ROKU streaming box or Apple TV (among others). The message you get can vary but may be one of these:
This procedure is also helpful if you are getting rid of a Blu-ray player or TV that you've previously set up for Netflix and you want to remove your account from the device. It used to be possible to manage devices online in your Netflix account but they've since disabled that feature. Currently if you want to remove a device from your Netflix account online, you have to disable *ALL* of the devices and add them back in one at a time.
But there is a way to break the link to your Netflix account from the actual device itself. To do so, get into the Netflix screen on that device (or the Netflix error screen, as the case may be), then using your device's remote, hit the following buttons:
Go back into Netflix on that device again and you will then need to re-authorize the device with your Netflix account. This may require an activation code and a trip to www.netflix.com/activate to enter that activation code, or it might just entail logging into Netflix from the device using your account e-mail address and password. The procedure for activating a new device for Netflix varies a bit from device to device. But once it has been re-authorized, the error messages should be gone and the device should work properly again.
6/14/13 - happening again: big surge in interest in this topic suggest a Netflix network outage. I can confirm the same problem trying to access Netflix from my phone. A Netflix network outage is likely culprit.
I got cable this weekend And now when I go to the apps it says "unable to connect to server. Try again later." The TV is connected to the internet just fine. And my internet isn't down. I can go to Already installed apps like Netflix and it works fine streaming.
If your TV won't connect to the internet, you should perform a network status test to help you choose which guide you need. Navigate to Settings > General > Network > Network Status and run the test. Pay close attention to any error messages, and whether there is an X between the TV and the router or between the router and the globe.
If the issue continues, we recommend contacting your ISP or the manufacturer of your router for further assistance. If they help you determine the TV as the source of the issue, service may be required. You are welcome to send us a private message with the full model code and serial number in order to see if the unit is within the warranty or if it qualifies for any possible options. Messages can be sent using the following link or by visiting any mod's profile. -->
The Netflix error code NW-3-6 is a result of various issues. The error message says, "We're having a problem connecting to Netflix. Please try again or visit www.netflix.com/help." This means the issue is with the user and the network. The two potential reasons are:
Network issues often pop up due to cluttered caches on devices and apps. A restart could fix the issue more often than not. You have to turn off your device, be it a mobile, laptop, PC, or Smart TV, and wait a few seconds before staring at it again.
One major reason for using a cache is to keep the device on for a long time. This causes memory to bloat and stack the cache. A restart will refresh the OS and eliminate the cache, giving it a fresh start.
Restart your Modem or Router to see if that works. If you press the small button on your Router four times, it resets the settings to default. If you suspect issues with the router, speak to your service provider and fix it.
For TVs and Monitors, gamers tend to configure the settings to suit particular games. These configurations may corrupt your domain name and IP address information. Making changes or setting the default configuration may help. Here's how you can do it:
If you try to record movies or TV shows on streaming platforms like Netflix, they show the black screen. However, users wish to record movies on Netflix for offline viewing.

After recording, you can remove unwanted noise with AI, edit with an inbuilt media player, and export the final video in multiple formats. The software works exceptionally with all streaming platforms. Download now, and record your Netflix screen.
Check your internet and router connection upon encountering Netflix error code NW-3-6. Also, the DNS settings and console configurations must be changed to resolve the error. Refer to the detailed guide above to make the changes. If you want to record Netflix without the black screen, no screen recorder is better than EaseUS RecExperts to capture movies and TV shows in UHD video and audio.
