Why Is There No Netflix App For Mac

[Emerson Mata]

Thankspogster. I watched a video on how to put the netflix link on the desktop of the Mac and it works for streaming. I was wondering why there is no app for Macbook. Netflix say it is Apples fault or doing and to ask them.

Thanks Lanny, I've subscribed to netflix since 2015 and streamed their content, downloaded movies to watch while flying etc. I have an app on my samsung phone allowing me to download movie's and series off-line.

do you offer access to Netflix in your listing? If so do you use your own account? Pay for another account? Make them sign in with THEIR account? I have a Netflix account myself and a ROKU I can hook up -- I just today got my first inquiry about Netflix in the unit. I'm wondering how others do it.

I have an additional device account, one for guests. If a guest doesn't have their own account, they can request me to set up access to ours as a guest viewer. Although after 2 years and many bookings, I have had only 2 requests for me to set them up. Most have their own account these days.

We have a guest account for Netflix and Hulu and an old iPhone with nothing else on it signed in for guests to cast to the tv, via google chrome-cast. Old fashioned but does the job at low cost. (We have no tv service.)

Hi Emilia, I'll just be starting to offer Netflix for my guest this coming month and thinking of the same set-up as yours (guest will have access to my account, but with a different user profile). I'd like to ask if you had any instances where your guests have messed with the other profiles on your Netflix account. If yes, what did you do? Or if not, what have you done to prevent this.

@Jose-Feliciano0, just this week I noticed the Grinch was watched on my specific Netflix profile and there were two young children staying in one of my Airbnbs at that time. It doesn't bother me and doesn't happen often. No one has ever messed with my settings or anything like that. I would say it is more frustrating when they log out of my account and into their own. I have to check every time I am turning over the space for a new guest that Netflix is correctly logged into the right account. I would never give my password to a guest so if they get logged out it would require me going over to the apartment to log them back in (luckily, no one has asked me to do that.)

Hi Jose, So I'm a little behind on this thread & I've been looking into all this stuff with Netflix & if you offer up your own account could the guest potentially mess with the other accounts on it. Anyway, their is a way you can lock your other profiles so they would only have access to the one you want them to have..

I have a "guest profile" for Netflix/Hulu/Amazon but it is still my account. The account requires a password to be modified in any way, including ordering movies that are not included in the subscription so there's no way guests could change or charge anything.

The only issue I had once was someone signed in on their own account, then messaged me claiming that someone was watching stuff on their account after they checked out. We didn't have any guests during the time they claimed this was happening and we had logged them out anyways, so I think they had left their account logged in elsewhere.

@Kelly1126 I have the Netflix account that allows for streaming on 4 devices at once. I just leave the account signed in. Same with Amazon: I'm actually not sure how many people can log in at once, but there has never been a conflict, maybe because Amazon Prime is pretty poor in Canada and there isn't much to watch. Some people choose to use their own account, but I do provide mine also so they can use it if they want.

We have Smart TVs and/or Roku's so that guests can access their own accounts. We remind them to sign out when they leave. We've also been using YouTubeTV instead of cable TV in some properties. So far, so good. The savings are great. Good luck with whatever you decide!

The new Netflix adaptation of The Talented Mr. Ripley is brilliantly shot in black and white. It's a meticulously built piece of filmmaking and looking at it shot by shot is a profound pleasure. Maurizio Lombardi/Netflix hide caption

I was happy that I didn't know a lot about the Netflix series Ripley before I watched it. I had heard, vaguely, that there was a new adaptation of the Patricia Highsmith novel The Talented Mr. Ripley, which has been adapted before, perhaps most famously in 1999's film of the same name. But I'd forgotten that the lead character, Tom Ripley, would be played by Andrew Scott, whom I have loved in everything from Fleabag (so sexy!) to Black Mirror (so creepy!). And I hadn't heard it was in black and white.

Perhaps not for that reason, but still to its great benefit, Ripley pulls hard in the opposite direction. This is chilled noir filmmaking, where deep shadows land in cheekbone hollows and light is carved into blocks by bars and blinds. Scott's eyes don't just look dark; they look like onyx marbles. It fits, because this version of Tom is not the kid who never meant to end up in a terrible situation and might have lived a perfectly normal life if not for his collision with Dickie's father, who believes Tom to be something he's not. This version of Tom is pure con artist from the opening frames, running small-time scams to rip people off for a little bit of money at a time, much of it specifically by pretending to be someone he's not.

Stephen Zaillian, the screenwriter and director, and Robert Elswit, the director of photography, are both Oscar winners. Zaillian won for writing Schindler's List; Elswit won for the cinematography on There Will Be Blood. (Elswit also was the cinematographer for Michael Clayton, which makes perhaps the most direct comparison not to the particular look of Ripley, but to its impeccable tension and dread.) They collaborate here and create a meticulously built piece of filmmaking that references classic noir and Hitchcock as well as Italian cinema greats, and just looking at it shot by shot is a profound pleasure.

In the very first scene you'll see in Ripley, Tom is moving a body down a flight of stairs. Were the scene in color, it might be overwhelmed by the sight of blood. In black and white, it is dominated by a thump-thump-thump, and by the sickening slackness of the body's uncontrolled limbs. Color would not enhance the dark corners of the story; it would in fact distract from them.

thanks, yes of course I can use Netflix on any other of my devices, phones, tablets, PCs... it just will not show up in the Smart Hub on that TV (but it was there until few weeks ago...)

I do also own a Chromecast with handset which has dedicated Netflix buttons, so if I connect that via HDMI to the TV it works, so no concerns there, it just bugs me that my perfectly OK TV despite being somewhat dated cannot access Netflix directly any longer.

Netflix is losing out here... the Chromecas now shows me all available programs from various sources, not just Netflix, but also Prime Video, Rai Play and several others, so I'm sort of not limited to Netflix with such device.

I'm just one of those people that if something does not work as before it irritates me...

I've read in another thread that Netflix might have changed the app, which may now be incompatible with my TV, being somewhat dated... so it is possibly not so much a matter of licence expiring but ruther just Netflix not bothering to ensure that the new app may also be compatible with older TVs...

I've written to their customer service, mentioning the problem and have received confirmation of receipt of my message. Let's see what they say, whether it's me not capable to find how to update the app, or them not intending to update the app for my TV due to it's age.

could be a licence issue, or could be a problem with not wanting to update the app for my TV model due to its age, possibly the two things are related. I've asked their Customer Service, will revert with findings when thay reply, thanks.

thanks, customer support has replied vaguely by pointing me to their page "this device is no longer supported...", however, this page mentions that I should have received a message indicating that my device is no longer supported, but I have received no such message... the Netflix app just disappeared from my TV from one day to the next...

Their support page also points to a page compatibledevices and they claim that a list of supported devices (per brand) is in that page. However there is no such list on that page, so I'm just left wondering on the fact the app no longer shows up just means my TV is no longer supported. I would not be surprised given the age of my TV, but I don't find the customer care very nice at all...

It didn't have to be this way. Perhaps there wasn't a more successful way to adapt this story, but maybe it need not have been adapted. The original "Avatar" wasn't lacking; there was no need, other than Hollywood's insatiable greed, to remake it.

Our teams have been working closely with Netflix where we have discovered a bug upon launch of the app that requires the background memory to be cleared. We know through the examples you have shared with us through our secure form workarounds such as:

We're still interested in tracking how many of our customers are having this problem so we have kept our secure form open, if you wish to register your examples please find our form here -

To reboot press Standby on your Sky Q remote (if the box responds to the remote), and then switch off and unplug at the mains.

Wait at least 30 secs and then Plug back in and switch your Sky Q box back on at the mains.

Wait for the on screen instructions to disappear and the front led to turn Amber. Then wait for 30 secs before you press Home on your Sky Q remote or if this is not working press the standby button on the front of the Q box (Amber led)

note: some features may take up to 5 minutes to return.

Netflix app not working on Sky Q box. One day it loads, the next day it doesn't. Now it seems to be completely defunct. I've tried Sky box on/off, updating Sky box, 0,0,1 on settings and apps refresh, everything that has been prescribed as a fix. Now assuming that there is either an inherent issue with Netflix app on Sky Q experienced by many, or my Sky Q box is malfunctioning. Has anyone else managed a permanent fix? If I paid for Netflix subscription through Sky would this magically fix the issue? Just being sceptical thanks in advance.
