I'm a new NetFlix user and I want to watch NetFlix on my 1st generation iPad. THe current NetFlix app available in the App store requires a minimum of IOS 6. The iPAD 1 maxes out at IOS 5.1.1.? Is there any way to obtain an older version of the app that is support in the iPAD 1?

Brilliant. Thank you so much for helping me with this. Like Savagewv, I too searched everywhere, and even contacted Netflix support. You are the only person that has ever been able to answer this question with a valid solution. It's a long way around a simple problem, but it works. Shame on the App Store and many thanks to flambocious!

It is possible, a bit of a hassle, but possible. First, you'll need to download the Netflix app through iTunes on your computer, this will make it show up as "purchased" in your library. After that, open up the App Store on your iPad 1 and go to the 'purchased' tab. When you try to install it this way it will tell you that you need iOS 6 or higher, but will also ask if you would like to download an older version of the app.

I searched many sites and contacted netflix, and almost gave up. This worked flawlessly. (I did however have to upgrade my first gen ipad to iOS 5.1 prior to loading netflix). Other sites and blogs said it wasn't possible. Thanks!!

I've tried this method and I'm still getting the prompt that I need to be on 6.0. I'm clicking on the Netflix icon and it takes me to version 5.0.2 updated Oct 28, 2013. I click on FREE, then Install App, then I get the 6.0 prompt and I don't see anything in the purchased tab. Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks.

Double checked my iPad and it wasn't installed. Just wondering what I'm doing wrong. I have the latest version of iTunes (11.1.3) and I'm trying to get this installed on the iPad first generation. Thanks for any help!

App Store will ask you:"Download an older version of this app. The current version requires iOS 6.0 or later, but you can download the last compatible version.", just click on Download and that's it.

Thank you for you response. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get it to work. Maybe it's just because I tried installing it previously. When I open App Store on my iPad, click on Purchased, then clicking on Netflix, it brings up the page like you would normally see it after searching for it. The "install" button is quickly disabled, I only assume because of the version of IOS I have as it stats it doesn't support 5.1. Any other suggestions? Oh, I also disabled iCloud thinking it kept trying to install that version. Thanks again.

Anyone found a solution by any chance? I've tried all of the same steps you tried and still getting the ATV-ui92 error on my 3rd gen Apple TV for over a month now while Netflix works just fine on other devices.

Its a ongoing issue , which our technical research team is already investigating, unfortunately we don't have a instant resolution for this as well as there is no specific ETA, right now we will be escalating this issue and you need not have to chat back to check the status of the escalation.

Reporting a problem notifies our teams to investigate the issue and work on resolving it as quickly as possible. There is no timeframe for it to be resolved. However once resolved you will be able to sign in to Netflix app on apple tv. You need not have to chat back to us for checking the status of the escalation.

Thanks for checking up on this. I'm glad to see that Netflix is aware of this issue already. I guess the best we can do for now is just wait for them to fix it. Really appreciate your initiative here!

Netflix logged me out while tv was off two nights ago. I tried all the steps Netflix gave me, changed passwords, reset apple tv (3rd generation). My account is also in the US but I also spend a lot of time in Mexico City. Nothing works. Netflix passed the ball to Apple and Apple has no answers. I'm pretty frustrated with this situation. The rest of the apps (Amazon Prime, Appletv, PBS, etc.) work just fine. I am certain it is something Netflix is doing, nothing to do with AppleTV.

Here is what I just got from Netflix on this: "But just to set your expectations, If you continue to experience this error after performing a full factory reset, Then there may be an unrecoverable issue with your device. If that is the case, Then the next step would be for you to reach out to your device manufacturer - Apple , for more assistance." Not very encouraging.

I have a 1st generation ipod touch running ios 3.1.3. I want to run netflix on it but when I try to install from itunes I get the message "The app "Netflix" was not installed on the IPOD because it requires a newer version of IPOD software." I have read from goggling this issue that netflix streaming on the 1st gen ipod is possible. What am I doing wrong? Or is this not possible at all?

I was running netflix on an itouch first generation ios 3.1.3 untill the glich with the app store. The newest update will not run on it now and I lost the original version when I reset the Itouch thinking the problem was on my end. I am looking for an archived app somewhere. You'd think apple would support people who have older devices by keeping the older versions that were compatable archived and available. If I find one I will post the link to the file here.

I bought 2 iPod touch 1st Gen's for my little kids for christmas. The only reason I bought them was so the kids could watch netflix on them. So I get them home Nov 20th 2011 and download netflix and start streaming music its great! Then on christmas morning there is an update for the netflix app and bam now my kids can't watch netflix WTH Apple and Netflix this is rediculous! I can't believe you just kill support for a device without mentioning it in your blog Netflix or on your community pages Apple! I am so mad right now!

That's completely up to Netflix. Apple is not involved; they can't decide for Netflix what features will and will not be supported, what hardware requirements the developer decides will be required, and can't make announcements for any developer; that's the developer's responsibility and perogative.

The 1st-gen iPod touch was discontinued well over three years ago, and has significantly lower performance than current iPods. So the lack of support for those older devices and versions of iOS in new versions of any app is not at all surprising.

If you had said it's "incompatible" instead of "cannot handle it" or specified the version of the Netflix, perhaps the new Netflix app is so incredible, or rather it "does so much" MORE, you might be within the realm of having some useful input, but the following:

Sorry, Michael, but there's nothing more anyone can say. The current version of Netflix's app requires iOS 4, which cannot run on the first-generation iPod touch. If you didn't keep a backup copy of the old version of the Netflix app, there's nothing you can do since that old version has been replaced.

I just bought the 4th generation Apple TV to replace my old Apple TV. I primarily use the Netflix app and noticed that on the new Apple TV you cannot filter by genres when searching on Netflix like you used to be able to on the old apple TV's Netflix app. Has anyone else noticed this? It is very frustrating to use when compared to the old Apple TV app as in the old apple tv's netflix app you could select a genre category and view all the movies in it. However, in the new apple tv's netflix app a few movies are displays for all the genres and you have to scroll up and down to get to your genre.

Just replaced 3rd generation Apple tv with 4th generation and the Netflix app feels like a really bad downgrade. Not only are genres gone, but half the screen is taken up by a picture leaving basically one row of like 5 movies in view. Way to much scrolling. I know you can use siri to find a movie by title. But most often I find movies just by browsing. Apple should just replace Netflix app with their own. Apples was good. I liked Apple TV 3 consistent interface between apps. Seems like this is no longer going to be the case.
