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.

Apple doesn't market the AirPods Pro as a great way to hear your favorite shows, but maybe they should. Because they're not just one of the best wireless earbuds on the market, but they can be an essential part of your TV watching experience.
Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, which is most of the AirPods Pro lifecycle, I've been casually using these headphones as a part of remote watch parties, so I could hear my friends in Google Meet or Discord in one ear while I listen to a horror movie or sports event with the other.
I first saw a usefulness to listening to a TV show or broadcast with AirPods Pro in because of how sound can leak into wherever I'm watching something. I live on a street that is highly congested with loud traffic and passersby, so I've often used headphones to try and block out those sounds. The noise-canceling powers of AirPods Pro really came in handy when I can't stop someone from honking outside.
Part of my journey as a TV watcher as of late has involved breaking a very bad habit: not being focused on the show or movie at hand. It led me to watch The Witcher better, as I focused more on the show and less on my phone. The AirPods Pro, I'll argue, enable this to an even better degree, with this heightened intimacy between your ears and the sounds of the show.
This became even more true, though, as I watched the Station Eleven finale. In a scene where Kirsten (Mackenzie Davis) and Alex (Philippine Velge) were talking, the rain in the background sounded far more real than any rain in any show I'd ever heard. In fact, I believed that it was actually raining outside my window. I even thought "rain wasn't in the forecast," and walked over to check for myself.
In that moment, I realized that AirPods Pro were going to be my primary means of watching TV going forward. Sure, I can already imagine plenty of people with multi-channel surround sound systems writing in and saying I've created a poor imitation, but I don't need that kind of rig yet, and I love how these headphones can fill that void for me.
As you may be able to guess, I'm not watching a lot of TV with other people in the room. This is both just the way that the pandemic affected my life, and a byproduct of watching too much pro wrestling (and not living with any other fans of the art form).
Curious how this works? You don't even need AirPods to try out something similar, as watching TV with headphones in is nothing new. Roku devices, via the Roku mobile app, have supported both wired and Bluetooth headphones for years. So, with one of the best noise canceling headphones and a Roku, you too can test out my weird new ideal.
If that doesn't work, you can pair AirPods with an Apple TV in a few steps. Start by holding down on the TV button, and selecting the AirPlay button on the screen that pops up. Your AirPods should be an option on that screen. Having trouble? Hold the pairing button on the back of your AirPods case until the light turns white.
A few months ago, I said that I stopped binge-watching Netflix, and it was the best decision I ever made. I use that free time differently, mainly to train for running marathons, where ChatGPT is also involved.
Without spoiling anything, I will say that Debicki and West are both spectacular, as is the new roster of actors playing the royals during this particular timeframe. Watching the story unfold, I started remembering things from my teen years about Lady Di, her death, Charles, and the Royal family. It was all a blur, of course.blogherads.adq.push(function () blogherads.defineSlot( 'medrec', 'gpt-dsk-ros-mid-articleX-uid7' ).setTargeting( 'pos', ["standarddisplay","mid-articleX","mid-article"] ).setTargeting( 'viewable', 'yes' ).setSubAdUnitPath("ros\/mid-articleX").addSize([[300,250]]).setLazyLoadMultiplier(2););
The new universal application (iTunes link) is now available for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. The free software allows Netflix customers with unlimited memberships to stream content from their Instant Watch queue.
Users can pick up watching where they left off with a movie or TV show on another device, such as their iPad, TV, or computer. The application also allows users to manage their Netflix queue, but only for Instant Watch. There is not currently a way to manage the queue for mailed discs.
My only complaint is you can't manage your mailer queue via the app. When a friend suggests a movie to me, I immediately pop open PhoneFlix and put it in my queue. I guess I'll just keep using that for mobile queue management.
Glad the app is out. lame that it's one of those not optimized for the Retina display. Kind of inexcusable that the interface icons aren't high res since this is shipping two months after the iPhone 4 release. I can understand all of their movie artwork not yet being optimized but the splash screen and interface? Lame.

Seriously?!
Does it really matter? This is an app to watch movies not look at pretty graphics and icon.
