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.

If you use Airplay or Screen Mirroring
Airplay and Screen Mirroring are no longer supported by Netflix.
To use your iPhone or iPad to watch Netflix on a TV, use a supported connection.
Also it has to be an 'ad free; type of account:
True, but in this case legal won that battle. Plus it's easier. We use Swank for licensing the physical media playback anyways so we just tacked on the streaming service and we have our butts covered.
@ger Sorry if I am missing something here but you would assign license / push out the managed app via MDM / Jamf to the apple tv device, it is the same as the ipadOS app.
Instead of airplay you are now playing the content directly via the Netflix app installed on the Apple TV.
As unhelpful as it sounds, anyone that has a netflix account and wants to display content, will need to log into the Apple TV app then navigate the interface to play.
Airplay (I imagine) has less ways of ramming adverts down your throat so the main streaming apps cut off support as opposed streaming content directly in app.
Ok great. Yes either, just depends if they still have the remote but sign-in on screen.
* Yes we do, either by managed iPad or unmanaged iOS device.
* Yes it sure is, send out a profile to your Apple TV's and allow list either;
- iOS devices that are allowed to use Apple TV Remote app with this ATV
- Apple TV's that are allowed to be controlled with iOS / Apple TV Remote app
You can browse individual managed devices to select and it will populate: name and mac address. Otherwise, set to all allowed.
I have to use JAMF School, and it seems to be different to your PRO version.
In ATV Profile under tvOS payload / Apple TV Remote / I may allow all devices with Apple TV Remote App to control ATVs. Or I may enter the MAC-Address of allowed devices.
As I do not want students to use the Netflix App and as I do not want them to control the ATVs with their iPad, I did not select the ALL devices option.
For testing purpose I entered the MAC of my iPhone, WLAN and Bluetooth. ( do I have to enter it with or without : , like AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF or like AABBCCDDEEFF )
But I could not connect to the ATV.
I do not have your "Controlled Apple TV Devices" option, but I may assign a device group containing the ATVs to the profile.
Unfortunately my JAMF School WebUserInterface is in german and I can not find any setting to switch to english, Windows and Browser are set to english. My account information is even shown in english. :-(
Strange about not seeing the settings, maybe just confirm there isn't any filtering toggled on when creating the profile as those two settings are meant for different models and will disappear if filtered with the other device. Good luck!

Hi I am trying to access Netflix on my ipad but it dosen't recognise my email directly on the app but I can't seem to find a link through the Sky Go either? Are you able to watch and download Netflix through Sky?
The Netflix app on Windows/OXS/android/iOS etc. is supposed to permit a login using the same credentials as the app on Sky Q/Glass/Stream, and will give the access permitted by the relevant add-ons to the Sky subscription.
Having same issue. Have a Netflix offer through my Sky. However when I try to log on to Netflix through my iPad, it's wanting a payment method to re subscribe?
I have tried both the app and through the browser with no success. Is this a new thing? I used to watch through my iPad when I had Netflix through my Sky previously, before they changed the number of users allowed. Help!
Ipad on AP11 FW 1.4.1 is unable to stream video on netflix and IMDB
On the netflix APP, I get an error, Network Error, we could not play this video due to a network error. Pls try again later.
If I tunnel VPN thru the wifi connection, the same IPAD is able to successful stream video on netflix and IMDB.
All other android and windows PC is able to access netflix and IMDB normally.
I have already disabled the app control feature totally. But the traffic block still occurs. (Change to application activity summary)
@aberchin This is not expected behavior I have tested with an AP12 with an iPad running 13.3 and I tested Netflix and unlimited and limited bandwidth with 1MB and it still ran. Please reach out to support to assist in troubleshooting.
