Can you provide an example of one of the movies that is not working correctly then? Also, what does "movies I was wanted to see from Netflix are not working mean"? Describe what does not work about the movie, then someone can see if they can duplicate the issue and/or provide you with any thoughts. Are you using the Netflix app, or logging into the website? Also, what troubleshooting have you already tried.

I held off seeing "The Dig". Really looking forward to it. I try to watch it and all I get is the spinning wheel. Other things are loading fine. I am using my iPad. This just happened after the latest update to the iPad 14.4. I tested another movie I had no interest in, "Bridgerton" and it does the same thing. Others work fine, no problems. The Crown, Penguin Bloom etc.

Of possible note: I'm in Canada, so Netflix releases here are different from other places. I did check before I updated 10 14.4 and saw that Netflix connections had been mentioned with iPhones (which I do not have) with earlier versions of this update. The response from Apple to these problems was that Netflix and Utube were not their products so deal with them, but the problem is with the update from Apple since it started right after I updated and never happened before. I thought since those responses pre-dated this update that this problem would have been resolved so I went ahead with the update. That's probably something I just won't do in the future...

Well, that is understandable. It would seem that However, if it a problem with the app, it could be either, even though you believe the problem to be the app or the iOS. If it is a loading problem, it may be the app, or it may be an issue with the version of Netflix. I've got someone that is trying to check for me, as I do not have a Netflix account. Of course, another issue is that we are in the US, but it should give me some idea. Alright, this person has their iPad on iPadOS14.4 and Netflix v13.13.0. They were able to open and play both of the movies that you listed. While they did not watch the entire movie on both The Dig and Bridgerton. So, I'm not sure if it has to do with being in the US or whatever, but I would ask that you take the time to contact Netflix support and see if they know about problems with iPadOS14.4.

Thanks so much for trying that out and testing it for me. I have the latest versions of both Netflix and of course now the latest iPad OS. This did not happen (ever) until I upgraded the iPad OS. And the I looked at comments apparently it was an issue they were trying to iron out for the iPhone (apparently people with iPhones were having Netflix issues also). I have a feeling it's something apple has to iron out for the iPad now. I checked again this afternoon and re-booted the wifi also and it's still happening, but just to a few like "The Dig. " At this point it's just very frustrating too consider facing trying to contact Netflix. It takes hours to get through and get an answer and this was my gift to me (it was my birthday haha) 2 hours off thing for this weekend... I may just wait for them to duke it out between themselves. This back and forth between apple and Netflix, I've been there before since I cut the cable and have used Netflix for years. (I may just watch it on the old iPad and stunt through the crack... Other shows are working absolutely fine on Netflix, and the Dig was the only one I wanted to see).

You're welcome. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the fact you are in Canada and we are the US, but like I said the person that tested this for me did not experience any problems at all with the movies you wrote about. I still believe it wouldn't hurt for you to send a quick message to their support to see what they have to say, in case it is a copyright issue or something like that. Also, they may have a support forum that might contain a hint, especially since you report that other movies are working just fine. But, glad I could help where I did.

Thanks. I may do that today but since it does work on the other iPad which also lived with me win Canada it's not a copywrite thing and it dopes work, just not with this update (that iPad is so old it's not got the recent updates so not is an Apple issue) so the fact that Netflix shows me this movie on the other iPad says it's Apple. Unfortunately now I noticed it has affected my ability to stream from local tv stations as well. All of those "apps" are up to date also so I think I may get in the queue to talk with apple. Again, all were working fine until the update, last night I got "unable to play" or whatever on the TV apps. It worked after I rebooted everything. It seems I am getting the issues that the iPhone folks got. And without cable that's my only avenue for viewing things. Is there a "c hat line" or something or somewhere where I can talk to Apple. I honestly just don'y have the time for all this. I honestly don't. I'm up to my ears with trying to sort government snafus regarding pensions etc and this is just one more thing I don't have time for. Any news of fixes to the update? I just wished I'd never updated. I wish they would fix it. When I read about these updates they seem quite honestly to be totally focused on phones despite the fact that apple still produces iPads.

If you use the Contact Support link at the top of the page here to contact Apple Support, there is a chat option. To be honest, I don't know if you will see an update to correct this. It has to be determined to be an iOS problem. Given that it affected you and did not affect the person I had test it, then it is a 50/50 chance that it is an iOS issue. It is for you, but I believe you can see how difficult that is to diagnose if others are not having this issue. I'm not sure why all these other movies work but the two you reported how that could be an iOS issue.

Thanks for your help (Again to clarify once more, it works on the older iPad that was not updated but not on the one that was updated so I am certain it is the OS problem. (If it was Netflix and the the OS why does it work fine with the OS that was not updated? ). It's too busy a time for me to pursue this. I'll wait for the next update. They seem to come up with them often. I'm just weary of updates bringing more problems and not improving my "experience" with my Not phone related Mac products. It's frustrating. Thank you for your efforts.

I like to watch a tv program/movie now and then on a cruise when I need a break from all the festivities or just to unwind before bedtime. I have not been impressed with the TV programs/movies available but do enjoy many of the helpful features Carnival provides via TV.

If you have a Netflix account and an iPad/iPhone or computer with Win 10 you can download (at home) using your wifi some programs that will be available when you cruise (some must be viewed within 48 hours or up to a month). I am also told there is no limit (except for your memory limits) but I think 2 or 3 will suffice for me. You do have to install an app first. You will not be using the internet but you must be signed in to your account. As long as you haven't logged off your account you are good to go. I asked that question.

Unplug you will enjoy it more. But that is a great suggestion for those who are addicted. My enjoyment is sitting on my balcony rain or shine watching the ocean 24/7. Beats Netflix and day of the week.

That's a good idea - pre-download videos to watch on the cruise. I think if you tried to live stream without the prior download it may be a problem. Bandwidth on a cruise ship is limited and expensive. They may even block it, not sure.

I did just that in June of 2017. I was in need of entertainment on a plane from Europe, worked like a charm. Downloaded in Paris and laughed the enter way home watching Kimmy Smitt! I understand that Netflix just started allowing downloads in late May, great timing on my part. I still need to finish ONB, so my pending cruise will be a binge fest, sometime during the 7 days.

I have Amazon Prime and do this for when I am in places where I cannot get wi-fi... like car trips. Just finished the series Suits this way, planning on picking up another series soon. I think there is a limit of number of programs .. 15 or so at a time.

YES! I'm the OP and I wondered how many posts were going to tell me to uplug in spite of me explaining very thoroughly how much I as going to enjoy my cruise and simply asking if anyone else had tried Netflix on the cruise. That's one of the reasons I didn't even mention I was going to get the Value wifi pkg too but not for streaming! Thanks for responding! On the other hand once I responded to a Cheers thread with "Ask your doctor if the Cheers pkg is right for you" and boy did I get it. What goes around comes around I guess:halo:

Even the most expensive internet plan doesn't allow for streaming (and it was spotty anyway for skype calls depending on where we were), so the only thing is to pre download what you want and then watch it without internet needed.

I much rather sit back and watch a movie I have not been able to see since i been so busy working and going to school and raising a family than sitting on a balcony - I can't stand sitting on a balcony

For Amazon - If you have the Amazon Prime Video app you are able to download either movies you own or some prime shows will let you download - It only downloads it to the prime video app which is where you would watch it at - its not like you can download it to your computer and burn it to a DVD
