Very annoyed. Every time I try to download movies on my iPad Mini, it says that there are too many downloads on my devices when in fact there are no downloads on any other devices within the people using my account. It works on my iPhone XR, why doesn't work on my iPad mini? Did apple update something behind iPad mini owner's backs so we can't download movies through streaming services to get us to switch to the newer models or is this an issue on Netflix's end? Anyone else having a similar issue with Netflix on their older devices?

I have this same exact problem with Netflix on my Applet TV 2. Some movies play with sound and others have no sound at all (video plays as if on mute). There's no rhyme or reason to which movies have sound and which ones don't. This just started happening recently, too, so maybe it's the most recent 4.3 software update? I tried restarting the device and nothing changed. If you figure out a solution please post!

I just did a full restore of the Apple TV 2 and it looks like the no sound issues have been fixed! All movies that were giving me issues are now working. @cyberpillz try going to Settings->General->Reset->Restore and see if your sound problems are fixed. Let us know!

I tried turning off the Dolby but it did not work. As I was about to reset I notice the "restart" option (Settings>General). It took about 5 minutes for the restart process to complete. Both netflixs and hbogo are now working. Hope this helps out.

Even better answer at least in iOS 7 on the Apple TV or the latest update is to change Dolby from ON to AUTO. I discovered this last night while testing the on off option discovered auto also exists and it worked fine on my little pony under Netflix which was giving no sound with the video for the blind user.

Apple says in the very first sentence on the very first page of the first chapter of their of their Apple TV 2 "Setup Guide" that you can watch streaming content from Netflix and then NEVER MENTIONS NETFLIX AGAIN! How disingenuous is that?!? I tried at the iTunes Store and they'll sell you aps but they won't help you actually stream movies from Netflix.

Now I could go to Apple Support except that I received my Apple TV 2 as a present and so I don't have the purchase date (it is after the 90 days anyway even though I haven't hooked it up yet) so they just keep sending me into a never-ending FU loop. Right now I'm so angry that I don't think that I will ever buy another Apple product again. gonna be tough though since I have an iMac, an Airbook, an iPhone 4, an iPhone 3GS, two iPods, and TWO Airport Extremes... So here I am trying to see if you folks can help me out.

What is your problem or question? Install the ATV as per the simple instructions, Netflix is a menu choice under the Internet settings once you have the device set up and connected to the Internet. Of course you have to have a Netflix account, you can't expect it to be free? You also have to have Internet access, which also isn't up to Apple to provide for you.

Thank you for your comments. I, of course do have a Netflix account and high speed Internet as well. What I DON'T have is any helpful information from Apple, which, I believe, IS up to Apple to provide for me. So your suggestion that I install the Apple TV is my only recourse at this time however, I generally prefer to know what I am doing before I dive in and possibly screw something up or go around in circles as Apple would seem to its customers do in this case.

Seriously, you feel that it is up to Apple to show you how to type your Netflix username and password into the Apple TV 2? Those are the only steps necessary to setup Netflix on the Apple TV. You are needlessly overcomplicating a painless and easy to use product. I half wonder if you are trolling?! Are you?

By the iTunes Store, do you mean the app store? Are you somehow thinking that you need to download and install Netflix on the Apple TV? If this is the case, you can be comforted by the fact that the Netflix functionality is pre-installed on the Apple Tv and all that is necessary of you is to input your Netflix username and password into the Apple TV after clicking on the pre-existing "Netflix" button in the interface. I apologize for asking if you were a troll. I now see that you were just confused. Really, you should just try hooking the Apple TV up to your set. The setup instructions are obvious and spelled out in detail like most Apple products.

I have recently bought an apple tv so that I can stream from my laptop or iphone to my television. I am trying to add netflix to my apple tv but I can't find out how. You mention the internet function on the apple tv but mine has not got this option on it. where would I find this? I would really appreciate assistance in this as the whole purpose in buying this is to stream films from netflix.

Somewhat confused by your question here. Have you already installed and set up your TV as described in the TV 3rd Generation Setup Manual? If so, and your main iTunes/Home Sharing computer platform is properly connected to the Internet, then your TV should already have an Internet connection via the wired or wireless network you used to set up the TV device. At this point it is merely a question of selecting the Netfix app in the bottom half of your main TV menu and signing in to your Netflix account to access Netflix content streamed via the Internet.

Thank you for your advice but the trouble is even though the apple tv has been installed and wifi connected and working the netflix icon is not there at the bottom half of my tv menu. Do you have any ideas how I can add netflix to my apple tv?

I don't have tv firmware update under the settings menu and I have been to the set manual I have tried youtube and I can't find the solution anywhere. Surely there must be some way to add things like netflix or lovefilm on this.

At this point you can select the "About" option to check to see what version of IOS is installed on your devices. I.e., you probably want the latest software versions available/compatible for both iTunes and your TV device. Here is what I am currently running on my entertainment system device...

If the software is not up to data and you have not automatically received notification of the availability of newer software, then you can go back to the "General" memu as depicted above and select the "Update Software" option to manually check for a firmware (non-volatile software) update which may fix your problem. If this does not fix your problem, I would next try forcing a cold reboot by using the "General > Restart" menu option or simply unplugging and re-plugging in the device.

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.

using netflix on AppleTV 4 and having issues lately with some titles not loading. After selecting the movie or episode, it will just stay on the loading loop. Not a network issue since other titles will load and stream fine. Most titles work fine, but 10% of the time, titles like girl from oslo, fauda, blackspace wont load. Tried forced app restart and reinstall, but issue persists.

Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you're having issues with certain content in the Netflix app. To start, follow the steps listed here to see if they help resolve the issue:If you can't watch or stream movies and TV shows in the Apple TV app

I have exactly the same problem. It helps to delete and reinstall the Netflix app. Then everything is fine for some weeks or months, but, out of a sudden, some titles again refuse to start and I have to do the delete-reinstall cycle once again.
