Apple - Netflix app needs some work!

While the Netflix app on the ATV 2 is pretty good, there are a few things that are really frustrating. Here are three things I feel are essential to make the ATV 2 the best Netflix player (allowing me to sit back and just use the ATV 2 to browse and find titles to watch without needing to have a computer on hand):
1. Add the ability to view and browse ALL titles for a specific genre (for some reason, some streaming titles show up online but not on ATV 2 when browsing through - the only way to find these titles is to do a search).
2. Like in the web version of Netflix when viewing all titles in a certain category, allow sorting by title, rating and release date (this would also be nice when browsing what's available in iTunes by the way). Right now, I can't figure out how things are sorted (seems random to me). The easiest way for me to find movies I want to watch is to be able to view all titles under a genre and then sort in different ways. I can't do that on ATV 2 currently, so hopefully it will be added.
3. Show a pop-up overview of rating, release date and small description when highlighting a title. Again, this is a feature on the Netflix site that is really nice and helps when browsing through trying to find a movie I want watch. It is much quicker than having to click on a title to see details, and then go back to browsing.
Here are a two other minor things that would be nice to have as well:
4. Show which titles are in HD and confirm when there is enough bandwidth for HD quality when starting the playback. My blu-ray player does this - first letting me know a title is available in HD and confirming that it was able to stream in HD once started. I know this is a minor request and you can tell by the quality if it is HD once it starts, but I think it would be a nice feature.
5. Please indicate episodes of series that have already been watched (my blu-ray player does this and it's nice). Again, this isn't a major issue, but would be nice to have.

In iTunes 8:
Go into your iTunes preferences and select the Devices tab. Make sure "Look for iPhone and iPod Touch Remotes" is selected. If it already is, try clicking "Forget All Remotes"
In iTunes 7:
Go into your iTunes preferences and select the Advanced tab. Select the General tab beneath it, and make sure "Look for iPhone and iPod Touch Remotes" is selected. If it already is, try clicking "Forget All Remotes"
You also want to be sure that both devices (the computer and the iPod) are connected to the same wireless network.

Netflix App no longer works?

My sister recently got a brand new 64GB iPod Touch. I was fortunate enough to inherit her 1st generation 8GB iPod Touch. I wanted to primarily use it for mobile Netflix use as I have an iPod Classic for my storage needs (Way above 8GB). Any who, I downloaded the software update for the 1st generation iPod Touch and promptly downloaded the Netflix App. It worked perfectly for about a week, but today when I tried to open it, it showed the red Netflix loading screen and then promptly quit. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but that didn't solve the problem. Anyone know anything about this, and please no check with the vendor stuff. Someone else posted that on another post I made and it just frustrated me more.

HT204266 looking for the old Netflix app that will work on original Ipad with ios 5.1.1

looking for the old Netflix app that will work on original Ipad with ios 5.1.1

Netflix does in fact have the old version of their app available.
In iTunes on your computer, download the App you want a compatible version for using the same Apple Id that the iPad has for the App Store. For Paid Apps its best to consult with the App maker to make sure there is a compatible App. With the App Downloaded to iTunes on a computer you can go into The App Store App on your iPad, Tap on Purchased, and Look for the App there. Tap on it to begin the download. It will likely say its not compatible, but if there is a compatible version it will offer to download it. Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X

As a new user of apple TV, I need some advice. When I rent a movie from Itunes for viewing later, it seems to download for a second time, with a message saying ready to view in 30 mins, it proceeds to load up all over again. What am I doing wrong

As a new user of Apple TV, I need some assistance.When I rent a movie on iTunes and download for viewing later, say a day or two later, It seems to load itself all over again with a msg saying ready to view in 25 mins ! So having waited the 25 mins movie starts and runs for maybe 1 hour and the pauses for maybe 5 mins while it seems to load again . any help appreciated

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you use the Apple TV for something else or turn it off it will erase whatever is on it's drive. If you are going to download content for later viewing you might consider doing it on the computer, downloads don't disappear until they expire and you can watch them as many times as you want.

I need some working examples with pl/sql records and pl/sql tables.

i am new to pl/sql tables and pl/sql records. i need some working examples on pl/sql records and pl/sql tables from basics to hoghlevel.how to use then procedures and functions and packages.

i am new to pl/sql tables and pl/sql records. i need some working examples on pl/sql records and pl/sql tables from basics to hoghlevelThere is no such thing as PL/SQL "+tables+". This is a misnomer and creates the perception that a PL/SQL "table" is somewhat like a SQL table. Nothing can be further from the truth. The correct term is "+collection+" or "+associative array+". Compared to SQL tables, these are very primitive structures, very rigid structures, cannot scale, and can be quite expensive memory wise.
That is not to say do not use an associative array or collection. These are very useful tools.. but only when applied correctly. Like using a collection for a bulk fetch to transfer more rows between the PL and SQL engines and thus decrease context switching.
Unfortunately, quite often we see the row-by-row and slow-by-slow approach - where the developer uses SQL as an I/O only layer, pulls rows into expensive PL engine memory into record structures and arrays, and then process the rows there.
So before looking at working example (even the wrong approach's code will compile and run and work in practice), make sure that you know the fundamentals of correctly using the PL engine and correctly using the SQL engine. And these fundamentals can be summed up into a very basic rule:
Maximize SQL. Minimize PL/SQL+
Get this rule right, and you will have a sound foundation for writing performant and scalable Oracle applications.

How do I find out if my 'non apple' paid apps will stop working when I upgrade to iOS 5?

I have downloaded apps from both apple and other developers.
I have paid for some of these apps.
Since there are numerous apps that I use, is there a generic way to know for sure on whether the apps will still work when I upgrade to iOS5?

Unless the problem was caused by abuse or other accidental damage, Apple will exchange your in-warranty iPod with a refurbished one at no cost. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store for the exchange.

Apple care plan- need some advice..

hi i just want to ask if is it necessary that my name should be on the apple care plan? coz i was trying to purchased an apple care plan in ebay.. but im not sure if i can use it tho..need some help.. thank you..

A used AppleCare plan cannot be transferred to a new machine unless you own both machines and you make the transfer within 30 days of purchasing the original machine:
(ii) With Transfer From Original Covered Equipment to New Covered Equipment. You may make a one time, permanent transfer of the coverage under the Plan to a new Apple product that is owned and purchased by you within thirty (30) days of the Covered Equipment purchase. The new product must be eligible for coverage under the Plan and at the time of transfer both products must be covered under the manufacturer’s one (1) year limited warranty. Apple will issue a Plan Confirmation for the new product, which will then become the Covered Equipment. When notifying Apple of the transfer, you must provide the Plan Agreement Number, the serial numbers and Proof of Purchase of the products being transferred by sending or faxing, where available, notice of transfer to Apple as set forth in the section immediately above.

Apple Mail App won't work for Yahoo Mail

About two months ago I switched from using the Yahoo web interface for my Yahoo mail to using the Apple Mail App. (Yahoo changed their web interface and I didn't like the new one). The Apple mail app worked fine until 2 days ago. I couldn't get new mail or send mail. It appeared that mail could not connect to the Yahoo mail server. I killed mail and started it up, that didn't work. I took the account offline and then back online and that didn't work. When I tried to do things like delete mail that I had received before the problem started Mail appeared to hang and I had to Force Quit Mail. Finally I deleted the email account from mail and then tried to recreate it. Now I can't recreate the account via the normal mail process of creating an account.
I have a MacBook Pro which I bought about 4 months ago. I'm on OSX 10.9.1. I'm using Mail version 7.1 that came with the MacBook Pro.
So I am back to using the Yahoo web interface, that I really don't like. BTW my mail works fine on my iPhone.

Well, Mail crashed. Then the WiFi I was using went down (I'm at a Texas State park and the power failed) and I switched to using my iPhone as a hot spot and it suddenly connected. Could the problem have been the Texas State Park router?

My apple store app no longer works on osx - does anyone have suggestions

we are running OSX Yosemite version 10.10.2 - our apple store app is nonfunctioning along with face time, maps and photo booth - in place of apps is a ? - this happened after using a cleaner downloaded from app store - has anyone else had this problem

You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" or "MacCleanse" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.
The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below. If you use any iWork applications, you may need to delete them and redownload them from the App Store.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

Health app charts need some work!

When I click on a day in the weekly chart for "walking +running" it takes me to a list of all data points for the day, shouldn't it take me to a new chart with a breakdown of the day's activity? is this a feature that hasn't been implemented yet? Also, why is the weekly chart so hard to read? I find it hard to see how many miles I've done per day in the week, perhaps the x,y axis needs a little bit more detail? Anyone have some suggestions? thanks!

Apple Remote App Doesn't Work

So I cannot figure this out. For some reason when I use the Remote app it doesn't work right. In iTunes it does not come up under the devices tab. I have tried both with and without my iPod connected and for some reason it just isn't working for me. I would really appreciate soem help because this app seems awesome to me.

In iTunes 8:
Go into your iTunes preferences and select the Devices tab. Make sure "Look for iPhone and iPod Touch Remotes" is selected. If it already is, try clicking "Forget All Remotes"
In iTunes 7:
Go into your iTunes preferences and select the Advanced tab. Select the General tab beneath it, and make sure "Look for iPhone and iPod Touch Remotes" is selected. If it already is, try clicking "Forget All Remotes"

Apple mail.app doesn't work after joining google+

I use apple's mail.app to manage my multiple emails. on my main personal gmail i joined google+. ever since joining google+, mail.app no longer imports any email from that account. i can still send email through mail.app but no new received emails import into mail.app
any help resolving this issue?

I found some solutions I find unacceptable in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1596183&tstart=0
For some people just restarting the phone seems to fix it. For others they have to do a complete factory reset and set up the phone as a new phone it appears as if something is corrupted in the backup, so restoing from backup will bring back the same issue.
This stinks because it means that you lose all your backed up information (except calendar and contacts, which are stored separately)
I'm still looking for an alternate solution.

Access Web App - Need some advice with query (text to number problem)

In an Access Web App I want to create a query.
I have two tables which are related but in a bit complicated way. For some reason I have a text field in which I save a number. This number relates to the ID of another table. When I combine these two tables in a query, it's not working because the textfield
cannot query the (ID)number field.
Is there a way, in this query so that I covert the text field to a number so the query will work?
I tried to do it with the "Parse" function but no luck, so far.
Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike,
Based on the description, you want to create a query by joining a text filed with number filed?
Did I understood correctly? If so, as far as I test, it works in Access 2013 web app. Here is the screen shot for your reference:
If I misunderstood, please feel free to let me know.
