Apple TV blocking Netflix outside home.

I installed Apple TV at home this weekend and was able to watch Netflix on it without a problem. I can watch Netflix on my iphone and ipad in my home no problem, but I cannot watch Netflix outside my home on my ipad or iphone now. I was able to watch Netflix at work last week, but since I installed Apple TV at home no luck. Netflix sent me to Apple, Apple wanted $19.95 to help me. I thought I'd see if anyone else had this problem before I dished out more money to Apple.

Hello:
What do you mean by this?
but I cannot watch Netflix outside my home on my ipad or iphone now
If you mean on a poch or something, you may be outside the range of whatever wi-fi router you have installed.

ATV3 - I need to enable dolby digital for optical surround sound (netflix and home movies), but when I do this it stops audio coming through TV speakers

I have a cinema sound receiver connected to Apple TV via optical cable. When I have dolby digital set to Auto it doesn't come through as dolby digital when watching movies on netflix and iTunes (home movies).
If I set Dolby Digital to ON it works as expected, but the sound stops working through normal TV speakers (via HDMI). This is the same for netflix and home movies.
I tried 16 bit setting, but it made no difference.
Any advice on how I can get this working - meaning Dolby Digital always on for when I turn my surround sound on and sound through speakers for normal operation?
Obviously I can change the setting when needed, its just a pain.
Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,
here is the friendly and signed driver installation method to enable Dolby Digital Plus in your Encore internal speakers only. This is not an official driver, there is no control panel for Dolby Digital Plus or various sound effects, but tested and has much better and richer surround sound quality as before with factory driver. I guess, this driver tweak can work with any Bay Trail tablet also.
How can you upgrade Encore sound drivers:
1. Download signed driver package and extract.
2. Open Device Manager.
3. Upgrade your Sound, Video and game controllers
- Intel SST Audio Device
- Realtek I2S Audio Codec
one by one with "Have a disk" method.
4. Double click enabledolby.reg file and add to your registry.
5. Restart, and enjoy better sound quality.
Thanks.
UPDATE: Official Toshiba Dolby Digital leaked, official driver attached: ToshibaDolby.zip

Can't connect to Netflix at home no matter what I try

I have an ipad 3rd gen wifi only that ever since updating to iOS6 has not been able to get onto netflix at home. I hoped updates would fix it, but it hasn't. I have looked up every suggestions on how to fix this and tried them all. I have reset the modem, changed the DNS, messed with the date, made sure I accept the cookies, restored to facotry settings and many, many other things. If it is anywhere in the first 10 pages of a google search, I have tried it. Nothing fixes it. It always says that it can't connect.
What makes it even worse is that the Netflix app works on every other network I try, including the one at school where Netflix is blocked (or at least it is on the computers and laptops). It's only my home network where it won't connect. It has to be my home network, but I have no idea where to look to fix it and can't find any help online except to unplug the modem for five minutes (which did nothing). Can anyone give me an idea where and what to look for in my modum and/or router settings that might be causing this?
All of my other apps can connect to the internet just fine. Netflix is the only one with a problem. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Earthlink.
And I know it is my home network. The problem is my provider has said they see nothing wrong with the connection (and my DVD player can connect just fine) and they say to contact netflix. Netflix says to contact them. I think at this point I just have to hunt the problem down myself. My problem is I have no idea where to look? Is there something specific I should look for/at when it comes to streaming on an ipad? If that is set wrong, could something be making it impossible to get on streaming? That's the information I am looking for. I just want to know where to start messing with the network to fix this. Does anyone know this?

HT4352 I'm using the correct APPLE ID and password for Home Sharing on my computer but my AppleTv is not accepting it? What's up with that???

I'm using the correct APPLE ID and password for Home Sharing on my computer but my AppleTv is not accepting it? What's up with that???

I have the exact same issue. I also tried resetting my password. I can log in to iTunes on my laptop with the new password, on to my iPhone iTunes, but my Apple TV says it cannot recognize my password. I just did an Apple Tv software update a few days ago.
I am able to log in to Netflix on my Apple TV just fine. I did not have to re-enter my password for that.
Very frustrating. I hope Apple can figure this out soon and post a fix.
Thanks for any advice. Cheers.

2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at

4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Apple TV no longer sees home sharing from one computer

I have a desktop computer with Windows 7 OS, and a laptop with windows 7 OS
Up until about a month ago I could do home sharing separate libraries from either computer with either one of my (2) Apple TVs
Now both Apple TVs only recognize home sharing from my laptop but not from my desktop (where of course the library is more extensive.)
I have tried rebooting my modem, router and computer, rebooting both Apple TVs, rebooting I-Tunes, de-authorize and re-authorize my desktop computer, uninstalling and reinstalling my I-Tunes, undo home sharing and re-do home sharing my library - All on several occasions and absolutely nothing works,
I even brought one of the Apple TV boxes in and hooked it up with a micro USB as someone suggested and reprogrammed it back to factory default settings.
Does anyone have any other ideas that might possibly work to get my desktop library back on line for Home Sharing???

Brian,
Thanks for responding.....................
No, it just shows the Laptop computer when you click the computer tab box when you first open Apple TV - ie NetFlix, Hulu, Computers
If you go to settings and then computer - it just gives the option to turn home sharing off, it does not mention any specific computer there.

Apple ID blocked on iPhone app updates, Mastercard no longer recognized

All the sudden my Mastercard (canada) is no longer recognized. I checked with my bank and everything seems to be fine from their side.
Every time I type the security code, it gives me the message that " this card cannot be used with the itunes store".
After several attempts, I gave up and modified my account to payment "None" option.
They don't want my money: ...fine
Now what is more annoying is that I can't update my apps anymore on my iPhone. I get the message "Apple ID blocked". However, I am able to visualize my ID on the iPhone. I modified my password. Nothing helped. I tried another ID I have from having lived for many years in Europe. All the time my Canadian ID pops up on the App update function with the message "Apple ID blocked".
Can anybody help with that? If this continues, I am seriously thinking about legal action as I paid for these apps and now I can't access up-to-date functions for a software which I own. Any ideas if there are some consumer defense organizations out there to help with that.
I am seriously fed up with all the time lost with this problems (3 days spending my time working on this problem now!!!!)

So I purchased Navigon app on my iphone 4 with my iTunes account id then got a new iPhone 4s and signed in with the required Apple ID and now Navigon app does not recognize me as its owner. When I try to restore purchases I make on the app it tells me to buy it first. The problem seems to be it defaults to my Apple ID when I am asked for a password and does not give me the option of using my iTunes account ID and password which is what I used when I purchased the app. HELP?

How often does the Apple TV sync with updated home sharing playlists?

I am trying to use several Apple TV's at my business for content management throughout our campus. I want to be able to have a playlist of pictures and videos that is easy to update. Can anyone tell me how often the Apple TV syncs with the home sharing network for an updated playlist? It would be very inconvenient if the only way was to do a reboot on every device each time content was updated.

Welcome to the Apple community.
I can't really say for sure how often the Apple TV updates its shared libraries.
I do however know that once the Apple TV as completed playing something, it will sync with the shared library in order to update the play count. So I'd be reasonably sure that the shared library is updated at least once every time something is played.

I have 2 Apple TV's in my home. When I attempt to login, is say cannot connect to the internet. I have reset both Apple TV's and also restarted them both.but still cannot connect to the internet. I al reset my router and still not change

I have 2 Apple TV's in my home. One is 2nd Generation and the other is 3rd Generation. One one that is 2nd Gen cannot connect to the internet. First I restarted, the I rest it and I even changed the password. still no connection. So I purchased the 3rd Gen TV and I have to same problem, but they are in different rooms. Before I had no problem with my 2nd Gen TV, but then one day it did not connect. I even had my internet provider come and check my internet and it worked ok, but no connection with the Apple TV. I have tried everything but no results. Somebody please help me.

Richard

Hi richardwilliams51,
If you are having difficulty connecting to the Internet using your Apple TV, I would suggest troubleshooting using the steps in this article -
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4546
If that does not completely fix your Apple TV, you may need to restore it, using this article -

Apple TV and Netflix glitch

When using Apple Tv for Netflix the closed caption (words on bottom of screen appear) How do you turn this feature off. It is very distracting.
Thank you

Usually around 15Mbps but just did a speediest on my iPad and it seems to be down to 6.28Mbps but that is wireless, Apple Tv is hardwired so it's connection is even higher.

HT1391 Is there a way apple can block an iPod if it's been lost or stolen? It's not connected to iCloud

Is there a way apple can block an iPod when it's not connected to iCloud? If I unregistered it would it wipe the iPod of my details? As my sisters iPod got stolen and is all linked to my account.

No, unless Find My iPod was enabled on it before it was stolen then there isn't any way for you to try and locate and/or remotely wipe it - and that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPod disabled on it.
If it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

HT202157 My Apple TV blocked during software update. What should I do?

My Apple TV blocked during software update. What should I do?

You can't do much else besides pull the plug. If it causes further problems you should be able to restore as below:
Get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
On the other hand you may be able to simply start the update again. If however the update continues to fail, you should try the restore routine above.

Recently Apple have blocked my account for no particular reason so i had made another account because I couldn't access it i backed my ipod touch 4g to my new account and transferred my games and found out i couldnt update them because i dont own them

- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
You need to reactivate your first account.
Why do I see the message "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons” when I enter my password?
This message means that someone was unable to sign in to this account multiple times. The Apple ID system will disable the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You'll need to follow the instructions on My Apple ID to reset your password.
