Apple TV-doesn't support Netflix

My Apple TV [purchased in 2008] does not support Netflix ...  [only shows youtube and radio under internet options] ... it says my software is up to date when I try to update ... is there anything I can do?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You'd need to purchase the newer Apple TV to get NetFlix.

  • Apple Mail doesn't support IMAP IDLE

    I had started using Entourage for a while just for testing since I had reacently started using a new IMAP server and I wanted to see how all the different email software behaves differently so that I can know what everyone will expect to see. Probably my favorite feature of the IMAP4rev1 protocol is IDLE. This feature gives the client the ability to stay connected to server so that the second an email comes in, it is "pushed" to the client.
    This is very different from the way that with POP3 and HTTPmail that you need to poll the server. Here's the real bummer for me though, my absolute favorite email client, Apple Mail, DOESN'T SUPPORT 'IMAP IDLE'!!!!!!!
    I beg you Apple to please realease a new version of Apple Mail that supports IDLE properly so that the client can stay connected to the IMAP server.
    Other not as important feature requests/bugs that I have:
    * CRAM-MD5 authentication on SMTP doesn't work for me in Apple Mail even though my server supports it and it works fine in other email clients
    * A three pane vertical view similar to Entourage/Outlook... It would just be a nice option
    * Ability to hide individual IMAP folders aka Unsubscribe
    * AND ONCE AGAIN PLEASE SUPPORT IDLE!!!
    Now if I have this all wrong and there is some way to turn IDLE on that is a hidden setting, someone please tell me. I'd be interested in hearing what someone from Apple has to say about this missing feature. Thank you!

    No, all this does is download all of my emails and cache all of them locally (regardless of what folder they are in). I wouldn't want this to happen because I definitely have over 100MB stored on my email server.
    IDLE is something entirely different... I'm still hoping to get a reply from Apple.
    If anybody else is annoyed with this please file a feature/bug request/submit form at www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/ so that we can try to get this resolved soon via some sort of update. OS X 10.5 is still a ways away so I'd definitely like to see an update to 2.05 before we get to 3.0.

  • Belkin HDMI Switch - Apple TV doesn't work?!!

    Hi all,
    I have just bought myself a Belkin HDMI 3 port switch
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/TM026B/A
    I've plugged it all in and my PS3 works through it, I plugged my PowerBook into it (using DVI-HDMI cable) and they work great and yet plugging my ATV into doesn't work. I've tried unplugging the ATV and Switch and then turning them back on again but still no luck.
    I don't suppose anyone has any advice?

    It seems that Apple TV doesn't support many HDMI switches!
    Just in case anyone else comes across this problem then it would seem that the only switch to buy is the OPPO HM-31.
    See this thread for further info:

  • I have an early apple tv. Will it support netflix streaming? Also what is the size of the newest apple tv's hard drive? And, will my current apple tv be able to use the icloud services?

    I have an early apple tv. Will it support netflix streaming? Netflix does not show on the internet tab on the AppleTV display.
    Will my current appletv connect to icloud services, synch, etc.?
    Also, what is the size of the current appleTV's hard drive?

    1. No to NetFlix and ATV1
    2. If you mean your ATV1, no.
    3. If you mean your ATV1, there are more than one hard drive size.  If you mean the new ATV2, it doesn't have a hard drive.

  • I have a Sony TV KDL40EX525. It does not support Netflix. Would you know if it works with Apple TV?

    I have a Sony TV KDL-40EX525. FULL HD. LED. It does not support Netflix. Does it works with Apple TV? Sony were not able to help me.

    I'm not sure what you mean about Netflix, but it's not relevant to answering your quesiton. As long as your TV has an HDMI input, Apple TV will connect to it. And AppleTV has a Netflix App, which you can use. You should be fine.

  • HT203296 My Mid-2009 Macbook doesn't support Intel VT-X. It should... the CPU supports it and Apple says it does.

    It says the processor supports it. Apple says it should support it. But it doesn't work. VMWare Fusion 5 tells me it's not enabled. What can I do?

    Did you read carefully?
    Note the words 'up to' not 'will' last 9 hours.  Apple makes these measurements based on very minimal resource intensive applications.  My experience that battery run time is much less than these unrealistic advertising claims.  Battery run time will be a function of the number and types of applications that are in use.
    Try a SMC reset:

    That may improve things somewhat.

  • HT1386 How do I sync my iphone 5s with my imac because it is only 10.6.8 and doesn't support icloud.  Apple tell me that my beautiful imac is vintage and I should ditch it!!!!  Where is their eco conscience.  I have been using mac for years and years now

    Does anyone know how to sync my iphone 5S with my imac 10.6.8 - which doesn't support icloud and can't be updated to do so.
    Apple tell me that it is a vintage computer now and I must throw it away and buy a new one.  Where is their social/eco conscience ...
    we are living in hard times trying to survive and trying to keep our businesses healthy.  Now is not the time to buy a new computer.
    What is Apple playing at??????

    You plug the phone into your computer and go to the Info Tab for the device in iTunes. Select what you want to sync. You should not attempt to sync with both iCloud and the local contacts on the Mac.
    Are you having some kind of problem doing this?

  • I need adobe flash player,but apple doesn't support it...what else can I do

    I need adobe flash player for my iPad,however apple doesn't support it...what else can I do

    Searching the forum before posting would be your best bet. This is discussed dozens of times a day... with various (partial) workarounds posted repeatedly.
    Adobe Flash does not exist for iOS devices, so no matter how much you "need" it, you can't get it.

    You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.

  • IPhoto doesn't support my digital camcorder -- what Apple application will?

    It's looking as if iPhoto doesn't support my Sony digital camcorder (DCR-TRV280). It's not listed among the Sony products it supports. I don't need it for video; just downloading still photos. But the Sony website resolutely refuses to recommend image-capture software. The ImageCapture application that also came with my Mac (OS 10.4) doesn't support my camcorder either. Is there a place where I can look up what application I can use -- perhaps another version of iPhoto or a modification to it -- to capture images off of my camcorder? A bonus would be if I didn't have to pay for it.
    Thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas (including perhaps another forum to pitch this question in if no one knows?).

    Hi Chris,
    Image Capture should work getting the stills over the camcorder. Use a USB cable for the connection.

  • Apple TV doesn't show up in my iTunes devices list

    Hey, I tried to post this question an hour ago but apparently my crappy 2.16 GHz intel 2 core duo iMac with 3 GB, 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM can't handle anything else while it is pointing out in iMovie '09 that none of my HD video is stable enough to take advantage of the stabilization feature.
    Anyway, here's my second attempt at seeking assistance for the most pressing of the many complications I am faced with as a Mac user.
    I can no longer see my Apple TV in the list of devices in iTunes on my iMac. This happened after I downloaded the most recent software update for my Apple TV, and after my step-father-in-law hooked me up with a home entertainment system. I have noted below with "CHECK!" the tasks I have performed in my attempts to maintain a love affair with Apple:
    Verify that you have the latest version of iTunes installed. CHECK!
    Verify that you have the latest version of Apple TV software installed. CHECK!
    Verify Apple TV is powered and properly connected to your television and you can navigate the Apple TV interface. CHECK!
    Verify Apple TV is properly connected to your network and the network is properly configured. When configuring Apple TV, if you do not see your wireless network, exit the selection screen by pressing the Menu button then go back in and the software will rescan. DUMB THIS ONE DOWN, APPLE. HOW DO I VERIFY APPLE TV IS PROPERLY CONNECTED TO MY NETWORK? WHY NOT SAY, "CHECK THAT APPLE TV SHOWS UP IN THE iTUNES DEVICES LIST" AS A TROUBLESHOOTING OPTION WHEN SOMEONE SAYS THAT THEIR PROBLEM IS THAT THEIR APPLE TV DOESN'T SHOW UP IN THEIR iTUNES DEVICES LIST". THAT'D BE HELPFUL.
    Verify network connectivity on Apple TV by playing a movie trailer in Movies > Trailers. CHECK (BUT *** IS THAT "BIG MAN JAPAN" MOVIE TRAILER ABOUT?)
    Verify that the computer you are using can access the iTunes Store. CHECK!
    If you're using Apple TV in a school or office environment, make sure Apple TV is on the same network segment as your computer (check with your network administrator) or else iTunes won't see Apple TV. NOT APPLICABLE
    For more information on how to properly set up your Apple TV, see the Apple TV Users Guide. UH, I BOUGHT THIS THING 1.5 YEARS AGO. DO I NEED TO REALLY GO BACK TO THAT?
    Restart iTunes (Quit or Exit and then reopen iTunes). CHECK!
    Reconnect Apple TV to iTunes OH THANKS. THIS IS GOOD ADVICE. *** DO YOU MEAN BY RECONNECT APPLE TV TO iTunes?
    If that doesn't address the issue, then:
    Reset HOW?
    Restart your computer. CHECK!
    Rejoin network (wireless) and/or Restart your network router ***? HOW? WHERE TO I CLICK?
    Reinstall iTunes OH SNAP! I'LL DO THAT IF NOBODY HAS ANY BETTER ADVICE.
    If you have Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), click here for information on configuring Firewall. SHOOTSKIE, I WILL NEED TO GO BACK TO THE WEBSITE TO CLICK THAT LINK.
    For Mac OS X 10.4 and earlier, make sure UDP port 5353 (Bonjour) is open on your firewall. If you use Windows Firewall, follow the steps here. SHOOTSKIE, AGAIN, NEED TO GO TO WEBSITE TO CLICK LINK, BUT I AM HOOKED UP THROUGH A WIRED CONNECTION DO I STILL NEED THIS STUPID PORT STUFF?
    Otherwise, if you use other firewall software or hardware, check the software documentation on how to open UDP port 5353. IT IS SO COMPLETELY, RIDICULOUSLY LAME THAT "OPEN UP UDP PORT 5353" EVEN NEEDS TO BE PART OF THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR GETTING MUSIC FROM YOUR COMPUTER ONTO YOUR TV."
    If you use Windows, try disabling services and startup items that may be conflicting. UHH, WHY WOULD I EVER HAVE WINDOWS? I SPEND 10-12 HOURS A DAY ON WINDOWS AT WORK, CRASHING MAYBE ONCE EVERY FEW WEEKS. I SPEND 30-60 MINS A DAY ON MY iMAC, CRASHING 1-2 TIMES A DAY. SERIOUSLY THOUGH, WINDOWS ***** TOO. TECHNOLOGY *****. PERIOD.

    Hi everyone. I am typing here on my brand new 24-inch iMac. So far it's great! However, the issue I had with the Apple TV is unrelated to the iMac itself, and I wanted to let everyone know what the solution was to my Apple TV issue.
    Until early this Sunday morning when I discovered this solution, my iMac would not sync with the Apple TV. This problem began after the most recent Apple TV software update. I neglected to mention in my previous posts that my Apple TV was connected to the Internet via an Ethernet connection.
    Prior to the most recent software update, I believe that my Apple TV communicated wirelessly with my iMac and via an Ethernet connection to the iTunes store. With the latest Apple TV update, the sync between the iMac and the Apple TV does not work if the Apple TV is connected to the Ethernet. My solution was as follows:
    1. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the Apple TV. Do not reconnect.
    2. Restore Apple TV to the factory settings. I'm not in front of my Apple TV at the moment but navigating through the Apple TV menu to reset the settings was fairly straightforward for me.
    3. After resetting the factory settings and following the instructions, I was able to see the Apple TV in my computer's iTunes, but I was stuck with the super old software version from summer '07 when I bought this thing (i.e. before you could rent movies or watch anything in HD on the Apple TV).
    4. Look for the software update on the Apple TV (again, fairly intuitive by navigating the menu on your TV) and download/install the latest update.
    5. If your problem was due to having your Apple TV connected to the Ethernet, I think this should do the trick! It should now show up on your computer's iMac and it should automatically start syncing your iTunes content although I did have to direct it to sync my photos.
    p.s. Does anyone know how I can let Apple know that this issue exists with the latest Apple TV update? The guys at the Genius Bar at the mall I went to in Pleasanton, CA couldn't find any notes in their knowledge database about issues with the latest Apple TV software update and I think it's important that Apple knows about this.
    p.s.s. I think Apple should make all of us, their consumers, more aware of how to let Apple know about these issues because this issue was so frustrating and throughout the whole troubleshooting process I felt very helpless and would have felt so much more positive about Apple if I just had a forum in which I could let Apple know I was having this issue (above and beyond this user forum through which I ended up losing much of my iTunes album artwork after following one person’s advice).
    So if that forum exists, please let me know and let's brainstorm as to how to get more people like me to be aware of that forum so other people don't experience the same frustrations I have experienced.
    p.s.s.s. I haven't tried reconnecting my Apple TV to the Ethernet in my home. While it will probably be slower to rent and download movies wirelessly, I don't care that much as I'm thinking I will start renting movies through Netflix instead and just use the Apple TV to watch my homemade videos on my TV.
    But I am curious, why does Apple charge so frickin' much to rent a movie on the Apple TV? $4.99 for an HD movie? Everyone who has NetFlix tells me it is sooooo much cheaper and very easy to use. And to be honest, this makes me mad. Not that there is a cheaper option for renting movies/TV shows. That makes me happy. What makes me mad is that Apple charges so much to rent a movie when it doesn’t benefit them and it doesn’t benefit me. I think Apple does a lot of good things, but I think being able to rent (or even better, to subscribe to) media that you can watch (almost) instantaneously in your home is the wave of the future and still relatively new. If Apple wants to make money off of this service in the long term, they need to start by offering movies for super cheap, even taking a loss off the price they pay the production companies if they have to, because right now it's still all about adoption (i.e. getting as many people as Apple possibly can to think about renting a movie or *please please* a TV show through Apple ).
    So I guess I feel like it's a lose-lose for Apple and me. Through Apple, to rent a movie (or *please please* a TV show) I will pay much more than I would with Netflix. But if Apple can walk away with an untarnished reputation after creating a special headphone input into their original iPhone device to make extra money out of nothing, then maybe they can do no wrong and we just need to keep blindly giving them our moolah? Can somebody please let me know how I could get a better job or at least a raise so that I can give Apple all of the money they are trying to squeeze out of me?
    p.s.s.s.s. I am soooo sorry Apple, but the other day when I was at your store looking for the Firewire adaptor I needed to transfer files from my Firewire 400 on my old iMac to my new iMac via the Firewire 800 adaptor, I just couldn’t stomach the huge markup. I imagine you guys make a ton of money by ridiculously marking up your accessories over what one could pay elsewhere.
    I know the rest of your consumers are happy to pay $50 for buying the cable in your store and I would like to apologize right now for using your in-store computers to search for the alternative pricing which I found for $19.99. I don’t believe any of your other customers saw me doing this, but if they did, please accept my sincere apologies. In the current economic environment, reputation is everything and it would be unfortunate for all of us if the Apple masses felt they were being taken advantage of.
    Wow, I think I’ve got some issues with Apple that I need to work out. Anyone know a good therapist?
