Apple tv freezes using netflix

Netflix freezes on my TV using Apple TV. Is there any type of reset button that can be used? Unplugging all cables momentarily and occasionally resolves the problem but not always. Any help would be great--thanks in advance!

Do you mean pausing to rebuffer and then resuming by itself? Or does it stop playing entirely until you do something to restart it?
We didn't have any problems with Netflix rebuffering this evening. However, HD content seemed much more likely to "pixelate" while we were watching it than it ever has before. I updated our ATV2 to the latest firmware today before we starting watching Netflix this evening. Don't know if it's related or if it's just a coincidence.

  • Apple tv freezes during netflix

    Our apple tv is freezing up at approximately 20 second bursts while watching Netflix.  We've done fixes--like using the Google 8.8.8.8 dns and it has been fine for three or four weeks.  Tonight it's stuttering again.  Did an unplug and reset.  No improvement.

  • I have been using my apple tv to access netflix for several months.  It suddenly stopped working.  When I try to go to netflix from the menu, it says "accessing netflix" but never does.  I can access you tube just fine, but just can't get to netflix.

    Update software. If that doesn't work try resetting.  Mine started working after the update.

  • I have a brand new mini mac and a new apple TV. Both have been updated and can see my movies in itunes. I can use Netflix and stream music. I have tried to use my old laptop and it streams video fine. But my new computer only see a spinning circle.

  • MBP 2011 freezes and Kernal panic using Netflix?

    Anyone have an issue with MBP 2011 13" i5 16G RAM freezing while using Netflix? Genius Bar diagnosed it as a bad motherboard. This issue started over a year ago the screen goes black and get three beeps chime sometimes i have to reset the RAM in order to clear it.

    Just one more thing - the description of what i did while first Kernel appeared:
    Happened 2 days ago. Wasn't turning it off for like a day, only sleep mode by closing it. Worked fine all day, wasn't doing anything, except for checking mail 2-3 times and having windows 7 virtual machine opened but doing nothing, everything was going fine. Then closed it without turning off.
    Opened 3-4 hours later, everything was working fine for 30 minutes of checking mail, then Kernel appeared. After that pretty much everything i did is described in part 1-5.
    Note: all the time MBP was connected to internet via wifi, so updates to both MBP and virtual machine of all programs were possible.
    I only shared downloads and desktop folders, so windows couldn't have access to system folder of Mac Os.
    Hope this might help...Thanks again.

  • HT4428 I continue to get the HDCP playback error when I attempt to use NetFlix.

    This is beyond the point of frustration, and getting to the point of Apple technical error.  Every time I try to use NetFlix on my Apple TV, I get an HDCP playback error saying that My TV does not support HDCP.  It does.  Most times when i try to use Netflix I will get the first 2-4 seconds of the show to play and then it freezes and says its not supported.  This does not happen when I view YouTube Videos, or those purchased from ITunes or directly from apple.  Only when using Netflix.  I've tried unpluging the unit, I've tried switching the cables.  Is there a fix to this problem or does this product just not work?

    I've had my Apple TV 2 since June 2012.  It worked perfectly for 3 months.  Now occasionally, when I try and watch Netflix I get a HDCP error.  I have not changed anything with my setup.  Same tv, apple tv, hdmi cable as when I first bought it.  Every device is updated with latest firmware.  After multiple resets on each device and the occasional switch of the hdmi port on the tv it starts to work again.  But after a few days the same thing happens again.  This is very, very frustrating.  Please advise if anyone has any thoughts.

  • How do I fix the compatibility issue between my iPhone 4S with iOS 7 and my Pioneer car stereo? There was no problem with iOS 6, but now I get a message saying "this device is not compatible" and so I can't use Netflix for example. How do I fix it?

    How do I fix the compatibility issue between my iPhone 4S with iOS 7 and my Pioneer car stereo? There was no problem with iOS 6, but now I get a message saying "this device is not compatible" and so I can't use Netflix for example. How do I fix it?

    This is a typical response from the manufacturer. Did you try the fix that Lawrence mentioned. When Apple or any other phone manufacturer update phone software, they have the latest Bluetooth installed. It is usually the problem with the radio manufacturer that they devices are using the older Bluetooth protocols. You can try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581 and see if anything there helps, but generally it requires the radio manufacturer to update their firmware.

  • How do I update my IOS to at least 4.2 so that I can use Netflix?

    How do I update my IOS to at least 4.2 so that I can use Netflix?

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
    Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • IPhone 5C can't use netflix

    Why can't I use netflix, the video just loads then I get the following error message 139: NFErr_MC_NOCDN what does this mean??

    Hi Vladislav735,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPhone 5c does not pair to your Mac Mini after updating OS versions. I know it can be frustrating to have issues after updates, and have some suggestions that can help.
    Since we are not sure what's causing this behavior, troubleshooting on both the iPhone and Mac may be necessary. I recommend going through the tips presented in both of these articles:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Bluetooth connections
    Bluetooth Quick Assist
    Also, for using Continuity features such as Handoff, it's not necessary for the devices to be paired using Bluetooth, although Bluetooth should be turned on. You can find the other requirements for using Continuity at this link:
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    Best Regards,

  • Issues with iMac freezing using Mail, Safari, Chrome

    I'm having issues with my iMac freezing, forcing me to hard restart my computer each time. I think I've had to powered down via power button altleast a twenty times today and yesterday. I've restarted 4 times just trying to finish this post
    It seemed like I was only freezing using Safari at websites like facebook and youtube.com. So I switched to Chrome, which lasted a few hours until I started freezing on that as well.
    I logged on as a Guest account and they seemed to be working fine. I thought Flash may be the issue so I re-installed but no dice. I emptied cache, cleared history from each browser, etc -- no help.
    Then today I started freezing just using mail. While typing a message, auto correct attempted to correct a word and my system completely locked up from that.
    I have plenty of hard drive space, RAM isn't an issue either.
    Here's some of my system log just before one of my recent freezes:

    I uninstalled the Glims plug-in on safari, and that's seemed to cure a little bit of the problem with safari. But I'm still getting hang-ups and freezes. I'm not even noticing a pattern anymore with which apps and so forth are causing it.

  • Apple Mail freezes up repeatedly

    Since the recent upgrades to Yosemite in January 2015 (10.10.2) or thereabouts, Apple Mail freezes up all the time. It seems to get worse from day-to-day. Very frustrating. I run it on a new Apple Mac - didn't have many issues before. My wife has other Mail issues on her Macbook Pro.
    Hope Apple pays more attention to fixing Apple Mail, which we all use a lot!!!!

    Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Ipd 3 keeps on freezing using chrome browser same with Safari

    Keep on freezing using chrome and Safari browsers

    Try clearing Safari and Chrome, close both apps and then reset the device.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data. In Chrome, tap the 3 horizontal line in the upper right corner. Then go to Settings>Privacy>Clear Cookies, Cache and Site Data.
    Now close both apps. To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Safari app then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Now the reset - Reset the iDevice by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the device start up.

  • Apple TV Freezing

    Anyone else having the problem with the Apple TV freezing? It seems to just get stuck on certain songs when i try to play them and then the only option is to do a soft reset or pull the plug. The display does not change but I can see the LED blinking when i try to use the remote.
    It happened three times the other day when i was trying to enjoy my new toy.
    dell   Windows XP Pro  

    It appears that particular specific files can be troublesome when synced to AppleTV. I suggest finding the most recent files you have synced and remove them from sync.. Try syncing again. Then, restart the AppleTV.
    If it still freezes, remove all content from sync and access files only by streaming. This should fix it.
    If it does, be careful what you sync, particularly with your own created (or transcoded) video files. Also, send a report to Apple on the feedback page.
    If it does not, ask for more assistance from Apple.
    I would imagine we are going to get some fixes when the next software update comes along.
    Cheers.
