Apple TV & Netflix problems

Apple TV cuts subtitles on Netflix while My Samsung DVR does not. Why is this happening?

Really? Doesn't seem like an answer to me, looks more like a "We didn't make the Netflix app, go ask them instead" LOL

Hey Eve,
I was able to find an answer to your question by following the suggestion in this article:
Apple TV: Third-party content provider information
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4799
It advises to go to www.netflix.com/support, and if you search there for "apple tv subtitles" you should find a few pertinent articles that can help you out.

  • Apple claims Netflix needs to Update

    I just completed my Apple Tech call this morning:  it took 65min to eventually hear Apple blame Netflix as cause of problem and nothing could be done on Apple's end -- no foreseeable OS update to resolve the issue -- and actually suggests that Netflix update their platform to meet Yosemite OS.
    Netflix, of course, blames Apple.  Netflix's solution is to download Chrome or Firefox (bypass Safari) for Yosemite OS Users.  Apple Tech confers with this solution and suggests download of Chrome for immediate success.
    Also,  in my opinion, Apple Customer Service has diminished their reputation.  They didn't deal with the issue straight on, but, instead, chose to run the Customer thru bogus ineffective "solutions" and act like this is the first they've heard of the issue; hard to believe.
    The best solution Apple Tech could advise is very simple and honest: inform the Customer straight away that it's now known that Safari on Yosemite OS is not compatible with Netflix at this time, so for immediate satisfaction, download Chrome or Firefox browser.

    I am having the same problem.  I am surprised though that people are blaming Apple for what is a Netflix problem.  Several months ago I discontinued Netflix service because of poor playback quality. Often I couldn't  even get Standard Definition playback much less HD. I had no such problems with Amazon Prime, Youtube of even nfl.com.  I called Netflix support. They blamed my ISP, my router, Apple and for all I know the man in the moon. Just this morning I accepted their offer for another one month free trial. I read they now support HTML5 playback on Safari/Yosemite and wanted to see how it worked.  For about an hour and a half playback was fine. Then suddenly I get this error no matter what I try to play back.  I called Netflix support and predictably they blame it all on Apple. As a workaround I tried using Firefox with Silverlight playback and guess what ? I still can't get HD playback !

  • Netflix Problem iPad

    Hey there,
    my Netflix App has not been working on my iPad for 2-3 months now. No matter what movie/show I want to watch I always get the message "Cannot play movie. Please try again later". I can watch Netflix on my iPhone and MacBook without any problems.
    Here's what I've tried so far:
    - delete and reinstall the Netflix app
    - reboot my iPad
    - restore my iPad
    - iPad runs the latest iOS update and Netflix update
    I also called Netflix support service. They told me there's nothing they can do to help me and there's probably something wrong with the iPad/iOS. Again: it works perfectly fine on my iPhone.
    Has anyone had the same problem? It's quite annoying
    PS: My iPad also won't play videos in Safari. It used to work without any problems, but suddenly stopped also 2-3 months ago. I just get a crossed play-button (on the exact same websites as before).

    So I have now downloaded the latest Netflix app update and it has not fixed the problem at all. It still says "Cannot play video, connected display is not supported." I downloaded the NBC app and that says "Airplay is not supported." I have not problem playing videos straight from the Safari app or Youtube. Can anyone out there tell me what is wrong. This is super frustrating. It isn't clear to me if this is a Netflix problem or Apple problem since people at either place point to the other company when I talk to them on the phone. It ***** when updates create problems where none existed before.
    Anyone else running into this?
    Anyone found a fix?

  • Apple TV streaming problems with itunes

    Apple TV streaming problems. Since recent last update to AppleTV when I try to streams movie or tv show from iTunes sometimes it is fine sometimes it takes hours (Hd or Sd). No problem with netflix. Wifi is not super strong in location but this was not a problem at all before update. Any suggestions?
    Paul

    ok.
    this is not a solution to your problem, but you didn't need to do that just to remove it from appletv. you could have simply unticked the item in your library and that would have made it not available to appletv. you could also have amended your sync options. you don't need to delete something from your library just to remove it from appletv.
    however back to your problem. it sounds like the appletv is not syncing the changes to your library. you should restart your appletv and see if that forces the change.

  • Apple TV Netflix Streaming & Other errors

    Okay So I got Apple TV for Christmas. But Ive been experiencing very frustrating and upsetting problems. The following problems are very CRITICAL.
    1. NETFLIX STREAMING
    One of the featured abilities of Apple TV was Netflix Streaming. At first I loved using it, but then I started noticing problems. Half the time I played a netflix video... the video would pause and buffer every few seconds. Time after Time I have to deal with this. And its not my internet connection, because my PS3 can stream Netflix no problem. This is the MOST FRUSTRATING THING ABOUT APPLE TV. A Deal Breaker. I use my PS3 now for Netflix, because I refuse to watch a movie or tv show and have to deal with pausing every few seconds. It ruins watching the show. YOU NEED TO FIX THIS ASAP!
    2. Error Cannot Connect To Netflix
    Why is it one of the flagship features of Netflix has such a terminal error. Every week or so I have to disconnect (only found out this solution by googling this problem on the net otherwise I would of never found out how to fix Netflix on Apple TV) Apple TV, wait 10 - 15 seconds, reconnect, wait for it to load, and hope I dont get that ' Cannot Connect to Netflix Error". People say it may be netflix but its not. Apple TV cant access Netflix but yet my PS3, iPad, and iPhone can. Apple Please fix this.
    THESE 2 PROBLEMS NEED TO BE FIXED ASAP. THEY HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTH WITH NOT A PATCH TO FIX IT. I didnt get Google TV, Boxee, etc. because I wanted Apple TV. Please dont make me regret my choice.
    And the following are secondary concerns:
    1. Please allow us to access our Youtube Subscriptions and Favorites faster on Apple TV.
    Everytime I select Youtube to watch my subscriptions and favorites ... I have to go through menus to do so. Can they not pop up as soon as Select Youtube. My accounts already on there just let it pop up on the first menu.
    2. Apps. Please include apps for Apple TV.
    Apps where we can access Hulu, do skype chats, allow for keyboard integration. Allow us to do more with it.
    Apple please fix these errors otherwise I have to stop recommending Apple TV and become a Detractor of the product and its support.

    To Apple and Netflix,
    I have recently purchased 2 Apple TV devices and a Roku XDS and subscribed to Netflix.
    The problem I'm having, along with many others in the various forums, is that Netflix is accessed and "Suggestions" and "Previously Viewed" items show up but when I attempt to play a selected item I get a message on screen showing "error 112" and no streaming occurs.
    The ATV refers customers to Netflix and Netflix refers customers back to Apple. Which of course isn't a fruitful solution.
    Having no email contact for Netflix isn't helpful either. After contacting them on the phone they would not generate a ticket number and would not log my complaint as the system can't record referrals to Apple. They also do not have employee identifiers so you only get a first name of the service representative, I can only assume Netflix wants no record of customer complaints and wants to wear you down by waiting on the phone. Apple support is almost as daunting. You better have your serial number handy or you are going nowhere. So if you are at work and trying to contact support… Good luck.
    My equipment:
    Zoom DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem
    Airport Extreme 802.11n
    Charter HSI Plus 2Mbps Up / 20Mbps Down
    2 ea. Apple TV 2nd gen
    1 ea. Roku XDS
    As a veteran film and TV post production engineer in Burbank, CA, I am a methodical trouble shooter and well versed in negotiating software and hardware from diverse products. I quickly determine my internet connection is solid and bandwidth is adequate (typically between 20 to 30Mbps and in the later hours up to 75Mbps). I check that other streaming channels on that device are functioning properly such as "Radio" and "YouTube". I can stream Netflix from the Roku. I can even stream Netflix from my second Apple TV device. But the other Apple TV continues to exhibit the same symptom "error 112". I can usually get around the problem with a couple of hard reboots of the Apple TV, but not always. The problem is not confined to one ATV, either device may exhibit "error112".
    I will also be posting this open letter on Amazon and Facebook and hope to post your response and solution as well.

  • Apple TV, Netflix, Mexico

    Does anyone know whether, if I purchase an Apple TV, with a Netflix subscription, it'll work in MexicoL By "work", I mean will I be able to stream movies from Netflix, as well as get iTunes rentals?

    It wont work for the US service, in Netflix, youll need a VPN service for that and let the Apple TV think is in US, fo Apple Store no problem, you can rent or buy just with the Apple TV.
    Ahora a los que preguntan lo del Netflix en Mexico, mi pregunta es no les sale la opcion de Netflix en el menu de internet del Apple TV?
    Yo lo tengo activado, pero lo tengo a un VPN y por lo mismo veo mi cuenta de Netflix USA, pero si le quito el VPN se conecta al de mexico y me opero con mi mes de prueba gratis, lo raro es que le regale un Apple TV a mi cuñado y me dice que no le aparece Netflix y ya esta en la version 4.4 del sistema, el lo usara en Mexico solamente.
    Yo no entiendo por que no opera en todo, como IPhone o IPad, a mi me opera en todos ya sea el Mexsicano o el Americano, pero siempre que active el americano, me desconecto y reconecto con la cuenta de Mexico, si solo entro con la de mexico no jala.

  • Has Apple acknowledged the problem yet with itunes aborting preview of songs after about 10 seconds on windows 7 and if so is there an answer other than ipconfig?

    Has Apple acknowledged the problem yet with itunes aborting preview of songs after about 10 seconds on windows 7 and if so is there an answer other than ipconfig?  IPConfig /flushdns doesn't help at all.  Until they fix it I will be previewing and buying my songs thru Amazon.

    Doublechecking ... do you still get that if you update to iTunes 10.6.3.25 (just released today)?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Are you getting any messages about date and time.
    Have you tried restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Are you connected to the network correctly.

  • Has Apple fixed the problem with 4G cellular connection?

    Has Apple fixed the problem with 4G cellular connection on the iPad 3?

    Cellular connection problem was for US connection in Houston, Texas.  Have an iPad 2 which functions perfectely on Wi-Fi or 3G.  Bought an iPad 3 strictly to get the increased speed from the 4G LTE connection.  Purchased on with the AT &T cellular.  Wi-Fi functions fine, but 4G LTE connection is terrible when it connects at all.  Went to AT&T and they said no problems with service in my area, but never get over 2 bars and most times, Web pages load very slow or will hang and not load at all.  Went to the Apple store and they said it was AT&T network problem and went to AT&T and they said no problems with their service.  Went to the Apple communities forum here and discovered that many people were having the same problems with the 4G LTE cellular connection on their iPad 3's.  Didn't seem to matter if it was AT&T or Verizon.  So I decided that I would just return the unit and wait for Apple to fix the problem.  Hence my question.
    Appreciate very much your time in responding to my question.

  • Apple has a problem and the cant solve it. I had some very important call but this new iphone just shut down on me and wont turn on i tried everything u can find in apple support nothing works for me. Anyone know what i can do?

    Apple has a problem and the cant solve it. I had some very important call but this new iphone just shut down on me and wont turn on i tried everything u can find in apple support nothing works for me. Anyone know what i can do?

    I would instead say you have a problem since nearly all IPs work as advertised.  IF you do have a bad phone, take it into an Apple store and get a replacement.  Hope you didn't jailbreak your phone though as Apple probably will tell you, you broke it, you fix it.

  • I bougth Time machine 2GB 4th generation, Apple solves the problem of overheating in powersupply?

    I have two questions...
    1. Apple solves the problem of overheating in powersupply?
    2. can i see temperature on Mac OS?
    thanks for you answer...

    1. Apple solves the problem of overheating in powersupply?
    Each new generation of Time Capsules has run cooler than the last. Solved? Hard to know in advance. Plan to give the Time  Capsule plenty of free airspace on all sides.
    2. can i see temperature on Mac OS?
    No, but the Time Capsule's light will blink amber to signal that temperatures may be too high.

  • How to send a feedback to apple about safari problem?

    how to send a feedback to apple about safari problem?
    the problem is with a site of mobile phones, www.190.it
    impossible to log in with safari browser.
    with firefox or others no problem

    Hi Ginada
    Feedback to Apple can be made via the Safari Menu>Report Bugs to Apple selection, or here. Apple doesn't respond to either; rather, uses the information for internal purposes.
    Your alternative, if in the US and machine is under warranty including telephone support, would be to call Apple Care. 800-275-2273
