Apple tv - netflix start up

We just got Apple TV and need help with netflix. We don't see netflix as an option to select. Could someone advise how to set up netflix?

I am having a similar problem. I don't see Netflix listed under on the Internet menu. Youtube etc. are there and the internet connection itself is fine. Also, this problem existed when I first started up my Apple TV, so I updated the software (Set Up/Updates) and it worked fine. Netflix was there and I started watching a movie. But now "Netflix" has vanished from the Internet menu. I went back to "Updates" but it reports that my software is current.
Any thoughts?

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.

My apple tv recently started showing only Internet, Computers and Settings as options

My apple tv recently started showing only Internet, Computers, and Settings as options. Does anyone know where the Television and Movies went. Anyone else experiencing this issue? I want my MLB and Netflix!

I had the loss of Internet after updating to 5.0.
Only Computers and Settings are available.
I tried through Ethernet cable, manual settings of the IP addresses etc. but no result. still only Computers and settings.
It communicates with internet for Home sharing etc. Checking the network through ATV is happening. Only problem is "internet " option is not visible.
I have not changed any settongs in the wifi router during this process. The same ATV was working with all 3 options before update. will the update do any changes to WIFI Router in blocking DNS etc?
Any advice will be ok.

Apple music app starts automatically in car since ios 8 update on iPhone 5

Since updating to iOS 8 on an iPhone 5 (thru iTunes on laptop), apple music app starts on its' own in the car using bluetooth.
It would start playing music after I started the igniton-though I never use that app or leave music of any sort running in my car when I turn car off.
Other times, it starts music if I use Google Maps or apples' iMessage . Quite annoying.

II'm sorry, I thought I'd updated to 8.02 but I checked and I only have 8.0. I'm afraid to update to 8.02 as I've been reading both good and bad about it, like it may fix my app problem but screw up my Wi-fi. I don't know what to do. I'm between a rock and a hard place.

I have a long-existing iPhone 4s with one apple id and started a job where I received a macbook with another apple id. how do i get my phone to sync with the Mac Pro and secondly how do i get my music on there?

No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.

I'm trying to create a new ichat Acc because for some reason the old one is not working, so I go to Create an Apple ID and start creating a new apple ID, when I submit the Acc it tells me that my Email address is already verified for another Apple ID and

I'm trying to create a new ichat Acc because for some reason the old one is not working, so I go to Create an Apple ID and start creating a new apple ID, when I submit the Acc it tells me that my Email address is already verified for another Apple ID and thats the only email address I have... What can I do?

There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

HT204053 How do I delete my existing iCloud account (on ALL my apple devices), and start over from scratch??

How do I delete my existing iCloud account (across ALL my apple devices), and start over from scratch??
(cant seem to get calendars to ever sync right, on my devices, and across to my wifes'....so want to start with a "clean installation")

Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account (this disconnects the device from icloud but doesn't delete any data on icloud or on other devices).
If you then want to sign back in using a different ID, do so on the same screen.
I also strongly suggest that you and your wife use different icloud accounts, otherwise all your devices will have the same data on them, same emails, reminders, etc. Most likely not what you want.

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.

Since upgrading to Yosemite, when I hit either apostrophe or quotation key in Apple Mail , that starts new paragraph

Since upgrading to Yosemite, when I hit either apostrophe or quotation key in Apple Mail, that starts new paragraph like I am hitting the return/enter key right next to the key I am hitting.
I've eliminated the possibility that I suffer from fat finger syndrome by ruling out the issue in other apps like Pages/Word (apostrophe/quotation works fine). This is only happening in Apple Mail. Example: [ Can't ] appears as [ Can' ] with [ t ] as the start of a new paragraph. I use an Apple wireless keyboard, so I also tried using an Apple keyboard connected by USB port. Still have the same issue in Apple Mail, but not in other apps.
Any idea what this is?

Update.
This only happens when I am typing above my signature information or replying to an email when the body of the email I am responding to included. Does not happen when I am typing a blank email.
Thanks,

Apple tv just started showing I need to connect to itunes.

I can't as I do not have the cable needed. What can I do?

I may be wrong Karsten but the OP seems to be saying that the Apple TV is asking for the cable and hence it is that 'special situation' you refer to.
apple tv just started showing I need to connect to itunes.
I assumed this is what the OP is seeing.

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 !
