How do you get Netflix on Apple tv to support subtitles?

How do you get the Netflix app on Apple tv to support subtitles? The Netflix app on Roku, and the built in Netflix apps on LG tvs, as well as Netflix on the computer all allow you to turn on subtitles. Also most foreign films automatically have english subtitles enabled. The Netfix app on Apple tv has no way to choose subtitles and the foreign films don't show subtitles even when they are automatically enabled when you view the movie on other devices (Roku, LG tv, computer).

Netflix is only on 2nd and 3rd gen Apple TV

How can I get netflix on Apple TV to auto play the next episode?

I don't have the answer to this question, and yes, I checked the "I have the same question, too" box.. But so did 30 some other people.. So, I've scoured the web and looked high and low into the Apple TV device.. HOW CAN I DO IT? My playstation 3 did it[.. My WDTV box top I've had for 2 years can do it! My Smart Vizio TV [netflix app built in to the tv] can do it! My Apple ipad can do it. My iPhone can do it.. So, can my Apple TV do this? Or Not?

HT1349 How do you get help from apple if you don't know where to find the serial number of my "product." I don't know if they mean my itunes program, my iphone, my computer, which one, the number on the computer (is there one), or something in Windows or

How are you supposed to get help from Apple if you don't know what your serial number is? They say to input the serial number of the "product" that you are asking about. Since my problem is how to deauthorize/authorize computers, and they are saying I have more than 5 (which I have never owned more than 5 computers in my life), I can't imagine what serial number they mean. Does it mean your desktop computer? If so, which one? Do they mean your device? LIke your iPhone, iPod or whatever? Do they mean the software ON one of your computers and/or devices? If so, which program, and on which computer/device?
We have three operational computers, one does not have iTunes on it. Since Apple is saying I have more than 5 authorized computers, and I can't imagine what they are, I am afraid to deauthorize all my computers. See what I mean? I just wanted to ask the question about how I can find out WHICH computers Apple thinks I have authorized, so I can decide if it's safe to deauthorize them all or not. I only know of 2 computers that have iTunes on them, so how can there be 5? We also have 2 iPhones and 2 iPods in this family, but one of the iPhones has his own apple id. He may have been using mine, since his computer died. I read that those don't count as "computers" to the 5. Do they, then?
Help! I can't contact apple because I have no idea what they mean about serial number. I doubt they would help me anyway. In order to get the serial number off my desktop computer (that has iTunes on it already), I will have to move furniture, so I don't want to if that's not it. Is there some way to find the serial number in the software, either on my desktop or my iPhone?

You could have more 5 computers authorized if you ever, for example, reformatted a hard drive or replaced a hard drive without deauthorizing the computer first. Apple's system would see that as a different computer, even though you don't. There's nothing to be afraid of in deauthorizing everything and the reauthorizing what you actually have. You won't lose any data. Mistimp is correct, they can't tell you which computers are authorized.

How do you get Netflix movies on Apple TV 2?

Folks:
Apple says in the very first sentence on the very first page of the first chapter of their of their Apple TV 2 "Setup Guide" that you can watch streaming content from Netflix and then NEVER MENTIONS NETFLIX AGAIN! How disingenuous is that?!? I tried at the iTunes Store and they'll sell you aps but they won't help you actually stream movies from Netflix.
Now I could go to Apple Support except that I received my Apple TV 2 as a present and so I don't have the purchase date (it is after the 90 days anyway even though I haven't hooked it up yet) so they just keep sending me into a never-ending FU loop. Right now I'm so angry that I don't think that I will ever buy another Apple product again. gonna be tough though since I have an iMac, an Airbook, an iPhone 4, an iPhone 3GS, two iPods, and TWO Airport Extremes... So here I am trying to see if you folks can help me out.
I think the easiest thing for you to do would be to get me a URL where someone has dealt with this issue and I'll take it from there.
Thanks in advance,
mnilan

I don't have tv firmware update under the settings menu and I have been to the set manual I have tried youtube and I can't find the solution anywhere. Surely there must be some way to add things like netflix or lovefilm on this.
Okay, lets start at the beginning...
After setting up the TV device and turning on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer, do you see an opening screen something like this on your HDTV?
If so, you should be able to see a portion of the Netflix app peeking in at the bottom of your HDTV screen which you should be able to select as seen here...
If you don't, then the next thing to do is to go to the "Settings" menu and select the "General" option as seen here.
At this point you can select the "About" option to check to see what version of IOS is installed on your devices. I.e., you probably want the latest software versions available/compatible for both iTunes and your TV device. Here is what I am currently running on my entertainment system device...
If the software is not up to data and you have not automatically received notification of the availability of newer software, then you can go back to the "General" memu as depicted above and select the "Update Software" option to manually check for a firmware (non-volatile software) update which may fix your problem. If this does not fix your problem, I would next try forcing a cold reboot by using the "General > Restart" menu option or simply unplugging and re-plugging in the device.
If this doesn't help, the next step would be to go to the "General > Reset" menu option located just above the "Restart" option as depicted above. Opening this option will give you access to both the "Reset" and "Restore" options which are usually your points of last resort before returning the device to an Apple store or tech support facility for hardware testing. (Of the five units I currently own, one did actually fail between the watching of two movies an was replaced by the local Apple store after confirming a hardware problem instore—so this remains a possibility here for your purchase.
Hope this may help...

How do you get an updated Apple ID to change on your iPhone? I've changed logged in using the new ID and password but when I go to synch my apps, it reverts back to the old ID

I've changed my Apple ID on iTunes and my MacBook Pro, iPhone, and iPad. When I try to update my apps on my iPhone, it reverts to the old Apple ID

It sounds like your device might be in Activation Lock. Is it asking your to enter in an Apple ID & password, but only showing you the first letter of the email address and then some dots? Example: j•••••@icloud.com?
If so, do you recognize that email? Do you have an Apple ID that fits the same format? If so, then go to www.cloud.com, log in with that Apple ID & password, and see if under Find My iPhone it shows this device. If so, turn off the device, then remove the device from the list.

HT1311 How do you get an old apple Id off existing apps. I am trying to update apps but old appleid keeps coming up instead of new one that was added to settings

How do I remove an old appleid from iPhone. A new one has been updated in destined but when I go to update apps that were installed using old userid still appears. The old I'd is not active and doesn't exist any more so I need to change the id that the apps are associated with.

Indeed. I changed my ID some time ago, and now have to pay the very minor price of signing back in with the apropriate ID to uodate apps bought with that ID. Not a major problem.

How do I get netflix on my apple tv....I do not see the option on my apple tv menus

Netflix is only available for Apple TV2 not the first version. It is under the Internet tab and you must sign in with your username and password. You need a Netflix Account to use this service. I have a Netflix account so it shows up on my Apple TV2.

How do you get a human being from Apple for customer service? This is the worst customer support ever seen!

How do you get an actual human being to speak with at apple to help with customer service?

The Apple Support COMMUNITIES is a user-operated apple-run page where users of the COMMUNITY help other people the best they can. Apple employees do not have anything to do with this page apart from own the servers and design it. If you want to speak to Apple then go to their Customer Support here: http://www.apple.com/uk/support/contact/
Remember, this isn't a customer support page, it's a community forum based on using Apple products. If you wish to refer to Apple employees then this is the wrong website.
Hope this helps.

You can either,
A: Go to iForgot.apple.com and reset the passcode using the password system there, or by going to appleid.apple.com

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately the Apple TV doesn't have a web browser so you can't do that.

I too cannot download latest itunes version. Am seeing all of the same error messages. MSVCR80.dll is missing from computer. For windows "Error 7 (Windows error 126) appears. Must be a defect in the lastest software update. How do you get Apple to respond

I too cannot download latest itunes version. Apple needs to respond and fix what is certainly a software defect. Am seeing all of the same error messages including MSCVR80.dll is missing from computer. For Windows 7 a "Error 7 (Windows errror 126) appears. How do you get Apples's attention. It is impossible to link up with real support from their website?

Remove old Apple programs, and use Explorer web-browser. (Firefox or Chrome will not do)

How do you get rid of an old Apple ID that hasn't been used in a while in which you no longer remember the password and the email account it's tied to no longer exists?

The password will not be sent to you, because Apple does not know it. They will send a link where you can reset the password. It will be sent to your Rescue email address, not the iCloud email address. If you don't have one contact Apple Account Security and they can reset it for you: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
