I can watch Netflix on my ipad but on my tv it shows "an error occurred loading this content" Can you suggest a solution to my problem?

Make sure DNS is set to ISPs (settings - general - network - DNS should be set to automatic). Trey rebooting ATV, and router. Make sure all are up to date.

  • My iPad will happily AirPlay content from bbc iplayer but not when the chosen programme comes from downloads.I keep getting message"an error occurred loading this content" Any ideas.

    Any ideas

    I'm seeing the same and I agree, it's very annoying. You can at least get around it in both situations by turning on Mirroring from the Airplay menu (after double-tapping the Home button). Hopefully the iPlayer app will be updated soon to fix this. I'm assuming it's an oversight at the moment.

  • Airplay from ipad 1 gen to ATV 3 gen "an error occurred loading this content try again later"

    Hi everyone!,
    I just bought a new Apple tv 3 gen which is great.
    My situation is the next. I have an add hoc wifi which obviously cant connect with my ATV cause ATV doesnt have browser to set user password. This connection is not quite fast, so problem added to the previous. The thing is that I want to use my ipad 1 gen to airplay content to the apple tv. It works great with pictures and even music (my own library or spotify streamed music).
    The problem comes when I try to airplay video from youtube or embedded video from safari so it keeps saying "an error occurred loading this content try again later".
    I tried with my iphone 6 and with an iphone 5 and the same, no video from youtube nor web.
    If I try to airplay a video that is inside my phone, it works flawlessly.
    the specs say that you need at least 6mb connection, but that seems to stream directly from the ATV cause ATV doesn't have hd to store data, but my ipad streams it and plays it like a charm, but when I airplay to the apple tv got the problem.
    I also can stream video from my old mac mini through the network using airparrot but it doesn't allow me to send audio, seems to be problems sending audio and video while streaming..
    Any help?
    does anyone solved it?
    thanks in an advance!

    Two problems seems to be causing this:
    1- My poor download connection. Testing its speed barely reaches 1.5 download speed, though it's enough to stream movies with ipad, or computers.
    2- the router I have connected to my antenna to create my own network. it is a normal 150 mbps tp-link range extender which is used to create a wifi. This 150 mbps might be much more than a half.
    I have tried with a 300 mbps router and now I don´t get the error, but it seems that streaming with my ipad and airplay to the apple tv overloads the network and it loads quite slow in my atv.

  • Can't play rented movies.  They appear to download OK and the timer accurately reports days remaining to watch.  But whenever I try to play the movie I get this message, "An error occurred loading this content.  Try again later."

    Can't play rented movies.  They appear to download OK and the timer accurately reports days remaining to watch.  But whenever I try to play the movie I get this message, "An error occurred loading this content.  Try again later.". Have been using the Apple TV for 2 weeks and everything else seems to work OK.  The Apple TV reports its SW is up to date.  I've tried this with two movies rented frim iTunes directly from the Apple TV.

    If after you download the movie, you navigate away and do something else with your Apple TV the content you have downloaded will be overwritten and you'll need to download it again. It's a pain in the neck for many who have slow downloads but it's something that comes with using volatile memory rather than a hard drive for storage.
    Perhaps you're not doing this, but I thought it worth mentioning.

  • I rented a movie The King's Speech. But I couldn't download it because I kept receiving an error message saying "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later." However, I could rent other movie and watch it. Young

    I rented a movie The King's Speech. But I couldn't download it because of an error message saying "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later. I tried it several times, but I still get the same error message. I tried other movie and could download  and watched it. Therefore, I assume that only this movie makes trouble. Am I right? If I am right, should I ask a refund to Apple for this movie?

    I posted the same sort of problem in the thread
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15562522#15562522
    I noticed in my instance that it is HD content that is giving me the same problem, but Standard Definition (SD) content downloads and plays no problem.
    Would this be the same with you? Have you been able to download a play an HD rented movie?

    I have the same issue, to temporarily fix it go to Settings > General > Restart.  When it restarts the movie should play.  You have to do this for each movie for the most part.

    There may be network issues or issues with Apple's servers.
    Personally I would unplug and restart AppleTV.  If there are still problems and you can access the iTunes store sections to browse I would contact itunes store support.

  • Airplay from ipad gives error on AppleTV 2. Says "an error occured loading this content. Try again later"

    I have been unable to use our AppleTV 2 for a few weeks now. I can't figure out what is wrong. I am unable to play anything via Airplay when trying to play videos from our iPad. I get the error "An error occured loading this content. Try again later". This happens only when trying to play videos from our iPad, but not videos from my iPhone. I am also unable to stream videos from our Netflix instant queue. I've tested the network, which is fine. The iOS on the iPad is up to date, as is the AppleTV 2. Any other suggestions?
    update: i unplugged the apple tv for 60 seconds and its working now. 

    The video files are mostly M4V not MP4. I did find that if I start playback and select the ATV3 from inside iTunes, the movie will play fine. However, this is not optimal as the iMac is in another room.

  • Apple TV 6.1 Netflix "an error occurred loading this content"

    Since the upgrade a few weeks ago, my 3rd gen Apple TV (6.1) hs been giving me "an error occurred loading this content" message when viewing a program. It can be at any time -- from a few seconds in, to a few episodes before it occurs and seems to be getting more frequent. I checked by connection speed while it was running and was getting 55-57Mbps, so I don't think it's the ISP; I've restarted several times, including pulling the power. I finally did a reset -- still getting the problem.
    I'm assuming it's Netflix, since SkyNews, Hulu, iTunes, YouTube, and my home sharing are all fine. i was wondering if there were more having this issue -- it looks like it was common with the last iteration of OS. It's not happening on the first gen iPad, nor on the iPad2 or 3, or the iPhone 5 in the house.

    Doesn't do anything. Restarted the ATV: stil happens. Reset it: still happens. Reset the router: still happens. It's a 3rd Gen ATV and up to date on its software. It started only a few months ago and has been getting consistently worse, to the point that I have to Airplay Netflix from an iPad through the ATV. The issue does not occur on three different iterations of the iPad, nor an iPhone 5, which tells me this is an Apple TV issue that needs fixed.
    This seems to be a common complaint among Apple TV users, and unfortunately, there's not much in the way of programming options on the device (Hulu is pretty close to useless for children's programming.) It might behoove Apple to shift it and fix the issue.
    I'll wait a little while to see if it gets rectified, but I suspect I'll be buying a new Roku.

  • Rented movies on ATV2, can't play- An error occurred  loading this content.

    When I attempt to play the two movies on ATV (Gen 2) I rented, I receive the error:
    An error occurred loading this content. Try again later.
    No other messages display, and it is not clear what to do next, or how to fix this issue.
    I tried the following to solve:
    - latest updates for ATV (I'm on version 4.2.1(2100))
    - unplugging power, then plugging back in
    - stop "Home Share" on ATV, then turn back on
    - log out of iTunes account on ATV, then log back in
    I've yet to try:
    - reset on the ATV (on the General menu)
    - setting back to factory defaults (on the General menu)
    I have not tried the above two, since the ATV is 2 days old and honestly did not think I needed to do this.
    I have two Windows computers, one with Vista, one with version 7. Both have iTunes 10.2.1.1 installed. I have iTunes "Home Sharing on" for both computers, including the ATV. I can see my iTunes library on the ATV and play music; I can also play iTunes radio just fine with the ATV. I've been able to access my NetFlix account and stream movies just fine with NetFlix.
    I was able to purchse the movies, but not able to play on the ATV; thus, I seem to be able to get to iTunes since I could at least rent movies.
    Is there anything major to double check to make sure I've set everything up right? The book that came with ATV looked pretty plug-n-play, but I cannot get this to work (playing videos). I also have an iPhone that I just purchased- I've plugged this into the Vista computer to do sync's and get updates, but don't have it plugged in on a reqular basis.
    What am I missing to try and troubleshoot?
    Thanks much!

    I bought apple tv a few weeks ago. It worked to start with but was very slow and not really usable as when you picked a movie it would take anything from 20 mins to 6 hours to start. I assumed it would to memory but it doesn't so you have to sit and wait for it to start which renders it completely useless.
    Then came a software update about a week ago. Since then it no longer loads rented movies. After I have paid for the movie it says press play. After that it says "unable to load content, try later"
    I emailed apple support. They dont know what the problem is so they refunded my money and removed the films from my apple tv.
    Apple also asked questions About my iTunes version etc which is completely stupid as this has nothing to do with itunes as apple tv is 100% independant and designed as a stand alone device.
    My advise- I will get a refund and use the money to buy apple tv 1 from ebay as it has a hard drive and loads movies in the background rather than using a stream.

  • An error occurred loading this content when we hit play. We have been getting it for 3 days. Today I bought another rental and we are getting the same error. We have tried rebooting and also resetting. We are unable to get the movie. The Netflix is good.

    An error occurred loading this content try again later. This happens when we hit play after we rented a movie. This has been going on for 3 days

    I have the same problem. Cant do the software update and can't download a Rented movie.
    Viewing Previews of movies and all else seem fine.

    I keep getting a message (an error occured loading this conten every time I pick a movie to watch on Netflix!!!  Help

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    This sometimes resolved by unplugging the Apple TV for a few moments and trying again, others have found restarting the router may help. Another reason that message can occur is when the download speed is extremely slow, have you tested your Internet download speed with speediest.net.
