IOS7 cannot play Netflix movie over wifi

Since upgrading to IOS7 (updated iPad2, updated 3 iPhone 4 models, and purchased iPhone 5s), I am unable to use Netflix to watch a movie, while connected to my wifi network in my home. My Android tablets, gaming consoles, and computers work fine with Netflix. Using cell data and other networks with the same IOS devices and the same Netflix app appears to work fine. But I can not play a movie over my wifi on my IOS7 devices.
I have a Netgear WRN2000v4 router, with the latest firmware. I have the latest version of the Netflix app. I use WPA2-PSK encryption on my router, but also tried WPA-PSK, at the suggestion of my ISP. I have contacted Apple, Netflix, and my ISP. They have no answers. I have also emailed Netgear, but have not heard back from them yet. In speaking with Netflix, I am not the only one experiencing this issue. Any suggestions out there?

I have the same problem. I had an iPad 3 and I swapped it (so far it seems I downgraded) for a mini iPad. Now my Netflix only works if I am standing next to my Netgear router, I never had this problem with my iPad 3. My other devices work fine with my router. I too changed the WPA-PSK, did a hard reset I am curious to find out the answer to this problem too!

HT4437 Cannot play protected movies on AirPlay from iPad

I cannot play a movie from my iPad to my Apple TV device. I get an error "cannot play protected movies". Why is this when I bought the digital copy with the Blu-ray Disc ?

I'm not aware of any third-party receiver that supports video over AirPlay, so you'll probably need an Apple TV. But then, as long as you have a WiFi network in your house, you should be able to play the movie through the Apple TV to your projector without needing Internet as long as the movie has completely downloaded. For more information on AirPlay see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4437
In some cases, though, people have reported that even with the rental completely downloaded (or so they said) it still asked to connect to the iTunes Store, so it's not 100% reliable, it seems.

I cannot play Netflix from my iPad2 to a Sony TV

I can play Youtube videos from my iPad2 to a Sony TV using the Apple VGA adapter, but for some reason I cannot play Netflix nor Amazon videos. I get sound but no video!... What is going on?

No.
Netflix clearly states on the product description page in itunes that it supports output on the iphone 4, ipod 4th gen and ipad ONLY.

Can anyone tell me why maps cannot determine my location over wifi?

can anyone tell me why maps cannot determine my location over wifi?

If you only have the wifi only version iPad then the location is derived from the router that you are connected to - if it's not in the database that Apple use then your location can't be determined. Only the 3G iPad has a built-in GPS chip. If you have another wifi-only iOS device that does get a location then you could try this https://discussions.apple.com/message/15446656#15446656

Cannot play netflicks movies with firefox 4.0.1 on Mac OS X

I update the silverlight plugin and I still cannot play any movies.
MacBook Pro
Mac OS X 10.6.7
Browser: Firefox 4.0.1
Silverlight version: 4.0.60310.0, last update is March 10, 2011
This use to work in previous versions prior to FF 4.0.

n Firefox make sure you have at least two (2) tabs open - (Ctrl+T opens a new tab)
In the address bar of one tab, type "about:config" - minus the quotes, of course
You'll see a warning. Click "I'll be careful, I promise" and continue to the configuration page.
There's a search bar at the top. Type "js" - again, minus the quotes.
In the results you'll see pdfjsviewer.disabled with a vaule of false. Click it once, then right click it and choose Toggle to make the value "True".
Close that tab.
Click Tools>Options and go to the Applications tab
Locate Adobe Acrobat Document (or Portable Document File (PDF)) in the list and click the drop-down to select "Use Adobe Reader (in Firefox)". (Mine doesn't have that because I also have Acrobat Pro installed)
Click OK.
Click Tools>Addons to see that the Acrobat plugin is installed
Close and restart Firefox. PDFs should now open in a browser window with the Reader plugin.
Note: This doesn't work for me since the update to 23 and I should have the choice of Reader or Acrobat plugins. Firefox is trying desperatelt to FORCE users to use their crappy PDFJSViewer, which doesn't handle multimedis or forms PDFs.
As to the NPAPI and security risks, that's blown WAY out of proprotion. There are antivirus companies trying to sell their products to Mac users (who will NEVER need them) and they use this "urban legend" to bolster their case.

Safari cannot play a movie from Apple's site

Hi All,
I was actually quite a bit surpriesed that Safari cannot play a movie from the Apple's web-site itself...! It is nothing special - just the 4S TV add with Santa Clause. The same link is working fine with Chrome.
Any ideas? I guess it is some sort of Preferences settings?
Merry Christmas!
Bojidar

Might be a Safari extension preventing the video from loading.
Go to your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
If youi have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari to test.

Cannot play purchased movie

Now I've never had a problem like this before but for some reason last night after I purchased Resident Evil Degeneration from the i-tunes store off of my home computer it told me that I could not view it because my computer was not authorized.
But every time I try to authorize it AGAIN, it tells me that it is already authorized. So why can I still not view this movie that I purchased?! I've authorized three out of my five computers ( one being my laptop the other out of use ) so I just cannot understand why it is that I suddenly cannot play this movie. Is it this particular movie or my computer or itunes itself?

Neross,
You are not alone.
Back on June 9/09, my post titled "iTunes 8(x) + OS 10.5.7 NOT Compatible??" was about this very same problem.
Here's the link:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2031631&tstart=0
In that post, I wrote that noticed that after I updated to iTunes 8 on both my MacPro (with OS. 10.4.11) and my MacBook Pro (with OS 10.5.7), ONLY my Mac with OS 10.5.7 is now unable to play ANY purchased OR rented movies AND tv shows.
I also noticed at that time that a lot of the other people who were posting about their own problems about not being able to play any movies in iTunes, that those people were running *OS 10.5.7* while using a recently updated version of iTunes 8.x
So Neross, please take a moment to read my post and +please add your voice and situation to the building string of voices so that we can combine all our voices into one place and bump this situation up to the top of this iTunes discussion forum in order to bring attention to this problem+.
*+For 3 weeks+, +I have been without ANY ability to view and play ANY movies and tv shows -- and because of that -- I have not made any purchases or rentals+*.

HT5100 Cannot play purchased movie on external home projector - protection warning

Cannot play purchased movie on external home projector - protection warning
I purchased a movie at the iTunes store on my Mac air laptop. Then I connected the Mac to my home projector and cannot play it due to a warning about protection.... YET I HAVE PURCHASED THE MOVIE TO WATCH ON MY HOME PROJECTOR THEATRE SYSTEM
This is not good - a rip off!!!!!!

Some displays cannot handle the HDCP bandwidth requirements. An example would be the older cinema display.
I had this problem. However when connected to a mormal HD TV via Apple TV3 plays fine

Cannot play avi movies and bluetooth cannot detect my iPhone4!

cannot play avi movies and bluetooth cannot detect my iPhone4! any help?

As far as the *.avi files are concerned you could download an open source app called VideoLAN: VLC. You will find that it can handle just about every audio and video format available.

I cannot play a movie I just recently downloaded from the iTunes store

I cannot play a movie I just recently downloaded from the iTunes store

I purchased an album from the iTunes store VIA the wish list Purchase option.
The 2 albums and 3 songs were purchased. However, one of my songs was stuck in the "Computer is not authorized / Already Authorized" loop. Where it asks me to authorize a song, but then says the computer is already authorized and doesn't play the song.
I noticed looking at "Get Info" there were two key differences.
The songs that were valid and would play have:
Kind: Purchased AAC audio file
Purchased by: **********
Account Name: *****@gmail.com
The one song that would NOT play and caused the authorization loop has:
Kind: AAC audio file
Purchased by: <this field was NOT PRESENT like it was on the other files>
Account Name: *****@gmail.com
(**** = redacted, however the two Account Name fields were identical)
As you can see, the Account name match, but the "Purchased By" field is missing and the Kind is not marked as "purchased".
THIS IS A BUG. As the entire album was bought under the same method, same time, and same account, yet, one file is improperly tagged, and does not play. The trouble file was found in iTunes store, added to Wish list, and purchased in the same session, no other log-off, shutdown, or iTunes restart to cause a selection of anouther account name.
This leads me to believe that iTunes is not properly tagging a file after it is downloaded that it has been purchased, thus, causing the loop.
Apple can't blame anyone else here, as only apple hardware and software were involved in this. MacBook Pro, OS X 10.6. iTunes 10.7 (21)

Shared movies over wifi screen not responding

When viewing shared movies over wifi my screen goes unresponsive to the touch making pause / rewind etc impossible. Any ideas?

I have tried to wait one minute or so, to check if it will respond again, but it didnt.
But as you said, it is strange that I can open the "notfication/control center" but not able to press any button on there.
I will try to restore tonight.
Thanks

TS1424 Need help with netflix app over wifi on iphone 4

I have iPhone 4 which is 3G. I used the Netflix app on this phone. I recently got a new phone. I stopped the phone service and cell data plan to my iPhone 4. The netflix app still worked fine over wifi connection. Suddenly, I am unable to connect to netflix. I was going to try to remove and reinstall but I now cannot connect to iTunes store. I found something that said I need to set up the phone to sync with wifi on iTunes, which I did. synced again. App still won't work and still cannot connect to iTunes store from phone. My other iPhone 5 works fine but I need the netflix on the older iPhone 4 because of connection to tv.
any ideas????? I've tried signing out of netflix and back in on computer... can't get in to Netflix app to even sign out then in.

You can change the email address of an Apple ID without creating a new account. Apparently you didn't do this. You will need to Authorize the computer using the AppleID and password that the content was purchased with.
Try connecting the phone, but DO NOT SYNC. Go to the iTunes File menu and choose Transfer Purchases. This should put the apps and music purchased with the old account into the iTunes library. Launch of of the songs and you should be prompted for the password to authorize that account.

Cannot play DVD movies in Windows XP

Does anyone know of any driver that I have to download in order to play just regular old DVD movies with Boot Camp? The CD-ROM aspect of the drive works fine, as I play games all the time...but when I try to play a movie it says that it cannot....has anyone found a fix to this?

Lol well unfortunately it didn't, I installed it, popped a movie in, and this is the messege that i got:
Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and video card. Try installing an updated driver for your video card.
It was just a regular DVD movie bought from the store, not a burnt one or anything...I'm confused...
