My Netflix will not play when my Apple TV is connected to my Sprint Hotspot.

I can watch videos on my Netflix account from my laptop connected to the exact same Hotspot. I can access my Netflix and search for videos, yet when I attempt to play I get (139:NFErr_MC_AuthFailure).  I have reset and restored every single device/app involved.  I have checked that no parental controls are on.  I have called Netflix and Sprint both with no resolution.  I live on an island and do not have access to another form of internet (hence the Hotspot).  I used to have AT&T and never had this issue.  Any ideas?

I'm having the same issue. I live on a farm and the only internet fast enough is from my phone. I've connect the hotspot, but I get that same error when I try and play something. What does work, however, is if I pull up the netflix app on my phone (a different phone from the one I am using as a hotspot), play it from there, and airplay it on the apple TV. It's a big pain and it effectively slows my connection because I'm streaming it through the hotspot onto my phone and then pushing that back through the network onto the Apple TV. Any way to play it directly from Apple TV??

  • TS3212 Itunes song will not play when burned to a CD

    When I burn a CD using a Itunes song it will not play. The Apple store said there is a program update for Itunes to fix this. Does anybody know about the program update?
    Thanks

    You need to go back to 7.4.2. I had the same problem and went to 7.4.3 and it still didn't work. Your problems should be resolved if you roll it back one prior. Here is the link:

  • I purchased a movie on iTunes, but it will not play on my Apple TV1.  It says the Apple TV is not authorized to play this content.

    I purchased a movie on iTunes, but it will not play on my Apple TV1.  It says the Apple TV is not authorized to play this content.

    Annoying isn't it.
    This seems to have started at the end of October and may be some kind of 'authorisation expiry' on the original unit that needs updating.
    Solution include:
    Purchase something on the AppleTV1 itself with DRM (a free TV Show episode might be an idea if yiou can find one).
    Remove the connection to itunes by removing the iTunes library from AppleTV's Computers>Settings menu, then add it back again.
    Remember this will wipe synced content from the AppleTV if AppleTV1 is syncing (My Movies/TV Shows etc) as opposed to streaming (My Shared Movies etc) from that itunes library.  In theory direct purchases on AppleTV that have never transferred to itunes might survive the 'wipe for a clean slate for a new sync' process that happens when you remove a sync library but don't risk it and right click on the AppleTV Device in itunes, choose Transfer Purchases if there are any prior to resetting the AppleTV Computers entry and readding the library.  If AppleTV is streaming only it's very quick to remove the libarry and re-add it as there's nothing to sync when you re-establish the connection - it works I've done it.  Purchasing a protected music video on my other AppleTV1 which was synced also worked.
    Good luck

  • Ipod Video 30GB will not play when it is being charged...

    My new ipod will not play when it is being charged..., it keeps saying "Do not disconnect". Is it normal. If so this ***** !!! Or is there a setting I have overlooked !?
    Gosh, I am a techie and I am having so many problems with this crap & iTunes. Why the fcuk can it not just copy Directory structure (which has music files, photos, etc.) as is and not have to create freakin Playlist.
    Finally I found EphPod, but that thing will not do vidoes and photos.
    -cj
    XP 2000 Intel    

    But the iPod says "Do not disconnect" with the charging symbol !
    Have you Restored the iPod?
    if I eject ipod manually from the cradle or by ejecting it using iTunes. But then it stops charging.
    Your USB ports shut off when the iPod is Ejected.
    Here’s how to fix that.
    1. On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
    2. Double-click the System icon.
    3. Click the Hardware tab.
    4. Click Device Manager.
    5. Scroll down the list of devices to the Universal Serial Bus controllers
    6. Click the plus icon next to the Universal Serial Bus controllers.
    7. Double-click one of the indented USB Root Hub entries.
    8. Click the Power Management tab.
    9. Deselect the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" option.
    10. Click the OK button at the bottom of the window.
    11. Restart the computer.
    Also, about the playlist, if you do not create them, how will you sort or find from 1000's of music files
    You can use playlists but you don’t have to.
    On the iPod they are already sorted by;
    Artist
    Albums
    Songs
    Genre
    Composers
    EPHPod automatically creates a Playlist using the Directory name. Why can't iTunes do the same.
    It doesn’t need to. See above.
    You can create playlists as you want to.

  • My iPhone will not play music, and says it's connected to a dock when it's not. Help?

    My iPhone will not play music. Whenever I try to play music through the speakers on my iPhone it won't let me adjust the volume (like it's connected to a dock) and when I do connect it to a dock, the music plays through the iPhone speakers. Also I've tried just listening to my music through earphones and it plays for around 6 seconds then it goes back to like it's connected to a dock. Help? I've tried turning it off and on, restarting it and even restoring it and nothing's worked.

    It says this when not connected to the dock. His dock is an ihome which isn't an official Apple dock. I think my next step is to take the thing in to an Apple store.

  • HT3798 ipod classic will not play when plugged in

    my ipod classic will suddenly not play when plugged in.  it is fully charged.  the message I get: contact www.apple.com/support/ipod
    I am unable to resolve my issue when going there and browsing the articles.  above the message is  red circle with an "X" in the middle of it.
    HELP!!!

    Which model is this iPod.  The "original" iPod was 5GB or 10GB, so this must be a 3rd gen iPod, at the earliest.  This document shows all the iPod models.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1353
    If it's a 3rd gen iPod, it has a dock connector, but it needs to be connected to a FireWire port to charge.  It does not charge from a USB port.

  • I have brought a HD flim and it will not play no my Apple tv

    I have brought a flim on my mac and have sync it to my apple tv but i will not play??

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • New iMac will not play Adobe. APPLE directed me to you to solve the issue. Please assist.

    Please assist. My new iMac with latest operating platform by APPLE will not play Adobe on Safari. ESPN.com, as example, has articles that have videos attached. The error message pops up that I must upload / update ADOBE. I do that, but it does not resolve the issue. APPLE believes that the program should be deleted, removed from the Mac, and then re-uploaded via Adobe Technical Support. Can you assist? Thanks. Bob

  • I pod will not play when on sony dock

    got new sony i pod speaker dock, worked fine for about 2 months, downloaded ios 6.1 now i pod will not play through dock. any resolutions out there?

    Reset the dock
    Go to Sony's support site
    Sometimes this works
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    However, sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility you have to wiat for an iOS update or an update to the firmware for your dock

  • Netflix will not play on my Mac anymore after latest update...HELP!!

    After latest update, Netflix will no longer play.  When I select a movie, it prompts me to install Microsoft Silverlight, which I have repeatedly done.  Netflix claims the latest MAC update is to blame, not a Netflix issue....PLEASE, any assistance is greatly appreciated.

  • Videos will not play when Adobe Flash is installed

    I have always used Adobe Flash, and never had a problem with it.  When I installed the lastest release several months ago, I discovered that videos would not play at all. It's not just You Tube either; it's whatever site I visit. Six months of dealing with that was too much, so I uninstalled it, went online to look for an alternative, and guess what? The videos play just fine at MOST sites.  Others say that I need to install Flash Player.
    This is confusing, especially since I have no idea as to why this is happening. At the moment I do not have Flash installed, but I do need to resolve this. Any help would be appreciated, as far as ideas, recommendations etc. Thank you.

    YouTube is almost finished with the transition to HTML5 (MP4). The reason thay've done this is to be accessible to phone and tablet viewers who can't use Flash. Javascript in their pages determines if a browser has Flash Player, and if it doesn't, the page will display video in HTML5. THAT's why you see what you do there. NOT ALL websites have done this though. Yahoo is working on it, as are Hulu, Dailymotion and others. NetFlix has switched to SilverLight for playback which causes its own problems if you don't have THAT installed.
    Add to this mix, Microsoft released (without any "real world" testing) IE 11 almost two months ago (October 18) and it's been a nightmare to say the least. Pages/Sites don't recognize it because they screwed up some code in it, and... if a page or site can't recognize the browser, it certainly won't recognize any plug-ins it uses. Not a problem for HTML5 video which doesn't require the Player, but Facebook games, Pogo, and many other Flash sites DO require a browser and plug-in that the code recognizes.
    Is IE11 your browser by chance?

  • Ipod touch will not play music on Apple TV

    I have recently purchased Apple TV. For the most part i have no issues. However iPod touch will airplay video to Apple TV but no icon appears to airply music. Mucsic and video will airplay from my iPhone 4 and my iPad, but iPod touch's gen 2, 3 and 4 will only play video. Can someone help or refer me to a post where this has been resolved?
    Thanks in advance.

    I have had the same issue since getting the iBooks 1.5 upgrade.  Now whenever I go into iBook my music just fades out and stops as if I opened a program that will be using the audio.  I have tried the back up and reset, etc. to no avail. 
    The funny thing is that I can open an App like Angry Birds where I have the audio muted and music will continue playing.  Seems as if it is a bad update to iBooks.  My iPod Touch is the 8GB from the prev generation, not sure if that would matter based on the App.

  • I started setting up a web page with iWeb. Auto play box is checked, but music will not play when page is opened.

    I started setting up a web page with IWeb.
    Several proplems so far:
    1) Auto Play box checked for music, but music does not start when page is opened.
    2) Can't get Quicktime "start/stop" slide to start and finish a section within a long piece of music (classical for example).  How does one work the slide bar to do this?

    Yes the audio file plays on the iWeb page when I click the play button.  I even made sure it played both without the “little boxes” that surround the icon (don’t know the technical name for those), and when I click the music icon without the little boxes.
    I did note that the iTunes window that appears when I open the Inspector is not highlighted until I click the music icon and those little boxes appear.  Then the Start/Stop, Auto Play,  Loop, and Show Movie Controller are highlighted —  and work properly.
    One other thing.  I see that the iWeb icon I am working from says “Domain copy.sites2.”  Does that have a bearing on anything?

  • My iTunes shows will not play on my Apple TV

    When I go to the purchased show I want to watch and click play it goes into its thinking screen like its about to play but then goes back to the screen where it asks you to play again. This is happening with all my shows. No message. I tried restarting and that did not work. Can anyone help?

    I do not know if you are experiencing problems with renting or purchasing items from the Apple TV through iTunes, if so see: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23399558#23399558 to determine if there are the same problems you are experiencing.  I  have spent over 6 hours on this issue trying to isolate if it is a  hardware, software, network, iTunes account, or Apple device issue.  My  initial results indicate it is a software specific issue related to the  Apply TV hardware device.
