Netflix: An error occurred-ed-ed-ed-ed

I've enountered this error a number of times while trying to watch a netflix through my apple tv 2 (4.4.4): "An error occured loading this content." Usually content will load in an hour or a day, but as of the past 3 days I've been unable to watch content through Netflix due to this error.
For troubleshooting I've tried:
multiple soft resets
multiple hard resets
unplugging all connecting power and hdmi cables from the box and tv / power outlet, letting it sit for a couple of minutes.
signing out and back in to netfilx
Still I get nothing. I can watch netflix fine from my computer, wii, the netflix app on my hdtv, ipad, iphone, etc. Just not through the appletv (the thing I use the most to stream content). Movies purchased through iTunes work fine, as does xbmc. Any idea what is happening?

  • 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.

  • TS3623 "An error occurred loading this content..try again later" is the message that I get when using my Apple TV remote.  I click on Breaking Bad; then I click on an episode and get the message which I just quoted.  Is this a Netflix 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.

  • I am trying to watch netflix and everything I click on comes up as an unknown error occurred.  Why is this?

    Not sure if this is where I should go for help but when I click on things to watch on my Netflix acct it comes up as an unknown error occurred.  I have watched things in ABC.com and they play fine.  Is there something that needs to be downloaded?

    Can you give more details?   What exactly is the entire error message text?  there should be an error number too.   Are you trying to finalize this to an external disk?

  • I keep getting a message an error occurred loading this content every time I get on Netflix??  don't know what to do!!  Help

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Error occuring when trying to download movie from apple tv

    When ever I rent a movie from apple tv an error occurs when I go to downlaod it. The error just says that the movie cant download right now, try again later. Even after numerous attempts the movie still wont download. This had been happening for months and I've just been watching movies from netflix. I'm being charged for movies I can't even watch! How can I fix this problem?

    First, what is your internet speed? www.speedtest.net
    iTunes HD content requires 6mbps (SD would be 3mbps)
    Netflix uses variable bit-rate so it simply degrades on slower connections
    iTunes content waits to play until enough has buffered for playback without interupption

  • 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.

  • An error occurred while loading this content / Apple tv 3

    please i need help i cannot stream rented movies on my apple tv 2 or 3 .. this message occured (an error occurred while loading this content

    Has any other fixes been found.  Since I updated to the latest iOS I've been having a similar problem.  It doesn't matter what I stream through either.  I bought I ATV2 when they first came out and have been using it perfectly fine, however after the last update I haven't been able to stream my movies, tv or even Netflix. 
    I've also been having issues with my ATV2 connecting to my windows 7 desktop where I store all of my movies and TV shows.  I have to deauthorize home sharing and turn it back on for my ATV2 to recognize that it is even on.  Frustrating to say the least.
