Netflix on Apple TV2

I am not able to see Netflix on the apple TV2. It does not show in the menu. It just shows only 3 main menus on the main page; Internet, Computers & Settings. Under the internet I only see youTube, MobileMe, flickr, Radio & In Theaters.

Yes, Netflix recently launched there. However, they have not added support for all IOS devices yet. They are working on it. You can contact them if you want more details.

  • Apple tv2 says Netflix not available

    I have had my apple tv2 for exactly a week now and it has worked flawlessly. Until now. I was watching a movie from netflix and I had to stop watching it, when I tried to restart to watch it I get an error saying Netflix is currently unavailable and to try back later. I tried back later and got the same error. I read some the other discussions and tried their recommendations. I unplugged it for a few hours and that didn't work. I reset the device as well as restored the device and none of the suggestions worked. I check to see if Netflix worked on my computer and my iPad, which they did. All the other streaming services work as does home sharing.
    Any ideas as to why I get this "Netflix is currently unavailable and to try back later" message?

    All week my Netflix seem to have insane lag on Apple TV 2. I even plug the router directly into apple tv. Today after I tried to stream Netflix using my ipad 2.This time i turn off mirroring and it work I can stream with little lag. but after 1 episode Netflix just sit there try to buffer the content for like 20min. I turn off airplay on my ipad 2 and try netflix on apple tv2 it give me the message "unavailable". I turn on my xbox 360 it seem fine.
    What I think is Apple don't want Apple fans to watch Netflix using apple tv. They wanted you to go pay $5.99 per episode or per movie on their itunes store.
    **** you Apple so greedy.

  • TS4479 Apple TV2 cannot connect to Netflix .. message on tv screen always say "Netflix currently unavailable."

    Apple TV2 cannot connect to Netflix .. message on tv screen always say "Netflix currently unavailable.  Please try again later."   I have tried both wifi and ethernet connection but to no avail.  ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED.

    ..hi, Diesel.
    ..after resetting, and for the first time ever, ATV2 is able to access Netflix and that I was able to log in for the first time too!  It stayed on processing for the longest time getting in into Netflix.  However, the same message "Netflix is currently unavailable.  Try again later."  had reappeared on tv screen after.  Resetted and restarted ATV2 again but the same message had reappeared.

  • Apple TV2/Netflix Lip-Sync Issues

    Although Netflix plays with no problems on my PC using the same wireless network that my Apple TV uses, I am experiencing severe lip-sync issues when viewing Netflix on my Apple TV2. Audio is around 400-500ms behind the video. I am connected to my TV via the HDMI out. Video and audio are perfect, just not in sync.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Chuck

    I also assumed that it was the ATV2, but then i streamed a large h.264 file from itunes on my Mac, the Apple October event from the podcast section directly from Apple, and no issues, went back to NetFlix, loaded up another movie "Superman Doomsday", and no lip-sync issue, went back to the original file, "Rocky Horror Picture Show" and lip sync galore.
    I think its NetFlix creating a separate encode for ATV2 and those encodes are probably still underway, again, this is merely a guess, but its consistent with the YouTube experience, as certain videos that appear on YouTube do not appear in the Apple iteration of YouTube (iPhone, iPad, ATV2). A great example is Kanye West Runaway. It's a 30 minute long form film and appears on the YouTube, but does not appear in the YouTube IOS application.

  • My Apple TV2 keeps resetting when watching NETFLIX. This started about one week ago. I can watch fine from my MAC. Both are hardwired to my Aiport network..

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • Volume control for video playback through Apple TV2

    I am trying to configure the volume settings used on airplay through apple TV2 and a macbook pro and Iphone4 all with most recent updates.
    I am using the apple remote app on my iphone to control the apple tv.
    Whats working:
    Using the pandora app on my iphone through aiplay to the apple tv, I can control the volume using the plus and minus buttons on the side of the iphone for volume control. Very cool and easy.
    Using the apple remote app on my iphone I can control the itunes volume of different speakers by clicking on the airplay icon and using a slider.  Not as cool as using the hard +/- buttons but still works.
    Whats not working:
    Controling volume on appleTV2 through the iphone remote app for video playbacks like netflix, and youtube.
    Why I want this: RIght now I can control most of the multimedia right from my iphone including cranking the music up:) But when I switch over to video(Netlfix, Youtube) I have to get out another remote (stereo reciever) to control the volume. It seems we are so close to being able to control everything off the iphone, the only thing missing is volume control for video playback.
    Is there a setting that can be changed or a solution I havent found?
    Thanks

    Same problem with TV3. HDMI volume output is not adjustable, neither with the original Apple remote nor with any universal. Why ? Every simple settop-box is able to be volume adjusted. And a Mac Mini too ?!!!
    I use a flatscreen TV. it has 3 HDMI inputs and one optical out for the audio going to an amp standing behind it. The sound of the TV is switched to go to the optical out.
    HDMI 1 is connected to the satellite settop box with its  own remote control ( channel +/-, volume +/- etc. ) it work s fine.
    HDMI 2 is connected to the MacMini HDMI out with its own remote control ( channel/music +/-, volume +/- ) it works fine too.
    HDMI 3 was connected to Apple TV3 with its own remote control ( channel/music +/- but no volume ). I sent the TV3 back to Apple.
    What's going wrong in the mind of Apple ? Why is the HDMI volume output of the MacMini adjustable with the Apple remote, and the TV3 not ?
    I want not to discuss, wether a 4th remote control is useful or not. I don't want it. I want to adjust the volume with the originl remote control of the specific unit I use, because I need it anyway. It worked since years, but not with Apple TV3.
    How can we help Apple to open the volume +/- function on their own remote control ?

  • Apple TV2 periodically stops playing audio

    Hi
    I have had an annoying problem with my Apple TV2 after upgrading to the latest firmware (6.0). When streaming video content from my MacMini Server (via ethernet) the Apple TV periodically stops playing the audio while the movie keeps playing without audio. I can solve the problem by pausing and then continuing the movie, which will bring back the audio.
    I have tried to restore and reinstall the firmware (6.0) via the Apple TV because I also had problems with the Apple TV stuttering when streaming content from my MacMini, but the reinstallation of firmware did not solved the issue.
    I don't know if this is somehow related to the issue, but after having updated to firmware 6.0 Netflix often ask me for my login credetials on the Apple TV. This is an issue that I also never experienced before upgrading the firmware.
    What to do now?
    Thanks...

    So it's been a few months since I saw this thread started, and I am still having the same issues as above with my Apple TV 3. I can go a day or two and at some point, all connections just seem to error out. HBO go, Netflix, me streaming from my ipad, etc.   thought they would have been addressed by now.
    I have to hard reboot (power plug only) in order for it to go back to normal.
    I know it's a hardware issue as I have an Apple TV 2 setup in another room and it never gives me an issue,
    The weird thing is, I have the exact same setup at my office as well.  An Apple TV 3 in the main conf. Area and an Apple TV 2 in our break area. Same issue - Apple TV 3 needs hard (pore Plug) reset every few days and the Apple TV 2 in the break room is rock solid for months.
    Both Apple TV 3 units are at most recent 6.1 software release.
    Anyone have any ideas?  Think I a just going to put my Apple TV 3's aside for a while and use the 2's until it gets worked out.

  • Are all tv's with hdmi inputs compatible with Apple TV2?

    I am considering purchasing a new TV.  My older model Sony TV, even though it has an HDMI input, is not compatible with Apple TV.  Do I have to take my Apple TV to Best Buy and plug it into every TV I look at to determine if they are compatible? Does Apple publish a list of compatible TV's?

    I receive an errror message telling me that my HDMI connection is not HDCP compatible.  I contacted Apple Support, visited my local Apple Store (with my Apple TV2), and bought new cables...nothing works.  I cannot watch Netflix or stream movies I have purchased from my iMac onto my TV.  Very frustrating.

  • No Caption on Apple tv2

    There is no "close caption " with Apple TV 2 and Nexflix.
    Will you have a solution. Eliminating Apple tv2 if there is no caption.
    How can you do that?

    I can't comment on thsi as i can't get Netflix, but both Netflix and AppleTV would need to support it.

  • After applying update my apple tv2 will randomly go to a black screen that lasts for a few seconds. When it gets back to normal after a few seconds it acts like the video never stopped since its farther along in the timeline. This happens with all video c

    After applying update my apple tv2 will randomly go to a black screen that lasts for a few seconds. When it gets back to normal after a few seconds it acts like the video never stopped since its farther along in the timeline. This happens with all video content wether its from Netflix or streaming from my iTunes library

    You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a 30 seconds. If that doesn't help try using another HDMI cable.

  • Cannot Access iTunes Store on Apple TV2 after purchase

    Hello,
    I cannot access iTunes Store on apple TV2.  I purchased a movie, but when i got to watch it after it shows up as "Rented" it just sits at the screen "Accessing iTunes Store".  Never times, out or produces error message.  Internet is working fine, my account is fine.
    If i launch an iTunes Store Trailer, it plays fine.  Just my rented material does not play.  Also, my Netflix account does the same thing from Apple TV2.  While accessing Netflix on my laptop there is no problem.  ***!

    Having exactly the same problem.  I have completed a reset, rebooted all my equipment and completed a software update, but after I have purchased 2 movies, and have them appear as "rented", I cannot get them to load without waiting a hour.  Then, if I leave the movie, I have the same problem all over again.  I also cannot access the iTunes store.

  • I get no 5.1 surround sound from apple tv2 for any media

    I have apple tv2 and think its great. However I have it connected to my ken wood surround sound system and only get sound from 2 speakers for all media including movies, netflix, my iTunes library and airplay from my iPhone or ipad.
    There is no problem with connections and the same fibre optic cable supports 5.1 in the same port of my ken wood when it it connected to my DVD player.
    My Dolby in settings is set to on.
    Any suggestions

    You really need to specify exactly what imac you have.  Current ones I believe have an optical (out) and in and I think that can be combined with usb to produce multi-channel sound.  But it's just an academic exercise if you don't have the optical.
    Also, google "5.1 audio on imac" for lots of hits on this topic.

  • Apple TV2 slow to play

    I hate to add to this chorus of compaints regarding the Apple TV2, but I too just purchased an Apple TV2 for Christmas.  All my movies are already loaded on my Mac Pro and exist in iTunes.  It is not a problem with downloading or streaming from Apple.  They play fine on the MacPro.  The regular definition movies play almost instantly on my Apple TV2.
    The Problem is that I cannot get it to play an HD movie.  I purchased my first HD movie from the iTunes store last night.  It downloaded from the iTunes store to my Mac Pro  in approximately 20 minutes along with what appears as a regular definition version of the movie and "extras".  I have been watching over 20 minutes of spinning beachballs waiting for it to begin playing on the Apple TV2.  The Airport Utility says that Apple TV2 connection to my Airport Extreme is "Excellent" with a data rate of 65 MB/s, an RSSI (whatever that is) of -49, and a Mode of 802.11 b/g/n
    Can anyone help?  Otherwise this device is useless for me to watch HD video.  My Mac Pro is running the latest version of Snow Leapord (10.6.8) and all other software is up to date with the latest version.
    Is there a reset that I need to push?  Anything?

    Just got off the phone with Apple Support.  There procedure was the following:
    1.  Go to the Apple TV, select settings, general and scroll down to reset.
    2.  Select reset and then select reset all
    Apple TV will go through a restart after the reset and you will have to select your network then log in with your network or Airport Express password.  You will then have to turn on home sharing and It will then ask you for your Apple ID for the iTunes store and then the password.  At this point you may not see your library, because the Apple TV wants you to turn on home sharing on your home computer that is hosting the movie library.  Turn off home sharing on that computer, restart iTunes and turn on home sharing again.  After this is done you should be able to see you library listed under the computer.
    After going through these steps, when I select an HD movie from my iTunes library the movie comes up after about a 5 second delay.
    Hope this helps!  I am back up for business.

  • How do I connect Apple TV2 to an older TV?

    Hi Apple Community
    I just bought 2 Apple TV2s, one for my family room and one for my bedroom. My family room TV is a late generation Sony WEGA (Trinitron/CRT) with a YPbPr (RGB RCA) port in the back of it. I knew that AppleTV2 did not have a component video connection, so I bought a cheap HDMI to component signal converter to connect to the YPbPr port.
    Well, when i connected everything up all I get are crazy lines on the screen (clearly there is a signal translation issue). In theory everything should have worked. I am sure this issue has come up for others in the community - is there an HDMI converter box that you would recommend that will work in this situation? I looked online and there seem to be half a dozen candidates, but I'd like to get an opinion from this forum. Any thoughts?
    Dude

    I'm not really willing to recommend any converters since most of them will run into an issue with HDCP which is included in iTunes content purchased and rented from the iTMS since component doesn't support HDCP. Any conversion device that circumvents such copy protection cannot be discussed in these forums under it's terms of Use.
    I have one thought about the converter you have purchased, check that your TV is YPbPr and not YCbCr.
