Netflix on iPad G1

I rencently found out that i can get netflix on my iPad G1, but when i go to the app store and try to download it, it tells me that i need to update to the latest verison of ISO 6, but apparently i cant get 6 or 7 on the first ipad. Is there anything I can do to get around this?

Yes, Netflix has been streaming to iPad for more than two years now. You're a bit late to the party and I think in this case, the party has already ended for your iPad G1.
The first generation iPad can be updated only to iOS version 5.1.1, which you are running according to your profile. According to Netflix, the app does indeed require iOS 6 or later. Although Apple now allows developers to provide earlier versions of apps to it's customers, the developers themselves decide whether or not to do so. That decision is based on a number of factors including technical considerations, user experience and customer support.
Unfortunately, unless you can convince Netflix to re-release an iOS 5 compatible version, I think you are out of luck.

  • Trying to stream netflix from iPad to tv...not working...have av and hdmi hooked up...?????

    trying to stream netflix from iPad to tv, but not working...settings in iPad, or something?

    Sorry, totally missed that. Can you give some information about what is happening when you plug your iPad to the TV?
    For example, does normal mirroring work (i.e., do you see your iPad home screen on the TV when you plug it)? Does any application other than netflix (be it a game or another streaming application) work? Do you get an error? Does it just show a white/black/blank screen on your iPad and TV?

  • Best way to watch Netflix? Ipad 3 or direct connect to Panny ready blu-ray?

    I am researching the best way to stream Netflix?  Here is what I have;
    Brand new iPad 3
    Pioneer VSX-1120 which has both HDMI inputs and a iPad USB/rca input.
    Panasonic DMP-BDT1-- Blu-Ray with Netflix ready, (has ability to connect to Internet via Ethernet or wirless adapter)
    Panasonic TC-P58VT25 full 3d HDTV with HDMI and Ethernet inputs.
    Westell 7500 wireless router
    What are your suggestions?
    Download Netflix on iPad and connect to Pioneer receiver  This would stream wireless from the router to iPad  Then wired from iPad to receiver???
    Just connect the Blu-Ray player or TV to the Router with Ethernet?  No wireless involved.
    Help...???

    I would go Ethernet (assuming it is not a problem running the cable), and allow your Blu-Ray player do the work.  That way your WiFi bandwidth for in hone computer-to-computer Data transfers is not affected, and any such in home transfers do not affect your Netflix viewing.  Also if you have any WiFi interference it will not affect your Netflix viewing.
    This would leave your iPad free to play with during the movie :-)
    I would use the iPad to browse and select Netflix movies putting them in your "Instant Queue", so you can easily start watching form the Blu-Ray player.  Chances are the Blu-Ray player's user interface is not very user friendly :-)
    You can still download Netflix to your iPad, and watch movies directly on your iPad when you do not want to sit in front of your TV (such as when you are away from home, or someone else is using the TV).
    This is more or less the setup I use, only I have an internet capable TV with Netflex built in. I had the option of Ethernet or WiFi, and went Ethernet, for all the reasons above, especally since browsing Netflix via the TV interface is a pain, but selecting a movie already in my Netflix Instant Queue was easy. And I still watch a movie on my iOS device, if that is more convent.
    If the Blu-Ray Netflx experence is not as good as using the iPad, or if there is extra expensive equipment to buy, or getting Ethernet to the TV location is a problem, them adjust your setup accordingly.

  • I cant watch netflix on ipad, it wont let me download update because ipad doesnt have ios 4

    When i click on the netflix app, it says to update to the latest version of the app. So when i try to download the update to the app, it tells me i cant download the app because my original ipad does not have ios 4.  So now i cant watch netflix on my ipad at all?? Please help.

    Hmmmm, what to do.  I know.......update your software on your iPad .  If you have iOS 3.x a lot has changed, and you need to connect your iPad to your computer and install the latest OS via iTunes.  You're missing the cloud and a lot of great new features.  A lot of upgrades have come and gone since you last updated.  The current version is 5.1.1

  • Netflix on iPad vs. MacPro for display of movie

    I like to watch Netflix movies on my iPad 3 and I just got a Macbook Pro w/Retina and the movies are not as sharp on the Macbook as they are on the iPad.  Has anyone found a solution to this issue or is it that the Netflix app for iPad has solved the problem and the Macbook Pro cannot handle it?
    Thanks

  • Can I stream Netflix from iPad to iTV?

    is there a reason iPad won't stream Netflix to iTV?  I heard you can send it via hardwire from an iPad.

    Hey .. no blasting intended (sorry if my post came across as harsh).
    I was just trying to shed some light upon a legitimate reason as to why someone would want to "AirPlay" (streaming or not as I explained) NetFlix through to AppleTV.
    As it stands, if I want to accomplish the above, I have to basically set up the movie from scratch (save the "find the spot where I am in the film" of course, as there is the "resume" feature of course).
    Being able to walk in your front door (or walk down from a bedroom/kitchen) and BLIP NetFlix right onto the screen with a simple touch of an icon would be quite nice.
    But then again, I guess manually turning the AppleTV on, clicking over to NetFlix, going to "recently watched", clicking the movie, then clicking "Resume" .. isn't THAT big of a deal. But still.
    Know what I mean?
    But again, in no way was I meaning to offend. People like you are the back-bone of support forums! So kudos to you ten folds!
    Still hoping to edit a favorites list and the history though! Mind boggeling why this hasn't been implemented yet. From what I gather, you have to cancel your subscription and re-subscribe to clean your history. Ludicrous! And even then, it erases ALL your history, not just the films you happened to look into and happened to skip. Now my history is littered with random movies that technically are NOT movies I've watched. In effect, my history is actually a useless feature due to this (for the most part). Ahh frustrations with seemingly simple technology.
    Just venting really. It's another issue altogether, yeah?
    Cheers!

  • Netflix damage iPad screen?

    Hi, I've heard and read that diaplaying static images could cause damage a screen, and that's my concern
    Hi, Recently got an iPad 2 mainly to watch netflix and also bought an Apple Digital AV adapter today so I can watch it on my TV.
    The thing is that if I start to playback a movie with the Digital AV pluged in, the movie displays in the tv and a static red Netflix logo is displayed on the ipad.
    And as far as I saw, that image won't go away. And he ipad will stop the playback if it gets locked.
    Will my iPad screen get damaged by using the netflix app and the digital AV adapter?
    Thanks so much in advance.

    It will cost you approximately US$219.00 to US$299.00 depending on the model.
    Apple will replace the entire iPad; they don't repair.

  • Netflix Problem iPad

    Hey there,
    my Netflix App has not been working on my iPad for 2-3 months now. No matter what movie/show I want to watch I always get the message "Cannot play movie. Please try again later". I can watch Netflix on my iPhone and MacBook without any problems.
    Here's what I've tried so far:
    - delete and reinstall the Netflix app
    - reboot my iPad
    - restore my iPad
    - iPad runs the latest iOS update and Netflix update
    I also called Netflix support service. They told me there's nothing they can do to help me and there's probably something wrong with the iPad/iOS. Again: it works perfectly fine on my iPhone.
    Has anyone had the same problem? It's quite annoying
    PS: My iPad also won't play videos in Safari. It used to work without any problems, but suddenly stopped also 2-3 months ago. I just get a crossed play-button (on the exact same websites as before).

    So I have now downloaded the latest Netflix app update and it has not fixed the problem at all. It still says "Cannot play video, connected display is not supported." I downloaded the NBC app and that says "Airplay is not supported." I have not problem playing videos straight from the Safari app or Youtube. Can anyone out there tell me what is wrong. This is super frustrating. It isn't clear to me if this is a Netflix problem or Apple problem since people at either place point to the other company when I talk to them on the phone. It ***** when updates create problems where none existed before.
    Anyone else running into this?
    Anyone found a fix?

  • Netflix on iPad with restrictions set to only allow "Specific Websites Only"

    I have Netflix app installed on my child's iPad.  I have restrictions in place on the iPad too - Website restrictions set to "Specific Websites Only".
    When I do this the netflix app just spins (never gets to the Netflix login).
    If I remove restrictions to allow "All Websites" Netflix works.
    I also allowed www.netflix.com as an Allowed Website.  Also set Safari "Block Cookies" to never to see if this would help.  No luck.
    I want Netflix to work, but I also want the restrictions on the iPad to be set to "Specific Websites Only".
    Netflix support said (tried them first):
    Just spoke with my team who informed me that they have received a few of these complaints. The Netflix app was introduced on the Ipad as a partnership with Apple. We do not have much control over the function of of the permission on the device. They have asked that you reach out to Apple to determine if there is a work around.
    Anyone know how to fix this???

    hello msreyes,
    after countless hours of googling for answers i came up with a solution that works on my situation...it could work for you, its not 100% kids-proof (if your child is tech-savvy then maybe this wont work for you but anyways...)
    first step go Settings/ General/ Safari and set your search engine
    then Go to Settings/ General/ Restrictions/ Enter your passcode, after you set your restrictions (obviously this step differ from parents to kids age) just for reference here are my screenshots of how i managed the kids phone
    ok, so now to the point...next i checked "Limit Adult Content"
    and finally you type as many "search engine" and "social media"  websites you can possible find. " i know that could be quite allot of URL's but by you having Google as "default  serarch enigine and also having www.google.com in th the "NEVER ALLOW" section you kind of take away the "avility" to easly browse Safary,
    so say your child types facebook in safari search bar it will show a " website is restricted" message, thus not allowing google or any websites you strict "for that matter" to let your child roam free in the internet world.
    and to wrap things up, you can now use Netflix's app in you iPhone. and perhaps your child will never find a walk around glitch..

  • Cannot open netflix on ipad after downloading ios7

    Netflix will not open on ipad after downloading ios7

    You have to go to settings, safari, and accept cookies from third parties and advertisers or always accept cookies.. After all day yesterday trying various techniques I stumbled upon the answer when I couldn't open itunes either. Before ios 7 I had my cookie settings in safari to always block cookies and netflix worked fine. After installing ios 7 I couldn't open netflix. I then couldn't open itunes. Once I went to safari in settings and allowed cookies from third paries and advertisers, netflix and itunes opened fine.

  • Why can't I install Youtube or Netflix on IPad Air 2 in Canada?

    I'm a Canadian and own an Ipad Air 2 purchased from Apple Canada. Youtube and Netflix apps are available in the App Store but the install link is disabled (see pic). Any idea why the two applications are not available?

    I disabled restrictions and it fixed it. Thanks for the solution.
    Weirdly, I could install other applications before.  The restrictions only impacted netflix and youtube.  Thanks again.

  • Just installed Netflix on iPad , and the movie is not playing on apple tv

    The Netflix movies playing on iPad are now showing on apple tv ??

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If that doesn't work then you could try connecting it to your computer's iTunes - you might need to put it into recovery mode first : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4097
