Netflix on iPhone?

I was reading this article about why Apple won't allow Flash on it's mobile devices.
http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
it implies that you can watch Netflix on an iPhone. But I can't find anyway to do this. If I go to netflix and choose watch instantly it doesn't work. Is there some way to do this? Or is the article misleading?

I believe Netflix has an app available for the iPad, and they have announced the same will be available for the iPhone and iPod Touch this summer.

Do I need Apple Tv to play Netflix from Iphone 4s to my hdmi tv?

Is Apple Tv needed to play Netflix content from my iphone 4s 7.1.2 to an hdmi tv?

Yes it is, the ATV is like an extension of your iDevice. Better yet, the ATV has its own Netflix app so you don't need your iPhone. Works like a charm.

Netflix on iPhone AND...iPad

Play netflix through IPhone onto PC or TV

I have a sattelite internet connection with limited bandwith. I have the 3GS Iphone with unlimited data. Is there a way I can use the Iphone to watch movies on my PC or TV to save my sattelite bandwidth for other uses?

I bought a cable and none of the streaming video apps work to the TV

HT4528 I'm trying to stream netflix from iPhone 4S to my tv. I have an apple 30 pin adaptor and an hdmi cable. Every time I plug everything in I loose my 3G and get the circle icon and nothing works. Help!

Help!

You have to swipe in a left to right motion. If the airplay icon isn't showing up it's likely something within your network that is blocking it. You can also try rebooting devices and router.

Netflix works on iphone but not MacBook Pro?

I'm a new Apple Macbook pro guy. Switched from Window PCs after getting my iphone. I downloaded the Netflix for iphone - works great, but Netflix on my MAC wants Silverlight. Is that secure? I heard you also have to enable JavaScripts - Java is secure, but JavaScripts are not?
Old guy needs some help :-)

It doesn't seem like anybody is going to respond to this thread, but I guess I will keep updating it just in case (and perhaps if I ever find a solution it will be helpful to others).
Since my last post I have been to about 12 hotels in both Thailand and Cambodia. This issue has continued with some variations:
* At 3 of the hotels the wifi on my MacBook Pro actually worked! It seemed to work ok, with minimal speed issues.
* At 6 of the hotels the wifi did not work on my MacBook Pro, but worked fine on my iPhone.
* At 3 of the hotels the wifi worked on my MacBook Pro but was PAINFULLY slow (to point where I couldn't upload photos, could barely check facebook, etc). In fact, it was so slow that I basically gave up using the internet with my MacBook Pro and used my iPhone instead (which had normal speeds).
I have continued to search the internet for solutions and nothing has helped yet. It seems like this is a common issue with newer MacBook Pros, especially with OS Lion.
I have also concluded that this isn't necessarily an Asia specific issue. It seems like an issue with my MacBook Pro and using various WiFi routers with various setups. Some work, but most do not. Unfortunately I do not have access to any of the routers that I am using, so changing router setup is not an option.

Moving from OS 3.1.2 to OS 3.1.3 on 3G iPhone (while iOS 4 is out)

Hello iPhone 3G Community,
I have an iPhone 3G with the older OS 3.1.2 firmware. I'm beginning to download new Apps, like Netflix for iPhone and the ESPN Fantasy Football Draft Kit which require OS 3.1.3.
Apple seems to be only offering iOS 4 now, but I'm not interested in upgrading the 3G to iOS 4. How can I go to OS 3.1.2? If I had a 3GS, or iPhone4 I'd be more comfortable making the switch iOS 4, but I rather not with my 3G.
What are my options? Will my 3G become a brick because I missed the boat on upgrading to OS 3.1.3? I wasn't wanting to upgrade my hardware to 3GS or iPhone4 just yet, but I may have to if I can't go to OS 3.1.3 with my 3G.
Thanks for your help.
-TJ
PS: I'm also not interested in jailbreaking - that just sounds like trouble, even if it is legal and all - but if it's possible, this may be another option.

You can only upgrade to the latest software.
"Will my 3G become a brick because I missed the boat on upgrading to OS 3.1.3? "
NO. It is a brick now?
Jailbreaking violates Apples software license, voids the warranty and cannot be discussed on these forums.

HT201415 My iPhone5 uses LTE (AT&T) even when connected to wifi

My iPhone5 uses cellular data when LTE is on, even if it's connected to wifi. If I turn off LTE, then it will connect to the wifi network. This has caused me to go over my data plan, since I don't have unlimited data, thinking I was on wifi, when in reality i was using my celular data plan. I have called AT&T and they claim they have not heard about this before, and to call Apple. I called Apple and they also tell me that they have no record of such issue. I have 2 iphone5 on my AT&T account and they both exhibit the same issues. Has anyone found a solution for this? It's very annoying to have to turn LTE off when I get home and on my home wifi.

These are the speeds I'm getting: 27.52Mbps on LTE, and 11.32Mbps on wifi, so cellular data IS faster then wifi. I like the faster speeds, but I don't have unlimited, so if I stream videos on Netflix, the iphone will use LTE. If Apple or AT&T would have told us this before, we would have saved hundreds of dollars on overages, but then again, we're talking about AT&t and Apple!

Dont know security answers or security e-mail address

So i am trying to use my apple id on my apple tv(netflix), ipad, iphone, imac but everytime i try to log on and use or buy something it asks me for my secuirty answers which i have no clue what are and i also have no clue what the security e-mail address is, it is none of my old ones and not a old email from a family member. What can i do to reset the questions and/or email and begin using the app store or logging in on my devices?

Welcome to the Apple community Sindri.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

I am unable to stream Netflix to my Iphone or Apple TV, from my wireless router . . . even though I am able to watch Netflix on my WII (also wireless) and desktop computer (not wireless).

I am unable to stream Netflix to my Iphone or Apple TV, from my wireless router . . . even though I am able to watch Netflix on my WII (also wireless) and desktop computer (not wireless).
On the Iphone and Apple TV I can connect to Netflix . . . it recognizes me and my account settings . . . and I can veiw all my recent programs and show titles, descriptions, etc.. But when I select one to watch I get a message saying:
"ERROR A PROBLEM OCCURED WHILE PLAYING THIS ITEM. TRY AGAIN LATER, OR SELECT A DIFFERENT ITEM. GO TO WWW.NETFLIX.COM/SUPPORT FOR MORE INFORMATION. (139)
Netflix support say there is nothing wrong on their end . . . that it is an Apple issue. They see the request for the show, the devices are registered . . . but it shows 0 bandwidth to the device.
My Apple TV did this when I first hooked it up a couple of weeks ago. Then after a few days started working with Netflix, for no apparent change . . . now doesn't again for the past couple of days (I think that it auto restarted the other night after a virus scan).
Very frustrating, and driving me nuts! Has anyone else had and been able to resolve this problem?

Troubleshooting
Apple TV2 update one day and netflix is browsing but not launching the actual content (error 139)
Ipad2 (another ios device) forces me to update netflix if I want to use it and I get the same error 139 on it.
**** now I have two not ways not working where prior to some update it was fine.
Nintendo Wii is still working ( mind you running an ancient version of netflix ) Dusted the Wii off and gave it to the kids use. Now they are happy again...
PC is also still working ( using some other flash client ) but that's just of interest, we're not going to be watching tv with that.
My wife's iphone 4s is still working. Odd.. still ios but for somereason I am not forced to update the version. So basically she could mirror stream up to the apple tv with it. Nice feature of Ios5. Later found out it is using 1.4 version of netflix. The most useful thing out of that is that all 3 of the devices are Ios and it was actually the iphone with the 1.4 version of netflix that still worked!
I heard from a friend who was on a different ISP he was still working so I took my appletv2 and ipad2 over to my brothers house who is on that same ISP as my friend and both started working. So the ISP is involved too!
Brought the appletv2 and ipad2 back to my house hoping it would maybe still work. No dice Broken again.
Searched the appstore for a decent packet analyzer and there isn't really anything. I was able to sniff the traffic with my PC and also on my juniper ssg5 confirmed that. Turns out port 80 traffic is actually failing and authorization is not happening. The other clients do not do this...
Asked a buddy from work who used to work at the ISP if he could make a call to some one who might actually know what is going on. He came back pretty quick and said yea they are trying really hard to get the beta patch in from Bluecoat asap.
So knowing that it was actually Netflix that changed when it hit 2.0 and in my case the ISP made the adjustment it's pretty safe to say this issue is going to be ongoing unless netflix changes again the way they authorize for licenses.
So that's the summary of what went right down the troubleshooting path but I'll tell what what didn't
2 calls to Netflix (useless... waste of time... they are too quick to blame anyone but themselves)
1 call to apple support (support call was going to cost more than it cost for me to change ISPs)
2 calls to ISP (through the normal means - regular support number)
So why is this intermittantly working sometimes? If you are lucky enough to authorize to an IP address that is not cached they voila you are going to get an authorization / a license to watch the show. Some people report after defribulating their appletv (reseting, rebooting, dns changes, you name it) they get it working. Over the past month we all seem to have got it working for some period of time only to lose it a day to two later.
It's now been several days since the beta patch to the bluecoat and 4 of us who have been communicating on the issue appear to be online all at the same time for those several days and that is a good sign that we might be out of the woods on the issue.
Hope this turns into something helpful for someone else out there.

Why does my Verizon iPhone 4S Data Service Switch from 3G to 2G as soon as I want to use it for "data-intensive" apps such as Netflix?

I have an iPhone 4S that I purchased new from Verizon back in January 2012. I've started to notice that the 3G data coverage appears and disappears according to whether or not I'm actually using the data. For instance: When the phone is stationary and not using the data, it indicates that I have 3G data coverage. When I click on an app like Netflix (without moving the phone from it's stationary position), data coverage either immediately or soon thereafter switches to a 2G data coverage connection (indicated with an "o" for Verizon). Has anyone else had this same problem? I can't say that this happens everywhere, but in particular, it happens at my work every single time I would like to be able to watch episodes of tv shows on my lunch break.

Yeah I'll need to call and ask because it's very possible that the tower is "congested" as I work in a large city. Hardly seems fair that I would get a diminished data speeds due to congestion of a large city that Verizon indicates it has full coverage on all of their "data coverage" maps. I may have made a different carrier choice had I known that this was going to happen. I wonder if this happens with their 4G towers as well...

I still cannot stream YouTube/Netflix/iPlayer etc. on my iPhone 4 via WiFi since updating to iOS 6.0.1....can anyone please solve this for me??

I posted a couple of days ago about a problem my iPhone 4 was having trying to stream video via WiFi
Basically, since I upgraded to iOS 6.0.1 I cannot stream YouTube videos via the app or via Safari, Netflix will not work nor will services such as BBC iPlayer.
I've also discovered this evening I cannot stream any radio apps either.
All of them will play for 10-30 seconds then stop buffering making them impossible to play.
I was given several pieces of advice including restoring the phone to factory settings, restoring it as a new phone, hard resetting twice in a row, deleting all the cache/data in Safari but nothing that has been suggessted has solved the problem.
I know it is not a problem with my internet/WiFi as I have a laptop and a PC both using it and streaming YouTube/raddio stations etc. with no problem. Also, my girlfriend has a 3GS with the old YouTube player and that works with no problems at all.
Can anyone please help me out as it's getting a bit frustrating not being able to use the streaming function on my iPhone.
One thing that is odd, I have no problem surfing the web on the phone via WiFi or streaming over 3G. It is only a problem when trying to stream video/audio over WiFi.
Thanks.

This is a link to the Apple support page on this issue. Have you tried all of these steps?

Not sure what you mean that you have no signal but are on 3. What are you trying to say?

HT1222 my iphone 4S no longer plays music output to speaker after updating to version 6.1.3. I am unable to reset the phone to an earlier version! How do I get my audio output to speaker back? (music, audible, youtube, netflix))

So you have business contacts that were lost... do you not have these on a Database in some shape or form? Sounds like you need to invest in a RAID1 backup setup for your computer so you dont have this issue in the future.
As for repairing your problem, sounds like you are going to need to start from scratch at this point or if the data is still on your phone look into a program that can take the information from the phone onto iTunes.
