Netflix on iPod Touch

Netflix became available today for iPod Touch. However, I can't get it to install on my Touch. I have 4.0.2 installed, apps checked to sync, and the Netflix app installed in iTunes and appearing to sync. But, it won't transfer over. I even tried to download directly to the device via the App Store. No luck. Anyone else having this problem?

Found my problem!!! I had Restrictions set to limit Apps to those appropriate for ages 9+ (my kids). I reluctantly changed it to 12+ and Netflix magically appeared! Yay!

  • Can I get an older version of Netflix on my ipod touch 2nd generation?

    I had netflix on my ipod before but i had to delete itunes to update my computer......along with itunes my version of netflix (2.2.1) was deleted. My ipod was also restored because "it was synced to another itunes library". Itunes was recently updated and it now requries ios5, which my2nd generation ipod touch cannot get. It is running on 4.2.1 now. I was wondering if there was anyway that I could get an older version of netflix through apple, so it can be on my ipod once again!

    You should always maintain a backup copy of your computer and should certainly make sure that you have backed up before updating your computer or any other software.
    If you failed to do this, then there is no way to get an older version.
    Sorry.

    You cannot.  This is not a feature of the Netflix app as provided by illaass.

  • Streaming Netflix from an Ipod Touch to a TV

    I want to stream Netflix from my iPod touch 2G via composite av cable to a TV and it isn't working. I can stream music videos so I know the av cable is good and I tried changing the video settings. Any suggestions? I already have an Apple TV but I want to be able to stream this to a different TV.

    I believe the Netflix app prevents video output from i-devices. Not all apps can output video, and in this case it may be a film distribution requirement that Netflix needs to comply with, silly as that may sound since you can stream Netflix from ATV.

  • Netflix iPod Touch 1 st Gen Can't Download The App!!!!!

    I bought 2 iPod Touch 1 st Generation products back in November of 2011 for chirstmas presents. I downloaded Netflix to these devices and it worked great! Then on christmas morning kids opened the devices and started using them and the devices said netflix required an update! After the update the netflix app stoped working and when I deleted it and tried to redownload it no dice! The app now says requires ios 4.0!
    - Apple you should look at getting a form of 4.0 for 1 st gen iPod Touch
    - Netflix you should definatly develop an app that works on 3.1.3 if Apple maintains devices that can't update to versions of ios past 3.1.3 then Netflix you need an app that works on these devices!

    Apple you should look at getting a form of 4.0 for 1 st gen iPod Touch
    Not going to happen, not for a device that Apple discontinued well over three years ago. It's probable that the hardware in the first-gen iPod touch can't support the newer OS, though I can't say with any certainty. The chances of Apple providing such a version, though, even if the hardware could, is nil.
    Netflix you should definatly develop an app that works on 3.1.3 if Apple maintains devices that can't update to versions of ios past 3.1.3 then Netflix you need an app that works on these devices!
    It's highly doubtful that Netflix would read a post made here. You can submit comments to them via their own contacts:

  • HT1222 Can I update my Old iPod touch 4.2.1 version to the IOS 5 or 6? It says i have the current version but I can't get my apps ...such as Netflix

    I'm trying to get the iOS 5 or 6 update to my ipod touch version 4.2.1
    My ipod says it's up to date but I can't get my netflix app to load becuse it says I need the iOS 5 software
    Does this mean that my Ipod touch is no longer any good???
    Any help is appreciated, thanks!
    Candice

    I used to be able to get Netflix and other apps on my ipod but since they have been upgraded to ios 5 + I can no longer get them. "
    You updated your Netflix app without seeing if the new version was compatible with your ios version. Had you not updated, then you could still be using it.
    " So I gather by your response and other similar questions/answers that I am out of luck now."
    Yes.
    Sorry

  • Does Netflix support the apple tv outside of the US and Canada. I can stream Netflix on my ipod touch in the Caribbean but wondered if the apple tv would be supported.

    Netflix became available in the Caribbean and Latin America recently and I can stream it on my Ipod touch . I recently had a bad experience with a blu-ray player while trying to stream Netflix. I got a message saying Netflix only supports newer versions of this device outside of the United States and Canada. I wanted to make sure this is not the case with the apple tv before purchasing. Does anyone know for sure if Netflix supports the apple TV outside of the US and Canada?

    "I got a message saying Netflix only supports newer versions of this device outside of the United States and Canada"
    sounds like an error msg that the firmware of your blueray player is required for compatability

  • Streaming Netflix app on an older iPod Touch?

    Hi all you iPod gurus,
    I've got an iPod Touch 2g running iOS 4.2.1.  I've been running the Netflix streaming app without major issues for a couple of years (version 1.4.0, build 930547).  In the last couple of weeks, it has just quit working.  I open the app and it goes to a gray screen after a few seconds.  I've deleted the app and restored it from a backup version, I've restored the entire iPod.  No change.  Any suggestions?  Has anyone had a similar issue? 
    Some additional information:  I tried the same version of the Netflix app on my son's newer iPod Touch with the same result.  Then I updated the app on that iPod to the latest version and that newer version worked fine.  This leads me to believe that the problem could be an issue between the older version of the app and the Netflix servers.  But updating the app is not an option for me; the newest Netflix app requires iOS 5, which my iPod does not support.  I'm a little bit frustrated, and I'm wondering if it's just my iPod or a more general issue.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Even a simple, "I've got an iPod Touch 2g and my Netflix app runs fine" would be helpful.  Thanks much.
    Steve

    Devground,
    I have a second gen ipod touch with ios 4.2.1 and am able to watch netflix (version 2.2.1, 9/21/12, 8.3 MB) on it as of today, December 1, 2012. I don't know if it's stable, but it's running right now. I recently had difficulties with the app when I tried to upgrade to the version that requires ios 5. Though I hadn't used it in a while, so I don't know if it was the attempted upgrade that caused my trouble.
    I also don't know what ultimately fixed my problem and don't recall exact symptoms as it took a while to troubleshoot (slow os on this hardware) and attempted many things. However, I made sure that if I even had the new Netflix app that it did not overwrite the 2.2.1 version in itunes. I backed up 2.2.1 just in case.
    Then, I deleted the old version from the ipod and reloaded it through itunes. It took a couple of times of doing this, disconnecting and power cycling the ipod before i was able to successfully login again.
    Not sure what even did it in the end. After doing all the uncertain steps above and all but giving up, I read lllaass's comment on another post that suggested syncing, which I did after the uncertain steps above, and it finally worked. Unfortunately, I can't really answer specific questions on the method I used, but I'm sure that other 2nd gen users can confirm that they are also still able to use Netflix on their touch.
    I hope this makes some sense - sorry it's so vague on details.
    Good luck. And thanks lllaass, I guess!

  • Netflix app for ipod touch not working - gray screen

    I downloaded the netflix app today, but when I open the program it loads the netflix welcome screen then the screen goes gray and nothing happens. How do I get netflix to work on my 2nd generation ipod touch? I am running iOS4.

    A friend from work came up with this, but I forgot to ask him how he came across it. I think his Ipad was working then stopped and he didn't change anything and figured out the time was off.
    If most people are having a time issue it makes sense that mostly ipod touchs' are affected, since the iphone should sync its time via cellular magic and the touchs' don't do this.
    I guess the netflix app is doing some sort of authentication and the time being off causes it issues.
    Glad someone found this information to be useful, pass it along.

  • Can I run the Netflix app on a 1st generation Ipod Touch running 3.1.3?

    I have a 1st generation ipod touch running ios 3.1.3. I want to run netflix on it but when I try to install from itunes I get the message "The app "Netflix" was not installed on the IPOD because it requires a newer version of IPOD software." I have read from goggling this issue that netflix streaming on the 1st gen ipod is possible. What am I doing wrong? Or is this not possible at all?

    "The "reason" that Netflix will not work with iOS 3.1.3 is because Netflix does so much that iOS 3.1.3 cannot handle it. SImple."
    This is untrue, as was stated earlier:
    I was running netflix on an itouch first generation ios 3.1.3 untill the glich with the app store.  The newest update will not run on it now and I lost the original version when I reset the Itouch thinking the problem was on my end.
    If you had said it's "incompatible" instead of "cannot handle it" or specified the version of the Netflix, perhaps the new Netflix app is so incredible, or rather it "does so much" MORE, you might be within the realm of having some useful input, but the following:
    It would appear so!
    leads me to understand you don't know what you're talking about or you're a wannabe company man and just lying.
    If anyone else has useful information regarding running the Netflix app that certainly worked for us Netflix subscribers who are also 1g owners–and there are at least thousands, if not tens of thousands–and were using the app before we upgraded to 3.1.3 or restored and downloaded the latest Netflix app, it'd be great to hear from them.  1. 2. 3. SImple.

  • I have new ipod touch 8gb and I downloaded the netflix app and it won't work

    I downloaded the netflix app and it won't show up, when I search for it in the app store it says its installed. It won't let me uninstall it. Maybe It will I just don't know how. This is my first time ever using an Ipod. Help.

  • HT4972 previously used apps won't work after system restore?ipod touch 2nd gen.?

    My son forgot his passcode so I had to restore his ipod touch, 2nd gen.  After the restore, many of his apps no longer work.  He had Netflix, Facebook, Angry Birds.  They now all say they require ios 4.3 or 5.0.  Does anyone know how to get these apps back on his ipod?  thanks!

    Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • New iPod touch - How to make it a Palm Pilot

    OK. My new iPod Touch (16GB) is on order (ordered on day 1) - I have my Mobile Me account up and running and my iCal and my Mail accounts are synced.
    My reason for buying the new iPod touch is to replace my Palm Pilot (Tungsten E). I was able to export/import 6 years worth of Palm data to iCal – now I need to be able to use iCal on the iPod touch to see/edit my daily schedules on the road – and to sync and see them on several Macs at home and in the studio.
    I just watched the new Apple video about the new iPod touch – and, frankly, it came across as a 1) a teen-age game machine, 2) a movie player, and 3) a music box. Nothing in the video promo spoke to iCal on a Touch – or using the iPod touch as a business tool – other than Safari and email.
    There are a million new apps available, but I don’t have time to test them all. This is what I need:
    1) A iPod Touch version of Docs To Go. I want to make a document (file- text –letter) on my Mac (in Word, for example) – and then download it to the touch to read (and edit) on the road – and then re-sync changes made on the Touch with Mobile Me and my Macs.
    2) To Do lists that sync between Mobile Me – my Macs and the Touch – with the ability to make/edit the To Do from the Mac or the Touch.
    3) Search capability to find events, To-Dos, and documents (such as a letter) in the iPod Touch. That is a great feature of the Palm Pilot – I can see when I was last in a city with a simple search – or find a calendar entry with a customer’s name – even from several years ago.
    And:
    4) a Forum that addresses how to use the iPod Touch as a business tool – rather than as a game/music/video machine – essentially how to replace a BlackBerry or a Palm Pilot with and iPod Touch.
    I have ZERO AT&T coverage where I live and work – so the iPhone is a no go for me. I will keep my Verizon cell phone and get rid of the Palm Pilot – if I can make the Touch behave as a tool rather than as a toy.
    So – What APPS should I get ready to use?

    Hi,
    I have done the transition from a Palm Treo to the iPod Touch. As has been said the Apps are not as mature as with the Palm. You do need to be creative. I went with OmniFocus, both the ipod app and the desktop app. The desktop app will sync with iCal but I feel it should be the master. Not the cheapest route but very solid.
    Direct MS Word compatibility I haven't seen yet. It will be there I am sure. The Notes app works fine for writing and you can email notes to yourself and copy the text out to what ever program you choose. No cut Copy Paste yet either so real word processing is not a reality. Docs to Go was pretty good.
    There is CSV touch that will load any CSV file. Excel sheets. Also the idb Datamaster pro. Worth looking at. It is a database system that can import and export again in csv.
    I have PocketMoney to record financials. It will sync through QIF files with Quicken. I say sync but it really just imports and exports QIF files. Takes some creative handleing not to end up with duplictae transactions. I figured out a work around and it saves keeping the paper around till I get to my computer.
    File Magnet is really great. Drag anything to it and it will be loaded for viewing ( only) on the Touch.
    The sync with iCal, Email and Contacts is excellent. I use this system daily for all my appointments and work schedules.
    I don't bother with the games but it is cool to listen to music in the car with one device.
    Having real internet in your hand instead of the klunky Treo browser is so much better. Safari is functional enough to do my online banking.
    iFlix is really functional for Netflix. My Weather for weather forcast. Gives local animated radar.
    So.. It is a new platform. It will have growing pains but it is functional and innovative.
    Browse the App Store. Most are cheap enough that you can try without costing too much. The reviews are mostly helpful if you weed through the jokers.
    I carry mine all the time. It finds internet all over without me doing anything. Battery life is acceptable for the most part. Just listening to music it lasts plenty long. Wifi and constant browsing or apps will run it down quicker. Consider that like watching a video. I use it in my car with a TransPod FM adapter. It charges the battery while it is playing. Works out fine that way. I get a full day of use and then the night always on without any worries. The ride to work charges it up enough.
    Hope this helps. I love mine.

  • 3rd generation iPod touch syncing issues

    The last time I tried to sync my iTunes account through a wired connection between my Macbook Pro and 3rd generation iPod touch, I had some major issues.
    First: It deleted the YouTube, iBooks, Netflix, Dropbox, Facebook, and Kindle apps from my iPod and will not let me reinstall them because they are "not compatible with this iPod." This is really annoying.  It means I can never sync my computer with my iPod again.  The only way I can get those apps on my iPod is if I go to the store in the iPod and download each one individually.
    Second: Some songs that I have recently acquired will not sync with my iPod because they are not the right format or something.  I never had issues with this before.  This song is in the same format as some songs I aready have on the iPod.
    Solutions I have tried:  I tried reinstalling iTunes and it didn't help.  I tried reseting my iPod to factory settings and starting with a "new iPod," twice.  This did not help either.
    My Question: Is this an issue because my iPod is out of date and means that I am just SOL or can it be fixed?

    The shuffle and iPod touch use different drivers.
    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

  • How to put old apps on my ipod touch?

    I am so irritated!
    I kept getting the same error message when trying to download apps, that I needed to upgrade my operating system.
    I just want to get Netflix, Hulu, and Google Chrome on my ipod touch.
    I previously had Netflix and Google, before I restored it.
    There was no message that said I would not be able to put the apps that were previously working, back on my ipod touch.
    An IT person at Netflix said I should look on my computer to see if some of the memory on my ipod got saved on the computer.
    How can I do this?
    How do I make my expensive Apple product, that is not that old, work?
    Even though Apple is going to lose it's customers as they all begin to run into this problem.  Stupid Apple. I will never by another one again!!!
    Sorry if this is not greatly explained. I am not a horribly tech savvy person. Mine is an "MC" model.

    As I said, please tell us what you can buy in electronics where you will not run into the same problem?
    If you do go the Android route (Android and upgrade do not go well together at all) be sure that you buy an external drive and BACKUP YOUR DATA, MUSIC, VIDEO, and ALL OF YOUR APPS. You will eventually run into the same problem and you want to make sure you have access to older versions of the app. The Android world is more wide open and you may be able to find older versions somewhere on the net and be able to download it but because that world is wide open you then take a risk of putting malware on your device.
