Netflix streaming blocked, is there a workaround?

I just upgrade from a Gen 1 iPad to a new iPad Air2.
On the Gen 1 I was able to stream Netflix during lunch with the netflix app. Other folks around me on this same network no longer could on their PCs or iPhones.
Bring the brand new Air to work today, app launches but cannot stream no error just loads and loads.
Apparently there are 'aliens' that are blocking streaming because they are anti enjoying downtime when you have a break.
I relize that there must be something either with the tech of the old ipad or the older version of the app that was sneaking through the aliens survalence.
Does anyone know what the difference might be, would it be something within the app version that they changed perhaps a protocol being using? I tried to search but either it was not useful or about using VPNs.
Or is the new iPad Air itself using newer technology and getting captured?
This is all on WiFi
Just wondering if there is any change I can make (not setting up VPN bc that will probably be flagged) or download an old version of the app to possibly be able to enjoy Netflix at lunch again.
Happy Holidays!
Thank you
Mackitten

What you'd have to do is this:
1) Trash the Netflix app that's in iTunes
2) Connect the old iPad to the computer
3) Right-click on its icon in the sidebar & choose Transfer Purchases
That should bring the old Netflix app into your iTunes library. You could then delete the current version that's on your new iPad & install this older one.
You can usually install an old version of an iPad app onto a newer iPad, it's just the reverse that's not doable.

  • I notice my fan whirs fast during streaming video; is there a workaround?

    My fan gets up there (I am thinking it's in the 5000s RPMs, if I remember my reading correctly) when I'm playing streaming video (on netflix, using Silverlight). I get no fan noise when playing downloaded video (like an .mov) in Quicktime or MPlayer.
    I have tried elevating my laptop so that the center part of it is totally free. The fans still go.
    I am wondering if this is an issue with Firefox in some way. Are other browsers better at streaming video?
    The sound may be necessary, but it is slightly annoying. And I notice I am getting slightly annoyed with it.
    Misha

    Are you both running Mountain Lion?
    I get the impression that my mac runs hotter when watching any video (streamed or not) since installing ML than it did uner Snow Leopard, but I haven't confirmed this with any solid empirical testing (perhaps I'm just more sensitive to what's going on under the hood now than I was before).

  • How can I get netflix streaming audio, the video is fine but the audio coming through is from the TV(dish)

    how can I get netflix streaming audio, the video is fine but the audio coming through is from the TV(dish)

    It's exactly as I stated. Whenever I try to drag these kinds of loops (ESX24 / software instrument loops? the ones marked in green with the white music note next to them) from the loop browser into the timeline a message comes up saying Audio Not Found for that loop.  And a new track is created automatically when loops are dragged into the timeline, so I'm not creating some other random / synth instrument track so I'm not sure  what the deal is... But perhaps I'll try creating a software instrument track first and then drag the loop into that track and see what happens - maybe there's something with the default settings that automatically creates audio tracks whenever loops are imported?

  • I have an early apple tv. Will it support netflix streaming? Also what is the size of the newest apple tv's hard drive? And, will my current apple tv be able to use the icloud services?

    I have an early apple tv. Will it support netflix streaming? Netflix does not show on the internet tab on the AppleTV display.
    Will my current appletv connect to icloud services, synch, etc.?
    Also, what is the size of the current appleTV's hard drive?

    1. No to NetFlix and ATV1
    2. If you mean your ATV1, no.
    3. If you mean your ATV1, there are more than one hard drive size.  If you mean the new ATV2, it doesn't have a hard drive.

  • Why would Lightroom video capabilities/iTunes import/Netflix streaming/Photoshop all stop working at once?

    Hi forum --
    Several programs all stopped working at the same time and will only work (briefly) right after I've restarted my computer including:
    - iTunes audio cd importing
    - Lightroom video importing and playback
    Netflix streaming (on both Safari and Chrome) won't work and Photoshop (CS4) won't open at all.
    Videos work without a problem in: Quicktime, iMovie, Final Cut Pro, and Bridge CS4 and CS6.  YouTube also works without a problem.
    Maybe the problems are conincidence, but this seems like it is posisbly a software problem with my computer, not my programs.
    I have tried reinstalling Ligthroom and resetting the preferences files but they don't help.
    The only things that I can think of that happened is that I:
    1. downloaded my own videos from my own YouTube acocunt after my external hard drive failed and maybe there was a virus?
    2. I deleted some programs with "Clean My Mac 2" and maybe it deleted some crucial file someplace?
    I am running a 2009 13" MacBook Pro with a 2.53 Ghz processor and 4 GB RAM and Mountain Lion (everything is up to date).
    Thank you for any suggestions!

    I had problems with streaming until I changed the WiFi channel that I was using.  The original one conflicted with my neighbor.  After that, MOST of my streaming problems vanished.  Occasionally, a movie would pause for more buffering and I eventually ran an ethernet cable from the Apple TV to my Apple Extreme (to eliminate the Wifi).  I have not had a single problem since then (except to repair the drywall after running the ethernet from one floor to another).  :-)

  • I get choppy video on netflix streaming online

    how can i fix choppy video on netflix streaming online

    What version Mini do you have?  How much RAM?
    What is your internet connection and speed?
    Not knowing that, first I would say insure that you have
    the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight installed.  Next,
    do you have any other apps running at the same time?
    Which browser are you using?  Also, is this all the time
    or occasionallly?
    I have a 2010 Mini (Mountain Lion installed) that I use as an
    HTPC.  Most of the time, I have no real issues with the video
    from Netflix.  There are occasions when video is pretty choopy. 
    However, I can view the same program at a later date and it plays
    fine.  Sometimes the problem can be at the Netflix end or with the
    connection.

  • Netflix Streaming quality degraded over last few months in Plano, Tx?

    The last couple of months I've been getting horrible connections in Netflix streaming to my Xbox360. Prior to that I would always get a 5 bar connection, but over the past couple of months I've been luck to get 3 bars. Many times the stream will stutter out and not be able to continue playing, causing a reconnection and really interrupting the viewing. I haven't changed anything in my setup and I have my Xbox360 hard wired to my router, so I have no idea what could be going wrong. I have the 25/15 service, but all the speed tests I've done have not gotten any higher than 14/14, and often are more like 8/10. Is there anything going on with Verizon's connections in TX? 

    To summarize Verizon's statement: paying Verizon customers are demanding lots of data from Cogent (i.e. streaming lots of Netflix movies). This is requiring Cogent to pump a large volume of traffic to Verizon's network because paying Verizon customers are requesting it.
    In turn Verizon is now demanding more cash from Cogent because Verizon paying customers are requesting that traffic. The end result is Verizon looking to make more cash off of their own customers' activities and/or using it as an excuse to quietly degrade the Netflix experience (but hey, they conveinently have their own Redbox Instant streaming service that I'm sure they would love you to subscribe to. It probably doesn't suffer from this problem either).
    In reality, Verizon should:
    1) Realize that this is on them and they are not providing the quality level of service that their customers are paying for.
    2) Join Netflix's (free) Open Connect. This would both significantly reduce the congestion AND provide even higher quality Netflix service. (Hint: Your paying customers would love you if you did this, Verizon)

  • New Apple TV and Netflix streaming

    Hi,
    I have an "legacy" Apple TV running with iTunes 8.x
    and am interested in getting the new Apple TV to give me
    Netflix streaming access. (So I would have 2 Apple TVs
    running in my media room).
    So, question is -- do I need to upgrade iTunes to v10
    to get Netflix streaming support on the new Apple TV?
    Or do I need iTunes10 for the new Apple TV, regardless?
    I've been hesitant to upgrade iTunes as I have had problems
    with upgrades in the past (playlists disappearing, AppleTV disappearing,
    etc.) I have also seen several postings with people having
    issues with legacy Apple TV when upgrading to iTunes 10.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Winston, you seem to be very knowledgable in the tv arena.
    Maybe you can help me. My tv stopped connecting or is failing to connect to the itunes store. This occurred yesterday, for no apparent reason. There was absolutely no changes done on my end. I did query apple in regard to a movie that I rented that never appeared, but that was it.
    All connectivity is working fine, I can podcast, listen to music, watch previews etc., I just cannot rent or download a movie, as it cannot connect to itunes store. I have deauthorised and reauthorised via itunes 10, and all seems OK, I can sync between itunes and my existing tv, but can no longer download movies or TV shows, as it seems to fail on handshake or authority or something...
    Any leads would be greatly appreciated, as I have rented two movies, which I have been billed for, and they have been downloaded, just can't watch them...
    Thanks,
    Michael.

  • Apple TV Netflix Streaming & Other errors

    Okay So I got Apple TV for Christmas. But Ive been experiencing very frustrating and upsetting problems. The following problems are very CRITICAL.
    1. NETFLIX STREAMING
    One of the featured abilities of Apple TV was Netflix Streaming. At first I loved using it, but then I started noticing problems. Half the time I played a netflix video... the video would pause and buffer every few seconds. Time after Time I have to deal with this. And its not my internet connection, because my PS3 can stream Netflix no problem. This is the MOST FRUSTRATING THING ABOUT APPLE TV. A Deal Breaker. I use my PS3 now for Netflix, because I refuse to watch a movie or tv show and have to deal with pausing every few seconds. It ruins watching the show. YOU NEED TO FIX THIS ASAP!
    2. Error Cannot Connect To Netflix
    Why is it one of the flagship features of Netflix has such a terminal error. Every week or so I have to disconnect (only found out this solution by googling this problem on the net otherwise I would of never found out how to fix Netflix on Apple TV) Apple TV, wait 10 - 15 seconds, reconnect, wait for it to load, and hope I dont get that ' Cannot Connect to Netflix Error". People say it may be netflix but its not. Apple TV cant access Netflix but yet my PS3, iPad, and iPhone can. Apple Please fix this.
    THESE 2 PROBLEMS NEED TO BE FIXED ASAP. THEY HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTH WITH NOT A PATCH TO FIX IT. I didnt get Google TV, Boxee, etc. because I wanted Apple TV. Please dont make me regret my choice.
    And the following are secondary concerns:
    1. Please allow us to access our Youtube Subscriptions and Favorites faster on Apple TV.
    Everytime I select Youtube to watch my subscriptions and favorites ... I have to go through menus to do so. Can they not pop up as soon as Select Youtube. My accounts already on there just let it pop up on the first menu.
    2. Apps. Please include apps for Apple TV.
    Apps where we can access Hulu, do skype chats, allow for keyboard integration. Allow us to do more with it.
    Apple please fix these errors otherwise I have to stop recommending Apple TV and become a Detractor of the product and its support.

    To Apple and Netflix,
    I have recently purchased 2 Apple TV devices and a Roku XDS and subscribed to Netflix.
    The problem I'm having, along with many others in the various forums, is that Netflix is accessed and "Suggestions" and "Previously Viewed" items show up but when I attempt to play a selected item I get a message on screen showing "error 112" and no streaming occurs.
    The ATV refers customers to Netflix and Netflix refers customers back to Apple. Which of course isn't a fruitful solution.
    Having no email contact for Netflix isn't helpful either. After contacting them on the phone they would not generate a ticket number and would not log my complaint as the system can't record referrals to Apple. They also do not have employee identifiers so you only get a first name of the service representative, I can only assume Netflix wants no record of customer complaints and wants to wear you down by waiting on the phone. Apple support is almost as daunting. You better have your serial number handy or you are going nowhere. So if you are at work and trying to contact support… Good luck.
    My equipment:
    Zoom DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem
    Airport Extreme 802.11n
    Charter HSI Plus 2Mbps Up / 20Mbps Down
    2 ea. Apple TV 2nd gen
    1 ea. Roku XDS
    As a veteran film and TV post production engineer in Burbank, CA, I am a methodical trouble shooter and well versed in negotiating software and hardware from diverse products. I quickly determine my internet connection is solid and bandwidth is adequate (typically between 20 to 30Mbps and in the later hours up to 75Mbps). I check that other streaming channels on that device are functioning properly such as "Radio" and "YouTube". I can stream Netflix from the Roku. I can even stream Netflix from my second Apple TV device. But the other Apple TV continues to exhibit the same symptom "error 112". I can usually get around the problem with a couple of hard reboots of the Apple TV, but not always. The problem is not confined to one ATV, either device may exhibit "error112".
    I will also be posting this open letter on Amazon and Facebook and hope to post your response and solution as well.

  • Airport Extreme and Cisco DPC3008 terrible Netflix Streaming

    I have an Airport Extreme Base Station, Originally released June 2011, and a Cisco DPC3008 modem on Charter. 
    My problem is that with my Airport Extreme hooked up directly to my modem according to a Netflix Tech there servers are only seeing about a 1.5 Mbs connection and the Netflix quality is terrible.  When I take the Airport out of the equation and connect directly to the Modem everything streams great and is in crystal clear HD.
    I purchased a Linksys E1200 to test with and with that hooked up to the modem instead of the Airport Extreme Netflix streams perfect also.  So for some reason with the Airport Extreme my Netfilx quality is terrible but with other routers it is fine.
    I have a 30 Mb connection and all other services work fine with the Airport Extreme hooked up.  I tested Hulu, HBO Go, and WatchESPN and they are fine.  Only Netfilx has the issue with the Airport Exterme.
    Here is a link from DSL Reports with a person that has the same problem...
    http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r28578294-Speed-Issues-airport-extreme-Cisco-DPC 3008
    Anybody have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Just an update. I had my Airport Exterme unplugged all night. Plugged it in and did a factory reset, restored it to firmware version 7.5.2 and then updated each version up to the newest on it and now everything is working great. I am going to give it a few days and see what happens. Maybe something on the Airport Extreme got screwed up and being off all night reset it. Got me.

  • Netflix streaming works on my PC but not on my new Apple TV. Any help?

    My Netflix (from Chile) account allows me to see movies on my PC (windows) but not on my new Apple TV.
    This message (in Spanish) apears when I try to stream a movie:
    " Your device must be updated to see instant streams from Netflix. Visit the device web site or netflix.com/NRD  "
    Is there a way to use my Apple TV with Netflix ?
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You'll need to wait until Netflix is enabled for the Apple TV in your location, I've heard that it may be the end of the year.

  • In Pages 5.5.1 when I go to the Open menu I cannot get a preview of any of the files in the list using the spacebar, which I can do in every other application and finder. Is there a workaround?

    In all other applications and in the finder, if I select a document and press the spacebar I get a quickview preview of that file. It does not work in Pages when I choose Open and am given a list of files to select from. This was not the case in older versions of Pages. Is there a workaround, other than doing quickview in the Finder before going to Pages.

    On Yosemite, Pages documents that are in a package (folder) format are viewable with Quick Look in the Pages v5.5.1 file chooser. Pages documents that are in the Single File (compressed, renamed folder) format are viewable in diminished size with Quick Look. Other documents that can be opened in the version(s) of Pages on your Mac will also open properly in Quick Look from the file chooser.

  • MS Word 2010 product not compatible with Mozilla? Is there a workaround?

    I just purchased MS Office Home and Student 2010. I got an error message that says I do not have a compatible operating system. Is there a workaround if I only use Mozilla Firefox?

    This is apparently not a Firefox related problem. The MS Office 10 setup program doesn't see your computer as having a compatible version of Windows. If you are running Windows XP, you need to have service pack 3 installed. If you are running Vista, you need at least service pack 1.

  • How to over write VBBE data when Delivery is created if at the time of SO creation stock blocking is there

    Hi,
    I want to know how to over write VBBE data after delivery creation if stock blocking is there at the time of SO creation.
    That means I want my confirmed delivery quantity to over write the SO quantity in VBBE table after delivery creation. Please help me with your valuable suggestions...
    Thanks

    Hi Tanmoy,
    This should happen automatically. The VBBE entry should reflect the quantity of the delivery requirement. Is it possible for you to post screenshots illustrating exactly what is happening on your system?
