Netflix won't stream higher than 1750 kbps in Safari

After the Yosemite 10.10.3 update, Netflix in Safari will not stream higher than 1750 kbps (which is only 720x480 and barely DVD quality). Previous to the 10.10.3 update, Netflix would stream (HTML5) up to 5800 kbps. As at test, I have streamed the same Netflix video ("Example Short 23.976") multiple times of the day: the attached picture shows that Safari (left) is maxed at 1750 while the Chrome (right) stream is maxed at 3000 kbps. I was unable to find anything mentioned on the Netflix site regarding this problem. The timing of the problem strongly suggests that something changed in Yosemite 10.3.3/Safari 8 which is limiting the stream bitrate.
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
Yosemite 10.10.4
Safari 8.0.5

It's not an Apple/Netfix issue.Iit's an issue between Netfix and your broadnand provider.
Glad to hear it's resolved for you, either way!

ATV won't stream higher than 0.45 with Netflix - other devices ok

This is the biggest nightmare I have ever had with any Apple device. Whether using WiFi, ethernet or directly to the cable modem the highest I get is 0.45MBps sustained.
I had Time Warner come out and completely redo all the cabling, splitter, etc. Today they just ran a dedicated line for the cable modem itself so it no longer shares with the digital phone.
Other devices just on WiFi (iPad, MacBook Pro) get consistently between 3-5MBps download.
I have exchanged the ATV twice already and just did it today. Since there was no difference I then did a full restore. No change.
Help. Please.

Well after another visit from Time Warner and more hassles with Netflix guess what? The newest update fixed everything.
I did another speedtest with a Time Warner Senior tech standing here and the results were the same - .34-.37Mbps He said its the AppleTV although he said they usually work perfectly. This is the 4th ATV.
When he left I did the update that came out on Monday. After applying the update I get between 2.5 - 4.5Mbps
Hopefully it resolved other people's issues as well.

Charger "plugged in, charging" but the battery won't go higher than 0%

Hello there.
I have a HP dv6-2190us laptop which is I think 3 years old.
Yesterday I saw that it powered off and it didn't have any reaction when I pressed the power button on battery. When I plugged in my AC, thinking this could be a battery error, I saw the charge light flash 11 times and then stay on .
With the AC plugged in it booted into Windows 7 and I saw that it says Plugged In, Charging... but it won't go higher than 0%.
When I Unplug the AC it powers off suddenly as it doesn't have any battery remaining.
I checked the battery with the HP utility and it said OK and the battery is 29/300 cycles. So it's too soon for the battery to get damaged.
I've tried all the solutions ( Hard reset using power key, update bios, clear cmos, remove driver and install again, etc. ) but none of them helped me.
Do you guys have any ideas?
P.S.: I have replaced the battery 2 months ago and it's fairly new.

If you are still able to power the notebook with the power adapter and the battery removed, then the battery has problems.
Contact the seller for an RMA.
I hope that you did replace the battery with one that was guaranteed compatible and with a one year warranty.
I have never had one fail that quickly.
Best regards,
erico

Netflix won't stream video

I just set up a new Apple TV unit and can't get netflix to stream. My account is active and I can sign in and see up to date viewing history. It just won't stream when I press play, it will just show the circular shape made up of radial lines moving and this last time "an error occurred loading this content." Message shows up... Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

I guess all it took was me making a post... It's working now!

Radeon Mobility HD 3650 won't go higher than 1440x900; Ext monitor native resolution 1920x1080

I've got a Viewsonic VG2436wm with a native resolution of 1920x1080 hooked up via a KVM switch to the VGA port on my T500.
The ATI Radeon Mobility HD 3650 in my Lenovo T500 will not give me any resolution higher than 1440x900.
I've updated Catalyst to the newest version available from AMD. The Catalyst software recognizes the monitor's highest resolution and refresh rate but lists them as "not supported." It won't let me switch the graphics mode to energy saver; it keeps telling me that I have to turn off 3D rendering and close all programs...except nothing's open.
All Windows 7 updates are installed. And yes, this exact same setup works with the Thinkpad Edge 420 my office issued me.
I'm ready to pull my hair out. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciate.

Netflix won't stream in HD in Mavericks, but will in Parallels

When I try to watch Lost in Netflix in my Mac OS X Mavericks, the HD icon doesn't appear. But when I log in in Parallels and see the same chapter, the icon appears. I used the keyboard shortcut (ctrl+shift+alt+S) to force HD in both, and the max rate that Safari can stream is 1750. But in Windows in Parallels, it can stream at 3000. Is there a way to fix this? I also tried to use Chrome and Firefox instead of Safari, but got the same result. That's why I think it's a Mavericks problem.
I have a MacBook Pro mid 2012, Safari 7.0.5 and Mavericks 10.9.4. In Parallels I use Windows 7 Professional SP1 and Internet Explorer 64 bits. Both with Microsoft Silverlight 5.1 installed, HTML5 activated.
Thanks.
This is Safari, with no HD icon and 1750 max rate.
This is Internet Explorer in Parallels Desktop, with the HD icon and 3000 max rate.

This is the problem I am having with my Brand new MB Pro Retina 13' with 10.9. Closed browser. Deleted silverlite, emptyed trash, reinstalled sillverlite: Works for a while then Same problem

New sound card (E-MU 1212M) won't record higher than 48kHz

I'm running Windows XP Pro/SP2 with a 2.8GHz Pentium 4 processor (motherboard is Elitegroup 848P-A). I have 1GB of RAM installed.
I do a lot of vinyl transfer work. I decided to upgrade sound cards to the E-MU 1212M to improve the overall quality of my audio.
The card install went well. I'm receiving an audio signal just fine. I can playback at 44.1, 48, 96, 192.
The only hitch is when I try to record. I can record at 44.1 & 48 but if I try to record at 96 or 192 I get the following message:"Another application has caused a sample rate change that makes the current session invalid. You may accept this change by loading session at the new sample rate indicated below...." The sample rate that it shows me is always 44.1 So when receiving this message it always wants to push me back to 44.1 This message pops up immediately after I hit the red "record" button.
There are no other audio applications similar to Audition installed on my set up. I have turned off the system sounds, the 1212M card is recognized as the default audio device. The on-board sound card has been disabled along with its drivers. Gone also are the drivers from my previous sound card.
The settings between the 1212M and Audition are following along with each other. If I set the 1212M for 44.1, 48, 96, or 192 and then open up Audition and check the hardware settings, its at whatever I had set the 1212M to.
Ive also gone through what items are being loaded during start-up of my computer. Ive tried disconnecting from the internet and shutting down all programs that might be active, ensuring that no other programs are running other than Au 3 and the 1212M PatchMix panel.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your time.

"Before you did that, did you start a new session at 96k, and it still won't record into it? "
If you're asking if I first start a new session in PatchMix, yes, that's correct. I call up the 96k session in PatchMix first. Then I go and open up Audition to try to record.
If you're asking me if I start a new session in Audition 3 first, then I'm not sure exactly what you mean by that. Remember, I'm new to Au 3. When working in Audition 1.5, I could hit the "record" button and a window would pop up, prompting me to enter a sample rate and bit depth for the audio I'm about to record. I enter what I want to do and press "OK", then Audition starts to record. I don't know if that window is what you're referring to as a "session".
If that is a what you mean by "session" then I would need to do some experimenting by setting PatchMix to 44.1, then open up Audition, hit "record", specify 96/24 in the window that pops up and see what happens. I would hope that I'd get a message from PatchMix that I need to go to set PatchMix for a 96k "session". That's actually a possibility I hadn't previously considered trying. I'm at work now but will look into this possibility after I'm back home & report back.
-DLedin
EDIT: Since my last reading of your message you added a question:"Also, when you set the session up, did you take the check out of the 'use default' box?"
Please specify which application you're referring to when you say "session". PatchMix uses the term quite a lot. If there's a "use default" box somewhere that I need to take a look at then I need to know if it's in Audition 3 or PatchMix and just where to find it. Also, should that "use default" box be checked or unchecked? I appreciate your patience.

Netflix won't stream after software update

I recently completey a software update on my MacBook. Once completed and rebooted I tried streaming a Netflix movie in Safari and the browser locks up. I can navigate in Netflix and select items. Once I select an item to stream the working symbol appears and then freezes or goes dark.
Anyone else experiencing this? Is it possible to remove a recent software update?

I found the solution on another post here on the apple boards - delete and reinstall.
I uninstalled silverlight.
I restarted my computer.
I navigated back to the same Netflix streaming page.
I again chose to download the .dmg file to install (the same) Silverlight.
I installed Silverlight again and restarted my browser.
This time when I tried to stream the same content, it worked just fine.
Hope this will help others.

TS1702 Anyone have a problem with Netflix won't stream vertically

At home page of netflix it will switch horizontal and vertical but streaming a movie it will not stream vertically on ipad2

Be sure to look on the side of your iPad and make sure that the mute switch isn't on. You will know if it is on if it has an orange dot on it. You don't want to see the orange dot. Now double tap your home button and swipe left to see the volume controls. Make sure that the volume control is all the way up. Now go to settings > General > Sounds and make sure that the Ringer and Alerts slider is all the way up. Now try the apps and see if they work. If not and your iPad's audio works on other apps such as Pandora then you need to contact the developers. Look on the BlueWizard author's page in the App Store and see if there are any contact details there. If not then you are out of luck.

Rome Total War won't let me play at resolutions higher than 1024x768

Laptop is a GE70 2PE Apache Pro
Every other game lets me play up to 1920x1080 but for some strange reason RTW won't go higher than 1024x768. And yes I forced the the game to use the Nvidia GPU in the Nvidia Controll panel. And yes I'm in "High Performance Mode." And yes I'm on AC power. And yes it's the Steam version. I've tried everything I can think of, to no avail. Please help.:(:(

Please take a look, bro.

Mac Pro won't stream from Netflix

Mac Pro 2 x 3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon, 9 Gb RAM, OS X 10.6.7. Used to be able to stream Netflix Instant Watch movies up to about a year ago, when I got an iPad and switched to watching Netflix stuff on that. But yesterday I tried it on the Mac Pro again and a message informed me "Our apologies -- instant watching is not supported on your operating system." I use Safari 5.0.5 and meet all the other Netflix requirements for streaming on a Mac.
On a separate internal hard drive of my Mac Pro, I have OS x 10.5.8 and Safari 5.0.5, and am still able to stream Netflix movies fine if I boot up in that. But I can't steam them when booted into 10.6.7 for some reason. Any ideas?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Netflix won't work on Apple TV anymore

Hi there - bought my Apple TV a few months ago and signed up for Netflix over 30 days ago. Everything worked fine.
Now everytime I try to start Netflix I receive an error message "We're unable to connect you to Netflix. Please try again later (ATV-ui113)
Any idea?

I also have the same issue and I have done all that restarting, resetting, unplugging everything. In my case none of that stuff works. I have the latest software. It is connected wired to ethernet port from the router because I gave up trying to make it work with Wi-Fi. There is no connection problem! Everything connects just fine. Even when I connect to the Wi-Fi network. It simply won't stream Netflix. I get sound but the picture either goes black or freezes. Apple!! Make the **** thing work with something other than iTunes Store and don't make us buy your overpriced router (Airport Express or Extreme). I'm betting I can go out and buy a Rocu right now and it would work just fine.

How can I get recordings that are less than 96 kbps onto my iPhone if I am using iTunes Match?

I am using iTunes Match but it won't upload any files that are recorded at less than 96 kbps. I have recordings from several classes that I am taking online that I need to listen to on my iPad and iPhone. How can I get them on my devices? Do I just have to turn Match off and do it manually like before? Or is there a way to change the recording level in GarageBand?

I found the answer. Just double click on the recording in iTunes and select Create AAC Version. Then select Update iTunes Match under the Store tab. The recordings will now show up and play on your other devices.

Line rate is higher than attainable rate!

I've been on Infinity for 3 or 4 months now and have had consistently a BT profile of 72.3 to 72.86Mbps, the changes occuring after modem resets or power cycles. Attainable rate (via the standard modem hack) has been 75272 to 76184kbps. Line rate has been 500 to 900 kbps below the attainable rate.
A few days ago we had a major power cut in the local area including here, lasting for several hours and afterwards, everything worked as normal. Just now I decided to check my BT profile and modem stats, just out of interest, as you do. The results are interesting - my profile has gone up to 75.73/20.00 and the modem stats are what I thought was impossible - line rate is much higher than the attainable rate! Stats are below.
Line is stable and needless to say I am delighted - I am now getting speedtest d/l results 3Mbps higher than ever before (74Mbps), but can anyone explain how line rate can be above attainable rate?
Mode    VDSL2
Traffic type    PTM

HEC errors             2182    0

You must have a good line and probably have the cabinet in your front room!
Who knows! I wouldn't say it would be impossible to hit pass your attainable rate, i would only take these as estimates as much as everything else.
It was like when i was on copper, thinking my line could only sync at 4MB, but constantly synced at around 6.5-7MB which was good for me! lol!

Why can't I get an update higher than OS X 10.6.8?

I am new to this whole thing but... Why won't my computer update past/higher than 10.6.8 (I ran the software update and it said I'm up to date)? I need at least 10.7 for an application I'd like to download...

Which model MacBook Pro do you have? 10.6.8 is the last version of Snow Leopard - you would have to purchase Lion or Mountain Lion but, if your machine will support Mavericks (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842), you can update to that free.
Purchasing Lion or Mountain Lion requires a call to Apple - you can't buy it directly from the Mac App Store.
