I have a dsl internet conection with a download speed of .66 mbps. I would like to watch netflix with a wireless conection to apple tv. What is the required internet speed?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Netflix recommend a minimum connection speed of 0.5 Mbps, however at that speed many of the other features of the Apple TV will be painfully slow.

I'm having trouble navigating Netflix with my Apple TV remote.

Has anyone had trouble finding/selecting categories in Netflix or trouble not receiving your selected movies?

Does it matter?
How exactly would that help with the issue that is occurring?

I am having trouble watching Netflix and I was told to ask Firefox to help

I installed Microsoft Silverlight to watch a show on Netflix, but it is not working. Someone at Netflix told me to contact Microsoft to help, and then someone at Microsoft told me to contact Firefox.

Is anyone having trouble playing movies they purchased? I have no issue watching netflix or previews but I can't watch what I already purchased.

A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
Also check your payment details, make sure your details are exactly how they appear on your credit card statement, you might also try changing some of those details, saving them and changing them back again.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.
At this point in time, I’m wondering if this could be related to (but not restricted to) the new feature that allows others to come into your home and use your Apple TV to download and play their content on your Apple TV without logging into their account on your Apple TV. The Terms of Use for iTunes Store content have always been to require you to only purchase and play the content from the store in the location where you live and to use a credit card registered in that location. Previously Apple seem to have been somewhat lenient on enforcing such restrictions, perhaps now they are not. However I don’t really have any evidence to support this suggestion, except that changes made to accounts in these areas do appear to be helping many.
If you are successful in resolving your problem, perhaps you would let us know exactly which action resolved the problem for you. If you are having this problem to begin with, can you also tell us your location.

Trouble watching videos shot with iPhone 4s

I'm having trouble watching videos I have made with my iPhone 4S. I have the newest Apple TV and when I try to watch a video it takes forever to get started. a 25 second video buffers for almost one minute before playing, a video that is 1 min. 30 sec. takes a very long time to play. I can stream you tube and other videos with minimal buffering before play.
anyone else having this problem?

I don't have the 4s , but I believe you can shoot in 720p which will allow it to play much quicker on the Apple TV, but will be of lower quality on higher spec devices such as your computer. The other alternative is to transfer it to a computer and convert it and put the export into iTunes (keep 2 copies, so to speak)

What cable do I need to connect my Macbook to my tv to watch netflix, What cable do I need to connect my Macbook to my tv to watch netflix

I would like to link my MacBook up with my HD tv to watch netflix, for example. How do I do this?

The model 5,2 has a Mini-DVI port. You'll need a Mini-DVI adapter and a cable from that to your TV Here's the various types of Mini-DVI adapters on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_16?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field -keywords=mini-dvi+to+hdmi&sprefix=mini-dvi+to+hdmi%2Ccomputers%2C287
When you connect the MacBook using a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo system for audio if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI. If you do have an audio input for one of the HDMI plugs on your TV you run an audio cord from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate input plugs on your TV

What cable do i need to watch netflix from my ipad to the tvv

What cable do i need to watch netflix from my ipad to the tvv

Netflix does support video out. The type of cable depends on your TV. I have used the composite cable and the HDMI adapter with an HDMI cable. Both of these cables work great. There is an AV cable, but I haven't used it, but it should work also. Video quality wise the order of preference would be HDMI, AV, Composite. I bought the composite cable for traveling, because I figure most TVs in hotels would have composite inputs.

I am trying to find graphic drivers so I can watch 'Netflix' on my "WINDOWS 8" operating system. They lead me to you. R u able to help me out?

Hi...
I am not really sure why "netflix" lead me to you at Apple unless my Iphone being plugged into my compt. had something to do with it?
But here is the problem:
I turned on one of 'netflix' movies, it took awhile and the following messege popped up:
*Not supported by Visual Machine.
New Graphics Drivers May Be Required.

The second paragraph read like this:
For Windows 8
Basic Display Adapter
Apple Boot Camp
Graphics Driver
The error code was at the bottom and read as follows:
W8156-C0262500
I am stumped,, I've worked on this for almost a week, and I'm getting no where... If anyone is able to help me out on this I would be ever so grateful as my mother who is 84 yrs old had a third massive stroke. I was trying to get this set up for her so she would be able to watch movies with me in the bedroom. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.... deb...

I am having trouble watching Movies and TV shows on iPad

I have a 16 GB iPad and I am having trouble watching TV shows I have purchased and movies on my iPad. I have deleted every app I can and deleted all my pictures , music , books etc. etc. and I am left with only the iPad apps I cannot delete and I STILL cannot watch the shows that are down loaded in "the cloud" ! Why can't I watch them "in the cloud" where there is tons of memory if I don't have enough memory on iPad? Also, what is the point of 16 GB on iPad if most of it is used for basics and not enough left for me to use ? Please help me as this is frustrating !!! Thanks.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch

With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

I keep getting the endless blue circle when trying to watch netflix on my macbook pro, despite completely uninstalling/reinstalling silverlight?

I'm putting this question in the Macbook Pro category because I'm not having this problem on a similar age Macbook Air, both of which are running Lion, so I'm wondering if its not something to do with the graphics card or something else specific to this laptop? The software suite isn't the same between the two computers, so that could also be an issue, if anyone has any ideas about what software may be interfering.
The long and short of it is that when I try to watch netflix on my 2011 Macbook Pro, I get the Silverlight blue dots that spin around in a circle in the middle of the screen, and that's it. I assumed it was a silverlight problem, so I completely uninstalled/trashed the silverlight plugin and all its associated files (having read other forums where detailed command-line instructions were given) and reinstalled, and I still have the same problem. And it occurs in 3 browsers: chrome, firefox, and safari.
And here's the real kicker -- I'm running Windows 7 in Parallels.....and when I try to watch netflix on my VM, I no longer get the blue circle....BUT the movies/shows don't play. I can scroll through the entire show and the current frame will come up, but it will not play --- the play button is depressed (ie, I can only see a pause button) but nothing happens -- it's as if the

There are several issues for sure you may be dealing with all of which may be related. I would start by saying that you experienced a "Kernel Panic" during the boot camp partition, described in article http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1392. I would advise that for the heat issue and the kernel panics in conjunction, may be a good push to get diagnostics at a retail store or apple service provider.
- - If all this is just a set of resolvable software or small hardware issues, articles http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1388 and http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964 will help surely start tackling these issues, best of luck!

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.

Is there a cable I can use for iPad one to watch Netflix and play apps on my HDTV? I bought the hdmi connector but it only works on iPad 2.

I bought the hdmi and didn't realize you can only use it for iPad 2. I want to be able to watch Netflix through my iPad 1. And also play my apps on my big screen is there any cable out that will let me do this on my iPad 1.

Unfortunately, that's a limit with the original iPad.
