Unable to watch movies on Netflix!

Hi everyone. My problem begins everytime I try to play a movie on Netflix. I can navigate without any issue, but as soon as I try to play any movie it takes me to the System Compatibility page:
Complete System Requirements
To watch instantly, you''ll need a computer that meets the following minimum requirements:
Windows
Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Vista or Windows 7
Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher; or Firefox 3 or higher; or Chrome 7 or higher
1.2 GHz processor
512 MB RAM
Mac
An Intel-based Mac with OS 10.4.11 or later
Safari 3 or higher; or Firefox 3 or higher; or Chrome 10 or higher
1 GB RAM
Chrome OSA Google Chromebook with Chrome OS 13 or higher
Which in review, I meet all the requirement (Macbook Pro 2.2GHz Intel, OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Safari 5.1.2). I tried using Firefox and it takes me to the same page. I already contacted Netflix Customer Service and they told me everything is working acordingly, and the issue seems to be my Laptop. I'm scratching my head but I can't think of the issue that keeps me from playing movies. Any help is appreciated beforehand. Thanks for your time.

    My Power Book G4 is unable to download Instant Watch movies from Netflix. Is there software to enable this?

    Powerbook has a PowerPC G4 processor, which isn't Intel-based.
    That's a problem we've run into with Powerbooks ... various web sites requiring an Intel processor or Flash, and other products, no longer being supported.

    Anyone know how to get Snow Leopard to stay in 32 bit mode so I can watch movies on Netflix?  I tried holding down the 3 and 2 on startup and it doesn't work.

    Try setting the kernel in terminal by following the steps below if you want it to start in 32-bit mode.

  • Apple tv (2nd gen) freezes up while watching movies on Netflix. Only sometimes not on every movie. Any ideas how to fix?

    Sometimes when I watch a movie on Netflix on my apple tv it will sometimes pause and freeze for an extended period of time. It happens on about 1 out of every 5 movies I watch. If I watch a movie on my iMac (which is in the same room) I don't have any issues whatsoever. My Internet speed is fine at 50 MEG. I just think that it has something to do with the Apple TV unit. Am I doing something wrong or a setting to change or does anyone know how to fix this issue? Thanks in advance, Pete.

    This doesn't sound right at all.
    My thought would be:
    1 - Possible itunes problem or corrupt itunes library file. Try using iTunes from a different user account to see if thatworks ok, if it does, I'd wonder about the other account library being corrupted.
    2 - Network issue - ensure you've not enabled any firewalls or other software security which could be slowing communication to AppleTV.
    3 - Hard drive problem - are these movies stored on the computer's main drive? If so, is the rest of the computer behaving normally or slowly? Check SMART status of drive using Disk Utility. If the movies are on an external or network drive, gain can you manually copy stuff to/from that drive normally? If not it could be a hardware issue or network slowness affecting a network drive. Also could the movies be on a drive that is no longer connected? The odd thing is the artwork not showing in itunes as it normally would in my experience even if files were no longer accessible for some reason.
    4 - Just for good measure , and for no particular reason, sometimes restarting router, AppleTV and computer can help spurious issues.

  • How can I watch movies via Netflix subscription?

    Sorry for a basic question - I have an active Netflix subscription for streaming.....but cannot figure how to watch movies on my iPad air??

    In order to watch Netflix on your Netflix enabled device you will need a computer with internet access, an internet connection for the device itself, and a Netflix subscription.
    Open your preferred web browser on your computer and navigate to www.netflix.com
    Log into your acct if necessary and click "Your acct & Help" on the upper right hand side of the page
    Scroll down the page until you reach the "Watching Instantly on your TV or computer" section and click the link for"Activate a Netflix ready device"
    On the device itself, navigate to the Netflix App (location will vary based upon model-please see your manual for specifics)
    After launching the app for the first time, you will be asked if you have a Netflix acct. When you answer "Yes", you will be given an authentication code that you will then need to enter on the page you should now be at on your computer.
    Click the "Activate" button after entering the code on the "Activate your Device" screen from your computer.
    Netflix will now link your device and your acct; you will see a confirmation message on your computer when successful. You should now be viewing your Netflix home screen on your device. Select a title to begin streaming.

    Though I'm not entirely sure that is necessary on the iOS Netflix App.

  • Unable to watch movie on iPad because not connected to Internet.

    I rented my first movie from the iTunes Store yesterday and downloaded it to my iPad 3 to watch on a flight today. But after we reached altitude and we could turn on our electronics, I was unable to watch the movie because I wasn't connected to wifi or cellular data. If the movie was downloaded, why would I have to be online to watch it?  Kind of makes the iPad useless for watching movies on flights, and since I've seen other people doing it, something must have gone wrong.  Can anyone help on this?  Thanks.

    Yes, it fully downloaded. I don't have any other movies. This was my first shot at it. Thought I'd give it a try as I had a 4-hour flight today. I was in airplane mode, of course, and when I tried to start the movie I got a message saying I wasn't connected to wifi or cellular data. So I had to read the u s airways magazine five times (ugh!).

  • HT1657 unable to watch movie rental as it freezes and skips

    I purchased snow white and the huntsman but unable to watch it because it freezes then it skips.  How do I fix this so I can watch it before the time frame expires?

    I just went into my account in itunes and clicked on purchased history, clicked on report problem, then i selected "reported problem" by the movie rental.  I guess I'll see if iTunes responds to me by either fixing it, or reimbursing me the $5

    You watch movies in the video app.
    iTunes is only a link to the store for purchasing media.
    Are the videos downloaded to the iPad?
    Are you streaming the videos?
    Where are the videos from?

  • Watching movies from Netflix app on your tv from iPhone 5

    I was wondering, since at the moment I'm without cable tv and internet because of a dispute with my local cable provider, is there a way I can 'mirror' or whatever movies from the netflix app to my tv? I don't have any special cables for my iPhone but for my MacBook Pro I do use a HDMI cable from my macbook to my tv (just a regular Sanyo 46" LCD TV) and it works just fine. I figure if I can somehow connect my iPhone to my MacBook Pro, then to my tv I might can stream the movies on my phone but shows on my tv.
    As I said, right now I don't have internet (just relying on Sprints network) and I'm not in range of any free wifi.

    You may be able to do so through your "Personal Hotspot".
    Hook your computer to your TV.
    On your phone under settings click "Personal Hotspot" and turn it on, use the information provided to connect your computer to your "Hotspot".
    That should work so you can use Netflix on your computer since you'll now have wi-fi.

  • Using Apple TV. I can watch a movie preview but unable to watch movie because DCP compatible. Why?

    I can watch the preview but says can't purchase the movie because it is not HDCP compatible. Why?

    Apple are not here, only fellow users. It's not Apple's choice as to what films are available for rent, it's the film studios that specify which countries Apple can have their films available for sale and/or rental and in what format (HD and/or SD).

  • I have authorize my computer yet I am still unable to watch movies.

    Hi, I have recently found my old I-pod with my old account on it which got hacked. With this account I purchased some movies. Now when I got to watch them it tells me to aurthorize my computer, which I have done (tells me on my profile on I-tunes) Yet, when I go to watch said movies it keeps telling me to authorize my computer.
    Cheers.

    Sorry you haven't received an answer, or the search results weren't helpful. You do not need to save all your favorites again individually.
    Incomplete importing sometimes happens (example of past thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/835144 Only 1/3rd of my bookmarks imported from IE. How do I move the rest?]). Could be related to the number/depth of folders, but I'm not sure whether anyone has definitely identified the cause(s).
    For best results, export from IE to an intermediate file, which is in HTML format. Then import that file into Firefox. It will be a folder on the Bookmarks Menu, and you can use the Organizer/Library dialog to rearrange them the way you want them.
    The following pages give the steps:
    * IE: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Import-or-export-favorites-in-Internet-Explorer Import or export favorites in Internet Explorer]
    * Firefox: [[Import Bookmarks from an HTML file]]
    Success?
