Unable to play some movies from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up "Cannot play movie. Please try again later." I contacted Netflix but have not been able the help so I am wondering if it's my iPad. I didn't have a problem before but I have recently upgraded to iOS 7.1. Also is a certain amount of storage needed to play a movie? About how much is that?
Hello all,
I have an iPad 2 16GB with iOS 7.0.3 and Netflix version 5.0.2. I cannot watch netflix on an External LCD monitor that I have through VGA out. I use bluetooth speakers, so the AirPlay is going to that for Audio. Before this update, this combo worked without an issue.
So as of Friday Nov. 8/2013, I contacted Netflix support, and they said they fixed the problem on their end, and the fix is on the Apple side of things, and to contact Apple support.
So, I contacted Apple support, and the first person I spoke to said I would have to agree to pay a $35 fee for 30 days of support to this problem since my unit is out of warranty. I said this isn't a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and I'm not willing to pay to fix a problem you created. So I got a Senior Level advisor on the line, and she was helpful, and she's looking into the issue for me and said she'll contact me sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov. 12 or 13) to let me know of the issue.
Here's the thing: this is a combination of Netflix and iOS not working correctly with any of the Apple Authorized Dongles. This is truly a code error that some hot shot programmer had major oversight on, and their management didn't catch it either. There was no reason for Netflix to rush to get this Netflix update going until Apple sorted out the bugs in iOS 7.
Anyway, if I hear anything from Donna (the advisor), I'll post it and let you guys know. In the mean time, good luck! -

Re: Downgrading Oct 16, 2012 2:57 PM (in response to nbabbit2013)
I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice. -
Hello,
From purchasing my iPad 2 which had IOS 4 installed at new I upgraded to IOS 5.1.1 and had no intention of upgrading further missing out on the IOS 6 and the reviews of IOS 7 was a definite no no to me.
That was before my great-granddaughter age 8 was playing her games or colouring because she has her own page did for some reason open up the settings app and the rest is history, when she said grandad there's something wrong and I went to look my heart sank and tried turning off both iPad and router but there's just no stopping it.
Everybody say's that I am now stuck with IOS 7.0.4 but I am not convinced because I created a backup of my iPad last June 13 in iTunes with IOS 5.1.1 and wondered if I could restore back to that backup.
Also while I am playing around with this new operating system what parts am I not able to run on iPad 2 that is in the full version of IOS 7.
Regards
Gadgetman21ukNo, it will still stay as IOS 7.0.4

help..help...my i phone 3gs after upgrading to ios 5 for few hours thn my phone "pass away"total cannot on anymore.how to solve this problem.tq
Thanks for the clarification. Yes, I do access my email from 2 different sources.
FYI, I use the POP mailserver as I need most of the information to be loaded onto my PC while on a plane / not connected to the interenet.
The primary use of mail on my iPhone is to be available as much as possible - even when I'm away from my office.
Thanks again for your help. I'll start deleting them in segments of 100....... -
I cannot download or upgrade any apps from AppStore on my iphone 4 after upgrading to ios 5.1.1
I upgraded my iphone 4 to ios 5.1.1 using itunes.
After which I started using my phone as usual.
I was not able to upgrade or download apps from AppStore using wi-fi or 3G.
When I select any app for upgradation or downloading it starts, But It stops at 'waiting' stage , And never goes to 'loading' stage.
Please help resolve this issue.
Thanks!Have you tried buying or upgrading on your mac or pc via itunes? You may have bad wifi/3G connections. And, for 3G, most carriers place a file size limit on tranmissions. I think that affects app downloads, if they're big.

After upgrading to IOS 7, I can only transfer songs to my iPhone 5 that I bought on iTunes. I cannot transfer songs I burned from CD. When I drag them to my phone in iTunes, my phone appears to be updating, but the songs don't show up there.
I'm using IOS 7.1.2 and iTunes 11.3.0.54. WIndows 7.
Thanks.This has worked for many folks according to the feedback I have gotten:
Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music. -
On my iPhone 5, upgraded to iOS 7, the lists in Reminders are impossible to delete. When I press Edit button in the right corner of the app, the button Delete list is supposed to be at the bottom, but it's empty there, the deal is I could delete some of the lists, but most of them I can't. I tried delete iCloud account from iPhone, but they are still there, and still no Delete button. In the Browser I don't see those lists, so cannot delete them from the Browser as well. Could you help me?
Read on another thread here that you now swipe in the opposite direction. Try swiping right to left.

Since upgrading to IOS 8.1.2 on my iPad3, I cannot send/receive emails from either of my Apple or Verizon email accounts. I confirmed that my internet connection is working. Does anyone know how to fix this problem or how to go back to IOS 8.1.1?
Hi Milrclan,
Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
If you're not able to send or receive email from the mail accounts on your iPad after updating iOS, start with these troubleshooting tips:

After upgrading to iOS 8.0.2, I can't print from my iPhone 5s
After upgrading to iOS 8.0.2, I can't print from my iPhone 5s. My iPhone 4s and iPad continue to print. When I try to print to either printer, the message reads,"contacting printer," and then, "preparing to print." But nothing prints.
Following ultimately helped me : Make sure that you are logged in at the App Store App or iTunes App with your apple ID and password with a US account. Turn your iPad off and on and than you should see the Radio button again. It won't work if you are logged on with a foreign account. If you are not logged in at all, it worked, too.

After I upgrded to iOS 5, the category of other is taking up 15.3 GB of space. Prior to the upgrade, I had approx. 15GB of free space on my 64 GB iPad. My concern is that the only solution to this problem that occurred from the "upgrade" is that I have to do a factory reset. If I do a factory reset, there are two big pain points.
1) The amount of time that it will take to get all of my stuff back onto the iPad. When I first got the iPad, it took about 2 days for the music, videos, and photos to load.
2) Re-organizing my apps. I currently have my 229 apps organized into 11 folders and 8 screens. I know this is a lot of apps, but I don't want to have to go through the struggle of getting it all organized as it is today. Is there any way to get all of the apps organized the same way post-reset that will not involve a whole lot of work by me?
I have tried to call Apple support to get help on this, but I have gone through 4 phone calls with hold times averaging 45 minutes before speaking to someone. After all of this time and effort, their solution is a factory restore and do all the work myself.Hi again
The problem isn´t solved but we now know what it is.
Because I couldn´t upgrade the last 1-2 times with iTunes I though the problem was my iPod touch 3. generation, so when I heard that Apple couldn´t find or re-create the problem(s), then I flipped out. Sorry about that.
Because it looks as the problem belong to the Philips speakersystem (real name is DCM 580).
So when I received my touch back today and after speaking with Apple - DK, I looked at Philips support and found a firmware upgrade to the speakersystem from Sept. 23, 2011. Did upgrade my speakersystem and after that the rechargesystem through the dockconnection worked again. And at this afternoon on the homepage of my speakersystem, Philips tells us, that they have created a firmware update that only needs approval and then will be released at the homepage. So it looks at the whole problems was to some compatibility problems with the speakersystem after upgrading to iOS 5.0.
Its not easy to know where to start when 2 or more units are involved these days
Looked in the mirrow then I ofcourse know very well that we allways shall look for firmware and drive updates before anything else. This time I missed that because I have upgraded several time since February and uptil the day before upgrading to iOS 5.0 and none of thise upgrades had any needs for speakersystem upgrades.
Friendly regards

I am facing wifi and mobile 2G signal issue after upgrading to IOS 6 from IOS 5 in IPhone 3GS. The mobile carrier signal as well as WIFI suddenly drops zero and are then restored automatically. Sometimes i cannot conenct to WIFI even standing infront of WIFI router. Please help, restoring setting even didn't helped.
Update: my phone's connecting to the WiFi again. I don't know what did the trick. I did nothing since reinstalling the software. It hadn't worked then, it is now. I tried connecting to my dad's phone's hotspot( he uses a Moto G), and it worked. I then tried connecting to the WiFi at a friend's house, and when I came back home, my phone was able to connect to my WiFi! Is it of any significance that my friend's router doesn't require a password? My issue has been resolved( for now; I hope I'm not counting my chickens before they've hatched). For anyone facing a similar issue, I suggest you try everything I did:
1. Turn your router off for a minimum of 30 seconds, turn it back on and try connecting.
2. Click on the WiFi network you are connected to, scroll to the bottom, tap "Renew Lease".
3. Do a soft and hard reset.
4. Reset network settings.
5. Back your data up, erase all content from settings menu, restore from backup.
6. Reinstall your software( put it in recovery mode).
I am not sure which of the above worked for me. Make sure you try everything. If none of the above works, take it to a genius bar or an authorised service provider. Good luck! :) -
I just upgraded to iOS 5 and itunes synced my music fine. When I tried to sync the apps (they were all selected), it said that there were 5 steps, which included "Preparing for sync" and "Preparing apps to be synced". However, the sync was over in about a minute, no apps were transferred, and when I went to check the apps tab on the iPod, all of the apps were selected (which usually equalled over 1GB), yet it said that the apps were only worth 0.04 GB. I tried unchecking one of the apps and it immediately shot up to 1.04 GB! Thinking it may have been a computer problem, I tried to sync with a different computer, but I had to transfer purchases first. Again the same thing happened: it claimed to be syncing but nothing really happened. I don't know whether it's a problem with Itunes 10.5 (although I haven't heard of anyone with this issue) or my iPod. Help would be appreciated.
Note: I'm using an iPod Touch 4th g and my computers are running windows xp and 7, respectively.So just got off the phone with a senior Apple support person and here is the fix they gave me for the app issue. Not sure if it will work until I get home to try it. It appears that a lot of these issues are in relation to Apple's move from a generic Apple ID not attached to a specific email to an actual email address. Since my .mac or .me email was never verified with my original Apple ID (just my name) the iCloud was not recognizing that I actually had any apps associated with my account when signing in with the new .mac email that was connected to the iCloud. The below fix she stated would separate the iCloud and iTunes allowing the iCloud to handle all of my mail, contacts, calendars etc. and iTunes/store to handle the apps and purchases. I will update again if this takes care of the issue.
Go to applied.apple.com
- sign on with existing Apple ID (not an email address)
- add an email to your account and verify it
- edit your Apple ID to the new verified email address
On iTunes
Step #1
- iTunes store
- click on Apple ID in the upper right corner
- click edit
- edit Apple ID to new verified email address associated to account
Step #2
- synch device with cord
- click on device
- go to the App tab
- deselect synch apps
- apply
- synch
- go to the App tab
- select synch apps
- apply
Step #3
- on device go to store and enter the new verified email address as ID and password under store
You probably will have to do this to all devices that are synching with your iTunes account
