What's Up with the Netflix App on Apple TV?

Am I the only one who absolutely hates the Netflix app on the Apple TV?
I mean don't get me wrong, I love Air Play, my iTunes Library and the way the Apple TV just completes my ecosystem... but I HATE the netflix app on the Apple TV.
My only solution to this problem right now has been to just use my laptop, hook up air play, and use the Netflix.com's system... But that's really not a good fix is it? I mean both the PS3 and XBOX360 have a legit, easy-to-use interface.. but the Apple TV's just feels stale...
I've repeatedly gotten lost in the navigation of it all. The controls aren't exactly confusing.. but they're surely not "intuitive." I guess I just expected more out of an Apple App.
Am I the only one who feels this way?

I much prefer the ATV app. What is it that you have issues with?

  • What's wrong with the Podcast app after latest update?

    Dear Apple. What the h... did you do to the Podcast-app in the last update? Nothing works anymore! It won't update new episodes and I can't delete the episodes I've listened to without the app crashing. Get it together and get it fixed. Now! Please!

    looks like it was just updated, try and update the app and try again?

  • What is up with the email app

    My email app is not accepting (recieving) or sending email from the device, even though I have changed the passwords in my email service and made sure the passwords in the device 100% match in both the device as well as the email service(s) why is this happening? I realize I am running a dinosaur device but everything  else is working still (Music apps games ect.) I need to have the email functioning correctly!

    When I changed the password on the device it said it could not be verified even though I had just changed the password  I waited about 30 minutes and tried adding the new password and still couldnt be verified so I tried adding a different email account and got the same result it couldnt verify the email password for the second email account even though I went into that email service changed the password and made sure it exactly 100% matched on the device
    I use both an Earthlink account and a Hotmail account and the device is not getting either account for the Hotmail account it says "pop3.live.com the password or user name is incorrect" even though I just signed in on my computer with the same exact user name and password

  • What's wrong with the audio from my Apple TV?

    I will occasionally rent a movie on iTunes because they are a dollar less than the same movie  rental through DirecTV.  Saturday night I rented and watched “The Dark Night Rises” and was disappointed in the audio portion of this movie as it played on my home theatre system. My ATV2 is connected via HDMI to my Yamaha RX-V65 receiver. My router (which is in the den) is an Apple Extreme dual-band router.   Throughout the movie, the dialogue was never centered correctly, the rear channels had very little information, and the left rear speaker had some strange intermittent static noise.  This was very disappointing.  The following day I tested my amplifier and speaker setup with Yamaha’s in-built speaker test tones and all was well.  I then played a Blue ray movie and the audio was fine, including output from the left rear speaker.  BTW, while playing the movie  through the ATV2, all 6 lights on the Yamaha receiver were lit up indicating all 5.1 speakers were active, but the audio was a mess!!  Can anyone tell me what might be wrong?  Do these movies rented from the iTunes store and played over the ATV2require a special sound field program on the Yamaha? Any help would be appreciated

    if you want the peaks to stay, right click on the audio meter and choose static peaks.
    Todd recorded a great video about the audio meter and mixer here:

    as for the meter not moving the first few frames, i think, i can't help you.

  • What's wrong with the iTunes app updates?

    The last days the app update is behaving very strange. One moment there are no updates, then suddenly there are 8 but iTunes cannot find them. And at this moment, there are 41 updates being downloaded while 5 minutes ago there were none. What's going one?

    I'm having the same problem.  I even tried updating through my computer with no success.

  • Why with so many How can I fix what is broken with the itunes software, does apple not "fix" the software?

    For Sale iPad 2,,, If I cant get ituens to work. There is no way that after a fresh install, the help tool bar should not work REALLY.

    You'd get more knowledgeable answers if you posted in the appropriate forum - that would be iPad. This forum is to discuss the forums themselves.
    When you re-post, please be specific on what you did and what happened.

  • All of my apple sets (iphone, ipad and computer) cannot connect the app store since yesterday, what's wrong with the app store?

    All of my apple sets (iphone, ipad and computer) cannot connect the app store since yesterday, what's wrong with the app store? do you know? or do you have have the same experience?

  • What is wrong with the app store and how long before its fixed, im downloading atna very slow pash and i have a 10mb uncontested line.

    What is wrong with the app store and how long before its fixed, im downloading atna very slow pash and i have a 10mb uncontested line.

    Sorry, its on both my iphone 4s (2 iphones) and ipad2 that the app store is slow, I have done all the above and still when i download a 1 mb app it take about a half a hour just to download and previously it wasn't even a second. When browsing the web the devices are fast and internet speed is good, but when going in to app store it takes long to load and show me the new app, updates, featured app ect. We watch movie online and the streaming is brilliant. Even on my windows pc the app store is slow and sometimes says that i store could not be opened, i have also tried on my buddies wifi and there it does exactly the same which makes me think that its on apples side, but why do you not have any problems?

    RR,
    Not to worry, you're not the first to expect Print to finish by returning you to the edit mode. The thing is that Printing is so hit and miss with this version of the app, you will probably want to stay in the Print window for more than one attempt.

  • Can I run the Netflix app on a 1st generation Ipod Touch running 3.1.3?

    I have a 1st generation ipod touch running ios 3.1.3. I want to run netflix on it but when I try to install from itunes I get the message "The app "Netflix" was not installed on the IPOD because it requires a newer version of IPOD software." I have read from goggling this issue that netflix streaming on the 1st gen ipod is possible. What am I doing wrong? Or is this not possible at all?

    "The "reason" that Netflix will not work with iOS 3.1.3 is because Netflix does so much that iOS 3.1.3 cannot handle it. SImple."
    This is untrue, as was stated earlier:
    I was running netflix on an itouch first generation ios 3.1.3 untill the glich with the app store.  The newest update will not run on it now and I lost the original version when I reset the Itouch thinking the problem was on my end.
    If you had said it's "incompatible" instead of "cannot handle it" or specified the version of the Netflix, perhaps the new Netflix app is so incredible, or rather it "does so much" MORE, you might be within the realm of having some useful input, but the following:
    It would appear so!
    leads me to understand you don't know what you're talking about or you're a wannabe company man and just lying.
    If anyone else has useful information regarding running the Netflix app that certainly worked for us Netflix subscribers who are also 1g owners–and there are at least thousands, if not tens of thousands–and were using the app before we upgraded to 3.1.3 or restored and downloaded the latest Netflix app, it'd be great to hear from them.  1. 2. 3. SImple.

  • Having problems downloading the Netflix app from App Store

      I am currently using my computer but I could not download the Netflix App from the App Store, and it also asked me for a service code to initiate the download what is service code?

    Thanks R.W.R but what I was saying was that I did get 10.10.3 installed using the standalone download instead of the app store. Because I tried using the app store several times to do the update, I know have 10.10.3 showing up five times in the updated in the last 30 days section. I guess after 30 days it will go away, I just didn't know if there was a way to clear some of the duplicates out before then.
    On the bright side, the 10.10.3 seems to have fixed the folder action issue. I can now use folder actions again which I really missed. I compared the folder action plist now with the older plist and noticed they are handling the folder actions differently now. They are now using osa scripts and dispatcher ticks to run the action. So far it seems to be behaving itself and not trying to gobble up all the memory in the system.

  • How do I find, download, and install an older version of the Netflix app?

    I was using the Netflix app when it froze up trying to start playing an episode of a TV show. Rebooting my iPhone 5 didn't unfreeze it, so I deleted the app. When I went into the App Store to download it again, it said I had to update to iOS 7.0 or higher in order to download the Netflix app. In the past, the App Store has given me the option to download an older version of the app and this has always fixed any problems I have had with it. Next, I tried logging into iTunes on my laptop (I'm working in Windows, in case that makes a difference) to see if it would give me the option to download an older version of the Netflix app there, but that didn't work either. Finally, I called Netflix's customer support help desk line, but they told me they have no app link to send me and no control over which old editions Apple chooses to offer in the App Store, and that my best bet was to go ask you fine folks if you have any possible solutions.
    (The reason I can't simply upgrade from my current setting of iOS 6.1.4 is that when Apple released iOS 7.0, even with adjustments to the color contrast, the reduced motion feature enabled, and sunglasses on, using my iPhone 5 for more than 5 minutes at a time gave me projectile-vomit-inducing migraines that lasted 24 hours each time. I'm disabled so I use my iPhone for pretty much everything, though I would say about 95% of my usage time is watching movies and TV shows on apps like Netflix for entertainment -- distraction is a huge part of my pain control plan, because so few medications help me -- because it's more convenient than using my laptop in bed, both in terms of distance to available power outlets and in terms of how I'm able to position my disabled body most comfortably. So I'm not just being a stupid stubborn girl here, I just couldn't make iOS 7.0 work for my disabled body and I don't currently have the financial resources to trade my iPhone 5 in and go buy an Android smartphone that does work for me...though I'm increasingly suspicious that this may be my only option.)
    I tried downloading older Netflix apps compatible with iOS 6.1.4 in various public forums online as one of my friends recommended, but when I moved the old Netflix app into my iTunes Library, it kept asking me for the password of the original iTunes account that downloaded the app in order to access it and sync it to my iPhone 5. And I haven't been lucky, no one has been using their username or "password" as the password. I have yet to find a download link offer the username/password combo in the details for new downloaders, so if any of you have an old version of the Netflix app that's compatible with iOS 6.1.4 and want to share your username/password combo with me (after which you should change your password for safety, obviously), I couldn't possibly be more grateful.

    Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
    Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.

    I have a  macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I sync my iphone and ipad? (it seems like each is synced only to my laptop, so don't synchronize until I go home and use my laptop.

    POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
    Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
    If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically  Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
    To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"
