Older versions of Safari may not be compatible with the web technologies that the Apple TV+ website is using. Also, lack of security updates for older software may play a role. Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t publish exact system requirements for compatibility. To overcome incompatibility, a more modern browser is needed.

As Safari versions are tied in to the macOS versions with which they are bundled, your options may be limited for older Macs. Try Chrome or Firefox instead, as they may offer slightly more modern versions of their browsers for your older version macOS, although probably not their latest version browser.


Else try watching on a device that has more modern software, perhaps a smart TV or TV-connected streaming device.
