Netflix app for ipod touch not working - gray screen

Make sure the iPod is connected to the Internet by browsing a few web pages with Safari.

Try restarting the iPod touch.

If that doesn't work, try removing and reinstalling the Netflix application.

I have the exact same problem. I have an Ipod Touch 64 gb. Running iOS4. Deleted and reinstalled the application twice now. I get the red netflix screen then I go to grey screen and nothing happens. All other applications run fine and I am connected to the internet fine.

Hope someone can help

If the screen goes gray that means the app is non responsive.
The developer may have not tested the app for long enough you should just wait until they fix the mistakes in an update.

What worked for me on my 2nd gen Ipod touch was to set the time correctly. My clock was about 4 mins fast, after setting the clock on the touch to current time, the app worked.

Hope this helps.

Dude this totally worked you are amazing. Did you just stumble upon this fix? So, random...

A friend from work came up with this, but I forgot to ask him how he came across it. I think his Ipad was working then stopped and he didn't change anything and figured out the time was off.

If most people are having a time issue it makes sense that mostly ipod touchs' are affected, since the iphone should sync its time via cellular magic and the touchs' don't do this.

I guess the netflix app is doing some sort of authentication and the time being off causes it issues.

Glad someone found this information to be useful, pass it along.

yep setting to the correct time totally fixed it, i used the atomic time just to be sure but yep it worked like a charm thanks much

What time did you use?
