Is BBC iPlayer an App, or a site you're accessing through Safari?
I have tried the iplayer app and via safari and i can access the site but the programme does not load and I have tried several programmes and none of them load
I assume you've tried deleting the app then re-downloading it from the App Store? It contains IP detection and is set to only work in the UK.
I have tried deleting and reinstall the app and also disconnect the wifi and then reconnect but it still does not load any programme. My location is in the UK
Fine here. Step one (if you have ever owned a PC you must remember this) switch it off, and switch it on again.
Thanks I have tried this as well but iplayer still fails to load programme. Searched on BBC iplayer website and it appears this is a common problem. Is this something that the BBC should be getting a fix to resolve this as the issue is widespread? Not sure what else to try, does anyone have any ideas?
There is clearly a problem, I cannot get any progs to load in iplayer. I have the channel4 player which works fine on my iPad2. I've been onto the BBC iplayer forum and it appears lots of people are having probes with iplayer and iPad. Not sure how when this will be fixed.
Add me to the list. Whenever I select a program it just times out on both Safari and the Application. Go to my pc and it works instantly. Channel 4 and ITV are ok as is tvcatchup. So what's going on? It used to work when the app first ace out.
By any chance, are the people here having problems using a d-link router? Looking elsewhere this could be a theme.
Go to system preferences, energy saver, switch off automatic graphics switching - try that, let us know if it helps.
I find that I can download programmes if i do it one at a time. They are much slower that previously to download
