Netflix - connection error with iPad and iPad2

Im having the same issues and cant seem to find the answer. Help would be appreciated.

I found the solution on the netflix support site [not a bad place to look]. http://support.netflix.com/en/node/50 The time and date were wrong on the iPod Touch - corrected that and connection was immediate.

Has anybody noticed if the iPhone or iPads are using WIFI or Cellular Data!!?

My iphone will not work on Netflix through WIFI but will work on Cellular Data and iCloud only works through Cellular Data... I am thinking it a particular problem with the Internet network iam using (in this case it is DEKAL WIRELESS in Jamaica).

I'm having the same issue. Connection error. All was well until this morning. Have deleted app and reinstalled to no avail. Really annoying. Anyone got a solution yet?

Am on iPad 3

Oops! update, i purposely type in wrong password to see if it would give me another connection error message, but it gave me wrong password message. When I eventually typed in correct password, it finally let me in with no connect error message. **** technology! Either its a temporary issue, or a gremlin in the works.

I think I've got this one. I noticed the same problem on my iPad 3. It was also happening on my android phone which is the brand new S4 (sorry apple). Anyway - My MacBook Pro streems fine so I shut the wifi off on my phone and used the 4G network and Netflix came through fine on my phone. THAT'S IT! It was a network connectivity issue, the app works fine and the computer works fine the only thing left is how they communicate. The odd thing was that I could get any other website on my ipad or my phone using wifi but not neflix. What I ended up doing was going to the wifi settings on my ipad, clicked the little arrow that points to the right (next to the network I was connected to) a window popped up with a button that read, "renew lease" (which renews your devices connection to the router) and presto chango everything was cool... hopefully it works for my phone too becasue I pay for data on the 4g network 😉

Hope this helps everyone!

Beyond frustrated with this app

Guys, easy solution - check that your date and time setting is on auto. So many people changing it for more lives on games etc but Netflix won work without the correct date and time.

Hi everybody !

Just fixed the issue on my mom's iPad that only supports the 5.1.1 version. What you need to do is go to SETTINGS>GENERAL>RESET>RESET NETWORK SETTINGS. It will restart your iPad/iPhone/iPod and you need to log on to your wi-fi again and voila ! You can sign back into your netflix account (input the username And password). This will not change anything else on your device !!!

Thanks this worked for my iPhone 4S

I think it was because I signed up for a free trial of netflix when I was in another country perhaps it logged something that netflix looks at and got confused it's working now

So, I found an unfortunate answer, that worked in my case.

I uninstalled Netflix for iPad, and installed Netflix for iPhone.

It streams with lower definition, and the network connection rarely dies.

I think the high-def streaming was just overwhelming the iPad.

I can stream in high def over a chrome cast and three different wifi connected computers... but not the iPad.

I know that this is 2015 now so hopefully you have resolved your problem! But I came across your question because the Netflix app was not working on my daughter's brand new iPad Mini 2. All I did was uncheck "VPN" and turn off Bluetooth. Everything worked fine! Hope this helps someone!

After trying everything else, this splatoon worked a treat for me. I think something must have happened to the connection when I had unplugged my router while moving furniture And it somehow upset the wifi connection with Netflix on the iPad (all other apps and connection worked fine) simple network reset was all that was needed.

I hate to post on such an old thread but I had the same behavior today after changing my Netflix password. I use a password manager which generates 16 character passwords for me using letters, numbers, and special characters. This generated password happened to have a double quote " in it.

The changed password worked on 2 Xboxes, 2 PC's, a Note 4, and Kindle Fire HDX. However, both iPad Air 2's in my house stopped working immediately. I tried everything I could find including an IP release/renew, resetting to factory network settings, rebooting the router/modem, reinstalling the app, rebooting the tablets, etc.

All along my wife is saying "maybe it doesn't like those special characters" to which I replied something along the lines of "that's stupid I'm a software developer and there's no way it's that simple, it would be bulls**t if that's what it was..."

Now I'm eating crow because all I changed in the 16 character password was a " to a @ and both iPads log in fine now. All I can say is ***?
