Netflix for iOS 9.3.5

Yes, my friend bought it from another friend, and we suspected this. We wanted to try signing in with the old users keys to visit the Reloaded page and see if previous installed version of Netflix is available. If not we will try Reset All Settings. I'll report back as soon as we get a chance to do this. Thank you very much!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I recently purchased an older iPad and couldn't figure out how to be able to view Netflix and Hulu. I looked online till I was blue in the face, but yours is the very first method that actually worked. I can't tell you how tickled I am! Thanks again.

I've never seen so many posts of something that doesn't work. My original Ipad came with Netflix already installed. I do not have the option of downloading an older version from the Purchased menu.

I know you want to believe what you're saying, and I've read the procedure for days prior to trying to install. Unless the older versions of Netflix are listed by a different name, they are not in the app store using iTunes v12.6.5.3. I have iOS v9.3.5 and cannot upgrade any higher. I have a Windows 10 PC with iTunes v12.6.5.3 installed.

By the way, the same problem exists with the Curiosity Stream app (CS). I cannot unlink my CS account to my iPad because the older app was uninstalled accidentally by my kid, and the newer app doesn't work on iOS v9.3.5. According to CS I have to sign back up with a different email account. Now ask yourself if that makes any sense?

Your own disclaimer says "Apps may or may not have older iOS 9.3.5 versions still available from within the iOS App Store." This is the brick wall that I have hit!!

"You install the older version of iTunes." (Pass, that works)

"Login to your Apple ID and password in iTunes and download/install the current version of Netflix to iTunes on your computer using the iOS App Store within iTunes." (Fail - DOES not give me an option of downloading anything without the iPad connected).

Too bad I cannot attach the video. Then you will understand what I have written.

”I've never seen so many posts of something that doesn't work. My original Ipad came with Netflix already installed. I do not have the option of downloading an older version from the Purchased menu.”

If your iPad came with Netflix installed, then you must have purchased a used iPad as no new iPad comes with Netflix installed by default. And if it was already downloaded from the App Store and installed on your iPad when you got it, it must have been done using someone else’s AppleID. So no, it won’t be in your AppleID purchased list because you did not download it. Your purchase list only includes the items you downloaded when logged into the App Store with your AppleID.

With the cost of an iPad the way it is, any version should be available for any iPad at any given time. Your answer is simply frivolous and preposterous! This is no way to force customers into shelling money into new hardware when the old hardware still works just fine. This is why people are starting to move away from Apple products.

What in the world are you going on about? Netflix still has a version available for iOS 9.3.5 and the solution to getting it has been given many times in this thread. As far as any version of iOS being available no matter how old the device that is just silly. Older hardware is 32 bit while the newer versions of iOS are 64 bit.

Apple, as the retailer of developers intellectual property has no legal right at all to continue to distribute software they don’t own when a developer decides to pull their product or a version of their product. What you’re proposing is not only illegal but anyone who’s ever developed their own IP would be appalled if any company even thought of trying that. The retail cost of the device you use your licensed software on has absolutely nothing to do with that.

If I develop an app and sell it in the App Store, and then later decide I no longer wish to sell it, Apple cannot force me to continue to sell it, nor can they illegally keep copies of my software and continue to distribute it.

Apple doesn’t own developers software that they sell through their online App Store. Each developer owns their intellectual property, and Apple cannot distribute it via the App Store without the developers knowledge and consent. And each developer has every legal right to rescind that consent to distribute whenever they wish to.

Have you setup a payment method in the Settings app under iTunes and App Store settings?

What app/s can't you download/install?

Do you own other newer iDevices?

Do you own a real, full featured computer?

Did you bother to read through this post thread for your answers?

Plenty of solutions that should work for you throughout this post.

I have the same issue. My iPad 3 using 9.3.5 that’s the latest and greatest for this device. It still works great, shouldn’t have to replace just because Apple won’t keep updates for it. Pallet should keep updates available for older devices!

My iPad mini makes a reasonable bedside alarm clock or digital photo frame. On charge permanently.

I gave up trying to browse the web with it. Too slow even after total restore. Banks dropped their support a year ago as well as Skype.

Thanks that is now bookmarked.

Logging into banks is so laborious on browsers (mine needs a supplied hand-held coding device) where the app just needs one PIN.

Some sites like my favourite LBC.co.uk radio station still fail when trying to stream because it appears to need the 64bit processor just to play sound.

Same for Skype.com.

FYI,

In case you didn’t know.

Microsoft ended ALL support for their apps for older iOS versions and devices back in Jan. 2019.

So, no longer is Skype ( owned by Microsoft ) no longer available for older iPads, so is all MS Office apps no longer available, either.

Yeah, tried that radio station via the actual Website and no luck.

Tried iCab and Aloha Web browsers and no luck.

Still, does not make older iPads useless for regular usage, though.
