Info: MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4) May 9, 2012 Can you watch Netflix on iMac G5 Info: iMac Jun 1, 2012 I have purchased a new entry level mac mini with 8 gigs of memory. Can the intel 3000 hd handle netflix hd? Also, I am planning on running the mini mac under windows 7 ultimate unless someone has a suggestion for equal to windows media player. I have a usb dvr (with cable card) that allows me to record channels while out on work or out and about during the weekend? Info: Mac mini, Windows7 Mar 17, 2012 I can't watch netflix trailers.Netflix wants me to install silverlight plug-in.I am a PC user using Mac for the first time. Info:iMac Jun 7, 2010 can't watch instant watch on netflix w/ safari 5. This is what it says: 'Watching instantly on your computer Our apologies streaming is not supported on this browser.
Complete System Requirements To watch instantly, you'll need a computer that meets the following minimum requirements: Windows Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Vista or Windows 7 Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher; or Firefox 2 or higher 1.2 GHz processor 512 MB RAM Mac An Intel-based Mac with OS 10.4.8 or later Safari 3 or higher; or Firefox 2 or higher 1 GB RAM' May 6, 2012 About a month ago Netflix started giving me problems while watching instantly. Audio wasn't syncing with video and it would skip and freeze. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Silverlight, but that didn't work. After corresponding via email with micrsoft silverlight support and a complete uninstall and reinstall of silverlight and testing it on other websites, we determined that silverlight is not the issue. I then tried Netflix support, which was terrible and of no help at all. Now Netflix crashes all browser (Safari, Firefox, & Chrome) upon loading.
Netflix streaming works fine on all other computers in the house. I have all of the most recent updates of all browsers, I've tried repairing disk permissions and I'm running OS X 10.6.8 with all current software updates. I'm not sure what else to do.
Info:iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8), 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Nov 5, 2010 I've got a 27' iMac, 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5, running the latest Snow Leopard update. In browsing thru my Applications folder I noticed that I have an app called 'Microsoft Silverlight'.I never downloaded that app. Is that part of Snow Leopard? If not, why do I have it, what does it really do? I searched the internet but do not really understand it., do I need it?
Will it degrade performance if I uninstall it? What is your advice? As you can probably tell, I am a relatively new Mac user and not a computer expert. May 19, 2009 i recently got netflix and it requires Microsoft Silverlight. I've heard a lot of bad things about it interfering with other video watching programs and it being hard to fully remove and etc is this true, even worth installing? May 6, 2012 getting a Mac equivalent to the Microsoft 'refresh' when wanting to watch a webpage instantaneously such as when bidden on ebay?
Info: MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011) Jul 7, 2010 anybody using Netflix? I love their service, and I just discovered netflix app for Plex. It makes things even more awesome. I have connection speed at about 15M. I wonder if I should watch video streaming on safari or plex?
Will there be any difference in quality? If anybody have tried both, please tell me your thoughts.
Mar 21, 2012 I was watching Netflix and all of a sudden it said i needed to download the latest version of Silverlight. I clicked on the link, downloaded it, it said it installed successfully and all i had to do was reopen safari.but when i did that it still said i needed to install Silverlight. I keep retrying to download it but nothing seems to work. Info:MacBook May 12, 2012 Both the silverlight and Adobe reader icon stays on my desktop after I have installed. I can move the 'dmg' icon to the application folder, but the other 2 icons will not stay in the applications folder when I try to drag. Info: Mac OS X (10.6.6) Feb 11, 2012 I have tried to install silverlight several times and keep getting the error that the installer quit unexpectedly.
I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8. I could not find a solution for this anywhere.
I tried to also access the plug-in on the HD and it never opened up. Info: MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8) Apr 8, 2012 I just did a system update and now google chrome and the silverlight plugin do not work. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both numerous times, restarted, and checked for updates again but nothing works. What's going on? Info: MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2009), Mac OS X (10.6.8) Jun 24, 2014 accidentally deleted adobe flash player and silver light plug in. Netflix and videos on Facebook will no longer load. I reinstalled both but it's like nothing happened neither one work.
What's the issue? Apr 10, 2012 How do I hook up my macbook pro to my TV to watch netflix? I heard there is no audio in older laptops? Info:MacBookPro Sep 7, 2009 I installed Microsoft Office for Mac 2008, but I really do not want or need Microsoft Entourage or Messenger. I have read that if you only uninstall part of Microsoft Office, it'll create problems with the other programs in the suite.
How can I go about safely uninstalling these programs? Do I need to fully uninstall and then re-install? I made sure while installing Office to opt for a custom installation so I could un-check Entourage and Messenger. However, I didn't see those specific programs on the custom installation list. Are they maybe under a different name (like, for example, 'Microsoft Essentials')? I don't know what to do. Help is much appreciated!
Nov 14, 2010 How does your MBA 11 or 13 do streaming netflix, and what are your brightness settings and battery times like? Oct 24, 2010 I stream movies alot so I'm very interested in the new MBA's netflix streaming performance. Please state which model you are using, as I don't know which one I want yet. Oct 8, 2010 I have an older Netgear router in my apt and am having trouble getting consistent internet signal. I can't even do Netflix I get error Here is my setup, any ideas? MBP 2.4- Firefox, 10.6.4 software AT&T Elite dsl- 4.80 dl /0.64 upload?
Checked on URL Netgear router-older model- does this make a difference? Jan 18, 2010 I was wondering what type of cable I need if I want to hook my Mac Book Pro (the new one, 15' 2.53GHZ) to my new LG HDTV coming in tomorrow, I've never had a HDTV before and I really want to use Netflix streaming to hook up to the TV or DVD Blu Ray player which is a LG too.
I couldn't afford the high dollar wireless TV's that do one, but I found a nice 47' one for $999. I just don't want to buy the wrong cord without double checking first. Apr 27, 2012 I've recently begun seeing random, darkish rectangles appear and disappear while watching a streamed Netflix movie. Last night when it began happening, I disconnected my laptop and substituted a friend's, whose is almost identical to mine: hers is early 2011, mine is late 2011.
Hers showed no rectangles. Several facts: - viewing in fullscreen mode - using video mirroring to display on TV - using WiFi - latest OS and Silverlight software being used - no other apps open - both laptops are MBP 13' Can anyone speculate as to what these randomly sized rectangles might be?
Are they artifacts of video compression or streaming? Could they in any way indicate a failing video card? Info: 2.4GHz MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7) Jun 23, 2014 I have tested Netflix in Safari, Firefox and Chrome.
All versions are updated, as well as my mac. My MacBook Pro is less than a year old. Every time I just go to Netflix.com, it freezes my laptop, and I have to hold down the power button to shutdown. I have also deleted the Microsoft Silverlight plugin, and reinstalled it with no luck. Jun 26, 2014 I am unable to view TV shows and free films on Netflix, though it worked fine two months ago.
What can I do to correct this?
