Apr 18, 2020. I'm trying to go to Netflix in Safari. Seems simple. Tried to add it with my admin password. Turned off fraudulent sites warning in Safari preferences, Still nothing. Right-click or hold Control on your keyboard and select Silverlight.pkg. How do I download movies onto my Mac? Stream the movie. To start, click on the “Play Video” link. To download the movie, press the CTRL button on your keyboard while clicking on the desired video link, then click “Download Linked File” on the resulting pop-up menu. Oct 12, 2016. Once the download is complete, open the latest Silverlightnew.dmg file and run Silverlight.pkg. Accept any security prompts shown by the Software Installer. Complete Installation.
Because Microsoft will be discontinuing support for Silverlight, the Silverlight version of Navigator Web is being phased out. All CTI Navigator users should use Web II(HTML version) unless there is a specific need to temporarily use Navigator Web Silverlight (such as to import and convert Matchmakers from Desktop Navigator into Navigator Web format). However, until Microsoft stops Silverlight services, Navigator Web Silverlight will continue to run.
Click on the topic in the list below to go directly to the appropriate instructions:
General Steps to Fix Silverlight
Silverlight is a browser plug-in (also called an add-on or add-in). If Silverlight does not install (or repeatedly prompts to install), or does not run properly in your browser (displaying either a System Exception error, an error 4001, a blank page, or a blank frame without the menu items in Navigator Web), progressively implement each of the following steps until the problem is resolved:
If Silverlight is installed, enabled, and the browser's temporary Internet browsing files have been completely cleared, but Silverlight does not work properly in any browser on this computer, Un-install Silverlight and then install the latest version. If uninstalling and reinstalling Silverlight does not resolve the problem, see the 'Clean Corrupted Silverlight Installation in Windows ' or 'Fix Silverlight in Mac' section below as appropriate.
If Silverlight runs correctly in one browser but not correctly in another browser on your computer, the non-supporting browser itself may need to be reset, restored, un-installed and re-installed, or replaced by an earlier version. For instructions on managing browsers, see 'Fix Internet Browser Issues' in the Related Articles at the end of this web page.
Verify Silverlight Version Installed
To verify the version of Silverlight installed on a computer, click here (or go to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx). At this website Microsoft also provides install and uninstall instructions, and a chart of compatible operating systems and browsers for the version of Silverlight installed on your computer. If your installed version is earlier than the 'current' (latest) version, you can click on the 'Current version' number to install it on your computer if desired.
To verify the version of Silverlight installed on a Mac, you can click Help and select 'Installed Plug-ins' in the Safari browser menu. Then scroll down to view the Silverlight Plug-in information.
Install Silverlight
Download Microsoft's latest Silverlight browser plug-in at 'Download Microsoft Silverlight' (or select the desired version under Download Selected Version of Silverlight in the Related Articles at the end of this web page) using the method appropriate for your Internet browser and computer operating system. The basic installation steps are:
Note: Some security programs (such as STOPzilla, VIPRE and Webroot) need to be temporarily disabled to allow Silverlight to install properly.

Enable Silverlight
Normally add-ons/plug-ins such as Silverlight are automatically enabled when installed. However, they can be disabled manually, by other programs, or by browser updates.
Internet Explorer (IE). To ensure that Silverlight is installed and enabled to run in Internet Explorer (8and later):
If using software rendering does not fix IE's 'stopped working' error, re-set Internet Explorer to its defaults (as described here). If the 'stopped working' error persists, set IE to use Compatibility View for the website (as described here).
Firefox. To ensure that Silverlight is installed and enabled to run in Firefox:
To activate a plugin (such as Silverlight or IE Tab) on a web page in Firefoxon a Mac, you can either:
If you cannot type in a text or data entry box for CTI Navigator Web in Firefox on a Mac, activate the Silverlight plug-in for the current web page as described above. Otherwise, use the Safari browser in unrestricted mode on a Mac.
▲ Back to the index at the Top of this web page
Chrome on Windows. Starting with version45, Chrome will no longer support legacy plug-ins such as Silverlight in Windows. Therefore to enable Silverlight to run in Chrome on Windows, always add the IE Tab extension to your Chrome (as described here).
Prior to version 45, Chrome can be set to enable Silverlight to run in Windows as follows:
Chrome on Mac. Starting with version 42, Chrome no longer supports plug-ins such as Silverlight on a Mac.
Opera. To ensure that Silverlight is installed and enabled to run in the Opera browser:
Note: For continuing Internet security updates in Windows XP and Vista, run Silverlight in the Opera browser (rather than Internet Explorer or Chrome which no longer issue security updates for versions of Windows no longer supported by Microsoft).
Safari. To ensure that Silverlight is installed and enabled to run in Safari (6.0 and earlier):
Safari Plug-in Manager in Mac (OS X)
To provide an extra level of security, Safari automatically sandboxes (see sandbox note below)all plug-ins (such as Adobe Flash and Microsoft Silverlight) to limit their access to key system resources. However, Safari (6.1 and later) includes a plug-in manager that allows users to set the level of security to be enforced for specific plug-ins, either on a per website basis (such as just for the website where CTI Navigator Web runs for your MLS) or globally (for all other websites).
To set Safari to allow the Silverlight plug-in to run in unrestricted mode specifically on CTI’s website for your MLS (which is needed to support CTI Navigator Web functions performed in the browser on your computer):
System Exception Error: if Silverlight cannot access needed computing resources (such as extra working memory), CTI Navigator Web functions may fail and display a 'System Exception error' message. System Exception errors may or may not be fatal. Other Navigator Web functions may continue to operate correctly, and the failed function may recover if needed resources become unblocked or become available (such as by closing other browser screens or apps to free up working memory). However, to avoid System Exception error interruptions, always set Safari's Preferences to run Silverlight in Un-safe mode (as described above).
Sandbox Note. Sandboxing is a security mechanism to tightly restrict access to computer memory, operating system resources, and user files for unknown or untrusted code or unknown or untrusted websites.
Permissions Options:
Note that third-party plug-in managers (such as ClickToPlugin) may interfere with or override settings in Safari’s plug-in manager.

Is Netflix App for Mac & Windows Available?
The short answer is NO for Mac Users. Netflix is still reluctant to make a standalone app for Mac. A couple of years ago, when Netflix came out with an official app for Windows 10, Mac users got their hopes up of having a Netflix app on the macOS platform sooner or later. Since then, Netflix officials have cited a couple of times that building a MacOS specific Netflix viewing platform is in their to-do list currently.
However, it’s not an impossible task to view the awesome shows of Netflix in your Macbook. You might not get the well-optimized and enhanced experience of a native Netflix app but, with the help of internet browsers, you can still access your Netflix from your Macbook.

As you can see, streaming Netflix for Mac & Windows isn’t a tough process to replicate. You just need to follow some easy steps, and you’ll be able to enjoy the breathtaking video content of Netflix.
However, we’ve seen users complaining about their Netflix experience in Safari. This is mainly due to some common issues. Netflix, through browsers, are not as reliable as an official Netflix app.
How to Fix Netflix Not Working on Mac?
There’s no other thing more frustrating than finding Netflix having trouble loading in your Macbook. Netflix streaming problems on Mac are widespread. We’ve prepared a complete troubleshooting guide for all of the issues you might face during Netflix Mac access. But before that, Let’s take a look at the most common issues you might encounter on your Macbook as well as on your Windows PC.
Common Issues in Netflix for Mac & Windows
These following issues are quite common and can be seen in both Mac and Windows browsers while accessing Netflix.
If you’re a pre-2011 Mac owner and you updated the browser to Safari 12, then you might face a plug-in issue. The 2018 update, Safari 12, doesn’t support Silverline plug-ins, which pre 2011 Macs need to play Netflix.
These are the issues you might face. Now let’s move on to the solution part.
Netflix for Mac Troubleshooters
We are going to explain the top three fixes for Netflix viewing issues in Mac. If you apply these tricks, your viewing experience will greatly improve.
Use HTML5 to View Netflix Contents
Silverlight plugins have lots of issues hampering user experience. The most famous one occurs for Macs made before 2011. To eliminate those issues, you just need to shift to HTML5 Player from Silverlight.
Netflix introduced the HTML5 player in 2014. The best thing about the HTML5 player is, it can play content in 1080P.
To ensure you’re viewing Netflix with the help of an HTML5 player, ensure the following.
Newer Mac: Upgrade your PC to the latest version of macOS. If your PC is running above Mac 10.10 Yosemite or above, then Safari automatically streams in HTML5.
Older Mac: If you’re using an older Macbook, you have to use Google Chrome to access HTML5 that, too, after forcing Chrome to play on HTML5. Open Netflix in Chrome and navigate to Netflix Playback Setting. Then select “Prefer HTML5 instead of Silverlight” option.
Clear Browser Cookies for Netflix
When your browser cookies get corrupted or outdated, you might face a couple of problems streaming Netflix. You need to clear cookies in this scenario. Thanks to Netflix, this is pretty easy to fix, however.
Step 1: Open netflix.com/clearcookies from your browser
Step 2: Netflix automatically clears out all the existing cookies
Step 3: Log in to your Netflix account to continue streaming
Use Netflix Streaming Devices
If you’re frequently having issues while opening Netflix in your Mac PC and want to get rid of these issues once and for all, then you should buy a streaming device that supports the Netflix app. Streaming devices have the ability to stream Netflix without a glitch.
Nowadays, we have multiple attractive options in streaming devices. Buy one of your choices and plug it into the USB port of your Mac, and that it. Not only these modern-day devices are much more efficient at accessing Netflix, but they can also stream other popular video streaming platforms like Amazon Prime, Disney+, ESPN, HBO Now, and Hulu.
We hope now you got it right how to download and run Netflix for Mac & Windows. Now let’s move onto helping our viewer with Windows PC.
How to Watch Netflix on Windows?
Unlike Mac, you have a proper app to access Netflix in Windows. This official app is only available in Windows 8 or later versions. If you’re using Windows 7 or any earlier version of Windows, you can stream Netflix from a browser, just like you do on a Mac. Setting up the Netflix app in your Windows PC is a fairly simple process. Just follow our guide thoroughly, and you will be good to go.
Netflix for Windows App Set-Up Procedures
Netflix is available in Microsoft Store for Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 users. Before accessing it in the Microsoft store, make sure you have signed into the store with your valid Microsoft login details. Then follow these steps.
Step 1: From the Start Menu, go to Microsoft store
Step 2: Navigate to the Search option
Step 3: Type Netflix on Search Box and press Search
Step 4: Select Netflix app from the result page
Step 5: Press Get, situated on the right side of your screen
Step 6: After the installation process completes, go to Search Menu and search for Netflix
Step 7: After finding it, double click on the app
Step 8: Go to Sign In page and enter your Netflix credentials carefully
Step 9: Upon entering your login details, press Sign In

This whole process of getting Netflix is as convenient as getting an app on your smartphone. It doesn’t require any application file download and later runs it as administrator. You just need to press the Install button, and the app automatically gets installed.
Although the task of streaming Netflix isn’t as easy for older Microsoft OS users. They can’t get their hands onto the Netflix app. Here is a brief discussion about streaming Netflix in old Windows OS.
Netflix for Windows 7 or Earlier
As the Microsoft store doesn’t exist in Windows 7 or earlier Windows versions, you can not get the official Netflix app. You need to use your browsers to access Netflix. Here’s the whole process in simple steps.
Step 1: Open a Browser (preferably Google Chrome) on your PC
Step 2: Go to address bar and put www.netflix.com before pressing Enter
Step 3: After Netflix opens, Sign In with your credentials to stream Netflix on your PC
This is as simple as it sounds. However, your experience on a web browser will not be as great as the Netflix app. Still, many people binge-watch their favorite shows on a browser. So, this is a workable option to consider if you can get upgraded to Windows 8 or later.
To have an effortless viewing, you should use the HTML5 player. Otherwise, you might face some issues. HTML5 is supported on Chrome V68 or later, and Opera V55 or later in Windows 7. However, you can only stream up to 720P in your browser.
