Raw message
S7361-1253
Likely causes
- A Mac software issue is preventing Netflix playback.
Check the version before changing settings
Netflix specifies macOS 14.0 Sonoma or later for this error. Use Apple menu > About This Mac to read the version. This is the S7361-1253 remedy; Netflix's general browser requirements are a separate compatibility list.
Install an update the Mac supports
Apple recommends a backup first. Open Apple menu > System Settings > General > Software Update and install an available compatible release. Software Update only offers releases supported by that Mac, so an 'up to date' result does not guarantee it can run macOS 14.
Choose the next step by the result
If the Mac cannot update to macOS 14, Netflix suggests another supported browser, such as Chrome or Firefox. If it already runs macOS 14 or later, contact Netflix. Our recommendation is to include the complete code, OS version and browser version.
