Troubleshooting

How to fix Nine not working

When Nine itself is having trouble, these steps won't bring it back, but they will rule out anything on your side:

Your browser tries to reach nine.com.au over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

  1. Test another connection

    Load a different site or app on the same device. If that fails too, fix the Wi-Fi or mobile data before you reload Nine.

  2. Open Nine in a private window

    In Chrome, use the three-dot menu > New Incognito window; on a phone, use the same menu > New Incognito tab. If the article or video loads there, an extension or saved cookie is the likely cause.

  3. Clear Nine's site data

    On Chrome for Android, open the three-dot menu > Settings > Site settings > All sites, find Nine, then tap Clear and reset. Reload the page.

  4. Pause content blockers

    Turn off any ad blocker or content blocker for Nine, then reload the page. If that fixes the video, allow the site in the blocker's settings or try a second browser without extensions.

While Nine is down: what to use instead

  • the Nine website Open the browser version when the app will not load; the same stories and video are there.
  • 9Now It helps for live channels and catch-up shows when the app fails before playback.
  • ABC iview Try ABC iview for live TV and on-demand programs if the service stays down and you want something to watch.
  • ABC News Check another news source for headlines and breaking stories when the site or app will not load.
Same time

Problems at the same time as Nine

Since 28 October, Nine's only spike in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.

When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

A spike is a sharp rise in problem reports from users, as the live pages showed it. Times are Central European time.

About

What happens when Nine goes down

Nine is an Australian media service with live channels, news articles, video clips, and catch-up shows on its website and apps. Viewers rely on it for live sport and news bulletins, so an outage interrupts the stream or catch-up playback you opened.

Live channels fail first: the player spins, then a playback error or a blank frame sits where the video should be, while menus and show pages still load. On-demand titles can open but refuse to start, and sign-in may loop back to the same screen. News pages often stay up while embedded clips and live bulletins fail, so the problem looks partial. You may see the website work while the TV app drops out, or one live channel fail while another plays; outages tend to hit a platform or region rather than the whole service.

Questions

Nine FAQ

Is Nine down right now?

The status at the top of this page shows whether problem reports for Nine are above their usual level. If reports are normal, try the same account on another device and network; a successful sign-in there points to a local app or connection problem.

Why does Nine keep asking for my Exchange password?

An expired session or a server-side password change can make the app ask again. Re-enter the current password in the account settings; if the app still rejects it, remove the account and add it back with the same server details.

Why does Nine say my license is not recognized after I paid?

The license is tied to the store account that bought it, so a different Google account will not restore it. Sign in with the buying account and use restore on the license screen; if that fails, clear the app cache and try again.

Why does Nine sync my calendar but not my inbox?

Folder sync settings can leave mail off while calendar sync still runs. Turn on the inbox folder in the account's sync settings; a server rule that moves new mail can also hide messages from the main view.

Why does Nine fail to connect on Wi-Fi but work on mobile data?

A work or public Wi-Fi network can block the ports the app uses for Exchange mail. Switch to mobile data to confirm the pattern; then check the network's proxy or firewall settings before you add the account again.

How we track Nine

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Nine, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Nine, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Nine doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
