Can't play a single downloaded video, with all updated softwares and O.S.

Problem : Attempting to play any downloaded iTunes video content from my iTunes Library prompts me with the following message:
Authorize Computer
This computer is not authorized to play "any iTunes Video That You Just finished downloading.m4v".
If you purchased this content you can open iTunes and authorize this computer to play this content by entering your Apple ID and Password.
Cancel Open iTunes
Now, keep in mind, iTunes has BEEN open the whole time, it was a necessary prerequisite to purchase an episode of a T.V. show from the iTunes store and download it so I could watch it before bed. So, clicking "Open iTunes", simply brings up another prompt:
Waiting for iTunes to authorize this computer to play "The Video You Just PURCHASED and DOWNLOADED.m4v"
iTunes will open and prompt you for a password. You will not be able to play the content on this computer until you successfully authorize it using iTunes.
Cancel
I decide not to cancel, and do as the Apple tells me. I wait. Id does not prompt me . . . (maybe because iTunes has been launched the whole time . . . I dunno), instead, the message just eventually disappears and iTunes is left playing a silent, grey screen for my entertainment.
I thought to check that I was running the most current updates on all software (I am), OS 10.5.5,
Quicktime Payer Version 7.5.5 (240)
Quicktime Version 7.5.5 (975)
and YES, I am running iTunes 8. Everything was playing back beautifully BEFORE I updated. NOW, I can not watch a a single purchased tv episode from 2 years ago, last week or right now.
I am signed in as the Admin. I am the ONLY user and absolute ADMINISTRATOR of this machine.
I authorized the computer from the store menu. I was told that it is already authorized. 2 computers out of 5.
I quit.
Restarted.

Opened "TV episode".
"Not Authorized" message.
I quit iTunes.

Typed /Users/Shared/SC Info and clicked Go.

Selected the SC Info folder and moved it to the Trash by choosing File > Move to Trash.
Restarted the computer and opened iTunes.
Authorized my computer to play my purchases.

FRACK ME!
I've been slaving over two computers running final cut studio, logic studio 2, ableton live, NI Komplete, DJay, Traktor scratch, safari, firefox, aperture, photoshop CS3, iPhoto, Quicktime pro, Toast, text edit, acrobat, preview, reason, avmixer pro, and Riff Works for fifteen hours. I just wanted to chill with a nice old episode of BSG, that I lost in a harddrive crash a while back and now have finally been able to D.L. from iTunes, to relax off to bed. Instead, I've spent one and a half the amout of time I would have spent with my show, jumping through the help hoops and documenting all this (I don't have T.V., I hate it. iTunes is the only way I will allow myself to watch a T.V. program . . . occasionally).
Is my brain just fried from working too hard, for too long outside the consumer realm , and missing something fundamentally obvious to iTunes users who don't work all day and night with every conceivable form of digital media? My brain is totally FRACKED now. Gotta find something to watch to unwind.

  • How do I fix an Itunes Library (Damaged) on a Mac with all current software and udates?

    I have lost my main Itunes Library.  I have one now that came straight from the music in my phone.  All playlist are gone.  75 gigs of music are gone.  the only music availible to me is the music that was in my phone.  down to 15 gigs  I have found a file that says "Itunes Library (Damaged)" but I can't do anything with it.  Of course Mac wants $ to fix it.  Is there anything I can do to remedy this disaster?  Running Imac with OS X 10.8.2, Iphone 4 w/ios6  and original Ipad with all updates.  The Iphone seems normal but is missing all playlist.  It reorganized the music.  The Ipad has no music and over half the Apps have disappeared.
    HHHHHHHEEEEEEEELLLPPPPPP!   Please!

    Assuming you have AVG then yes, a second patch has apparently been released to day which may resolve the issue. See this post for general advice.
    If you don't see the .itl file extension then don't add it to the filename of the renamed file.
    iTunes Library 2012-09-22.itl > iTunes Library.itl
    iTunes Library 2012-09-22 > iTunes Library
    My advice has generally been aimed at Windows users, but if you have AVG on a Mac and that too suffers from this issue then it is worth nothing that at one point the iTunes Library on a Mac was stored without any extension. If you match the name of the empty library file you are replacing it should work.

    At the moment, I find that I have to publish all four of my sites everytime I make a change to a single page.
    Is there a way I can publish a single webpage and replace it via the ftp?
    I'm sure I'm doing this wrong but can't seem to figure out why.

    I have just changed over from a computer that was 11 years old, running Windows 98, to a new computer running Windows XP. With my old computer I could easily download video clips, they would open and play as soon as the download had ended. Now I have to click on the download box and click on "Play". Also, when I wanted to keep a clip, I just right clicked and a menu appeared and I would then click on "Save as" or similar. Now there doesn't appear to be any way to save the clips. Apart from a faster and more powerful computer I feel I've gone backwards. Can anyone help?

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • Can i use a single ended encoder with a 7344 controller?

    Can i use a single ended encoder with a 7344 controller?

    The encoder inputs of the 7344 are ground referenced. So the answer is yes, you can use a single ended encoder with a 7344 controller. Signal connection should be straight forward.
    If you are using a UMI-7764 for signal connections please refer to the "Encoder Terminal Block" section (page 15) of the UMI User Guide. There are drawings for the signal connections for single ended and differential encoders.
    For the case that you don't have the user guide of the UMI-7764 please download it from this link:

    Hi, I've an iPad Mini with the latest version 6.0.2, a windows 7 Home Premium laptop and iTunes 11.0.1 (12), but I can't synchronize my music or videos with it. I managed to syncronize my books but thats all.
    I also have an iphone 5 and everything seems to work fine with it.
    I see all movies and music available to be sync but when I click on the sync button, the process starts, the bottom bar shows an increase in consumed space then nothing happens and the bar goes back as nothing was added.
    Please help..
    I have tried everything but nothing works.

    Thanks Sk8dreams,
    ....but I wish I could have lol like u right now..
    If I could get a free iPad everything I'd already kept my iPad connected and restarted iTunes, I think I'd have had a truckload of them by now...
    I've done all of these..
    Like I said earlier I syncd everything to my iphone5 successfully...
    I got my PDF ebooks to this same iPad... Films & Music do not seem to be getting through..
    I'm sure someone out there knows what to do..

  • I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud  how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

    I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud  how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

  • How can I get a single jar file with NetBeans?

    How can I get a single jar file with NetBeans?
    When I create the project I get these files:
    dist/lib/libreria1.jar
    dist/lib/libreria2.jar
    dist/software.jar
    The libraries that have been imported to create the project are in separate folders:
    libreria1/libreria1.jar
    libreria2/libreria2.jar
    libreria1, libreria2, dist folders are all located inside the project folder.
    I added the following code to the build.xml:
    <target name="-post-jar">
    <jar jarfile="dist/software.jar">
    <zipfileset src="${dist.jar}" excludes="META-INF/*" />
    <zipfileset src="dist/lib/libreria1.jar" excludes="META-INF/*" />
    <zipfileset src="dist/lib/libreria2.jar" excludes="META-INF/*" />
    <manifest>
    <attribute name="Main-Class" value="pacco.classeprincipale"/>
    </manifest>
    </jar>
    </target>
    Of course there is also the project folder:
    src/pacco/classeprincipale.form
    src/pacco/classeprincipale.java
    Can you tell me what is wrong? The error message I get is as follows:

    RE: "P.S. I  found it aggravating that I couldn't copy and paste text  here, it wanted me to insert as a link or an image, how do you insert plain  text?"
    I take it you tried using the "right click" menu?   That doesn't seem to work, as you noted, but, you should be able to paste text by pressing your CTRL key  and while holding it down, press the "V" letter  key.
    CTRL + C = COPY
    CTRL + X = CUT
    CTRL + V = PASTE

  • Can't play any music or videos after 7.4.3.1 upgrade

    Any body seen this type of problem after the update??
    After upgrading to iTunes 7.4.3.1 I can't play any music on my PC. iTunes allows me to select the tune piece from the library, loads the player and just sits there not advancing the song.
    If I try to play am MP3 through Windows Media Player same thing happens. I also can't play any of the video files I have on dick either. They play a few seconds worth, pause, then play a pit more and it repeats.
    Thanks
    Jay

    +If I try to play am MP3 through Windows Media Player same thing happens.+
    If two of your media players are doing that, we'd better have a look in your control panels.
    Open your "Sounds and Audio Devices" control panel. Click the "Audio" tab.
    Is the correct default device showing up in the "Sound Playback" area?
