HT4108 Unable to read a movie from my iPad to an external display

Hi everyone,
I fear the worst here. I downloaded a TV show from iTunes and watched it fine on my external display (a full blown HD tv). Then I downloaded an HD movie from the iTunes store but my iPad2 says it's unable to play protected content. What gives ???
Is there a work-around to this or does my gut-feeling tell me Apple has restricted the use of an external display for some commercial reason ?
What's the point of buying full HD content if you can't watch it on full HD gear ?
Thanks for your thoughts on this !

One workarwound is to do the following:
1. Remove the digital content from iTunes (but keep the files)
2. Rename all .m4v files to .mp4 files
3. Add the files back to iTunes
This seems to fix the problem for me
Hope this helps

  • Unable to play some movie from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up which says "cannot play movie. Please try again". Can anyone assist me? I just upgraded to iOS 7.1. Netflix not able to find problem.

    Unable to play some movies from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up "Cannot play movie. Please try again later." I contacted Netflix but have not been able the help so I am wondering if it's my iPad. I didn't have a problem before but I have recently upgraded to iOS 7.1. Also is a certain amount of storage needed to play a movie? About how much is that?

    Hello all,
    I have an iPad 2 16GB with iOS 7.0.3 and Netflix version 5.0.2. I cannot watch netflix on an External LCD monitor that I have through VGA out. I use bluetooth speakers, so the AirPlay is going to that for Audio. Before this update, this combo worked without an issue.
    So as of Friday Nov. 8/2013, I contacted Netflix support, and they said they fixed the problem on their end, and the fix is on the Apple side of things, and to contact Apple support.
    So, I contacted Apple support, and the first person I spoke to said I would have to agree to pay a $35 fee for 30 days of support to this problem since my unit is out of warranty. I said this isn't a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and I'm not willing to pay to fix a problem you created. So I got a Senior Level advisor on the line, and she was helpful, and she's looking into the issue for me and said she'll contact me sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov. 12 or 13) to let me know of the issue.
    Here's the thing: this is a combination of Netflix and iOS not working correctly with any of the Apple Authorized Dongles. This is truly a code error that some hot shot programmer had major oversight on, and their management didn't catch it either. There was no reason for Netflix to rush to get this Netflix update going until Apple sorted out the bugs in iOS 7.
    Anyway, if I hear anything from Donna (the advisor), I'll post it and let you guys know. In the mean time, good luck!

  • "Error: Final Cut Pro was unable to read the movie file just captured"

    Hello everyone!
    We had a computer crash while we were working on Final Cut Pro and backing up some media to a hard drive.
    Since then, whenever we "capture' video footage and hit the escape key to stop capturing - we get -
    "Error: Final Cut Pro was unable to read the movie file just captured"
    We reinstalled the Final Cut Pro software all over again thinking that maybe the software got corrupted and we also rectified any disk permissions for the hard drives.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    You eventually want to figure out how that happened and make sure you fix it.
    Since then, whenever we "capture' video footage and hit the escape key to stop capturing - we get -
    "Error: Final Cut Pro was unable to read the movie file just captured"

    You reformatted the external drive, yes? You might not have used the correct initialization setting. Should be Macintosh HFS, journalling is optional. Or you have a drive formatted for Winderz.
    Aside from incorrect drive formatting, we have seen this error if the capture is incomplete or improperly terminated.
    It's not an FCP issue, it's hardware.

  • When I try to share a project to theater I get the message Your Theater could not be opened.There was a problem reading your movies from iCloud and the project does not share. Can anyone help?

    When I try to share a project to theater I get the message Your Theater could not be opened.There was a problem reading your movies from iCloud and the project does not share. Can anyone help?

    Set up iMovie Theater and iCloud
    In order to take full advantage of the capabilities of iMovie Theater, you must be signed in to iCloud. If you are signed in to iCloud, movies and trailers shared to iMovie Theater are automatically uploaded to iCloud. You can also turn off automatic uploading, and upload just the movies and trailers you want, or delete individual movies and trailers from iCloud. For more information about the Theater, see iMovie Theater overview.
    If you sign out of your iCloud account on your Mac, all iCloud movies disappear from the Theater, but they are not deleted; the movies reappear when you sign in again. If you ever run out of space in iCloud, an alert icon appears in the top-right corner of your movie, indicating that you can’t upload new movies. For more information, click the icon. After you upgrade your iCloud storage or clear space, your movies automatically appear in iCloud again.
    Hide
    Set up automatic iCloud uploading
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and click iCloud.
    Make sure you’re signed in, and then select the Documents & Data checkbox.
    Click the Options button next to Documents & Data.
    Make sure the iMovie checkbox is selected.
    In iMovie, choose iMovie > Preferences.
    Select the “Automatically upload content to iCloud” checkbox.
    To turn off automatic uploading, deselect the checkbox.

  • ASDM is unable to read the configuration from ASA.

    Earlier today I was configuring the Cisco ASA (7.2(2)) using the ASDM, but after a reboot of the appliance I now get the following:
    ASDM is unable to read the configuration from ASA.
    This happens shortly after ?Loading running configuration from the device? appears in the ASDM status window.
    I have tried restarting both the appliance and my workstation, but the issue persists. I have also tried clearing the ASDM cache, but that doesn?t help either. The issue occurs whether I used the Cisco ASDM Launcher or the web interface.
    SSH access to the appliance works fine.
    Thanks for any assistance (why is it that Cisco?s GUIs always have issues?!?).

    I have exactly the same issue , SSH works fine but ASDM and Web interface reply with that error message "ASDM is unable to read the configuration from ASA".
    My ASA is a 5520 ver 7.1(2) with ASDM 5.1(2)
    Could it be something related to Java ?
    Thanks for any hint.

  • Tomcat unable to read accented characters from MySQL

    Folks,
    Can anyone help with me this problem?
    It seems that my version of Tomcat is unable to read accented characters from my MySQL Database.
    I've checked in the Database and the characters are all correctly represented there. But when, in my servlet code, I do:
    String author = results.getString("author_surname");If the String contains any accented character then the character shows as a '?'. (Even before it gets to the JSP - I'm writing the results straight to catalina.out).
    Looking around these forums I found that some people suggested adding
    ?useUnicode=TRUE&characterEncoding=UTF-8;to the end of my jdbc url. As in:
    <ResourceParams name="jdbc/connection">
    //a whole load of other params
      <parameter>
        <name>url</name>
         <value>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/bookshop?useUnicode=TRUE&characterEncoding=UTF-8</value>
      </parameter>
    </ResourceParams>inside my server.xml
    But it doesn't seem to make any difference. In addition, I doubt I even need to use Unicode as the accents I need are only: ����� etc.
    (Incidentally, writing that line into my server.xml, tomcat complains that it should finish with a semi-colon. Is that correct? Even if I put in the semi-colon, it still complains!!)
    Any suggestions on this would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    HI,
    From http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96529/ch9.htm
    My understanding is the JDBC Api converts the string from the database to UTF-16.. If so is there any way to disable the UTF-16 encoding at JDBC API?That's exactly what it's supposed to do. There isn't even any concept of what it would mean to disable that: Java characters are UTF-16 representations of Unicode code-points, so there isn't anything else it could do.
    I still suspect the JDBC part is working correctly and your writing-to-file isn't. I found this quote in the Wikipedia article on Windows-1256:
    Windows-1256 is a code page used to write Arabic (and possibly some other languages that use Arabic script, like Persian) under Microsoft Windows. This code page is not compatible with ISO 8859-6 and MacArabic encodings.So was there a particular reason you chose Cp1256 and not ISO-8859-6 as the charset to write to the file with?

    Not really. Using the correct Digital Av adapter and connecting the iPad to the Tv through one of its HDMI ports is all it takes. Of course making sure the correct input is selected in the Video source selection on the TV.

    I've downloaded a movie on my ipad and I've hooked up my apple tv.  Why can't i whatch the movie from my ipad through my apple tv?  I tried synching my ipad to see if, when synched, I would see the movie on my computer in itunes.  No luck there.  What am I doing wrong?  Why is it showing in my itunes on my ipad but the movie has disappeared when I look at my itunes on my computer so that I can watch it via Apple TV?

    If you rented it directly on the Apple TV then you can't transfer it off and you have it watch it on that - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
    You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.

    How can I delete a watched rented movie from my Ipad before its expiration date?

    Hello, K M Cartwright. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    You definitely can delete the movie prior to the expiration date.  However, the movie will automatically disappear from your iTunes library 24 (or 48) hours after you've begun viewing it.  Here are the steps on how to delete iTunes media.

  • How can i do to upload my movies from the ipad to the i cloud?

    How can i do to upload my movies from the ipad to the i cloud?

    If these are videos taken with your iPad, you can only add them to iCloud by adding them to a shared stream, as discussed here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99.
    If these were movies purchased from the iTunes store, they are already in iCloud and can be redownloaded again in many countries for free as long as the movie is still available and the studio allows it.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 and iTunes in the cloud availability by country here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085.
    To be safe, import them to your iTunes library so you know you have them.  To do this, connect your iPad to your computer, open iTuens and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Then you can sync them back to your iPad later if you ever need to.
