TV show won't play because Quicktime doesn't work with iTunes version

I downloaded episode 1 of Mad Men.  When I try to play it I get this error:  This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes
I read some of the other support discussions and tried to do 2 things:
(1) I tried to set iTunes to open in 32 bit mode.  But, when I open iTunes after doing so, I get an error that iTunes must be opened in 64 bit mode.  So, that didn't work.
(2) I tried to remove the movie, but instead of being asked whether I still wanted to keep it, it just asked me if I wanted to "hide" the movie.  So, I'm not sure what this means. 
How can I watch the show I downloaded?  And, please provide really explicit instructions because I can't seem to follow the complicated directions some of the super smart people leave on these discussion groups.
I have a Macbook Pro 15 inch retina screen computer running Yosemite 10.10.3.  I have iTunes 12.1.2.27.
Thanks,
Cameron

I had the same problem as teacher_k reported and I am happy to report that after 2 days of fighting it seems I solved it.
Symptom was: when playing a movie trailer from iTunes on a HDTV or on the computer either nothing happens or a black screen opens and no video or audio is perceived. I have a Win7 laptop.
I am not sure if all of these steps were necessary but at the end it started working:
1. I hope it is obvious that you need a connection to a HDMI TV (at least for some content that is protected)  . Ensure that your TV display correctly shows your screen when not playing movies (fixing resolution, refresh rates, etc.)
2. Ensure you have latest rev of QT and that it is the default player for movies (by just launching it and answer yes to that same question if appears)
3. Follow the instructions  in Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues as Whatcheck said
4. The last tmagic step hat made it work was based on Patriciafromor: deauthorize/authorize the computer, Just in case I also logged off and back into my AppleID account and restarted iTunes and voilà

  • Latest Quicktime update doesn't work with older versions of Safari.

    I have an iMac with Panther 10.3.9. I've downloaded and installed all the updates regularly. That last update of Quicktime doesn't work with Safari! All I get is the big Q. Any ideas?

    Hi
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Check your Quicktime settings in System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced panel.
    Mime settings>make sure nothing is checked in the Miscellaneous box.
    Advance panel>Enable Flash ought to be selected.

  • When attempting launch of photoshopcc,I get a box with "could not load the MMX core routines module because it does not work with this version of PS... what does this mean and how do I correct it?

    I did a search on my system and found the Photoshop has a fastcore plug-in.  Creative Cloud includes a subscription version of CS6 version 13.1.2.   I do not know if you installed that or not.  The cc un-install may have done something.  You may need to use Adobe Cleaner then Install The Perpetual CS6 version of Photoshop  CS6 version 13.0.6 Mac or Photoshop  CS6 version 13.0.1.3 PC and not the subscription CS6 extended version 13.1.2.  Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6   If you need to download the CS6 installer Download CS6 products.
    You may also be able to recover your cs6 using an old system backup

  • Ipod nano 3rd generation doesn't play music and doesn't synchronize with itunes

    I have a ipod nano 3rd generation ( 8 GB) and it suddenly stopped playing music. The ipod doesn't  play music even if I choose another song and the ipod doesn't synchronize with itunes anymore. I did a reset of the ipod and I installed itunes new but the synchronization doesn't works.

    Get a flashlight and make sure there is no obstruction/dirt/debris in the Nano headphone jack. Be sure you plug the headphones all the way in, the plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the Nano.

  • Podcast app doesn't work with iTunes this made me want back to 5.1.1

    Apple may want to make podcast more popout. they made a NEW app "podcasts"
    but I start to hate apple to do this just like the iOS 6 maps.
    the new Podcasts app is desinged to be work alone (without iTunes)
    it can download subscribe find,  ok that's cool but it just won't work with iTunes. maybe apple have data shows more people are iDevice centered.
    But I'm an iTunes centered user. I use iTunes to search subscribe download and DELETE Podcast that I've watched. and I LOVE THIS WAY! I DON"T WANT MY PHONE TO Manage or store podcasts!
    back to iOS 5. every moming, I sync my iPhone with my iTunes, 1 new unplayed podcasts from every show was synced to my iPhone. and I play them on the way to my company.
    at night I watch some other shows on my mac. them sync with iPhone. all played podcasts will not remain on iPhone, and marked as played in iTunes and ready to be deleted. iTunes only keep 4 episodes.   all things is automatic. but iOS 6 Changes everything.  It won't works with iTunes, and music can't play podcasts anymore. I have to Manually subscribe on iPhone again! and Manualy delete on iPhone and Manualy delete on iTunes.
    THIS IS TOTOALLY Unacceptable... for me. My phone or iPad have very limited spaces, and 3G data plan.
    Use iTunes means, no 3G needed, download only once!
    Use Podcast app and sync over iCould means 3G data and download as the same number as yours devices. for me I have to download a  same show for 3 times.
    I Hope there is some way that can make the old music app back.

    I agree, i tried to do what i always do at my office today on my ipod touch, connect to the wifi at the end of the day to download new podcast episodes for my subway ride home, and instead, iTunes with the ios6 update installed yesterday won't let me do that, it tells me i need the new Podcasts app, fine, i go install it, and then when i go back to music, it tells me my podcasts are moved, i go to the new app, so over i go.  The new app is slow, crashes twice trying to get into it, i can't see any way to make a playlist, i managed to download some new episodes, but can't see how to make a playlist still.  I found out how to delete it (and doing so brought back Podcasts and my podcast playlist to the music app, huzzah!!)
    The Podcasts app is not the quality i want from Apple.  I like my ipod, i really do, but it seems Apple is convinced that whenever they make a change they think will make things better, they delete old ways of doing things that work for us, the real people in the world using their devices.  I like the notion of a stand alone app for finding and downloading podcasts, but why does that necessitate removing them from the music app to play since primarily i download all my new podcasts at night, listen to some on my computer while working at home, put them in an itunes playlist in the order i want to listen to them, then sync each morning with my PC to have whatever i haven't listened to in a playlist so it can play all day at work while i'm there.
    Hopefully Apple can learn from this and the ongoing Maps debacle to maybe not be so quick to tell their users how we have to use the devices, and instead spend some time listening to how we use the devices to make our experience better rather than enforcing how they want it used on us.

  • HT4914 Apple TV 3 with OS 6 doesn't work with iTunes Match.

    My Apple TV only shows me my purchases from iTunes Store
    All my computers work with iTunes Match perfect
    Have you any ideas?

    My ongoing monologue.
    So I have now discovered that when syncing my ATV with my iMac, it actually IS continuing to sync although ATV disappears from the device list in iTunes.
    I had been thinking that the sync process was failing because the ATV would disappear, as would the sync progress bar at the top of iTunes. So I would quit iTunes again, and the syncing would start, but then it would blip out and disappear again, always after about a minute and 45 seconds.
    I tried an experiment today, syncing only my music (about 2,000) songs, and it synced up perfectly. ATV seems to only disappear from iTunes when syncing big files like movies and TV shows (HD).

  • My iPod doesn't work with iTunes 10. Help please!

    Greetings to all!
    Help please! I updated to iTunes10, and now my ipod nano 4th generation doesn't work with it. Actually the "Devices" menu doesn't show up, although the operating system recognizes it. What should i do? I refuse to buy another one. Should i install an older version of itunes? If i do so, may i loose my musics and stuff that i have in library?
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Laters,

    You should always have backup of your iTunes folder.
    Downgrading to iTunes 9 will not cause you to lose your music etc.
    Have you checked via Software Update in the System Preferences for any updates.
    Have you tried the 5 R's for the iPod?

  • Flash still won't play files in Firefox 4, even with latest version 10

    Despite what a Firefox support article states, Adobe Flash will not play videos in Firefox 4, even after Flash has been upgraded to the most recent version of Flash 10 (10.3.181.14). That is because the problem is not with Flash, it is in fact a problem with Firefox 4 (what a surprise!). After trying all the useless suggestions here, I finally just went back to Firefox 3.16. Flash had always worked for me prior to switching to Firefox 4. Sure enough, no sooner did I go back to 3.16, Flash immediately began playing videos properly again. Same latest version of Flash, old version of Firefox equal proper video operation. Any version of Flash, Firefox 4 equals no videos play.

    I've upgraded from flash 10.0.45 to 11.2.202.235, using Synaptic.
    Then, when i saw it didn't work, i've returned to 10.0.45 and upgraded it to 11.2.202.233, no success.
    There is an screenshot from a Youtube page, as you can see the video doesn't work, even if i wait a few minutes...

  • Smart playlists won't play on video ipod after upgrade to itunes version 7

    Upgraded to ITunes version 7 on Windows XP using Video Ipod with firmware level 1.2. Resynced Ipod after Itunes upgrade. Now when I hit ipod's play button on a smart playlist, nothing happens. If I hit play button from itunes, no problems...
    Is this a known issue with a solution? I was unable to find a solution in the forum. Thank you for any assistance.

    This problem only occurs when podcasts are included in the playlist. Full restoration of IPOD did not resolve problem.

  • Latest version of Quicktime doesn't work with FCS on Windows 7

    When I access a Final Cut Server on Windows 7, with latest version of QuickTime installed, I can't watch proxies with QuickTime. Nothing happens when I attempt to watch it.
    Any idea how come?

    When you click on the proxy icon for an asset, does the "Search All Jobs" view show a "downloading" message indicating that the proxy is being transferred to your local machine?
    Also, what specific software versions (Quicktime and FCS) are you working with?

  • Palm doesn't work with iTunes

    Helping out a friend. She has a PalmTungsten E that she uses to listen to eBooks from Audible. There are several books stored in iTunes at the moment.
    When she first used her Palm with iTunes, she would connect the Palm to her iBook's USB port, and it would appear in the iTunes Source list. Then just drag the book files to the Palm's iTunes icon.
    Her Palm no longer appears in iTunes when it is connected to the iBook. However, it does appear in iTunes on my PowerBook.
    We tried using Missing Sync to move books to the Palm, using the iTunes Conduit, but that hasn't worked, either. I did manage to move the book files onto the Palm using the Backup Conduit, but the Audible player doesn't recognize them.
    Along with these symptoms, an error message now often appears when Quitting iTunes. It appears even though iTunes is merely Launched and then Quit, with no additional iTunes activity. It says:
    Application Launch Failure
    The Application "Transport Monitor" could not be launched because of a shared library error:
    "H<transportmonitor><transportmonitor><Hotsynclib.PPC><_ct_libCTransportRelMacFP18OpaqueTransportRefUc>"
    Re-installing iTunes has not apparently changed any of the symptoms. I have also previously tried re-installing iSync and the Palm Desktop software; latest versions of everything. It seems to me that the only time I've seen the Palm appear in iTunes was soon after an initial re-install of the Palm Desktop. But it didn't stick, and didn't happen again, even after yet another re-install of Desktop.
    Seems like the first order of business is to deal with that error message ... though I'll be happy for any suggestions I can get. I'm not sure which way to turn just now ...
    Thanks in advance for any wisdom anyone may be able to share ... !

    well, after a lot of pain and suffering, i finally solved one part of your friend's problem......after upgrading to an Intel-based Mac Mini, i found that my PDA no longer showed up in the sources for iTunes. what finally worked (just by chance!!), was to have iTunes open, and launch "Drive Mode" on the PDA....then, both the main memory and the internal card on my PDA (Tungsten T5) showed up in the sources, and i was able to drag my Audible files to the PDA - i then had to reorganize a bit, to get the files into the Audible folder, because they defaulted to the Music folder, and wouldn't show up in Audible until they were in the correct location.
    as to the Transport Monitor error - i had that quite a bit when i first migrated to t he intel-based mac, and i finally got it to disappear, but i can't remember the steps required. i suspect that in the end i had to do a hard reset and start from scratch.

  • Could not load the mmxcore routines module because it does not work with this version of photoshop?

    I'm getting the above message when starting Photoshop CC 2014. Click OK & it loads fine but just a little annoying. Seems to have happened since the Aug 5 update. Photoshop shows as version 14.0.0 release although CC App shows it as up to date. Should it not be version 14.1 ?

    According to Adobe - see here: Adobe Photoshop CC new features | Buy Photoshop CC   'Photoshop CC 14.2' was released on Jan 15th 2014 but the latest version released on 5 August 2014 is 'Photoshop CC (2014.1)'
    As far as I'm aware, after 14.2 , releases were name '2014 release' so the 2014.1 release is indeed the latest version - there have been two updates since 14.2.1
    However, this still doesn't explain why mine has shows as 14.0.0 and 'up to date'  Anyone know how I can get it to update to the latest version??

  • HT4061 Drag and drop function in Windows 8 doesn't work with iTunes.

    How to import music files from Windows 8 to iTunes 11.0.3 x64? Drag and drop function doesn't work. Thank you!

    > Straight drag and drop to PS produced a warning message so, when I then tried to drag on to the PS task bar button, I got the Ø cursor but on moving into the PS window and releasing the mouse button there, the file opened.
    That's the strangest behavior that I would imagine. Are you using the default vista aero theme or you have turned down or using custom theme and visual effects?
    > it needs to be pointed out that this is a really bad habit that will smack you in the face one day...
    I don't understand what you mean. If you are concerned about viruses, in my understanding copying and opening a file from the internet which is what "Save image as" does, is less safe than coping and pasting pixels. Copying and pasting pixels is the same as coping and pasting text from your web browser, it can't execute hidden code. If that was possible everybody will get viruses at the moment text or pixels are displayed on your browser.
    By the way when you view a page from the internet, image files are already downloaded in the temp folder of your computer but only the browser uses them unless you open them from there and use in another program. So if you have a virus protection the images are already scanned.

  • Synchronisation doesn't work with itunes. Comment : synchro will continue when PC will be available

  • Play count still doesn't work with 3.1.3. APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS!

    APPLE! PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM!
    I am getting tired of having to try an remember what episode of my shows I was on! I'm an avid anime watcher who queues up whole series' on my iPod Touch 3g 32GB and go to watch 12 episodes or so, connect the iPod, disconnect, go back to series, pow! they all report they are unwatched! Btw, I use Manually Manage Music settings, not auto sync.
    Same thing with my music. I know I have listened to one song at least 40 times, and still the play count is at 2. Because iTunes remembers to count it but can't remember to count the iPod's count when it counts.
    This is probably a REALLY EASY FIX, you guys are just so lazy to not fix this problem and say that Apple products have the best customer support?! If you want to boast that please fix the simple problems! I have a 70 episode series I'm starting soon and I don't want to have to right down where I left off.
