10.8.5 ITUNES WILL NOT PLAY MOVIES DOWNLOADED FROM ITUNES

Downloaded the new iTunes last night and it seems to work well with music but it will not play movies I've downloaded from the iTunes store. The sore works, Radio works, I can buy from the store but movies I have from iTunes (Star Trek, The Incredibles, ST: Into Darkeness among others) strat then crash. I get a message about an error with a plug in (FX I think) that has failed or is not found.
Anybody else seeing this? Any solutions?
Thanks in advance.

Okay, I think I found my problem. I have SRS iWOw installed and the FX plugin is part of that. If I disable iWow all movies play as they are supposed to.
Looks like I need to contact SRS for an update/upgrade or dump it and find another sound enhancer app.
Thanks fo looking.

    My new itouch5 will not sync movies purchased from itunes thatsare saved in my itunes library.

    Mike, Hi
    Thanks for yoursuggestions. I did see that article, tried correcting the permissions, looked at a few of the other things, but this doesn't make sense. This would only be the second computer that had these purchased songs on them. SO the 5 computer limit should have nothing to do with it.
    The weird thing is how the computer tells me that it's not authorized to play the purchased songs and gives me the opportunity to put in either an AOL code or an Apple ID code to authorize this computer to play the song. I do it. I get a message that, congratulations, the computer has been successfully authorized to play the song. But then it simply does not play and when you try to play it it just recycles right back to the original message saying that the computer is not authorized.

  • I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes.  Before iOS 8, movies played fine.  After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive.  Anyone else have a similar issue?

    I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes.  Before iOS 8, movies played fine.  After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive.  Anyone else have a similar issue?

    I checked with SanDisk's own online support and they indicate that they have notified Apple of the issue.
    According to SanDisk, the problem lies with Apple not having the iOS 8 version of the Safari browser having DRM decoding enabled that the Media Drive relies upon to decode and play iTunes DRM titles. Non DRM encoded videos will play in the browser.
    DRM audio is not effected as this is handled by the native iOS music app.
    As of the date of this post SanDisk have not been given a timeframe by Apple for this issue to be resolved.
    I hope that Apple resolves this issue quickly as I have a large collection of DRM video titles on a 128Mb memory card installed in the Media Drive that I am unable to view.

  • Cant play movies downloaded from Itunes

    I have 2 issues.1. I can't play movies downloaded from Itunes. It says that format is not supported. What can I do?2. I bought the WDTV three weeks ago. ABC Iview no longer supports WD products as of July 1. Not happy. Can anyone help?

    Are you seeing an error message in iTunes when this happens?
    Are you syncing the music manually, automatically or over-the-air?

  • ITunes will not play movie on PC but will on AirPlay

    Since upddating to the new iTunes software (10.0.1.2) I haven't been able to play back any movies that I have purchased on iTunes on my Windows 7 Pro computer.
    I thought that maybe my database was currupt so I created a new libary on the computer and started fresh and downloading my music and my movies that I have previously purchased.
    I still cannot play a movie on my Windows 7 Pro PC. 
    When I click on a movie, it looks like it opens the movie on the screen, the playback controls appear and you can move the timeline and see / move the different chapter names on where the movies is at. 
    The screen remains black and you do not see the sound.
    I tried turning on Airplay and that worked playing the movies from my PC to my Apple TV so that confirms the movie file is okay.
    I have tried turning off in QuickTime the Direct3D Accelleration and alos putting Quicktime in Safe Mode(GDI Only) but it still will not play.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

    I just tried downloading a previously purchased TV show and it works so maybe its just movies.

  • IPhoto will not play song purchased from iTunes in slideshow

    IPhoto reports the song as not being authorized on this computer.
    When I go to iTunes the songs are all authorized to play on this computer, and they do play in iTunes.
    Here's the message from iPhoto:
    This computer is not authorized to play "17 Good Riddance.mp4".
    If you purchased this song you can open itunes and authorize this computer to play this song by entering your Apple ID and Password".
    When I do this, nothing changes. I can repeat the process a number of times and the purchased song will not play.
    Anyone else deal with this and find a solution?

    I did the burn and re-import and that works just fine. Would like to resolve this so I do not have to do that work around though.
    Haven't posted at the iTunes forum as it seems like more of an iPhoto problem since the songs in question play fine in iTunes. It seems that iPhoto is the program having trouble with the DRM on slideshows.
    I'll check around over there though.
    Thanks everyone for such quick responses.

  • Ipod will not play anything purchased from itunes!!!

    My ipod will not play anying thing purchased from itunes. It plays ok on itunes but it skips it on my ipod. I have restored my ipod athoritized my computer and I cant find any answers in help. Please help me!!!

    See this article.
    iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.
    If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
    1. Deauthorize the computer.
    2. Create a new user in the system.
    3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
    4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
    5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
    6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
    If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.
    The following articles will help you.

  • Issue playing movies downloaded from iTunes on TV when linked to computer via HDMI cable.

    Recently I purchased the advance digital copy of "Star Trek Into Darkness" as it was it was released just in time for  moving some people into another state; we planned to watch it when we rested for the day.  After hooking my windows 7 laptop up to a Samsung flatscreen TV using an HDMI cable, iTunes refused to play the movie.  It would play when the computer was disconnected from the TV, and the same error would appear when reconnected.  The error stated that I had to be connected to an "HDCP compatible device."
    Is this some way of iTunes forbidding me from watching movies downloaded from their service when connected to an exterior device?  My computer has no issues playing other content, such as netflix, when connected to a TV. 
    For me it's pointless to buy movies now from iTunes; I feel like I've wasted $20.  Why on earth would I want to sit in front of a computer to watch it when there's a TV five times the size available? 

    Hello happylilvampyr,
    Unfortunately, this is due to a lack of HDCP support provided by the TV in use. More information regarding HDCP can be found in the following article.
    iTunes for Windows: Unable to view or play HD video content that requires HDCP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3354
    As an alternative, you can always download the movie in standard definition, which will allow for viewing on non-HDCP devices.
    When you purchase an HD video on a supported device or computer, only HD video will be downloaded. To download the SD version, you need to download the video again from your Purchased page. Conversely, if you purchase an HD video on an unsupported device, the SD version will be downloaded. Then, you will need to download the HD version from your Purchased page. Learn more about downloading previous purchases.

  • ITunes does not play music downloaded from match

    Hope this is the correct location for this...
    I have iTunes Match, I also have an iPhone 4.
    If i download music from Match on to the iPhone device, everything works fine on the iPhone.
    However, if i plug my iPhone into iTunes, go to device and select Music under my phone, the songs which were downloaded from Match to the device do not play. They just retuen with the
    If i play songs downloaded from Match on the iPhone itself, it works fine.
    iTunes is authroized, and signed in.
    Songs that are hard synced (synced with device plugged into iTunes and not downloaded from Match directly to the device) work fine.
    Any ideas?
    iPhone 4
    iOS 5.1
    Win7 32bit & 64bit (tried on 2 seperate machines, both signed into iTunes & authorized)

    First of all make sure that you have the volume turned up with the control on the right side of the iPad. You play music in the Music App - not in iTunes. If you have the volume turned up and you are using the Music App - restart or rest the iPad and see if that helps.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Itunes will not play movies... To play this movie install quick time

    I downloaded itunes on a new computer and it won't play movies.  It keeps giving me the error "This movie requires Quick Time which is not included in this version of itunes.  To play this movie install quick time."  I've installed Quick Time, uninstalled it, installed it again, tried a change and repair trick that I read about but nothing has worked...please anybody help.

    Okay ... that's left the field a bit open.
    Can you check something for me please? I'd like to try doing a "Run as administrator" on your iTunes.
    Quit iTunes first.
    In Computer, open Local Disk C: or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
    Open the "Program files" folder.
    Open the "iTunes" folder.
    Right-click on the iTunes.exe file and select "run as administrator".
    Try playing the movie now. Does it play for you without the message?

  • IPod will not play songs purchased from itunes

    my ipod will show me the album (songs, artwork, time of song, etc.) but when I press play, it just quickly skips through all the songs. So far this has only been the case with music purchased through itunes. I restored my ipod but nothing has helped thus far. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    This just happened to me on one song I purchased from iTunes (it plays fine on iTunes on my MacBook). I'm on iTunes 8.0 (haven't yet upgraded to newest version). Everything else works fine so should I do this for only one song - or is there another easier fix? I did copy the song to a cd so would it work if I just deleted the one song and imported it? Or is this a sign of a deeper problem?

  • Itunes 5 will not play music purchased from itunes music sto

    Just transferred myself from my flat panel imac to a new powerbook & Tiger - updated to 10.4.2. In itunes, all seemed to be working fine till I noticed that music I purchased in the Apple itunes music store would not play! I get a dialogue box saying "This computer is not authorized to play "xxxx". and asks me if I want to authorize it. I do so using my AOL screenname and password and then I am told "Machine authorization was successful. You have authorized this for 1 computer. You have a maximum of 5". I click OK but nothing happens. If I try to play the just-authorized song, I get the same screen ansking me to go thru the authorization process again - to no avail. So strange that this just happens with the music sitting right there in the "Purchased" folder. itunes 5 rejecting its own children. What to do?

  • IPod will not play songs bought from iTunes more than once

    None of the songs I have purchased from the iTunes Store play on my iPod. They play on my Mac, my wife's Mac and my wife's iShuffle, but not my iPod. My iPod is running the lastest software version, and i have the latest iTunes version.
    If I format, reset, restore and reload my music, HOORAH!! they play...ONCE. Then I have to do that all over again if I want to play them again. The songs say they are there, they say they are taking up hdd space, but if I try to play the iPod just thinks about it for a second or two and then skips over the song.
    I have never had any problem with songs ripped off my CD collection.
    Apple are completely useless and offer no assistance and what i have been able to find on their website tells me to do what I've done. Does anyone have any ideas how to make my iPod compatible with the iTunes store?

    This just happened to me on one song I purchased from iTunes (it plays fine on iTunes on my MacBook). I'm on iTunes 8.0 (haven't yet upgraded to newest version).

  • Apple TV won't play movie downloaded from iTunes

    I have an Apple TV (1st gen) and recently I have downloaded a couple movies and tv show from itunes on my desktop.  I went to play them on my Apple TV and it load the movie and says "Your Apple TV is not authorized to play this".  I never had an issue before and it plays music just fine but not Movies and Shows. 
    Also another issue recently my Apple TV is losing connection from iTunes.  I goto my iTunes and it shows the Apple TV but isn't streaming.  Some times if I get iTunes and restart it fixes the issue.  Other times I have to unplug my Apple TV and reboot it.  This usually happens any time I let my Apple TV sit idle for more than a few hours or so. 
    Any Ideas?

    I was told by someone to try and purchase something directly from my Apple TV and that will help authorize my Apple TV.  So I picked something that was free and it downloaded.
    Then I went back to the Movie that would not work and it played just fine. 
    So it seemed to work.  I will have to try it on other movies and TV shows later.
