Amazing Spiderman movie download does not play, what's up with that?

I bought the "Amazing Spiderman" movie in iTunes; it will not play on my Mac Pro. A version of it did start on my ipad(3) wanted to finish on my Mac but all I get is a black iTunes window with controls and everything, but it will not play. They still haven't updated Apple support pages to reflect Mountain Lion (10.8.2).
Oh, other movies that I have bought or ripped seem to work fine.

I got this response; I would have expected it to appear here, but it didn't.

You may have bought/ downloaded the Hi Def version of the movie but your monitor/graphics card combination doesn't support the HDCP protocols necessary to play the DRMs HiDef movies offered.
Try to download the standard def version that will play for sure.
Fortunately Apple lets you download the standard version free (after you've paid extra for the HD version)
When it finishes downloading, I will try it again.
Oh, it did show up!

Tiger does not know what to do with some files

I have lots of old files that do not have extensions so Tiger does not know what to do with them, Get info displays the files as Unix Executable Files. Is there anything I can do to figure out what the files really are?

Open the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, type in the following:
file
followed by a space, and then drag the items into it. The Terminal will then make an attempt to determine what format each file's content is.

Imported .mov file does not play in Flash export

I have imported a .mov file as a background for a flash banner I want to put on my website. The exported flash file plays all of the text animations, but the .mov background does not work -- it's just frozen on the first frame. I have read similar problems with QT exports, but I haven't found any similar flash problems. Thanks for any help.

I think it might be necessary to look at the Inspector in QuickTime. Open the .mov file in QuickTime and go to Window > Show Movie Inspector:
In the info window that comes up, under the Format: field you want to look at the second row where it tells you the audio track format:
In this example, this particular clip is in a really odd format. It is MPEG Layer 2 (no Layer 3 which is MP3 format) at 32Khz, Mono. Preferably for anything in iMovie or iDVD you would prefer the Inspector to look like this:
Linear PCM, 16bit (etc) 2 channels, 48kHz. This can be accomplished by downloading and installing MPEG Streamclip. Open the program and drag the .mov clip into the applicationw window (with five dots in it). Then under the File Menu choose Export to QuickTime:
Then go to the Compression pull-down menu and choose Apple Intermediat Codec (AIC):
Then under the Audio section, leave the audio pulldown to uncompressed but do set the sample rate to 48kHz instead of Auto:

MOV video does not play

Hello guys,
I have posted a H.264 video clip on my website. It's size is 31 MB. It had played great when I was testing it from my desktop, but once I post it, it does not play. "Q" logo shows up, then the very first frame of the video shows up, but that's it. It does not start to play. Here is the link:

Any idea what I do wrong?
Thank you so much

Hi Kirk,
reason I am doing all these conversions is to achieve the smallest file possible for internet streaming in shortest period of time. I am exporting my video from Final Cut Pro timeline as QT movie. Then it goes to Compressor to be converted to ProRes to make it progressive and to change frame size. Resulting file goes to Compressor again to be converted to H.264. ProRes is an intermediate codec saving a lot of compression time.
I am trying to check settings during last conversion (from ProRes to H.264): Make it Fast Start and change the audio to AAC. But even though resulting file shows that video is AAC, the file is not any smaller at all. And video does not upload any faster with Fast Start on. So obviously, I am doing something wrong.

I have a iMac - when I burn dvd of my home movies it does not play on other dvd players

When i burn a dvd on my imac - it does not play on other dvd players

Buy iDVD on Disk.
Yes, there are other programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, DVD Creator, Wondershare, and others. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie.
http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/idvd.html
With iDVD you can easily and quickly create DVDs with menus and graphics almost on the level of what Hollywood can do.
IDVD is easy to get. It is available on disk as part of iLife 11.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40. (works with all Mac OS 10.5 and newer.)

Missing file -- can't find -- see it but does not play -- what went wrong?

I was working on a 2 hour long podcast using 1 track - female voice. When I opened the file, the 1st hour does not play. Get a message saying "missing file." I searched for the file on all disks in all folders -- not there. But you can see the recorded track -- it just says it's missing. The 2nd hour is fine. I have no idea what could have gone wrong. That's a lot of lost work. Any ideas? Thanks.

trying to figure out a recipe for a problem is really good, so congrats on taking the extra step (i wish more people would list their steps, it would make diagnosing problems a lot easier)! unfortunately, no, that should not have caused a problem, it SHOULD have worked as you expected. changing settings, or moving regions between tracks should not cause a problem.
stopped and changed to plain Female voice to be consistent with my other podcasts.
just for future reference, you don't need to worry about that:

TS1424 itunes download does not play

I recently bought an album on itunes and 3 of the songs do not play.

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that album and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

AVC HD from Panasonic Lumix movie mode does not play on the iPad. Motion JPEG mode does play the videos, however there is no sound. Any suggestions?

AVC HD movie mode from a Panasonic Lumix camera will not play on the iPad, the format in the camera is not compatible. However, Motion JPEG mode in the camera will play the video on the iPad but there is no sound. Any suggestions?

Ok, I was an old fool, there is indeed a setting on the Lumix LX5 camera which seems to allows both audio and video, although not AVC HD, the camera must be set to Motion JPEG and subsequently NOT to PICT Bridge, rather to PC for the output. Anyone who decides to purchase a Panasonic Lumix should be aware of this. The iPad 2 will display Lumix perfectly in 720p which is enough for the old fool. The Sony NEX5N at twice the cost will do 1080p, but on the iPad and our TV the difference I suspect will not be noticeable.

Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:

Then, on the phone, tap
Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

HT1933 The movie I downloaded does not play, how can i get my money back

I have downloaded a film and the picture has frozen and you can hear the movie start but nothing happens. How can I either get it working or get my money bak?

If this is on your iPad then you've tried closing the Videos app via the taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
And/or tried a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If neither of those work, then depending upon what country that you are in (films can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the filme from the Videos app and redownload it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download films or if it re-downloads with the same problem then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that film and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

Video Download Does Not Play.

So apparently the digital copy of Star Trek is a two hour and six minute gray rectangle. On my system, at least.
I can't figure it out, here's a screenshot. I am hesitant to re-download 1 gigabyte all over again.
img695.imageshack.us/img695/5940/trek.jpg
It's the most recent version of itunes.

Also, I don't seem to have any quicktime plugins other than what is default for quicktime pro.
It does ask me to authorize in itunes when I try to open the file with quicktime, and after doing so it says that I still have 4 more computers that I can authorize, and nothing changes. Video is still gray.
This seems like a known issue and I'm wondering why nobody has found an answer other than luck.

Flashplayer does not play, what am i missing

web video sites prompt to download most upgrade to flash player. uninstalled and reinstalled 10.1.53.69. i still get prompted to download most recent version.
using firefox 3.6.11, windows vista home premium Service pack 2, 34 bit system, amd 64 dual core processor 6000+ @ 3.0 ghz. logged in as administrator. C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash contains:
flashplayer.xpt
flashutil10k_plugin
install
npswf32.dll
flashinstall

That was the reason that the newest version could not be installed. (But the installer should have given you a message.)
