Apple trailers won't play AT ALL

Number one, yes, I browsed and didn't find if someone had already asked this. So, just in case I skipped over it for "x" or "y" reason and this turns out to be a repeated question/complaint... my bad.
Number two, here's the thing : I've never had problems with QT in all my years of using it (since, like 2001). Never, at all. A few weeks ago I noticed that the trailers over at Apple weren't playing, and realized they were made for QT7.
So, alright, cool, no problem. I d/led the sucker, installed it, and tried it again.
IIRC, the first trailer I tried worked perfectly.
From then on, Apple trailers just plain don't load. I get either the trailer-area with a white screen, the trailer-area with the blue QT logo and white screen, or the trailer-area with a QT logo with a "?" imposed over it and a white screen.
And at the bottom of my browser it always says "Done", and I've kept it open for an hour just in case the loading start is lagged or something. No go!
Yahoo QT trailers load fine (well, the "Pirates 2" one did) and QT files I d/l to my hard drive play like a wonder.
So, what could be the problem here?

  • Apple Trailers won't play after update to Snow Leopard

    I recently upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard and the only glitch I have encountered is that Apple Trailers will not play. The computer screen darkens and the movie viewer screen pops up, but the viewer screen remains black and no movie appears. I have tried reinstalling Snow Leopard and updating to 10.6.1, but still no trailers. Any idea what's going on and what I should do? Many thanks.

    Mine seems fine, but you might post a link to a specific trailer.
    It's possible it may be Flash related, some early disks broke Flash.
    What version of QuickTime do you have? Which browser are you using?

  • Apple  trailers won't play

    i downloaded Divx Player and now i cant't watch trailers on the apple trailers page. i get sound but no video. can anyone help?

    Uninstall the Divx Player, repair permissions, restart your computer.  Either use Quicktime 10 or Quicktime 7 which is located inside your Utility Folder.
    Still having trouble?  Install Perian, repair permissions and restart your computer after the installation.

    Hi,
    As you have match, I suggest that you create a new library by holding ctrl whist launching iTunes. Select create new library. Sign into iTunes Store and activate match. You will now have access to your music and will be able to stream your music.
    Options : get a new external drive formatted for mac and either download music from match or copy music from old drive to new one. Alternatively you could reformat old drive and download music from match - I would not be comfortable using this option as it means erasing drive before being able to use with mac.

  • HT1725 can I delete an album from my computer and re-download from my purchases? I bought an album and some of the songs only play partof the way through and some won't play at all. One of them says this computer is not authorized to play this trac.

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks only from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If you don't see them straight away it may help to restart iTunes. While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • Apple TV won't play TV shows that are fully downloaded in my library.

    Hi,
    My Apple TV won't play TV shows that are fully downloaded in my library.  It says it will take 6 hours to load a 50 minute episode.  It suggests to change the picture resolution, yet this till says it will take hours to uplaod.  Is anyone else having this problem, and how do I fix it?  I only bought the thing last week, and really feel ripped off.  Thanks in advance.

    Well, if the size of my iPhoto library is the problem, I would have hoped that Apple would have mentioned that when we were on the phone for two hours. But yes, that is a possibility. I have about 260 events containing about 26,000 photos.
    I agree, they should now what kind of limitations might apply.
    Again, the issue may not be iPhoto per se, but something in iTunes or the interface between the two that just struggles above a certain number of files.
    I was able to view photos before I upgraded my apple TV to v3 software but it was not reliable. Sometimes it worked, sometimes not. And it was always slow.
    There were occasional posts about people with slow performance on AppleTV who had huge music libraries - not in terms of storage size, just overall numbers of songs/albums etc.
    AppleTV is not a particularly high spec device compared to any modern computer so long lists of music files or photos/events might overload it. Trouble is here, itunes is just flat refusing to recognise your photos to even attempt to stream them.

  • 1stGen Apple TV Won't Play Newly Purchased Movies

    I have a 1stGen Apple TV and just purchased 2 movies on my computer via the iTunes Store. When I try to play them on my 1stGen Apple TV It shows the movies on my "Shared Movies" Menue, but won't play the content. On the main menue it shows them at being 0sec long. I can navigate through the movie content menues, but can not play any of the content. All other movies work just fine, just these newly purchased ones....I have tried everything and nothing works.

    You might try copying the HD movies to your desktop, then deleting the listing and original from iTunes, iTunes should then let you re-download an SD version for the Apple TV 1. You can then re-import the HD version from your desktop.

  • Apple TV won't play my downloaded movie

    I just got an Apple TV 3 a couple weeks ago, have already successfully downloaded one movie and watched it with no problems.  I downloaded another (Hunger Games) movie this week and when I turned my Apple TV on to watch it, it said "Hunger Games is now ready to watch, click to play" however when I click to play it says it will be ready to play in 28 hours or so.  The movie is completely downloaded so I am not sure why it won't play.  I have tried resetting my Apple TV and unplugging it and the router.  Puchased all movies through iTunes.  Please let me know if you have any suggestions! Thank you!

    Use Google’s Public DNS Server To Fix Apple TV Streaming Problems
    1. Navigate to Settings >> General >> Network and select Configure TCP/IP.
    2. Select “Manually” next to Configure IP.
    3. Dont change the IP address or the Subnet Mask and Router Address. Just click "Done".
    4. Set the DNS Address screen with the following: 008.008.008.008 and click “Done.”
    You should now be able to stream more smoothly on your Apple TV.
    If this works for you, please buy a cup of coffee for a complete stranger or some other selfless, random act of kindness.

  • Rented movie via iMac, moved to Apple TV, won't play, just says Authorizing

    I tried to rent a movie from iTunes Store via my Apple TV earlier this evening, as I've done several times previously. But the screen just said Authorizing with the spinning gear. The movie never downloaded.
    Instead I downloaded it to my iMac and moved it to my Apple TV--the first time I've tried to rent a movie via my computer. I selected the movie on Apple TV, however, but it won't play. Again, it says Authorizing with the spinning gear.
    I verified that the AppleTV is connected to my network and the Internet and I re-entered my iTunes Store information. But it still doesn't work.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    On going problems with apple's server all of today. All I recommend is you just try again tomorrow and it should work. I know i''d frustrating with it being a movie and evrything but I don't think there is much else you can do.

  • IMovie 9 - Video is edited, shows the project clips, but won't play at all? Please Help

    So i've finished all the editing on my project, But now it won't play. The clips show on the project reel (left side) but doesn't show the video in the viewer on the right side. Space bar just sent the red tracking bar back to the beginning but won't play. Hitting the play button makes nothing happen, and playing full screen doesn't play the video either.

  • Burnt CDs won't play on all CD players

    Either some or all tracks on a CD burnt on my eMac's SuperDrive will not play on some commercial CD players.

    I use a Pioneer CMX-3000 Dj CD player at home and it won't play burnt CD's from my emac - 1.2MZ USB 1GIG Super Drive (which was the whole point of the emac in the first place so disappointing).
    The Pioneer is a high end CD player that plays CD at 2 to 4 times the normal speed (allowing particular DJ functions because of it), but because of this is a bit picky about the quality of the burn CD itself.
    I have tried five different brands of media (non of them cheap) different software (Toast/iTunes etc) different setting and burn speeds. No joy.
    Oddly, I haven't been able to find a CD burnt in any other computer (I got my friends to burn a few - all using different media and software) and the CD player had no problem with those at all.
    My suspicion is that the Super drive doesn't do a good job of burning CD's, and hence teh bad quality can't be played by some CD players.
    haven't found much in the way of a solution so thinking of updating the super drive to a dual layer and possibly this might fix the problem (the Pioneer 109 seems popular).
    Although, as don't know who made teh super drive taht;s in there at the moment, not sure if this is just going to be another waste of money?

  • Songs won't play through all the way

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -

    Restart your computer.

  • IMove HD Trailers Won't Play

    Just got the new MacBook, tested out the remote and played some iMovie HD Trailers and they played with ease. I have gone back now to view more trailers with the remote and they are not loading. Anyone esle having this problem? Solutions? THanks

    thanks for responding, to be a bit more clear-
    i am referring to the new remote which accompanies the MacBook. heres what i do when i use the remote
    menu>videos>movie trailers> and i select preferred trailer
    the trailer appears to be loading but never plays its just staying in the loading state, i've tried leaving it for mins. and mins. to let it work itself out but the trailer still never plays.
    trailers from apple.com running off of quicktime run fine.
    hope that helps. thanks

  • IPad says it's sending video via AirPlay, Apple TV won't play it.

    When I send video to Apple TV, iPad says the video is playing on AirPlay but the Apple TV refuses to play the video.  No audio, no video, nothing.  Just a second of the spinning gear like it's trying to play it, then back to whatever it was previously doing.  Both devices are at their newest software levels, and resetting the iPad doesn't work.
    The only thing that has worked is unplugging the Apple TV, but that only resolves the issue for about a day, and sometimes not at all.  HELP?

    What kind of content are you trying to play, and from what app?
    Is this all music/video/photos or just certain video (which might be incompatible if you've made it yourself)?
    Some kind of wireless network issue is most likely, either slow or dropped connections, but if unplugging AppleTV helps it may be worth hooking up to a computer via a microUSB cable and running iTunes to factory restore it.
    What kind of network setup do you have?
    Can you stream anything via Airplay from iTunes?

  • 1st Gen Apple TV won't play iTunes purchased movie

    I purchased a movie (not HD) on iTunes and cannot play it on my 1st gen Apple TV.  My older movies are still there to be viewed.  Any thoughts?

    Does it appear in the movie list on the AppleTV1 but won't play?  Does it give an error?
    Try purchasing something on AppleTV1 direct - check in iTunes you may find a free episode of a TV Show or similar.  I had an issue last year with new content until I purchased something else on AppleTV - i assumed it was some kind of authorisation getting updated.
