Apple Tv error message

I ripped dvd's I own to my Itunes and they play fine. When I transfer to Apple TV they all show up but some play and some do not. The ones that do not display the error message"The selected video could not be played. The format could not be recognized." They were all ripped using the same format.
Any advice in the way I should be syncing? Automatic or custom?

  • Unable to log on with apple ID - error message "an unknown error has occurred"

    When I try and log on to apple website using my apple ID, I get an error message saying "an unknown error has occurred".  How can I fix this?
    I've changed my password several times and was able to successfully make a purchase from Itunes using new password, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

    For whatever reason, I can now log in to the apps store with one of  my ids. It says my other account no longer exists so I can not update pages and numbers. It will not let me rebuy these programs under the working account because my computer recognizes that I bought them before.

  • Apple TV Error Message After Syncing

    When I sync my Apple TV in iTunes, I get a small warning symbol next to my Apple TV's name in Devices section of iTunes. When I click on this symbol, I get an error message.
    The error message says the following - "Tip 24: Fill Shapes with Any Image" was not copied to the Apple TV because it could not be found.
    Now I have found out that Tip 24 was an Apple Quick Tip video podcast I downloaded well over a year ago. Once I watched it, it deleted itself automatically, like other podcasts do. In fact, since then, I am not even subscribed to this particular podcast because Apple has not made a new one for many months.
    Keeping in mind, I downloaded and watched many of these video podcasts before I unsubscribed to them, I have had no problem with them, except this Tip 24 episode.
    Some reference is clearly lurking in my system somewhere, so iTunes is trying to sync it to my Apple TV.
    HOW DO I FIND IT AND DELETE IT? I have searched everywhere!! I have tried Spotlight searches, but can find no trace of it!? PLEASE HELP, it is doing my head in now!! LOL
    Thank you.

    Ok, I'm not very technical with this sort of thing, so if you or anyone could give me some easy to follow advise on how to do this maintenance to get this reference to disappear, I would be really grateful!
    Thanks.

  • Apple tv error message "the selected video could not be played.  the format was not recognized"

    my apple tv has started displaying error message "the selected video could not be played.  the format was not recognized" on all my movies.  i have never had a problem with it before.  please help.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It seems that your Apple TV may be unable to see your movies, where are your movies kept, have you recently moved them, have you done anything else that might be related.

  • HT1595 Apple TV error message 3906

    Any one out there can help with error message -3906 not connected to wireless connection

    I had the same problem. I just solutioned it just by disabling MAC Address filtering in my LinkSys router. This is strange as I did enter the address of my ATV3 in the list of allowed devices in the router configuration software.
    The truth is that it now works! I just seems that ATV is not compatible with MAC Address filtering.

  • HT1551 Apple TV error message

    I just got the error msg "This content requires HDCP for playback... Please reconnect the HDMI cable..." Which I did, but I still get the message with Netflix, ESPN, my movies. However, I can watch YouTube, listen to the radio. I received this message before updating. Thinking the error msg was due to the fact I hadn't, I updated to the newest IOS. Any suggestions?

  • I received this error message when attempting to open my iTunes:  apple application support not found

    I'm not sure if my iTunes won't open because my apple software might have been deleted from my computer during a clean out.  How do I reestablish my apple software without losing all my iTunes music?  Apple's error message is telling me that I have to uninstall iTunes and then re install it, but I'm pretty sure I'll lose everything if I do this.  Suggestions?????

    Hello RunnerGirl98,
    If you reinstall iTunes using this article, your songs will not be deleted. The Media in iTunes is stored in the iTunes folder, which is normally found in your Music folder and is not attached, or part of the iTunes application.
    It will be either one of these 2 articles depending on the OS version you have installed:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
    or
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    I would also verify where your iTunes library is stored using this information:
    Where are my iTunes files located?
