Apple tv not letting me play movies saying HDCP playback not supported

Apple tv, go into netflix try to play movies, wont let me say's HDCP playback not supported. Called netflix tryed various things, they believe it's the apple device itself, tryed to contact apple of course you have to buy $35 pkg for support , so now I don't want to pay that I would rather just go buy another apple tv which would cost my $100 but would I still have the same issue?

Welcome to the Apple community.
The first thing to check is that your TV is HDCP compliant. If you are sure that it is:
Check that the HDMI cable is correctly seated at both ends.
Try disconnecting the cable and connecting it again.
Try another HDMI cable.
Try the Apple TV with another TV

  • Photos 10.10.3 will not let me play or move my videos and keeps sending a message saying "can not find file". What do I do to get the videos back?

    Photos 10.10.3 will not let me play or move my videos and keeps sending a message saying "can not find file". What do I do to get the videos back? It is only during videos that I previously uploaded off my phone. It loads them and tells me how long they are but when I go to press play it says can not find file. I have restarted my computer, what else can I do?

    Check the information on the song, Right-Click -> Get Info.
    In the fist pane, (Summary), you will see the AppleId (Account Name) that was used to buy the song.
    Be sure to login to use this account to register this computer to play the song
    What I often see, Is that people have many different AppleID, sometime not even knowing it, which is a big problem.

  • Logic does not see my hd omni as an input device. Any ideas?  I've been told to reinstall logicpro - but apple won't let me because it says its already installed on this machine.

    I'm having the same issue with a file called IMG_2353.MOV that was imported into iPhoto from my iPhone and also have to manually select the items to import (so the rogue file doesn't error everything out). I've tried using Image Capture to locate/delete the file directly from my iPhone, but even though I can SEE it in Image Capture, I can't delete it or anything. This is VERY frustrating! My friend/Apple guru's only suggestion was to backup my phone then restore it through iTunes. Risky but should do the trick. I'm too scared to try, though!

  • I recently downloaded 2 movies in iTunes on my windows PC and movies will not play, they will open up to the main menu, mouse overs work as well as extra features.  However the main movies will not let you play.

    I recently downloaded 2 movies in iTunes on my windows PC and movies will not play, they will open up to the main menu, mouse overs work as well as extra features.  However the main movies will not let you play. On mouse over in itunes the 'play' buttion is not enabled, yet is however enabled on previously downloaded movies.

    For me I have follow several of the help articles. When I play the movie in iTunes the screen is black with no audio, the timer status says it is playing (although it does not work all the time). I am able to play and have audio on the extras. I tried to use just QuickTime to play the movie and that as well does not work. I have started iTunes in safe mode and when the movie would begin to play, iTunes crashes and I have to restart. I have tried fresh clean installs of iTunes as well as QuickTime with no luck.
    It looks to be a QuickTime problem however I cant verify that. Any help would be great.

  • HT201413 I do not have an apple product, but I do have Itunes on my computer, and it will not let me play my downloaded music-error message computer needs registered, and it is.  Can you help me?

  • HT5287 DVD and CD sharing will not let you play or share DVD movies and audio CD's.  Does any one know of a way to get music from a CD on a MacBook Pro wirelessly to an iMac?

    DVD and CD sharing will not let you play or share DVD movies and audio CD's.  Does any one know of a way to get music from a CD on a MacBook Pro wirelessly to an iMac?

    I cannot find the eMac install disk, and I haven't been able to get it to start up from my 10.3 CDRm (holding down option or c), though I read something somewhere about these not being able to start up from system folders earlier than those they shipped with. I've dealt with this sort of thing several times before, and it always seemed to work to simply use target disk mode.
    It definitely won't start up fromt the 10.5 DVD-R, and I'm pretty sure I tried putting the MBP into TM to use its optical drive as well, but it didn't work. But it's worth trying again, and I appreciate your input greatly.

  • I have just rented a film through my Apple TV (2) which I cannot play, The screen says "HDCP is not supported by your HDMI connection". What am I supposed to do about this?

    I have just rented a film through my Apple TV (2) which I cannot play. The screen says "HDCP is not supported by your HDMI connection." What am I supposed to do about this? Thanks in anticipation.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    HDCP is copy protection built into iTunes video content, the Apple TV requires all devices to be HDCP compatible before it will send HDCP content to them. In simplistic terms the Apple TV asks the TV if the signal it will send can be recorded, if it gets the right answer it will send the signal, if it doesn't receive a reply it won't.
    Your problem may be one of unsupported equipment or may simply be an error. You could start by checking if your TV is HDCP compliant. If it is the problem might be cabling or another device (such as a receiver) between the Apple TV and TV, it may also just be a glitch which might be resolved by a simple restart.

  • ITunes 7.1 will not let me play any tracks...

    iTunes 7.1 will not let me play any tracks, it opens up fine and I can do pretty much anything else with it but when I double click or press play on a track an error message comes up and iTunes has to close. This has only been happening since I uploaded the new 7.1 version of iTunes, can anyone help me with this problem please?
    I have sent an error report to microsoft but that doesn't seem to help me.

    Can you play your tracks with Quicktime?
    If not, you might try uninstalling quicktime and installing the stand alone version, which is option2 here:

  • I have a iTunes account and recently 2 of the song I have downloaded will not play, it says that it not authorised to play. How ever on the same day the other songs I downloaded that day are playing fine

    I have a iTunes account and recently 2 of the song I have downloaded will not play, it says that it not authorised to play. How ever on the same day the other songs I downloaded that day are playing fine. I can't play the 2 song on my lap top and I-pod.

    Hello Jigz19,
    It sounds like you are unable to play a couple of songs from your library becuase you get a message that the computer is unauthorized to play, but other content purchased that same day works without issue. I would verify that the affected songs were purchased with the same Apple ID first:
    Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1920
    Open iTunes
    Highlight one of the items you have purchased (You can find your purchases in your Purchases playlist).
    Choose File > Get Info.
    Click the Summary tab.
    The Account Name area will list the account used to purchase the item. Unless you have changed accounts, this is your iTunes Store account name.
    If so, then delete the songs:

  • I bought several down loads of music and one will not let me play it

    I have paid and downloaded music from ITunes many times, but I run into a problem.  One song that I purchased and it shows it has been downloaded will not let me play it.  It keeps wanting me to verify my computer and I do and then it still won't let me play it.

    It may be a corrupt / damaged download.
    If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...
    Delete the Song(s) and re-download...

    Why is the music on my iPod randomly not letting me play? all my good ones are the ones I purchased won't play, my storage is fine. I tap on the song but it skips to a completly different song on iPod but not laptop. For example both versions of Til' I Collapse by Eminem won't play on my iPod but on laptop, same with Born this Way by Lady Gaga
