Cannot play movie HDCO, any solution?

I get this message, cannot play the movie because the computer screen does not support the format:
HDCP (High-bandwith Digital content Protection). I rented the movie from itunes, and I am very surprized, I thought that's the reason why I have a mac, that all apple- features correspond! I have a mac book pro from 2011.

FWIW, I talked with Applet Support. The CSR was not aware of the issue and had to consult with a more senior person. Story is the rights management varies by video. The CSR agreed that there is a inconsistency in how Apple is applying HDCP rights between the iTunes application and iPad Video app but can't do anything about it.
So now looking to see if Android is a better choice going forward.

  • I am trying to play my ipod shuffle 1st gen in itunes but it will not play. My windows 7 computer recognizes the ipod and I can easily select the songs on my ipod playlist in itunes but cannot play them. Any solutions to the problem?

    I get the feeling some has asked a question "like" this but not exactly that question which makes it really hard for find answers fast to the above question. Therefore, I decided to ask it anyway. Hopefully someone has a good solution that will work.
    Background on the question:
    - I had to erase and reupload song on my ipod 1st gen to my new computer. Apparently the ipod could not be read by the iTunes in my new computer because the playlist cannot be opened in more than one iTunes or in another computer or something like that (this makes no sense). All this was to try and charge my ipod that does not seem to want to charge. It connects perfectly to the computer and I can see the initial blinking yellow lights on the back and front, but won't charge. I am currently working on this problem from other community discussion topics.

    Sync works the same way it always has, connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
    All the media should be in iTunes already, iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
    If this is a new computer, move the content from the old computer to the new computer.

  • Cannot play movie error message

    I am trying to stream off the bbc iplayer via wi-fi onto my ipod touch.
    It keeps coming up with the error message 'Cannot Play Movie'.
    Any ideas please??

    That means that the dock is not HDCP complient..
    HDCP stands for High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection and was developed by Intel Corporation. It's nothing more than a security feature requiring compatibility between the sender and receiver, like HD cable set-top box and the TV. By compatibility, I mean HDCP technology built into both devices.
    Think of HDCP as a security license key like you would input when installing a computer program. Only this security key is invisible to you and me but not your TV.

  • I cannot play .mov files (from iPhone) in Premiere Elements 10.

    I cannot play .mov files (from iPhone) in Premiere Elements 10. Is there a solution?
    It used to work fine. I wonder if the problem has something to do with the recent iPhone update. Is there any Premiere update I can download?

    Well, if it used to work... and then you updated your iphone and now it does not work... that seems to ME like the iphone update changed something in the files
    But, exactly what is inside your mov files?

  • Unable to play some movie from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up which says "cannot play movie. Please try again". Can anyone assist me? I just upgraded to iOS 7.1. Netflix not able to find problem.

    Unable to play some movies from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up "Cannot play movie. Please try again later." I contacted Netflix but have not been able the help so I am wondering if it's my iPad. I didn't have a problem before but I have recently upgraded to iOS 7.1. Also is a certain amount of storage needed to play a movie? About how much is that?

    Hello all,
    I have an iPad 2 16GB with iOS 7.0.3 and Netflix version 5.0.2. I cannot watch netflix on an External LCD monitor that I have through VGA out. I use bluetooth speakers, so the AirPlay is going to that for Audio. Before this update, this combo worked without an issue.
    So as of Friday Nov. 8/2013, I contacted Netflix support, and they said they fixed the problem on their end, and the fix is on the Apple side of things, and to contact Apple support.
    So, I contacted Apple support, and the first person I spoke to said I would have to agree to pay a $35 fee for 30 days of support to this problem since my unit is out of warranty. I said this isn't a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and I'm not willing to pay to fix a problem you created. So I got a Senior Level advisor on the line, and she was helpful, and she's looking into the issue for me and said she'll contact me sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov. 12 or 13) to let me know of the issue.
    Here's the thing: this is a combination of Netflix and iOS not working correctly with any of the Apple Authorized Dongles. This is truly a code error that some hot shot programmer had major oversight on, and their management didn't catch it either. There was no reason for Netflix to rush to get this Netflix update going until Apple sorted out the bugs in iOS 7.
    Anyway, if I hear anything from Donna (the advisor), I'll post it and let you guys know. In the mean time, good luck!

  • Upgrade to 10.8 cannot play movies and no movies in Photo Booth

    Hi
    I have been upgrading my iMac and now i cannot play .mov and there are no movies in photo booth.
    Is there something I need to do to get this back?
    Thanks

    In the iTunes preferences have you tried the option under the Advanced tab to Change the location of your iTunes Media Folder location?
    This might point you in the right direction
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    So on your external drive is all of your media in a folder called itunes or is it just music, movies etc. just in a bunch of folders that iTunes is not organizing?

  • Error - "Cannot play movie: Movie could not be played"

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to stream an MP4 video on my iPhone 4 (OS 4.2.1), which I could do with no problems before. For some reason I am now getting the error "Cannot play movie: Movie could not be played". I have tested this URL on a PC web browser and it streams fine. I have tried over the 3G network and wiki... same result.
    Has anyone experienced this and / or has a resolution?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    take a look at this thread and see if it helps:

  • Since Yosemity and new iTunes i cannot play movies on macbook pro (missing HDCP ability)? Why is that?

    Since Yosemity and new iTunes i cannot play movies on macbook pro (missing HDCP ability)? Why is that?
    regards Peter

    Yesterday I had Apple phone support, they could partly solve the problem. At least I can use my Mac again to view movies but the problem of less resolution in itunes only is still there. My brother has the same macbook, same yosemity and same itunes. It works. Obviously it has to do with other SW on the Mac. Yesterday we removed Displaylink SW (i believe that was the name of the SW?) from my Mac. Perhaps it is not yet compatible with yosemity?

  • Getting "Cannot Play Movie" for what appears to be a good video file

    When I load a video by url from an email or in Safari, I get the message "Cannot Play Movie". However, I've written a simple app which just instantiates the MPMoviePlayerController and calls play() and it works flawlessly for the same video loaded from the same url.
    I get the same issue regardless of where the video is hosted, i.e. if I load the same video from a different url on a different server.
    QuickTime reports:
    H.264, 480 x 270, Millions
    AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz
    480 x 270 pixels
    The video url is http://sistertech.s3.amazonaws.com/35007382172981/1655042009/streams/35007382172981-1655042009-ecar-124950129340988000-16-9.mp4
    Also, this only became a problem after the 3.0 update.

    i would just like to point out that when i record a video on my new imac using ibooth it obviously saves it as a quicktime file.
    however when emailing this to my iphone it presents the file for download. when the file is downloaded it displays the following error - movie format not supported when it opens quicktime.
    does the iphone require an upgrade of quicktime software?
    seems pretty pointless that it doesnt work even thought it is another mac product??!!
    thanks

  • Why am I receiving message to play a movie from iTunes account "cannot play movie".  It say not authorized to play protected movie.

    In a different post, you asked:

    So r u telling me that I can only look at a movie from my iTunes account on the device that it was download from.  This doesn't set very well me.  U should b able to your purchase movies from your cloud.  Is apple working on this resolution?
    There is no resolution needed, as this is not a problem.
    I am saying not the device, but the Apple ID is what needs to be the same, unless the movie is rented.
    If the movie is rented, it can only reside on one device at a time.  But from your error message above, I don't think that is your situation.
    Your error message suggests a different Apple ID purchased the movie.  If you want to see it, you must use your computer's iTunes, go to Store > Authorize This Account in the iTunes menu on your computer, and have that purchaser sign in with their Apple ID and password, then sync your iPad to that computer.
