Cant play purchased itunes videos on 5k iMac HDCP error

After a few days of smooth sailing with my brand new 5k retina iMac I tried watching some purchased tv shows on itunes and I get this instead  "THE SELECTED VIDEO WILL NOT PLAY ON YOUR DISPLAY This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)". I was able to watch episodes yesterday with no issue. There are no external monitors connected. I'm on my usual secure wireless network. I'm running version 12.1.2.27 of itunes. I have tried restarting the system, and itunes but the issue persists. Access to the file is not the issue as the files do download and start to play anywhere on the timeline but get cut off after 3  seconds or so by the error message. I have  not changed the display settings since unboxing and initial setup. The screen is at full resolution just like it was when itunes was playing shows and not giving me this error message.
Any one else got this issue?
Any solutions?

    My ipad2 will not play my itunes videos that i just purchased; I've deleted and reloaded them twice, but still won't play; plays music only, any suggestions?

    You are playing them in the Videos app correct? Music Videos will play the video in the videos app, not in the Music app.

  • I cant play some online videos. why? is there anyways to play them, i cant play some online videos. why? is there anyways to play them, i cant play some online videos. why? is there anyways to play them

    What error messages are you getting? The videos are likely created with Flash, or another plug-in, which can't be played on the iPad.

  • Won't play purchased iTunes since 7.0.1 upgrade

    Is anyone else having a problem playing purchased iTunes since upgrading to 7.0.1? There are so many things i love about the upgrade (easy transfer of photos from iPhoto) but ever since I upgraded, iTunes refuses to play any of my purchsed songs (which are still in the library) and will not update them to my iPod. (I have an iPod photo -- though most people haven't heard of them, they were discontinued so quickly).
    If I click on one of the songs, I get a message saying that my computer is not authorized to play the songs, then am prompted to put in my apple ID to authorize the computer. It goes through, and apparently "authorizes" the computer successfully. But then if I click on the song again, I get the same prompt.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Same problem here. Does anyone from Apple actually read these and provide any answers since I can't seem to find any other way to contact them?

  • Why when I try to play an avi video on my iMac the sound works but why not the picture?

    Why when I try to play an avi video on my iMac the sound works but not the picture? I need codecs but xvid doesn't support Macs.
    Maybe I should figure out if and how to use torrents and forget about using QuickTime.

    Try VLC, can play almost any format known to man...

    Or you can install the Perian extension to Quicktime to allow for Xvid playback.....

  • HT203180 how can you check prior to purchase if the video format is compatible, and how to get refund if purchased itunes video cannot play on the ipod

    Is it possible to check prior to purchase that the iTunes video about to be purchased can played on the iPod.  Also is it possible to get refund if purchased videos from itunes are not compatible on their own products (i only play videos on my ipod).

    I am having this same issue since I updated OS7. Please advise.

  • This is ridiculous.  Cant play purchased songs.

    OK...I know that I am not the only one having this problem as it is all over the place.  Why will Apple not provide any support on this?
    Windows XP, purchased album from Itunes, cant play 2 songs off the album.  I get the "this computer is not authorized to play...."  I enter my Apple ID and password and it says "this computer is already authorized"
    I have done every single step listed here :
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    And still nothing..
    I can play every song on the album but 2.
    This is extremely frustrating!  Funny thing is...I can play the songs using other players..

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store, then.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entries, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • Can I burn a purchased Itunes video onto a DVD?

    Does anyone know if I can burn a purchased video in ITunes to a DVD? I bought CNN Planet in Peril.

    Does anyone know if I can burn a purchased video in ITunes to a DVD?
    Not onto a video DVD. A data DVD will work, but these will only play in iTunes and are subject to authorization.

  • Can't play purchased music videos on my IPad

    I've purchased a number of American Idol music videos via ITunes. However they will not show up nor play on my IPad. I just switched over to ICloud and still can't access or play my music videos. They play fine on my PC monitor. Any suggestions? I work in hospice and would like to share some of the music videos with my patients.

  • Slideshow will not play "Purchased" iTunes Music

    I recently updated to iTunes 7.6.2, and ever since then - the slideshows in Aperture (v2.1) and iPhoto (v6.0.6) will not play "purchased" music from my itunes library. The slideshows will play non-purchased music files from my library without any problems! I'm not sure why and would appreciate any help. I'm running OS X v10.4.11. I don't have any problems playing the purchased music files in iTunes or syncing with my ipod. Thanks!

    I had the same problem when. I reinstalled X11 from the OSX disks and the problem is now resolved. It might be worth a try.
