  • I can't play downloaded shows from iTunes in QuickTime.

    I've downloaded Quicktime, installed it. And it wouldn't play my shows from iTunes. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled and still wont play, keeps saying "The movie requires Quicktime, which is not included in this version of iTunes. To play this movie, install QuickTime".... :/ I have a Windows 7 Dell laptop.

    Hello ifeoluwaloju,
    The article below details how to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and it's related components. Doing so should help resolve this message.

  • Cant play movies downloaded from Itunes

    I have 2 issues.1. I can't play movies downloaded from Itunes. It says that format is not supported. What can I do?2. I bought the WDTV three weeks ago. ABC Iview no longer supports WD products as of July 1. Not happy. Can anyone help?

    Page 88 in the User Manual Note: The media player does not support playback of protected premium content such as movies or music from the iTunes® Store, Cinema Now, Movielink ®, Amazon Unbox™, and Vongo® http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/UM/ENG/4779-705123.pdf  You're correct about iView ...

  • Can't play song purchased from iTunes Store

    I recently purchased a song from iTunes Store, and the song appears in my library.  However, when I double click on the song to playback, it skips to another song.  It won't play at all.  Help?!  How can I get the song to play (or at least get my $1.29 back)?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    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 item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • On my mac i accidentally deleted all my documents and now i cant play my songs from itunes but can on my phone and my photos are there but when i open them they are not but i can see some on my iphone but not all. How do i get these back or are they lost?

    I accidentally dleted all my documents and emptyed the trash can. I can play my music on my iphone but not through my mac because it says it cant locate the file/original and my photos are on my computer but when i double click to open them they come up with an ! however some of the photos are on my iphone but just the ones i took using the camera function. Can i get this stuff back or it lost forever.....

    At the AT&T store. Tried using iCloud but only 120 songs were transferred and when I access my iTunes account now it only shows 120 and not the 450 anymore that I purchased on my old phone. Tried to sync again from the phone to iTunes and it still not working.
    I purchased everything under the same apple ID account I called apple support and spent almost 2 hours with tech support for assistance and we got disconected and they never called me back.
    I'm at the point where I'm about to never purchase anything anymore from apple go to another company retrieve every single charge made on my bank account from iTunes and file a law suit against the company. It's being a week that I called for assistance and no one called me back to help me with this matter even after I responded a survey with a complaint about not getting a resolution to my problem.
    If you could please help me I will appreciate, I'm out of the country now and can't stay on the phone for a long time.
    I need to sell my old phone but as right now besides all my bank statements the old phone is the only evidence that I purchased the songs.

  • How to watch rented TV shows from iTunes Store

    I just tried renting a TV show from the iTunes store on the ATV 2 for the first time, and I am unable to find the show in order to play it. I clicked on the "Rent" it asked me to login to my iTunes account, and then it asked me to enter the security code from the back of my credit card on file with the iTunes store. I did all that, and then it just went back to the screen where you can preview the show or rent it again. I checked my bank account and it was charged the $.99. I checked to see if there were any purchases available for download on the ATV by click Settings > General > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals. I never saw any progress bar or anything else indicating it was downloading. Is there a separate place you can go in the ATV to see movies and shows you have recently rented and are still available to watch? The episode I tried renting now has a blue circle next to it, and if I highlight it and push the play button on the remote, it just plays the 30 second preview. If I hold down the play button it just lets me mark the episode as watched.

    No problem, and that's totally understandable. They wouldn't charge again until you've reached expiry (30 days unwatched, 24/48hrs once you've hit play)

  • Can't play Movie Trailers from iTunes Store!

    I am wondering if anyone knows why I cant watch free movie trailers on the iTunes Store? It follows as far as letting me choose the size of the trailer cilp I want to watch but after that nothing loads up! the top half of the page is blank! Also I can't watch movie trailers from the apple website through the quicktime option. Yes, I do have Quicktime. Please Help.

    I figured it out, it was just that I needed to upgrade my Quiktime player. Quicktime 7 and I can watch all the movie trailers!!

  • HT1745 quicktime not authorized to play movies rented from iTunes store

    Rented 3 movies last night from the iTunes store. Download began and ended just fine. When I tried to view one of the movies, quicktime opened with this message:  "QuickTime Player is not authorized to play “Clara's Heart.m4v”. In order to play this content, please open it with iTunes"
    So, I tried to open with iTunes, and discovered that I couldn't.
    Any ideas of what to do please? I would appreciate explanations in simpe english as I do not understand computer jargon. Thanks very much.

    Try restarting your iTunes in 32-bit mode, as per the following document:
    iTunes 10.4 for Mac: Older media files may require iTunes to reopen in 32-bit mode
    Does the rental play then?

  • Tv shows from itunes store not copying to ipod

    i bought tv shows from the itunes store a while back, they have been on my 5th gen. ipod (30gig) since. i updated my ipod yesterday, went to use it and found that about 4 of 5 of them were missing. i tried to manually copy them to th ipod, but itunes wouldnt let me. i am running itunes 7 & have the second to latest ipod software. if anyone has a similar problem or can solve my issue please let me know immediately.

    ok, so i figured this out... when i connect my ipod and go to the "tv shows tab" i had the option to sync only the "unwatched episodes" checked. so the shows that i watched on my computer would not download to my iPod. If you select "all" instead of "unwatched" then all of the tv shows regardless if you have watched them or not, will begin to download... Thanks for the help everybody

  • Cant access purchased movies from itunes store

    Hi I have a macbook 10.6.8 and iphone 4. movies I have previously bought in itunes appear on my phone but not in itunes -ive tried to transfer purchased to macbook but keep getting 'itunes temporarily unavailable' despite the fact that Im signed in at time. Im using same id etc as when purchased and have checked my account. im trying to transfer to macbook so that i can sync on to ipad. Searched help topics but no use -i've been trying for several days

    It may not be the "file type," but the resolution, if the downloaded movies are "HD."  The tech specs for the 4th gen iPod touch
    http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/specs.html
    states the video playback capabilities for the 4th gen iPod touch, where is says TV and Video.  It sounds like 720p (1280x720) is sometimes supported, but not always, and I believe some iTunes Store content is now 1080p.  If you do a Get Info in iTunes on the movies, you should get details about resolution and file type.
    However, in any case, for the small size of an iPod touch screen, if the movies you downloaded are "HD" (720p or higher), you should probably download the SD (standard def) version for use with your iPod touch.  The SD version also takes up less than half the storage space of the HD version, and probably uses less battery power when played (because the iPod's processor does not need to work as hard). 
    I believe you are entitled to download the SD version at no additional cost, if you paid for the HD version.  You should be able to do it from the Purchased screen in the iTunes Store.

  • IPod won't play purchased music from iTunes Store

    My iPod won't play purchased songs from the iTunes Store. They play on my computer, using iTunes, through the iPod, but my iPod won't play the songs with headphones, or in my BOSE speaker station, nor in my car using my Belker radio adapter. I've purchased a few songs before, and haven't had this problem. I wasn't prompted, as I have been before, to enter in a password before playing the songs.

    i have the same problem, and i looks like there are another 4 or 5 discussion threads with the same prob. my ipod is about 14months old, got one of the first 4th generations when they came out -- have never had a problem, then when i downloaded itunes 6, all of a sudden everything i have purchased since then plays fine on my computer and just keeps scrolling thru and not playing on my ipod. very very frustrating. i have tried everything, right down to a complete restore on it, and nothing helps. also, when i downloaded itunes6, my purchased music playlist disapeared -- i spent 2 weeks and 5 emails going back and forth with tech support because they wouldn't address the issue, and am wary of going to them with this one. i thought the drive or memory on the ipod was corrupted and was going to buy another one, but now i'm not so sure -- is anyone having this issue with a 5th generation? because what it looks like is itunes 6 downloads may not be compatible with 4th G, and that makes me a little cranky. any one find a solution for this yet?

  • Help - Cannot play music purchased from iTunes store

    HI,
    Hoping someone can help me. I cannot play any music I have purchased from the iTunes store on my Macbook Pro or iMac at home however I can play the tracks on my iMac at work. This occurred after I reinstalled Leopard on my main iMac at home. Here are the steps I have taken so far to try and resolve:
    1 - Deauthorized all computers
    2 - Reauthorized all computers
    I recently copied the music library from my home iMac to the work iMac and laptop they are all the same files now, not different versions. Essentially I'm playing the same file on each machine and all machines are authorized.
    If I select a purchased song at home or on my MacBook Pro, a window opens saying I am not authorized, blah blah blah. I input my details which I know are correct. The message tells me the authorization was successful but if I click on the song, the window opens again telling me I'm not authorized - ARRRGHHH!!
    BUT the weird thing is, the files all play on my work iMac. This is the only device that hasn't changed recently - the home Mac is a new OS restore and the MacBook Pro is about 2 months old, but if I've authorized them I don't understand why they won't play.
    Trying to contact iTunes support it impossible so I thought I'd see if anyone else has suffered a similar experience?

    I have the SAME problem and it's driving me INSANE!! I contacted an iTunes person and she's trying to help me but it didn't really help much... The stupid authorization prompt won't stopp popping up and I'm about to throw my computer out the window... It will sync and everything, but before it's done it will say some of my songs weren't copied to my iPhone because I'm not authorized, even though I AM. It's highly depressing... I really want to fix this problem. I thought it was just my computer because if just recovered from a major virus that we fixed, but what you explained is Identical to my problem. If you find a solution, please tell me! Thank you very much.
