Dark Knight digital copy won't play!

Hi guys! I know i'm a little late on this, but i got my dark knight blu-ray disk on christmas of 2008, and i never got around to using the digital copy disk on my mac to put it on my Ipod, until today...So once i popped the disk in it came up on itunes and i typed in the redeem code, and it all worked. Once the download was finished, however i clicked on it in my movies section in my itunes, and all that appears is a gray screen for the entire movie! I put it on my ipod and all that appeared was a black screen, then after a few seconds, kicked me back to my movies list.
Anyone know how to resolve this problem?
any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

I have the same problem - no digital copies are playing (tried Hulk & all 3 X-Men) but other movies play fine including one with "the same" codec. Apple wasn't able to solve it (not "their problem"
as other movies play fine), and Fox/Universal/Marvel just don't care as it's not happening to everyone. Best guess is it's a compatibility issue between certain systems/software. Yeah, I know, that's real helpful. I tried reloading latest iTunes/Quicktime/system updates & the movies - no effect. Tried erasing the "AppleUpstreamUserClient.kext" as suggested in another thread - no effect.
Stuck now with a lot of motivation to pirate stuff rather than paying only to get nothing.

  • Dark Knight Digital Copy doesn't run on iPod 5G

    I recently purchased the Blu-Ray version of the Dark Knight (fantastic by the way), and thought that it would be great to be able to watch it on the go on my ipod. The 2-disc (well, really 3-disc including the digital copy) included a CD called Digital Copy. I put it into my Mac. I opened iTunes, clicked "Dark Knight" in the Devices list, and I entered my Redeem code.
    After around 5 minutes, the movie downloaded successfully, and I was able to play it on my computer. I noticed that the resolution was 853x480, but I still synced it to my iPod.
    I ejected my iPod, then on my iPod, went to Video->Movies->Dark Knight. After a few seconds, a loading screen comes up (a spinning object, really) and then it takes me back to my Movies menu.
    How can I get my iPod to play the movie? If resolution is indeed the issue, how can I scale the video down to playable size? What IS a suitable resolution??
    Thanks in advance,
    -SB

    The Digital Copy of Dark Knight is encoded and provided via a proprietary player. The resulting file that you downloaded from their site is NOT iTune or Quicktime compatible. It won't play in Quicktime Player, in iTunes nor will you be able to sync it to an iPod.
    Nor can you convert the resulting file to a Quicktime or iTune compatible file (.mp4). Warner Bros has evidently taken great pains to keep this digital movie file within a encrypted format.
    (I am writing this from experience. I too thought I could download and view the Dark Knight Digital Copy on my iPod. Once I read the fine print, I didn't even bother to download it.)
    sorry to burst any bubbles out there.

  • Dark Knight Digital Copy - Transfers but doesnt play

    Got my blu ray copy of Dark Knight and it came with a iTunes compatible digital copy.
    Used my code and synced to my iPod Nano. It shows up on the iPod but it doesnt play at all. On iTunes it plays without any sound or picture though......
    Any thoughts or advice?
    Thanks

  • 3G iPhone + Dark Knight Digital Copy

    I bought the Dark Knight two disc edition and extracted the Digital Copy into my iTunes Library. I've tried to sync it to my iPhone, but it doesn't seem to want to... I've added it to a playlist as well as checked the box for it in the Video tab. Does anybody know if Warner Bros excluded the iPhone from Digital Copy playback? Maybe I'm missing a step?
    Thanks!
    Patrick

    I have the original iPhone and was able to transfer my digital copy of the Dark Knight to my iTunes Library and then sync it to my iPhone. It did take up a lot of memory as the film is 2hours and 32 minutes long. I suggest you try playing (a bit)it in iTunes first then trying to sync it again, as suggested.

  • Anyone having problems with "The Dark Knight" digital copy?

    I downloaded the digital copy of "The Dark Knight" onto itunes by using a redeem code that came with the dvd set. The movie downloaded, but when I try to watch it there is no picture or sound even though the timer is activated. I emailed itunes support and they told me to uninstall then reinstall itunes, quicktime, and other apple software. I followed their instructions, but the movie still plays with no picture or sound. Anyone have similar problems? Or a solution?

    im having the same trouble with a digital copy of star trek i just keep getting a grey screen no audio or visual.
    ive just had a good scroll through some off the answered questions one thing you could try is deauthorizing your computer form itunes and then reauthorizing it. hopefully this should work for u.

  • I can't download my Dark Knight digital copy.

    When I downloaed it for the first time it said that I have downloaded 1.67GB out of 1.67GB but the blue bar was still moving like it was still downloading, I went to my movies and couldn't play it. I then exited itunes to try again and I tried again but this time it wouldn't download at all. I even uninstalled itunes and redownloaded the setup and I'm still having the same problem. What is going on here? Will I ever get my digital copy?

  • Disney Digital Copy won't play on iPhone 4.

    I recently used the Digital Copy feature on a bunch of Disney BluRays I won. They downloaded into iTunes and will play in iTunes. I can sync and load them into my iPhone 4 and they appear in the iPod section under videos with poster art as you'd expect. However when it begins to play I get "This movie could not be played." on the screen. So far I know Monsters Inc and Bugs Life won't play. Am trying the others but they take a long time to synch.

    Just for kicks I snyched some to my son's iPod touch and our iPad, and they play on both. I thought it may have something to do with the fact that I downloaded the Disney films with my sons Apple ID and Coraline with mine, but Coraline and a Disney movie each play on both those other devices. Still the Disney's won't play on the iPhone.

  • Dark Knight digital download NOT in DD 5.1, only stereo?

    Wasn't sure where else to post this, but my Bluray copy of the Dark Knight included a digital copy of the movie. I downloaded it through iTunes, expecting it to be in 5.1 surround sound for my AppleTV2, but it is just stereo. Other digital downloads are in 5.1, like Black Swan and Inception.
    Have others noticed this?
    Does one have to BUY the movie through iTunes to get the 5.1 surround sound?
    Thanks for any responses.
    Mike

    The file will have two audio tracks, a stereo one and an AC3 one, the tv will only play the stereo one but will pass the AC3 audio to anything capable of playing it through either HDMI or optical output. If you aren't getting 5.1, either your equipment doesn't support it or you have it connected improperly.
    If the file simply has 6 channel AAC then you will need equipment that will play that, most receivers won't play 6 channel AAC, so you may only hear stereo if this is the case.

  • My Digital Copy won't transfer to my iPad

    I bought A Bug's Life on Blu-ray that included a digital copy.  I "purchased" the digital copy in iTunes using the included code.  The movie works and plays fine in iTunes, but it won't transfer over to my iPad at all.  I have the latest iTunes and iOS versions and I have set iTunes to automatically sync all movies, all of which do, except for A Bug's Life.  I tried selecting the movie and going to Advanced under the menu, but creating a iPad version is not an option.  Has anyone lse had this problem or a similar problem?  How did you resolve it/can it be resolved?  Thanks in advance.

    It may not be resolvable. You need to read the license you agreed to when you bought it. You may very well only be allowed to use it on the computer it's bought on, not transfer it to another device.
    I know when I bought the copy of Star Trek 2009, paid more for the digital version, only to find out that it's only valid on one computer and one digital device and if I ever want to move it I have to call a phone number and get permission to move it. :-/
    I handle my digital video files differently now.
    Your only recourse may be to read the agreement, if you should transfer it to a device but it won't let you, call the  contact number and see what they can do for you.

  • HT201272 I typed in a digital copy code to get Rise of the Guardians on here because I bought the blu-ray, but the digital copy won't download no matter what I do. Why won't it download? Right now I am very angry for not getting the digital copy.

    I purchased Rise of the Guardians on blu-ray, I typd in the digital copy code that came in the case, the ituns extras downloaded, but no matter what I do, the digital copy of the actual movie won't download. Why won't it download? I've tried everything I could think of, but nothing works, it just simply does not want to download.

    Ok, a new digital copy of Rise of the Guardians started downloading automatically at no extra cost, I admit that I was thrilled, but now my happiness is gone because the new digital copy of Rise of the Guardians simply won't play. Nothing works with it except for the iTunes extras again. I'm getting really tired of this. Why won't it play and why give a digital copy if it refuses to work? Please someone help me out here!

  • Digital copies won't play on Apple TV

    When I try to play digital copies of DVD's with an itunes voucher code they will play on the computer. However when I try to play them on Apple it says authorisation of computer is needed within itunes even though the computer is authorised for Apple TV. Can anyone tell me why. If I play the movie in itunes on the computer I can then stream to the Apple TV but it will not let me play it the other way around.

    I’ve been having the same issue’s [AirPlay / HomeSharing not working or working intermittently] after some digging and testing I found that this worked…please note I made the change 1 hour ago and things are still working.
    Steps to Fix:
    Login to the Router
    Select Wireless settings
    Change the “Wireless Mode” change it to 11G only. [Default is mixed mode]
    Power off your computer[s], Apple TV and all other connecteddevices [wireless/wired].
    Unplug the power on your router and wait 20 seconds…then plug it back in.
    Once the router is full started up [5 min]…now turn on all your connected devices such as computer[s], Apple TV and all other connected devices[wireless/wired]
    You should now be able to access Airplay as well as HomeSharing.

  • TS1359 recently purchased the dark knight and it will not play on my 1st gen apple tv what can I do it says it's not the right format

    How can I get the new batman movie to play on my apple tv 1st gen it says it's the wrong format and I don't understand that the batman movies are the only movies I've purchased that will not play. I cannot sync them or stream them.

    If you delete the 1080p version from iTunes (but rescue the file from the trash in case you need it in the future), then go to iTunes Preferences and change download option to SD or 720p HD you should be able to redownload from the cloud under the Store's Purchased section.
    I used to download SD and both HD formats but of late I use the AppleTV 1 less and only get the 1080p HD, though should probably getthe other versions in case I need them one day as they may not be there forever.  It's fiddly to download all 3 formats as you have to mess around with settings but can be done.
    I like to have a copy as there is no guarantee the files will be in iTunes cloud forever.

  • HT3209 HD Digital Copy Download Error

    I have an HD digital copy which i intend to download to my computer for use with my iPad 2, iPhone 4, and iPod Touch but it will not download claiming my computer isn't HD compatible. It's prompting (err = 11111) I don't care if the digital copy doesn't play on my computer, but i do want it within my itunes movies so I can transfer it to my devices including two iPhone 4s, iPod Touch 4th Generation, iPad 2, and my Apple Tv

    there's an update to my problem. I had to close and reopen iTunes and now Dark Knight isn't there at all. I can't find a partial download and when I check for a download it says that I've downloaded everything for this account.
