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 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.

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!

Music bought from iTunes a few years ago won't play on iPhone 4s

I've found that certain tracks that I bought from iTunes a few years back, all protected MPEG-4 audio files, won't play on my iPhone 4s. They play fine in iTunes on my computer, but when the track comes up on my iPhone it will simply run through the time of the song but no music will play. In some cases, I've had two versions of a song by the same name and it played the wrong version of the song with the correct name and album cover.
I've tried resetting the phone, as well as taking all the music off of it and resyncing it. Nothing seems to work. Will restoring the phone really help? This problem first arose after I updated my iPhone to 5.1.1.

I bought an iPhone 5 and could not add music to it. Same problem: grey songs. After hours searching forums and blogs I found this solution. Works for me! Now I manually add songs using iTunes and no problem. Hope it helps.
1. Download and install iExplorer http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/
2. Plug in device first, then open iExplorer
3. Delete the iPhone\Media\iTunes_Control folder (you may want to copy this, just in case)
4. Restart the iPhone / iPad
5. Start iTunes. Not restore iPhone from back up, select New iPhone (don't worry, you will not lost apps or data on your iPhone doing this)
6. Add music manually with iTunes

Some random songs/albums won't play on iPhone

I bought an album off of iTunes but after I synced my iPhone to my mac, the songs won't play on the iPhone. I did a spotlight search on the phone and it says they are on there but they won't play. I have my phone hooked up to my computer right now and it says i should have 1818 songs on the phone but in the phone's about section it says I only have 1773 songs. The unplayable songs range from being imported cd files to purchased songs from iTunes. I've tried restoring my phone, performing some disk utility stuff, reimporting my library on my mac, a lot of restarting and what not. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks!

I've had the exact same problem, and I think it's related to the iOS 4.2.1 update. Certain songs will simply not play on my iPhone after the 4.2.1 OS update, even though they work fine in iTunes. I've re-synced multiple times to no avail. The problem also happens with ringtones, which means I've missed a number of alarms because the ringtone I chose for the alarm no longer works on the iPhone!
I really hope Apple is planning to release a fix for this. It is incredibly frustrating.

Certain albums won't play on Iphone but still play perfectly fine in Itunes

Since I updated my Iphone to IOS5, certain albums won't play. They work perfectly fine in Itunes on my imac and the still appear in my library on the Iphone, but it won't start playing. The strange thing is, they are all albums from this year. All the rest is working properly.
Allready tried importing the whole library again but that was a waste of time.

Having the same problem with only a few albums.
Any news on this issue?

Video says it won't play on iphone 4s

bought and downlaoded hd video to my itunes library. Go to move it to my Iphone 4s and get message saying it won't play on this iphone.

Try resetting all settings/ restore the phone. But be sure to backup. These steps are the usual resolutions. I don't really know anything else that would solve this issue. I'm trying to look for an article for this but it didn't help. Maybe you can try searching youtube forums.

ITunes Launch Failed When trying to authorize Disney Digital Copy

I recently bought two older Disney Movies Tangled and Up that used the old disc based method for authorizing a digital copy. On both movies, after selecting the itunes option, i recieve the error below:
iTunes Launch Failed.
Your iTunes software is either out
of date, not currently installed in your computer, or does not meet the minimum
system requirements. Click
here to download the latest version of iTunes. If you experience problems
with the iTunes software, please contact Apple support at http://www.apple.com/support/itunes.
This seems to be related to the new iTunes version 12.1.1 since this disc based authentication worked on ver 11 and 10 for me on the same computer. I have tried on multiple machines all running the 12.1.1 version with the same results (dont have any with the old version )
The are all running windows 7 64 bit. I attempted to redeem using the option in itunes directly and digitalcopyplus but it states i must authenticate with the disc.

I tried extracting the DVD contents and editing the xml to remove the version number but to no avail. I am in the right place to get an answer for this issue?

Ringer and alert messages won't play on iPhone 4 when someone calls or sends a message, just vibrates.

Hello, I updated my iPhone 4 and after updating it to 5.0.1, all my sounds won't play, it vibrates when someone calls me, but it will not ring, or notify if there is a new message, however when I go to setting n tap the song to preview it, it will play, what happened to my phone this has never happened before I updated to ups 5.0.1, I already turned it off and back on but still no good, please help.

Rebooting the phone seems to have solved this for the time being. I will let everyone know if it recurs.

ITunes songs won't play on iPhone 5

I've had my iPhone 5 for about a year now. Never had this trouble before switching to this unit. Never took the time to try and figure out the problem, as I knew it would be a long drawn out process over the phone, but this has been an issue since day 1. I'm missing my music...and I'm ready to listen to my purchases again!!
My music is in my iTunes account on my computer...in the library. However, on my iPhone, only a small percentage of the songs are available to be played. All others are greyed out.
I searched the discussions here and saw a post that said that maybe I need to authorize my computer. Did that, didn't change anything. I restored the iPhone back to original settings and then back to my backup file. Still not able to play songs.
I also downloaded the songs from the purchased downloads in iTunes, all this did was duplicate my songs, and allow me to play the 500 songs that I can play now.
HELP!!!! I'm VERY frustrated that I have almost 2000 songs, and only about 500 that I can play. I paid for this music ($0.99 for some, $1.29 for most, that's well over $2000 spent)...I should be able to listen to my music...ON MY PHONE!!!

Ok SIMPLEST and EASIEST thing to do- this WILL solve your issue:
Go to Settings->General->Usage
Wait for it to populate all the things taking up space on your iPhone. Tap "Music" and then swipe your finger from left to right over the "music" bar. the red "Delete" button will appear. Tap it.
Wait about a minute then power off your phone. Then power it back on.
Go to iTunes app on your device: then "More->Purchased->Music" you should be able to re-download ANY song bought. If you don't re-download on Wi-Fi it will eat at your cellular data plan...be advised.

Video Purchased from iTunes won't play on iPhone 3G

I am using a 3G iPhone, and have been able to synchronize all of my music and videos successfully to the iPhone up until now. Here is the problem, and related steps/issues:
1. I have the series, Mad Men, purchased on iTunes. The episodes appear perfectly on my iPhone. (Note: I also have several of my own videos uploaded to my iPhone, and they play just fine).
2. When I choose an episode to watch on the iPhone, I get the following message:
"This movie could not be played."
3. The same message appears for EVERY episode I have.
4. The episodes play perfectly on iTunes, with no problems.
5. My music is synced perfectly, and plays perfectly. Most of the music on my iPhone was purchased on iTunes as well.
I can't find any explanation or solution as to why this is suddenly happening, with no way to resolve this.
RW

OK, so I just went synchronized another video that was purchased on iTunes. The same exact message appears when I attempt to play the video.
The bizarre part here is that the videos I have made play absolutely fine; in other words, videos NOT purchased on iTunes are playing fine.
Also, the problem was encountered yesterday. I was able to view the videos; a few hours later, when I went back to watch the videos, the problem started then.
