Displaying Protected Movies

I downloaded an HD episode of Mad Men that didn't get DVRd. The download was on our MacBook Pro (maybe 1st gen? I wish Apple would give products unique &#$%ing names!). It could not play it (grey content, no audio) and gave no warning/error message about authorization.
I also tried plugging the MacBook Pro into an older Samsung plasma via HDMI. No dice.
I copied it to my Mac Pro (two 20" Cinema Displays - the 2nd generation aluminum CCFL-backlit ones) and copied it into iTunes. Can't play it there either, with the following error:
*This movie cannot be played because a display that is not authorized to play protected movies is connected.*
Try disconnecting any displays that are not HDCP authorized.
iTunes is set to show videos in their own window. I tried all other options too. Everything is up to date. Playing the video in QuickTime Player results in the same problem.

I export them by movie to .Mov in the export menu, with most recent in the use drop down menu

I have new IPad ...can't watch rented downloaded movie on my tv..error message is " The connected display is not authorized to play protected movies"... What is up with that???

I had exact same problem and I have found a way to get round out!!!! Easy!
So the reason it doesn't allow it to play is for security to stop piracy etc.
Plug in the cable and VGA and aux cable and get everything set up so you are looking at the home screen.
1) select Videos
2) selected the film you want to watch
3) click the little play button
4) it will then come up with the message saying it can't play protected films blah blah blah
5) WITHOUT clicking ok double tap the home button to bring up the multitasking bar and swipe left to reveal the control panel
6) hold fast forward for a second or two and the movie with continue to play!
Stay in the multi tasking bar with the control panel, The message will stay there but don't worry. Kick back and enjoy your iPad movie on the big screen:)
I'm sure your saying thanks:) it was my pleasure realising I've outsmarted apples little security protection thing lol

All of sudden apple tv will not play my tv shows/movies on itunes. It says "The connected display is not authorized to play protected movies.
Can anyone help I have just bought alot of movies and tv shows and want to watch them with my family not just on my ipad!!!
Not sure why this has just started happening. have been using apple tv with my ipad for months and now it comes up with this error...
THanks

Firstly restart the AppleTV, secondly check the HDMI lead and if possible swap for another or another HDMI input - sounds as though AppleTV thinks the TV is not HDCP capable.

Not authorized to play protected movies

So I have a APPLE 30" CINEMA display and a late 2008 MacBook Pro. NO third party equipment. I download a HD movie from APPLE iTunes. I get this message:
"This movie cannot be played because a display that is not authorized to play protected movies is connected."
Apple, you are pathetic and your HD content is BS.

It may not be of much help or consolation but you can read about the HDCP issue at this link: iLounge - iTunes Store HD Movies Don’t Play on My Monitor: Solutions
Quote "If you’re using a relatively new Mac, specifically one with a Mini DisplayPort connector, and trying to play iTunes Store HD movies through any external monitor other than Apple’s recently-released 24" LED Cinema Display, you’re most likely out of luck. Click on the video and iTunes will give you an error message: “This movie cannot be played because a display that is not authorized to play protected movies is connected. Try disconnecting any displays that are not HDCP authorized.”........
The reasons for this error message are simple: Apple has started to support HDCP, “high-bandwidth digital content protection,” an Intel-developed way to stop high-definition videos from being played on older, less secure receiving devices."

My apple tv main menu no longer displays the "movies" section, just internet, computers, and settings. Does anyone know why or how to get it back up? Recently rented a movie directly through apple tv but can't see the movies section in main menu now.

My apple tv main menu no longer displays the "movies" section, just internet, computers, and settings. Does anyone know why or how to get it to show again? Recently rented a movie directly through apple tv but can't see the "movies" section in main menu now. WiFi and home sharing are working.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check the location setting for the iTunes Store is correct.
You might also try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
If you are still having problems try a restore.

External casts not using relative paths when protect movie

We make educational software using Director - the basic form
of the software is a stub movie projector with a load of protected
movies in a series of folders and sub folders - shared resources
are located in external casts within the folder hierarchy but not
necessarily within the same folder as the movie - this has worked
fine for ages. Navigation between movies is working fine, but..
..some of the movies are looking for external casts at their
original locations (absolute paths) rather than relative to the
movie file, so I can't port the project to another computer/
release the software without getting the error messages. Even when
I recreate the movies from scratch and link up the external casts,
I am getting the same result, almost as if the dir to dxr process
is not switching the movies from absolute paths to relative
paths..??
Any ideas appreciated!

Hi,
If I understand the problem correctly, I see two ways of going forward:
1. Hard code the entire URL.
2. Calculate the correct URL with JavaScript. I have a JS function for that on: http://www.wvanweelden.eu/blog/2012/08/03/get-relative-link-project-root

HT4437 Cannot play protected movies on AirPlay from iPad

I cannot play a movie from my iPad to my Apple TV device. I get an error "cannot play protected movies". Why is this when I bought the digital copy with the Blu-ray Disc ?

I'm not aware of any third-party receiver that supports video over AirPlay, so you'll probably need an Apple TV. But then, as long as you have a WiFi network in your house, you should be able to play the movie through the Apple TV to your projector without needing Internet as long as the movie has completely downloaded. For more information on AirPlay see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4437
In some cases, though, people have reported that even with the rental completely downloaded (or so they said) it still asked to connect to the iTunes Store, so it's not 100% reliable, it seems.

Movies on iPhone 6 plus won't play on my tv with the adapter. Device not allowed to play protected movies. It worked before the update

I Just tried to play a movie off of my iPhone 6 plus ios 8.1 on my tv using the hdmi adapter, the movie plays for about 2 secs and then tells me the device is not authorized to play protected movies.. I have power rebooted my phone closed everything out and it stil isn't working.. I can do anything else like view web pages and Netflix just not purchased movies from iTunes.. Oh and it worked before the update I used it several times..

Mr Ram,
There is a group of Quicktime specialists in Apple.com ⇒ Support ⇒ Discussions ⇒ Quicktime .
The more data you give us, the easier it is to help us help you to diagnose your problem. Your disk space would be very useful. Contrary to some, I advocate iDefrag to assist VLC and MPlayer, which you were a little hard on.
GNU/Linux's free offerings
MPlayer was developed a decade ago, and I prefer it for viewing DVDs (for 'DVD Player') seems too dark. VLC (legally) copies many CRM-protected DVDs of yours, so you can play only the burned copy. When I'm having a problem playing a DVD, the VLC log tells me all: only perfect DVDs play well on VLC.
There are two ways of viewing everything.
Streaming MPEG-4
+H.264/MPEG-4 AVC+ is a fancy codec based upon MPEG-4: it requires a powerful processor to de-compress it. I watched an MPEG-4 movie from a G3 iBook in 2005. It played flawlessly.
Your Problem
Quicktime 7.X applications can not play +H.264/MPEG-4 AVC+ streams. It was a bug Apple never fixed. Frames are dropped because H.264 is so slow that it requires special hardware. You, I'm sad to say, don't have it.
To quote the Wikipedia on Quicktime: 'QuickTime 7 lacks support for H.264's Sample Aspect Ratio .[67] QuickTime X does not have this limitation; many Apple products (such as iTunes and Apple TV) still use the older QuickTime 7 engine.'
My Quicktime Pro on a PPC PowerBook is 7.6.4. You can either use a Linux transplant or upgrade to Quicktime X. Those more familiar with Macs may have better ideas for you.
My best,
Bruce

Playing Protected movie on ipod from itunes

Can any one explain to me why i cant put a protected movie that i purchased from itunes, on my daughters ipod touch. The movie goes onto the ipod but will not play.
regards
lodgeteck

Because the CD does not have digital encryption that has to be broken. As I said above, what is illegal is the breaking of the encrytion. It isn't so much the actual copying of the DVD content itself, which one could argue could be legal in many different "fair use" applications.
Yes, I agree it doesn't make sense, but that is how the badly concieved law reads...
www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf
www.copyright.gov/title17/chapter12.pdf
So it is still illegal for Apple to create software designed to break DVD encryption, at least in the USA and other World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) member countries who recognize that law.

How to display planned movement date and actual movement date together?

Hi, Professionals,
My purpose is to list delayed outbound deliveries.
Anyone could tell me how to display planned movement date and actual movement date?
Appreciate your help.

Thanks Shiva.
I tried another way to do it. It works only for a short period of time.
By using VL06O, I list all outbound deliveries by limiting both planned goods movement dates and actual goods movements dates to the same week I would like to inspect. Say both from 7th/11 to 14th/11.
then I list outbound delivery list with planned goods movement date to 7th/11 but left out actual goods movements dates this time.
In excel, I compare those two lists and filter out those unique ones because those unique documents means delayed deliveries which cannot delivery according to planned date.
However, the "delayed" list generated by this method has some noises. Not all of documents are really delayed although most of them do.
I'm also looking for a way to list sales documents number of these delayed delivery documents so i can retrieve order details from it such as order value.
Help still needed.

ITunes store for iPad won't display the movies / tvshow taps

My iPad iTunes store will not display the (movies , tv show, music) taps at the end of the screen.

Howard-
Could you have used a different computer to do the initial setup of your iPad? If so, the other computer's Apple ID may be what the iTunes store is looking for.
To get around that, you may need to connect to your computer that has the correct ID and restore from iTunes. In the worst case, you might need to reset the iPad to factory settings by erasing all data, and then set it up as new.

IPad 2 to Apple TV: Cannot Play Movie - The Connected Device is not authorized to play protected movies.

I am getting the 'Connected Device is not authorized to play protected movies' message.
Here is my setup:
From the iPad 2 I used iTunes to Rent a movie - Safe House in SD.
I then used Airplay Mirroring to send the movie to my Apple TV.
The Apple TV is connected to a Vizio V0370M HDTV.
According to Vizio all of the HDMI ports have HDCP.
When the movie starts I get this error message on the iPad.
I have used this approach in the past with success.
I rented a couple of episodes of HBO's True Blood and they played just fine on the Vizio through Apple TV.
I believe some were in HD and some SD.
Using the iPad with Airplay Mirroring is a very nice way to send content to the HDTV.
I was hoping I'd be able to do this for anything that is on the iPad.
Is there something wrong with my configuration? Or what I'm trying to do?
Thanks for any help or advice!

I had exact same problem and I have found a way to get round out!!!! Easy!
