Downloaded new Star Trek movie but it won't play on my Mini iPad. Shows up as generic gray icon on my iPad.

How do I get it to play?

Make sure the anti virus or fire wall isnt blocking it make sure on itunes you have the comptuer authorized
-Itunes>Advanced/Store>authorize computer>Turn on home sharing and make sure the apple id is the same as whats on the ipad as well.

I rented an iTunes movie, but it won't play on my MacBook

I rented an iTunes movie, but it won't play on my MacBook. All software is updated and current.

Hi I had this problem and tried all the usual deauthorize and the mini player fixes but they did not work for me. What worked in the end was I reset the play count on the movie (right click on the movie under the rented section of your library). I have no idea why this worked but it did.

I downloaded a song from iTunes but it won't play on my iPad

Hi, I purchased a single on iTunes, downloaded it directly onto my iPad, played it twice but now it won't play anymore! I synced with my pc and it plays on there fine. Does anyone know how I fix this bar paying for another download? Thanks

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Downloaded a itunes rental movie, but Apple TV says it is not authorized to show it

I downloaded a itunes rental movie on ipad, but we wanted to view it on Apple TV. However, it said that it was not authorized to show it even though we could see it on the ipad. The funny is that we viewed another rental movie a week ago. We tried to view rental movie and both times, it said that Apple TV was authorized to show these movies. These moves were PG or 14A.
Any ideas or thoughts?

Hi,
Delete track from your library and go to iTunes Store, select purchases under quicklinks and redownload track again.

I've rented a movie, but it won't play on my computer. How can i fix this?

I rented "Django Unchained" and after getting through half of the movie, I cannot get it to start up again no matter what I click on. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I burn a disc the same way I always have using the same brand of discs that I have always used
Describe both your usual disc-burning technique, as well as the brand of discs you're using (as well as whether they're +R or -R).
Are you burning with an internal SuperDrive, or an external burner?
If the disc won't play on your computer and "won't play on any other player either," that sounds like an overall bad disc, not just one that "won't play on my computer."

I paid for and downloaded a song, but it won't play saying the file could not be found. It says this even when I click on the song IN the itunes store, so I can't even listen to the sample now??

I haven't kept records of the songs I have paid for, and a number of songs have recently been displaying this message, making me search my computer for them. Most I have been able to find, but this one immediately "disappeared" the moment I attempted to play it after downloading...... how do I either get it back or get my money back???

How did you do this move? Unless you know what you are doing you have to move the whole, complete iTunes folder.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

I have downloaded a film that appears in my iTunes library, but it won't play. What can I do?

I have downloaded a film into my iTunes library which appears but it won't play. Essentially, when I click to start the film I just get a black movie screen with the control console, but no film. What can I do as I don't want to delete it and download it again at additional cost?
Thanks in advance.

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.

I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work?

I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work? I know that my iPod should take music videos because there is a pre-made playlist called "Music videos". Can anyone help me please????

You can sync the music videos, but they won't play on your 6G Nano, because it does not support video playback. Sorry.

Games I bought years ago, Texas Holdem and iQuiz will no longer transfer to my iPod Classic. They show in my computer "Apps" but they won't transfer. They no longer show that they can be "Re-Downloaded" from "Previously Purchased" they don't exist there.

I have gotten about 4 emails with a quick time attatchment, but it won't play because it says it is in a format it can't read. Do I need to download some sort of additional software for this and if so what?

I have gotten about 4 emails (Frontier) with quick time attatchments, but it won't play them. I just get a mesage saying it can't read it in the current format. Do I need to download additional software and if so what?

You might try adding Perian. It can help QT play a with a wide variety of formats.

If you use extensions like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flashblock that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content. 
You can see the installed Firefox extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions".
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

I imagine a ton of people are attempting to download it right now. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

Hello CTGame,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there’s a grayed out song in your iTunes library that can’t be played or downloaded again like other past purchases. Try taking a look at the article linked below and verify the computer is authorized to play that content.
How to troubleshoot iTunes Match - Apple Support
Songs appear to be missing
Songs containing DRM (Digital Rights Management) might not appear in iCloud, or might appear grayed out. This can occur if your computer is not authorized to play that content. Try authorizing your computer, then manually update iTunes Match. To determine what Apple ID your computer needs to be authorized for to play a specific song:
Locate and select the song in your iTunes library.
Choose File > Get Info.
In the Summary tab, locate the Account Name field in the right column. Write it down.
Click OK.
Choose Store > Authorize this Computer.
Type in the account name from the Summary field and enter its password. Click Authorize.
Choose Store > Update iTunes Match.
So long,
-Jason
