HDCP Error Apple TV with LG

Suddenly, I started getting the following error when attempting to play rented or purchased movies on Apple TV with my LG TV. This setup has been working fine for a year. Trailers play fine, just purchased/rented/Netflix movies don't play. Works fine on my Samsung. Help!
"This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)."

Have you tried another cable and port on the LG?

I have had my apple tv 2 for about 3 months which work perfectly fine when I use it with my iPad 3 ー all of the sudden I get the HDCP Error! I read the forms and done everything! Apple I name a loyal customer, please come out with an update soon!

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

Apple TV 3 HDCP Error

Hi, I have an Apple TV 3. I can watch videos from the apple tv itself like the trailer and movies. However, whenever I tried airplaying from my iPad device. The video loads for a few seconds and I will get a HDCP Error. I've checked up the solution and many of you suggested the handshake error, and have to remove the cables etc. But I've done this countless time and this definitely isn't the issue. It use to work with airplay when I just got it, the problem definitely isn't with the TV or the Cable. Can someone help me?

Playing DRM movies from your ATV, does not prove that it used nor negotiated HDCP successfully.
HDCP is not part of apples DRM, it is part of the Bluray standard to protect the link from a Bluray player to the TV and the Apple TV may be exempt from its use.
But AirPlay is even used on my Pioneer AVR, so maybe Apple had to sign up to the HDCP protection, since they might want to include AirPlay in future TV sets to make HDMI cables redundant.
In any case there is any number of HD media that will play thru HDMI without an HDCP link, HDCP is not required for everything sent over HDMI.
I'm just saying that maybe AirPlay had to include HDCP and maybe the ATV is exempt, that is all I was trying to say.
I also had an bad experience with HDCP, to the point that I thought I needed a new TV, but which turned out to be something wrong in the HDMI cable. The cable worked or not worked depending on how I twisted or bent the cable coming out of the tv.
Now I have writers cramp and an ugly wordy reply!

HDCP error with Hulu and Netflix

I've had a Apple TV 2 for a few years now and it has worked great.. Two days ago it stopped playing Hulu and Netflix and Vimeo.. All worked fine up until then.. It continues to give me a HDCP error when I try to use them.. It will try to load the program then after 4secs I get the error.. I have changed nothing on my set up.. I have reset and restored, unplugged the HDMI cable and power cable as well.. No luck.. The only thing it will play is content I purchase or have purchased from Apple.. Is anyone else having this issues.. Any help would be appreciated!!

I would try testing with another tv to verify the problem is with the tv and not with the atv

Hdcp error on apple tv

Hi, have rented a movie from iTunes on apple tv 3 and hdcp error keeps coming up and won't play movie. Please help!!!! Not sure how to fix???

I recently purchased an Apple TV3 and discovered the dreaded HDCP error as well.
I read through a lot of forums and have listed in order what worked for me. The best solution at the top, some solutions included because, this is 2013 and I still laugh that they were suggested.
Resolving the HDCP Error
(1) Change your HDMI cable to a high speed HDMI cable. My TV was HDCP compliant even though it was a first generation plasma. Thanks Panasonic! But my HDMI cable was not high speed. AppleTV would work some days and not others. It sucked. Then I swapped an HDMI highspeed cable from my PVR sitting in the corner (good riddance cable) and I have no longer seen the HDCP Error. I am keeping my fingers crossed and feel my eylids flicker everytime we fire up an episode of Dexter. Are we going to get the 3 second death pause?... So far no. (Post Enraging HDCP Error Syndrome PEHES)
(1A) Using HDMI port #1 - apparently most TVs don't have HDCP built into all HDMI terminals. This was the case with mine. My appleTV will only stream protected content when I have the cable in the first terminal.
(2) Updating your AppleTV software - when an update is available, I have found the appleTV won't stream without it.
(3) Resetting the appleTV - this includes: powering down the unit, powering down the TV, unplugging the cords (HDMI and power) from the AppleTV and the TV, waiting 30 seconds and reconnecting. This worked only intermittently for me.
(4) Same as 3, but 40 min wait - really? yes really. This worked only intermittently. And is comical. "Now go manually discharge your capacitors!"
(5) Changing the Video Settings on the AppleTV - someone suggested that changing the video settings on the apple TV may actually "reset the device" This did not work for me.
(6) Re-installing AppleTV - seriously? to stream my content I have to re install the appleTV software? I eventually tried this too, and while it took a long time and was annoying, did not work.
Anyway, I hope this is helpful to someone with the same problem in the future.

HDCP error with LG TV...

Hello.
I purchased a new Apple TV for my parents. I first set it up and tested it on my home TV (at 42" LG LCD TV) and all worked fine. So, I gave it to my parents and set it up on their home TV (a 32" LG LCD TV). As soon as they try and play rented content from iTunes store or Netflix, they get an error that says "This content requires HDCP for playback" and the video won't play. So, I brought the Apple TV back home, updated the software on the ATV and tried it again on my TV — again, no issues playing content. So, I brought it back to my parents, thus time with the same HDMI cable I was using at home, but again, I get the HDCP error and the video won't play. Tried three different HDMI cables and many of the suggestions found online to get things working, but nothing. For the records, the TV that won't work is an LG 32" LCD TV, model number 32LH30-UA. Anyone else have this model and having these issues?
Right now, my only solution is to give them my old Apple TV (gen1) in exchange for the new Apple TV (gen2) since the older Apple TV had component connections, so they can at least use that get around the HDCP bug for iTunes rentals (though, they'll be out of luck for Netflix since Apple abandoned older Apple TV users on that one).
Honestly, this is very frustrating. Once again, all these copyright protection "schemes" end up screwing the legit customer. If this doesn't get sorted out, then it's time to provide alternate, copyright protection-free content to my (and their) Apple TVs via the torrent of options available out there...
k.

I searched on LG's website for how to update the firmware on an LG TV. It says you need a "wired connection" (meaning via an ethernet cable) to an Internet modem or router, but my model (the 37LH30-UA) doesn't have an ethernet port. I have emailed LG about the issue, but my conclusion so far is that this TV is just not compatible with Apple TV. We'll see what LG has to say for themselves.
If your parents' TV has an ethernet port, try updating the firmware and see if that works.

Apple TV HDCP error - very strange

hello,
So my Apple TV is a couple years old now and I have never had any issues with it - it has been working with 3 different TVs of mine over the last couple years - I have just tried to use it in a different TV and I keep getting the HDCP error every time I try to play anything on it.
My friend uses his Apple TV perfectly fine on this TV and I have tried with his HDMI cable etc. and I still have the same error which makes me think it is an issue with the box itself.
It is still working just fine on my other TV it's just the new one it won't work on - I have tried all the usual diagnostics even resetting everything to factory settings.
Any ideas anyone?

Hi leistmacman,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like the Apple TV is giving an HDCP error. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Apple tv 2 and HDCP error.

I just replaced my apple tv with a apple tv 2. I have a Sony Bravia KDL-V32XBR1 and I'm getting the HDCP error. I'm using a RocketFish HDMI cable so I'm pretty sure that it supports HDCP.
I can play Youtube, but no netflix and no rental or purchased. I cant do Youtube or any other streamed video from my iPad without getting the HDCP
error message.
Any ideas how to fix?
thanks

This is happening to me too- this is a replacement apple tv because I kept getting the green screen of death! I called for support, because I have iPods, iPhone, MacBook pro and air book in my household and the support people would not address any problems with Apple TV-
I got the impression they felt the product was worthless-
It is just at the one year warranty and I am fed up! NO MORE APPLE TV when there are so many products that offer service.
I have tried changing video output, tv specs, and my gold rocket fish are the best cables around! I think it is apple's new update that took six hours to load a few days ago- Pure garbage! Not even fit for eBay!
Rediculous! Sure will make me think twice about buying apple again!
NO STEP by STEP SOLUTIONS-
Apple has become CORPORATOCRACY PERSONIFIED-
Take our money and then absolutely no service.

Is it possible to input itunes into DVI/HDCP input from imac with Apple mini display portS?

Is it possible to input itunes into DVI/HDCP input from imac with Apple mini display port? Or is there another way?

The problem with itunes is needing a computer running it. or continuous internet connection.
A Time Capsule is AC mains powered.. no battery. Although you can certainly buy an older Gen4 TC and modify it ...
https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/time-capsule-power-supply-repair-kits
I have run my TC on a 12V SLA battery.. which would neatly meet that part of the functionality you want. But it is heavy and not really the rugged sort of device I think you want.
But I would look at other media players and other ways of storing movies than iTunes.. if you want to carry the whole lot around with you .. A bunch of SD cards even you could plug into the ipad??
External storage for iPad?
A small cheap PC/Mac laptop with a 1TB hard disk in it.. and 11" or 13" screen.. can often be a much better solution than lugging around multiple items so you can fit Apple devices into your life.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT5706 I am trying to set up Apple TV with my Uverse WiFi, but I get errors when entering my password. One site said that Apple TV doesn't work with WPA which Uverse uses. Is there anyway around this or will Uverse and Apple TV just not work together.

Trying to set up Apple TV with ATT Uverse. I get errors when trying to enter my WiFi password. One site says that Apple TV doesn't work with Uverse because it uses WPA for encryption. If true, does that mean Uverse subscribers cannot use Apple TV?

No, that's a rather silly conclusion.
There are two options:
stop using the crappy router provided by the ISP.
Physically connect the ATV to the router via Ethernet.

Please help me with this error: "Apple application support was not found... Error 2"

Can anyone please help me with this error: "Apple application support was not found... Error 2"
I've followed the instructions by removing all Apple files from my laptop, but when I reinstall the iTunes software it still comes up with this message:
"Apple application support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2"
Thank you

iTunes "Apple Application Support is required... Error 2" and possible fix.
I know this is a bit late but I came accross this thread trying to resolve this same problem and came up with a solution that worked for me, so thought I would share it here too. I hope it helps someone else.
I just resolved this on Win Vista (should apply equally for Win7 too). Please uninstall iTunes before proceeding though. I'll walk you through the process I followed, if you like you can jump straight to the Solution section.
Problems:
The initial error during the installation of iTunes was:
An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKeyToken='1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b",processorarchitecture="x86". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:0x8007054F
The error (after installing iTunes) when trying to run iTunes was:
Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows error 2).
After trying various fixes around the forums I came across this MSKB article, which relates to the first installation error:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2688946
This lead me to trying to install MS Visual C++ but I received the following error trying to install that:
Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly ‘Microsoft.VC80.ATL,type=”win32”,version=”8.0.50727.762”,publicKeyToken=”1fc8b3 b9a1e18e3b”,processorArchitecture=”amd64”’.

Note: The installation of VC++ rolls back when it fails.
Solution:
Through this error I found this MSKB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946414
The Automated MS "Fix It" msi package didn’t work.
Note: Please backup your registry first (see the above MSKB article for instructions).
I opened the registry and (as instructed in the MSKB article) deleted the following keys:

Reboot and reinstall iTunes.
