HDCP Error with HDMI-VGA connections

We have been using Apple TV 3 Software Version 7.0.2(6915) for connecting the Apple TV to classroom projectors that have a VGA port in. This was working perfectly till last week, and it seems a new software update was pushed to the Apple TV device now we get "This Content Requires HDCP for playback". Tried multiple different options of soft and hard reboots, resets and restarts nothing helps. Connecting the same Apple TV using HDMI-HDMI cable works fine. We are using Kanex HDMI-VGA adapter. If someone has the same issue please write back since there have 26 Apple TVs in the school and is being actively used by instructors to project their work to the class.

As far as I know, 7.0.2(6915) is the latest software version & nothing new has been pushed out by Apple since its release months ago.
You problem is most likely exactly what the error message indicates: the content (for example commercial movies from a streaming service or an iTunes library) you are trying play on the ATV is protected by the HDCP encryption standard, so unless the Kanex adaptor supports HDCP internally, the ATV will not output the protected content to it.
I looked on the Kanex website to see if they claim the ATV Pro adaptor supports HDCP but nothing there says if it does or doesn't. Also, one of the U.S. Apple Store questions about the device has conflicting answers for that, so I suggest you contact Kanex directly for a more definitive answer & perhaps some help with the issue.
Failing that, you could try your setup with some content you know is not protected by HDCP (like a home movie in an iTunes library). If that works, then the problem almost certainly is that the Kanex doesn't support HDCP & you will not be able to use it with any content so protected.

To map the drive on your computer click on Start - RUN - type "\\192.168.1.1" and click ok... When prompted for Username and Password type "admin" and click ok... Now you will be able to see the folder which you have shared on your router, right click on it and select "Map network drive" and click on finish.
Now it will map the drive on your computer and you should be able to transfer the file from your computer to the USB drive.

No audio with HDMI cable connect - need optical cable?

I have just connected my AppleTV 2 with my Pioneer ELITE 910 HD Plasma TV system. I have a hard wire ether net connected. I have a great picture coming out of the HDMI connection from AppleTV plugged into my ELITE 910 HDMI Media Receiver. But I am not hearing audio. I have gone through the 'settings' menu on the AppleTV screen and have every setting correct (I believe) It might appear that I may have to purchase an Optical Digital Audio Cable that would input into my Pioneer ELITE VSX-54TX receiver (that does have an Optical Digital Input that has not been used.)
Am I on the right track? I was hoping the video AND audio would travel through the HDMI connection. I don't want to spend money on the cable if I don't need it.

Re: No audio with HDMI cable connect - need optical cable?
Yes, audio and video should go via HDMI.
Do other peripherals work ok with the pioneer over HDMI.
My LG BlueRay player works fine. My TIVO works fine -- good audio and video
AppleTV is a bit odd with audio at times.
Does the pioneer media box handle doilby digital and linear PCM?
I don't know what "linear PCM" is. All the specs on this 2004 system are here:
http://plasmatvbuyingguide.com/plasmatv/pioneer-pro910hd.html
If you have Dolby Digital set to Auto I'd expect you to get some audio - if set to On and media box can't decode DD then you may get no sound.
Try cycling those settings as well as the one for audoo bit depth.
Have done all this. Still no audio

HDCP error with new HDCP compliant monitor

I just bought a new Asus VE228H monitor. I have a ATI Radeon HD 4200, HDCP compliant video card and I am running Windows 7 and iTunes 12.1.1.4. Even though the new monitor is HDCP compliant, I still get an HDCP error in iTunes. I replaced the cable with a new HDMI cable and I still get the error. I have tried searching online for a solution, but haven't found a solution. Thanks in advance for your help.

SUCCESS ....... for now ......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i have now got my atv2 unit to power back on - and we can play the rented SD movie which is playing now to a happy family....
No HDCP error message appeared this time.
This what we did to fix our issues....
1) Pressed the HDMI cable more firmly into the HDMI port into TV - this allowed the ATV2 to actually show/reappear onto the tv panel.
2) Plugged both power leads for TV and ATV DIRECTLY into wall. (Previously, we had both AC leads plugged into a 4x multi power board and had this plugged into the wall.
We started the SD movie and no HDCP error appeared and movie is still playing as i type...
Now, to repeat this error/diagnostic, we then plugged the TV power lead back into the 4 x multi power board and plugged the board back into the wall. Immediately, the dreaded HDCP error re-appeared. We then replugged TV back into wall directly and no HDCP error message.
Hypothesis #1 :
Now, this 4 x multi power board also had our DVD player and stereo connected to it. Perhaps our DVD (potential recording device) was being detected and hence the HDCP barrier came up so that we were not able to record this movie.... just a hunch but sounds plausible.....
Hypothesis #2 :
Also, this 4 x multi power board was within immediate vacinity of the ATV2 unit. Possible interference.....
When the 'dust' settles and the family finishes watching the movies, (1 x HD , 1 x SD), i will plug the 4 x multi power board into another AC wall socket way out of the way of the ATV2 unit (around 4m) and try to repeat this error to validate my hypotheses - noted above.
I will report findings later in around 6 hours...
thanks for your help people...

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.

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

Using Keynote with USB Vga connection

I'm trying a new setup for two projectors, where I'm hooking up one using a mini displayport on an imac, connecting it via DVI, and a second one through a USB VGA connection. Previously, we were using a VGA splitter off the displayport, which kept me from having a digital connection for the one (better) projector.
This setup seems to work fine except in Keynote. I have the two projectors setup to mirror each other, while the imac serves as the main display. In other programs, the mirroring works, but in Keynote, when I activate the slide presentation, the VGA projector goes black. To my untrained eye, it appears as if Keynote is overriding the OS' display setup, and is only using the display port's connection as the secondary display.
Hope I'm explaining this well enough. Anyone have any suggestions?

In my experience, most current business projectors will display at 1024 X 768, although older/cheaper models may have a native resolution of 800 X 600. Most projectors can rescale some higher resolutions, but I'd say that you're safest to not go above 1024 X 768. Also, although some projectors will have digital inputs, many business projectors will not, and so it is vital to have the VGA connector. While you may lose a bit of quality, in the cases where you need it, you won't likely have any other option.

ITunes visualizer problem with RGB (VGA) connection to plasma tv

when i use my vga connection on my laptop to my plasma tv and use itunes, for some reason i cannot get the visualizer to work. it just goes black for a split second and then just back to itunes screen. any idea why that would be? the visualizer works fine when not connected via VGA.

Well I guess I won't get an answer here, can anyone tell me who/where to find out what the problem is? Thanks!

Flicker with ipad2 VGA connection

I recently bought an ipad2, hoping to use it for powerpoint/keynote presentations while travelling. The first time I used it with a VGA connector to a projector there was screen flicker, which I was told is due to different screen resolutions. How is this fixed?

Turn off the security and firmware on your computer while you are updating ,that should speed things up.

HDCP Error with atv2 and Philips TV

I tried different hdmi inputs, even downloaded a new firmware on the Philps TV, restarted the atv but nothing worked. Now I payed for 2 films for I´m not able to see. Does any one can help me????

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

INSTALLATION FAILS WITH HDMI MONITOR CONNECTION

Setup: Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2H mobo w/NVIDIA 7100/630i chipset
                Intel E2200 CPU
                Seagate 320GB 7200rpm laptop SATA II HD on eSATA
                Seagate 160GB 7200rpm laptop SATA II HD (internal)
                2 GB 800 MHz RAM
                HP w2207h monitor on HDMI port
                Sharp LL-171A-B monitor on VGA port
                External USB DVD
On-board video drives both monitors.
After an eight hour download I attempted to install Win 7, only to spend eight hours troubleshooting the installation process. No matter what I tried the installation always failed about one minute after the ‘Completing Installation’ phase started. There was no hint of what was causing the problem – the monitor screens suddenly went black and the system rebooted. Installation finally succeeded after I disconnected the HP monitor from the mobo’s HDMI port. I tried another install with only the HP monitor connected and the install failed once again.
After the installation successfully completed using only the VGA monitor, hot-plugging the HP monitor to the HDMI port brought the HP to life and Windows automatically set the correct resolution.
This issue is apparently unique to Win 7 because I have not experienced installation issues with XP regardless of monitor configuration.
Once the monitor issue was identified, total time to accomplish a clean install was < 15 minutes on the above system and slightly longer my older AMD – based backup machine. I encountered no other issues with clean installs on the internal HDs or on the external eSATA - connected HD on either system.   IMO, MS has done an excellent job in redesigning the installation procedure. The entire process is about as hands-off as it can get and it’s fast, too. Nice job, guys!

OMG! It worked! Unplugged HDMI and DVI. Used an old VGA Cable for my TFT and it all worked. Windows installs the nVidia driver right after you log in the first time. After that HDMI and DVI work. Cool.

Random HDCP errors with Netflix

I've been getting random HDCP problems when streaming from Netflix, the error message "This content requires HDCP for playback". Have tried the various fixes discussed here (swapping out my HDMI cable, power-cycling the ATV 2). Some days it works, some days it doesn't, and it's getting very frustrating. I have a Sony Blu-ray player that also streams Netflix, and it works fine. I prefer the interface of the ATV 2, but I'm getting fed up with it working only inconsistently. Also...I was under the impression HDCP is some sort of DRM for downloaded movies, why would/should this even apply to streaming Netflix content??

Swapping HDMI cable was a sensible thing to try.
I would also test another HDMI input if you have one.
I can't get Netflix in UK but would assume Netflix may require HDCP to prevent copying of it's streams - the big companies want to prevent you from copying/recording shows/movies irrespective of how you watch them.

HDCP error with iTunes 11.3.1 update

I recently cannot watch any HD content on my computer purchased through iTunes. Just started happening with the latest 11.3.1 update. I get the old HDCP content cannot be played message even though I have all apple gear, could play the content a few weeks ago with the last iTunes, monitor is more than capable of playing HD content, and the movies play for 10-15 seconds and then freeze and the error message pops up. Never an issue before. Apple Cinema display connected to a Mac Pro from 2012 running Mavericks and iTunes 11.3.1.
I have reset my SMC a few times and it does not help. Any ideas, or do I just find another way to get media. I will just buy DVD's and rip them to my mac if this is the new NORM. It will play fine on my TV through Apple TV, but not on my computer through iTunes.
Thanks in advance.

I have exactly the same Problem: Has always worked before, came "out of the blue" after latest updates, hardware is more than capable, have tried every maintenance option known to me.
In the meantime, I also tried 6 different configurations of OSX and iTunes via external boot disk together with my hardware, from OSX 10.8.5 to 10.10 (beta) and iTunes 11.1.4 to 12.0 (beta) and voilá: everywhere it WORKED! So the error seems to be software based and seems to occure while updating a system over time. A solution could be to clean install the Mac with a fresh system, but at the moment I don't have the time for that. Hopefully others will chime in into this discussion and Apple will get aware of the problem.
Will also try to get in touch with Apple-Tech-Support, but my Apple-Care-Warranty is over and I'm not willing to pay 50 bucks for that phone call. Also don't have a Genius-Bar around...
My workaround for now is, to use an external boot disk with a clean OSX 10.9.4, log in with Apple-ID and play the movies.
