HDCP is not supported by my HDMI connection

I just purchased a movie from the iTunes store to watch on my AppleTV. When I tried to watch the move, I got an alert saying "Requires HDCP for playback. HDCP is not supported by your HDMI connection. Use the component video connection to watch the content."
What does "Use the component video connection to watch content mean."? I have a lot of wires connecting the various video components connected to my TV that only the Best Buy Geek squad has dealt with, so even if I new what component video connection the alert is referring to I doubt if I can easily connect it.
Should I try to get my money back from Apple's iTunes store or is there a simple way to set things up to watch this movie?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Yesterday my Apple TV worked fine with my Infocus Projector connected by HDMI via DVI converter. Today I can not play any content. I have tried everything. I have the current version of software 2.1. This very unsatisfactory how can it work one day and not the next. I have read some of the comments on this but there does not seem to be any fix. Any suggestions please.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
HDCP is copy protection built into iTunes video content, the Apple TV requires all devices to be HDCP compatible before it will send HDCP content to them. In simplistic terms the Apple TV asks the TV if the signal it will send can be recorded, if it gets the right answer it will send the signal, if it doesn't receive a reply it won't.
Your problem may be one of unsupported equipment or may simply be an error. You could start by checking if your TV is HDCP compliant. If it is the problem might be cabling or another device (such as a receiver) between the Apple TV and TV, it may also just be a glitch which might be resolved by a simple restart.

The same problem here. It's been great to stream TV direct from my Ipad to my 46" and even streaming movies from my Imac. Everything was top notch! But suddenly nothing works. I get to see maybe about 3 sec and then it stops telling me that "The content needs HDCP". But it worked since i bought it in June until now. Really tried eveything with chaningig inputs, chaning output res, cables, update my router. Still nothing... But when i plug it in a smaller and a cheap LCD 22" from LG it seems to work??? Why did it suddenly crash on my big tv that supports hdcp, and it obviously worked for 4 months?? :-(

Intermittent "HDCP isn't supported by your HDMI connection" message

I downloaded a movie with the new Apple TV 2.0, and every once in a while, the screen will go black with a message stating that "HDCP isn't supported by your HDMI connection. This content requires HDCP for playback. Use the component video connection to watch this content.". Not only is this not the case, but it happens very happenstance.
Is this happening to anyone else? If not, does anyone have any ideas as to why, or better yet, to solve it?
On another note- the fact that you can use the Apple TV for AirTunes now, freaking rocks.

I found this on Denon site:
http://ca.denon.com/2082.asp
Unfortunately, it basically says that it is not the receiver's fault (what a surprise!)
Quote:
"This is not a fault of the receiver. Recently set top box manufacturers have become aware of this issue. It has been found that the U-code information appears to be the problem which is part of Annex A of the repeater conformity specifications of the HDMI protocol. Some set top receiver manufacturers have already implemented firmware changes to their units while others are in the process of updating their units. If a set top receiver being used is having problems passing HDMI video signal through an A/V receiver, contact the manufacturer of the set top receiver to see if an update is available."
So I'm taking this to mean that my receiver is very picky about the HDMI protocol, and the ATV isn't quite conforming to it. Maybe other brands of receivers are passing the signal?
I suspect I probably won't have much choice for now but to either connect the ATV to the Denon using component cables and an optical cable for 5.1, or use HMDI directly to the TV for video and an optical cable for 5.1 audio.

I cannot play rented movies from i tunes and netflix theres always a plug on my tv screen "This content requires HDCP for playback." HDCP isn't support by your HDMI connection.

I rented twice already in my ITUNE movies but can't watch thru Apple TV just of this issue" This content requires HDCP for playback.
Pls response to this issue.

unplug tele power lead for 10 seconds, then try again. Worked for me.

Apple tv not letting me play movies saying HDCP playback not supported

Apple tv, go into netflix try to play movies, wont let me say's HDCP playback not supported. Called netflix tryed various things, they believe it's the apple device itself, tryed to contact apple of course you have to buy $35 pkg for support , so now I don't want to pay that I would rather just go buy another apple tv which would cost my $100 but would I still have the same issue?

Welcome to the Apple community.
The first thing to check is that your TV is HDCP compliant. If you are sure that it is:
Check that the HDMI cable is correctly seated at both ends.
Try disconnecting the cable and connecting it again.
Try another HDMI cable.
Try the Apple TV with another TV

HT4060 My USB charger is not supporting while i am connecting from PC to iPad for charging (showing as " Not Charging"), Kindly advice me

My USB charger is not supporting while i am connecting from PC to iPad for charging (showing as " Not Charging"), Kindly advice me

Hi Folks,
I have tried most of what have been said here ( thank you for the great Job) but unforunatally it didn't solve the issue.
However, now the "Not Charging" message in the right corner disappeared and my iPad is charging normally from my laptop.
The reason behind that is using the USB3.0 port in my Dell inspiron N5110. Earlier, I was using the USB 2.0 ports and that is why it was showing that message but as sooon as I pluged it in the eSATA USB 3.0 port , the message disapeared and the iPad started charging normally.
So don't waste ur time here and there try to plug it to USB 3.0 port and it will works, Insha ALLAH.
Cheers

Mode not supported when trying to connect mac to tv

I'm trying to connect my Mac to the TV as I do nearly every day using my HDMI cable via the apple HDMI adaptor (don't know exactly what that cable is called). But when I try it cuts in and out in fuzziness for a bit then eventually comes up with the error message on my tv "mode not supported". I can't see any visible faults in the cables at all. Do I need to replace one or both of the cables? Or is there something else wrong? If it's the cables, how do I figure which needs replacing without having to buy both if it's only one of them? Help!

"Mode not supported", when try to connect to TV

When I try to connect my Lenovo T440s to my TV using VGA cable, I get a "Mode not supported" message on the television screen and the laptop screen goes black. Some points that may make it easier to troubleshoot: 1. I was able to connect to this laptop successfully to this TV on prior occasions. 2. I am able to connect this laptop to an external monitor in my office successfully 3. I am able to connect other computers to this TV successfully. So what could it be? Any thoughts?

This content requires HDCP for playback, HDCP isn't supported?

This content requires HDCP for playback, HDCP isn't supported by your HDMI connection. This content requires HDCP for playback. What the! What is this all about? It appears that no one knows how to fix this. Have I wasted my money here?

I am assuming you are connecting your iPad via the Digital AV connector to a TV. If so, it sounds like the TV does not provide HDCP. Is this the case?

"Mode not supported" Mac mini connected to LCD TV via HDMI

Hello, new mac min owner here (2.5) (September 2011). I followed the instructions in the "hello" booklet, including attaching peripherals, such as mouse and keyboard. I also connected a Samsung LCD TV via HMDI cable - as I propose to use this as my monitor. I then switchedn on the macmini, as directed in pages 11-16 of the macmini 'hello' handbook. Unfortunately I cannot even progress to the setup assistant as my TV just tells me that the "mode is not supported" through the HDMI cable. I assume that some output settings need to be changed in the macmini to accommodate the LCD TV output range.
My question is, how do I change these settings if the only screen I have is the screen that the macmini will not output to? Isn't this a massive oversight by Apple, given that a major selling point is the macmini's versatility?

What you are seeing, where you can't see the edges of the image, is known as "overscan".
This is something TVs have done forever to avoid seeing weird stuff at the edges of the transmitted frames.
The display control in System Preferences lets you turn overscan on or off (it is a checkable item in the "Options" panel). You might need to have this checked to display video, but you sure don't want it checked to use the TV as a computer display.
Although I have overscan OFF on my older Mac Mini, I've had the problem where sometimes after a restart the display is in overscan mode. To fix this, I can "guess" where the apple menu is off the top left of the screen, get to system preferences, check overscan to be on and then uncheck it to turn it back off. If you can't guess where the apple menu is successfully, you might try accessing the Mini from another Mac by using screen sharing. The shared screen looks correct even if overscan is on.

Help I itunes will not recognize my iphone or ipod. Trouble with USB driver, device not running in safe mode, and HDCP not supported.

Help! When I connect my iphone or ipod touch to my computer, windows recognizes my device but itunes will not. I can still see my songs, videos, and access the itunes store but my phone and itunes store have no connection so it does me no good. I have for 2 days now tried every trouble shooting method posted with no luck. I think I may have finally found a lead. My Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is showing up under portable mobile devices while it is supposed to be showing up under universal serial Bus controllers from my understanding? Also, while running my diagnostic report under itunes it also says itunes is not running in safe mode, it is not showing enabled in windows firewall (which it is checked), and the HDCP is not supported. I don't know what to do? I am in tears here, someone please help!!!

G5 with samsung 52" tv Mode not supported

Does anyone know how I can make my Powermac G5(single 1.8 ATI Radeon 9800pro) work with my Samsung 52 inch TV at HD resolution
I am attempting to convert my old Powermac G5 into a media computer. At some point I may want to add a blu-ray drive.
When I use the DVI on the G5 with a DVI to VGA adapter and connect to the TV via its VGA input. There is no picture and the TV says "mode not supported".
When I connect a second monitor to the ADC (via ADC to DVI) I can get the G5 to show up on the TV in mirror or extended mode (if I set the resolution to 1024 x 768 or less).
I have tried hocking up a monitor via VGA, setting the resolution to 1024x768, then shut done, restart with TV attached and still "mode not supported"
I have also tried making the TV as the main desktop in extended mode then restarting without the second monitor and still "mode not supported"
I tried a DVI to HDMI adapter but I got nothing "searching for signal" I would assume this should work so it might have been bad so I am going to exchange it and get a new one and try that.
?

I had to do the same, that is, accept a lower resolution for my LCD TV.
Using a Geforce 6800 GT, I have an interesting mix of "i" and "p" resolutions, but, as with the 9800 Pro, no 1920x1080p.
Just as well, though, as I couldn't read the text at highest resolution.
I'm pretty sure that this is simply a case of the high resolution 16:9 ratios not being supported in these older cards.
The resolutions that are available in the firmware of the cards are predominately for 16:10 ratio screens.
Remember, HDTV is a lot newer than most all AGP graphics cards.
I guess, when I have time, I'll have to play with DisplayConfigX and see if there is hope.

Why doesn't the MBPr support 2560x1440 over HDMI with OSX when Windows7 (bootcamp) supports it just fine?

I purchased a 2013 MBPr 15" (the first Mac I've ever owned btw) and so far have enjoyed the experience. I purchased a large 27" high resolution 2560x1440 non-Apple display which I planned on using HDMI output for, since HDMI has no problem supporting this resolution. After receiving this display yesterday I came to the sad realization that OSX does not support 2560x1440 over HDMI. However, under further investigation I found that Windows7 in Bootcamp on the same machine will beautifully display the full 2560x1440 over HDMI.
This means that OSX is the problem, and not the MBPr since Windows7 displayed the full resolution with no issue. If the hardware can support it, why would Apple disable it in the software? Is this just their way of forcing people to use DisplayPort? Or is there hope for them fixing this in future versions?

OK. No reason to be playing games here. Just surprised that this issue hasn't been brought up here on the community boards as well. Here's the simple solution

Re: Why can't my Belkin Thunderbolt Express Dock operate my desktop speakers?

After reaching a Level III technician in Belkin customer support today and having spent approximately 4-5 person hours on this issue, we figured out that the Sound/Output preferences in the Apple System Preferences should not be set to "Internal Speakers" but rather set to "USB PnP Sound Device".
Worked like a charm. Simple, elegant solution to a real problem, one likely to be encountered by 90% of the people who buy a Belkin Thunderbid Express Dock off the shelves of any Apple Store to use with a current generation Apple laptop or desktop computer.
But the Level III Belkin technician admmtted that this critical little piece of simple, straightforward information should have been readily available to their Level 1 techies who began helping me 5 person hours ago. Would even have saved Balkin loads of customer service support time.
And so the saga ends
Belkin owes me for helping them learn this precious lesson.

Oracle version not supported

Hi All,
i am having one issue while conntecting oracle version 8.1.7.0.0 from version 11.1.0.7.0 it is showing version not supported.
ORA-03134: Connections to this server version are no longer supported.
can we downgrade oracle version 11.1.0.7.0 client to 10g client on HP -Unix 64 bit operating system, if yes what is the detailed procedure.
thanks in advance
Regards
Mirza

In case of client software simply install the older version in a new ORACLE_HOME, there are no downgrade actions like for a database server. But I think even 10g won't work for 8.1.7.0.0, you need at least 8.1.7.4 .
