HDCP on Apple TV but not on Computor

I want to buy a HD kids movie on the apple store but I get a message that my computor is not HDCP compatable. The screen I am using for my apple TV is HDCP compatable. Will the movie work on my apple tv even though it will not work on my computor because my computor screen is not HDCP compatable?

Why can't I purchase the HD version of a movie even if my computor is not HDCP compatable. It seems I have to bring the HDCP compatable screen from my apple TV to my computor just to be able to buy the HD versions. Doesn't apple know that there are thousands of apple TV users using HDCP screens and still have simple screens on their computors?

    I have tried to install iCloud on to my Windows Vista pc. No control panel is present and when I try to login to iCloud using my iTunes id, I am told that it is an Apple id but not set up for the cloud. without the control panel where do I set up my iCloud id?

    You can not setup a new iCloud account using a PC. You must use an Apple device (Mac or iPhone/iPad) to create the account, then sign into it using your PC.

    As you already knew, no, you cannot create a new iCloud account from anything but the above devices.

    An update.
    From iCloud Control Panel 2.1.1 for Windows
    "iCloud Control Panel 2.1 and later includes support for Windows 8"
    but you still need to set it up on a Mac or iOS device, "Note: To create an iCloud account you need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later."

    You are logging in iCloud for the first time. In this case, first you need to log in iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac. See > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup
    If you have not got a device to set iCloud up, you cannot use it. You can only use iCloud on your PC if you have got an Apple device

  • I log in with my itunes login - it tells me i have a valid apple id, but not a validi cloud account. Help please???

    Hi, I have just downloaded icloud, its on my desktop fine.  When I try to log-in with my usual itunes id, it tells me - I have a valid apple id but not an icloud account. Am I being dumb or should I be doing something else? - please help, its doing my head in....

    You should have been assigned an @me.com email address, which is the login.  If you moved from MobileMe "paid" then that will be the Apple ID to use.

  • HT204053 I can't log on to icloud from my Windows 7 PC.  It says it's a valid Apple ID, but not icloud.  When I try to log in from my original ID, it says invalid.

    I can't sync my iphone 4 with icloud on my PC.  I downloaded the icloud software and it says my ID is a valid Apple ID, but not an icloud ID - this is right after I've set it up as one.  Help!

    Are you trying to login to an account you already made (on an iPhone or similar) or create a new iCloud account?

  • TS3988 'Valid Apple ID but not an Icloud account

    I have downloaded iCloud onto my PC and when I try to sign in the following message appears 'This is a valid Apple ID but not an iCloud account.' What can I do? Thanks.

    ....some software developers are so smart that they become stupid in the process....I have a valid apple ID but iCloud complains, "your ID is a valid Apple ID but it's not an iCloud account." So, when I go to download the iCloud file to set up iCloud on my computer, the file is about 45MB. I finally get the file downloaded and installed exactly the way Apple said to do it and then the software STILL complains that my Apple ID is not an iCloud account--with no further instructions about how to GET an iCloud account....you're correct, Apple has a long way to go before it's integrity reaches up to the level of 'amateur' regarding their software instructions being user friendly...
    In simple terms then, you can not create a new iCloud account on a PC and an Apple ID is NOT an iCloud account.
    Use a Mac or an iPhone etc to open the account, then (and only then) can you sign into it on a PC.

  • Stupid icloud sign in box says my id is a valid apple id but not an icloud id!  after changing my password it still won't let me sign in, why?

    I finally got tired of updating iTunes and saying no to iCloud.  Stupid me apparently.  Now I'm Faced with a sign in box for iCloud that says my id is a valid Apple id but NOT an iCloud id.  Everything I look at says that the id should work for both.  Well, it's not for me and I am regretting having installed iCloud.  If I can't sign in, or find out how to, I am going to remove iCloud and will never have anything to do with it again as it will be an obviously unusable program.  Anyone know how to fix the stupid thing? 
    OK.  I finally got a new screen that says I have to use my apple id to set up iCloud on a device..I don't have any devices..only my PC, unless a Kindle counts.  Can anyone help here, please?

    Hi kjohns2001,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If you do not have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, then you don't need iCloud.
    It is a service that keeps these devices and your computer synchronized.
    iCloud Control Panel 3.0 for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455
    iCloud keeps mail, contacts, and calendars up to date between your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and Windows PC, and lets you share calendars and task lists.
    So, you can uninstall it from the Control Panel in Windows.
    Cheers,
    - Judy

  • HT204053 i am trying to create an account for icloud. i have had itunes for years and am using my apple id. however it is coming back as saying this is your apple id but not your icloud id??? from what i have read this is the same thing. i cant get passed

    I am trying to create an icloud account and  have used itunes for years . Therefore have been using my apple id to sign in. Unfortunatly it keeps coming back saying this is my apple id but not my icloud id is this different?
    Ive looked at help and it states its the same i have changed my passord several times as i thought it was this. Can anyone please help.??

    I've tried both. First, I tried on my pc, where iTunes had installed iCloud when it last updated. I have iTunes installed on this computer (and on my iPad and iPhone), but that wasn't the issue.
    So I went online, thinking I needed a separate iCloud Apple ID, but it prompted me for my current Apple ID and gave me the message about my ID being "valid" but not an iCloud account," which, lol, was what it had asked me to do in order to create one. I checked, and at least one other user is having the same issue. I'll attempt to copy/paste the Support request url: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4430653?tstart=0
    Thank you for any help you can give.

  • 2nd week running, I received an e-mail saying a new episode of Breaking Bad is available.  When I go to download its the "Inside Breaking Bad" short (which gives away spoilers - thanks Apple!) but not the episode itself.  What gives?

    I've tried this on multiple products so I believe its specific to iTunes not a particular device.

    Same thing here- Get the email but nothing but the Inside featurette. It's really annoying. In fact I can't even download it normally using the check for available downloads feature! Every time I do that iTunes tries to download doubles of three Walking Dead episodes I've already downloaded. I don't want what I already have, I just want the new episode.

  • HT5622 valid apple id but not icloud account.  I tried downloading on a different computer and logging in and it did not work.  I have restarted my computer several times.  I have changed my password several times.  I have tried to access the icloud page.

    repeating error message reads: "valid apple id but not icloud account." when trying to start my icloud account.  I tried downloading on a different computer and logging in and it did not work.  I have restarted my computer several times.  I have changed my password several times.  I have tried to access the icloud page.  Nothing has worked.  Now I have this stupid app and some of my music is still not being shared on both of my computers.

    I have the same problem signing in...but, I finally got a screen saying you have to set up a account on a device..like an ipad to get a iCloud sign in ...my apple id is [email protected]   and this screen reset to [email protected]
    If you don't have an apple device you may be out of luck.  I don't know.  I'm still waiting for help just as you are...good luck to both of us though.
