HDCP Problem.... Unhappy Customer :(

Well, I have always been happy with Apple products... Until now
Got my shiny new AppleTV, all excited to use it, got my daughter excited to rent a movie for her and blammo! Error!
"This content requires HDCP for playback. HDCP is not supported by your HDMI connection."
The problem is, my TV does in fact support HDCP via HDMI.
I spent an hour on the phone with Apple Support. I was told it is either my TV or my HDMI cable. So I call Panasonic (TV model: PT-50LCX63) and they tell me that if the HDMI connection is displaying a picture, then the TV is fine and it must be the cable...
So of course I head over to BestBuy and get myself the best darn cable they have (well just about). I did not spend the extra $$$ on Monster cables but I did by a good HDMI cable which says it supports blueray and all that jazz so it should work, right?
Nope.
Hook it up, fire up the AppleTV, link up with my macbook to access a movie I bought from iTunes and get the same freakin' error!
Now what?
If it's not AppleTV, not my TV and not the cable, what then? Me?
I can access music, movie previews all the menus, but not movies...
Do I just return the thing and give up?

Am having the same HDCD problem on Netflix, am using a 2 year old Samsung 40" 720p LCD, model LA40S71BX connected directly to the ATV via HDMI.
My HD cable box and HDX Media centre play just fine via HDMI, Netflix gets stuck with the HDCP error, sometimes it plays the first 2 seconds of video before showing the error.
I have tried all the steps outlined below:
Recycle power on both devices, in all possible combos: Failed
New $25 HDMI 1.3b HDCP compliant cales: Failed
Swapped the cables with 3 other HDMI cables: Failed
Set 'Energy Saving' option on the Samsung to 'Off' (worked for some): Failed
Reset Apple TV: Failed
Am calling the Samsung service tech to take a look, its still under extended warranty...hopefully there is a solution. If something else worked for someone please do post!

    The Problem might be.... with the naming of the segment.
    Standard segments should be created with 'E1' and all the custom segments are created using 'Z1' and the name with 8 characters long only is permitted.

  • Problem with custom paper size on dot matrix printer

    Hi All,
    I'm using CR2008 with updated to SP2. I have a problem with custom paper size (W=21; H=14), the CR Viewer show report with custom paper size correctly but when I print it to a dot matrix printer (Epson LQ 300+) the content was rotated to landscape. If print to a laser printer the content was printed correctly. My report was printed correctly by CR10 or previous versions I got this issue when upgraded to CR2008. I aslo tested my computer and printer with orther application like MS Word the printing have no problem with custom paper size.
    Thanks for any advice for me.
    Han

    Looking at the Epson LQ 300+ driver, I see that the latest update is from 2002. In my experience, most matrix printer drivers are not unicode. Crystal Reports is designed to only work with unicode printer drivers. See the [How Printer Driver Options Affect a Report|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/a09051e9-721e-2b10-11b6-f9c65c64ef29&overridelayout=true] article, page 6 for details. Also, see [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_dev/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do] note.
    Finally, see if you can print from the CR designer to this printer and if you get the correct results here.

    Hello Everyone,
    Facing an issue with Web Channel Builder Customer Interaction Module.
    In Web channel builder we have done all the required configuration changes, but still we are not able to get the reviews and rating part in the product detail page.
    We have created a new application and all the other module are working fine ,but the only module that is causing problem is Customer Interaction module. Every time we are activating this module rest modules stops working.
    Can anyone please let us know what could be the root cause of this problem.
    Are  there any setting that has to be done ...that we are missing in?
    I have studied that Product Catalogue is integrated with this module. Are there any setting that are to be done in the Product Catalogue module in Web channel builder?
    Thanks in advance!

  • "HDCP" problems on my macbook.

    For some reason, TV shows that I have purchased recently will now no longer play due to apparent "HDCP" problems on my macbook pro, help! This hasn't been an issue before and I haven't changed any settings at all.

    The TV Show you have purchased is most likley in 1080p and requires HDCP.
    iTunes Store says it clearly:
    Note: If you are trying to view HD video on an external display, the display must have a digital connection (DVI, DisplayPort, or HDMI) and also support HDCP

  • HDCP problem

    Hi!
    Ok, so I just bought a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter to play iTunes HD movies on my TV (Samsung 6755, pretty sure it supports HDCP). I read alot about HDCP problem when searching, but couldnt find my issue anywhere.
    Ok, so my problem is pretty wierd. I can't play movies on my TV using it as an external display (not mirrored) and the lid closed on my new macbook pro (2 months old), I get the HDCP error message. But the wierd thing is that I can play the movie with the lid open. And I can play the movie with the image mirrored with the lid closed and open.
    So not the worst problem, but I would like to play the movie without mirroring the image and being able to close the lid. Because when I mirror the image, I only get the resolution on my macbook pro. And when I can't close the lid, the laptop uses resources to the internal display, right? The movie seems to be a bit choppier.
    Anyone know a fix for this issue?
    Thanks

    I also have the HDCP error appearing on my Apple TV. I have a Toshiba 32BV700B HDTV. How do I upgrade or fix my TV to overcome this error. Thanks

  • HDCP problem on Netflix?

    Streaming on Netflix has been working for me perfectly fine for the past 2 years that I've had the ATV 2. Now all of a sudden I am getting an HDCP error when trying to finish watching a show on Netflix which was just streaming fine 10 minutes ago.
    I've tried all the troubleshootings, from checking the HDMI cable to switching it around. I've also restarted the ATV. Streaming works fine everywhere else, I'm just getting this HDCP problem through Netflix all of a sudden.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated... thanks!

    High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection(HDCP; commonly, though incorrectly, referred to as High-Definition Copy(right) Protection) is a form of digital copy protectiondeveloped by Intel Corporation to prevent copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across connections. Types of connections include DisplayPort (DP),Digital Visual Interface (DVI), and High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), as well as less popular, or now defunct, protocols like Gigabit Video Interface(GVIF) and Unified Display Interface(UDI).
    Meaning, someone doesn't want you to be able to play the movie on the screen because of copyright reasons.
    Sorry. (I know, DRM sukcs!!)

  • Problems with Custom Paper Size and Address Book

    I'm having some trouble printing from Address Book onto a custom paper size. I'm attempting to set up a notecard, and only print one at a time, rather than multiple columns as in the Labels option. The trouble is that when creating this small size, Address Book doesn't recognize it as anything other than a regular sheet of US Letter, and thus prints the address in the middle of the page.
    I have no problem printing envelopes, though, which seems odd because they too go in the manual feed for my printer. The notecards are similar width to the envelopes, but only about half the length.
    Has anyone else experienced problems with custom paper sizes printing improperly? I'm using an HP 4515 LaserJet, but have access to a few other laser printers. Thanks for any insight

    I have had the same problem, and with the same result; Adobe Tech Support can't help or fix, after 15 hours on phone, Level 2 support. It is a software bug Adobe has, and can't seem to fix.  I just upgraded to Lightroom CC, and my problem migrated with the upgrade.  I print in Photoshop fine.
    If you found an answer, I would appreciate  knowing how to do it!
    Thanks

  • Problems with custom buttons

    I have problems with custom buttons in Captivate 5. The button is not switching from the _up stage to _over stage, but when I click on it the _down stage works fine. It is not a problem with the naming of the buttons. They are all with the same name and in lower case. I have tried with various custom buttons and the problem is the same. There is no problems with the standard buttons from the Adobe Gallery, so it is a bit strange, also strange that it is only the _over stage that causes problems.
    The buttons I have made in Adobe Illustrator. Have tried both exporting in png and bmp format. It is the same problem.
    Hope someone has some idea as to what can be wrong.

    Hi Manish,
    I have uploaded the zip file with the button files to Acrobat and mailed you the link.
    Look forward to hear if you find a reason or more importantly a solution :-)
    Kind regards
    Rene

  • Problems with Customer Service AND unexplained charges!

    I've been with Verizon for I-don't-know-how-many years, and through the years you are bound to have a few problems here and there but some of the problems are just ridiculous! It's also the same reocurring problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was with Alltel first, before it was bought out by Verizon. The years I was with Alltel, I didn't have near as many problems. It seems EVERY time I do the smallest change or something to my phone or bill, I get a ridiculous amount of charges that I was NOT aware of, nor told about... EVEN IF I ask "So this isn't going to change my bill, or there will not be any unexpected/unexplained charges that I don't know about?"... BUT not matter how many times I ask... and NO matter how many times I am told "no"... there always is. For example.... last year, I updated and signed a new 2 year contract and purchased the first Driod. Before, my 30 day warranty was up, I was having problems with my Driod, and decided to send it in and get a new one. Before I did this.. I called customer service to make sure there would be no interuption in my bill, and there wouldn't be any unexpect charges, and there would be no difference in anything. I was told there was not, and once I recieved my new phone, just send it in and nothing would be changed. Of course, when I get my bill.. I see I was charged $500 for the new phone. It was explained to me that my credit card was reimbursed (which I never check that card, because I never used it expect to purchase the phone) and that I was recharged for the new phone, since it was a new phone. So I had to fork out the $500 (on top of my bill) and then wait months to get the $100 rebate card. Months after that, I "assumed liablity of my line" because I was on a plan with my family. I decided to have my own line, so I "assumed liability." I was not told that when I did that, I "renewed" my contract date. So I just added 6 more months to my 2 year contract. Was NOT told about that! Then again...... I was recently having problems with my Driod (the screen went black and would not come back on.) I had to turn on an OLD motorola razor, so I would not be without a phone for two days while I was waiting on my phone to come in. As soon as my phone came in, I had my Droid turned back on. I recieved my bill recently, and my bill was $200 over what it normally should be.... so I called in... apparently, when I had my phone replaced, they dropped off my data package and when I recieved my replacement driod, they never put it back on. So I was being charged for alllll my data usage... again I was NOT told about this. I wasn't even aware that they had dropped off my data package, and when/where did they get the authority to do that??? These are just a FEW of the problems that I have had.................................
    Does anyone have these reoccuring problems!?

    I understand that my bill can be viewed online, and I do view it fairly regularly, so if there are any unexplained charges, I can call Verizon asap. The problem does not come from me not understanding my bill, but from customer service. I have been with Verizon for a very long time, and it is a continuing problem. Where did Verizon get the 'OK' to drop my data package off my plan? Who authorized that?
    After calling Verizon and trying to find out the problem, the gentleman told me that when I activated on old phone while I was waiting on my new Droid to arrive, my data package was dropped off and I "should" have been told about that. When I reactiviated my new Droid, I "should" have called and had them restart my data package. I was not aware that when you activate an old phone that data plan is taken off your plan. In all my years of having cell phones, I never make two years with one phone. I have always, at one point, had to turn on an old phone, and my data package has NEVER changed. Why would I have my data package dropped and why would I have to call Verizon to have it restarted. I would never know to do that unless I was TOLD that my data packaged HAD to be re-added when I recieved my new phone, but I was never told of that.
    All of that is beside the point, the point is, Verizon was never given the authorization to change my plan. Never. My bill was taken care of and readjusted, and I am thankful for that. It does not change the fact it is always a hassle with Verizon Customer Service and I am always the one having to PROVE that I am not at fault, or that I was NEVER told of certian things. EVERY TIME I HAVE CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE, I AM TOLD "I'M SORRY, THEY SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT."
    "they should" does not help my bill with the extra armount of charges.

  • Problem with custom validated data types using domain on 11g

    Hi,
    I ' m on a migration process from 10 to 11 and I notice that a custom domain didn't work correctly anymore
    to be more specific every time that I was submiting a page a was getting an error cannot convert from myclass to oracle.jbo.domain.String
    I search the forum and I saw a similar problem
    Cannot convert type class java.lang.String to class oracle.jbo.domain.Clob
    at which Frank says that it is a known bug and suggests a work around.
    I use the workaround and it worked but some more issues came up:
    1. If the validation fails I get the error that I throw at the validate method not in a popup with just my message
    but in the whole window with the whole error stack, meaning that my custom validation is not handled like native ADF validation errors by
    the framework (at 10.1.3.4 worked OK)
    2 If i dont give a value at the attribute in the validation phase mdata variable is not null but is length is zero (at 10.1.3.4 its value was null)
    public class AFM implements DomainInterface, Serializable {
    public AFM(String val) {
    mData = new String(val);
    validate();
    private String mData;
    protected void validate() {
    // ### Implement custom domain validation logic here. ###
    mData==null // returns false
    mData.length()==0 // returns true
    3. Can i force validation only for new or updated values? I saw that the validation process is taking place every time a row is fetched.
    This is not only a performance issue, the bigger problem is that if a fetched from the DB value fails the validation an error is return but the
    user cannot change the value to correct it.
    TIA
    Tilemahos

    since i don't get any answer I wonder if i should have use a more provocative title like
    "custom domains in 11g don't work"
    is it true?

  • Problem with custom control and focus

    I've a problem with the focus in a custom control that contains a TextField and some custom nodes.
    If i create a form with some of these custom controls i'm not able to navigate through these fields by using the TAB key.
    I've implemented a KeyEvent listener on the custom control and was able to grab the focus and forward it to the embedded TextField by calling requestFocus() on the TextField but the problem is that the TextField won't get rid of the focus anymore. Means if i press TAB the first embedded TextField will get the focus, after pressing TAB again the embedded TextField in the next custom control will get the focus AND the former focused TextField still got the focus!?
    So i'm not able to remove the focus from an embeded TextField.
    Any idea how to do this ?

    Here you go, it contains the control, skin and behavior of the custom control, the css file and a test file that shows the problem...
    control:
