High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) Errors in iTunes and Display Link Drivers

Since August 2014 after an upgrade to iTunes, my 2010 white unibody macbook has been unable to run ANY videos bought from the iTunes store citing HDCP issues with my INTERNAL screen. I tried external screens, TVs, resetting PRAM, ... etc to no avail. I found a mention of Displaylink drivers as a possible issue.
I use Display Link drivers to run my ASUS MB168B+ external USB screen (which I love). I uninstalled the drivers and voila! the videos work again. Sadly, my screen won't run any more...
I am posting this in hope that the iTunes team and the Display Link team partner up to fix this issue which seems to be affecting a number of Mac users around the world.

The problem is probably your internet connection not the Apple TV.
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net. If you do this using a computer connected by ethernet, you should get a fairly good indication of your incoming speed from the ISP. If you are using a device connected by wifi you will need to take account of the portion of your internal network being used and the effect it might have on the result you are seeing. Another option is to access your modem (see your manual to determine how to do this) through your web browser or specialist software supplied by your ISP, the software on the modem itself will often tell you your connection speeds somewhere.
1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

Why would my late 2012 MacBook Air suddenly tell me "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)" every time I try to play a film, or TV file?

8GB late 2012 MacBook Air 512GB SSD with iTunes for Mac 12.1.0.50. Yosomite 10.10.2
This happens on movies and TV titles that have happily run before.

It is everything.
Downloading again doesn't seem to work. I deleted all my films and then just re-downloaded Pixar's 5 minute short film Boundin', but the error message popped up as soon as I pressed play.
The only thing I can think of is that last couple of times I ran Disk Utility a new error appeared that I haven't seen before. I have added a link to a screenshot of the Disk Utility report and it refers to "displaypolicyd should be should be 0, group is 244". It says it has been fixed, but the error still persists each time. This may be a red herring, but I can't help thinking that it is something to do with the problem.

HT3209 High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection

what the "F" am I supposed to do with all of my HD movies that I have purchased? Thanks a pantload.

How are you connecting to the TV?
Provided the TV is HDCP compliant it should work in theory if connecting by HDMI.
HDCP is not an Apple invention but something that will aply to Blu Ray players, HD satellite/cable boxes etc. to prevent unauthorised copying of HD content. The movie studios/TV stations who own the rights will insist on it, but all it does is affect the genuine customer who is sometimes unable to play the content in the way they want.

I have been getting errors in Itunes and it said to redownload it. I started to download and get a error that says "Service 'apple mobile device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services" .
What does this mean and how do I verify what they are asking me to verify???

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

Found New Hardware Error with iTunes and Motorola L7 SLVR

Hi,
I reinstalled iTunes because when I connected my phone via USB I would get an error in Found New Hardware Wizard: There was a problem installing this hardware. Motorola Motorola Phone USB Device. After reinstall, I opened iTunes and no error until it asked me to 'convert my phone for use with iTunes'. Once I said yes, it did something to the phone and then the error re-occurred. I am using the latest version of iTunes.
Shiff1

None of the steps outlined in the referenced document resolved the problem. In addition, simply connecting the iPod to the system now has the added effect of freezing my wireless connectivity. I can still get iPod connectivity to the system, but I'm offline until I reboot again (w/o the iPod connected).
When I try the second set of steps recommended in the attached note ("Disable conflicting System Services and Startup Items"), and had only the iPod selected, the system would not allow a complete boot up at all (kept sending me back to edit the System Services screen). It would then not allow me to restore the system to the selections that were previously on the computer. A mess!!
I ended up doing a complete system restore (back to a prior system configuration) and that corrected the problem. But, of course, I continue to get the error when booting up that "new hardware found".
Any other ideas?

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.

What is a -42408 error on itunes and how do i fix it?

i keep getting a -42408 error code on itunes.

Hi,
Quote:
“Set formulas represent the ability to add some advanced MDX or TI expressions to the scorecard.
The Time Set Formula option allows the entry of TI expressions that will be expanded on the scorecard.
The Custom Set Formula option allows the entry of a MDX set expression that will be used within the scorecard. The usefulness of this feature has diminished somewhat with the new dynamic hierarchy selection capabilities included in PPS 2010. However,
the Custom Set Formula feature does still have some value.”

My ipod touch wont turn on so i plugged it into itunes and a link popped up and it try to restart my ipod and when the process is running it says and error occured (28) what can i do to fix this problem ?

my ipod wont restart and it says error has just occured (28)

Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

IPod dumps content when it connects to iTunes and must be restored/resync

Second Generation iPod Nano. iTunes on Dell XPS410, Windows Vista.
Battery depleted. Plugged Nano into computer. Got a "may be corrupted screen; try restoring"♦Computer recognizes Nano; I restore and screen confirms successful restoration and tells me to sync. Sync takes place and completes successfully however my Library for the Nano device shows in "graytone" and cannot be accessed. I eject the Nano; unplug it from the computer and it works fine. Once I again plug it into the computer, everything dumps out of the Nano and I have to start the Restore/Sync process all over again. Each time the Nano is unplugged and replugged to the computer iTunes it dumps its entire content!
Would most appreciate any suggestions!

iResque determined that logic board was contaminated.

[Partially Solved] Error with bsdtar and symbolic links

I'm trying to install a package (asymptote) from AUR but am running into an odd error. During the extract phase I get errors like
asymptote-1.70/base/asy-keywords.el: Can't update time for asymptote-1.70/base/asy-keywords.el: Function not implemented
bsdtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
I found a post that may help: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=50750. Do I really have to do this?
By the way, I too am running on a Linode (Xen virtualization).
Thanks,
Luis

I have not got to the bottom of my problems with bsdtar and symlinks. I suspect it must have something to do with either my configuration (derived from the Arch image provided by Linode) or running under virtualisation.
However, others might find my work-around useful, so I document it below.
I downloaded asymptote from AUR using wget ("wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/asymptote/asymptote.tar.gz"), unpacked it, then patched the PKGBUILD

Is it possible to use a content query web part to pull and display rows/items from an Excel spreadsheet saved in a SP library?

I have an Excel spreadsheet that I want to upload to an SP library. Is it possible to display these items (in a non-excel format, more like an SP list format) in a web part?

HT1923 itunes64.msi missing error for itunes and quicktime update

I cannot get the latest update to go for the subject reason. Any clues on what I can do? I really don't want to roll back 6 months. Thanks

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Netscape.cfg error on startup and no linking from other programs...

When I start up Firefox 4.0.1, it gives an error message regarding a netscape.cfg file. If I happened to use a link embedded in an email to open Firefox, it does not appropriately link -- instead it still goes to my homepage. If Firefox is already open, it will link from another program.
I am not the only person having this problem.

Menchar,
Where did you get this application, and has it ever worked before? What version of Measurement Studio, Visual Studio, and NI-Daq was it built on ? If it has worked before, what changed, and is it possible to strip down any parts, so you can test the pieces individually rather than the program as a whole? Also are you getting NTDLL errors while doing anything else on this computer? It may be a corrupt NTDLL.dll file http://www.downloadatoz.com/howto/How-to-resolve-ntdll-dll-error.html.
You can view the OCX file path if you go to Project » Add to Project » Components and Controls and select a specific CW control under the Registered ActiveX Controls. I have attached a screenshot showing an OCX file pat.
