How can I play an HD movie purchased from Itunes on my TV using HDMI connection?

I would like to know how i can play movies purchased in Itunes on my TV using the HDMI cable? When I try playing HD movies from Itunes I can't play them. I get the following error:
"To play in HD, you must have a computer with a built in display or have it connected to a display that supports HDCP".
I used to be able to play them before but not anymore. Not sure why. Maybe it's due to the new update. Is there a fix?
Thanks,

Ok, best to contact itunes then so they can look into it

HT1473 How can I transfer my music (not purchased from Itunes) from my Ipad/Iphone to my new Itunes library on a Macbook Pro?

I've recently bought a new Macbook Pro and in my Itunes Library everything I have purchased from Itunes is in my new Itunes Library.
However I want to transfer all my music (not purchased from itunes) from my Ipad/Iphone to my new Itunes Library.... and I have absoutely no idea how to do this? Also I'm scared to press sync when my ipad is plugged into my Mac incase will loose all this music!
Help Please!

The iphone/ipad/ipod is not a backup/storage device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone/ipad/ipod.
Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.

Why can't I play an old movie purchased from iTunes and later uploaded to iTunes from an external hard drive on my Apple TV?

I bought Ratatouille some years ago from iTunes downloaded onto a 1st gen Apple TV, and subsequently to an old MacBook. I had backed that MacBook up to an external HD. A couple computers from that time and now I have a new gen ATV. I noticed that all my old movies showed up to stream on the new ATV's system except Ratatouille. So today I decided to upload the movie onto my new MBP's iTunes. But the movie won't show up on ATV. Again, this is an iTunes-purchased movie so it has nothing to do with format. I can play the movie through "home sharing" but I shouldn't have to leave my MBP open to play the movie - it should be available on my "purchased" selection that can be played at any time. Any suggestions how to resolve this issue? Thanks in advance for your help.

Can't play HD movies purchased from iTunes on Windows 7 without Internet connection

Purchased (not rented) Wreck-It-Ralph from iTunes and downloaded it to my local drive. I confirmed that the file is, in fact, in a local directory. However, when I pull up the move's details iTunes it states that the file is in iCloud. (Library > Movies > R-click movie icon > Get info > Summary tab > "Where iCloud".) Every time I try to play the movie, either by playing it from iTunes or by going to the file itself and opening it via iTunes, it won't play unless I'm connected to the Internet. And even then, there's still a long pause before playback actually begins. It almost looks like it's trying to buffer it.
If the movie file is taking up 3gigs of space on my computer (that's authorized to play content from iTunes), I expect to be able to take this video on the road.

You need to authorize your computer to play your
husband's songs, by putting in his iTunes account
info on your computer, (Not your computer's
password.) meaning his login and password of his
iTunes account.

He used my account to purchase the song.
If you did enter his iTunes account information and
the song still not playing it could because the
iTunes store is down for upgrading,

That may be the problem - thanks!

How can I modify a song I purchased from Itunes?

I'm trying to alter a song I purchased from the Itunes store. Is there a way to shorten or cut out parts of a song? What software would I need to do this? I've downloaded Jasmine and Audacity, but can't seem to get it to work.
Dick Skover

Thanks Michael,
I did what you suggested and everything worked well. I was able to shorten the song in Jasmine, but once saved, I wasn't able to bring it into my slideshow in Imovie. I believe it was saved as an AIFF file after I shortened it. Any ideas as to why I can't import or open it?

HT201272 How can I recover music I've purchased from iTunes store when my iTunes cannot find the file

I cannot re-download music I purchased from the iTunes store. I followed the instructions from iTunes support but that did not work.
When I find the music in the iTunes store under purchases, it states "downloaded" and will not let me re-download it.
What other tricks are there to use. I do not have the music on an iPod or CD because I always thought that once you bought it on iTunes, you could always re-download it if you got a new computor, etc.

If they appear under the Purhcased link as 'downloaded' then do you still have them listed in your iTunes library (where you would click on them to play them) ? If youdo then iTunes assumes that you still have them somewhere, and that there is no need to re-download them - try deleting one of them from your library and it should then get the cloud symbol for re-downloading.

I purchased an audiobook from itunes and i see it in my library but cannot get it onto my ipod nor am i able to listen to it on the computer...any suggestions? obviously i'm a new ipod user lol

What happens when you try to play it in your iTunes library? Does it appear under the audibooks section?
Is your iPod configured to sync audiobooks from under its Audiobooks configuration tab? To find this tab, plug your iPod in and click on it under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This should bring you to the Summary tab. From there, look for the Audibooks tab and make the appropriate configurations to get it over to your iPod.

Follow these steps to delete the photos on your iPhone that were synced over from your computer (be sure to just check albums that you want to sync or don't do not check any albums if you don't want any photos synced over):
To delete synced photos and videos
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.

Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.

When I switched computers my songs now cut off and don't play out. How can I get my songs back to play fully that I purchased from ITunes over the past years?

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over the last few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting those tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

Yes, if the movie has been downloaded to the iPad, then you can watch it without Wi-Fi.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can send movies to the Apple TV using Airplay in many cases. Not sure what you mean by free movie, so I can't tell you whether it's likely to be compatible or not, please tell us more.

You can only download content(other than podcast episodes) from a country's iTunes Store if you're in that country. For paid content, you also need to supply a payment method valid in that country.
