How come my Windows computer isn't letting me play a movie off iTunes? Do I need to buy a HDCP cable?

Can anyone help?

There is no such thing as an HDCP cable.  The monitor or video card in the computer may not support HDCP.
Windows system requirements for HD 720p content
32 or 64-bit version of Windows 7 or Windows 8; Windows XP and Vista don't support HDCP
iTunes 10 or later
2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster processor
At least 1 GB of RAM
A video driver that supports HDCP (you may need to check with the manufacturer to determine if your video driver supports HDCP)
A display that supports HDCP with a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 or higher with a digital connection (DVI, DisplayPort, or HDMI)
If your computer doesn't meet all of the above requirements, you will be unable to purchase, rent, or view HD content from the iTunes Store.

    Hello everyone, Very recently itunes on my windows computer does not let me access any items in my Library except for "Apps" and "Ringtones". When I click on any other items it flashes the redcircle meaning forbidden".
    When I connect my iPhone or iPad I can see every items on them but not on the iTunes Library.
    They sync fine with iTunes.
    I browse all the menus in iTunes but cannot find any clues to what I have done for it to happen. It worked fine previously.
    Thanks for any suggestion.

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • How to play music that my computer isn't authorized to play?

    A couple years back, I had an account (using my dad's credit card/email) on the Itunes store on which I bought a couple songs. I now want to listen to those songs, but iTunes is telling me that my computer isn't authorized to play it. I don't remember the password and my dad has deleted that email account since that time so I can't authorize it...anything I can do?

    Download VLC player http://vlc-media-player.en.softonic.com/mac...
    or if youre lucky enough to have a program such as compressor, wondershare, or anything that converts files. convert it from apples itunes m4a to MP3 or anything else. that way you can use it on your itunes or anyone else's without having to authorize.

  • How comes the Ipad mini isn't Retina Display if it has the same resolution as the New iPad?

    How comes the Ipad mini isn't Retina Display if it has the same resolution as the New iPad?

    The iPad mini doesn't have the same resolution as the "new iPad".
    iPad 3 & 4 (retina) = 2048x1536 pixels
    iPad 1 & 2 (original) = 1024x768
    iPad mini = 1024x768
    Apple likely didn't put a retina screen in the iPad mini to keep cost down and to have an option to upgrade the iPad mini to a retina screen down the road, in a year or two.  It could be however that the pixel density of 2048x768 at 9" poses a problem for the viewer, in that text and features might be rendered too small or too thin for the average buyer/consumer.

  • I downloaded an album but some of the songs won't play - says my computer isn't authorized to play the song. I checked the authorization, and this computer is authorized. How do I fix this?

    I downloaded an album but some of the songs won't play - says my computer isn't authorized to play the song. I checked the authorization, and this computer is authorized. How do I fix this?

    If just some of the tracks on the album are doing that, that suggests those tracks are damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • My iPod touch 5th gen isn't letting me play most of my music

    My iPod touch 5th gen isn't letting me play most of my music. If I try to play a song it will just skip it and then if I go back to try again it will be greyed out. I can play all my music on iTunes on my computer but only about 10% on my iPod, and the 90% I can't play includes many songs and albums I've bought directly from iTunes. I've tried re-syncing the missing music from my computer but it won't let me, I can't even delete the remaining music. Please help. Thankyou.

    The grayed-out sone indicated that the songe files are corrupted.
    Try:
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             

  • ITunes says my computer isn't authorized to play one song, but all the rest of them work. The song works on my iPad so why won't it work on my computer or my iPod?

    iTunes says my computer isn't authorized to play one of the songs I just downloaded, but all the rest of them work. That song works on my iPad so why won't it work on my computer or my iPod? It says my computer isn't authorized to play that song so I type in my password and it pops up with a menu saying my computer is already authorized and it skips to the next song. No matter what I do it won't play that song on my laptop or my iPod.

    Could be a Corrupt download of that song...
    If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...
    Delete the Song(s) and re-download...

  • I have 10.3.1, how come the CD's I burn won't play in my vehicle?

    I have itunes 10.3.1, how come the CD's I burn won't play in my vehicle?

    I have been having issues with edited tracks from Toast/CD Spin Doctor that I send to my iTunes library, so that I might burn them onto a CD at a later date.
    For example, when I try to hear my 3:42 edited track of a tune I had just sent over from Spin Doctor to iTunes, instead of hearing 3:42 of the "edited track", I only hear the first 3:42 of the raw "unedited" track.  In other words, if my raw Spin Doctor file had 20 seconds of silence before the track started, I would hear that first 20 seconds in my iTunes file instead of the edited file.
    Personally, I think Apple needs to allow us Mac users to have a "download previous version" option when serious bugs like this appear on the updates.  Seems they give Windows users links to older versions, but for us Mac users, they make it hard for us to easily find older versions.  I feel like I'm being held hostage waiting for the next version, or patch.
    And when I try to report the issue to Apple, when I go to the "What version of iTunes are you using?", they still don't have version 10.3 listed in their pulldown menus (as of 7/7/11).
    If you want me to plunk down money for Lion, then you better get my iTunes back to where I could use it again.
    Sorry for the rant, I've been in a major vinyl transfer-to-CD groove in the last month, and this just ruins my momentum. Apple has really disappointed me.

  • TS1389 My iTunes isn't letting me play certain songs.

    My iTunes isn't letting me play certain songs, saying that the computer is not authorized to do so.  I've done everything Apple recommends. I've gotten rid of the SC folder twice.  I deauthorized then reauthorized it, etc. I am the administrator so signing in as administrator doesn't help.  I don't know what to do. Help please.

    Doublechecking. In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you also worked through the instructions from the following document?

  • My computer will not let me click the box in iTunes where it says "sync only checked music and videos." So i cant unsync songs that i don't want on my iPod but still want in my iTunes. HELP?!

    These are your options:
    1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
              Advantages: Always works, if library damage is causing the problem and the backup is intact.
              Disadvantages: Impossible if you don't have a backup. All changes made since the backup are lost.
    2. Repair or rebuild the library. Be sure to back it up first.
              Advantages: May solve the problem with no loss of data.
              Disadvantages: May fail. May take a long time if the library is large.
    3. Scavenge the library with a third-party application called "iPhoto Library Manager," which you can find in a web search. From the application's menu bar (not the iPhoto menu bar), select Library ▹ Rebuild.
              Advantages: All images should be preserved.
              Disadvantages: All books, calendars, and slideshows will be lost.

  • Photos 10.10.3 will not let me play or move my videos and keeps sending a message saying "can not find file". What do I do to get the videos back?

    Photos 10.10.3 will not let me play or move my videos and keeps sending a message saying "can not find file". What do I do to get the videos back? It is only during videos that I previously uploaded off my phone. It loads them and tells me how long they are but when I go to press play it says can not find file. I have restarted my computer, what else can I do?

    Check the information on the song, Right-Click -> Get Info.
    In the fist pane, (Summary), you will see the AppleId (Account Name) that was used to buy the song.
    Be sure to login to use this account to register this computer to play the song
    What I often see, Is that people have many different AppleID, sometime not even knowing it, which is a big problem.

    All of the media on your 3G should also be in the iTunes library on your computer.
    Simply sync it to your iPhone4.
