How do I play HD movie from IMAC to projector

I have connected my IMac 27" mid-2011 to my LG projector through my Sony STRD-H820 amp to play HD movies I have downloaded onto Itunes. I get the message that the display does not comply with HDCP. If I had known I would not have bothered the expense of downloading as it is OK watching the movie on my Imac but much better on the big screen. Is there a way around this?

If you only recently purchased the AV adapter for iPad, ring the store that you purchased it from and see whether they will allow you to return the adapter for a credit. Then ask if they will apply that credit towards the purchase of an Apple TV. In the US, the Apple TV retails for $99, and the AV adapter for $39 - yes I apologise you will have to pay another $60 - however my recommendation is that the extra cash will more than satisfy your requirements.
FYI... An Apple TV is a tiny black box that works like an iPod for your TV, and allows you to stream content (music, movies, TV shows, photos) using AirPlay from your iMac directly onto your TV. Not only that, but you will be able to AirPlay a lot of content from your iPad directly to your TV, and depending on the age of your iMac, you will also be able to mirror your iMac screen directly onto the TV, again using AirPlay.
If you do not want to pay for an Apple TV, then the problem you have with your cable may be related to licensing for your brand of TV.
Please advise the brand and model number?

How do I play a movie from my phone to tv, How do I play a movie from my phone to tv, How do I play a movie from my phone to tv

I am looking for a solution to project my home movie from my iphone to a tv. I have an apple tv, however I understand I must always have internet to do this. If I am at someone else's home I would like to play my video's using my iphone.

A solution to your problem is to get a an AV cable/adapter for your iPhone. AV cables/Adapter come in three types:
1. Digital AV HDMI Adapter. The highest quality video, but if you have an iPhone 3GS as your tags indicate this adapter won't work with your iPhone.
2. iPhone Component Cable. Will work with iPhone 3GS. Some older TVs don't have these ports.
3. iPhone Composite Cable. Lowest video quality. Will work with iPhone 3GS. Best bet for older TVs.

Playing itunes movies from macbook to Projector over HDMI

Hi,
I'd like to play moves that are in my itunes library over an HDMI connection to a projector. I think that I will need to buy a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter.
Is there anything else that I need to know about settings for this?.. do I have to allocated my thunderbolt port as HDMI or anything?
Any display setting that I should know about such as resolution etc?
I was thinking about getting this projector: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A9S3OOC/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=& seller=

it's dvd's DRM encryption kicking in
it's by design if you use remote desktop from another computer to the computer
the same thing would happen
people say that the free player vlc don't have the issue
if that is the case then vlc are breaking the law as stripping a dvd's movie stream of encryption is not really legal

How do I get my just made movie from iMac to iTunes?

How do I get my just made movie from iMac to iTunes?

Hello MWWWB,
Unlike iPhoto, Photoshop is only an editor. It does not store or organize images. In iPhoto preferences, you can choose Photoshop as an editor. You will then get a choice when you double click on an iPhoto thumbnail to use iPhoto or Photoshop to make edits. But Photoshop does not have a library to store images like iPhoto.
You may want to use Adobe Bridge or Lightroom to help name and organize your pictures. You can Export your iPhoto Library to a folder and manage the exported images there.
Personally, I hate the arcane manner iPhoto stores and organizes images. I use it only for photos from my iPhone.

Unable to play some movie from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up which says "cannot play movie. Please try again". Can anyone assist me? I just upgraded to iOS 7.1. Netflix not able to find problem.

Unable to play some movies from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up "Cannot play movie. Please try again later." I contacted Netflix but have not been able the help so I am wondering if it's my iPad. I didn't have a problem before but I have recently upgraded to iOS 7.1. Also is a certain amount of storage needed to play a movie? About how much is that?

Hello all,
I have an iPad 2 16GB with iOS 7.0.3 and Netflix version 5.0.2. I cannot watch netflix on an External LCD monitor that I have through VGA out. I use bluetooth speakers, so the AirPlay is going to that for Audio. Before this update, this combo worked without an issue.
So as of Friday Nov. 8/2013, I contacted Netflix support, and they said they fixed the problem on their end, and the fix is on the Apple side of things, and to contact Apple support.
So, I contacted Apple support, and the first person I spoke to said I would have to agree to pay a $35 fee for 30 days of support to this problem since my unit is out of warranty. I said this isn't a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and I'm not willing to pay to fix a problem you created. So I got a Senior Level advisor on the line, and she was helpful, and she's looking into the issue for me and said she'll contact me sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov. 12 or 13) to let me know of the issue.
Here's the thing: this is a combination of Netflix and iOS not working correctly with any of the Apple Authorized Dongles. This is truly a code error that some hot shot programmer had major oversight on, and their management didn't catch it either. There was no reason for Netflix to rush to get this Netflix update going until Apple sorted out the bugs in iOS 7.
Anyway, if I hear anything from Donna (the advisor), I'll post it and let you guys know. In the mean time, good luck!

I want to play a movie from my ipad on my tv, all hooked up and i get an error message that the tv isn't authorized to play it.

I Want to play a movie from my ipad, on a tv but get a tv not authorized message, how do you authorize a tv?

I was not complete clear.
Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section. If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

The extension is usually .mov, .m4v, or .mp4. But you can't just change the extension. The movies have to be encoded in a particular fomat. Anything downloaded from iTunes or plays in Quicktime player will be fine.

How do I deleted a movie from an iDVD project

I created an iDVD project using a movie, and have decided to go back into iMovie and make changes to the movie I am using for this project. Since I have put so much time into putting photos and music in submenus, I want to use the same project I created, just replace the old movie with the new. I cannot figure out how to delete the old movie from the project. I have shared the new one thru Media Browser, and it is ready to be added, but I first need to delete the prior version from the iDVD project.
Anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

READ THE ENTIRE MESSAGE BEFORE DELETING ANYTHING !!!
To delete a movie from iDVD: Open iDVD. Click once on the movie title to highlight it. Hit Delete. It should disappear in a poof of smoke.
If you have chapters in your movie, you need to delete the Scene Selection text button also.
But, when you reopen iDVD after changing your movie, before doing anything in iDVD, iDVD should give you a message that your 'assets have changed' and ask if you want iDVD to update. Click on yes/ok, but check your iDVD project before burning. The way it is supposed to work is that iDVD recognizes that you have made changes to your iMovie, uses the revised iMovie in its files instead of the first one, and uses the updated iMovie when you burn to disk or create a disk image. It is a nice feature so that you do not have to delete the iMovie already in iDVD and have to put in your updated newer version; iDVD is supposed to add the update itself, using the newer version of iMovie. It worked that way in iDVD 6.
However, if you have an iMovie with chapters, what happens with iDVD 8/9, as opposed to iDVD 6, is that iDVD does indeed recognize the changes and sends the 'do you want to update' message, but if you tell iDVD to go ahead and update, the chapters will no longer select correctly. They all will default to the same chapter no matter which one is selected.
I can't tell you whether or not iDVD will correctly play the updated movie if you don't have chapters. You will just have to try it.
If you do have chapters and/or incorporating the changes in iMovie does not work, the only 'fix' is to recreate the iDVD project. It takes time but is not difficult since you have done it once. Open a new iDVD project and put the updated iMovie into it. Do a "Save as Disk Image" to create a disk image file of your iDVD project. Play the disk image file with DVD Player. If it plays correctly, burn your disks from the disk image file using Disk Utility or Toast. You can delete the old iDVD project.
Good luck with it!

How can i transfer rental movies from my Ipad to my iTunes library before updating

how can i transfer rental movies from my Ipad to my iTunes library before updating ?

According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie or TV show on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.
So I assume that you cannot use File > Transfer Purchases to copy them to your computer (though there is no harm in trying)

How can I play .avi movies on my mac?

How can I play .avi movies on my mac?With difficulty.
Quicktime pro doesn't do it.Generally speaking, no -- not without third-party components.
If there's some kind of patch or something, please give me the url/link!Try Perian (free). It contains a collection of popular PC codecs which may or may not support the specific files you want. If not, you have to determine what particular codec is required, find out if it is available, and then download/install it. (Not all AVI audio/video file formats have been ported for Mac use.) Even then, if it is a proprietary codec and you want to be able to convert to/from that format, you may have to purchase/register the component.
