HT1338 my tv shows and movies won't play on my MacBook Pro display due to HDCP

As of today, I cannot play my movies or televison shows on my MacBook Pro. They have always played before and my software is up to date. The dialogue box shows "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)."

Hi, bgrieb.  
Thank you for visitng Apple Support Communities.  
This sounds like these shows are in a HD format and are not supported on the iPhone 3gs.  I would recommend downloading the SD version of these shows and then sync these to your device.  
iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device

    Thank you everyone for your suggestions and help.  Ended up logging out of my apple ID account.  Of note, when I did I did a quick test and checked out both the movies and tv show options, and it all worked perfectly.  I then logged back in, and now all my purchased and rentals are available which makes sense.  I guess with the update there was some weird bit of trons that required one to log out then back in.  Probably doing a rest in between may not hurt for some.  Thanks again for all the assistance. Cheers.
    It looks like there is a Apple doc for this problem here -> Apple TV: Unable to access Movies, TV Shows, or other iTunes features after updating

  • Hi! I got movies on my external hard drive that are AVI kind and won't play on my macbook pro? need some help please!!

    Hi! I got Movies on my external hard drive that are AVI kind and won't play on my macbook pro? When I start playing the movie a message pops up and says "a required codec is not available". I tried flip4mac, xvid, divx already and still not playing my video. need some help please!! thanks.

    Although vlc mentioned above is a much more powerful and better player you could try installing Perian if you insist on using the quicktime player.  It may supply the codec it needs.
    Not sure why you wouldn't be able to play straight avi files though in quicktime.

  • HT1657 I rented a movie from Itunes and it won't play on my macbook

    I rented a movie and it won't play...it shows that time has elapsed on the movie but it is just a blank white screen.

    If you've downloaded it on the iPad then it should be in the Videos app. If it's not in there then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

  • My videos and tv shows won't play on my Macbook Pro

    None of my videos or tv shows will play on my Macbook Pro.  They used to work but somewhere within the last month they stopped working.  When i play either one all i get is a still screen shot that is fuzzy, and the audio keeps playing but the screen stays frozen.

    many thanks.
    Let's try the following user tip with that one:

  • Since updating to 7, videos and movies won't play

    I just uploaded the latest version of iTunes. Since doing so yesterday, the videos and movies I had in my Library won't play. I get the sound, but all I get for a picture is colors. Anyone know how to debug? How do I get to view my videos again?
    Thanks

    First thing to check would be system requirements,
    Right click on My Computer click on Properties,
    Near the bottom it will say what processor and Ram are.
    For all video to play properly iTunes / Quicktime requires 2.0+ GHz Pentium Class processor and 512MB Ram and 32MB Video Ram.
    If you do meet the system requirements, You may want to try uninstalling / reinstalling Quicktime.
    Start...Control Panel...Add Remove Programs
    Remove Quicktime
    Open My Computer
    Browse to c:\Program Files\ and delete the Quicktime folder.
    Go to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html and make sure that QuickTime 7.1.3 for Windows 2000/XP is selected.
    Download and install, After install, restart and test.
    Hope that works.

  • Photoshop and illustrator won't work in my macbook pro

    i tried installing photoshop and illustrator and can't seem to open the applications. i keep getting messages to reinstall the applications. is anyone else having these problems or is it just me? i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. i was told that rosetta would help run these programs and they won't run.

    I am using a MacPro, for 3 weeks now. I use CS1. When setting up the new computer it asked me if I wanted to copy data from another Mac. It was quick--did about 50 GB of data in under 2 hours--and I was able to instantly continue with my normal routine. It was WONDERFUL!
    I've been using Illustrator a good bit since then and less so Photoshop. I've been having lots of crashes with Illustrator. It doesn't seem to play too well with Rosetta. But I know crashes are not uncommon for Illustrator on other operating systems and hardware. I was previously running CS1 on a G4 with 10.4.4 and had few problems with the programs. I've been reminded of the importance of frequent saving. I lost a file last week that was damaged beyond repair after the program crashed while the file was being saved.
    Among applications that are legacy that I transferred to the new machine, Illustrator 10 and Photoshop 6 can both be opened on the machine, but I haven't done any test runs to see what happens. Illustrator kept trying to reopen files (using Open Recent File) with AI 10 instead of AI CS1, which was really strange, so I'm not using that feature. Much Classic/Carbon software I own will not run at all on the MacPro (QuarkXpress 5, Flash 5 included).
    I think that Illustrator CS1 on the MacPro is more fitful. I use it with Panther on a G5 at work and it's relatively stable. I also did a software update yesterday that included a firmware update for the MacPro. I noticed things were much more stable on the machine last night, but it's too early to say that it partially or completely solved these operability problems.
    I think we're just all on riding the new wave. There's bound to be some problems. Same thing happened when we all moved from OS 9 to OS 10, and with every interim upgrade some issues arise.

  • IMovie and iPhoto won't update on Used Macbook Pro Retina

    I purchased a used macbook pro retina and did the usually initial setup for the laptop. My issue is that these two stock apps won't update in the app store. I recieve a message asking me to login using the ID that was used to purchase the app. I am assuming this is the ID of the previous owner , which of course I do not have. Any Ideas ???

    The MBP needs to be disassociated from the original owners Apple ID. The original owner needs to call Apple Care to request that. Or if you have a sales receipt that proves you legally have purchased the MBP they may do it for you.
    Then the MBP needs to be wiped clean and the most recent version of OS X that shipped with the Mac installed using OS X Recovery. You can also reinstall the iLife apps, which you should accept into your Apple ID in the Mac App Store on the Purchaes pane.

  • IPhoto and iMovie won't update on my MacBook Pro OS 10.8.3

    I have a MacBook Pro, s/n W8******AGZ, running OS 10.8.3. Ever since the last update of 10.8.2 I've been having problems updating my iPhoto software. Now, just recently, iMovie won't update either.
    What is an Apple community guy supposed to do now??? Please anyone with easy to do answers?
    <Edited by Host>

    I was trying to update iphoto 9.4.3, through the app store. then this message comes up
    you have updates available for other accounts
    to update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.
    i'm the only one on my mac. i only have 1 itunes account so it has nothing to do with any UserID issue. i tried reindexing spotlight. This has been an issue for about a month now.  Then i deleted iPhoto app and securely emptied the trash. All my software was in my macbook pro when it was shipped to me Feb. 2011. These are the two software, in question. iMovie is giving me the same message now.
    apple software - iWork    065-7672    no iWork preinstalled
    apple software - final cut exp    065-7674    no final cut express (from my Apple receipt)
    I hope I gave you all the answers you need to help me, Thank you, TD

  • My iPad and iPhone won't connect to my macbook pro

    I have just got a new macbook pro and iPad and when I go to connect my iphone and ipad to the macbook it says that they do not have the most up to date itunes. I have updated both and I have checked the software and they both have 10.5.1 but it still won't connect.... can anyone help!!

    all devices have the correct, up to date software. When I connect my iPhone or iPad into MBP, it says… The iPhone “Ellen Heathwood’s iPhone” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.5 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes.

  • My third party keyboard and mouse won't connect to my MacBook Pro

    I recently purchased an Insignia keyboard and mouse combo. I'm trying to connect them to my MacBook Pro and they refuse to respond. On the box and online it said that this combo was Mac compatible. I am running OSX 10.9.4.

    Sorry i should have mentioned that; i already have installed the drivers. I have the little boot camp console thingy and the display became to the right resolution after installing the drivers, so i know i have. Its something else, Windows based i think.

  • Music won't play on my macbook pro

    I was listening to music on my Itunes player, when suddently it stopped.. I opened the player but the music was still playing, ther just didn't come any sound, I tried to plug in my earpods .. but no sound there eighter... then I tried Youtube, to check if there only was a problem with the Itunes player... but there still didn't come any sound
    I can't figure out what it is ...

    Is there a red light on inside your headphone port? If so, your optical port might be stuck on. I had this problem with my MacBook Pro too. It worked sometimes on and off. If you try to pull the headphones out of the port quickly you might be able to disengage the contact. I had to take mine in to get the problem resolved. It was under warranty though so Apple covered it in full. 

  • TV Shows and .mov won't sinc to ipod touch

    Some TV shows I bought (from itunes store) for ipod video won't sinc with ipod touch 32g. Also, some .mov files (I made) won't transfer to touch. I've tried every logical thing I can think of to make this work but to no avail. Does Apple have a fix for this?
    Thanks

    I'm not trying to sound bad, but did you make sure you have the option checked in iTunes to sync movies/videos? I had this same "problem" and freaked out for a good hour before I noticed the default in itunes is set to NOT sync anything but music. Double check that you have the box checked to sync videos and that the files are in itunes.
