  • TS3771 My iTunes U no longer works since the update, an error message pops up saying that "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes." I followed the tutorial that suggests to change to from 64 to 32 bit and it didn't

    iTunes U video files no longer work on my computer since i update to Mavericks. The following message appears on the screen "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes." I followed a tutorial that suggested to go to Applications/iTunes/Get Info and change to 32 bit. Now my iTunes does not open at all, it says it requires 64 bit. I am a bit confused and disappointed. What should I do to get it fixed? Buy a new MacBook?

    Marcello, I am having the same problem.  When following the advice of many in the community to start iTunes in 32-bit mode, I get the following error after I have done so:
    I am running 10.9.2 on a mac mini. 
    I am hoping this will be fixed or at least a solid answer could be given that iTunes will no longer support certain types of media going foward.

  • This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes.

    I know many people are also having this problem and some solved the issue by running the app in 32 bit mode. Unfortunately, when I do that, iTunes warns me that I have to open the application in 64 bits.
    For those of you who don't know about the problem, here is the issue. When I try to play a lecture video in iTunes U, application prompts this error message and does not play the video no matter what.

    Delete the content and download it again. If you've moved the iTunes library to a secondary volume, move it back to your home folder.

  • This movie requires QuickTime which is not supported ??

    Ok. A strange thing just happened.
    I just tried to watch a movie trailer on my MacBook Pro, everything is up to date, no visible updates, mavericks OS.
    I get the spinning beach-ball for thirty seconds, then a message pops up saying-
    "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes"
    What in earth is going on?
    I'd love some help.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the response. I've just been reading some of the discussions.
    All I know is that I didn't buy a mac to have this kind of stupid problem. I'm not going to start deleting things and messing around with files. It's supposed to just work properly.
    I mean, I'm using iTunes on a mac, what more do I need to to.
    I don't want any elaborate solutions. I want Apple to say, 'Sorry we realise there has been a bit of a hiccup, we're aware and we're fixing it right now. An update and a fix is on it's way'.
    So as of this point I can't watch movies on iTunes. I'm pretty sure the millions  Apple will be losing by the day will encourage a quick fix.

  • ITunes and Quicktime - Movie requires Quicktime which is not supported

    Ok.
    Issue is:  Movies and TV shows bought thru iTunes (10.5.1) on Lion (10.7.2) generate an error at time of playback.  Error is 'This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes."
    Help documents state to switch to 32 bit mode (which works).
    Here's what I've found out:
    Called Apple, couldn't figure out what the issue is.  Did the standard system/disk checks/repairs/permission repairs to no avail.  Created a new user to download the video to try and play it.. The user was able to stream the video correctly.
    I can play the videos IF I access them directly with QuickTime (and it doesn't need the 32 bit flag checked).  So, I copied my library files for iTunes over to the new account and tried again (before doing a file by file comparison of both user accounts) to see if maybe the size of the library I have might be an issue.
    Logged into the other account and it now had the issue playing the TV show.
    But, I don't consider that a valid test because I should have copied the file into it's existing library before replacing it to check and see if there's an issue with the file in iTune.
    which led me to an interesting solution.. If I find the file on the drive (my Library files and all videos are on a NAS server, btw) in Finder then tell iTunes to remove the video from iTunes but not delete the file, I can drag and drop the file back into iTunes and it plays fine.
    So, no need to switch to 32 bit mode, just have to delete the video from iTunes (but not the drive) then drag and drop it back into iTunes.
    It sounds like, for some systems, something isn't being toggled in the iTunes library or the File when it's added to iTunes via the downloader that allows iTunes to recognize the type of playback version required.  By deleting the reference in the library then manually adding it back in, the issue is bypassed and the videos are playable again.
    I have a headache now...  ;D

    Try reinstalling QuickTime Player, You can download it directly from Apple here -> http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    If that doesn't work, try reinstalling iTunes which should also reinstall QuickTime Player.

  • I just downloaded this movie and I'm being told that it "requires QuickTime, which is not supported"???

    I'm attempting to download and play a digital copy from the Jurassic Park Trilogy (for now, only Lost World). I'm able to play the iTunes extras, but attempts to play the actual movie returns the dialog "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes."
    I'm confused as to why a movie I just downloaded from iTunes an hour ago isn't actually compatible with iTunes?!?!? (Yes, it was downloaded from the iTunes store. The Jurassic Park Trilogy provides redemption codes, not an actual file.)
    (Its worth saying, the movie plays just fine in QuickTime itself.)

    Try restarting your iTunes in 32-bit mode, as per the following document:

  • ITunes rented movies won't play on my PC.  "This movie required QuickTime which this version of iTunes doesn't include.  So I downloaded QT but movies still won't play.  HELP

    iTunes rented movies won't play on my PC.  "This movie required QuickTime which this version of iTunes doesn't include."  So I downloaded QT 7 but movies still won't play.  HELP  Very frustrating.

    Ok nw the rented film is on the iPad which won't play and when I looked at the Mac I was greeted with an error message saying that the film could nt be transferred because the file had already been transferred somewhere else!  Thing is I can see it on theioad and the Mac still!
    Obviously the film Kees checking where it as you can't watch it in two places at the same time. I can understand that but I knw it's not anywhere else.
    The only thing I can think of is if when time machine backs it up it thinks it's being watched!
    Any ideas anyone?

  • Trying to play rented movie right away

    i tried to play the movie very shortly ater starting the download. i was asked if i wanted to watch and then warned that i have to watch it within 24 hours. i said fine. i was able to see about 4 seconds of the movie and then i hear the soundtrack but see nothing. still i have to watch within 24 hours. what was that whole thing about you could watch right away? any ideas?

    re: Once you sync, it's removed...
    You can move it between one device and the Mac you purchased the movie on as many times as you want, but not between anything else.
