HT203180 iPhone 4 that it says can't play Expendables 2

I have an iPhone 4. I added my Expendables 2 (iTunes digital copy) to my movie list and tried to sync it. When it got to the Expendables 2 movie I got an error message saying that it can't sync because it cannot play on this iphone. Everything else went on it fine and I have no playing issues with anything else. I'm pretty sure the iphone 4 can play HD video if in fact it is a HD digital copy. Anyone have any ideas why that one in particular won't sync?

That says HD video plays on iphone 4, and it was a digital copy from a dvd with a code. The other new movies I added at the same time have no problems syncing or playing, just that one. I have seen other people with the same comment but on an ipod and wondered if it was a movie specific issue...

  • TS3217 When I try to skip one song on my ipone, it skips through several. The songs that are skipped can be played on the same iphone if I go into my itunes and select that song. So this tells me that the song can be played, therefore, it is not the song.

    When I try to skip through a song on my iPhone, it skips through several songs. The songs that are skipped can be played on the same iphone (when I go into to itunes library on my phone), so I know that it's not the song. I have the latest softeware downloaded on both my iphone and itunes. In fact, this only recently started occuring when I reconnected my iphone to my laptop about a month ago to install the new updates on itunes.
    I also have an itouch and an ipod, both of which have been updated at the same time as my iphone and they do not skip through songs.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - 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.

  • HT201365 How can I set up find my iPhone so that my wife can find it from her phone

    How can I set up find my iPhone so that my wife can find it from her phone

    Find my iPhone is tied to the iCloud account set up on the device.  If you set up your iCloud account on your device, the only way for her to track it on her phone would be to use the free Find My iPhone app and login with your AppleID and password.

  • When i sync my music from com to my Iphone and movie clips I can't play them. It look likes it is in iCloud. Next to the music and movie clips there is a download sign (circle with a dot inside)

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • I rented 3 episodes of a TV Show on my iPhone but it says can't play this type of file?

    I paid for the rental, it was downloaded on an iPhone, yet when I go to play it it tells me "Cant play this type of file".
    So confused - why did it allow the download, but can't play it? I have an iPhone 3G - anyone have a similar problem (or know a solution?)

    First off, which nano? The 6th doesn't do video, and while I've never tried a TV show or movie, I have loaded some short video podcasts, which will play the audio, but not the video.
    I'd look through the different tabs in iTunes to see if there is a checkbox that turns on the ability to use video on your 5th or earlier Nano, if that's what you have. Lastly, did you buy the show from the iTunes store, or somewhere else?

  • I just updated Itunes to the newest version and now my entire song library is saying 'can't play this song because original file can't be found'.  ***??

    I have no idea what happened!?  I just updated Itunes on my macbook and now my entire song library won't play.  When I click on a song it says it can't play because it can't find the original file.  How is this possible?  The original files are on my computer.  I just upgraded!! HELP!!

    The only thing I can think of is that you deleted these files off your computer without using iTunes to do it. Or maybe you backed up your computer to a previous state to where these song files didn't exist? The last one doesn't even make sense to me unless you used Time Machine to do it. But those are the only things I can think of.

  • Pre Lion iPhone videos show Thumbnail but can't play - new video generates Unsupported Video Format popup, no thumb but will play via quicktime

    This is really frustrating -
    Over the last year I have been uploading all of my photos and occasional iPhone video to Aperture 3 (latest version all patches in place).    Aperture would recognize the video, create a thumbnale and otherwise treat it nicely.
    Now, since upgrading to Lion I find that though I can "see" the old videos in their folders or projects and the associated Thunbnale, I can't play them - I either get the spinning color wheel and then nothing or Aperture will crash and report an error relating to Quicktime (sorry don't have an error code at the moment).
    If I try and export a video I can - but what I get also can't be played by Quicktime - just a black screen.  When I hit Play - the scroll bar moves, but there is no sound or video.
    From Final Cut Pro X, I can imoprt this exported video file and see that it appears complete - but FCPX uses it's own playback elements.
    If I shoot a new video on my iPhone, I find that I can see the thumbnale in the import option of Aperture when looking at the phone, but once imported I get a Popup telling me that it is an "Unsupported Video Format" - "Do you want to open this video clip with QuickTIme Player?"   If I hit Open then the clip does play, but the thumbnale remains a black square with the warning Exclamation Point.
    I have also had some issues with Lion Mail crashing when trying to play a video made on an iPhone and sent to me via email.   Seems more likley to be a Lion / Quicktime issue then an Aperture and Mail issue - but who knows.
    I spent 2.5 hours of quality time with the Genius bar this morning.  We reinstalled Lion and after that the suggestion was to trash and re-install Aperture, but that would require my disc and of coruse a trip home.   Mail doesn't seem to still have the issues with iPhone movies that it had - but Aperture is still not happy.
    Did as instructed and dragged Aperture 3 to the trash, did the empty trash option, restarted and reinstalled.   Then did a software update to catch the new update for Aperture and it found that.   Interestingly when I did start it up after that it DID NOT ask me for my key - so clearly some elements were left over.  
    Now upon retstarting Aperture 3 once again I find that I can still see my old movies (their thumbnails show up) but I still can't play them.   The new test movie is there but still generates the popup regarding it being an Unsupported Video Format.
    And it's not just my iPhone.   Video sent via email from another iPhone can play as an attachment, or when dragged and dropped to the desktop, but once imported into Aperture is once again proclaimed to be an Unsupported Video Format.  
    Hoping someone out there knows how to resolve this....

    For some reason it just started to work now. Have no idea what didn't work before.

  • How can I transfer songs that itunes says can't be converted?

    I have 38 songs and 5 video's that I purchased through Itunes that won't transfer over to my IPOD CLASSIC 120G. Keepp getting an error message saying these files can't be converted. I had them on it at one time then later on it started to delete them from the ipod a few at a time saying they couldn't be converted.  Any way I can fix this problem?

    Had to reset the Ipod back to it's factory settings and reload everything as if it were never there before. Too include naming the ipod. Now everything is back on it. All 62 movies, 2800 songs and 1579 scanned images of my DVD/BLUE RAY collection. and still have 17.7 gigs of memory free!! Gonna have to get a 160gig classic soon.

  • How do I delete an image that is saying "can't delete"?

    How do I delete an image that is not letting me delete?

    Thank you for replying, I just tried that a few times and no go...  ugh!  It pops up a window saying, " The item "....jpg" can't be moved to the Trash because it can't be deleted." Then it just gives me an ok button option.

  • I'm trying to purchase extra items in an app on my iphone and It keeps saying can not connect to itunes store, and comes up as can not complete transaction. I updated my billing info because I had an expired card on my account but it's still not working.

    Explained my problem in the subject

    Hi Kylegundrum,
    Try resetting your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your issue is resolved.
    Cheers,

  • Music on slideshow says can only play on authorized machines

    I'm putting together a DVD with photos that I have taken. I've imported several slideshows to iDVD without a problem but the last one that I have tried to add loads but has this message that comes up "Music on this slideshow can only be played on authorized machines". It lets me click okay. Will I encounter a problem later on?

    The DVD is fine when viewing with Preview in IDVD 6. After it's burned and I try to play it on the tv, eight of the nine slideshows will play fine. It's only the big saved slideshow that is the problem.
    Here's another real head scratcher............I've burned about 10 DVDs now and all of them are like described above except for one. That one DVD will open ALL the slideshows fine. Of course on that DVD I had forgotten to click "loop" so they could use it at the party without having to keep starting it over and over again. So now, why would 9 DVDs have the problem and one not have it? So it seems to me that it's not my DVD player for the tv that is the problem, but I have another DVD player on our downstairs tv so I will go check them out down there.
