I fixed it. I just had to unplug my second monitor and re-plug it in. All is better now.

ITunes Error: Cannot play bought iTunes movie from one day to the other "The selected movie won't play on your display."

Hi,
just a few weeks ago I watched on my new iMac 5k Retina a long-ago-downloaded movie (iTunes content, HD, Billy Joel. Live at Shea Stadium). I had no issues watching it on the new wonderful display just a few weeks ago!
Today I wanted to resume the video and got the error "The selected movie won’t play on your display. This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).".
Actually the movie plays for a few seconds and then the movie window gets black and the error message appears. Restarting iTunes does not help. Restarting the Mac also not.
How can this be fixed?
Additionally I get since I moved from my old iMac to the new one the iTunes error "Do you want the application “iTunes.app” to accept incoming network connections?" every time I start iTunes.

Selected movie won't play SOLVED

I had this problem trying to play a rented movie. Got the message The selected movie won't play on one of your connected displays. My problem was with a software which is made by INFOCUS for their projector. I removed it and now the movie plays even on the projector and without the software. I have seen that solution in this forum elsewhere.

Hello guys,
Please note that to be able to play your purchased HD movies or videos, let us not forget some minor details. Ensure that your iTunes software is up-to-date. HD videos will only play if you have iTunes 10.6 or later as described in this article:
iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos
You might also want to check this one:
iTunes for Windows: Unable to view or play HD video content that requires HDCP
I hope this helps a lot! Good luck!

Restore the iPhone when connected to iTunes by cable.
Still the same TS1275?
Is your iPhone jailbroken?
Or
Has your computer ever been used to jailbrake or downgrade (Tinyumbrella) any iPhone?

I got an error when installing Elements 13 that says, "The file archive part of Adobe Elements 13 is missing. You need all parts in the same folder in order to extract." What's goihng on here? I get this when downloading the 2nd file for Win 8 64 bit

It never asked for a location to download either file....Also, has anybody figured out how to access live chat with Adobe? I'm thinking this option in summary of options available is BS as it's all grade out.

Hi Justme,
Apologies for your incovinience.
Requesting you to please go to https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_elements&loc=us. When you click on download button (after selecting your OS details), it should open a new browser window (which will launch the Akamai installer automatically). Please cancel any installation or error shown.
The newly opened browser page will look something like this:
As highlighted, please click on these links (one by one) and see if it downloads the required files. The downloaded files will be compressed with 7z format. If you have some extracting tool (like WinZip) try extracting it. If you don't have it, download 7z. Its a free utility from Microsoft. Once downloaded and installed, you will be able to extract file and locate the PSE setup.
Please let me know if you face any issues.

HT1657 After downloading the rented movie, will I need Internet service to watch it

If I download a rented movie from iTunes Store. Can I watch it in an area which has no Internet service, such as a camp site

As long as it has been fully downloaded then you should be able to watch it whilst offline

My new download harry potter movie won't play

I just downloaded the new harry potter movie and it won't play. The music plays and the intro plays but no movie starts, any ideas?

Same problem here. After completely downloading the movie, it froze 5 min. into the movie. Could not get it to play as the play arrow and chapter selection buttons embedded into the on-screen menu options were inactive. Tried to re-download but had same results 15 min. into the movie (also got charged twice). I'm still puzzled by the problem but have reported both to Apple, requesting refunds for both.

Selected Movie Won't Play on Your Display!

I've purchased a new Mac Pro a few months before this problem arose, so the bug could be related to moving my files to the new (albeit currently authorized) computer, but I doubt it. I am suddenly unable to play my purchased movies (such as "UP" in HD) without a new monitor apparently.
I have an Apple Cinema Display, and also view my movies with AppleTV. These movies previously played on both without problem. Now, iTunes won't let me play the movie on either!!? I did recently re-download all purchases, and I think the newer movie versions are a part of this problem if not the most likely culprit. I am running iTunes 10.4.1 & OS 10.6.8 on a Mac Pro 12-core with a 27in Apple Cinema Display, AppleTV 2 and an Airport Extreme 802.11.n for my Wi-Fi.
I've tried restarting the computer, repairing permissions, adding the movie to a playlist, burning to data DVD and re-importing with no avail. Can someone please tell me how I can fix this?
I hope this is a bug, and not representative of the DRM policy at Apple. Who on EARTH would just go buy new HDTV and computer monitor to satisfy the DRM of Apple? This is either bad policy or a very bad bug. I hate to say this, but this is why people are justified in looking for apps that break DRM. If THIS doesn't qualify for fair use of material I've purchased, I don't know what does. Can I just play the media I've purchased on my "authorized" Apple devices?
Sorry for the rant mixed in with the question. Thanks to anyone who has suggestions that will help me here.

Ok,
I found a way to remove the DRM from the movies I've purchased from iTunes. Unfortunately, this means they've kicked me back to DVD and I will steer well clear of digital movie purchases for a long time. Also, I'll have to advise others to do the same.
Realistically, the new version of iTunes or OSX (updates seem to be the problem as my laptop does not experience the same issue with these files) should have come with a large-print warning that I may be unable to view purchased movies if I installed the updates.
Some people will shout that it's my fault for not reading the fine print of these downloads, but if you think every consumer who might purchase from iTunes or other online media stores should read all fine print of every security download or other software update just to ensure large corporations don't use the fine print to steal content you've purchased, then you are; a) smoking something b) a lawyer c) a half-wit.
I do love Apple products, and will be the first to admit that I'll support them anytime the lines are gray (and am trying hard to support the new Final Cut Pro because I think it's going to be awesome for everyone), but this is pretty clear-cut, bad behavior.
It's probably great grounds for a class action lawsuit. I've certainly been invited to join successful lawsuits that were based on MUCH less.
I wish I could help others who have this issue, but for obvious reasons the best I can tell you is to go purchase the movies on DVD and avoid iTunes or other digital media vendors.

After quicktime upgrade, old movie won't play smooth

Hi, I had an older verson of quicktime and a movie I had edited in imovie worked and played fine, then I upgraded to quicktime 7.0.1 and now the movie plays unsmooth with pasues and skips. All my other movies that I edited in imovie play fine, but they are not as big. Any ideas on why or what I should do? thanks

The object tag code is used by Internet Explorer and the embed tag is used by all other browsers.
Your page code is missing quote marks around the words true, loop and controller. This may be causing other browsers some trouble.
I tried downloading the file via QuickTime Player's Open URL feature:
http://inthestudioshow.com/media/Inthe_Studio_ep_promomed.mov
The movie is not set to fast start. You can fix this by using QT Pro.
Open the file (the version on your server) and use Save As (save location is your Desktop). Upload this "new" version to your server and replace the "old" one.
Save As will restore the fast start properties in the file.

When I press space to play the clips/movie won't play at all

There are no signs that the clips are corrupt, there is no yellow warning triangle etc. But when I press spacebar the screen changes as if it were to play but the line doesn't move at all and the clip stays 'frozen'

have you tried closing all your apps on your computer and then restarting it to see if that solves the problem ?

I keep getting this error for several websites: *An error occurred. Error Code: 2005 *Your connection to the server has closed. [Status Code: 1042] HOW CAN I FIX THIS?

I'll be in a forum on a website and be fine for like 2 minutes then it will boot me and give that error.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

I am unable to download iTunes on my second Windows 8 computer (64 bit). I got it fine on my first one and have used it quite a bit. After downloading the program and installing it on the second computer, I keep getting this error message: "Apple Mobile Device Failed to Start." This happens when when my IPhone 5c is connected via Wi-Fi and I have clicked on "Trust This Computer." (I have tried to install several times-- It gets hung up when it reaches"Starting Services.")

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.
