HT3209 High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection

what the "F" am I supposed to do with all of my HD movies that I have purchased? Thanks a pantload.

How are you connecting to the TV?
Provided the TV is HDCP compliant it should work in theory if connecting by HDMI.
HDCP is not an Apple invention but something that will aply to Blu Ray players, HD satellite/cable boxes etc. to prevent unauthorised copying of HD content. The movie studios/TV stations who own the rights will insist on it, but all it does is affect the genuine customer who is sometimes unable to play the content in the way they want.

Why would my late 2012 MacBook Air suddenly tell me "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)" every time I try to play a film, or TV file?

8GB late 2012 MacBook Air 512GB SSD with iTunes for Mac 12.1.0.50. Yosomite 10.10.2
This happens on movies and TV titles that have happily run before.

It is everything.
Downloading again doesn't seem to work. I deleted all my films and then just re-downloaded Pixar's 5 minute short film Boundin', but the error message popped up as soon as I pressed play.
The only thing I can think of is that last couple of times I ran Disk Utility a new error appeared that I haven't seen before. I have added a link to a screenshot of the Disk Utility report and it refers to "displaypolicyd should be should be 0, group is 244". It says it has been fixed, but the error still persists each time. This may be a red herring, but I can't help thinking that it is something to do with the problem.

High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) Errors in iTunes and Display Link Drivers

Since August 2014 after an upgrade to iTunes, my 2010 white unibody macbook has been unable to run ANY videos bought from the iTunes store citing HDCP issues with my INTERNAL screen. I tried external screens, TVs, resetting PRAM, ... etc to no avail. I found a mention of Displaylink drivers as a possible issue.
I use Display Link drivers to run my ASUS MB168B+ external USB screen (which I love). I uninstalled the drivers and voila! the videos work again. Sadly, my screen won't run any more...
I am posting this in hope that the iTunes team and the Display Link team partner up to fix this issue which seems to be affecting a number of Mac users around the world.

The problem is probably your internet connection not the Apple TV.
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net. If you do this using a computer connected by ethernet, you should get a fairly good indication of your incoming speed from the ISP. If you are using a device connected by wifi you will need to take account of the portion of your internal network being used and the effect it might have on the result you are seeing. Another option is to access your modem (see your manual to determine how to do this) through your web browser or specialist software supplied by your ISP, the software on the modem itself will often tell you your connection speeds somewhere.
1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

HDCP - High and Dry : Content Protected

Hi,
I am getting a bit concerned that Apple are going to leave Cinema Display users high and dry when it comes to HDCP. I'd like to think that this can be solved with either a £200 new graphics card or a firmware update - and that my newly bought display is not going to be left unable to to play content.
I didn't even realise HDCP existed until I started reading forums yesterday about those with AppleTV unable to play content. I'm pretty concerned now.
Any OS X native solutions? I have already submitted a suggestion to Apple.
Can this be solved with a firmware update, as DVI will support HDCP? I realise that both graphics card and monitor must support the HDCP protocol.
Jim

Whether or not the your Cinema will ever support HDCP or not has a lot to do with what hardware is inside it. If the TMDS receiver within the Cinema has an HDCP option that was not enabled by Apple, then it could possibly be firmware upgraded to include HDCP functionality in theory. But unless someone knows what chip Apple is using to receive TMDS (DVI), then the question can't be answered. If I were the betting sort, I would put money on your Cinema going to its grave without ever supporting HDCP.

New MacBook containsa form of digital copy protection - TRUE?

I was told that Apple's new MacBook lines includes a form of digital copy protection that will prevent protected media, such as DRM-infused iTunes movies, from playing back on devices that aren't compliant with the new priority protection measures.
The Intel-developed technology is called High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) and aims to prevent copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across a variety of display connectors, even if such copying is not in violation of fair use laws.
Among the connectors supported by the technology are the Mini DisplayPort found on Apple's latest MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air, in addition to others such as Digital Visual Interface (DVI), High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), Gigabit Video Interface (GVIF), and Unified Display Interface (UDI).
Apple has apparently acquired a license for the technology and is now using it across its DisplayPort-enabled MacBook lines to to prevent transmission of purchased iTunes content to devices that don't include support for HDCP.
Will this mean that if I purchase legitimate Video/Movies form Apple I will no longer be able to play them on Windows OS, PS3, XBox etc?, I hope not?

Right you are guys, thank you so much for responding!
I found out today that if HDCP was my problem I would still be able to mirror my desktop onto my TV, ie my samsung LN32A450, but I can not. The adaptor works on many other things as I mentioned above but not my TV.
I have been speaking with Samsung today and they have no information about the issue other then sending a technician to my house to have a look and if it's not the TV's fault then I will be charged for the service.
So summary;
Apple = no advice
Samsung = no advice
MDP-VGA company = apple = no advice
Therefore I must trial and error it.
I checked for updated firmware for the TV, placed the file onto a flash drive and inserted into my TV driver was up to date .: no results also no updates for the macbook.
I went to futureshop and tried running my macbook on a samsung 450 series (same as mine) and a 550 series (next step up) and same thing, no video on the TV.
I then moved to a toshiba and it worked instantly, as well when I checked with tech support on campus they brought me to the campus computer store down the hall and we hooked it up to the toshiba in there and it worked right a way.
macbook +MDP-VGA + PC computer monitor = works
macbook +MDP-VGA + projector = works
macbook +MDP-VGA + toshiba HDTV = works
macbook MDP-VGA LG HDTV= doesn't work
macbook +MDP-VGA + samsung HDTV = doesn't work
I have been trying really hard to figure this out with no resolve and it's been terrible, If you guys can figure out this riddle you are doing better then me, Samsung, and Apple combined.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
oh and sorry for the comment about waiting for 10.6, I meant it would be brutal to have to wait for the next OS or replace my macbook again just to get this to work.
It might just be your Samsung TV being compliant to HDCP but not DPCP (Display Port Content Protection) which your Toshiba TV might be.

Virus Malware Malicious content protection software?

Is it true that I will not need to have active virus/malware /malicious content protection on my Mac? Should I, or dont bother?

1. This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets (see below.)
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been another layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't actually been tested by Apple (unless it comes from the Mac App Store), but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. For most practical purposes, applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed can be considered safe.
Gatekeeper has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could find some other way to evade Apple's controls.
For more information about Gatekeeper, see this Apple Support article.
4. Beyond XProtect and Gatekeeper, there’s no benefit, in most cases, from any other automated protection against malware. The first and best line of defense is always your own intelligence. All known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
That means, in practice, that you never use software that comes from an untrustworthy source. How do you know whether a source is trustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "archive extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn users who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe.
5. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was never a good idea, and Java's developers have had a lot of trouble implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style "virus" affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful. Fortunately, Java on the Web is mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. A separate Java installer is distributed by Apple, and another one by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers. In Safari, this is done by unchecking the box marked Enable Java in the Security tab of the preferences dialog.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a specific task, enable Java only when needed for the task and disable it immediately when done. Close all other browser windows and tabs, and don't visit any other sites while Java is active. Never enable any version of Java on a public web page that carries third-party advertising. Use it, if at all, only on well-known, password-protected, secure business or government websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
6. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
7. ClamXav doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
ClamXav is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
ClamXav may be able to tell you which particular virus or trojan it is, but do you care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use ClamXav unless a network administrator requires you to run an anti-virus application.
8. The greatest harm done by anti-virus software, in my opinion, is in its effect on human behavior. It does little or nothing to protect people from emerging threats, but they get a false sense of security from it, and then they may behave in ways that expose them to higher risk. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.

Hi Rodrigo,
Though both Azure Blob and Azure applications support custom domain, one domain could have only one DNS record (in this case is CNAME record) at one time. For Steve's case, he has 3 domains, blog.smarx.com, files.blog.smarx.com and cdn.blog.smarx.com.
> I would like to find a way to storage my html page that I need to edit under the same domain.
For this case, a workaround will be adding a http handler in your Azure application to serve file requests. That means we do not use the actual blob url to access blob content but send the request to a http handler then the http handler gets the content
from blob storage and returns it.
Please check
Accessing blobs in private container without Shared Access Secret key for a code sample.
Thanks.

Downloading e-pub with digital watermarking protection

Hi all; I always bought e-books for my Nook and successfully downoaded them. The format was e-pub with DRM protection. Downoadings are addressed to 'bought books' directory in Adobe Digital Editions and then they're readable on 'my documents' in my Nook. The last one I bought, was an e-book e-pub with digital watermarking protection. I don't know if different protection is the cause, but this time the downloading is automatically addressed to 'reading now' in ADE. This time the e-book is not in the list of 'bought books' (in ADE). When I disconnect Nook, the book is in 'my documents' list (of Nook), but when I try to open it, I only see the cover for a couple of seconds, and the page is reverted again to 'my documents'.
How to do? I can open it in ADE on my PC, but not on Nook. I'll appreciate any help!

I moved your posting from the Workspaces forum to the Digital Editions forum.

Desktop Manager and Content Protection

Hi,
We've enabled content protection across all our devices via an IT policy. We are noticing that now, when some users try to connect to their devices via the desktop manager, the manager hangs.
Is this just a coincidence or is there problems connecting to devices with content protection enabled?

I'm glad I found this thread.
I loaded the Desktop Manager and Roxio Media Manager 2 days ago. It completely crippled my laptop (running Vista, 4GB RAM etc), which previously ran very well.
I suspected it was Roxio when I watched it take 20 minutes to install.
Worringly, my laptop was crippled without the Desktop or Roxio software being used. The response rate was once every 5 minutes, and when eventually getting to the Task Manager and looking at the Processes and Applications (a 15 minute job!), there was nothing untoward.
Having uninstalled them and rebooted, the laptop is back to its former glory so quite what Roxio was doing in the background, I have no idea. I won't be touching it again.

High Bandwidth Voltage Input Isolation

Hello,
I'm using the NI 6025E DAQ board and connect it through the SC2050 conditioning board to an analog I/O board, 5B01. I would like to isolate between the board and an analog signal coming out of of a DUT unit, and I need the isolation unit to be able to handle signals of Mghzs bandwidths.
I realize that I cannot find a 5Bxx unit with such high BW, but what do you recommend I should do instead ?
Michael.

Hello Michael,
I see that you are looking for an isolation module to connect to your 6025E device that has a bandwidth in the MHz range. Unfortunately, I think this type of setup will not work for you since the 6025E has a maximum sampling rate of 200kHz. If you need to be able to sample data in the MHz range you will need to have a device that can sample much faster (i.e. High Speed S-Series or NI-Scope products).
Typically you do not see much signal conditioning for these types of devices since they have such a high bandwidth. For example if you look at our SXCI isolated analog input modules they have a bandwidth of just over 20kHz.
I hope this helps. If you have any additional questions can you please give us a little more information about the signal coming from your DUT (i.e. voltage and frequency range and what type of isolation you are looking for)?
Regards,

Content protection problem

Hi. I've got that content protection problem when downloading from blackberry app world. Every time I try to download something, a message comes up that says, "An error has occurred communicating with the BlackBerry App World Client. If you have content protection enabled on your device, please disable and try again,". I'm sure a lot of people had this problem and many of them have had their problem solved, but i've already tried solutions like disabling the encryption and doing the battery pull but the message still comes up.
Are there any other solutions that I can try?
Thank you in advance

"Content Protection Enabled" - HELP!

Sometimes when I am receiving a BBM message, it doesn't display; instead I see "Content Protection Enabled". It happens sporadically, and could be in the middle of a series of messages from the same person. Can anyone offer some advice to fix this?
Thanks! Dianne
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It depends on which OS version you have on your Blackberry. In OS 6, go into Options, Security, Encryption. I don't remember where it was on older OS versions, but it was still under Options.
You can still keep the password enabled. It's just the encryption or content protection that causes that error message.

Does the 20" Display support high-definition (HDTV) content?

Hi, I recently installed bootcamp on my mbp. In order to use my apple 20" display as the primary display I had to install an nvidia driver and it is asking me if my display supports high definition (hdtv) content. It says if I click yes and the display can't it could severely damage the display... So does anybody know if my 20" display supports this? Any comment is appriciated, thanks!
Finley

The 20" will handle some HD (720p) but not 1080. I don't know if Windows considers it HD or not, but the wrong driver won't cause any damage (it could with a CRT).

The above link explains that you need the phone to be connected to the mobile network (as well as the PC's broadband connection) so that App World can verify that you are set to network time.
