HT3209 why can't I rent an HD movie on my Mac Pro Retina

What is a Pro Retina for if I can't rent HD movies from iTunes?

It worked for me by going to System Preferences, Display, and changing from "Best for Retina Display" to "Scaled" then moving the slider all of the way to the right (more space). Evidently, the native resolution for Best for Retina Display is not truly HD, but it can be adjusted to an HD standard.

  • HT5409 why can't I play an MPEG4 movie on my mac

    Why can't I play a movie shared from my MacBookPro as an MPEG4 on my MacBook Air or my main Mac computer?

    Have you tried VLC ? This problem can be easily solved with VLC player. If it does not work, you may need to convert MPEG-4 video to H.264 MP4 for playback on your Mac. Good luck.

    I just purchased an HD movie and it's fully downloaded, however when I try to play it, it doesn't do anything, it seems like itunes is working on it but nothing happens. My computer is compatible with 1080P Content? Can anyone help?

  • Why can't I install iMovie 10 on my 2008 Mac Pro?

    I am running Mavericks 10.9 and really like it. I tried to install iMovie 10 on my Mac Pro  Quad-Core Intel Xeon 2.8 GHz and it says my video card is not compatible. Huh? I have a ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT with 256mb vram.
    Thanks!
    Rich

    I don't think that card supports Open CL which iMovie 10 requires.

  • Why can't I rent Pirates of the Carribean?

    Why can't I rent Pirates of the Carribean? The new one???

    I think that's missing the point.  I don't really want to rent any movies from Verizon but the whole reason for making rental available is to see if we like the movie first, before we purchase it...because if we purchase a movie that we have never seen before, we are stuck with it, even if we don't like the movie. 
    Not that long ago, I was looking to see if I could rent "The Big Chill" and even that is only available for purchase. 
    But still, Verizon is not getting an extra buck from me just to watch extra movies.  I would much rather pay to watch a movie in the movie theater.

  • Why can't I rent movies in South Africa

    Why do we have limited functionality on the iPad simply because we linked to a South African account?
    I can't download/rent/purchase any movies or music or games! This limitation is causing me to only use certain functionality on my iPad, which considering the price of the device doesn't seem fair. With the Anroyd application store you are not limited to certain apps or downloads, however with apple everthing seems so controlled! Can someone please comment on the above.

    Why can't I rent movies in South Africa
    Because the movie companies have not given Apple permission to rent their movies there yet.
    Apple don't own or create the movies. They sell and rent them on behalf of the movie studios under license. They cannot sell and rent movies without permission.

  • HT5922 Why can't I airplay my HD movie? (HDCP)

    I downloaded Hugo HD (iTunes 12 days of gifts) on my Macbook Pro and it won't let me airplay to my apple tv. I can airplay from itunes normally. The airplay symbol will stay up until I start playing Hugo and then it disappears. I've tried mirroring and dragging my itunes screen to my apple tv and it displays "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)" error message. Why can't I play my HD movie on my apple tv? What's the deal?

    Note: Depending on your computer's hardware limitations, you may be unable to purchase, rent, or view HD content from the iTunes Store. If you are trying to view HD video on an external display, the display must have a digital connection (DVI, DisplayPort, or HDMI) and support HDCP.

  • Why can't I no longer watch movies from iTunes while they are downloading?

    Why can't I no longer watch movies from iTunes while they are downloading?

    Videos and movies purchased from the iTunes Store are by demand of the content owners copy protected and cannot be edited, regardless of what the software is you attempt to use. There is nothing anyone here can do to help you with that. If you need to be able to edit videos, you'll need to purchase and import the DVD - such importing is despite the content owners' efforts still legal for class use (as with any copyright issue, confirm fair use issues with your district's legal office) though we can't discuss methods here - which you'll then be able to edit.
    Regards.

    Not aware of a 12-inch Intel MBP. Anyway, could you possibly have an old version of flash player on your computer too. Look in the In the Internet Plug-ins folder to be sure you have only one flash player plugin. Path is HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin
    Also try searching your hard disk for flash.
    Some other things to try are in this thread.
