Can't play my videos! Help!

In iTunes, I try to play any of my video files, all of which were purchased from iTunes on this account, and most of which were downloaded onto this computer. (I had transferred some files from my desktop to my laptop, but they've all played successfully in the past.) When I try to play the video file, the authorization window pops up telling me this computer is not authorized, and asking for my account info to authorize. I do this, and it reports a successful authorization after contacting the iTunes store. Then the window freezes in place and I cannot click the 'OK' button to dismiss the dialog. In the background, behind iTunes, the Player window opens up with a dialog informing me that the computer is not authorized to play the file and asks for my account info again. I provide this, and it says it is attempting to contact iTunes. It fails to contact iTunes, tells me to install iTunes to play the file, and leaves me with a gray player window with no sound playing, and the progress bar progressing as though it were playing. I switch back to iTunes, and can now press the 'OK' button on the 'Authorization Successful' dialog box. If I try again, the same problem repeats.
· I haven't changed accounts.
· I have verified that the account info I use to verify purchases matches the info included in the ‘get info’ dialog on the files.
· I purchased and downloaded all of these videos on this account and most of them on this computer.
· I have verified that my account settings in the iTunes Store lists all the videos I’m trying to play.
· I am using an admin account on my computer, and I’ve tried running the application as admin.
· I’ve tried running iTunes in compatibility mode with XP.
· I’ve deleted the library files and recreated them.
· I deleted the ‘SC’ folder and rebooted the computer and tried again.
· I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and QuickTime, using a fresh download from the Apple.com website.
· I spent hours on the phone with the apple care tech support.
· I submitted an email to the iTunes store support, which referred me to an article that showed me some of these steps that didn’t work.
Nothing helps. I suspect there's an issue with the QuickTime player window that is called from iTunes because after iTunes reports a successful authorization, the QuickTime player reports a failure to authorize, asks for my authorization username and password, and tries to contact iTunes, which it fails to do every time, even though iTunes is running at the same time.

I am not at all savvy when it comes my iPod. But, I have been able to get much help here. Now please be patient with me on this one. I want to have music videos on my iPod. When I go into iTunes, I have three which I can play i Tunes, but have not idea how to get them into the iPod. What do I do??

My Nokia 7610 can't play .mp4 ! Please help...

I have converted some video in "Total Video Converter" and then uploaded it into my telephone Nokia 7610 (by USB cable). My telephone saw it, but not played ! Help please... Maybe you could name me some programms, which can convert video into .mp4 rightly (My phone (Nokia 7610) could play this video)

What parameters ( AUDIO: (Audio channel; Audio Codec; Sampling rate; Bit rate; Volume (level)). VIDEO OPTION: (Flame rate; Bit rate. VIDEO RESIZE: (Resize (size); Aspect). VIDEO CROP & PAD: (?crop ; ?pad)) must I set, to use this codec (h263)... I tell it to you because when I don't set the parameters (they are already set by the programm) and start to convert, Total video converter shows me this: "Error while openning codec for output stream #0.0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width, or height" (IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE INFORMATION I CAN GET YOU SCREENSHOTS)

HT3775 why I can't see the video named by mov.

= = help I can't open the file

If those video files have the extension .mov, .mp4 or .m4v at the end of the file name, Quicktime should be able to play them. If those video files don't have one of those extensions attached to them, you can add it manually.
Luckily, there are HUNDREDS of video/media players and Extensions, avaliable for the Mac, many of them FREE. Some of them are...
     Perian
     http://perian.org/
     Quicktime 7.6.6
     http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
     VLC
     http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html
     NicePlayer
     http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/15136/niceplayer
And if that still doesn't work, there is a possibility that those video files may be corrupted.

Can not play avi files; please help!!

i have a imac with Mac OS X 10.4.11; i can't get sound on any avi files, if take a mov file and convert it to avi, no sound; a friend give a disc with several avi movies, but i dont hear anything.
can anybody help me please

Download and install Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/

Hi! I have downloaded a ready-made website and I can't seem to open it. The "theme" install instructions are talking about a "zip" file which I cannot see. Would anyone know why I can't open it? PLEASE HELP!! Thanks!

Hi Everybody
I have downloaded three "ready-made" websites for me and it is supposed to have Wordpress in as well. I can see the folders in my downloads but I can't open them. It refers to a "zip" file which I don't see nor a "dmg", only a blue folder. Can anyone help me to figure out how to get this open and set up on my computer? I guess you can tell I'm new and very frustrated. Thank you!

It's not clear what you mean by 'see the folders in my downloads but I can't open them', although it seems possible that a zip file opened/unzipped to create them.
Perhaps if you include a screenshot, and/or a link to the site where you got these, and describe exactly what happens when you try to open a folder that won't open.

I can't update my videos, please help

im having trouble updating my videos to my ipod. Whenever i go to the ipod settings, and i go to videos, it is marked as, "do not update videos" and it is greyed so i cant change it, what should i do?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
This is because you are manually updating the music. You need to automatically update music to be able to automatically update videos.

Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly it and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be pl

Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly the drone and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos , sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be played . Checking the info shows that each of the unplayed videos was saved in the same mp4 format as the playable ones yet some of my most important videos won't play . It's getting very frustrating .

first; I use Perian, that helps even though it is no longer supported, (must have for avi files)
the apple-cores at apple have gotten very sloppy -- quicktime is a bit finicky and flakey.
example,   occasionally (when copy file from quad's card to hard drive) the avi will show up as a 'mov' file and qt plays it no problem and no conversion.
but that is very occasionally, most of the time qt won't convert the file,   -- iMovie won't open an avi without Perian installed , I don't know how that effects qt.
qt 7"pro" is no good either, (qt 10 does everything it does and for NOT the extra $35)
I have gone to VLC and MPlayerX for direct playback for drones and cameras.

JDunlop,
thanks for your quick reply to my java.sun.com forum posting! i just got back from vacation, so i didn't get a chance to try your method til now. i pulled your email address off the website to update you on my problem playing an avi file in JMStudio (JMF).
as per your instructions, i downloaded the divx player at www.divx.com and tried to play the avi file. this is the error the divx player gives:
Divx Player 2.1
The file contains unknown video data
The file contains the following type of data:
Video data: FOURCC code "MP42"
You may need to install a new video codec on your computer to watch this video
Some quick questions:
1. Where could I find the "MP42" codec to play my avi file in JMStudio (JMF)? Does java.sun.com have video codecs?
2. You mentioned in your posting "If you don't have the one that was used in the encoding, your out of luck." Does this mean that I need to know how the avi file was originally coded and have the original codec to decode (play) it?
Thanks,
lac410
P.S. If you need more Duke Dollars for your help, I'd be happy to award them to you.

sounds to me like you are missing a video codecs. If you don't have the one that was used in the encoding, your out of luck. Download the player from divx.com, it will tell you which codecs the video needs (if it won't play). You can then search the net for that particular codecs.

Can I play HD video on my macbook pro?, Can I play HD video on my macbook pro?

Hi
I am curious about why I am unable to play HD videos on my Macbook Pro? If i am using an HDMI cable to an HD TV, then I can't play any HD videos?
Please help (my computer knowledge is limited).
Curious learner

The short answer is you should be able to, but tell us what happens when you try and we'll try to help.
Can you play the video on your Mac's screen (not connected to the TV)?
When you connect to the TV with HDMI, do you see a desktop appear? (Before you start the movie.)
What kind of movie are you playing, and from where?

Why I can't watch any video on Apple official website?

Why I can't watch any video on Apple official website? Everytime I open it it's only a blank frame. I have already downloaded QuickTime several times, it's a windows8.1 PC.

I am new to Ubuntu, but I see videos ok. Firefox may play some natively but I also have FlashPlayer installed. IIRC FlashPlayer is not on the original Ubuntu 11.10 CD but has to be installed as a separate Firefox plugin. From your system information aside it appears you do already have FlashPlayer installed.
* Have you got FlashPlayer enabled currently ?
* I Note you have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DivX Div X] installed, which is not something I know about, but could that be interfering with some videos, have you tried disabling Div X.

Hi @livinglife,
Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
What is the error message displayed when you try playing the video? Have you tried using mobile data? If yes, does it show the same issue? What fixes have you tried so far? By the way, are you using the same phone model?

Can I play home video on my ipod touch?

Can I play home video on my ipod touch?

So, the only way to watch home video in ipod touch is via itunes? Because in fact i'm trying to use my ipod touch as a video monitor for my DSLR camera while i use it for filming. I thought i could use the hdmi adapter for ipod touch, but everyone tells me that it might not be possible, so i wont buy it without knowing if it is possible or not. I wonder if it is phisicaly possible, so all we would need for that is someone to develop a softare to use the hdmi adapter to watch a video into an ipod. I say this because my camera has a hdmi video out, but it could be with simple RCA cables too. Someone think it is possible?
