HT4743 Tv shows purchased wont play through tv, error says cant access iTunes store

Need assistance viewing tv show purchased on ipad, through Apple TV, get error can't access iTunes Store

Hi - I am now having this same exact problem on my Mac laptop.   I have many Breaking Bad, etc TV shows that I purchased through itunes & have watched over the years & now all of those, as well as, any new shows I purchase will not play on my laptop.    Just same as above person -- a black screen that appears to be playing movie (the timer is actually playing)  but no video or sound.    Shows / Movies all work fine on my home computer.  
On my laptop it keeps saying .. "Not authorized to play .... & then says  "Sign into Itunes.. "   - but I  do sign out & sign  back in & still nothing happens.   Very annoying and frustrating as I  can ususlly figure things out with perserverence and trial & error.

    Hi Doomtrooper,
    When you updated your iPhone 4S and iPad3 to iOS6, what exactly do you mean when you can't access the iTunes store? Have you checked your connection to the network?
    Please be a little more specific

  • HT1665 I have recently purchased a sony docking station and my ipod touch wont play through speakers.  does anyone know why

    I cant get my ipod touch to play through a docking station I have recently purchased.  A second ipod touch works fine.  Can anyone tell me why it wont play through speakers?
    thanks

    What model iPod and iOS works and which does not?
    Sometimes a 4G iPod will not fully sead in the dock because its case configuration is different that previous models.
    Also, sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility.
    Have you checked the dock manufactuer's support stie for compatibility?
    Sometimes this works:
    - 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.
    - 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.

  • Music wont play through my phones speakers

    Music wont play through my phones speakers, only through my headphones, it was working fine just the other day, I am not sure what to do. I downloaded the new IOS 6.1 and that is the only thing that I have done differently.

    And it doesn't even show a soundbar either

  • My ipod touch wont play through my docking station

    hiya i have an ipod touch. aout a week ago it stopped working with my docking station. it wont play through the docking station speakers. ive tried two other ipods on the station and they work fine so its clearly a problem with my ipod. the ipod registers that its plugged into a charging source and starts playing music when its plugged in but through its own speakers rather then the docking station. i've tried doing a full factory reset and that didnt work. does anybody have any suggestions?

    - Inspect the dock connector for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

    Reset the PRAM
    Reinstall the operating system from the dvd (you will not loose your data)

  • My iphone wont play certain songs that i bought from itunes on my phone, it just skips songs.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    My iphone wont play certain songs that i bought from itunes on my phone, it just skips songs.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    So i fixed it by converting each song to a AAC File or whatever. Made a dulicate song but it works, just right click on the song and hit convert to aACC File.  For one album I had to right click view in apple store and hit download on the songs that were skipping.

  • Cannot Access iTunes Store on Apple TV2 after purchase

    Hello,
    I cannot access iTunes Store on apple TV2.  I purchased a movie, but when i got to watch it after it shows up as "Rented" it just sits at the screen "Accessing iTunes Store".  Never times, out or produces error message.  Internet is working fine, my account is fine.
    If i launch an iTunes Store Trailer, it plays fine.  Just my rented material does not play.  Also, my Netflix account does the same thing from Apple TV2.  While accessing Netflix on my laptop there is no problem.  ***!

    Having exactly the same problem.  I have completed a reset, rebooted all my equipment and completed a software update, but after I have purchased 2 movies, and have them appear as "rented", I cannot get them to load without waiting a hour.  Then, if I leave the movie, I have the same problem all over again.  I also cannot access the iTunes store.

  • Rented movie stopped half way through,"Accessing itunes store" with revolving loader symbol

    FIrst nite with ATV2, it suddenly stopped working, didnt recognize my password, and ultimately i had to change my password. Then went to bed and tried again this morning. It worked.
    Second nite with ATV2, we rented a movie. 2/3 of way through movie, the loading circle appeared. cannot access the movie, though it recognizes that we have 22 hrs left on the movie.  cannot access other itunes content.
    --turned ATV off and back on--didnt work
    --checked network--no problems
    --reset ATV2--still cannot see anything but loading circle.
    Tried to see a tv show we'd watched earlier today. "accessing itunes store" with the loading circle appeared.
    HELP?
    I have spent more hours trying to make the device work than enjoying it.
    Thinking that I want to return this product. it works like a PC device.
    If you dont know how to fix it, can you tell me,
    HOW do i return it?

    are you guys watching TV late at night. I've noticed that the shows stop working at around 11 to 11.30 pm pacific time. I suppose that iTunes updates their catalogue to include the latest shows that are new and cleared for sale after the night's TV schedule. I think it's poor iTunes judgement to do that. Most people watch TV at night. They should update their catalogue some time in the morning hours.
    I usually just unplug my apple TV, restart and then wait for a while to make it work.
    If you guys get stuck because you put the show on pause then the remedy is to turn the screen saver off. Switch it to never because then when you pause and iTunes server goes out you don't have to re-authorize the show to continue watching it. That's if you purchased and the show was sownloaded to your apple TV

  • Hi could you please tell me why I can't access iTunes Store to gain extra lives in the Candy crush game I am playing

    I have been playing Candy Crush on iPad all night and accessing iTunes Store for extra lives which I had no trouble for some time but now I can not obtain any. The message states " Your purchase could not be accessed" Could someone give me an idea on how to gain more lives, I have tried changing account info however still not working

    One possible explanation is your iPad may have restrictions.  Check Settings > General > Restrictions

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)
