I am getting the error "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP" when attempting to play a HD movie from iTunes to my TV.  The TV is a Samsung UN46B7000WF w/resolution 1080p

Hello Apple Community,
I am getting the message "THis movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)."  This is the first time I have tried to watch a HD movie that I bought from iTunes from my iMac to my TV.  (This is also the first attempt to go from my iMac to my TV.)  I have a Samsung LED tv that says it is HDCP compatible with Full HD (1080p) and Native resolution is 1920X1080.  I bought a Rocketfish Thunderbolt to/Mini Displayport to HDMI adapter (says support is up to 1920X1200 video resolution) and Mediabridge ULTRA Series HDMI Cable (35 Feet) - High-Speed Supports Ethernet, 3D and Audio Return category 2 certified (supports resolution up to 4K including 1440p, 1080p, 1080i and lower).
I can get the iMac to display on my TV but am guessing that I have not managed the settings correctly in Display for either the iMac or the TV.  In addition, I do not have sound yet.  Although, the card from Mediabridge says that I need to update my drivers.  Any help/advice with the settings for iMac to TV to watch in HD and adding HDMI drivers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Lisa

Hello All,
I have figured out the sound issue: System Preferences>Sound and choose the TV for output.
Regards,
Lisa

  • This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP?

  • 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.

    What to do?? - I just updated my iTunes to ver 11.2.1 because of the annoying messages they keep sending out.
    Now I can't play the movies and TV series I've purchased and were watchable before.
    Comes up with "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)."
    The cheek of the matter is everytime I tried to get Apple support it comes up with a request for me to pay $54 for their support package, to fix a problem I didn't have until I complied to one of their update requests.
    End of Rant!!! - Anyone know how to fix please?

    Well, I wonder about all the responses...:)
    Anyhow, I wound up "fixing" the problem by using the System Restore disks for the Mini. It's now running Tiger 10.4.11 (with all updates) and I copied my iTunes library over. It all works now. <shrug> I have no idea what the problem was, and I'm a bit leery of upgrading it to Leopard, so I think I'll just leave well enough alone.

  • Create a SharePoint 2013 Appplication in C#,Error:This operation can be performed only on a computer that is joined to a server farm

    I want to create a sharepoint application in C#:
    SPFarm CurrentFarm = SPFarm.Local;
    SPWebApplicationBuilder webAppBlder = new SPWebApplicationBuilder(CurrentFarm);
    webAppBlder.UseNTLMExclusively = true;
    webAppBlder.AllowAnonymousAccess = false;
    webAppBlder.UseSecureSocketsLayer = false;
    SPWebApplication webApp = webAppBlder.Create();
    webApp.Provision();
    It's create a new application succeed,but when I view the site there is an error:
    This operation can be performed only on a computer that is joined to a server farm by users who have permissions in SQL Server to read from the configuration database. To connect this server to the server farm, use the SharePoint Products Configuration
    Wizard, located on the Start menu in Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products.
    How can I fix this issue?
    ps:I had create some new application in sharepoint web site.It's all fine without any issue.
    The sharepoint server,sqlserver and the programs in the same machine.
    Besr regards

    Hi,
    I think below line is causing the error -
    SPWebApplicationBuilder webAppBlder = new SPWebApplicationBuilder(CurrentFarm);
    can you put that line within a try catch and see that causes an exception. If so,  you might try as below-
    SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
    webAppBuilder = new SPWebApplicationBuilder(CurrentFarm);
    Hope this helps!

  • SP 2013 - Error: This operation can be performed only on a computer that is joined to a server farm

    Hello Community!
    I am working with SharePoint 2013 and I built a farm inside the firewall.  Then a decision was made to move the two WFE's to the DMZ.  Since that time, whenever I try to access the site collections, I get the error below.  Other information: All
    the web applications are on port 80, but I'm not having any problem with accessing Central Administration which is on port 8080; the network team did screw up the DNS originally, but I'm told it's correct now; the two WFE's servers show in my Manage servers
    on the Farm interface 2X, once with the server name, once with the fully Qualified Domain Name, the ones with the FQDN shows a Services Running status of Not Configured.
    Has anyone else ever seen this error and if so please provide guidance and instruction for fixing the error.
    Thanks!

    Hi Tom,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you moved your SharePoint.
    This error occurs when the SharePoint farm administrator cannot connect to your configuration database. Please verify the followings:
    Make sure that from the SharePoint front end and application servers that you can ping your SQL server.
    Make sure that your Farm account has permission to the configuration database.
    Lastly verify that your database didn't for some reasons go into recovery mode.
    once everything is fine and you are still having issues, restart the SQL host service on the SQL server. Once the service is restarted you will need to reboot Central Admin and then your front end servers.
    In addition, as you built your farm inside the firewall, please disable the firwall, or create rules for SQL Server service in the firwall on SQL server. More information about creating rules in firewall, please refer to the following posts:

  • TS3354 "To play this movie in HD, you must have a PC with a built-in display or have it connected to a display that supports HDCP."

    I recently reinstalled restored my Toshiba laptop with Windows 8 to factory condition.  I reinstalled iTunes, and now when I try to play a movie, I get this error message:  "To play  (name of movie) you must have a PC with built-in display or have it connected to a display that has built in HDCP."  This happens with both my downloaded movies and my iCloud movies.  It never did this before.  Any suggestions?

    I have the exact same problem. I watched both AnchorMan 2 and The Hobbit Desolation of Smaug a week ago on my set up. BenQ monitor ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series Video card. No issues. Then I reformat and all of a sudden my purchased movies give me that error. It's so frustrating.
    The odd part is for the Hobbit the itunes extras will start just like before, however I can't select a scene.
    How is there no response to this? Are we missing something obivous? A default setting? Driver?
    Help please!

  • I'm using the icloud for my contacts and calendar. My contacts will not update when I sync my Ipad or Iphone with Itunes. Isn't the Icloud supposed to push to all devices

    I'm using Icloud for my contacts and calendar. The contacts on the Icloud will not sync updated to my Iphone and Ipad. My calendar does sync correctly. Why is this happening?

    Syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with an iCloud account has nothing to do with syncing with iTunes.
    On your iPhone go to Settings > iCloud.
    If Contacts is turned on for over the air syncing, turn it off. A warning message and prompt will be provided asking about what to do with the previously synced contacts with iCloud. Select Delete from iPhone. After all contacts are deleted from your iPhone, turn Contacts back on for over the air syncing. After all contacts are downloaded, confirm the contacts on your iPhone match your online contacts with iCloud.
    If so, repeat this with your iPad.

    When trying to open iphoto I get the error message "You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete." How do I fix this and get my photo's back?

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

    While installing itunes i am getting error "this installation package could not be opened.verify that the package exists and that you can access it,or contact the appliacation vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package"

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

    Just to be clear - I just bought a new song and can't download it into the library because of this error message.

    What version of iPhoto do you have on the Macbook and on the iMac? What systems are you running on the Macbook and on the iMac?
    Does the message only refer to "a problem" or does it specify what it is?
