I can not play a movie downloaded from itunes.  it says not authorized

I have an iBookG4. I purchased a movie from iTunes but my computer says it is not authorized to play it.  I went under iStore an made sure authorization was on.  I still can not play the movie.   I can however play the movie on my iPad.

Did you open with the Videos App?

  • Can't play HD movies purchased from iTunes on Windows 7 without Internet connection

    Purchased (not rented) Wreck-It-Ralph from iTunes and downloaded it to my local drive. I confirmed that the file is, in fact, in a local directory. However, when I pull up the move's details iTunes it states that the file is in iCloud. (Library > Movies > R-click movie icon > Get info > Summary tab > "Where iCloud".) Every time I try to play the movie, either by playing it from iTunes or by going to the file itself and opening it via iTunes, it won't play unless I'm connected to the Internet. And even then, there's still a long pause before playback actually begins. It almost looks like it's trying to buffer it.
    If the movie file is taking up 3gigs of space on my computer (that's authorized to play content from iTunes), I expect to be able to take this video on the road.

    You need to authorize your computer to play your
    husband's songs, by putting in his iTunes account
    info on your computer, (Not your computer's
    password.) meaning his login and password of his
    iTunes account.

    He used my account to purchase the song.
    If you did enter his iTunes account information and
    the song still not playing it could because the
    iTunes store is down for upgrading,

  • Can't play a movie downloaded via iTunes (.m4v) in either XBMC or VLC

    Hi, I hope someone can help with this.
    As a recent iPhone user I have begun to iTunes to manage and purchase my music collection; I also thought this would be a good idea for new films too.
    I have recently downloaded the digital copy of a Bluray (Star Trek; triple play) via itunes and have no problems playing the file in iTunes. However, as I still run a PC and am looking to create an XBMC box, I have since found that I cannot play this digital copy of the film in either XBMC or VLC. Both programs can play .mp4 files, but not the .m4v file that iTunes has let me download.
    Is this DRM management? Have I now limited myself to playing this film only in itunes? - really disappointed if this is the case.
    Any help or input would be greatly recieved.
    Cheers

    Try to get a refund, I'm not sure of the number but you can call 800-APL-CARE to try to get redirected to the right place to get a refund or answer your problem. I don't know anything regarding your issue.

  • Can't watch HD movie downloaded from iTunes, only color lines come up!

    I rented an HD movie from iTunes Store and when I try to watch it only color lines appear. My computer has all requirements to download and watch HD movies.
    Why does this happen? Is there any solution?
    Thank you!

    It's astonishing that this problem still exists. The same occurs with the 1st gen AppleTV.
    Upload a movie from an iPhone 4 (in my case) it will appear on me.com in a browser, show up in an iPhoto sync, but not appear on the AppleTV. And, by the posts above it's still going on for the 2nd gen.
    MobileMe is a PAID service. Is the team that works on MM asleep most of the working day?
    It's so inconsistent. Don't give us the facility to upload from the phone if all the pieces are not in place.
    I only have MobileMe for this reason, getting video and pics to the Apple TV quickly for the kids to see immediately. Heaven knows why I continue to pay now that another part doesn't work.
    Don't get me started on the piece of junk that is iDisk!!

  • How do I play protected movies downloaded from ITunes to Ipad then on TV?

    I recently brought an Apple product: IPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter, and also a High-res S/VGA cable....Thinking i could connect my Ipad to my TV and play the movies I brought from ITunes, but no it says they are protected MEG-4, so they will not play on my TV, WHY??? Wouldn't that be one of the first reasons for buying such a cable, it seems unfathomable to me, I cannot understand, what a waste of money. I get all my movies from ITunes.

    The following says:
    Additional Information
    iTunes Store movies (SD and HD) and TV shows (HD) require an HDCP digital connection. If you attempt to play this content using the iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter, an alert will appear to let you know that an HDCP-compatible device is required. To view iTunes Store content, do one of the following:
    Sync the SD version of the TV show
    Use an Apple Component AV cable to play the HD version at 480p
    Use an Apple Composite AV cable to play the HD version at 480i
    Attempting to play rental content on a device that requires an HDCP digital connection may start the rental timer. Use one of the recommended Apple AV cables to view your rental before the time limit expires.

  • I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes.  Before iOS 8, movies played fine.  After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive.  Anyone else have a similar issue?

    I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes.  Before iOS 8, movies played fine.  After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive.  Anyone else have a similar issue?

    I checked with SanDisk's own online support and they indicate that they have notified Apple of the issue.
    According to SanDisk, the problem lies with Apple not having the iOS 8 version of the Safari browser having DRM decoding enabled that the Media Drive relies upon to decode and play iTunes DRM titles. Non DRM encoded videos will play in the browser.
    DRM audio is not effected as this is handled by the native iOS music app.
    As of the date of this post SanDisk have not been given a timeframe by Apple for this issue to be resolved.
    I hope that Apple resolves this issue quickly as I have a large collection of DRM video titles on a 128Mb memory card installed in the Media Drive that I am unable to view.

    I have a macbook white (Snow leopard), just started using mac, Is there anyway we can use the Iphone Apps( downloaded from ITune) on Mac, they are getting saved in Mobile applications and have ipa extension

    The operating systems for iOS devices and for Macs are completely different. Applications written for iOS won't run on a Mac no matter what fiddles you try with it. You can sometime extract data by opening the package, but it still won't do you any good. Look in the Mac App Store in your Applications folder to see if there are Mac versions or similar programs (iTunes login required).

  • Movies download from itunes, but when download finishes, there is no movie among my video selections--like it either is hiding or was downloaded somewhere else.

    Movies download from itunes, but when download finishes, there is no movie among my video selections--like it either is hiding or was downloaded somewhere else.

    Okay, you need to contact support definitely about what's going on. Here is a form that will send an e-mail into support for you:
    http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    As far as the prices, the difference is likely the laptop version is the SD version and the iPad one is available in HD. That's the only reason you'll see a price difference. It has nothing to do with the device with movies/movie rentals. Apps yes, these no.

  • Can't see movie downloaded from iTunes on iPads

    Hi. I purchased two movies from iTunes via AppleTV, then downloaded them to my iTunes library. I can see and play them on my computer, but they don't show up in the "shared" tab of the Videos app on either of our two iPads. I've tried force-quitting and restarting the Videos app, turning the iPad on and off, and resetting the iPad; I've quit and restarted iTunes on the computer. Nothing has helped.
    All the other movies in the library appear, including others I've purchased and downloaded from iTunes, but not the ones I downloaded today.
    Running OS X 10.8.1, iTunes 10.6.3, and iOS 5.1.1.
    Help?
    Thans.

    Ah. iPad 2 can't play 1080p content. Got it. Sorry for the noise.

  • HT203180 how can I sync a movie downloaded on itunes from my personal computer that is authorized for my daughter's ipad, but the purchased movie was done under my apple id

    To start off, I absolutely do not understand iTunes.  I feel that with every new "upgrade" it becomes more difficult to use.
    We have 3 apple ID's for our home to make syncing easier and not have complications with devices.  I have a window's computer with itunes which is "authorized computer" for all 3 apple ID's in family (mom, dad, child).  We purchased a DVD with digital copy, installed and redeemed the code for the digital copy.  However, it would not allow me to "redeem" on my child's apple ID.  therefore, the digital copy went into my apple id.  Now I can not sync the movie to my child's ipad/apple id.  How can this be done?  Please help!  I know it can't be that hard, or is Apple just making iTunes worse and worse.

    The movie is from iTunes.   You would think that a download from iTunes to a MacBook could be watched on an HDTV using Apple TV without any headaches bit this does not appear to be the case. 

  • Issue playing movies downloaded from iTunes on TV when linked to computer via HDMI cable.

    Recently I purchased the advance digital copy of "Star Trek Into Darkness" as it was it was released just in time for  moving some people into another state; we planned to watch it when we rested for the day.  After hooking my windows 7 laptop up to a Samsung flatscreen TV using an HDMI cable, iTunes refused to play the movie.  It would play when the computer was disconnected from the TV, and the same error would appear when reconnected.  The error stated that I had to be connected to an "HDCP compatible device."
    Is this some way of iTunes forbidding me from watching movies downloaded from their service when connected to an exterior device?  My computer has no issues playing other content, such as netflix, when connected to a TV. 
    For me it's pointless to buy movies now from iTunes; I feel like I've wasted $20.  Why on earth would I want to sit in front of a computer to watch it when there's a TV five times the size available? 

    Hello happylilvampyr,
    Unfortunately, this is due to a lack of HDCP support provided by the TV in use. More information regarding HDCP can be found in the following article.
    iTunes for Windows: Unable to view or play HD video content that requires HDCP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3354
    As an alternative, you can always download the movie in standard definition, which will allow for viewing on non-HDCP devices.
    When you purchase an HD video on a supported device or computer, only HD video will be downloaded. To download the SD version, you need to download the video again from your Purchased page. Conversely, if you purchase an HD video on an unsupported device, the SD version will be downloaded. Then, you will need to download the HD version from your Purchased page.
