I got an alert saying "Requires HDCP for playback. HDCP is not supported by your HDMI connection

The same problem here. It's been great to stream TV direct from my Ipad to my 46" and even streaming movies from my Imac. Everything was top notch! But suddenly nothing works. I get to see maybe about 3 sec and then it stops telling me that "The content needs HDCP". But it worked since i bought it in June until now. Really tried eveything with chaningig inputs, chaning output res, cables, update my router. Still nothing... But when i plug it in a smaller and a cheap LCD 22" from LG it seems to work??? Why did it suddenly crash on my big tv that supports hdcp, and it obviously worked for 4 months?? :-(

I have just rented a film through my Apple TV (2) which I cannot play. The screen says "HDCP is not supported by your HDMI connection." What am I supposed to do about this? Thanks in anticipation.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
HDCP is copy protection built into iTunes video content, the Apple TV requires all devices to be HDCP compatible before it will send HDCP content to them. In simplistic terms the Apple TV asks the TV if the signal it will send can be recorded, if it gets the right answer it will send the signal, if it doesn't receive a reply it won't.
Your problem may be one of unsupported equipment or may simply be an error. You could start by checking if your TV is HDCP compliant. If it is the problem might be cabling or another device (such as a receiver) between the Apple TV and TV, it may also just be a glitch which might be resolved by a simple restart.

HDCP is not supported by my HDMI connection

I just purchased a movie from the iTunes store to watch on my AppleTV. When I tried to watch the move, I got an alert saying "Requires HDCP for playback. HDCP is not supported by your HDMI connection. Use the component video connection to watch the content."
What does "Use the component video connection to watch content mean."? I have a lot of wires connecting the various video components connected to my TV that only the Best Buy Geek squad has dealt with, so even if I new what component video connection the alert is referring to I doubt if I can easily connect it.
Should I try to get my money back from Apple's iTunes store or is there a simple way to set things up to watch this movie?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Yesterday my Apple TV worked fine with my Infocus Projector connected by HDMI via DVI converter. Today I can not play any content. I have tried everything. I have the current version of software 2.1. This very unsatisfactory how can it work one day and not the next. I have read some of the comments on this but there does not seem to be any fix. Any suggestions please.

This content requires HDCP for playback, HDCP isn't supported?

This content requires HDCP for playback, HDCP isn't supported by your HDMI connection. This content requires HDCP for playback. What the! What is this all about? It appears that no one knows how to fix this. Have I wasted my money here?

I am assuming you are connecting your iPad via the Digital AV connector to a TV. If so, it sounds like the TV does not provide HDCP. Is this the case?

Intermittent "HDCP isn't supported by your HDMI connection" message

I downloaded a movie with the new Apple TV 2.0, and every once in a while, the screen will go black with a message stating that "HDCP isn't supported by your HDMI connection. This content requires HDCP for playback. Use the component video connection to watch this content.". Not only is this not the case, but it happens very happenstance.
Is this happening to anyone else? If not, does anyone have any ideas as to why, or better yet, to solve it?
On another note- the fact that you can use the Apple TV for AirTunes now, freaking rocks.

I found this on Denon site:
http://ca.denon.com/2082.asp
Unfortunately, it basically says that it is not the receiver's fault (what a surprise!)
Quote:
"This is not a fault of the receiver. Recently set top box manufacturers have become aware of this issue. It has been found that the U-code information appears to be the problem which is part of Annex A of the repeater conformity specifications of the HDMI protocol. Some set top receiver manufacturers have already implemented firmware changes to their units while others are in the process of updating their units. If a set top receiver being used is having problems passing HDMI video signal through an A/V receiver, contact the manufacturer of the set top receiver to see if an update is available."
So I'm taking this to mean that my receiver is very picky about the HDMI protocol, and the ATV isn't quite conforming to it. Maybe other brands of receivers are passing the signal?
I suspect I probably won't have much choice for now but to either connect the ATV to the Denon using component cables and an optical cable for 5.1, or use HMDI directly to the TV for video and an optical cable for 5.1 audio.

I keep getting this message when trying to watch TV or filmsThis content requires Adobe Flash Player, which is not supported by your device

I keep getting this message when trying to watch TV or films
This content requires Adobe Flash Player, which is not supported by your device
Is there an app that will play this. I can't find one....

Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news and media sites, have their own apps in the App Store.
If you do a search on this forum you will find hundreds of other threads on the subject.

I cannot play rented movies from i tunes and netflix theres always a plug on my tv screen "This content requires HDCP for playback." HDCP isn't support by your HDMI connection.

I rented twice already in my ITUNE movies but can't watch thru Apple TV just of this issue" This content requires HDCP for playback.
Pls response to this issue.

unplug tele power lead for 10 seconds, then try again. Worked for me.

This content requires hdcp for playback. so I paid $100 for it and now they stop it from working?

I have an atv 2, my tv uses componet, I have used it to rent and watch movies on it for a year at least but now it says this content requires hdcp for playback. so I paid $100 for it and now they stop it from working?
I also have the first atv, I get the same message

lol, I had to go look at the back of that, I've been using it so long with componet. I started getting the hdcp message a few months ago on it. been using it for years with componet now I cant. what I meNt on the AT2 is that when I bought it, I was able to use it, rent moves, etc. since I got it using an adaptor because of my tv. It just recently was rendered incapable along with the componet output on the AT1.
My tv is a 65" Hitachi rear projection, with no hdmi. It's old, but still has a great picture

"This content requires HDCP for playback..."

I am trying to play Star Trek HD on my atv but I get a message that states "this content requires HDCP for playback." My TV is HD and the atv is connected with an HDMI cable that I purchased at the Apple Store. I have been able to play HD movies on the atv until now??? I was also able to play Star Trek HD on Tuesday without problems but now...nothing! Perplexing, frustrating, and down right ridiculous! Can someone please help? By the way, a restart of the atv did nothing nor did messing with the HDMI connection in the atv settings....

Generally I'd say either, and would be reluctant to blame either device. However there are more HDMI issues than usual cropping up with the latest software, so I wouldn't rule out that the issue will simply go away with a future software revision, although I still wouldn't feel confident blaming either.
Of course HDMI and HDCP are not the same thing, but it's likely an HDMI issue caused the tv to be unable to reply to the HDCP call from the tv.

I keep getting "This content requires HDCP for playback" with my new Apple TV 3.

I keep getting "This content requires HDCP for playback" with my new Apple TV 3. I've returned one and got a new one. I've turned everything on and off. I've upgraded my bandwith. I've tried using different HDMI ports. Nothing is working.
Sometimes a movie will start to play for about 3-5 seconds and then freeze. My music plays fine as well as other videos that are not HD.
This has been going on for 3 weeks now and Apple Support and Genius Bar couldn't help.
Would appreciate any other solutions folks came up with.
Thanks.

Thanks. I'll try to get a new HDMI cable, but that ****** me off since I bought the one I had from Apple thinking I'd avoid any issues like this.
I've also never had a movie play and have also tried Reset.
Since the movie starts to play for a few seconds, I'm assuming it is not my TV.
Thanks!
Steve

Apple TV not working - content requires HDCP for playback

Hello, I am at home sick and thought I'd watch a movie through my Apple TV, which I haven't used for about a month. Rented one, but when I went to play it got the error message "This content requires HDCP for playback." I have changed nothing since using it last. None of my previously downloaded shows will work either. Have spent the last hour and a half plugging, unplugging, updating software on my TV (while feeling like absolute rubbish) to try and fix it. I do not have a spare HDMI cable but can't believe this is the problem when it has previously been working FINE. I checked about doing an Apple TV software update but it was already on auto update and is up to date. I suspect this might be the problem - it's done some stupid update and wrecked everything. Apple support can't take my call till tomorrow afternoon and I am way too frustrated to be able to wait till then. I'm too sick to go to the shops to buy a cable and don't think I should have to anyway. Can anyone please help me? This is RIDICULOUS! I just want to watch a movie

Thankyou Rudegar... I'll try a new cable but I really don't understand how any of it could've suddenly broken... it hasn't been touched. Very annoying

How can I fix apple tv error "this content requires hdcp for playback"

how can I fix apple tv error "this content requires hdcp for playback" I've done everything suggested in troubleshooting and still my apple tv don't work. I'm thinking on returning it, since it doesn't work.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check that the HDMI cable is correctly seated at both ends.
Try disconnecting the cable and connecting it again.
Try another HDMI cable.
Make sure your TV supports HDCP
Try the Apple TV with another TV

Problem: "This content requires HDCP for playback"??

I own the new Apple Tv, just today I keep seeing this message (Again!!) "This content requires HDCP for playback". What I don't understand is that I have been able to watch Movies on Apple Tv before, why not now? I haven't changed the cables at all. This has happened before but the new update has (i though) fixed that problem.
Im not to sure what to do now.

AFAIK not all content contains HDCP.
HDCP errors can also be caused by faulty cabling or software issues between devices. You could try pulling the HDMI cable and restarting both the Apple tv and TV.

This content requires HDCP for playback problem! Apple TV2

Owned Apple TV for two weeks. Two weeks ago, everything was fine for films already in my iTunes library.
This week, when selecting play on a movie, I get the message 'This content requires HDCP for playback problem' inconsistently. Some vids work, some don't. Then they do then they don't! I have tried on a Samsung TV and a Sony Bravia? Same for both!
How do I resolve this. I have tried different HDMI ports, turned Apple TV 2 off and on. Tried different cables (Although my HDMI cable is the one I purchased from Apple).
Any suggestions? Is it something Apple need to fix? This is kinda embarrassing when I tell friends how good Apple TV is, get them round to watch a movie and inconsistently get this.
Many Thanks for any help
Dave.

I too sadly have this handshaking issue. I'm in Phoenix, AZ. Day one buyer for ATV2. Worked all of about two days in terms of streaming HD content from either my MAC or netflix. About the third time i tried to stream HD content from Netflix or Blu Ray digital copies from my Mac, I get the HDCP compliance message stating my display is not authorized.
I have tried every concievable combination of unplugging and rebooting of TV (Samsung 2005 DLP), ATV2, and HDMI switcher (Monoprice) and nothing will work. My DirecTV HD-DVR works like a charm. If I rent an HD pay per view from DirecTV, no problem. If I rent an HD movie on iTunes, won't display it due to the HDCP issue. I've NOT ONCE had an issue with my DirecTV HDDVR having an HDCP compliance issue and of course its connected to my TV via HDMI thru my monoprice HDMI four port switch.
I guess the only other thing I could try is exchanging the unit itself. But everything else works as advertised. It feels like this is just a software issue that needs to be patched, and fast.

I got an alert saying "Requires HDCP for playback. HDCP is not supported by your HDMI connection
