I have downloaded a movie on I tunes and burned it to disc. But it does not play on my DVD player. What am I doing wrong?

As I put above I bought a movie from I Tunes but when I burned it to a DVD it will not paly on a regular 2007 model DVD player. Can anyone advise if I am doing something wrong?

Movies purchased from the iTunes Store are normally protected by Apple's 'FairPlay' DRM. As such you cannot burn them in a useable form on to a disc.

I purchased this to make DVD's and now I can not do that!!

This is a known issue. It really comes down to two key factors - what type of DVD are you burning to + what type of DVD player you have.
This article will help. It's lengthy and can be technical in some parts but should shed some light on your problem.

You can't. Movies are sold on a one-time only download. You would have been reminded to back them up at the time of purchase, unless you had previously opted to supress such reminders.

Your post somehow found its way to a little-viewed forum for an obsolete Apple productivity program. I have asked the Hosts to move you to a more active and appropriate forum for your product.

Dear Sir/Mam,
I am writing you because of facing a problem in my ipod. I have downloaded wechat a month a go and then deleted later on, but last night I needed wechat again so i try to download it but the very astonishing problem occurs in downloading that. In apple store when i search wechat there is written open on it right side instead of free or install. I become so much astonished that if i don't have wechat in my ipod apps then how it become written open on it....?????? i just tap that open but its nor opening neither downloading.....
I am so much worried about that problem because i need wechat badly....
Please help me as soon as possible....

If you are getting the 'open' option on the Purchased tab in the App Store app then that implies that you still have the app installed - you've checked all of your iPod's homescreens and app folders for it, and tried searching for it via its spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right) ? Do any of those find it, or if you tap on the 'open' button does that open the app ?

I have a iMac - when I burn dvd of my home movies it does not play on other dvd players

When i burn a dvd on my imac - it does not play on other dvd players

Buy iDVD on Disk.
Yes, there are other programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, DVD Creator, Wondershare, and others. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie.
http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/idvd.html
With iDVD you can easily and quickly create DVDs with menus and graphics almost on the level of what Hollywood can do.
IDVD is easy to get. It is available on disk as part of iLife 11.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40. (works with all Mac OS 10.5 and newer.)

I have a MAC and when i look things up it keeps asking me to install latest adobe flash [layer. I complete installation but it still does not allow me to view. What am I doing wrong?

I have a desktop computer- MAC. When I am looking for information or pulling up games for my grandkids, it will say I need to download the latest version of dobe Flash Player to view. I have downloaded this numerous times yet it still does not allow me to view. What am I doing wrong?

Could be the OS X version is too old for the later recommended Flash player version.
So this is where knowing what your computer really is, and the exact OS X version running in it. There is a hardware limit to upgrading the OS X in a PowerPC Mac with a ceiling of OS X 10.5.8 at the latest. This also limits the upgrade to a later version Adobe Flash player.
If the computer is not an older PPC-based Mac, and instead has an Intel core-duo or core2duo, an upgrade to OS X 10.6.8 is possible through purchase of the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD and after installation, run Software Update to get the 10.6.8 Combo update v1.1 for Snow Leopard. This will not work on a PowerPC based Mac.
Should the computer be able to run a later OS X, a newer Player could be installed.
If the ceiling as suggested above be the case, and the workaround possible.
The question posed by Klaus is a minimal request for basic info.
Good luck

NOt an iPhoto issue - either a bad CD or a bad Superdrive on your computer - no way for us to tell try the CD in a different computer

I downloaded a movie with Quicktime 7 Pro onto a DVD, but it won't play in my DVD player.

I downloaded a movie from the internet using Quicktime 7 Pro. I put it on a DVD so that I could watch it on my television. The disc isn't recognized and won't play on my DVD player. What can I do to get it to play?

In addition to what Gary listed - VisualHub (direct download). If you have issues with the direct download, you can obtain VisualHub directly from this site - http://www.wyodor.net/MoreEmbed/embedmedia.html

Hi there Graham!
I have a couple of articles that can help you troubleshoot this issue. First, if you are downloading HD content, you will need to know the system requirements for HD playback, which can be found here:
iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3209
Next, you will want to check your video playback settings on your Windows machine. The steps for that can be found right here:
Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues

Hope that helps. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

HT201272 I just downloaded a movie on I-tunes and can't find it to watch it. It does not show up in my "purchased" or "download" screens

How do I locate a movie that I rented and downloaded through ITunes? It does not show up in my purchased or downloads screens.

Have you looked in your video app.

Every time I open a new tab I am sent to the Ad-aware Secure Serch page. I have downloaded the New Tab add-on and the NewTabURS add-on but neither of them work.

Every new tab opens to the Ad-aware SecureSearch page. When a new tab was opened I used to get a page with my most used sites. I have tried to find and remove this program but nothing I have used will find it. I have downloaded some add-ons to change what occurs when a new tab is open but none of these will replace the Ad-aware search page. Can you tell me how to get rid of this. this is the address of the new tab page now:
