I'm trying to watch a movie and it shows that running but I have no picture

I can see the bar at the top of the screen running but the picture is black. Itunes is set as my default media player. I can't figure out whats wrong? Can anyone help me? I'm trying to view on a Dell P.C., Thanks!

Quit iTunes (from the menu). Do you have that movie on the Mac? Of yes, option-click choose "open with" and open with Quicktime, when it does not play, download VLC (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html) , install it and do the "open with" with VLC. If it does not play, the movie is corrupted.

How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.

Trying to watch a movie and tv series which we rented but have a message 'not available on us store' - is this a setting problem? Very frustrated with new Apple TV after having it only 3 weeks!

Please help - I need advice on how to watch a movie and TV series we rented

Thank you. Have given it a try - it sort of works, although doesn't turn up very loud!

Trying to watch a movie on the television that I have downloaded on the computer

trying to watch a movie on the television that I have downloaded on the computer ~ cannot get it to transfer

There is nothing to transfer.
Simply select the movie under the Computers option on the ATV.

HT201303 I have rented 2 movies the past 9 days and they won't transfer to my iPad - error message says that they cannot be played on my iPad. I haven't watched either movie and this is the first time I have ever had this happen.

I have rented 2 movies the past 9 days and they won't transfer to my iPad (first generation). Get the same error message that says they cannot be played on my iPad. I haven't watched either movie and this is the first time I have ever had this happen after several successful movie rentals and transfers.

When you have a query please post the feed URL rather than its contents. For the record, yours is at

I don't have an iPad to test this, so I can only refer you to Apple's Podcast Tech Specs page:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#formattingvideo
This says that the maximum video size for an iPad is 1024x768 - your latest episode is 1280x720.
Slightly confusingly, it also says
'iPad & Apple TV can play the following video formats:
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format'
which suggests that mp4 files are even more limited.
Incidentally your feed gives this URL for the media file:
http://www.honywoodschool.com/user/59/133934.mp4
However when downloaded this produces a file called 'howtosetupappeid.mp4' so soe sort of redirect appears to be in place, and these can sometimes cause trouble. It's better to link directly to the file - it's possible that the iPad doesn't handle the redirect.
That's all I can suggest: if it still doesn't cover the problem I can only refer you to the iPad forum where someone may be able to actually try your podcast and offer a comment.

How do I delete items (movies and TV Shows) that are on my iPad that I have moved back to the cloud permanently from the cloud?

Anyone out there who can help me permantly delete movies and TV Shows from my iCloud that I moved to the Cloud from my iPad Air to the Cloud?

You can't delete them from iCloud because they aren't stored in your personal account (and don't use any of your storage). You are only seeing download links so they can be redownloaded from the iTunes store. You can't delete anything from this list of previously purchased media, but if you don't want to see them on your device you can hide them in iTunes on your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919. After hiding them, you won't see them on your device unless you unhide them again.

I tried to download Adobe Reader and it said that I did not have sufficient privledge

Hi- I just tried to download Adobe rEader and it said that the download was unsuccessful as I did nto have sufficient priviledge.

Download the full installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and save it to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.
You must either login to an Adminstrator account to run the installer, or right-click on the downloaded installer and select 'Run as Administrator'.

HT1498 i watched a movie tonight. then i tried to watch another movie and apple tv said i needed to verify my payment information. 20 minutes later, i'm still trying to figure out how to verify my payment information. so my question to you is ***?

How do I verify payment information?
Why would apple need me to verify payment information when I just watched a movie?
Result of the inefficient process of apple tv
I have to go to amazon aka the empire, to watch a a movie.
right now, in this moment of 2014, i miss video stores, after all this ****, I could have gone out and picked up the movie.
blurg.

Okay, so istumbler says my connection goes to yellow when I go to the Aple TV location, but my internet speed is greatly increased tonight (20Mbps on speedtest.net near the router and 15.49Mbps at the Apple TV). Upload is unchanged at a little under 1Mbps). I did manage to get the Apple Contact location and I am sure they will post a credit for the movie (since their logs will show repeated attepts to download and no joy, although we both know they won't go to the trouble to look at them). As far as I'm concerned, it was a one-time problem and until it happens again to me, I will remain convinced it was on their end of the connection or in between (although that was unlikely). I've been administering and managing netowrks for over 20 years and am pretty confident that the connection on my end was working.

Rented a movie and it shows that I can view if, but it didnt fully download

I rented a movie, it says it downloaded and when I went to view it, it wasnt fully downloaded. How can i get it to finish downloading?

Perform a "reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
Then test to see if it solved the problem.

Im accustomed to watching movies and tv shows on my laptop but now have an HP Tablet using Firefox. How do I watch my show now (ie, Netflix, Amazon, HULU, etc)?? n

Is someone available to walk me through how I can watch my movies and TV show on my HP Tablet (like I used to do on my laptop via Netflix, Amazon, HULU, etc (with Firefox installed)?
Thanks,
Kevin McCormack (Email and phone number removed by mod)

Unfortunately, there is no Firefox for WebOS. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/will-firefox-work-my-mobile-device https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/will-firefox-work-my-mobile-device]. there is a community version from [http://www.fractalbrew.com/labs/prefox/ http://www.fractalbrew.com/labs/prefox/], but I don't know if it will work, or how well it will work.

Can't Find Movies and TV Shows From iCloud in 11.1.1

Before the recent update to iTunes 11.1.1 I had undownloaded the movies and tv shows that I purchased in iTunes on my account, under the premises that I could retrieve them via iCloud (I tried this and it worked). After the update to 11.1.1 iTunes no longer shows any of the movies or TV Shows that I had purchased and and it shows the value of the movie/tv show when I go to the itunes store in an attempt to redownload those that were purchased. My account details show my past purchases and the movies and tv shows are there, but the ghost files that were supposed to represent the movies and tv shows I undownloaded are not there. Maybe I am not finding where they are, but I would like to be able to view/download them so I can put them on my iPod.
I also recently bought a new iPod and it has all of the movies and tv shows that I purchased available on it, but not downloaded to it (I can watch them from my iPod). Can someone explain to me how this works and why my purchases are not showing up in my iTunes library on my Macbook Pro? I am logged in on the account that I purchased everything with.

iTunes prefs > Store.
Tick Show iTunes in the cloud Purchases.

Backing up movie and tv shows I purchased

I know that I can burn songs that I download from Itunes to cd, but what about movies and tv shows that I buy? Can those be burned to dvd for back up, in case of computer crashing and such?

When backing up videos from itunes, it has to be burned as a data file.
You cannot put the tv shows or movies onto a dvd so they can be played in a dvd player.
Also, burning as a data file takes less space so you can put more files on a disk.
The best way to do this is to create a playlist to add your movies or tv shows to.
Then you can burn the playlist to a cd or dvd.
Hope this helps.

HT1657 I rented a movie on Itunes last night and I watched half of it before falling asleep. Today I tried to open the movie and watch the last half but I cannot find it. It has been less than 24 hours since I rented it. Where can I find the movie?

I found my answer in another Thread and it worked... so for anyone who needs it, here it is:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19134562#19134562
Had the same problem and spoke with Apple Support. They had me reset the System Management Controller:
Shut down the computer. With the computer off, on the left hand side of the keyboard press shift+control+option along with the power button simultaneously and release. Wait 5-10 seconds and restart the computer.
This solved my problem and I was immediately able to purchase, download, and play an HD movie from iTunes w/o any error message.
