IMovie Will Not Play/Add Authorized iTunes Purchases
Hi all,
I'm having an issue with iMovie regarding adding music to my project. iMovie will not add any music that I have purchased through iTunes.
Briefly, the background: I just bought a new MacBook Pro the other day, and transferred all my iTunes music from my iMac via FireWire yesterday.
Today I'm working on a movie of a vacation I just took, and wanted to add a file from iTunes. When I went to do that, it said I'm not authorized to play it on this computer. So I went into iTunes & authorized my computer; it said that I was successful, and I have authorized a total of 2 out of 5 machines.
I even restarted my computer & rebooted iMovie, but it still says I'm not authorized to play this content on this computer, even though iTunes is still saying that it is now authorized. Somehow they're not communicating with each other or something.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks,
~Scott
UPDATE: Actually I jumped the gun... I tried playing the file I want to add to iMovie in iTunes, and it keeps bugging me to authorize the computer to play it; so I put in my username/password, and the thing says "OK, you're authorized now, this is 2 machines out of 5 that are authorized," but then I try playing it again in iTunes, and it starts over saying I'm not authorized to play it on this computer. Soooooooo aggravating!! Any pointers PLEASE?? Thanks!

Ive been having this problem ever since i upgraded to ios 7. I went to put new music on my iphone, and i synced my phone went to listen to my music and it either has a cloud next to it, a red square, or is there but clear and will not play. Seems that purchases from itunes are the only music that actually work. When i put my phone on shuffle, it continues to shuffle through my music until it finds a song that will actually play, which ends up being one of the purchased songs. I have a total of about 1300 songs, about 600 purchases and the rest just dont work. Please help me find what is wrong with this because it has been weeks and im going insane and really debating on switching over to a different phone brand like the new blackberry or s4, im done with apples ****.
Update - I found the iphoto cache deleted it. This did not work.... it still cannot find the photos. I then placed all the photos on my desktop and synced my phone to the folder. It found ALL the pictures on my desktop folder. I would still prefer to find a fix, so I can sync my photos to iPhoto....

My computer is authorized, but will not play a song I just purchased. It says this computer need to be authorized. So, I type in my user name and ID, and it replies this computer is already authorized.
Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.

Movies will not play in latest iTunes update
The subject sums it up. Since updating to 10.7.0.21, my movies will no longer play and trying to do so causes iTunes to stop responding and consequently needing killed in Windows Task Manager.
I have read similar threads that link to a process of disabling software processess in Quicktime, but I do not have Quicktime installed, nor have I in the past and the movies still played within iTunes.
I have tried repairing iTunes and the result is the same.
I have also tried unistalling and reinstalling iTunes and the movies still will not play.
I have tried playing all of the movies in the library to ensure it was not an issue with a particular file and none will play.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
meI have the same issue. I have Windows 7 64 with the latest iTunes version 10.7.0.27 up until the latest update all was good. I now can't play any video from iTunes be it a pod cast, iPhone video or a movie. As soon as you try playing the video, iTunes comes up with a message saying iTunes has stopped responding and will restart.
I have tried the QuickTime fix of disabling Direct3D video acceleration and this doesn't work. Have deinstalled QuickTime altogether and I still get the same issue. Have deinstalled all Apple products from my PC as per the various online instructions and then done a full reinstall. Still not working.
Any other suggestions as not being able to play videos from iTunes is very annoying. Either that or I hope Apple release a fix for this... -
I have duplicate songs in itune library. Both songs will play, but if I delete a one of them the other will not play. The message given in itunes is cannot locate the file, and neither can I. Any suggestions?
I figured this out - this might be of great help to some people who have the same problem. I do not know how, but somehow my external hard drive got renamed to a different drive letter, from E to F. That's why itunes wasn't recognizing my songs, because there was a new file path name. Here's a microsoft XP tutorial on how to change drive letters if this happens to you:

Clips imported into iMovie will not play: Please Help!
I have been working on a project in iMovie for awhile now and I have a few different clips imported into it. I have not had a problem with it before yesterday. I went to import another clip and for some reason I got error message "-43" that said it could not copy the files into iMovie. Then today when I opened iMovie to try again, all the clips that had been imported already were grayed out and a little yellow warning sign was in the bottom left hand corner of each clip display (yellow triangle with ! in the middle). They would not play.
It is not the clips though- they work fine when I open them in quicktime and iPhoto.
I don't know if this is ay significance, but this morning before the clips stopped working iMovie made new thumbnails- could this be any reason why it isn't working?
Can anyone help with this problem? I don't know what happened!

I have many songs in my itunes library that were purchased by me that did not convert to my new email address when I moved. How can I get them to play?
You have to use the same old Apple ID and password.
NOTE: All content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID. -

My music will not play on my itunes
I have purchased music on iTunes and it shows up on my phone, but when I try to play a song it just changes the screen back to the home screen
An exclamation mark means that it doesn't know where you moved the music to. To fix this, click on the exclamation point and when it asks you to browse to the location where you moved it to, use the normal commands to go up and down folders in your external drive until you find the song. Repeat as necessary.

Videos will not play on my iTunes but WILL play on iPod!! Help!
When I want to view a tv show or any video that is in my itunes library, I can only hear the sound, but not see the video. All I see is a black screen, and I don't know how to fix this. I can see the same video on my ipod, though.
I remember this happened to me before but it went away within a day, but this time it is not going away.
Please help.Try converting the files with Videora....

Having trouble converting iMovieHD to the new updated iMovie dowloaded with Mountain Lion. Any ideas
Given the extreme limitations outlined in the article Allen linked to, and given thst iMovie HD 6 is known to work with Mountain Lion, you might be better served by installing iMovie 6 on your Mac.
You can still keep iMovie 11 as well:
Happily this is easily achieved, but it has to be done backwards.
Delete iMovie 11 (just drag it to the trash). Now install iMovie 6 from the iLife 6 install disks. Update it to iMovie 6.0.3.
Now re-install iMovie 11. This automatically moves iMovie 6 into a folder it creates in your Applications folder called iMovie Previous Version.
Then reinstall iMovie 11.
iMovie 6 works great with iDVD 7.
Now you have them both, and you can have both in the Dock as well. -
