Itunes 11.1.5 dhcp error - internal display, macbook pro

Hello all. I have just updated iTunes from version 11.1.13  to version 11.1.5 running on OSX 10.8.5 on an early 2011 Macbook pro. Prior to update, all videos, movies and other DRM material played properly (in HD) without issue. After the update, the client receives the dreaded HDCP error message, and refuses to play any previously purchased videos/movies in HD, or alternately, attempts playback with garbled pink pixelated video and sound for 2-3 seconds, and then throws the HDCP dialog. SMC resets do not solve the problem, and even downgrading to version 11.1.02 by full removal of iTunes and all support files and clean install of 11.1.02 does not work.
Has anyone else here encountered this rather bizarre behavior, and is there a workaround I can recommend? I would really appreciate any expert advice as this is the first time I have encountered this apparent bug, and there does not seem to be a functional fix described anywhere on the 'ol interwebs.

Hello,
I have 2 latest model mac minis, and I have gotten this error message whether running mountain lion or mavericks.  After endless frustration, and tech support stumped, unfortunately, the only thing I find that helps is after restarting the mac, just view your videos with quicktime.  I have found itunes to be riddled with errors, and only use it with syncing my mobile devices.  With a HUGE library of HD movies and shows ripped from BD's, housed on our 22 TB movie library, we have had the most success just using itunes as a "permission" to view our friendly "Your Apple Only" protected materials, and sourcing the rest of our library elsewhere and just using quicktime to view.  It doesnt fix iTunes, but that is impossible. Itunes is trying to be too many different types
Of applications.  Good luck.

  • How do I transfer my iTunes library from my old computer to my MacBook Pro?

    How do I transfer my iTunes library from my old computer to my MacBook Pro?

    Just copy the entire Music folder from the old Mac to the new Mac, then click on the folder and Get Info and change the permisisons and click the spoke to "apply to enclosed items"
    Ideally it's best to use the same user name on the new machine, this way all your iTunes playlists work and there is no need to change permissions.
    You can create the same named user by creating another account in System Preferences >accounts
    If the old computer is a PC then just copy the old Music folder to the Mac onto the desktop, then use iTunes to import the music files.
    If the old comptuer is dead, then you can extract the hard drive(if it's still working) and use a IDE/SATA to USB adapter cable to access the internal drive.
    Mac's should be able to read NTFS format of PC's, just not write to it. But if it's not working there is software to install to allow the Mac to read that NTFS drive format, just search online.

  • How should I copy my iTunes Music folder from my iMac to my Macbook Pro

    I have copied the iTunes music folder from my iMac to my Macbook Pro using firewire and target disk mode. After all the files (for files read each individual song) have been copied I find that not all songs can be played. For those which will not play I get he error message "The song "bla bla" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" When I answer "locate" on this popup I'm taken to a view of finder. If I double click on the song there, the song will play on iTunes. Seems to be something to do with the structure of the folders but in get info I cannot see a difference between songs encountering this problem and those which don't.

    Instead of copying only the _iTunes music folder_, copy the entire *iTunes folder.*
    That's all you need to do.

  • I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the Component and Audio ports on my TV?

    I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.

    Will not work.  To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported.  The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

  • My brand new 13 inch retina display macbook pro won't turn on!?

    Hello all,
    I purchased a 13inch retina display macbook pro from an apple store at around 4pm today and at about 10pm (after I have been doing nothing more than downloading software and surfing the internet off of the power adapter) it randomly shut off as I was reading from my pdf math text book. I assumed it had died so I plugged it in and tried to turn it back on it turned right back on and went to the login screen. I barely had enough time to look and see that my laptop was at 40% power and charging before it shut off again and refused to turn back on. It does not respond in any way to the power button (visual or fans whirring etc.) and I currently have it charging up on my bed. It acknowledges the charger (going from a brief green light to the amber) and I have tried resetting the SMC multiple times by now. When I do so the light turns green for a moment and then returns to amber.
    I am beyond furious, school starts tomorrow and I was really hoping my first personal laptop and first mac would come through for me. I hope someone out there can help and restore my faith.
    Cheers,
    Danny

    I Have this issue as weLl. I have used my notebook for last 6 months and don't want yo lose the data. I have done SMC reset and it won't make a difference. the notebook has turned into a brick with no signs of turningon, boot, fans etc.   what can I do  other than take it to apple store?   Is there any way to reset battery externally? Definitely not happy with experience.

  • Can I sync the same iTunes library on both my iMac and my MacBook Pro?

    Can I sync the same iTunes library on both my iMac and my MacBook Pro?  I've been connecting my iPhone to each and it's causing problems for me with them being different, despite my purchases always being under the same Apple ID.

    The easy way to do this is to keep the library on an external drive which you can plug into either computer.  Of course this isn't always the desirable solution.  You can try routinely copying the library from computer to computer though this gets tiresome. 
    Of possible relevance:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202 - You can manage your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers as long as you have set the device to "Manually manage music."  -  e.g. adding music from a second computer to an i-device.

  • Magsafe 2 for retina display macbook pro

    I've had two different MacBook Pro's since 2006...  I went through 4 magsafe power adapters as the cable coming straight off the connector always began to permanently bend at the magsafe connection point such that I didn't trust it from an electrical safety point of view (after seeing one arc at that point a time or two).  Then when I bought what would be my 5th power adapter, much to my positive surprise, Apple had done a redesign that had the cable coming out at a right angle with repect to the way the older ones had the cable come out...  They also beefed up how the cable comes out of the magsafe end. 
    Now I see a picture of the 85W power adapter for the new Retina display macbook pro I am planning to buy soon...  And it looks like they've reverted to the old "wire straight out from the connector" approach... 
    Is that true???   That would be a significant step backward for me as where I have to plug in my mac (to the right of where I sit) having a straight cable coming out from the left of the mac is just going to cause me to start wasting power adapters again... 
    Might I be able to continue to use the 85W power adapter I currently have on my 17 inch 2009 macbook pro???  And it's not the original power adapter but one I bought maybe in 2011 or so...  I love this one where the cable leaves in the direction heading out away from the top of the mac rather than the ones that came out straight to the left...  And the picture of the new one appears to come out straight to the left again...
    And what do you even call the power adapter I have that I bought in about 2011 where the cable comes out at a right angle to the magsafe connector itself???
    Any help folks can provide on the questions above would be much appreciated...  thanks...  bob...

    Ahhh, remember the Mac Pro from a few years ago that used a refrigerant?
    And a number of years ago the Cray XMP and YMP had all of the cpus immersed in refrigerants because they ran so hot they were melting the solder and chips.  Those were something to run on...unbelievable speed, well for that point in time.
    I used to have a watch that had more computing power than the IBM 1620 I first learned to program on.

  • Is there a MagSafe 2 compatible portable external power source for the retina display MacBook Pro?

    I’m using a retina display MacBook Pro with the MagSafe 2 connection.   I would like to have a portable external power source to extend the use of my laptop on long field trips where I am away from power sources. Swapping batteries is not an option for this generation of MacBook Pros.  There seem to be many options for PC’s and even iPhones/iPads/iPods but the MagSafe 2 connection seems to be the issue.  I saw one link that suggested buying an Apple MagSafe 2 power adapter and performing surgery on the power cord (using components provided by the vendor) so that the adapter would run on their back up battery.  I was hoping for a more esthetically pleasing solution. Any suggestions?  Does this product exist and I just missed it? Clearly, if a MagSafe(1) compatible external battery existed I could adapt that using the MagSafe to MagSafe 2 converter.

    Sparon,
    I wouldn’t recommend using an underpowered AC adapter with your MacBook Pro. It sounds as though the best solution would be to get a different laptop bag with a sufficiently large side pocket.

  • Retina Display MacBook Pro eye problem and strain

    Hi, the name is Ben
    Recently, I boought a retina display and have since been having noticeable eye problem.
    (strain, fatigue, oversensativity to computer monitor/screen ligthing)
    My question was, has anyone been experiencing the same.
    I use my computer pretty much all day, since my work/studies are all based on it.
    Still, after 2 weeks of using retina display macbook pro, I have rapidely seen my eyes
    starting to hurt, being oversensitive to computer monitor (not that I can't use any, but am
    very sensitive to any lighting and need particular moderation in usage)
    Now true, there ARE many good habits I did not know of before,(see some examples below)
    that I am trying to adopt but still (reducing only in part the problem), I must say I am rather worried,
    since I have never had any similar problem in 5 yearsof using my previous 13", macbook, mid 2007.
    Any commments, or suggestion  (constructive of course) would be welcome.
    (few examples of of good habits  I have tried so far)
    as regularly standing (/30 min),
    look at something far away for 20 second (/20 min), blinking regularly, closing eyes for a moment,
    adjusting lighting in work environnement, buying an antiglare film or device (nushield) , adjusting screen position,
    not working to close to screen, using bigger fonts

    an hour on my MBP by itself (someone else's office, a hotel room, an airplane, my lazy sofa) and my eyes lose the ability to focus --and I'm toast.
    Ok, I'll explain why.
    First off your iPad and iPhone screen is smaller, thus doesn't reflect as much as a larger display will.
    Your other displays are in a static environment where you have reduced the glare or it's been reduced just by chance.
    When you take the glossy screen laptop to another location without adequate environmental features to reduce glare imposed (no overhead lights, closed windows, low light etc.) on the screen, thus your getting eyestrain from the glare.
    It's caused by the slightly out of focus reflections verses the screen image, your eyes are automatically refocusing between the two images.
    Your solution in this matter is to apply a anti-glare film to the laptops glossy screen, unfortunately it's going to cost money and be replaced often as it gets dirty, dries out and peels at edges etc.
    Ideally a anti-glare matte screen would be the choice in the first place. I use my Mac for 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and don't have the eyestrain problem anymore.

  • Can I connect my thunderbolt display's power cable to supply power to the new retina display macbook pro?

    I'm planning to buy a new retina display macbook pro, but I have a thunderbolt display and I use the display's power cable to supply the power to a macbook air. As the power connector on the new macbook pro is differet, It looks to me that I won't be able to connect it to the new computer. I'm I correct?

    You'll just need this adapter, which you can buy or order with the computer:
