ITunes HD movies intermittently play on my laptop display, giving the HDCP error

Hello,
I purchased the HD version of 21 Jump Street, which played as soon as it downloaded. However, it now refuses to play in HD on my laptop, giving the HDCP error, yet my laptop is not connected to any external devices. iTunes version 11.0.1.12  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Reply to myself.....
I found that Amazon have addressed this issue as they state with regards to non-HDCP issues........
If you've purchased HD content, but your device, connectors, or setup don't meet content protection requirements, we'll deliver that video in Standard Definition (SD) and let you know you're receiving the SD version instead of the HD version.
Pity Apple couldn't do what Amazon do!!!

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

    hi Alan!
    StarDeb has been handling most of the research on this particular problem. here's my latest information pack, but it's probably out of date by now:

  • Itunes rented movie wont play

    I rented a movie in itunes. It finished downloading and when a press play a message pops up saying "Do you want to start playing the movie Attack the Block? You will have 24 hours to watch this movie." I click play and then a black screen pops up (the itunes video player) and the timer shows at the bottom for the movie, but it won't start playing. I am connected to the internet (I know you need to be so it could start the 24 hours of renting) but nothing happens. When I exit out and click to play the movie again the same message comes up "you have 24 hours..." I have restarted Itunes, restarted my computer, and I have itunes up to date, oh and my computer is authorized. Any suggestions?

    maybe a little late. I had the same problem, went to Window in the tile bar scrolled down to downloads and the hit the reload button next to the movie name... worked a treat.

  • ITunes Store Movie Purchase Play Immediately ?

    I bought a movie from the iTunes Store and it said it was going to take about an hour to download. After 10 minutes I tried and could play it in iTunes on my computer but I could not get it to show up on Apple TV until the whole movie had been downloaded. Should I have been able to start watching the movie on Apple TV while it was still downloading ?
    I tried disconnecting from Apple TV, quitting and restarting iTunes, etc. but it would not show up on Apple TV until it was completely downloaded.

    Jeff,
    You're correct. You can play the movie in iTunes while it's downloading, but not in Apple TV. I sure hope the next software release allows for this feature.
    Kind Regards,
    Julian

  • Charged for itunes hd movie cant play

    I was charged for HD movie that cannot play. I didnt download the movie. Instead I re-purched the movie in SD. I Would like a refund. Since. I thought you had to opt. in for HD. Made a mistake

    as you don't have an appletv, why have you posted this in the appletv forum?
    Because I think that movie renting is an important cornerstone of the Apple TV concept. Even though not owning the physical hardware I pretty much feel like being a part of Apple's TV future.
    Chenks wrote:
    your review is only applicable to that particular rental, and not all (they aren't all the same aspect ratio).
    I think it is generally applicable. Even though the source material of course always plays a role in the quality equation, the problems of the pipeline from encoding over decoding to rendering are quite obvious (a lot of it may be due to iTunes for Windows).
    So let's consider a 16:9 aspect. Resolution is 1280x720 then? I don't think that it improves the situation as the same bandwidth is distributed among more pixels then. Problem is bandwidth and not resolution. But I pretty much believe that the bandwidth can be used much more efficiently.

  • Music I have purchased from Itunes will no longer play on my laptop.  When I click on a song to play it, it says the file cannot be found.  Does anybody know what to do?

    Purchased music from I-tunes will no longer play when I hit play.  The message "music file cannot be located" pops up and then takes me to some other file system.  Does anybody know what to do?  I have already tried to make sure that my Itunes player is default and that is not the problem.
    Help!

    You get this message because  iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
    The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
    The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
    The song file has been deleted
    The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
    Do any of these aply to you?

  • Can I see What's Playing on a laptop networked to the main computer?

    My iTunes program, files and music all reside on a 1T drive connected to a MacPro in the office. I generally set up playlists and run music from there, using AirTunes to put the music all around.
    My laptop in the living room is networked to it. Is there a program to show me on the laptop what is playing on the MacPro?
    I know I can connect as a shared library to that iTunes or even mount the drive across the network to the laptop and Opt. open iTunes and find it. But I've seen there are some programs that broadcast what's playing to the net. Does anyone use something like that to broadcast to another computer on their home network? With album artwork?

    Click on the chevron to the left of the iPod icon in the Source list. This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Clicking on Music for instance will give you the traditional song view.
