ITunes HDCP error on a FULLY COMPLIANT SYSTEM

OK, I've just about had enough of this DRM nonsense.
Everyone who pays has to run around for hours trying to find a way to play the stuff they paid for while those who don't pay just sit down and watch! Great way to do business. Great way to encourage people to actually pay for stuff! Well done!
When will the top studio heads realize it's just making us all LOSE more money than we gain!
My system is 100% HDCP compliant.
I can confirm in the Nvidia control panel that both my graphics card and display are compliant and currently running HDCP fine.
But all of a sudden, last night iTunes refuses to play any of my few iTunes movie downloads (of which thankfully there are few, Blu-ray is so much better and the protection is easy to get around so you can play them back properly as you wish, but for a few titles I grew tired of waiting for the studios to get around to releasing them in a proper HD format, Blu-ray, so I finally caved in and tried a few digital downloads and for the other case I got one as promo (along with the Blu-ray).)
I tried re-booting and re-installing iTunes a few times and once it played for about 10 seconds before quitting and putting up the fake HDCP error message.
I can play back Blu-ray stuff just fine even if I turn off AnyDVDHD. So between that and the control panel saying HDCP is running fine, it's obviously running fine.
So I don't know what extreme levels iTunes is suddenly decided to use to verify HDCP, since everything else runs HDCP protected content just fine.
It's pretty ridiculous how many other complains like this I see around too. Can this really be good for business??
And it's pretty ridiculous that iTunes won't even let me watch a movie that I am in. Heck, I even partly funded a movie for which I'm now getting blocked by iTunes, now how is that for the height of irony! RIDICULOUS! Apple get your act together! This isn't good for your bottom line or anyone connected to the industries bottom line nor to any of the millions of loyal paying customers.

I'm sorry, but I don't think that's the problem...
I have a Mac Pro with an Apple Cinema Display 23', and it worked fine, I could watch all movies, until I upgraded my video card for a new one. My MacPro came with an ATI video card, and I it stopped working. So I had to replace it for new one and I've choose a new nVidia gForce 285. Since then I can't watch any HD movie I downloaded from iTunes Store. In this case the problem is with the video card, that is not recognized as an HDCP device or something related. I'm trying to contact Apple to see what can be done with this problem and I suggest you guys to do the same. Some one must realize that some Apple computers will not have configurations 100% made by Apple.

***iTunes HDCP Error***

I am attempting to purchase two movies in HD. The iTunes Store keeps telling me that I cannot play the content on my computer in HD even though I am running Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium which has the HDCP components installed, and I never had ANY kind of a problem like this in the past. What is going on?

I'm sorry, but I don't think that's the problem...

4s, After Problems with Update to 8.0.2 not possible to load Backup in iTunes. Error is Backuperror or wrong system connected???.

all Fotos gone! Please help

I figure that one "good posting" about how everything went okay on the upgrade should be the equivalent of having HALF-A-MILLION Users post the same thing ... since hardly anyone posts here when everything works okay ... :-) ...

Cant play purchased itunes videos on 5k iMac HDCP error

After a few days of smooth sailing with my brand new 5k retina iMac I tried watching some purchased tv shows on itunes and I get this instead "THE SELECTED VIDEO WILL NOT PLAY ON YOUR DISPLAY This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)". I was able to watch episodes yesterday with no issue. There are no external monitors connected. I'm on my usual secure wireless network. I'm running version 12.1.2.27 of itunes. I have tried restarting the system, and itunes but the issue persists. Access to the file is not the issue as the files do download and start to play anywhere on the timeline but get cut off after 3 seconds or so by the error message. I have not changed the display settings since unboxing and initial setup. The screen is at full resolution just like it was when itunes was playing shows and not giving me this error message.
Any one else got this issue?
Any solutions?

HDCP error with new HDCP compliant monitor

I just bought a new Asus VE228H monitor. I have a ATI Radeon HD 4200, HDCP compliant video card and I am running Windows 7 and iTunes 12.1.1.4. Even though the new monitor is HDCP compliant, I still get an HDCP error in iTunes. I replaced the cable with a new HDMI cable and I still get the error. I have tried searching online for a solution, but haven't found a solution. Thanks in advance for your help.

SUCCESS ....... for now ......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i have now got my atv2 unit to power back on - and we can play the rented SD movie which is playing now to a happy family....
No HDCP error message appeared this time.
This what we did to fix our issues....
1) Pressed the HDMI cable more firmly into the HDMI port into TV - this allowed the ATV2 to actually show/reappear onto the tv panel.
2) Plugged both power leads for TV and ATV DIRECTLY into wall. (Previously, we had both AC leads plugged into a 4x multi power board and had this plugged into the wall.
We started the SD movie and no HDCP error appeared and movie is still playing as i type...
Now, to repeat this error/diagnostic, we then plugged the TV power lead back into the 4 x multi power board and plugged the board back into the wall. Immediately, the dreaded HDCP error re-appeared. We then replugged TV back into wall directly and no HDCP error message.
Hypothesis #1 :
Now, this 4 x multi power board also had our DVD player and stereo connected to it. Perhaps our DVD (potential recording device) was being detected and hence the HDCP barrier came up so that we were not able to record this movie.... just a hunch but sounds plausible.....
Hypothesis #2 :
Also, this 4 x multi power board was within immediate vacinity of the ATV2 unit. Possible interference.....
When the 'dust' settles and the family finishes watching the movies, (1 x HD , 1 x SD), i will plug the 4 x multi power board into another AC wall socket way out of the way of the ATV2 unit (around 4m) and try to repeat this error to validate my hypotheses - noted above.
I will report findings later in around 6 hours...
thanks for your help people...

Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)

Hi!
So i think i closed the wrong service at some point a few weeks back (apple mobile device) but iTunes remained working after that for another week. I then updated iTunes and i get the same "Service ‘Apple Mobile Device’ (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." every time. If i click ignore, just so i can access iTunes with out syncing my iPod (touch 2nd gen) i then get 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)" when it has all installed. I don't understand what the problem is anymore as I have looked at other questions on the apple website, carried out the advice and it hasn't work. Any of them.
Tings I have done:
- Wiped all iTunes and Apple data from my computer (if you search for 'iTunes' or 'Apple' nothing comes up apart from applets from system code.
- Attached iPod before iTunes install and updated drivers.
- Installed iTunes as 'Run as administrator'
- Uninstalled and re-installed the software nearly 20 times now and rebooted the computer in between everytime.
Please someone help because i really need to get music on my ipod and i enjoy the ease of use of iTunes compared to spotify or Windows Media Player.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
Regarding AMDS failures there is a hint in another thread that disabling the Windows Firewall before attempting to reinstall may help, otherwise take a look at the steps outlined in this post. Re: Can't install iTunes 12.1 on Windows 7 64-bit. I know they look a little daunting, but the process of generating the logs themselves isn't that hard to do. Extracting useful information from them is still a challenge but maybe something will leap out. If you want to post the log for the failed components for me to have a look at here or in the other thread please edit out any personal information, particularly your email address, first.

System Restore to previous iTunes version caused "New iTunes Library" error

So like others I upgraded to 11; tried to keep an open mind but the thing keeps hanging up on me, running slowly, and wow I hate not being able to see my playlists next to my library. Even little things like deleting a song from a playlist and iTunes not automatically playing the next song bother me to no end.
SO, I decided to try a System Restore to my previous iTunes version but now I can't open iTunes due to a "New iTunes Library" error. /facepalm
I'm assuming it has something to do with 11 changing my Library file format and the file not reverting during the restore? Or something?
Is there anything I can do at this point? Any easy fix I'm not aware of?
Or will I have no choice but to uninstall/re-install the previous iTunes? (If this truly is the only solution could you please point me in the direction of the easiest way to go about it, I'm somewhat computer-literate but I've heard that it can be a pain in the butt)
I'm sure my songs themselves are fine, right? So my main thing is that I REALLY don't want to lose my playlists, I have dozens of them, that's what I'm the most worried about. I do keep all my music/playlists fairly up to date on my iPod as well, if that would help me restore my library. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Quit iTunes.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes. (Substitute iTunes 10.7)
Use the Finder (Mac) or Windows Explorer (Windows) to go to the iTunes folder that contains the iTunes library files:
Mac OS X
/Users/username/Music/iTunes/
Microsoft Windows Windows XP and Windows 2000
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows Windows Vista and Windows 7
\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
Drag the iTunes Library file from the above location to the Desktop.
Open the Previous iTunes Libraries folder in the iTunes folder.
Locate the file named iTunes Library YYYY-MM-DD where YYYY-MM-DD is the date you upgraded iTunes (Year-Month-Day).
Drag this file to the iTunes folder (the enclosing folder).
Rename this file to iTunes Library.
Open iTunes.

Can't install latest version of itunes. "Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified." Help?

Can't install latest version of itunes. "Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified." Help?

I had this, and after a large number of fruitless attempts, I had to reload Windows, which solved it. This was of course a real pain, but I had to do it since updating iTunes was necessary in order to get the new iOS version. But before doing such a drastic thing, you could try to restore Windows to a previous point in time by picking a restore point. This of course presumes that you really have some issues with your Windows (which I had) and that you can make a decent guess on when the system was ok (which I couldn't), i.e that you can decide a good date to restore to.

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!!!

HDCP Error after update Itunes 12.1.2.27 and Yosemite 10.10.3

Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
Thanks.

I have the same problem. any help from any one please? thank you

Itunes, 1606 error;

Hi. My thinking, feeling is that, maybe, there's something up, with/in - C:\Documents and Settings, C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService or C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService; I mean there's the All users and Compaq Owner, but per Sun Java's recent error: 2753 - regutils.dll, iTune's error: 1606 - cannot locate local network location, and CA (Computer Associate's antivirus/antispyware) Internet Suite - error 9035 unable to store license key (which I may add is good for me - until 2010), thus, can not complete install. I already ran Windows Install cleanup, and uh, no, this has nothing to do with Norton as I don't have any fully installed Norton program on my pc/computer. Can any of you kindly look over/review the following "Belarc" computer profile, and (maybe) determine a possible course of action I may take, as I just want to be able to
a) Re-install iTunes/Quicktime/Bonjour/Apple updater, (as I want to get back to listening to iTunes radio's jazz section - The Grooveyard, my sole favorite).
b) installer Sun Java's 6.13 and 6.14 version (update's), which I need clearly for more reason's than one.
c) and get CA (Computer Associate's antivirus/antispyware) Internet Suite reinstalled back on my pc/computer (which I can do), via email link to download, as right now I'm in risk, as to not having any 'protection', and Time Warner Cable (my net service is going to refer me to CA anyway).

Hdcp error on apple tv

Hi, have rented a movie from iTunes on apple tv 3 and hdcp error keeps coming up and won't play movie. Please help!!!! Not sure how to fix???

I recently purchased an Apple TV3 and discovered the dreaded HDCP error as well.
I read through a lot of forums and have listed in order what worked for me. The best solution at the top, some solutions included because, this is 2013 and I still laugh that they were suggested.
Resolving the HDCP Error
(1) Change your HDMI cable to a high speed HDMI cable. My TV was HDCP compliant even though it was a first generation plasma. Thanks Panasonic! But my HDMI cable was not high speed. AppleTV would work some days and not others. It sucked. Then I swapped an HDMI highspeed cable from my PVR sitting in the corner (good riddance cable) and I have no longer seen the HDCP Error. I am keeping my fingers crossed and feel my eylids flicker everytime we fire up an episode of Dexter. Are we going to get the 3 second death pause?... So far no. (Post Enraging HDCP Error Syndrome PEHES)
(1A) Using HDMI port #1 - apparently most TVs don't have HDCP built into all HDMI terminals. This was the case with mine. My appleTV will only stream protected content when I have the cable in the first terminal.
(2) Updating your AppleTV software - when an update is available, I have found the appleTV won't stream without it.
(3) Resetting the appleTV - this includes: powering down the unit, powering down the TV, unplugging the cords (HDMI and power) from the AppleTV and the TV, waiting 30 seconds and reconnecting. This worked only intermittently for me.
(4) Same as 3, but 40 min wait - really? yes really. This worked only intermittently. And is comical. "Now go manually discharge your capacitors!"
(5) Changing the Video Settings on the AppleTV - someone suggested that changing the video settings on the apple TV may actually "reset the device" This did not work for me.
(6) Re-installing AppleTV - seriously? to stream my content I have to re install the appleTV software? I eventually tried this too, and while it took a long time and was annoying, did not work.
Anyway, I hope this is helpful to someone with the same problem in the future.

I have had my apple tv 2 for about 3 months which work perfectly fine when I use it with my iPad 3 ー all of the sudden I get the HDCP Error! I read the forms and done everything! Apple I name a loyal customer, please come out with an update soon!

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

ITunes Installation Error Message?

I recently had to install an update for iTunes. After the update was installed, I was promted by an error message that "iTunes was not installed correctly", and that I needed to reinstall iTunes. Once I completed the process of uninstalling iTunes, I began to reinstall iTunes. After the reinstallation process, I was then prompted by another error message that had said, "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)." I have continued to receive this error prompt every time that I have attempted to reinstall iTunes. I have even followed troublshooting procedures on this Apple Support page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926 and still have not had any luck. Is there anyone that can help me with this please?

Hello there, John.
