ITunes will not play movie on PC but will on AirPlay

Since upddating to the new iTunes software (10.0.1.2) I haven't been able to play back any movies that I have purchased on iTunes on my Windows 7 Pro computer.
I thought that maybe my database was currupt so I created a new libary on the computer and started fresh and downloading my music and my movies that I have previously purchased.
I still cannot play a movie on my Windows 7 Pro PC. 
When I click on a movie, it looks like it opens the movie on the screen, the playback controls appear and you can move the timeline and see / move the different chapter names on where the movies is at. 
The screen remains black and you do not see the sound.
I tried turning on Airplay and that worked playing the movies from my PC to my Apple TV so that confirms the movie file is okay.
I have tried turning off in QuickTime the Direct3D Accelleration and alos putting Quicktime in Safe Mode(GDI Only) but it still will not play.
Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

I just tried downloading a previously purchased TV show and it works so maybe its just movies.

  • My shuffle will NOT play protected AAC files but will play ripped AAC files

    When I download a playlist to my Ipod Shuffle all files appear to transfer OK, but only the regular AAC files (the ones from my CD's) will play (i.e. the protectet AAC files will NOT play). If I create a playlist with only protected AAC files purchased from Itunes, NOTHING will play.

    Yes, I've reset to factory defaults.

    Yes, These songs play fine on my Windows XP PC.

    Yes, I've deleted all my music files and restored them.
    Basically, I've got a MP3 player (Yes, I know I'm actually playing AAC files)
    Any Ideas!!! Has anyone seen this before?

    Hi,
    Check the iPod hardware properties. Make sure that the iPod shuffle is connected to computer.
    1. Right-click My Computer and click Manage.
    2. Select Device manager.
    3. Then select Universal Serial Bus controllers.
    4. Right-click USB Mass Storage devices and click Properties.
    5. Click the Details tab.

    or take it back to the place from were you brought and ask for a replacement.

  • 10.8.5 ITUNES WILL NOT PLAY MOVIES DOWNLOADED FROM ITUNES

    Downloaded the new iTunes last night and it seems to work well with music but it will not play movies I've downloaded from the iTunes store. The sore works, Radio works, I can buy from the store but movies I have from iTunes (Star Trek, The Incredibles, ST: Into Darkeness among others) strat then crash. I get a message about an error with a plug in (FX I think) that has failed or is not found.
    Anybody else seeing this? Any solutions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Okay, I think I found my problem. I have SRS iWOw installed and the FX plugin is part of that. If I disable iWow all movies play as they are supposed to.
    Looks like I need to contact SRS for an update/upgrade or dump it and find another sound enhancer app.
    Thanks fo looking.

    I just bought a new mac mini and an external DVD burner. I want to burn a DVD video and it will not play on the TV but only on the computer? Need this figured out for tomorrow. Can anyone help me?

    Congratulations on the new Mini. Are you saying you tried burning and it does not play, or do you want to burn it only for the computer to be able to play it?

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page.

    HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page.  I continually get a message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.   Not only will it not print docs, it will not print web pages using IE 11 or Google Chrome.
    I've used Print and Scan Doctor, it always reports there are no issues and prints a test page even though I can't print anything else. 
    Each time I want to print, I must reboot the computer.  After reboot I have one chance to print.   This problem started February 15, 2015.  
    My operating system is Windows 8.1.   I have unintalled the HP software, rebooted, then reinstalled the software:
    OJ8500_A910_1315-1.exe
    HP Print and Scan Doctor - HPPSdr.exe
    HPSupportSolutionsFramework-11.51.0049.msi
    All versions were last downloaded on April 4, 2015.
    I have a home wireless network (Ubee DDW366 router).  All other devices in the house will print to the 8500A printer without issues:  2 Toshiba laptops, 2 Android phones, and 1FireHD.
    The desk top is installed with a Netgear Network card I don't know the model, but I had it tested by a PC Tech to confirm that the card is working.   The card and Windows 8.1 were installed on January 3, 2015.
    I have run virus scans and malware scans.  Each time they show there are no issues with my desktop.  What kind of desktop? Specifically made to my specs from store parts. . . no brand name computer.  ASUS Motherboard P6X580 Premium.  Now I will probably get hacked!
    I am at my wits end.  And it is frustrating when I need to make a print of something and the system locks up.  I often resort to screen printing to a word document to save in order to reboot. . . .but then I lose all sorts of capabilites when I salvage what I needed.  Also this is a time consumer.
    This printer has served us well for two years and I have expensive cartridges waiting; another two rounds of refills.
    Help?
    Addendum:  I can scan using HP Printer Assistance.  I open the HP Printer assistant, it "retrieves" info from the printer, then I select "scan a document or photo" and the printer responds.   I have no trouble with scanning.
    This question was solved.

  • Video will not play on iPhone 3GS but plays on old edge iPhone

    I apologize if this has already been answered, I looked several pages deep and did a search and found nothing that helped.
    I synched my new iPhone 3GS (version 3.2.1) and added movies but they will not play, only the audio works. I can play them on my computer on iTunes and I can play them on my old iPhone (edge), but not on the new one.
    Usually I see a block of green, and sometimes it is just black.
    I am able to play YouTube videos in Safari.
    I have tried the advance option to convert video to iPod or iPhone and it says it is already in the correct format. I have tried everything I could find in the forum and nothing.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

  • Itunes will not play movies... To play this movie install quick time

    I downloaded itunes on a new computer and it won't play movies.  It keeps giving me the error "This movie requires Quick Time which is not included in this version of itunes.  To play this movie install quick time."  I've installed Quick Time, uninstalled it, installed it again, tried a change and repair trick that I read about but nothing has worked...please anybody help.

    Okay ... that's left the field a bit open.
    Can you check something for me please? I'd like to try doing a "Run as administrator" on your iTunes.
    Quit iTunes first.
    In Computer, open Local Disk C: or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
    Open the "Program files" folder.
    Open the "iTunes" folder.
    Right-click on the iTunes.exe file and select "run as administrator".
    Try playing the movie now. Does it play for you without the message?

  • IPad will not play movies when I try to restart them.

    I rented a couple movies prior to a buisness trip.  When I was sitting at the airport, I started one of the movies and watched while I was waiting on my plane. They called my plane so I turned on airplane mode, shut down my I pad, and got on the plane.  When I restarted my IPad on the plane,  it would not play the movie.   I could see the chapters, I could see the other movies I had rented and downloaded, but none of them would play.   I even tried to play one of my other downloads and it did not work. Is this because I was in Airplane mode?  I could play one of the movies I own that is on the IPad, just not the rentals.  Once I was home,  my IPad hooked back up to my wireless, and worked fine and I watched the rest of the movie.  Is there some issue why this is not working?  If I can't rent movies to watch on an airplane, I am going to be pretty bitter.
    Thanks in advance.

    First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    You won't have to swipe anything on the screen to reboot the iPad. Hopefully this will correct the error.

  • PS3 (blu-ray player) will not play movie after menu selection on this particular project?

    When trying to play my finished Blu-ray disc on PS3 the menus display and work good. However, when I choose a selection to play the movie it returns back to the main menu. It doesn't matter if I choose the main play button or one of the chapters on the scene selection menu, it does not play the movie but rather returns to the main menu. Menus appear to be working fine!
    I've used Encore for years and I'm pretty familiar with the ins and outs of creating DVD's. I'm a little new at creating Blu-rays but have found the process very similar to creating DVDs with the addition of being able to add Popup menus. I pretty much followed the same process as a Blu-ray I created a couple months ago which worked fine. So I'm pretty much at a lose how to trouble shoot this issue. The only thing that has changed is that I've upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite but I really don't know if that is a factor or not. Encore did not run into any issues while working on the project.
    Everything works when previewing my project in Encore. All the menus and buttons work and the movie plays fine. Also, no errors are reported after running the Check Project process on the Build tab.
    I usually create an ISO file to burn from later. Encore created the ISO file and reported success.
    I'm running Adobe CS6 on a Mac with Yosemite. FCPX was used to output the AC3 audio file and 264 video file. Menu transitions are ProRes422.
    So far while trouble shooting I've made 3 coasters.
    1st disc was created using Yosemite Disk Utility to burn the ISO file created by Encore (my usual way).
    2nd, and 3rd disc I let Encore burn directly from the project.
    3rd disk I removed the PopUp menu as I've only done one in the past and figured I would try that as a trouble shooting step.
    So, since everything appears fine Encore I'm really not sure how to trouble shoot this. I wish Apple would support Blu-ray better so I could just open the ISO file in DVD Player like I do when I create DVD ISOs. So much easier than having to trouble shoot by creating coasters.
    If anyone has come across this issue before and has any suggestions I would really appreciate it. I'd like to complete this project and move on.
    Thanks in advance!

    Well, at this point I'm thinking maybe something is wrong with the movie files output from FCPX even though they play fine in Encore. I noticed that there is a one frame difference between the video and audio file. The video file is 00:38:45:01 and the audio file is 00:38:45:02. I already output the file using Compressor. However, I'm still seeing the exact same time difference between the video and audio file when imported back into Encore. I'm going to rebuild the Encore project from scratch using the movie files output from Compressor and try again. If that doesn't work I'll use 7toX to convert FCPX XML and try importing the XML into Premier Pro and output the movie files that way for Encore. Or, output a master file from FCPX and let Encore do the transcoding.

  • Quicktime will not play .mov files since Lion installation

    When using Quicktime 10.6, I am receiving the error message "...file could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." when attempting to open .mov files.  Prior to installing OS X Lion, there were no issues with playing .mov files.

    I'm having the same problem. Using a clean install of Mac OS X (10.7) Lion and QuickTime 10.1. 
    If I go to finder:
    I can click on Icon's Play arrow and the Movie will play in the icon.
    I can click on the file icon and press the spacebar and the file will play in QuickLook.
    If I doubleclick on the icon to open the file in QuickTime, I get the "...file could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." message.
    If I right click on the icon and click open with... QuickTime, I get the "...file could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." message.

  • My iMac will not boot through Snow Leopard but will boot through Windows OS

    My 2010 iMac will not boot in Snow Leopard, only Windows. Have tried reinstalling Snow leopard a few times and works only for a couple of minutes before freezing and doesnt reboot. Windows works perfect. Snow leopard just doesnt want to boot up past the Apple Logo. It was working fine one day and the next day it froze up and was able to reboot back into Snow Leopard but kept freezing. Now it doesnt load at all into Mac OS.

    Possible scenarios:
    1: The 10.6.3 SL retail disk is bad, it happens.
    2: Your not using the 10.6.3 SL retail disk but one from another machine which doesn't have the drivers for that machine.
    3: Your optical drive is funky or some other hardware issues.
    4: Your trying to install 10.6 onto a PowerPC based Mac, no can do.
    5: Your not using a wired keyboard for boot key commands, have some other hardware conflicts.
    Possible solutions.
    1: Copy the SL 10.6.3 disk using Disk Utility to another DVD, the error checking may resolve the original disk's issue.
    http://www.brokenhomeboy.co.uk/pierow/blog/2011/10/make-a-bootable-backup-snow-l eopard-install-disc/
    2: Make a SL bootable USB
    http://www.maciverse.com/install-os-x-snow-leopard-from-usb-flash-drive.html
    3: Call Apple for a new 10.6.3 disk (and make copies for backup before Apple discontinues selling it)
    If your upgrading to 10.6 to get to 10.6.8 to upgrade to 10.7, be warned of this:
    1: Your 10.5 software will not work in 10.7, no more Rosetta or PPC based code.
    2: Your hardware will not qualify if it's a 32 bit Intel Core Duo, also you may experience slowdowns in performance over 10.6 (10.6 is the fastest OS X version for Intel Macs) in older Intel hardware (I suggest Early 2011 Mac's and later only for Lion)
    3: Mountain Lion 10.8 is reportingly coming out this summer and will not run on a lot of older Intel based Mac's because of heftier graphics requirements.
    4: 10.6 has the widest range of current avaialble software and drivers for third party hardware.
    My advice, stick with 10.6.8 and stay there, buy a new Mountain Lion machine after this summer. Skip Lion completely.
