ITunes won't play video bought through iTunes Store

A little while ago my computer died. I had backed up my itunes files individually, and when I recieved my new computer I dragged the files into the library. The songs work perfectly, but the TV shows which I purchased from iTunes Store will not play whatsoever, even though they are in the library.
When I try to drag them onto my itouch, I get the message, "Title" was not copied to iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod. A couple, but not all of the videos, will crash itunes when I try to play them. At one point I tried 'Create an iPod or iPhone version', but when I did I would first get a message saying 'This application can not be used to play this content. In order to play this content, please open it with iTunes.' and then the message 'Error occurred while converting the file. An unknown error occurred (-50). I also have tried deauthorizing and then authorizing my computer, but it did not work.
Any ideas?

  • HELP!?!?!?I cannot play Videos bought from theiTunes store on my iPod Touch

    After syncing two movie and some shows to my iPod I was unable to play them. A message popped up and said Unable to Play Video. They were bought from the iTunes store. The video files that I did not download from iTunes work Perfectly . HOW DO I FIX THIS!?!??

    I'm having the same problem. And looking through discussion topics, we are not alone. I can't play any of the TV shows that I've purchased and the most recent music I've downloaded looks and acts like it's playing, but I can't hear it. All work fine on my iPod video, but most of the reason I bought a Touch was to have a better way to see videos. I think this has all happened since I upgraded to 2.0.

    My internet won't play videos through safari or YouTube... What if I do

    Wifi? Cellular? That's not much to go on. More details help. If you think it's your internet contact your provider or carrier.

    Ipod video classic 5th gen won't play video/podcasts or audio only a black screen with the play symbol and volume/progress bar. games work fine! any ideas?

    Here's some more info.
    I tried installing the latest iTunes to my housemate's PC, logging into iTMS with my account, authorizing his machine to play my content, restoring my iPod to the factory settings, downloading the videos and copying them to my iPod.
    It worked fine, and I can play my videos.
    I have done the exact SAME thing on my own home PC twice, after completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and the Apple Software Updater. But I still can't get any videos downloaded on my home PC to play on my iPods.
    Any thoughts?

  • My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.

    My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.  When I "Preview In Browser" through Edge it plays (I have created a shape and used the "play video full screen" snippet)  in full screen mode just fine.  When I "Preview Site In Browser" through Muse and click on the shape to PLAY VIDEO FULL SCREEN, it does nothing.  I am new to both programs and can't figure out why it will work out of the preview window in Edge and won't work when I publish to Muse.  Does anybody have an answer or a work-around for me?

    Is it a Flash issue perhaps?

  • Flash player won't play videos in safari after I've installed Lion does anyone have a solution?

    Hi,
    I've installed Lion after which Flash Player won't play videos with Safari. I keep being prompted to download and install the latest version of Flash Player whcih I've done several times. Can someone please help me fix this.
    I find Adobe's announcement that there are no issues with Flash Player and Lion a bit of a sick joke.
    Many thanks,
    Ian Pickering

    This sounds like the problems that Adobe have reported which are listed at
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html#main_Flash_Player
    I only use flash for watching video clips on the BBC website so haven't been affected by these other issues. The text below is copied from the website at the above link. Hope this helps.
    The Flash Player Settings dialog box doesn't respond to mouse clicks. As a workaround, press the Tab key to move to the Close button and press the spacebar to close the dialog box. While not all settings are available, you can also use the Flash Player native control panel in System Preferences.

  • Quicktime won't play videos online. ???

    I just downloaded quicktime, and then restarted my computer. But it still won't play videos online. I'm not sure if it is like this for all sites, but i have one site in particular that won't play videos. Any ideas? I have Windows 7 by the way.

    I come across this a lot, actually. I'm tired of having to switch to Firefox in order to view certain quicktimes. Here's a clip that won't play for me:
    http://www.chartoonz.com/index.html
    I can't figure it out because Safari will play quicktimes, even other h264 quicktimes, but then I'll run across an h264 on someone's site and I get the question mark.

  • My computer won't play videos from site like the Daily Show and the CW, but they stopped working last week. I have the newest version of Adobe player. Anyone know why the full videos will not play?

    I failed to mention that the sound does play on the videos that are not playing.

  • My computer won't play videos..

    My computer won't play videos on news sites or videos I have successfully uploaded and others have viewed on Facebook. It's fairly new- do I need a new version of Safari? I have version 5.0.

    Do you have the Flash player installed? If not, go to Adobe and install the newest version.

  • Help!  iPod Classic 5th generation  won't play video

    My iPod won't play videos at all. I get a logo screen with TV or Podcast (e.g.) image in the upper left corner & audio will play but no video. Any ideas how to solve this?

    Actually I found the answer!!, It was a matter of of changing my settings (in video) of tv out to off instead of on.
    Thank you anyway!!

  • Firefox won't play videos from YouTube, Hulu, etc. w/latest Flash version.

    Despite following both Firefox and Flash directions, Firefox won't play videos from YouTube, Hulu, etc. They either never load or they load and freeze within seconds. Before I got the latest versions of Firefox and Flash, I did not have this problem. So there must be a problem in one or both of them. Since I understand from various websites that this is a widespread problem, can Firefox fix this? It's a major flaw in the latest Firefox version.

  • Suddenly can't play video content through iTunes

    My Dell laptop is running Windows 7. I've had this laptop for 3+ years and I've always been able to play movies and TV shows on it through iTunes. Today I redeemed a code for the Iron Man 3 digital download and the movie wouldn't play. In fact, no video will play, but music will.
    I updated iTunes to 11.1, but it didn't solve the issue. I've read some of the articles about issues with playing HD movies on Windows 7 computers, but 1) I've always been able to watch HD content through iTunes on this laptop, and 2) some of the TV episodes I have are only SD...they won't play now, either.
    Thoughts?

    After upgrading to iTunes 11.1 on Windows 7 x64, none of the HD movies I've purchased will play. I've never had any issues with these movies prior to upgrading to iTunes 11.1.

  • ITunes still won't play videos or TV downloads

    I'm using a Mac and the help articles I've seen are for Windows. I have tried everything suggested in previous posts and done the help given by the Apple tech (download latest Quicktime, etc.) and the movies, TV shows and music videos still don't work. Gray screen with no sound or video, but the progress bar at the top moves. iTunes won't shuffle songs anymore either, and with the last update all my custom saved equalizer settings disappeared. Does anyone have any additional help? [I'm using iTunes 7.6.2, Quicktime 7.5]
    Thanks,
    Mike

    If this ever happens to you check to see if you or a friend has added a few video viewing programs to your hard drive. My son-in-law copied some programs from his laptop to my iMac in order to be able to view most any type video format that I might encounter. Turns out that some of them were causing the interference that kept iTunes from playing videos, movies or TV shows.
