M TV not playing my own private movie files

How do I get my movies to Itunes, so I can play them on my Television through MTV?

Sorry, thought this was a MAC support web site. I have a MAC bok pro, Time capsule and apple TV all recently bought and trying to figuere out how ot use them properly. Yes the files are and will be .avi until I figuere out how to convert them to a compatible file as you suggested (.m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats) a third party does nto tell me much, can you please be specific as to how to convert them and then my original question how to put them in Itunes so I can see th movies on my TV through apple TV. Thanks in advance for your kind cooperation and patience in this matter with a neophyte like me. Cheers!

  • I have up dated my itune and now it will not play my old purchase movies. I have brought new ones and they work but my old purchases will not. Why and how can I fix it.

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

    Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

    All of sudden apple tv will not play my tv shows/movies on itunes.  It says "The connected display is not authorized to play protected movies.
    Can anyone help  I have just bought alot of movies and tv shows and want to watch them with my family not just on my ipad!!!
    Not sure why this has just started happening.  have been using apple tv with my ipad for months and now it comes up with this error... 
    THanks

    Firstly restart the AppleTV, secondly check the HDMI lead and if possible swap for another or another HDMI input - sounds as though AppleTV thinks the TV is not HDCP capable.

  • Quicktime not playing any of my movies

    i've run software update recently and now Quicktime won't play any of my movies (that used to work just fine...). Now it opens fine, but if i try to open a movie (avi, mpeg4, whatever...) it just "beach balls" and i have to Force Quit (it shows not responding...). Does anyone know how i can fix this? it's so annoying!

    There may be an encoding issue with the files. Can you play them if you download the VLC media player (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html)?

  • Certain flash movies will not play - including Adobe TV movies with Dreamweaver tutorials

    For months, certain .swf movies will not play.  No error, won't even load the player.  I thought it was because of IE8 which I installed several months ago.  Now I loaded Firefox and Opera and the movies still do not play in those browsers either.  At least I get an error message "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference".
    I have newly installed Dreamweaver CS4 and when I launch it, there are links to Adobe TV videos.  These will not play.  Here is an example of a video that will not play: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/inside-the-dreamlabs/dreamweaver-cs4-live-preview/
    I have googled the error but the results seem to be developers talking about code in Action Script 3.
    Can someone please help?  I have spent hours trying to get this resolved.
    My Flash Player version is 10,0,45,2 and I had the issue when I was at 10,0,32 whatever as well.

    Ya, it's a very old post.  This forum actually has a very high response rate (more than 90%+) thanks to people like Pat, Carl and Xircal who volunteer their time and knowledge to help the community.

  • Streaming flash video will not play automatically. Must move the mouse off the link

    I have 4 computers, all running Win7. On every one, Internet explorer. 2 have firefox 3. 2 have firefox 4. When clicking a link on a website that has live streaming video (flash) - the stream changes to the next one and the video feed begins right away. Works fine on all 4 computers in IE, and in both Firefox 3. The video starts when the mouse is clicked, or when the screen is refreshed. On both computers with firefox4 - the mouse click loads the new feed, but the video hangs on a white screen until the mouse pointer moves. same problem when the feeds are set to auto-rotate. they load every 30 seconds, but unless I physically move the mouse, no video plays (or click the 'next feed' button again, which gives a split-second peek at the video feed I am navigating away from), I need to monitor many security cameras, and this is excruciating. Safe mode does not help. I have the newest versions of everything. please tell me this is a bug and not someone's bright idea

    Your code paths are different on the index page video

  • I downloaded two movies for rental and they will not play, i downloaded two movies for rental and they will not play

    i downloaded rented movies and they will not play, it says that they are on another device.

    Are the files still physically on the hard drive?
    You can verify that in the Download Manager window via the right-click context menu.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Downloads+window
    If Open Containing Folder and Open are grayed then the files were removed and are no longer present in the original download location.

  • Not playing purchased music and movies...

    My new iPod touch isn't playing some of my purchased music and movies. It will not play any movies at all. When I try, a pop up appears saying "This movie could not be played." And from what I've noticed all purchased music bought before 1/1/09, do not play. That's what I've noticed, however, I'm not 100% positive.

    See: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23399558#23399558 to determine if there are the same problems you are experiencing.  I  have spent over 6 hours on this issue trying to isolate if it is a  hardware, software, network, iTunes account, or Apple device issue.  My  initial results indicate it is a software specific issue related to the  Apply TV hardware device. it appears for some, resetting the software works, or others - signing back in, for others, nothing works....

  • Quicktime movies will not play if I delete 'media' files

    I have created several Quicktime movies so that I can see the movies after I delete the imported media files which are quite large. But after I delete those files I cannot play the Quicktime movie. I get messages saying that the parts cannot be found. If I reinstall the 'media' files, the movie plays again. It seems that the Quicktime movie is somehow linked to the media files. This shoudn't be, should it?
    I might add that I was able to export a web size file and sucesessfully upload it to YouTube though.

    Well, I'm just saving the movie to the desktop and then trying to play it back after I've deleted the media files.
    If by "saving" you mean you are using the "Save As..." QT Pro (or similar menu option) to create a very, very small "reference rather than "standalone" file, then this is your problem. Such a work flow merely creates a QT MOV file that points to the original "media" as the "resource" for playback. Thus all files must be kept on hand for playing. Even moving the resource files from one location to another can break the "path reference" and prevent the files from opening/playing. You best solution is to export your files to a target compression format that meets your playback needs. E.g., if you source media files are DV or AIC (large files), you can export them as "Medium" H.264/AAC files which can be easily viewed on your computer iPod, and/or TV device but take up only a fraction of the original space.

  • New Computer does not play certain games or movies.

    Hopefully someone can help
    My new computer will not play certian flash based games eg "Raze" (Error message "Protected by secure swf")
    Also website Warcraftmovies will not play any videos (Only get blank black screen with no errormessage)
    However the spinning adobe flash animation is working, and most flash based games are working and also YouTube videos are working. So far I've only found that videos on warcraftmovies and the game raze are not working.
    Flash version 10,2,159,1 installed.
    Operating system is Windows 7 64 bit
    Both firefox 4.0 and IE8 64 bit are installed and encounter the same problems

    This issue is occurring with me too.

  • FCP will not open due to a movie file

    Hey Everyone,
    FCP stopped opening. When I try to open the application it loads for a moment, then a box appears with the words
    'The movie file "Outside Workouts.mov" cannot be found. Without this file, the movie cannot play properly'.
    I searched for the file and could not find it. It's possible that I may have accidently trashed the file. However, I still do not understand why this file is preventing FCP from opening-up. At the same time, this file is preventing me from opening other FCP projects that have nothing to do with it. Any advice on how to fix this problem and open FCP would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Isaiah

    It's likely that FCP is set to "Open last project on launch". You need to clear that from the FCP preferences file.
    Deleting FCP Preferences:
    Open a Finder window. Set the view mode to columns:
    Click the house icon that has your name next to it.
    Click the folder "Library" in the next column.
    Find and click the folder "Preferences" in the next column.
    Find and click the folder "Final Cut Pro User Data" in the next column.
    Move the files "Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs", "Final Cut Pro Obj Cache" and "Final Cut Pro Prof Cache" to the Trash and empty it.
    When you have a stable set of preference files, download [Preference Manager|http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm] to back them up.
