Movies on iPhone 6 plus won't play on my tv with the adapter. Device not allowed to play protected movies. It worked before the update

I Just tried to play a movie off of my iPhone 6 plus ios 8.1 on my tv using the hdmi adapter, the movie plays for about 2 secs and then tells me the device is not authorized to play protected movies.. I have power rebooted my phone closed everything out and it stil isn't working.. I can do anything else like view web pages and Netflix just not purchased movies from iTunes.. Oh and it worked before the update I used it several times..

Mr Ram,
There is a group of Quicktime specialists in Apple.com ⇒ Support ⇒ Discussions ⇒ Quicktime .
The more data you give us, the easier it is to help us help you to diagnose your problem. Your disk space would be very useful. Contrary to some, I advocate iDefrag to assist VLC and MPlayer, which you were a little hard on.
GNU/Linux's free offerings
MPlayer was developed a decade ago, and I prefer it for viewing DVDs (for 'DVD Player') seems too dark. VLC (legally) copies many CRM-protected DVDs of yours, so you can play only the burned copy. When I'm having a problem playing a DVD, the VLC log tells me all: only perfect DVDs play well on VLC.
There are two ways of viewing everything.
Streaming MPEG-4
+H.264/MPEG-4 AVC+ is a fancy codec based upon MPEG-4: it requires a powerful processor to de-compress it. I watched an MPEG-4 movie from a G3 iBook in 2005. It played flawlessly.
Your Problem
Quicktime 7.X applications can not play +H.264/MPEG-4 AVC+ streams. It was a bug Apple never fixed. Frames are dropped because H.264 is so slow that it requires special hardware. You, I'm sad to say, don't have it.
To quote the Wikipedia on Quicktime: 'QuickTime 7 lacks support for H.264's Sample Aspect Ratio .[67] QuickTime X does not have this limitation; many Apple products (such as iTunes and Apple TV) still use the older QuickTime 7 engine.'
My Quicktime Pro on a PPC PowerBook is 7.6.4. You can either use a Linux transplant or upgrade to Quicktime X. Those more familiar with Macs may have better ideas for you.
My best,
Bruce

Blueray drive on Envy the content is not allowed to play in the current display mode.

HP Envy 17 Notebook PC
Windows 7 64 bit
When I play a blueray disc I get the following message:
The content is protected.
The content is not allowed to play in the current display mode.
I am trying to run it in HP media smart on my pc monitor.
I have the same message before and after I updated the media smart software.
I am running version 4.1.2.5219

This should be an easy one. Press the "Windows" and "P" key at the time and choose projector only when the monitor is plugged in.
If you want to have both on then you need to use SlySoft to remove the HDCP protocols in Media Smart and the movie, but that's not free.
Here it is if you want it.

If you are still having problems with that version of Media Smart, then there is a newer one available.
Even better, Cyberlink Power DVD10 is available for free for HP owners.
Post again if you need the links.

Not allowed to play movie, an external display is detected (Q1544)

I'm getting this message on my I-pad 2 while using my Uverse app
"Not allowed to play movie, an external display is detected (Q1544).
There is no problem using the Netflix app.

There isn't a workaround, if you get that message then the provider has blocked using Airplay or an external monitor. Contact Uverse and ask them to remove the block.

I just downloaded an album but one song won't play instead a message that "This computer is not authorized" to play the song. The prompt has a log in and when I log in it tells me the computer is already authorized. What gives?

Thundercat). I purchased the entire album and it even played fine the first listen through.

Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?

I bought an iPad Mini and also have a macbook. I had listened to various music on my iPad Mini the other day, however when I connected the iPad Mini to the Macbook and iTunes via the lightning connector to sync, it synced the ratings I gave the songs I listened to on the mini, but no play count, as if I had not listened to anything. I hope there is something I can do about this as I often look at my play count!!

It should work work but these kind of bugs pop up between updates, both hardware and software. Try closing all apps in the recently used list on the iPad. Double tap the Home button, tap and hold one of the icons at the bottom till they wiggle then tap the to close them. Tap the Home button to get back to the Home screen then hold the sleep button till you see the slide to power off message. Once it has powered down completely hold the Sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

Does it even really matter...?
Many people including myself rely on playcounts to control smart playlist to manage large libraries. Smart playlists can be created to show your most or least played tracks and used more or less as your favorites or other uses. Along with playcounts the date is transferred so to keep a fresh list of music on my smaller iPods a smart playlist set to songs not played in the last month keeps some fresh tunes on it.
Playcounts are also used to manage Podcasts in iTunes to delete older episode. Bookmarks, which can also be effected by this, can mess up audiobooks, movies and podcast playback between different devices. So yes, it does matter.

Since uploading to 6.0 I cannot play any games on Facebook as it does not allow me to post to wall, send requests or even open half the games yet IE will work still, why is this happening?

We installed Firefox 6.0 yesterday [Aug 17th] on our computer. Since that time I have had serious issues with trying to play the games on FACEBOOK. The system will not allow me to send out friend requests, post to the wall and for the flash type games those won't even load at all.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

"the computer is not authorized to play"

For some reason, a number of songs that I purchased on ITUNES a couple of years ago will not play now. They are in my ITUNES library but every time I go to play them, I get the message that "the computer is not authorized to play [Title]..." I then authorize the computer, it says "this computer is already authorized," then I try to play the song and I go back to the start. It is VERRRY frustrating.
The songs play on my IPOD but (a) not on my ITUNES, and (b) they do not appear on my newly purchased IPHONE after I downloaded my whole library.
Apple is trying to CHARGE ME for customer support and they can kiss my asss.
Please help.
Thanks.

Very simple. Turn off Find my iDevice, then Tap Settings, General, Erase, Erase all content and settings.

Bring your phone and $199 to the Apple store for an out of warranty exchange of your phone. You clearly broke it when you dropped it.
