No hope for "not HDCP authorized"...intentional according to Apple...

...I spoke with Apple Support and this error is intentional, thus there is no workaround, or at least not one that isn't a hack.
So, all the video content I've purchased over the years is no longer playable on the display I have connected to my MacBook Pro. And the cable was run through the walls when the house built, so there's no changing the cable even if that were a solution.
According to Apple Support, this is meant to prevent people from pirating content. I am presuming Apple has no issue with us watching on a connected monitor, yet a totally legit in-home use is now no longer permissible. Sadly, my days of purchasing video on iTunes are over. Sadly because it was a great service while it lasted.

Blame the content owners NOT Apple.
They insist on the anti copy protection, which unfortunately also causes the issue you have.

  • CANNOT PLAY HD CONTENT BECAUSE MY 24" APPLE DISPLAY NOT "HDCP" AUTHORIZED

    Hi I'm sure this topic must have come up before but nothing came up in a search. I'm trying to play an HD TV show and I can't on my 24" Apple cinema display hooked up to my 15" Macbook pro core 2 duo through a mini DV port. I'm getting the error message that the display is not authorized to play HDCP protected movies. How can this be when it is an Apple display and why am I getting this message on a free HD video? I also have not been able to play any itunes video on my external display in full screen mode. When I go to full screen mode the video transfers to the computer screen. I'd appreciate knowing if these are common problems and if this is what Apple has designed or if this is a fault and if there is a solution to these problems?
    Thanks For any help.

    Hi BSteely thanks for the reply! I have a newer Apple 24" Cinema Display connected through a Mini DisplayPort (pardon my error tibor.moldovan) and it has supported HDCP, but the other day I got an error message when I tried to play a HD video in iTunes saying that my display is not HDCP authorized. I had had that error message previously when trying to play HD content on a TV attached to my computer but not when playing it on my Apple display, so I was surprised when it happened.
    +"The issue of full screen video coming back to the computer's screen (I assume you mean on the MacBook Pro) is expected. The way to work around that is to make the external screen the primary screen. This can be done by running the MBP in closed clamshell mode with only the external screen being active."+
    Thanks so much for the explanation about the full screen issue. When I first got my external screen and I went to full screen mode it played in the external monitor, but after an upgrade it stopped doing this. I will give this a try.

  • Will setting up an iCloud e-mail address for Notes change my Apple ID

    I am looking to synch Notes on my Mac, iPad and iPhone and apparently need to create a separate e-mail address for iCloud just for Notes. I currently use my Apple ID to log into my iCloud account and since this is an AOL e-mail address cannot be used for Notes. I am concerned that this additional e-mail address will somehow become the default for more than just Notes and cause me problems. Can someone provide some insight?

    In order to sync notes with iCloud you have to create an iCloud email account because it uses the email IMAP service to sync notes.  You don't have to actually use the email account for email but it does have to be created in order to sync notes.  You can just create the @icloud.com address and forget about it.  After it's created, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Mail section) and make sure your AOL account is still selected as your default.  (If it isn't, tap it to select it).  It won't cause any other problems.

    What a colossally bad idea!  To anyone reading this thread DO NOT DO THIS!!!  Once anyone other than an Apple Authorized Service Provider (and that doesn't automatically mean your carrier, just FYI) opens up the device, then ALL options from Apple are gone, permanently.

    Hi there 8472kck!
    I have some information for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. That information can be found right here:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    and that information comes from this article:

    Could you please give suggestion how to resolve this issue.
    Thanks,
    Raj

    It seems like you have created a new payment group cashOnDelivery but have not configured the required property files required for its validation
    1) In /atg/commerce/order/processor/ValidatePaymentGroupByType.properties add something as following
    # Add a return code for your cash payment method
    returnValues+=\
    cashOnDelivery=5051
    2) then in CommercePipeline.xml add the mapping for the integer value specified earlier to its validator processor, something as following
    <pipelinechain name="validatePaymentGroup" transaction="TX_REQUIRED" headlink="dispatchOnPGType" xml-combine="append">
    <pipelinelink name="dispatchOnPGType" transaction="TX_MANDATORY">
    <processor jndi="/atg/commerce/order/processor/ValidatePaymentGroupByType"/>
    <transition link="validateCashPG" returnvalue="5051"/>
    </pipelinelink>
    <pipelinelink name="validateCashPG" transaction="TX_MANDATORY">
    <processor jndi="/atg/commerce/order/processor/ValidateCash"/>
    </pipelinelink>
    </pipelinechain>
    3) Create a new ValidateCash component and its class(which implements a pipeline processor) and in this simply return the SUCCESS code, or put any validation logic that you want to put for validating your new cash paymentGroup.
    This would solve the the current error you are getting,
    and If the PaymentManager, PaymentPipeline(The new createCahInfo and ProcessCash processor etc),OrderTools component etc have been confgiured properly for your new payment group then you should be able to submit the order.
    Thanks

    I have not had any experience in getting any devices repaired so I'm not sure which store to resort to. An official Apple store should more than likely get you what you need, but I'm guessing it's probably more expensive. (if any cost for your situation)
    I hope you get your problem resolved.

  • My iTunes is not allowing me to view my HD movies/TV shows because they aren't HDCP authorized.

    I have the most recent version of iTunes and its not letting me view my videos because they aren't HDCP authorized. This just started about two months ago.

    That massage usually means that iTunes can't find the actual movie file. Does the move play in iTunes? If not then delete the move and redownload by Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS

    Hi All
    I have already gone thru lot of links, So appreciate if i can have some solution
    I have 3 servers A, B and C . A and B are in same domain and C is in different domain. and I am sysadmin in all 3 servers and all have trusted connection with each other
    1. All have tcp and named pipe enable
    2. All 3 servers and all services including browser are up and running
    3. When i connect any sql server from any Server using SSMS i am able to connect and  (net_transport, auth_scheme = TCP , NTLM).
    Now i create linked server at server B to Server C (C domain is different than A and B).  When i login on Server B and try to run query on C its working fine. But after remote login to server A and connect sql server at B using SSMS when
    i expand linked server to c i cant see databases and query is giving error "Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'"
    I also tried to connect to all 3 server in ssms using forced  named pipes but i am getting below error
    "provider named pipes provider error 40 - Could not open connection to sql server"
    My question :
    1. I have to use domain account to use linked server from server A to connect SQLserver B to server C, How this can be done is this related to Double hop ??
    2. Why i cant connect using forced Named pipe to any server using SSMS except local host
    Thanks Saurabh Sinha http://saurabhsinhainblogs.blogspot.in/ Please click the Mark as answer button and vote as helpful if this reply solves your problem

    Hello,
    First, it is possible to use Kerberos delegation across trusted domains.
    net_transport, auth_scheme = TCP , NTLM
    This means something isn't correctly setup as you're defaulting back to NTLM. This should read Kerberos if your SPNs were setup correctly and authenticated properly. Check the SPNs and service accounts.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc280744(v=SQL.105).aspx
    1. I have to use domain account to use linked server from server A to connect SQLserver B to server C, How this can be done is this related to Double hop ??
    To go across domains I'm not entirely sure on that part, but I can say it'd probably be easier if you did use a domain account as the service account.
    2. Why i cant connect using forced Named pipe to any server using SSMS except local host
    I'm not quite sure what you mean here. You can't connect through NP? Why the need for NP at all?

  • My Mac is a 21.5-inch Late 2009 with a 1 TB Seagate HD that must be replaced, according to Apple support, but they denied me that right because the serial is not part of the replacement program: any suggestions to get a plausible solution to this problem?

    My Mac is a 21.5-inch Late 2009 with a 1 TB Seagate HD that must be replaced, according to Apple support Panama, but they denied me that right because the serial is not part of the replacement program: any suggestions to get a plausible solution to this problem?
    I would want to know what are the criteria used by the people al espresslane support to deny the opportunity presented by the replacement program, given the situation that these 1 TB Seagate HD´s have had problems and certainly not only in the batch they accepted, but probable in other batches too.
    The second question is about the powerpc support that is lost when updating from Snow Leopard to Lion X: I can not read my medical application UPTODATE.
    I hope that there wil be some kind of support to help me solve that problem, this is my first petition actually.
    Now, I do not have access to my yahoo email, intermitent access to Apple home page, unpredictable access to Apple store and no access to iCloud in my iMac: when I try to access these web sites, the blue web address bar is interrupted and never goes to the end, no filling up the whole bar.
    I do not know what is the first problem, the Seagate HD or the Lion X, but my life is becoming a miserable one, not having the opportunity to enter in the raplacement program, losing the powerpc support because of the updating to Lion X, the necessity to buy Lion X again because it used to appear as a paid program, but not anymore, and finally having no access to my yahoo email, Apple home website and Apple store and no access at all to the iCloud: I am done.
    Chao, Elías.

    You can have Apple or a competent service shop replace the internal HD for a fee, unless you have AppleCare and the iMac is within its warranty period in which case it will cost nothing. If you must pay the cost will be approximately $350 US.
    PowerPC support is gone with Lion. You can install or retain Snow Leopard on another partition, and boot Snow Leopard as necessary.
    The inability to load web pages is a different problem, unless it is related to your failing hard disk.
