Hi Humanbeersponge,
The message displayed is an HDCP message. The information outlined below provides further information that may be helpful.
iTunes Store movies (SD and HD) and TV shows (HD) require an HDCP digital connection such as the one provided when using the Apple Digital AV Adapter and HDMI cable. If you attempt to play this content using a non-HDCP digital connection, such as the Apple VGA Adapter, an alert will appear to let you know that an HDCP-compatible device is required. To view iTunes Store content using a non-HDCP digital connection, do one of the following:
Sync the SD version of the TV show
Use an Apple Component AV cable to play the HD version at 480p
Use an Apple Composite AV cable to play the HD version at 480i
Attempting to play rental content on a device that requires an HDCP digital connection may start the rental timer. Use one of the recommended Apple AV cables to view your rental before the time limit expires.

Stutters and logging out half way through movies

Hi all, At first I thought this was just me. I had created a couple of trailers in iMovie which played fine on everything but the AppleTV. That continuously dropped frames every second, turning smooth video into something that is jittery and unpleasant to watch.
But now it did the same thing with The Girl Who Played With Fire which I rented last night. Up until that point, rented movies have always been fine.
In addition, in both the last two films we have rented, the AppleTV has suddenly stopped playing the film at some point (about half ways through one and only 10 mins into the other) and dropped back to the menus.
Why I don't know, but the film would not be showing as ready to play and investigating the settings would so that I had been logged out of iTunes. Once I log back into iTunes, I can then restart the film and everything seems to be fine after that.
Any ideas?

Hello Ellekell,
I'd recommend deleting the movie, then redownloading it from the iTunes Store.

If you're still having trouble after redownloading the movie, you may want to report the issue to the folks in our iTunes Store.

My iPod wants to play music half way through one song and then start the next one, or pick up in the next song were the first song was at. How do I fix this?

I've had it for the past few days that when I have a album playing it will play a song half way through and start the next one, however it still shows the first song name and the time that is on there. I don't know weather it's just a glich in the iPod itself or if there is something wrong with it all together.   I've never had this problem up until a few days ago, and I really don't know what to do about it.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

HT202677 Cancel burning a long playlist into multiple Cds half way through?

How do I stop/cancel burning a playlist into multiple Cds half way through?
Thank you!!

Although iTunes supposedly has the ability burn a long playlist across multiple audio CDs, in practice the capability is buggy and error-prone, and always has been. Do not even use it. Split the playlist into individual playlists, each comfortably under 80 minutes, and burn them one at a time.

My iPod is playing songs half way through and not at the beginning?

Okay, so I will be listening to a song like "Yellow Submarine" by The Beatles and will get the urge to change the song to a different band and song half way through of listening to it. After listening to the new band and song and like a month goes by I will go back to The Beatles song and it will begin where i left off and not in the beginning like it used to. How can i fix this because it makes me mad that it starts half way through and not in the beginning?

Hello uhmcookies,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
I believe the "Remember playback position" is enabled for these songs in iTunes. This option will ensure that wherever you leave off in a song is always where it will be picked up off at. This is a nice feature for audiobook tracks, but not music.
Anyways, you can disable it by removing the check mark next to this option from under the track's Options tab in iTunes. You can access this tab by right->clicking on the track and choosing "Get Info" from the menu.
Hope this helps.

Apple TV stopping half way through movie. Got the "spinning wheel" then it said "unexpected error occurred". I can go back

Issue with Apple TV stopping have way through a movie purchased from iTunes. Says "unexpected error occurred" and will allow us to go back and view earlier parts of the movie but not to go forward from this point. Any suggestions?

Having a very similar problem here. Apple TV Rental movie 2/3 way through. Great movie, though we had major download speed probs initially. Trouble is it now keeps on saying "unexpected error, try again later" or somesuch, and has done for several hours. Rental period finishes tomorrow when we'll all be at work. Night-time here in Australia. Thought we might be able to finish it on my Mac at least. Nup. Can't play AppleTV rentals on your Mac! Family not happy! No, that is understating it. Family ^*&^ing furious. "Why did you waste money on that thing when we could have got it out on DVD, or Netflicks, or Easyflicks, or just pirated it, or.....". I guess you get the picture!

Why does a song stop playing music half way through the song and the remain part of the song is silent? It is not ever song either just mainly the ones downloaded from iTunes?

I have the last upgrade and when I listen on my computer they are complete, but when I put it on suffle only half of the song plays.

Try working through the 5 R's of troubleshooting to rule out the possibility of a software glitch or corrupted data.

Do this happen with tracks at random or only a certain subset of tracks?

Songs only play half way through and move on to next one

I have been using iTunes (10.5) on my Macbook Pro, OS 10.6.8 with no problems until this morning. When I turned on iTunes, I got a message stating that this computer was not authorized to play the song I chose. I received the same error message for all the other songs. And these were all songs that I had uploaded from my own CD collection a long time ago. So, I authorized the computer as requested by iTunes, although I thought I had done that before. Now none of the songs finish playing. The songs quit about half way through and then the next song starts. It is *extremely* annoying. Should I reinstall one of the older iTunes versions? Anyone else have this problem? I found old posts from 5-6 yeas ago but no solutions.

I am sorry to hear. Yes it's very disappointing and the fact that you can't at least re-download your purchase makes it that much more irritating haha well thank you and good luck!

Can't hear long notes when played half way through

This is probably a common problem/question.
I often have very long sections with a single continuous chord (in this instance ‘dynamic swell’ ‘extra cello sect legato’ and ‘tonewheel organ’)
My problem is that to check edits on small sections of a composition I have to go right back each time to where the aforementioned chord begins in order for it to be heard. if I put the playhead half way along the chord it doesn’t play. Is there a way that the playhead can pick up on notes half way through? I’m sure this has been dealt with dozens of times on this forum but I could only find one post from 2010 that I couldn't apply to Pro-x. Thanks!

In LPX you need to turn on the Chase functionality
This is done by going to the Project Settings menu (Not Logic's General prefs)
LPX Menu Bar > File > Project Settings > Midi > Chase tab
I have mine set up as thus...
You may not need to or wish to turn on everything I have selected.. Play around and see what works best for you and your own method of working in Logic.
The specific function for playing sustained notes half way through is the first option (Notes and Sustained)
Note: This is a per Project setting and so only applies to that project and not any others.
Therefore...
I suggest you create a new project, set up chase and then save this blank project out as a template you will then choose and open each time you create a new project from now on... You new chase settings (alone with any other settings you wish to use in every new project) will then be setup of each new project you create. For any older projects you need this functionality in... you will have to set up chase for each one and then save.

I've recently downloaded an album but some songs only play half way through and i'm no longer able to hear any audio. What can i do about this? Thanks

This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items

When I plug in my iPod and iTunes starts syncing, I get the message "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPod '___'s iPod.' Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?"
When I then click Authorize, iTunes brings up an ancient iTunes ID that I haven't used in years. I do remember the password for it, though. However, that doesn't work. It says an error has occurred. When I enter my current (and longterm) iTunes ID and password, that also doesn't work (same error message). I've tried deauthorizing my Macbook but I get another error message. Worth noting--I don't get an error message when I log into iTunes through the store.
I don't think this is a problem with my iPod. I think it's an iTunes issue. (I could be wrong of course.) By the way, all of these songs should already be authorized. I haven't made any purchases lately, and syncing these songs previously has been no problem. It appears that the songs that are causing the trouble are DRM songs that I have yet to update (purchase an update from Apple, gee thanks, Apple) to non-DRM format.
Please advise. Thanks!

This just happened to me too. I migrated my old mac to a new one. I was getting the same message "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPhone “_____”. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?". when I try to sync any ios device.
This worked for me. ALL user id's for itunes in the computer need to be authorized for every account on this machine.
When I click authorize after getting the message above I noticed that the ID that showing was for my spouses account. I actually have two itunes accounts on this machine (me and my spouse).
If you look in your itunes folder check if you have more than one itunes account. Open iTunes with the "option" key pressed. Select the other account. Sign in using your email username and password for that account. Then authorize that one. Log out, close itunes, and reopen with "option" pressed. Select your main itunes account. Sign in again with your normal ID and password.
I'm all fine now. I hope this works for you too.

When i publish the movie to youtube, the sound gets cut out half way through. help?

I'm trying to publish a short movie to youtube. It plays fine in the editing screen, but when I publish it, half way through, the sound cuts out on the video. There's still some background music that's playing, but the voices get cut out. I've tried republishing it in a different size and the sound cuts out at the exact same place. Any suggestions?

You can contact support and have them troubleshoot the songs for you.

Flash movies load 100% but don't play all the way through

I'm having some problems with my website. Out of the 8 movies
on my site, two of them load 100% but stop playing halfway through.
(Both are 30 seconds long but one stops after 10 seconds and the
other after 20.) When I preview the movies in Flash CS4 everything
plays all the way through, even when I preview in Dreamweaver as
well. But when I load everything and go to my website, they stop
playing. Is this a problem with flash, dreamweaver, or the media
encoder? Can someone please help me?
Thanks.

I am using the flv playback component in flash. I don't know
where the problem is because when I preview everything in flash all
the movies play all the way through. No matter how many times I
re-encode the .mov in media encoder it still stops at the same
place every time. I have gone back to After Effects and rerendered
the original .mov and tried again and yet it still stops in the
same place. I did have the same problem with another .flv file. I
re-encoded it and now it plays fine but the one I'm still having
problems with I have encoded 5 times and it STILL stops in the same
place.... I even watched the file in Adobe Media Player and it
plays all the way through. I don't know where the problem could
be.....

Rented movie freezes half-way through?

This has happened to me several times. A rented movie will pause about half-way through playing and then refuse to play any more. I ignored the problem before, but am working on a movie review for school and really need to get this fixed! There is no error message, the movie simply freezes and will not progress past a certain point.

1. You can only download purchased movies again for free if you live in the U.S.
2. Not all movies are available for free downloads a second time
3. Only certain movie studios allow this

I hired a movie and half way through it stopped loading so i exited the movie and it vanished, when i clicked on the movie again it asked if i wanted to rent it???

i rented a movie from the apple store off my apple TV half way through the movie it stopped like it was waiting for it start loading. i then exited the movie and went to click on it again but found that the movie was no longer there and when i clicked on the same movie it asked it i wanted to rent it, which i had just done. i would just like to know what happened here and how to fix this?

This has happened to me 3 consecutive times!!
3 movies. 3 mysterious stopages in mid movie with no fix.
If only they solved their own problems as quickly as the scoffed your money!
I have no idea how to report it.
Apple only wants to communicate with you when you want to purchase products but makes it brutaly painfull to solve problems.
They have become a pathetic, gready symbol of sloppy excess.
They WIIL fail because they forgot how deliver their products.
I was a lifelong apple user and that is over for good!
I've been ripped off by them for the last time!
There's too much competant competition out there now.
