Not authorized to open videos or movies

I downloaded a movie and when I try to play it or any other videos or movies I have previously purchased says I am not authorized!

Have you authorised your second computer to play your purchases, do the songs and videos play in iTunes? If you have then try deauthorising the computer and authorising it over again: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • I am being blocked from my "favorites"on my iPad 2 with the following....... You are not authorized to open this file. What do I need to do

    I'm being blocked from my favorites on my iPad 2 with the following........... You are not authorized to open this file. What do I do?

    I'm not sure whether you have tried the "usual" things:
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Command+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    * Firefox menu > Preferences > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * classic Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Any difference?

  • You are not authorized to open the form ORA-01403: no data found

    Hi,
    I have created a new Oracle 10g forms. It compiles sucessfully but when it is opened it gives a error message : You are not authorized to open the form ORA-01403: no data found.
    I am already connected to database. Can anyone please help what is the reason for this issue and any possible resolution?

    Sounds like you have some kind of security enabled.  However, because you didn't share the details about your environment or what you are doing there isn't much we can do is guess.
    Exactly which Forms version are you using?
    Exactly which database version are you using?
    Are you using anything like Oracle E-Business (e.g. template.fmb)?
    Did you create the form with Oracle Designer?
    If you create a simple form using only the DataBlock and Layout Wizards against the Oracle demo schema (SCOTT), does this form run?
    Any additional details outlining what you are doing or have already done might be helpful.

  • Itunes says my computer is not authorized to play videos

    I know this is a problem that Apple is aware of. I have tried several ways and I cannot get my iMac to play the videos I have purchased. I get an error message saying the computer is not authorized, but when I try to authorize it I get a message telling me it already is authorized. I think the only thing I haven't tried is going into the Terminal and following the instructions Apple gives, but I am not comfortable doing that as I know I can mess up the computer if I do it wrong. iTunes will play my music but not my TV shows.

    Hello calliesmom
    Try deleting the SC info folder in the article below and the Authorize your account again that way you are not doing anything in terminal that would make you feel uncomfortable

  • Apple TV not authorized to view that rented movie

    OK. I just got my new Apple TV or iTV as I like to call. I am so excited and I tried to rent a movie. WOW, it really has been a problem. I have the movie on my ATV and I go to play it and it tries to authorize for a couple of seconds then then tells me that the ATV is not authorized to view the movie. I tried to check the support for information.
    I tried to go to store, check purchases.
    I tried to authorize the ATV.
    I am using my timecapsule network, wireless and have logged in to both the internet and my apple ID.
    I also decided to use the shared deal instead of actually transferring, thought that might be the problem so I changed it, both give me the same problem.
    PLEASE Help, My family is waiting!

    I recently hooked up my ATV to my network (with an Ethernet cable not wireless). It worked great..allowed me to purchase music, purchase tv shows, and synced great with my iTunes on my mac book. I can browse YouTube, watch movie previews. The problem is when I rent a movie the ATV will allow me to rent the movie...iTunes charges my credit card..i can even download the movie but when I try to play the movie i get the message "Your Apple TV is not Authorized to play this content." I spent two hours on the phone with Tech support and emailed back and forth with iTunes support with no resolution. I really don't think anything is wrong with the ATV but who knows. I even hooked the ATV directly to my modem (Charter Cable is my ISP) and got the same results. Very frustrating.

  • "Not authorized" to upload videos to 30GB iPod

    I just switched my iPod from syncing with one G5 to another. I was able to upload most music but some songs (all purchased via iTunes) said that I am "not authorized to play these songs on this iPod." Then, none my tv shows/videos will upload because "these videos cannot be played on this iPod." I have the updated 1.2 firmware and iTunes 7.0. Why won't purchased music and video upload to my iPod?

  • Opening video and movie files

    When I try to open movie or video files text edit opens instead of a media player. I've looked at QuickTime info and it is supposed to support these kind of files. What am I doing wrong or not doing right?

    File types are determined by the file extension (characters in the name that appear after the final dot or period, as in .mov) and by file metadata (informations that is either stored in the file or a desktop database). You can change your preference on which files should be opened by which applications with the following steps:
    1.) From the Finder, select any example of the file type in question.
    2.) Press command-I (or the menu item File -> Get Info).
    3.) Mid-way down the Get Info panel look for the "Open With..." pop-up menu.
    4.) From that menu select the application you want to use to open the file type selected in step 1.
    5.) Select the Change All... button
    6.) Confirm your selection.
    That should do it. One warning, however, just make certain that the application you choose can really open the file type you selected in step 1. Otherwise, you may have problems when trying to open the document.

  • Is there something to download to make videos? ..and not able to open videos

    This is probably a really stupid question, but I did a search and I can't find an answer. When I call CS they just tell me that the phone isn't set up to record videos and that they dont know why I cant open them either. Basically I have a few friends that also have curves and they can make videos and send/recieve them.  I have a video spot in my media section, its like a film roll, if I click on that I get no option to make a video, if I hit the bb button n go to options theres still no option to make videos.. I know its not a big deal.. but I miss that feature from the phone I had before. I have the whole package thing from At&T .. and I cant open messages that people send me that have a video.. I just get this message saying there is not enough space, I have a micro sd card in the phone. I'm at a loss of what to do, and CS is of no help at all... If its as simple as downloading some software thats awesome! Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions! ... oh I did find one thing about software to download but it would void the warrenty.. I'm on my fourth phone this year.. lol so if it voids it I dont care.. I get a different model next time around. =)

    Yes... copy the file to the other laptop via a flash drive or similar method.

  • I am unable to use my library situated on my local network because Ii's locked or I am  not authorized to open

    I unable to open my IPhoto library on my hard disk (Time Machine); the message is that im not autorized or yhe library is locked.
    What can I do to correct this problem?

    Are you connecting wirelessly?
    A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries. 
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. 
    Regards

  • Audio not in synch with video when mov files played in QT 7.6

    When I play .mov files stored in an iPhoto 08 photo library, the audio is not in synch with the video. People's lips move and the audio comes out a second or so later. This is a relatively new problem, and I don't have the same problem when I play .avi files. A couple weeks ago, the audio and video were good and they were synchronized. The video in the .mov files is also choppy. The video plays for a few seconds, briefly pauses, and then starts again.
    Appreciate any suggestions.

    I'm not sure this is the issue. The video files were never in iMovie. Only imported into the iPhoto libaray from my Kodak M1033 camera. A few weeks ago, I did not have an issue with .mov files playing smoothly. Perhaps there was a recent update to QT?
    When I upload the .mov clips to Flickr (www.flickr.com) or YouTube, they play just fine, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

  • My iPad will not let me open or play movies I bought on iTunes

    I rented a movie from the iTunes store and as I was watching it, it stopped and wouldn't let me play. Then I bought another movie and it stopped in the beginning and wouldn't continue playing. I exited out of the movie and tried to go back into the videos and when I clicked on the videos all I got was a black screen and it will not work. I reset all my settings and restarted the iPad 2. How do I fix it?

    Then have you tried log out and access your iTunes again, and try resync the movies again?

  • HT203180 Why am I not authorized to sync videos?

  • HT4095 CANNOT OPEN This content is not authorized.

    CANNOT OPEN This content is not authorized - I have downloaded many movies in the past through iTunes. This time I get this message and I have been unable to play two movies while on vacation. And this is the message I get :-( The only difference is an upgrade to the newest operating systems. Please help ! Thanks !

    So on a final note on this issue, Apple called me back as promised however it was an automated message not the person I dealt with previously, so all they did really was to save me from dialing their number as I had to explain myself all over again.
    They kept sending me "higher" to the next "senior" advisor who I thought would have more technical expertise than the one previous but this was not the case the last person I spoke basically told me (after making stupid excuses and trying to justify the issue because I was using "legacy" devices) that there was nothing he could do for me except to document the issue.
    Thats's strike 1 Apple....2 more and you're out!!

    did you use your sons Apple ID..?  If so... those items are tied to that Apple ID.
    If your issue is with the Authorization of your New Mac...
    On your Computer... Open iTunes...  
    If you're using iTunes 11 click on the box icon in the top-left corner to see the " Show Menu Bar "  
    and from the Menu Bar select Store...
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.
