Not playing Stored Movies

I am getting the error "apple tv itunes is currently unavailable. try again later" when I try to play my content stored in the cloud. All other functionality works. I tried restarting and airplay...

if you have read the other numerous posts on the first page you will see many more with this problem.
Most have gone through all sorts of network troubleshooting steps to no avail.
The problem lies with itunes and something with authenticating as it's there it stops.

  • DVD Drive will not play ANY movies

    I seem to have the standard drive for the 15 inch MacBook Pro (bought less than one year ago), but it simply will not play ANY movie DVD I've tried. It whirrs and whirrs but nothing happens. I've tried multiple movies and none have worked. Yet it works fine with software cd's and loading on of new programs, and burned CDs with pictures display just fine. I checked the System info on the drive and notice that the last line - which is media - had a 'no' next to it. Is it not turned on or programmed to play movies??? If so, how do I activate it? Thanks for any help.

    My MBP plays DVD and says no also, so that is not it. Sounds broken to me. Call Applecare and I do hope you paid for the 3 year Applecare. Did it EVER play DVDs?

    Did you activate home sharing in both your iTunes and ATV?
    Also try signing out of the ATV (Apple ID) and signing back in again.

    When I try to play an itunes purchased movie it says I have to authorize this computer. When I put in my log in information it says this computer is already authorized and will still not play the move. I have tried to deauthorize and reauthorize this computer, delete and reinstall itunes and Quicktime and nothing works; the purchased movies still will not play

    I'm having the same problem on my new iMac.  First it tells me it's not authorized to play the songs, then when I enter my password, it tells me it's already authorized, but still won't play them.  I tried deleting a song and going to the store to redownload it and got charged for it!  I've got hundreds of songs, so that's not going to be an option.
    In addition, I have quite a few songs from a very old Apple ID, one I forgot I even had, I have no idea what the password was and no way to have the system send me a new password because I no longer have access to that email account.
    The Mac I just "retired" could play all the songs in my catalog just fine.  This new one won't play the majority of them.
    Help!

  • TS3623 Apple TV will not play rented movies. Says it is being played on another device, which it is not. Downloaded movie via iTunes on my iMac.

    Apple TV will not play rented movies. Says it is being played on another device, which it is not. Downloaded movie via iTunes on my iMac.
    I've tried restoring the TV, updating my iTunes - nothing is working. It is definitely not playing on my computer.

    Sign in to your iTunes account settings on the computer (click on the AppleID top right if you're actually signed in).
    In your purchase list find the purchase and use the 'Report a problem' link to tell the store.
    Assume you've not moved the rental to another device where it resides but is not being played.

  • I can not play a movie downloaded from itunes.  it says not authorized

  • 10.6 will not play entire movie or tv show

    Wintel Box has the movies - running iTunes 10.6
    3 AppleTVs can not play an entire movie ( hosted on either a MacBook Pro 10.7 running iTunes 10.6 nor a Windows 7 Desktop running 10.6 )
    Either Home Sharing back to either computer running 10.6 will play an entire movie - stalls and stops
    When I bring the movie or TVShow to an iMac running iTunes 10.5.3 everything works
    all computers / appletvs have had multiple resets
    Has anyone found fix to Windows 7 running iTunes 10.6 using Home Sharing since it appears to be non functional ( here at least ) ?
    Note : iTunes 10.5.3 worked yesterday on all computers / devices

    Although it's saying "not responding' rather than "not working", It'd do no harm to try the following user tip:

  • Why does iphoto not play my movies

    I have a macbook pro. I have transferred photos and movies from SD cards that are otherwise part of my Nikon D 5100 and Panasonic TZ 40. After initially loading the photos and movies, all movies were playing as expected. However, somewhere after updating to OX 10.9.4 they have stopped playing. The icon for the movie still shows, but the time of the movie appears as ZERO. When I click to play, the movie loads begins to play but ends almost immediately.
    Currently the movies are not playing.

    Select one of the videos in iPhoto and user the File ➙ Reveal in Finder ➙ Original menu option.  Does that take you to the full video file in the Masters folder?  COPY it to the desktop and see if it will play with Quicktime Player.
    When you rebuild the library what options did you select?

  • Audio not playing in mov format K'08

    Ive seen a lot of threads but none had a solution to this.
    With the slides, I included an mp3 from within itunes
    dragged it from the media window into the documents soundtrack box
    clicked looped
    and played just fine throughout the manual presentation.
    clicked export to .mov
    checked include audio files
    when the mov plays it is silent.
    I tried one workaround, using the newly recorded audio file reimported into keynote 08 and exported again - still silent
    has anyone figured out how to get the audio to play in .mov?
    thanks

    Believe it or not, I've been having this same problem since I bought my Imac G5 a few years ago. It just happened to my MacBook Pro, as well. Along with the fact that mpg audio is gone, so is flash audio. It seems to happen every so often, usually after one of my computers hang while loading a preview for a flash movie. The problem actually seems to correct itself after a few restarts, or loading of some programs.
    In the process of writing this post, I regained support for mpg audio, and flash audio - and in quicktime player for that matter. When I started writing this, it didn't work. I dunno, quicktime is weird that way. The longest time I was without flash or mpg audio was for a period of 3 weeks. After which, it somehow was magically there again. I wish that wouldn't happen, as it usually happens at the most inconvenient times. The whole way flash is not supported through newer versions is rather irritating as well isn't it? Use SAFlash player for mac for those if you can: http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

  • IPhoto will not play portrait movies

    hi all.
    uunfortunately I am unable to play any movie that is in portrait mode. Anyone ever heard of this before? Landscape videos play fine.
    ALso. If I import them into a new library I get an error staying the file is I recognizable.
    Thanks. P

    Hi Toad,
    Thanks for the assistance.  Yes, we definitely can open the video directly.  It seems my iPhoto is having some serious trouble.  As of about two weeks ago I have been unable to load any movies into the software at all.  Usually this all comes directly from my iPhone; which I have never experienced trouble from.  All of a sudden with the new iPhone 6 any video I take will not import.  Any which way I import them, from GoPro flash card, or iPhone 6, or directly from Finder, nothing .... lame
    It turns out now that any video shot in portrait will no longer play.  I have tried everything to resolve this ...
    1. all four options in iPhoto repair
    2. new library
    3. different/new user profile
    4. terminal command to rebuild cache file
    5. upgrade to Yosemite
    6. upgrade to iPhoto 9.6 
    still nothing.  I don't have any QuickTime plugins, no Piran, or anything else .. I'm completely stumped.

  • Quicktime 7.2 will not play Quicktime Movies

    Ironic isn't it.
    I recently purchased Sony's Movie Studio and it required a new(er) verson of Quicktime to import QT movies. So I download 7.2 ( i had 7.01, if I remember correctly) and installed it. I can now import QT into Vegas for editing. Fine. Great.
    BUT, and here is the ironic part, Quicktime will no longer play Quicktime movies! Not .mov, .mp4, nothing. Zip. Zilch. But it will play some old avi files for some reason. All I get is the audio and flashing striped colors. Until 7.2 I could load any .mov, avi, mp4 file and edit them without a problem. (I forgot to mention, I had QT Pro) I was also using Any Video Converter to convert old home movies I'd burned to dvd to the mp4 format, and Quicktime worked flawlessly to open them too. Up until this "update" I've been very happy with the performance of Quicktime.
    Now, nothing but frustation and the online Support hasn't pointed to a solution. And yes, I have updated my Dell PC running XP to all the latest service packs.
    Any ideas? If I delete 7.2 I could probably re-install a version of 6 Pro that always worked, but then Vegas Movie Studio won't work. Kind of a Catch-22. Thank you for any help.

    It has helped some who have had this problem. Try dragging the QuickTime webplugin folder to the desktop in case you need to put it back and see.
