Only one movie "Promethius" says not autorize to play

I have a first generation Apple TV (you know the really hot silver one you can hardly touch). I recently purchased the pre-release version (HD) and downloaded it to my computer (originally purchased ob iPad 2). I almost always make my purchases on my iPhone 4S or my iPad 2 due to difficulties getting them from my computer (Mac Mini) to my devices. Anyway with all that in mind: I have Mountain Lion 10.8.2 & iTunes 10.7 (21) installed. Every movie, TV show, song, etc plays fine with the exception of "Prometheus" in HD? JUST ONE MOVIE!
I refuse to do anything! I would rather purchase the movie over again on my computer than go through all this turmoil. It seems eventually either an upgrade to system 10.8 or iTunes will fix the bug.
EXAMPLE: I recently received an error constantly when trying to see purchases in iTunes. Went through all the threads and never was able to fix it. After a couple of upgrades it went away. Frustrating!
Let me know if anyone else has this problem?

Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.

So r u telling me that I can only look at a movie from my iTunes account on the device that it was download from. This doesn't set very well me. U should b able to your purchase movies from your cloud. Is apple working on this resolution?
There is no resolution needed, as this is not a problem.
I am saying not the device, but the Apple ID is what needs to be the same, unless the movie is rented.
If the movie is rented, it can only reside on one device at a time. But from your error message above, I don't think that is your situation.
Your error message suggests a different Apple ID purchased the movie. If you want to see it, you must use your computer's iTunes, go to Store > Authorize This Account in the iTunes menu on your computer, and have that purchaser sign in with their Apple ID and password, then sync your iPad to that computer.

I have 2 MSI 8600 GTS SLI. Only one is recognized in NOT SLI.

Hello,
Please help me.
I have 2 charts MSI 8600 GTS SLI. Only one is recognized in NOT SLI.
The ESATA_LED1 is extinguished, in SLI or NOT SLI.
The LED 1,2,3, are lit, in SLI or NOT SLI.
In SLI the switch card is in SLI Mode (x8/x8) and SLI Bridge Card is clipé: the LED6 is
extinguished, the LED4 and 5 are RED and the chart in slot PCI_E4 EAST
is perfectly RECOGNIZED.
In NOT SLI the switch card being in (not-SLI Mode (X 16) the chart in slot PCI_E4
does not appear nowhere.
Neither in the config panel, neither by the scan of Ma-config.com, nor by Everest.
And, of course, the screen connected on this second chart does not receive a signal.
The config off my pc is : http://ma-config.com/AfficherResume-19211-1.html
I thank very much for the help off receive.

- the second PCI Express x 16 slot (PCI_E4) is a special design that supports PCI Express x 8 mode only.
- the second PCI Express x 16 slot (PCI_E4) only supports to install graphics card in SLI mode.
Is this possible that one can exclusively use this motherboard only for the SLI system?.
And no for 3 or 4 screens ?
I say you a new big thanks for your respons.

Yes its only for SLi, read the second line carefully:
the second PCI Express x 16 slot (PCI_E4) only supports to install graphics card in SLI mode
My board, P6N SLi platinum, has the same, I too can only use the second slot for SLi.
Inserting a card and not using switchcard results in no show for second card.
And if I do use switchcard and use another graphicscard, say a 8600GT in slot one and a 8800GT in second slot, results in BSOD or blank screen.
Maybe someone else here knows how to use 4 screens on your P6N SLi V2, if thats what you want.

Only one epub file will not open in ADE or on my Nook. The others I downloaded will open on both and will copy to the Nook as usual.

I download epub books from Overdrive. Only one epub file will not open in ADE on my Mac or on my Nook. The many others I've downloaded will open on both and will copy to the Nook as usual. Using the latest edition of ADE. Could be a corrupted ePub file? Curiously, this is the second time I've downloaded this epub from the same site, and I had no problem the first time. It still has 9 days remaining in the borrowing period.

Forgot to make clear that on both my Mac and the Nook, attempting to open the epub causes ADE to crash.

Hello,
I am able to connect my wireless keyboard to only one mac ...not able to connect to my other mac at work after disconnecting the first one ...any suggestions please
thanks,

Hello:
You will need to delete the keyboard from the other Mac. Simply disconnecting it leaves it still paired with the first Mac.

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.

Why should the Apple TV download movies its its not authorized to play ?

Why should the Apple TV download movies its its not authorized to play ? If the Apple TV is not authorized, how come the itunes store still goes ahead to download anyway ?

You need to be a bit more specific here.
Surely you're not suggesting iTunes or AppleTv are downloading things you've not purchased and therefore not entitled to play.
If it's something you've bought then there may be an authorisation issue with iTunes, AppleTv which could be due to a glitch (reboot AppleTV) or local/distant network issues.

Only one movie not syncing?

Hi there. New to atv and love it so far. It's working quite well and only one HD download took about 45 mins but all others were less then 1 min. I have run across one problem, I use Custom Sync, which has worked great. I was watching 1 movie on my ipod touch and then transferred it back to itunes and then checked it to be sync'd to atv so I could watch the rest on widescreen. The issue it it won't sync onto atv. I have even checked the sync all in movies and it works for all movies except for this one. There's nothing different about this movie. I'm sure this is a user problem and there's something I'm not doing - any ideas?? Thanks!

Thanks for clarifying how the downloads work. I've only had my atv for a week now so it is all quite new. As for the movie, it's a purchase so I'm likely not using the "transfer" term correctly. Sorry about that! The only difference with this movie and my others was that I originally had it on my ipod touch so I didn't bother syncing it to my atv when I first set it all up. I don't think I stream anything to atv and I can't see anything except for the content that I have custom sync'd over. I only see the content I sync and I do not have the "Only show content that is sync'd" checked. Not sure why this is but everything works so I am happy either way. Just this one movie….can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

One of the pages in my website will not display the Amazon links to books I sell. Only one book, wiich is not on Amazon displays on the page. On Internet Explorer, all my books display. why?

Ever since converting my website to WordPress the "Recommended Reading" page doesn't display the book I listed that link to Amazon. Only one book linked to another website displays, but not of the Amazon Books.
This does not happen on Internet Explorer. I have asked this question last week but have not received a response.
Can you help? Go to: www.transitionexecs.com and click on "recommended reading" to see what I mean.

Replaced logic board...iTunes now says "not authorized to play music"

I had the logic board replaced in my Mac Book Pro, restored my 4GB iPod Mini, downloaded iTunes 7.4, and now, when I try to sync with the iPod, I get a message that says that I am not authorized to play any of the music on this computer. I've authorized the computer via Store-->Authorize Computer and have only 2 of 5 computers authorized. I'm wondering if iTunes is seeing my MacBook Pro as a new copmputer because it has a new logic board. I did not lose any hard disk content, so I'm wondering what else the problem could be. Anyone have any ideas on how to approach this? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ethan

Almost certainly. Check out the customer service article.

Purchased Music won't go to my nano- says not authorized to play

For the last 3 months - with different versions of itunes - this same error msg, "Some of the items in the itunes Library including "Song X", were not copied to the ipod "my unit name" because you are not authorized to play them on this computer. The real zinger here is that music I purchased prior to the error that used to download to the same nano and worked, is now wiped off my nano. I see the songs, but the only ones that will sync are the ones I did not purchase from itunes. Any one else with same issue or know how to fix? Thanks.

Choose Authorize Computer from the Store menu in iTunes or play one of those songs; whem prompted, provide your iTunes Store account details.

Apple TV gen 1 says Not authorized to play this content...

My apple tv gen1 has synced all my tv shows and movies, and I am unable to view the shows as it says that it is not authorized to play this content. I have tried:
reset my router
de authorized and re- authorized my computer
signed in again (although half the time it continually says that my username or password is incorrect)
I have reset my apple tv both soft and back to factory settings
I have installed version 10.4.1 of itunes on my computer
I can play all the content on my ipad, iphone and computer just not on the apple tv!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
