Only some of my videos play (FairPlay Version 2?)

I just noticed an issue where some of my purchased videos won't play, saying they're not authorized. However, other purchases (from the same iTunes/Apple ID account) do play, so the machine itself is authorized.
Following the various knowledgebase articles I made sure iTunes is up to date, tried deauthorizing and reauthorizing, and repaired my permissions, and made sure /Users/Shared exists. I also did Get Info on the affected tracks and checked the Apple ID under which they were purchased.
What I noticed was:
- all my audio tracks play
- all the video tracks that play have no FairPlay Version tag
- all the video tracks that don't play say FairPlay Version: 2.
Any idea why I suddenly can't play half my purchases?
-Rolf

You guys may wanna check if you have the latest versions of iTunes 8.0.2 and QuickTime 7.5.7
I have FairPlay 1, 2 and 3 contents and they all play fine.
Check with iTunes customer service support if you still can't play the contents properly even you have the latest software.

Adobe TV is openning but it is playing only some of the videos.

I am unable to see the videos of "Building a data driven Flex application" module of day 1 . Moreover it is not playing a single video of day 2. I did not check for further days.
Thanks,

That sounds as if whoever created the PDFs was using software in a trail or demo mode, and it added a watermark as a result. There's nothing that you can do to remove it in Safari.

Purchased an album from iTunes, only some songs from it play on iPod

I purchased the album 'And One - Bodypop' from the iTunes store and listened to it a few times in iTunes a few times with no problems.
Playing the album on my 2gen nano is a different story though. Tracks 1-7 and 12 play correctly but the others skip past quickly. They display the correct track length but skip past without pausing more than half a second.
I deleted the songs from my iPod and copied them over again, same problem. Copied them to my girlfriend's nano and she has the same problem as well.

First, I would suggest that you try restoring your iPod (although it sounds like it might be a problem with your iTunes or the files themselves).
For info on restoring and iPod, see this:
Restoring iPod to factory settings
Also, check out the possible solutions in this article, and see if it helps with your issue:

Even when i have updated version of adobe flash player, some sites do not play video

Hi,
Even when i have updated version of adobe flash player and active x from adobe.com, some sites do not play the video. A request box, install the plug in comes. When i click it, it again tries to install the same version of adobe, which i have already downloaded. it is only for some sites.
May be it is because, it is site problem? How to overcome it

ActiveX is part of the Windows operating system. Plus the ActiveX version of Adobe Flash is for Internet Explorer. Other browsers need their own version of Flash' Firefox needs the Plugin version of Flash.
If you go to the Adobe website to download Flash while using Firefox, Adobe will provide the correct version of Flash automatically. Just make sure you de-select any other programs that Adobe may want to stick you with before you actually download Flash. Then close Firefox and run the Adobe Flash installer.

I am using FC Express HD, and for some reason, when I export a Quicktime movie, the final movie will only play audio, and the video is black. I only get the actual video if I export as self contained, or if I exportusing quicktime conversion. Why?

Why do some videos play fine on Facebook while others have only audio with a green screen?

Hi,
Green screens are almost always indicative of a video driver issue. Could you please post the contents of your "Display Devices" section after generating a DXDiag report?
What is a Dxdiag report and how do I run one?
I suspect you might have an out of date video driver. This FAQ can help you learn the steps required to update:

Finally, if the driver update does not help, try disabling hardware acceleration using the steps outlined here:

Some of my video files only play for a five second duration in QuicktimeX.

A few video files I have only play the clip for five seconds, but when I play the same exact clips in VLC they work, it is only 3 or 4 video files, but it is a problem, also when you see the little video icon, you see the video, for the ones that only play for five seconds, you see blotches, and a grey picture. Is there any way to fix this problem? The file format is in .avi

When trying to play open the inspector (CMD + I) and mention what the codecs are.
Install (free) Perian 1.2

Fairplay Version 2 protected files not playing

Recently got a 32gig 3rd generation Touch and noticed some older music and videos I bought through iTunes won't play. Videos say they cannot be played. Music just refuses to start, if I press play it pauses itself. Newer music and videos bought through iTunes store and my own recordings work fine.
The only thing that everything that won't play has in common is that under info they list "Fairplay Version: 2" Everything that does not list a Fairplay version will play. Wikipedia says that Fairplay is the old protection Apple used to use. I can upgrade the songs through iTunes to the non protected version (for $.30 each), but I can't seem to fix the videos.
3rd gen Touches don't recognize Apples old DRM? Can this be fixed? Anyone else notice this?

I am having the same problem with AppleTV and Itunes not playing Fair Play version 2 content after upgrading to Windows 7 So far Support for the ITunes store has not come up with a solution. I am very concerned since I have a significant amount of content that is affected by this problem. I haven't checked yet whether my Ipod's will play this content but will now. However, rebuying the content as the earlier post suggests is not an option since the content affected - TV seasons - equates to roughly $500 in purchases.

Video plays out of sync with Flash version 11.6.602.180 in Firefox

I've been receiving multiple reports that some videos plays out of sync with Vimeo's Flash player in Firefox, but not in other browsers (with the same version of Flash installed). Disabling/enabling hardware accelerated decoding does not seem to make a difference. Any ideas as to what might be causing this issue?

This could be multiple issues, but the first thing that comes to mind is the protected mode feature in Flash Player for Firefox. We've made significant improvements in our 11.7 beta and I'd recommend giving this a try:
3/19/2013 - Flash Player 11.7.700.146 Beta
If that doesn't help, or you can't update to the beta version, try the steps outlined in this post:
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
In particular, I'd recommend temporarily disabling protected mode (for troubleshooting purposes only) to see if that addresses the issue.

TS1717 iTunes freezes up only when I try to play a video or movie trailer

my iTunes has been performing perfectly...but all of a sudden today, my iTunes on my Windows 7 PC, completely freezes up ..but only when I try to play a video or movie trailer. Any tips?

Error coming up states " warning some of the videos in your iTunes library including video "Dora" were copied to the iPad "ellen's iPad " because they cannot be played on this

I purchased tv shows for my son over 4th of July weekend from iTunes on my iPad...he has been watching with no problem...yesterday I backed up my iPad and the videos were taken off while I was syncing it. Error coming up states " warning some of the videos in your iTunes library including video "Dora" were not copied to the iPad "ellen's iPad " because they cannot be played on this iPad was not copied because the video format is not supported by the iPad.....makes no sense since he watched the video on Friday on my iPad...I went into the properties of the video and under the summary tab states kind of video is mpeg-4video file...went into the folder on my pc and the file is listed as a m4v file...under the tab tv shows when my iPad is connected I have it checked to sync tv shows and to automatically include "all" episodes of "all shows" ....
I am using version 4.3.4 on my iPad and iTunes version 10.4 ...I even restored back to the original settings and still did not work....called apple twice yesterday and spoke to 2 different people and no one could help me.....I am able to load a movie from my pc to my iPad with no problem and the movie is a mpeg-4video file....totally clueless...

I kept having a similar problem - 3 out of the 10 videos I had on iTunes wouldn't sync. They were in the right format and I KNEW they worked on my iPod because I'd RECORDED them on my iPod. I finally figured out what to do! Go to the movies in your iTunes library. Click on one that does not sync. Click on "Advanced" at the top of iTunes and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version". Once that's finished, be sure you delete the old version so you don't keep getting the error (or have 2 copies of the same video) and sync. This should eliminate the problem. At least it did for me!

I can't export my video which contains only photos, sound tracks nor play it in fullscreen iMovie it shuts down. And now my whole file won't open at all it'll open with nothing inside ??

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

Live Video Plays Locally But Remotely Only Skin Is Visible

Hi Guys,
I have tested other embedded videos and they will play remotely so I know the hosting site is working.   Can anyone please look and tell me what I can try to make the vid work?   Currently, the live video will play locally and remotely from this computer where all the files are stored but only the skin is visible on any other remote computer's web browser.
I will post any info you ask for.   I have been working on this forever.   Please, someone who is good at this help me?
Here are my files look (I can't figure out how to blow this up larger - can you see it?):
I will try whatever you suggest.

The Adobe Dreamweaver Tech Support said to post here and that the Expertise Team (you I suppose) would figure it out. I am running Windows 7 64-bit OS.
My live video is being broadcast by Adobe Flash Media Encoder to Adobe Flash Media Server 4 and inserted into Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver Support watched me re-create the Flash file and import into Dreamweaver and we looked at it for hours together. In the end, they suggested I post here because we could not figure it out / it is not supported. Ideas?   Can I provide any other helpful info?

Most likely it's a URL problem. What the player is looking for is the remote URL to the server... not "localhost" or some other address on your local machine.
So when you config the Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder, there is a dialog box asking for FMS URL:
Your remote URL will look something like this:
rtmp://76.192.182.133/my_streamer
where the protocol is rtmp, the Web address is the address of your host server and the name of the application you are using to do the streaming is the last part of the address.
Of course this means that you will need to have an application already residing on the server, it's not enough to just have access to a Flash Media Server, you also need an application to do the streaming.
The next important part is to give your stream a name, it can be whatever, but this name will be used on the Web page.
something like:
Stream: test_stream
With those settings, here is what a Web page would look like:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<title>Streaming Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id='mediaspace'>
<script type='text/javascript'>
    var so = new SWFObject('player_new.swf','mpl','500','410','9');
    so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
    so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
    so.addParam('wmode','opaque');
    so.addVariable('image','live_intro.jpg');
    so.addVariable('file','test_stream');
    so.addVariable('bufferlength','10');
    so.addVariable('streamer','rtmp://76.192.182.133/my_streamer');
    so.write('mediaspace');
</script>
</div>
</body>
</html>
that's the entire page, just copy and paste into a new html doc in code view.
See where the variable 'file' is the name of your stream 'test_stream'
And the variable 'streamer' is the URL of your host FMS with the application name at the end of the address.
This is working code from the JW Player using swfobject 1.5 (notice the call to swfobject in the <head>).
There is also an image (make it 500 x 410 or whatever size you set your player to) that sits in front of the player until someone click the play button.
So to make this work, you need 3 files, the JW Player itself, the swfobject file, and a thumbnail for before the Live streaming starts.
You can download them all here from my site:
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/streaming/player_new.swfswf
I changed the file extension to .swfswf so that you can download and not have the browser open the .swf. Once you have the file, change the file extension to just .swf
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/streaming/swfobject.js
swfobject for Flash detection, also great for adding alternate content for non-Flash browsers.... but that's another story.
and an image here:
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/streaming/live_intro.jpg
download to your screen and right click and "Save Image.
Put all the files in the same folder as your new HTML Web page.
Change the FMS URL to your host URL.... I'll include a photo here:
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/streaming/streaming.jpg
That is where your URL info goes. When you click the "Connect" button, you should get a message in the "Encoding Log" tab that tells you whether the connection was successful of not.
For more info on the Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/flash/flash_media_live_encoder
You now have everything needed to properly display a Live stream... provided that is that your FMS is correctly set up and that you actually have a working, streaming application installed on the server.
One more thing:
"I even tested another embedded video just to make sure the host wasn't the issue and that video played live perfectly even remotely but my feed would not."
A Live feed is completely different from prerecorded videos. It uses a different protocol, Player configuration is different, and of course you need an actual application that streams Live video.
Best of luck! I hope you can get this going!

Weird...cd plays on mbp but only some tracks play in car cd player

really weird. all tracks are aiff files
the burned cd seems to play fine on my computer but only some of the tracks will play on my car cd player.

There seems to be an uneasy and uncertain truce between burned optical media and its players. The two best actions are :
try a different brand of media, or use CD-R instead of CD-RW. I find the "R" versions more forgiving.
use a cleaning disk to muck out the car's player. Players in cars get filthy.
