Play m4v Movie on the Touchpad

I copied an m4v movie from my iTunes library to my Touchpad.  The movie won't play.  I can see it in the Pictures area, I see that the length of the movie is 1hr45min, but when I click on it to play, nothing happens other than a progress bar with a Pause button, 00:00 on the left and 00:00 on the right of the bar.  I can click Pause, Play flashes for a second, and Pause comes up again.
Can you help?
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

Apple was reasonably generous with its DRM restrictions–allowing you to play your purchased movies on up to five computers, burn it to CD, and play it on an unlimited number of iPads, iPods and iPhones–but what if you’re playing with an non-apple slab instead of an iPad?
You can still put the iTunes movies onto an non-apple tablet like TouchPad, but will be told by your tablet that it can not play them due to protections.
So if you want get your iTunes Videos ported over to the HP TouchPad, just remove DRM portections with "ChewTune"-a DRM removal software.

  • ITunes is telling me to install Quicktime to play my movies, but the download is for Windows 7 and I have 8.  What's the solution?

    iTunes says I need to install Quicktime.  When I clicked on MORE INFO, the Quicktime download is for Windows 7/Vista.  I have Windows 8.  I can play all movies except Dirty Dancing, altho I can play the extras...  Do I need to install Quicktime?

    Either you don't have a SIM in the phone, which is required for activation, or you have a phone that was probably hacked to unlock it.
    A) Do you have a SIM in the phone?
    B) Where EXACTLY did you get the phone?

  • How do I turn my video settings on to play a movie on the tv?

    I have a red, yellow, white adaptor to connect my iPad to the tv to play movies. The directions say to turn the video output to "on" to be able to play the video on the television. When I go to video settings this is not an option. Does anyone know how I can get a video to play on the tv. I have an old tv too. So no wifi is available on it. This adaptor was working a few weeks ago when I last used it to watch midnight in Paris.

    Some videos that are purchased from the iTunes store require HDCP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hdcp) It's standard on HDMI and Blu-Ray players. If the video can't communicate with the device it's hooked up to, it will not play.
    Since the composite cable you're using can't transmit HDCP (only HDMI cables can), you won't be able to play that video. This is a video-to-video selection, made by the studios.

  • Skipping in one part when i play my movie in the dvd player

    i've created a one hour movie. in the middle it skips about ten seconds. this only happens on dvd players. a few times it didn't skip. when i rewind i can see the footage that it skips. i've tried re-capturing the footage as well as using different media. any ideas?

    Welcome to the forums.
    If it is skipping in exactly the same spot with different media, that would be a bit odd. Often, playback problems are caused by too many errors created during the burning process or caused by bad media. Sounds like you've eliminated the media problem (Vebatim is often recommended, I like Sony also). To address burning problems, save your iDVD project as a Disc Image (a virtual DVD). You can play/check this file, and then copy it to actual media using Roxio Toast or Apple's Disk Utility. It's often recommended to burn at slower speeds to reduce errors; I go as low as 2x and don't have any problems.

  • Can I stream music from my itunes and play a movie at the same time?

    I have an Apple TV hooked up to both an audio receiver and my TV with HDMI and optical cables. Can I stream a Netflix movie and also music from itunes (on a Macbook Pro) at the same time, so the audio and video content don't match?

    No.

  • Can you play a movie from the cloud without downloading?

    I previsouly was able to stream movies and tv shows from the cloud without downloading.  Is this still possible with the new IOS?

    You should be able to. I don't have any IOs devises with me at the moment, but try this.
    From your IOS device go to iTunes/Purchased. Look for shows that are not downloaded and you should be able to stream them.

  • How can I play a movie in iTunes mini player?  (Progress bar button broken?)

    It took forever to figure out how to get iTunes to even OPEN a new window for movie playback, but once I finally found instructions (click the button with movie art to the left of the progress bar to open in new window) they only partially worked.  A new window opens, but movie playback continues in the main window.  The new window shows a freeze frame of the scene displayed at the moment I clicked the progress bar button.  The new window looks just like the mini player, and its control buttons work, but they effect the main window's movie playback not the new window/mini player where I want to watch the movie.
    Is it my progress bar that's broken?  I'm all updated with iTunes version 11.1.5.  Does this version not play well with my OS X 10.6.8?
    Ultimately I just want to be able to play a movie in the mini player while using other applications; surely that's possible.
    [Also, on the "Operating System" dropdown menu below, I just selected OS X 10.6.8 and then the dropdown showed "No operating system selected" and the selection arrows no longer work.  Any ideas what happened?  My MacBook Old feels so janky right now.]

    I think I solved the problem.....In Itunes, I had my iphone set up to update VIA wireless...Itunes scans and constantly searches..which was causing the video to freeze up...when I disabled or disconnected the iphone, I no longer have issues.
    If anyone else is....Disable any devices (ipads, Iphones, ipods)  that might be connected to itunes using the wireless method.

  • Play QT mov in document window

    Please, can somebody tell me how to play a .mov in the
    Dreamweaver8 document window. Working on MacOSX, Quicktime
    installed. DW keeps saying 'The plugin failed to initialize'.
    Preview however works well in Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer
    for Mac

    However, the plug-in cannot be installed as it was intended for an earlier version of the software I am running.
    You have three basic options:
    1) You can manually trasfer the component from a previous installation on another system,
    2) You can try the Squared-5 lion installer utility that comes in the MPEG Streamclip v1.9.3b7 beta download to install the component in the incompatible installer package, or
    3) You can use Pacifist to install/extract and manually install the QT MPEG-2 Playback component in the incompatible Apple installer package.

  • Playing purchased movies

    Am I able to play purchased movies through the cloud as opposed to using all the space on my ipad?

    With iOS 7 you should have a Settings > iTunes & App Store > Videos option (under 'show all' heading) which you can set 'on' so that films and TV programmes that are in the cloud will show in the Videos app (films and/or TV programmes can't be redownloaded in all countries so they might not show in Videos, and if the rights-holders remove them from the store then they also won't show) - they will have a cloud icon on them. That will allow you to stream them, but you may also find that they take up space on your iPad whilst they are being streamed, in which case you should be able to then delete them from your iPad's storage via Settings > General > Usage > Videos

  • Safari cannot play a movie from Apple's site

    Hi All,
    I was actually quite a bit surpriesed that Safari cannot play a movie from the Apple's web-site itself...! It is nothing special - just the 4S TV add with Santa Clause. The same link is working fine with Chrome.
    Any ideas? I guess it is some sort of Preferences settings?
    Merry Christmas!
    Bojidar

    Might be a Safari extension preventing the video from loading.
    Go to your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
    If youi have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
