Puchased Songs/Movies Won't Play: Does not recognized authorization

I just purchased some songs and a movie on iTunes; When I try to launch the song and movie, I am being prompt with warning that machine is not authorized and to approve authorization. This machine is authorized.
I attempted to deauthorize-reauthorize as well as follow additional steps of doing a Disk Permissions Repair.
Any ideas ? Thank you in advance!

Hello,
There is a post a few days newer than this one in the itunes store discussions here
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1811391&tstart=0
where people had tried the suggested fixes in the support pages for itunes and authorization. I have the same problem. I tried all the fixes and am waiting for a reply from itunes store support, but in that other thread the only things that those people said worked was completely reinstalling itunes. I haven't done that yet but likely will! I did an archive and reinstall and had problems; in the support pages they say that you should first deauthorize if you are going to reinstall the system and then authorize again after installing (I didn't know so didn't do that).
hope this help,
charles

  • My movie won't play even when I authorize-repeatedly

    I have never had trouble playing movies before. I just purchased one and i tunes is requesting authorization repeatedly and still not playing the movie.

    Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country. If not or it's a rental, click here and fill out the form.

  • Hello, do you know that when you play a song skips or returns and does not play properly?

  • When I ask Siri to play a song it goes to the song but won't play the song

    when I ask Siri to play a song it goes to the song but won't play the song.  The song shows when I open the music app, but the bar does not move and there is no sound.  Even if I hit pause then play nothing happens.  If I go back to the playlists and select another playlist or song then music plays.

    After doing and changing EVERYTHING on that page, I ended up re-installing Quicktime by itself and finally that solved the problem. Thank you for the advice page though, it had a lot of good information on it that related to my problem.

  • ITunes Error: Cannot play bought iTunes movie from one day to the other "The selected movie won't play on your display."

    Hi,
    just a few weeks ago I watched on my new iMac 5k Retina a long-ago-downloaded movie (iTunes content, HD, Billy Joel. Live at Shea Stadium). I had no issues watching it on the new wonderful display just a few weeks ago!
    Today I wanted to resume the video and got the error "The selected movie won’t play on your display. This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).".
    Actually the movie plays for a few seconds and then the movie window gets black and the error message appears. Restarting iTunes does not help. Restarting the Mac also not.
    How can this be fixed?
    Additionally I get since I moved from my old iMac to the new one the iTunes error "Do you want the application “iTunes.app” to accept incoming network connections?" every time I start iTunes.

    It sounds like you might actually have 4G iPod Touch or 6G Nano as the 4G Nano does not have icons.  Use this article to help you verify what model iPod you own.

  • HT1657 My movie won't play past two minutes and thirty-seven seconds. What do I do?

    My movie won't play past two minutes and thirty-seven seconds. What do I do?

    Hello Bdev15,
    I would be concerned too if the songs I purchased from iTunes were not downloading to my iPhone. You have taken some great troubleshooting steps already, and thank you for providing the details of the steps you too.  I have a few additional suggestions to get it downloaded to your iPhone.
    First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted:
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1725
    If the songs still do not download, next I recommend downloading the songs when connected to another network.  For example, if you are using the cellular network, you could switch to Wi-Fi, or you could try an alternate Wi-Fi network.  Follow the steps in the section titled "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch > Music" in the article below to download the songs:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    If you are still not able to download the songs, you can report an issue with these purchases using the steps in this article:

  • Movie won't play on computer say quicktime is incompatible

    downloaded purchased movie won't play on computer say quicktime is incompatible. I get this message for Hannibal Rising: This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes.

    First, thank you for taking the time to respond.
    This is the recorder I have: Sony DVD Recorder & VHS Combo PlayerRDR-VX515:

    The specs stated that it does record MPEG video.
    The Mac mini is a super drive w/ + & - capability. I guess I'll have to buy another recorder to get this to work.

  • IDVD autoplay movie won't play in DVD player

    My IDVD movie won't play in a DVD player when created in autoplay mode. It plays fine on my computer both in preview and on my computer's DVD player program and it works fine if I create a menu and button, just not if I create it in autoplay mode. I've tried it on my work compter and three DVD players and it won't play in any of them. Can anyone help, please?

    Hi Sue
    Thanks for responding.
    I used a 16x Maxwell DVD-R. The same kind of disc worked fine with the movie when I had a menu.
    I'm afraid I don't know what a Patchburn is.

    Hi JosefK:
    Welcome to discussions.
    Did you use a Data DVD by chance?
    It needs to be a DVD-R with iMovie 4.
    Are you using an external with Patchburn?

  • Selected movie won't play SOLVED

    I had this problem trying to play a rented movie. Got the message The selected movie won't play on one of your connected displays. My problem was with a software which is made by INFOCUS for their projector. I removed it and now the movie plays even on the projector and without the software. I have seen that solution in this forum elsewhere.

    Hello guys,
    Please note that to be able to play your purchased HD movies or videos, let us not forget some minor details. Ensure that your iTunes software is up-to-date. HD videos will only play if you have iTunes 10.6 or later as described in this article:
    iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos
    You might also want to check this one:
    iTunes for Windows: Unable to view or play HD video content that requires HDCP
    I hope this helps a lot! Good luck!

  • HT1498 My rented movie won't play, even though it shows "rented".  What gives?

    My rented movie won't play, even though it shows "rented".  What gives?

    I have a similar issue.  My Dell Latitude is running Windows Pro 8.1 and iTunes 11.1.3.8.  It looks like it's playing, but it isn't.
    Things seemed to work fine before the 8.1 update.  I fear I will have to rollback to 8.0 because the sound no longer works on the computer unless you use the headphone jack. 
    Podcasts and music behave the same way, they appear to be playing, but the timer is not progressing for them either.
    This may be the combination of 8.1 and 11.1.3.8

    Air play does not turn off album covers if music is selected or pictures if photos is selected on appleTV.  How do I un-mix them?

    So even if I download the $4.95 software upgrade it won't do that?
    Anyone know of any Apps that will do what I need?

  • In OSX 10.9, Quicktime movies won't play

    Plug-in not "visible" in list even though Quicktime is installed. In this OS, we cannot "reinstall" Quicktime because it's built into the OS. How can I get the QT videos to run inside Firefox?

    You said that QuickTime movies won't play "inside Firefox". Do they play inside Safari or when you directly access a QuickTime Movie file that's been saved on your Mac ?
    See the Firefox Support article, [[Use the QuickTime plugin to play audio and video]]. It has some test links and explains how to enable the QuickTime plugin in the Add-ons Manager, in case it's been disabled in Firefox.
    Like you say, QuickTime is built into the operating system on Mac OS so if you can't enable the browser plugin in Firefox or if it's missing, your best bet would be a Mac forum such as https://discussions.apple.com/

  • Quicktime movies won't play on Apple Website

    I formatted my HD and reinstalled Snow Leopard. Last night and this morning I was watching the videos on http://www.apple.com/business/theater/#activecorners?sr=hotnews.rss, but tnight when I went back there, the movies won't play, nor will any other movies on the entire website. All I get is a Quicktime Icon with a question mark in the middle of it. I have both Quicktime X and Quicktime Pro 7 installed, with Pro in the Utilities folder.

    After loading the AppleMPEG2.Component into the Quicktime folder in the Library, everything started working again. I'm not sure if that's what made it start working again though.
