Purchases won't play on new mac

I just got a new macbook pro, and my purchases were done on some archaic account I had when I had AOL. each time i try to play my purchased music, which I transferred over from my iPhone on a 3rd party program, it says I need to authorize my new computer to play them, then brings up my old AOL account username. I somehow magically remember to password to it, but then when I enter it, it brings up a message saying "blah blah you need to update to an itunes account" and then when I click the "Update" button to do that (even though I already have an itunes account, I just don't think it's all synced up with my old AOL account), it takes me to a page titled "Let's get started" to get my apple ID. Problem becomes, every time I press "continue" it says "an error occurred. the iTunes store couldn't process your request. please try again later." but I've tried several laters, and nothing happens.
help :[ I just want access to the music I already paid $500+ for...

I used iDVD to create an IMG file
You created the video DVD, the IMG file, with iDVD and just burned it with Disk Utility. As Klaus1 pointed out Disk Utility can't create video DVDs.

My tv shows or movies that I have purchased won't play at all. It says loading, then it comes up and says authorizing. Then it says "An error has occured loading this content."

Like I said I can see all my shows and movies but just can't get anything to play. Please help me. Any suggests?

Why is the music on my iPod randomly not letting me play? all my good ones are the ones I purchased won't play, my storage is fine. I tap on the song but it skips to a completly different song on iPod but not laptop. For example both versions of Til' I Collapse by Eminem won't play on my iPod but on laptop, same with Born this Way by Lady Gaga

On my Mac (vers 10.7.5) I use Disk Utilites to burn a DVD. The DVD won't play on the Mac but will play on my Windows PC and on a DVD player. A DVD created on my PC will play on the Mac. Any ideas why this is happening?

Downloaded tv show from itunes and it won't play on my mac, just a black screen

downloaded tv show from itunes and it won't play on my mac, just a black screen

Did you burn the CD as an audio CD?
If not, that's your problem. Otherwise, without more details I can only guess. You might try a different brand of disk, or if you're using CD-RW try CD-R.

I have purchased a movie on a new Mac

I have purchased a movie on a new Mac and it is in the cloud however I can't access it on my old Mac. The older Mac does not have the right operating system to use the cloud and it doesn't appear in itune. How can iget it out of the cloud and into iTunes

I don't have iCloud but I do have an older Mac. Can you get the song off iCloud and onto your new Mac as a file? You could then reveal the location of the file with command+R and copy that file to your other Mac with a flash drive. Then add it to iTunes there. I only hope the version of iTunes there supports movie formats and authorization. You don't give us any information about the other Mac, and it is helpful to know the general hardware and operating system and iTunes versions used when asking this kind of question.

I bought a new song, but it won't play on my Mac or iPod. Everything is up to date. I need some help.

I bought a new song on itunes, but for some reason it won't play on my itunes library or Ipod. It skips to another song. Need some help on this if you can spare your time.

Hello
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

DVD drive won't play brand new store bought DVDs - makes grinding noise

I just bought my iMac last September and it was going great until the last month or so. First it started making noises when I inserted a new DVD and was slow to start, but it still worked. Then it started taking longer and sometimes rejecting the disc once - I'd re-insert and it'd be fine. Later it started rejecting more than once before it would play and now it seems to have stopped altogether and generally won't play any DVDs. I do watch a lot of movies, but even with a little more than average use it still seems a bit ridiculous that the drive would die or burn out in less than one year, right?? Has anyone else had this issue and/or resolved this issue? I'm new to Macs and haven't had to call the service people before but have heard others say they've had issues with the store service - should I call AppleCare instead? Any suggestions/tips/help would be appreciated. Thx.

It happens. Just be lucky it's still under warranty and give Apple Care a call.

Dualdisc cd side won't play on my mac mini intel core duo w Superdrive

Shakira Fijacion Oral DualDisc "CD" side will insert and then automatically reject from my Mac Mini - Intel Core Duo. The DVD side plays fine. Unfortunately iTunes not smart enough to work with DVD side. There is a query in IPOD forum about Springsteen DualDisc also failing on intel mini mac that is listed at "answered" but for the life of me, I can't tell if you are supposed to just not buy DualDisc or else take the Mac Mini back for a new drive.
mac mini (intel core duo) Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2GB RAM

Mac Mini Intel Core Duo's did not ship until 2006 which seems plenty of time for Apple to announce 'we have a problem' and what their recommended solution.
Why would they do that ? I mean, they don't have a problem. The inventors of DualDisc made a type of disc that won't play in all players, and Apple can't really do anything about it. Superdrives are not made by Apple, it's just Apple's name for a DVD burner; the Superdrives that are found in various Macs come from several different manufacturers, and although Apple probably ensures that the Superdrive and the Mac work well together, they won't test whether it works with each type of disc (usually, the manufacturer will).
However, that is probably limited to redbook/standards-compliant discs; since a DualDisc's CD side doesn't comply with any standard other than "DualDisc", and because it is not considered important enough to be officially supported by most (if not all) manufacturers, they probably won't test them since they're bound to get mixed results anyway.
Similarly I don't remember seeing a "strictly redbook only" disclaimer on any of the media available from Apple describing the capabilities of its Superdrive when I was making my mac mini buying decision.
You didn't see one because it is not required. Asking that Apple (or any other company) warns you that their players won't play non-redbook CDs is a bit like asking that they tell you everything your optical drive won't play. Apple claims that their Superdrives will read CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, DVD-R DL, which aren't only a bunch of weird-looking letters, but also correspond to a standard. When you see a CD logo on a drive, it means that it will play redbook-compliant CDs. Your Dell player simply does more that what it is supposedly capable of, but because one (or many) optical drives will play DualDisc doesn't mean that they all have to.

Itunes won't play on new air

bought new Macbook air. iTunes songs show but are grayed out and won't play. original account on old mac. how to make air priority account and allow to play songs?

Did you use Migration Assistant to move your content?
Select the folder with the tunes - do a Get Info - for that folder(s) - at the bottom in 'Sharing and Permission's - select the lock icon and unlock the folder (your admin password might be required) - set the privilege for you to Read and Write - select the gear icon - and 'apply to enclosed .......'
You should now have access to the files.

ITunes rental won't play on new computer

I rented a movie three weeks ago. Last week, I bought a new-to-me (used) computer and transferred all my content to the new machine. I have purchased iTunes Match, and all my books and music and almost everything works. But when I tried to play my rented movie on the new computer, I got a message saying it wasn't authorized to play on this computer. It's the same Apple ID and all my other content works on the new machine.
Brilliant me, I thought I would just delete it and download it again since I haven't watched it. Now it's just gone.
Any ideas? I have another rented movie still in my rentals folder, but it won't play either.
Christine Kling

Yes, I am getting the exact same message. It says:
Could not play the rental “The Cove” because it is authorized to play on another computer or device.

Firefox won't open on new Mac OS - profile cannot be found

I have a new Mac and have not been able to open FF. I just get this message: "your firefox profile cannot be loaded. it may be missing or inaccessible"
I have followed all the advice to be found. I have no Profile Manager. I have no folders in my Library, Utilities, Applications, or Users with a profile.ini I can't find any folders or documents anywhere with Firefox or Mozilla other than the application itself...which won't open.
I removed Firefox from my computer entirely, reinstalled, restarted the computer - everything. I still get this message.
Would appreciate some useful advice.

Restoring a previous version of the profiles.ini file won't help because this is about the profile folder that is registered in profiles.ini is missing on that hard drive,
The most likely cause is a problem with the profiles.ini file and the profile marked as Default=1 in this file is no longer present on the hard drive.
*Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/
*Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
*Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\<br>C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
You can use one of these to make Firefox create/use a new default profile:
*Delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
*Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
*Use "Choose Folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile

How do I fix? Flash videos like YouTube won't play sound on MAC OSX 10.5.8

Sound won't play on YouTube and other flash web based videos on my MAC OSX 10.5.8 So I installed the most recent version of Adobe Flash Player and it still doesn't work. I uninstalled and reinstalled adobe flash player. Nada. I updated my computer software and firmware. Still nothing. I checked my sound and apple movie trailers play just fine. Please assist.
Thanks so much!!!!
Oh, I have tried to play videos in both Safari and Firefox. No sound in both.

Yay!!!! My business partner @goodbadtech (on twitter) fixed it. Apple repair fixed it. Just got it back this morning. Then I updated Adobe flash as Mozilla asked me to do and the sounds disappeared again! Was so frustrated. But Spencer found this link and that saved the day :-)

FCP won't launch on new Mac Pro Tower

I just got a new Mac Pro Tower and installed Final Cut Studio, but Final Cut Pro won't launch. It just hangs on the opening splash screen and I can't even force quit out of it. Same thing happens if I try to open an FCP project. I have run all the updates, trashed prefs, etc.
Any ideas?

OK....so I think I found the problem even though it makes no sense to me. It seems that if I have my DVCam deck (which is connected via a 4-pin firewire to 9-pin firewire cable) powered on while I try to launch FCP, it causes FCP to hang on the splash screen. If I turn the deck off, and launch FCP, it launches perfectly.....and it continues to work after I power the deck on. Very bizarre behavior but I have tested it about 5 times now and it works fine when the deck is powered off and hangs when the deck is powered on. Anybody else have a simliar issie?
