Suddenly my Mac refuses to show HD movies

Hi everyone,
would be very grateful for ideas:
As of today, my Macbook iTunes refuses to start HD movies; "the movie cannot be shown on this monitor"?? No idea what happened since yesterday!
Thanks for your help

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV should set it's time automatically from the network time server, if it isn't doing this try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a 30 seconds, if this fails try resetting or restoring it.

  • Suddenly my macs will only show some webpages

    google.com is ok. apple.com wont show.
    My windows laptop works fine on the same network.

    I just want to repeat what an earlier poster wrote about a possible fix for this problem. I too had the same problem. I had a DVD that was stuck and would not eject. When I tried to restart I would get the grey screen and it would try to load the CD, then it would continuously spin the disc up and down and OSX would not load.
    I called AppleCare and they had my try all the usual fixes (hold down trackpad button while booting, hold down CommandOption+PR while booting, doing a system Reset, etc, etc). None of these worked. Eventually the guy told me that I had to bring it in to an AppleCare shop to get the disc removed.
    I refused to accept this so I just left the computer sit with a grey screen for about 10 minutes and it eventually booted to OSX. The disc would still not eject but after pressing the eject button and waiting another 10 minutes or so, it just came out.
    SO THE BOTTOM LINE IS:
    Before trying to shake your macbook and sticking things in the slot (which could void your warranty) and before taking it in for service, let it sit for a while and you may be surprised to see what happens!!

  • I have an external hard drive that I have been using for years.  All of a sudden my mac will not recognize the external as a "save as" device location.  But the external does show up on my desktop and I can open it to drag and drop items. Help.

    Hi,
    Check Finder>Preferences>Sidebar, is it checked there to show external drives?

  • How do i show a movie from my mac to the television?

    how do i show a movie from my mac to the television?

    Hello there, kojak100.
    The following Knowledge Base article goes over how to sync content to your iPad:
    iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1296
    This section may prove useful:
    USB syncing
    Open iTunes.
    Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable and click the device button in the upper right corner. (If you are viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper right corner. The device button will then be visible.) Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcasts tab will not appear.
    You can configure the different content types in each tab. For example, movies under the Movies tab.
    To sync, click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

    Well, if the internal hard drive  is no longer readable, there's pretty much nothing anyone here can do about it. There are no magic words that will fix a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the genius bar and have it looked at.

  • Why does it take hours to upload a tv show or movie purchased on iTunes all of sudden?

    Why does it take hours to upload a tv show or movie purchased on iTunes all of sudden?

    Would be due to your network
    Check speedtest.net to verify current speed
    Check istumbler.net or netstumbler to verify any interference
    Make sure you are using ISPs DNS (settings - network - configure DNS - automatic)

  • Editing/adding track info for tv shows and movies in iTunes 12.1 for Mac.  Does anyone know how to do this?

    iTunes 12.1.0.50
    late 2012 iMac running OS X 10.10.2
    I can no longer edit or add the track information for tv shows and movies.  If, for example, there are 26 episodes of a tv show in a season and I want to edit their entries in iTunes to reflect 1 of 26, 2 of 26, 3 of 26, and so on, how do I do that?  With the 12.1 update, they took away the old info box.  Very irritating.

    The use of the right clicking while holding down the Option key for the "old" info box worked through iTunes 12, but when 12.1 came out, that option went away.
    So edit the info with a proper tag editor (before you even add it to iTunes).
    Use -> MetaZ and/or -> Subler to edit movies/TV shows.

  • External drive refuse to show up in network

    I have just bought a Verbatim 3TB external harddrive (http://www.verbatim-europe.co.uk/en_1/product_store-n-save-superspeed-usb-3-0-de sktop-hard-drive-3tb_9566_0_35770__12692.html?con=39)
    It works fine plugged directly into my retina laptop but refuse to show up when plugged into my (brand new) airport extreme. I have other externals that works perfectly with the extreme and I tried to the best of my ability to format the verbatim with the same standard (GUID and Mac OS Extended).
    How can this be? Are some brands of external drives just incompatible with the airport extreme?

    Thanks a lot Niel,

  • How do i take old (deleted) tv shows and moves off of apple tv

    I just got apple tv. I have downloaded a lot of TV shows and movies on my mac, which I have deleted over time. Now I find them all on my apple TV, which clutters it frankly. How do I get rid of these old shows?

  • Some of the newer shows and movies on my IPAD 2 show "cannot open content not authorized"

    All of my library plays on my MAC and Apple TV, but some of the newer shows and movies on my IPAD 2 show "cannot open content not authorized" . If I download them directly to my IPAD they will play. iPad and MAC are all up to date. I have restarted the IPAD 2 and MAC multiple times.

    I have the opposite issue. I play my tv shows and movies on itunes off my computer but all I get is the audio. The picture shows up in flashes every couple of times but does not stay on. I have the most recent Itunes (7.6.1)available and am running Windows Vista. Any help available?

  • Mavericks + Quicktime and forced subtitles in TV Shows and movies

    I have noticed that when I now open a TV Show or a movie from my external drive (M4V files) forced subtitles will not show. They don't even appear in the subtitles menu so I can manually enable them.
    I usually use Subler to edit my shows and movies' metadata and add SRT subtitles after I download them. This has worked flawlessly in my Mac and my iPhone until I updated to Mavericks, so it must be related.
    However, if the subtitle track is not checked, Quicktime automatically enables it (I suppose that's because default audio in OS X is Spanish but the audio track in the file is English). I'm not sure if VLC has changed its behaviour too (That would be strange, but forced subtitles don't appear either).
    I have over 355 GB of TV Shows and about 2,1 TB of movies that I wouldn't want to edit, so is there any solution to this, like a hidden preference I hae not found yet? Thanks in advance!

    You can also spend a few days searching for "creating custom screen graphics for movies." Try youtube but you wil lfind better stuff on vimeo. Many fo the motiongraphics forums have discusssion areas where artists will share their methods. Lopok carefully for behind the scenes features and docos created by the artists.
    However, After Effects is only where the animation happens. You design and previsualize your effects in other applications. Well, there are some fabulous presets you can purchase but, of course, they are relatively expensive. Once your familiarity with AE goes beyond the most basic stuff, you wil appreciate why presets and effects packages cost what they do.

  • Where are the TV Shows and Movies

    Hi Everyone,
    Newbie Mac user here....
    Where are the tv-shows and movies that were announced today? When I pull the i-Tunes store I can only see music related downloads.
    Is this feature available in Canada?

    No; TV shows and movies are currently only available in the US. Apple says it hopes to take movies international in 2007.
