This content is not authorized, message in my rentals,and purchased Series and Movies

I keep geting this message, This content is not authorized, on my series and movies

I have this exact issue.  I am running 7.1.1 and it all worked perfectly when just running 7.0 back in February.  I have the problem on both my iPhone 4 and my iPad mini (1G).  The content I have imported myself from DVD's works fine.  The only content that doesn't work is what I purchased on iTunes. Movies, and TV shows, SD and HD. Nothing purchased works. It comes up as "Cannot Open: This content is not authorised." I've checked. I am logged in with the correct iTunes account for home sharing on both the iDevices and the Macbook.  I am running the latest iTunes and iOS versions... w. t. f.
I have airvideo and have used it. I would prefer if this worked as advertised as it did mere months ago. 
Things haven't changed on my tablets except for the upgrades...

  • Message pops up when watching videos on my iPad the message says "this content is not authorized

    I get a message when watching videos on my iPad the message says "this content is not authorized and that I bought a season of a tv show and some episodes downloaded only because I didn't have enough space on my iPad to download the rest and I tried viewing that tv show on my iPad and that's when the message came up and with the movie as well

    Couple of questions
    Have you backed up to this computer before?
    Are those apps part of family sharing?

  • HT4095 CANNOT OPEN This content is not authorized.

    CANNOT OPEN This content is not authorized - I have downloaded many movies in the past through iTunes. This time I get this message and I have been unable to play two movies while on vacation. And this is the message I get :-( The only difference is an upgrade to the newest operating systems. Please help ! Thanks !

    So on a final note on this issue, Apple called me back as promised however it was an automated message not the person I dealt with previously, so all they did really was to save me from dialing their number as I had to explain myself all over again.
    They kept sending me "higher" to the next "senior" advisor who I thought would have more technical expertise than the one previous but this was not the case the last person I spoke basically told me (after making stupid excuses and trying to justify the issue because I was using "legacy" devices) that there was nothing he could do for me except to document the issue.
    Thats's strike 1 Apple....2 more and you're out!!

  • 'This content is not authorized' issue playing back Movies on an iPad

    When my son tries to play a movie purchased from iTunes he sees, "Cannot Open: This content is not authorized." The movie was purchased on our home computer using my iTunes account and he's logged in under my credentials for Home Sharing, but all legally purchased content throws up this warning. Is there a work around?

  • This computer is not authorized to play "insertnamehere.m4v"

    I purchased an HD show last night through the iTunes store last night. I've been trying to play it this morning, but when I do, I get the error message above advising me that the computer isn't authorized. The only problem is that I have authorized.
    I clicked through on the message and it advises me that it is waiting to authorize the computer and that a pop-up requesting my ID and password will appear. Nothing shows up but an error message saying "Could not contact iTunes" and that I should have iTunes 4.0 or higher. I've got the latest version if that helps.
    I've tried deauthorizing the mac and reauthorizing it, but still no luck.
    I tried to report the issue on the show, but the drop down only provides one option and that is "Choose One", so when I click to report it, I am advised to choose an option from the drop down.
    Anyone else had a similar issue?
    Cheers.

    I have the same problem, only with all my previously purchased music. My old computer disk image was moved to my new computer. Now I cannot play any of my purchased music. I am presented with the "This computer is not authorized" message. I authorize the computer, "success." I try to play the song and am presented with the "This computer is not authorized" message. I authorize the computer and am presented with the "This computer is already authorized" message. sigh
    Over and over again, loop, loop, loop...
    Oh, I already ran "repair permissions" from Disk utility to no effect. See below for the disk permissions errors:

  • IPad is saying cannot play. Content is not authorized. Help!

  • Itunes wont sync error message this computer is not authorized

    itunes will not sync my purchased songs to my new ipod touch, i get an error message that says, "some of the songs purchased cannot be transferred, this computer is not authorized, go to store, then authorize this computer."   I have done this over and over again, I have even deauthorized and then RE authorized again and again, I still get the same message. Can someone please please please HELP ME?

    I have been renting movies on my MBP and a previous MBP for years, and have always been able to transfer the rentals to an iPhone.  I always rent on the MBP and not the iPhone.  However due to a NEW authorisation problem recently I have not been able to play these movies through the Apple TV (V2) like I have been doing.  Others on the Internet have also started having this problem.  I have to resort to airplaying the movie from the MBP over to the Apple TV, which is a royal pain.  What's the point of having all this gear in the family room when I have to get up and go to the office and start the movie playing from there?!  Anyway, also recently I have not been able to move rented movies to the iPhone.  I have tried recursively chmodding the Shared folder as described here
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1277
    and it didn't help.
    So now, if we go on a long road trip or flight, we can't bring the rented movies on an iPhone/iPad.  This is a big problem.  No I am not going to bring the laptop on the trip.  The iTunes library is on an external disk on the LAN anyway.
    Re the country comments, I'm in Canada.

    If a small number of your iTunes purchases are affected, delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country. If you get that message for every item, click here and follow the instructions.

  • EReader message:  This computer is not authorized to preview this book (but it is and I've bought the book)

    Message on computer for eReader says "This computer is not authorized to preview this book" but it is authorized and I've bought the book.  Am trying to access information that will tell me how to retrieve books that I've tried to delete from the reader (but appear to have deleted from the computer).

    This is typically caused by file corruption. Delete and redownload those songs if doing so is free in your country.

    How do I sync a movie downloaded to iTunes, but I get a message that says "Cannot sync movie to iPod because this computer is not authorized"?  How do I fix this?

    And I assume you have already checked to see if your iTunes purchases are authorized by choosing Store -> Authorize This Computer?
    Some have been able to resolve this issue by removing the downloaded purchase and redownloading it again at no cost via iCloud.  See this article for more information on redownloading past purchases.

  • Video will not play on BBC site error message this content does not appear to be working .Help

    I have bbc news as home page after i updated to firefox 10 if i try to play embedded video i get the eror message [this content does not appear to be working] Help

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
