I am getting the error "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP" when attempting to play a HD movie from iTunes to my TV. The TV is a Samsung UN46B7000WF w/resolution 1080p

Hello Apple Community,
I am getting the message "THis movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)." This is the first time I have tried to watch a HD movie that I bought from iTunes from my iMac to my TV. (This is also the first attempt to go from my iMac to my TV.) I have a Samsung LED tv that says it is HDCP compatible with Full HD (1080p) and Native resolution is 1920X1080. I bought a Rocketfish Thunderbolt to/Mini Displayport to HDMI adapter (says support is up to 1920X1200 video resolution) and Mediabridge ULTRA Series HDMI Cable (35 Feet) - High-Speed Supports Ethernet, 3D and Audio Return category 2 certified (supports resolution up to 4K including 1440p, 1080p, 1080i and lower).
I can get the iMac to display on my TV but am guessing that I have not managed the settings correctly in Display for either the iMac or the TV. In addition, I do not have sound yet. Although, the card from Mediabridge says that I need to update my drivers. Any help/advice with the settings for iMac to TV to watch in HD and adding HDMI drivers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Lisa

Hello All,
I have figured out the sound issue: System Preferences>Sound and choose the TV for output.

Why would my late 2012 MacBook Air suddenly tell me "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)" every time I try to play a film, or TV file?

8GB late 2012 MacBook Air 512GB SSD with iTunes for Mac 12.1.0.50. Yosomite 10.10.2
This happens on movies and TV titles that have happily run before.

It is everything.
Downloading again doesn't seem to work. I deleted all my films and then just re-downloaded Pixar's 5 minute short film Boundin', but the error message popped up as soon as I pressed play.
The only thing I can think of is that last couple of times I ran Disk Utility a new error appeared that I haven't seen before. I have added a link to a screenshot of the Disk Utility report and it refers to "displaypolicyd should be should be 0, group is 244". It says it has been fixed, but the error still persists each time. This may be a red herring, but I can't help thinking that it is something to do with the problem.

What to do?? - I just updated my iTunes to ver 11.2.1 because of the annoying messages they keep sending out.
Now I can't play the movies and TV series I've purchased and were watchable before.
Comes up with "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)."
The cheek of the matter is everytime I tried to get Apple support it comes up with a request for me to pay $54 for their support package, to fix a problem I didn't have until I complied to one of their update requests.
End of Rant!!! - Anyone know how to fix please?

Well, I wonder about all the responses...:)
Anyhow, I wound up "fixing" the problem by using the System Restore disks for the Mini. It's now running Tiger 10.4.11 (with all updates) and I copied my iTunes library over. It all works now. <shrug> I have no idea what the problem was, and I'm a bit leery of upgrading it to Leopard, so I think I'll just leave well enough alone.

TS3354 "To play this movie in HD, you must have a PC with a built-in display or have it connected to a display that supports HDCP."

I recently reinstalled restored my Toshiba laptop with Windows 8 to factory condition. I reinstalled iTunes, and now when I try to play a movie, I get this error message: "To play (name of movie) you must have a PC with built-in display or have it connected to a display that has built in HDCP." This happens with both my downloaded movies and my iCloud movies. It never did this before. Any suggestions?

I have the exact same problem. I watched both AnchorMan 2 and The Hobbit Desolation of Smaug a week ago on my set up. BenQ monitor ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series Video card. No issues. Then I reformat and all of a sudden my purchased movies give me that error. It's so frustrating.
The odd part is for the Hobbit the itunes extras will start just like before, however I can't select a scene.
How is there no response to this? Are we missing something obivous? A default setting? Driver?
Help please!

Another "This movie won't play on your display" Question

I see people are having issues with displaying movies on another monitor, but I am receiving the message playing on the Macbook screen. It's a current generation 13" Macbook that should have the proper DRM (junk).

Lots of people are posting this. Here is my response:
I had the same problem. I had been using a VGA cable to connect my 1080p HDTV to use as an external monitor. But when I rented a movie from iTunes, it would only play on my iMac display. It would refuse to play on the HDTV, whether mirrored or not. Exactly the same error message that you got.
So I watched one movie on my iMac. Then I decided to try renting on Amazon Instant Video. This worked! Displayed on my HDTV, no problem! Not only that, but for the same price you get 48 hours instead of 24!
Goodbye, iTunes video.

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.

I have the same problem on an original iPad.

HT201272 i downloaded summertime this morning but keep getting this message.... The selected movie won't play on your display.

The selected movie won't play on your display.

Same issue on a mac mini - are you ******* kidding me?
This is why DRM is HORRIBLE. I can download the same content illegally and it would play fine... Thanks for nothing Apple

When playing a video I have downloaded from iTunes I get the message "This Movie Cannot be played on this machine"

When playing a video I have downloaded from iTunes I get the message "This Movie Cannot be played on this machine". The weird thing is that I downloaded the film from iTunes and while it was downloading I was watching it with my kids on my IMac. Once it had finished downloading I went with them to the living room Tao carry on watching on our apple tv. The apple TV wouldn't play it and said I needed to authorise my Pc, then the IMac gave the message above and I haven't been able to play it since. All my other downloaded films play. I am running iTunes version 10.2.2. And my iMac is Running Snow Leopard OS 10.6.7. Anyone who can shed some light on this weird situation will have my upmost thanks

Hi,
I have the same problem. Been trying to find some answers, but not a lot of info about this. It seems to happen only when:
- itunes library is stored remote (NAS or external HD)
- starting a movie/show before download has finished will make it fail next time you try to start
Hope this gets fixed soon.. it's making purchasing content via itunes a hassle

SP 2013 - Error: This operation can be performed only on a computer that is joined to a server farm

Hello Community!
I am working with SharePoint 2013 and I built a farm inside the firewall. Then a decision was made to move the two WFE's to the DMZ. Since that time, whenever I try to access the site collections, I get the error below.  Other information: All
the web applications are on port 80, but I'm not having any problem with accessing Central Administration which is on port 8080; the network team did screw up the DNS originally, but I'm told it's correct now; the two WFE's servers show in my Manage servers
on the Farm interface 2X, once with the server name, once with the fully Qualified Domain Name, the ones with the FQDN shows a Services Running status of Not Configured.
Has anyone else ever seen this error and if so please provide guidance and instruction for fixing the error.
Thanks!
Tom

Hi Tom,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you moved your SharePoint.
This error occurs when the SharePoint farm administrator cannot connect to your configuration database. Please verify the followings:
Make sure that from the SharePoint front end and application servers that you can ping your SQL server.
Make sure that your Farm account has permission to the configuration database.
Lastly verify that your database didn't for some reasons go into recovery mode.
once everything is fine and you are still having issues, restart the SQL host service on the SQL server. Once the service is restarted you will need to reboot Central Admin and then your front end servers.
In addition, as you built your farm inside the firewall, please disable the firwall, or create rules for SQL Server service in the firwall on SQL server. More information about creating rules in firewall, please refer to the following posts:

Bought TV series - some shows "This movie cannot be played on this machine"

I bought yesterday a TV series with 5 episodes. My boys started watching while it was still downloading and have seen the first 3 episodes (out of 5). However, now the first two episodes cannot be played again.
In iTunes I get a message: "This movie cannot be played on this machine"
When I locate the files in Finder and try to play in QuickTime, I get a message: "QuickTime Player is not authorized to play “(null)”."
All episodes seem to have downloaded completely (there are no open downloads in iTunes). Also the file sizes seem ok (first 2 episodes not working: 158.3MB, and 160MB, vs other 3 episodes working fine: 164.3MB 164.1MB, and 158.4MB.
Any ideas what can be the problem? And what can be done to sort it?

Same problem here. Accessing my iTunes library from a remote shared drive. This problem has started becoming more and more problematic recently. I've been able to pause and restart, but sometimes it just starts complaining that the "movie can't be played on this machine" and that's it. I'm not sure what I need to do.
You comment gave me the idea of moving my iTunes directory to my own Time Capsule drive, but now that you say the problem happens there, too... ugh.

Create a SharePoint 2013 Appplication in C#,Error:This operation can be performed only on a computer that is joined to a server farm

I want to create a sharepoint application in C#:
SPFarm CurrentFarm = SPFarm.Local;
SPWebApplicationBuilder webAppBlder = new SPWebApplicationBuilder(CurrentFarm);
webAppBlder.UseNTLMExclusively = true;
webAppBlder.AllowAnonymousAccess = false;
webAppBlder.UseSecureSocketsLayer = false;
SPWebApplication webApp = webAppBlder.Create();
webApp.Provision();
It's create a new application succeed,but when I view the site there is an error:
This operation can be performed only on a computer that is joined to a server farm by users who have permissions in SQL Server to read from the configuration database. To connect this server to the server farm, use the SharePoint Products Configuration
Wizard, located on the Start menu in Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products.
How can I fix this issue?
ps:I had create some new application in sharepoint web site.It's all fine without any issue.
The sharepoint server,sqlserver and the programs in the same machine.
Besr regards

Hi,
I think below line is causing the error -
SPWebApplicationBuilder webAppBlder = new SPWebApplicationBuilder(CurrentFarm);
can you put that line within a try catch and see that causes an exception. If so, you might try as below-
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
webAppBuilder = new SPWebApplicationBuilder(CurrentFarm);
Hope this helps!
