Trouble accessing tv shows

I just purchased the Apple TV today. The wireless internet is all setup and working fine.
Music syncs fine.
I have 16 episodes of my favorite TV show that I purchased via iTunes and they are on my PC. The syncing function works fine but when I try to watch the shows on the Apple TV I get the message "Your Apple TV is not authorized to play this content"
I have tried the authorize/deauthorize of my PC but when I do that they episodes disappear from the AppleTV.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong??

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Have you tried all the steps here.

Trouble accessing files on external USB drive after 10.6.8 update

Upgraded to Mac 10.6.8 on my MacBook Pro (I'm not a techie, but the "About This Mac" thingy says 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 - I assume that means something to somebody). Since the upgrade, I've been having problems accessing data on an external HD connected via USB - there were no issues before the upgrade, but now it's impossible to even navigate to a particular file or subfolder half the time, as the process freezes 95% of the time (every so often I am able to get through, for no obvious reason) - usually I just get what looks like an empty folder and a little spinning thing in the bottom right-hand corner. Sometimes when I do get to a file - say it's a ZIP file - I'll try to unZIP it and the process will hang; if I try to drag it to the desktop and unZIP it there, I can't get it to copy to the desktop, I just get the "copying files" box and a bar that never shows any progress, it just hangs at zero bytes out of whatever it might be.
Also having intermittent issues with another external USB drive, which is the one I use for Time Machine - about one in every five backup attempts is successful, the rest of the time I get a message saying the backup couldn't be performed.
I have two external FireWire drives as well, and I'm having no trouble with either of those - so I'm assuming the problem is USB-related (and 10.6.8 related, since none of this was happening before the upgrade).
So - I'm wondering if anybody else is having the same issues, and f there's a solution that a non-techie like me could handle that won't make blood come out of my ears.
Cheers!

Thanks baltwo - the PRAM tip was helpful. For some reason I still have trouble accessing a few files, I'm putting that down to them being somehow corrupted. Eric, thanks, but I tried using Disk Utility and the communication problems I was having with the drive meant that the repair couldn't be performed. I may try again now that that side of things seems to be running a little more smoothly. Anyway, thank you both!

Trouble accessing files recently moved to ext. HD

I've been having trouble accessing iPhoto library that I have moved to my external HD(FireLite 2.0 100Gb USB-powered). I'm using iPhoto 6(6.0.5), on Tiger 10.4.6.. Anyway, I have moved iTunes library to this eHD, and no problems. I just don't know how to change the path to access the iPhoto library, no option to do so in Preferences...any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.

Oooook. I don't know what I did before to get this to work(putting the iPhoto library in my external HD), but it did; the only problem is that there were 3 or 4 of the same pictures in the library! Now, using iPhoto 6.o.6, on Tiger 1o.4.9, I decided to try the above suggestions, and creating an Alias, moving it to USER/PICTURES and removing the 'alias' part of the file name. Afterwards, having replaced the original iPhoto Library file, I deleted that. Then, I OPTION+iPhoto, and selected CHOOSE LIBRARY. Then, I selected USER/iPHOTO LIBRARY/MODIFIED & ORIGINALS(i've done this chosing one, then tried the other////I've also tried this by going straight to the eHD)/2006. Now here's the problem part. I can't select anything else after that. The 'Rolls' show up fine, but I can't select an indiviual roll. When I try, all the IMG's are faded. Now, i've also tried iPHOTO/FILE/IMPORT TO LIBRARY, and when I do that, I get an error: Unreadable Files: 1 The following file could not be imported. (The file is in the iPhoto Library folder).
/Volumes/FIRELITE(-my external HD)/Programs/iPhoto Library
Now, I am able to open my eHD, then select iPhoto Library, and open up pictures just fine without problems. Just when I open iPhoto, there are no files in there.....I've been at this for a while now, and I really want to keep using my eHD to store these files in to free up HD space.
Ok now. Sorry this is so long! But i've got everything back how it was by replacing the iPhoto Lib. file that I originally deleted (while intending to replace with my new 'alias' file). But there are still 3 of each picture....sigh
Please help!!

Trouble accessing photos.

Hello! Need help! Having trouble accessing photos from Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0, I had a free trial but never registered the program because I was not using it. The other day I was taking pics off a Canon camera, & they automatically loaded into that site. I selected cancel several times, but the program did not respond. Once they completely loaded in, the program asked if I wanted to erase photos from the camera, I selected no but it started erasing them, I was able to stop it but 44 were erased off the camera. I can see the photos in the program but can not access them since I never registered. I tried to register now but received email saying that program has expired. So how do I get my photos? Please help! The photos are not mine, I was loading them from a friends camera, & they are important vacation memories to her! Thanks! Ruth

When you click on one of the thumbnails do you see a blank window where the full sized image? Or do you see this in the window:
In either case make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Trouble Accessing Virtual Machine After Time Machine Migration

I am hoping that someone else has run up against this problem and is able to help.
I recently purchased a new iMac. I upgraded to 8 GB of ram specifically because I have VMware Fusion and want to use it on my new machine.
I chose to migrate my entire old iMac to the new machine using my Time Machine backup.
VMware appears to have migrated successfully. I do not have any trouble accessing the application, but when I try to resume my only virtual machine, which is for Windows XP I get the following message:
VMware Fusion cannont connect to the virtual machine. Make sure you have rights to run the program and to access all directories it used and rights to access all directories for temporary files.
How do I resolve this problem?
Thanks in advance to anyone who is able to offer me a clue on how to overcome this.
If I can't access this machine it appears as if I will be able to create a new one. I would like to avoid having to do that if it is possible.
Terri Schurter

Captfred,
In that folder there is a virtual machine. It is called Windows XP Professional. So it is there. When I am in VMware Fusion I can see Windows Media Player, which is what I was probably accessing the last time I was in the machine, so it does appear to have backed up the virtual machine. I would expect it to because it is a part of a Mac application, VMware Fusion.
It appears to be an issue with permissions that I don't know how to solve.
I know there is a VMware forum, but I can't even figure out how to sign up for it the darned thing is so confusing. I can't seem to post to it no matter what I do.

Having trouble accessing photos

Ever since updating my 4s to the ios7, I am having trouble accessing my photos when using apps such as Facebook, text messaging, and Google hangouts. It says that the app cannot access my photos and to change my setting in privacy settings. When I go to the privacy settings and click on photos I get a message saying that if an app wants to access my photos it will be listed and I can change the setting, however none of the apps are ever listed. How do I change my setting so I can upload pictures that I have already taken on my phone?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
This is not necessarily a permissions issue, but could also be a corrupt library.
To repair permissions in the iPhoto Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. You'll see the option to check and repair Library permissions.
If that doesn't help, what version of iphoto do you have? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

(ATV2 tv) can't access rented show from my favorites.

(ATV2 tv) can't access rented show from my favorites. Error is "The iTunes store is currently unavailable. Try again Later." I have updated and rebooted ATV, as well as my router a number of times. I don't want to rent it again, any ideas?

Thank you! Knowing someone else had the issue helped me fix it on my end!
I'm guessing it's a server issue of some sorts.. maybe just some accounts. It's not the first time favorites has been broken, last time it was broken I just couldn't enter the favorites area. The spinny thing just appeared forever.
My fix: though nothing in favorites works (every time I press select on the show I want it displays the same error as you get), from the main menu with the TV shows menu open, but favorites not yet entered, press the up button and it'll move the cursor to the first image in the menu of rentals at the top of the screen. Easier anyway! Didn't know you could!
On top of that, though I'm now unable to rent via favorites itself, I can do so via the "top tv rentals" thing.
Hope this helps and they fix it soon! :/

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Trouble accessing the database

To be clear when you say the command works in query analyzer. Is this the exact string that you are running in query analyzer?
SELECT username,"password" FROM WebAppUsers WHERE username='akabeera'AND password='avenash'AND archive = 'no'This exact string (the SELECT) looks syntactically incorrect to me, but that doesn't mean your database SQL parser cannot handle it I guess (lack of spaces between quotes keywords), and I'm not sure about the double quotes, but I'm kind of an Oracle guy and all of this could be OK, it just seems messy if nothing else.
I would recommend using first, a type 4 driver if at all possible (not the JDBC/ODBC bridge), and second To avoid much of this messiness, you should whenever possible use a PreparedStatement rather then Statement for this type (and most types) of queries.

just joined cloud computing having trouble accessing premier pro ...help please

Hi Jeff: thanks for getting back to me. My daughter was downloading
components but had downloaded the free demo last night. She
uninstalled what she thought was the demo but now we are unable to
access the Premier Pro component and no icon is present on the screenor
otherwise. This is our first time with a Mac so maybe we just don't
know where it is but are at a loss right now. Thinking I should
cancel my product purchase and then start from scratch if there is no
easy solution.
Your thoughts?

Having trouble accessing i-cloud on pc using IE-10

I've had an I-cloud account for a couple years now and have not had much trouble accessing my account on my PC but, lately when I try to access the account I just get a black page with the little whirly gig in the center but, it goes no further. I’ve done all of the usual, cleared cashes, restarted, and yelled many expletives. Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Having trouble accessing web sites

Since the last Security and Mac OS X Snow Leopard point update, I've had trouble accessing using websites. I've tried Safari, Firefox and Chrome and they all are broken in some way. This is happening across all my Macs. Using Safari at the weather.com site, I can't get the maps to load after 4:00--it just quits or keeps trying to load, With Firefox or Chrome I get the actual window under a window that says It can't find the page requested--see image below, nor will it load maps. With Netflix, I am unable to view artwork or display content summaries for video selection, I have a similar exoerience with Hulu--some graphic elements in the header aren't displayed. I've repaired permissions with no change. Anyone know what's up? Any help is appreciated.

Having trouble accessing internet with new wireless WRT54...

Having trouble accessing internet with new wireless WRT54G. Used easylink to read existing router BEFSR41 which works great to westell modem provided by Verizon. When connect new router Easylink configures WRT54G but when trying to connect to internet...fails. All lites indicate good. Not using wireless device yet, just the wired ethernet. Router set up as DHCP.
I keep going back to old router and works great every time. Help!

Thanks for response, however I tried setting unit to 192.168.2.1 (leaving DHCP) to no avail. I put my old unit (BEFSR41) back in and I'm back up. I need to sit back and decide which way to go on this. Perhaps it's defective and I should return it.
