TS1718 itunes 12.0.1.26 not playing downloaded movies black screen Windows 7

I am using iTunes for windows and the recently bought 2 movies, the trailer worked fine , but after download the itunes is not playing the VDO files, its simple black screen. Can someone please help?
No wonder why I dont use Apple. they dont even give support without owning an apple product how cruel is that!
Thanks

Sorry, unfortunately I can't get it to work now!  (Maybe I hadn't gotten it to work before.)  If I click a podcast subscription icon, then the little gear "Tools" icon, there's text that says: "When new episodes are available they will be marked as unplayed."  So even if I mark a non-downloaded episode as played, the auto-delete when played option doesn't seem to work.  If I do mark the episode as "Played" then use my "Delete" key, the message pops up: "Podcast episodes can't be deleted from the feed."  So that seems to settle that.

    You must play it in itunes.

  • Download movies on iPad will not play, Download movies on iPad will not play

    Downloaded rented movies  on ipad2
    from iTunes will not play on ipad2

    This has been an ongoing problem for me too. With my iPad 2 I buy a tv show or rent a movie and it does not show up in the Video App. This is very frustrating (= very upset Apple customer) You spend money to see something remotely, wait along time to download it, potentially incur or use precious minutes with your limited data plan and in the end can not view it. Additionally, the entire process has some severe usability issues. Why do you have to go to another App to see your movies. When you click purchase you should be first presented a download time bar and then either as it is in the midst of being downloaded be able to start watching it and/or after it has been downloaded you should be provided the movie to view it. Not bumped to the landing page of the iTunes App. how stupid is that. So you are there at the landing page for iTunes. Your first inclination is to try to navigate within iTunes to see it. If it is a,TV show that you rented your first inclination is to go to the TV show section. Then form there you will like deduce that you need to go to Purchases. but when you click Purchases it instead takes you  first to Music purchases. Then you might see or realize that there is a,TV show tab in the Purchases section, so you go there and and as opposed to showing you a chronological list of most recent individual purchases is defaults to a list of full seasonal TV show purchases, so then you see the seasonal show and it show an iCloud butont to download then entire season, hmm that would suck to then download the entire season, use all your minutes and then not be able to view any show cause even thoses don't show up in the Apple video App. I mean come on this really terrible, TERRIBLE useability.
    So I have gone to the Apple Video App and nothing shows. I have done a search from the Apple search you can access when swiping right from the initial page of App icons. I actually see the TV show name listed from the title name search I do. And indeed it shows an associated Video App icon but when I click it momentarily (split second looks to be loading the video App and then crashes? And takes me back to the first screen of App icons.
    So I simply can not watch any show with ITunes.
    Netflix on the hand make the entire process a one click experience.

  • ITunes 9.2.1 still not playing purchased video - Gray screen

    iTunes 9.2.1 still won't play the video that I purchased from the iTunes store. I get a moving gray screen with no picture or audio. This has been ongoing for over a month and I've lost my patience.
    APPLE, I know that you're trolling these boards. Fix this or give me a refund!

    I suggest that you call them (you can set up an appointment from the support page.) I had the same issue, and after several calls and emails eventually a surprisingly high level engineer got back to me and was able to fix the problem within a couple of hours. I had the same lack of response through the iTunes email support. They are obviously fixing this for some folks, so maybe if you can get to a human on the phone you'll have better luck. Emphasize how long you've been waiting for a response and that you know others have had the problem fixed. I think the customer service ethic at Apple is strong and so hopefully you'll get a response. Good luck!

    Did you activate home sharing in both your iTunes and ATV?
    Also try signing out of the ATV (Apple ID) and signing back in again.

  • Why will iTunes 10.5.1 will not play TV Shows

    Last weeks as well as earlier TV Shows still play normally, yet the latest TV Show I purchased yesterday (Pan Am) will not play and I get a message stating: This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes. Why is this, it was the latest TV show released last week, purchased on iTunes and will not run on an iMac.
    What is the reason for this and how do I fix it?
    Thank you

    I have the same problem since update of itunes to version 10.5.1.
    Downloaded movies after the update couldn't be started in itunes.
    Only the same message "...requires QuickTime...." will be shown.
    The movies are new one (Transformer 3,....)
    Open itunes in 32-Bit mode, start movie, stop itunes and start itunes again in 64-Bit mode fix it.
    Then the movie shows its cover and can be started as usually - as it was bevor the itunes update.
    In my case, no hardware and software changes have been made during this time.
    Maybe, the Problem is in the first recognition of itunes in 64-Bit mode. All old movies run as usual.

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

    I'm having the same problem on my new iMac.  First it tells me it's not authorized to play the songs, then when I enter my password, it tells me it's already authorized, but still won't play them.  I tried deleting a song and going to the store to redownload it and got charged for it!  I've got hundreds of songs, so that's not going to be an option.
    In addition, I have quite a few songs from a very old Apple ID, one I forgot I even had, I have no idea what the password was and no way to have the system send me a new password because I no longer have access to that email account.
    The Mac I just "retired" could play all the songs in my catalog just fine.  This new one won't play the majority of them.
    Help!

  • TS3623 Apple TV will not play rented movies. Says it is being played on another device, which it is not. Downloaded movie via iTunes on my iMac.

    Apple TV will not play rented movies. Says it is being played on another device, which it is not. Downloaded movie via iTunes on my iMac.
    I've tried restoring the TV, updating my iTunes - nothing is working. It is definitely not playing on my computer.

    Sign in to your iTunes account settings on the computer (click on the AppleID top right if you're actually signed in).
    In your purchase list find the purchase and use the 'Report a problem' link to tell the store.
    Assume you've not moved the rental to another device where it resides but is not being played.
