TS2972 Apple TV will play some content but not other content

My AppleTV will recognize the available content on my computer and will play some of it, but when I try to watch other content it says that I must authorize the computer.  However, the computer is already authorized, which Apple TV sees because it will play my music and a TV show I've downloaded.  The content that it will not play was downloaded directly onto my iPad, and I can watch it on my iPad.  When I try to watch it on Apple TV, it says I need to authorize the computer. 
This is very frustrating.  Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Just needed to Re-authorize the computer and every thing worked fine. I imagine this will solve most of the issues that I see posted on here concerning this problem.

  • ITunes will play some videos, but not others?

    Hello,
    I use my MacBook Pro at home with Apple TV to home share videos and music. I have also recently upgraded to mavericks.
    When I play videos on my tv at home they work fine, but I am traveling and now videos will not play. They just show 0:00 with a pause button instead of a play button. Some videos do work, but only a handful.
    Would this be due to the mavericks upgrade? Should I re-install iTunes?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi gta,
    Ok.. let's try this. Launch Disk Utility, it's in your Applications/Utilities folder. Select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit Disk Utility when it's finished.
    Get Onyx. It's a free disk utility. Run the Maintenance and Cleaning Scripts once a week. It's available here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html
    If none of the above works, delete these files:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.networkConfig.plist
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.NetworkDiagnostics.plist
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.NetworkUtility.plist
    Note -- the com.apple.network.Config.plist is not located in your home folder --
    Drag those files to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. You will have to reset your network preferences.

  • My hp 1660 will print some websites but not others

    my new hp 1660 prints off of some websites but there are many that will not print.  What can I do to correct this and be able to print everythin I want to

    It seems to be accessible, yes. It's listed as
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.9\CLSID. I can give
    you the data string if you like. I've really never edited my system
    registry so I'm not sure what I'm doing.

  • DR8 A2 will read some discs but not othere

    Hi
    Ive recently had to completely rebuild my system due to a fault with the cpu.  On the old system, the drive work absolutely fine. But since Ive got this system up and running again (slightly higher spec) both of my DVD drives are playing up (one isnt an MSI drive but it may be relevant).
    With some of my discs (including important ones like MS Office etc) the disc will not auto run. When I open My Computer to manually start the setup the name of the DVD drive the disc has been inserted into changes to CD Rom Drive as opposed to what it should be. When I actually try to open the disc this way I am prompted to insert a disc.
    Im not sure whether this is the drive or something else. The other possibility I thought of was the drivers installed for the chipset. I have an MSI K7N2 Delta2 motherboard (nForce 2 chipset) and have installed the latest nForce drivers from NVIDIA. These drivers did include an IDE driver, so maybe that is the problem.
    Thanks in advance

    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.

  • How can I move movies from my computer to my iPad? They will play in quicktime but not iTunes

    How can I move movies from my computer to my iPad? They will play with quicktime but not iTunes so I can't sync them

    Th AVPlayerHD works well for playing other video types.  You can transfer the videos via USB in the app tab in iTunes on your computer.  When you open that tab when you have you iPad connected to the computer scroll down and you will see apps listed on the left and a blank on the right.  Click on the app and then click on the add button under the blank window on the right.  Then navigate to the video you want to play and it will transfer it to the iPad.  I have about 14 movies on mine using AVPlayerHD.  works very well.  Also have VLC player (before it was yanked from the app store).  Works about the same.
    You can also get the app Air Video and stream the video to from your computer to the iPad, and even have Theo ad connected to the tv to watch on there.  I do that all the time with my iPhone.  Saves time with not having to sync movies all the time.

  • After using video capture device to copy VHS to DVD, burnt DVD will play on computer but not

    After using video capture device to copy VHS to DVD, burnt DVD will play on computer but not on DVD player. Tech support for the VCD said my HP DVD burning software has to burn "DVD Video and not DVD data" and to check with HP. How can i check myself.

    Grahamster, welcome to the forum.
    I recommend trying CDBurnerXP for burning video CD's.  I have been using it for years without a glitch.  I use it mainly for burning ISO's, but have used it for all types.  Please let us know if it works or not.

    hi i am putting photos in my project it will play the videos but not the photos i have not had a problem with this before

    If you haven't tried re syncing the apps using iTunes..
    Connect the iPad to your computer. Select it under Devices left side of the iTunes window. Select Apps from the menu, make sure the boxes next to those apps are selected then click the Sync button bottom right side of the iTunes window.

  • My iPhone4 docks correctly with some devices but not others, please help!

    Hi,
    Firstly spologies if this is old news but sometimes its easier to 're-ask' than trawl thousands of pages!.....
    I have a 3-year old iPhone 4 that has developed a problem which i'm trying hard to solve;
    *Phone used to dock fine with anything and everything - this was about 1 year ago.
    *for no apparent reason it ceased docking with my Bose Soundock and a Logic3 accessory dock (connected to a hi-fi) at home
    *symptoms were; it would charge and operate as normal whilst docked but would not play music through either (the Logic3 dock did not acknowledge it was docked). Otherwise it would sync and connect normally with iTunes, etc. and connected fine when plugged into my car.
    *I reset it, restored it from back-up, updated/reinstalled iOS (this has since updated at least twice) with no other effects. Also checked and reset all settings.
    *I subsequently bought a Pure Contour dock as I was able to try it in the shop and my phone worked with it, plus it has Airplay anyway. I have since, in an attempt to find a bedside DAB radio/alarm dock that works with it, found that it works fine with some devices but not others with no rhyme or reason as to which.
    *2 days ago I changed out the docking port myself using a cheap replacement bought from Amazon, to see if it would cure.
    * now the problem is reversed! The Bose and Logic3 docks I have, that it wouldn't work on before, it now DOES....and the Pure dock and my car, which it DID work with before now fail to connect with it!
    *just to reiterate this, my wife's gen3 and gen5 iPods dock and work faultlessly with all devices mentioned....and mine had done previously.
    to my knowledge it is NOT;
    - a compatibility issue. The phone used to work fine on everything I had. Then it stopped. How's that?!
    - a connector issue. The male connectors on all docks haven't changed.......and the female connector in my phone has changed from liking selected devices to then liking the others!! (it is female after all ;-) !)
    -a software issue. iOS has been updated and the phone wiped and restored and all sorts so many times I can;t see how it can be!
    could it be a problem with the data exchange between phone and device when it is docked??
    or do I really need to try changing the port for an 'official' one??
    or is it just broken and that's that?!

    It's either a problem with the connector on your phone (dirt, lint, bent pin, corrosion) or with its connection to the motherboard inside. Cleaning the connector is a good place to start; either a dry toothbrush, air blast can or wood toothpick. Next inspect it carefully with a good magnifying glass or jeweler's loupe. If nothing turns up it is probably damage inside, which will be difficult to fix. Aren't you due for an upgrade about now? Your iPhone 4 is 3 generations out of date!

  • How do I troubleshoot installation/distribution of a LabVIEW .exe which processes data using Matlab when it works on some computers but not others?

    I've been given the unenviable task of troubleshooting and installing/distributing software written by a former co-worker. I've modified the LabVIEW code and built an .exe file. I've successfully installed the Labview .exe file on several computers, but it won't work on some others. What's more baffling is that I installed it successfully on one computer, uninstalled it, and tried reinstalling it with no success. In fact, it's a new error (Dr. Watson for Windows NT application error). It doesn't help that I have different versions of LabVIEW and Matlab on the target computers. Some have LabVIEW 5.1, some
    have 5.0, and some don't have it at all. Some have Matlab 5.2, some have 5.3 (R11) and some have 6.0 (R12). It's also not clear to me where the Matlab m files should be located. I'm not sure if it's a LabVIEW Runtime Engine problem, or if it's a Matlab problem. I've also wondered how LabVIEW and Matlab talk to each other. When LabVIEW calls Matlab, it seems that Matlab is running in the background. In other words, clicking on the Matlab Command Window and typing "whos" or any other command/variable doesn't work.

  • Just downloaded an album, will let me play some songs, but others are asking for me to authorize my computer. When I enter Use ID and password, comes back and says computer is already authorized. Why will it let me play some songs and not others?

    Has anyone downloaded an album from iTunes Store, once downloaded, will let you play some songs, but others is asking you to authorize your computer. When I go through those steps, it tells me that the computer is already authorized, but still will not let me play certain songs??

    If just some of the tracks on the album are giving you that message, that suggests that those tracks are damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • 11.8.800.94 IE9 plays some videos but not all, FF does

    Win 7  64, ie 9. ff 22.0 also at 11.8.800.94. Video cards are Nvidea 6200 DVI and 8400GS. All software & drivers are current. This is a Gigabyte MB, 4GB.   
    IE will play some youtube videos like this one.http://www.youtube.com/user/UFCselect?v=DkYDh4WFnCg
    But it won't play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSQXZhGEHYs
    Sometimes the leadin commercial plays, but the video doesn't.  
    The second video starts but stops immediately. Eventually it times out.  There is a leadin commercial &
    maybe the problem is related to that.  This one acts the same way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhmoaVu3ZN0
    All those videos play fine on FF.
    This NBC video plays on both IE & FF.

    all HULU videos I tested worked on both. http://www.hulu.com/#!watch/511186  as a sample. 
    Hardware optimization doesn't change the symptoms, data and storage have both been deleted.
    I tried using both video cards & that didn't make a difference.

    Hi Pat, thanks so much for helping me!~
    Yes, I can see the ball and text move on the link.  The videos that won't load are all on downlaod sites that I am accessing through 1channel.  If the site uses JW player everything loads with no problem. Here are a few examples:
    http://www.novamov.com/video/d9edab74ecdea
    http://www.nowvideo.eu/video/f45fa18ab276a
    I have adblocker plus, MSE and Malwarebytes also. 
    I have the same issue with a computer with (yuk) Vista Home Premium.  Also using FF 22.0 and the same security.  Now that I think of it, this Vista computer is the one that is more important that it load flash.

  • Why does new 60g ipod download some songs but not others?

    I have a lovely new ipod and have inherited my son's itunes library on my XP user account. I removed all the stuff of his that I didn't want and was all set to download 600-odd tracks on to my new ipod. Unfortunately it only transfers about a third of the tracks on each album and unaccountably skips some altogether. Also, it will only transfer 50 or so songs and then "freezes" on a particular track. I then have to close down using Windows Task Manager, re-start the computer and delete the track in question before the repeating the whole miserable process. There must be a better way mustn't there?

    Thanks for the suggestions, but I ran updater and installed the latest itunes yesterday to no avail. Also I think it's unlikely to be an unsupported file type problem as some tracks and not others are transferred from the same album.
