Unable to watch purchased movies full screen

Using:
Mac Mini G4 1.25Ghz 1GB RAM
Gateway FPD2185W 21" LCD HD Monitor (connected via VGA)
1680x1050@60Hz resolution (native resolution of monitor)
iTunes 7.0.2 (15)
Quicktime 7.1.3 (PRO)
The last 2 video purchases I have made from the iTunes store will not work using the fullscreen display preference in iTunes. The videos bought were "Taking The Wheel", and "Death Race 2000". When I try to play them full-screen, all I get is a black screen. I can hear the audio playing just fine, and I can see the mouse pointer, but no video shows, and the on-screen controls do not appear. The videos work fine in window mode, unless I try to enlarge the window. If I try to do that, the video either goes all black, or goes all white.
I already contacted support, and all they did was gave me a video credit to try and re-download "Taking The Wheel" (I bought Death Race 2000 several days later). Re-downloading the video did not solve the problem, which leads me to believe that it is either a problem with how the video is encoded, or a problem with a recent iTunes or Quicktime update.
Mac Mini 1.25Ghz 1GB   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   1GB RAM

Follow-up, if I open the videos with Quicktime directly, they play fine in full-screen, they still don't work set to full-screen in iTunes though.

  • HT1918 I recently was unable to watch a movie I purchased & paid for because my credit card was out of date. Surely you cannot take access to items I have purchased away from me if I do not own a credit card?

    I recently was unable to watch a movie I purchased & paid for because my credit card was out of date. Surely you cannot take access to items I have purchased away from me if I do not own a credit card? Does this mean that I will no longer be able to view purchases if I decide to cancel my credit card. If this is the case, I will not be purchasing movies from iTunes again

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    If you have a credit card on your account then it will need to be valid. If you don't have a card to replace it with then have you tried removing it from your account ? On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link.
    Changing payment info : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918
    If you don't get the 'none' option on the payment details screen then do you owe iTunes anything or have any pre-orders/subscriptions due : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366 ?

  • HT1390 Unable to watched rented movie on ATV2

    Last night we wanted to watch a movie on our ATV2 so on my Mac I went into iTunes and rented a HD movie. I let the download start and went off to prepare dinner. When I came back to my Mac a hour later there was an error message on the screen saying there was an error connecting to the store so I reinitiated the download. A few minutes later I got a message saying that the movie was ready for viewing, would i like to watch it now or later. I selected later and left it to continue the download.
    In the end we did not end up watching the movie last night, but now I want to watch it. On my ATV2 I went into my library. The Rentals option appeared in the menu and, for some reason, the movie I rented is in the list of rentals twice. When I selected either of the movies to watch I got an error saying that the movie is currently being watched on another device and to stop it running on that device before trying again.
    The movie was not being watched anywhere else. How do I tell iTunes this? Why won't it let me watch the movie on the ATV2 if I purchased on my Mac?
    I tried rebooting both the ATV2 and Mac. I then deleted both copies of rental from iTunes. One of them I had issues deleting from trash, saying it was being used. I then restarted downloading the rental again and again said I would watch later when prompted. Now the Rentals option does not even appear on my ATV2 when I go to my library on my computer.
    I could not find anywhere in the support material if it was actually possible to rent a movie from iTunes on Mac and then view on ATV2. Should it be possible? I did find a support note that said that any movie rented from an ATV2 could only be viewed on that device.
    Any clues to fix this problem. I tried calling Apple support but they don't work weekends.

    Further investigation revealed that I was unable to watch the movie anywhere. I kept getting iTunes Error 42110 when it tried to authenticate.
    After searching through iTunes support material I found the solution, which was to remove the 'SC Info' folder from /Users/Shared. After I deleted this folder everything started working again.

  • How to watch my presentation full screen on PC ?

    I have done a presentation in Kenote '05 and I want to watch on PC computer.
    The problem is that my school's computers doesn't have QT Pro so I won't be able to watch it on full screen. I have tried to export it as a PowerPoint presentation but all transitions are lost and slides doesn't look well...
    Do you know other solutions, how to watch (full screen with, all transitions and interactive buttons) presentation on PC, made in Kenote ?!
    Regards,
    Wiktor K.

    Keynote 3 (06) finally allows you to tag a movie to play full screen, but there are other scripts out there that will allow you to change a movie's settings. I haven't tested any in a long while, but I know Tom Negrino used to have one on his web site (which I can't find now).

  • How can I watch purchased movies on apple tv?

    How can I watch purchased movies on apple tv?  I recently purchased an apple tv and cannot play the movies I have bought on my itunes account?
    Can anyone help?

    You can also got to movies and select purchased and if it comes up cannot connect to server go to settings and scroll down to restart and it should work. That's what I did and it showed my purchased movies and I don't have my Apple TV paired with a computer. Just using iCloud. But you also can pair your computer but its not necessary to watch purchased movies you have bought through iTunes. Hope this helps.

  • Unable to set safari in full-screen mode

    Hi folks,
    I just factory reset my 15-inch MBP running 10.9.3. After doing so, I notice that I am unable to set Safari in full-screen mode. Any ideas??

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup 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, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

    When I try to watch videos in full screen it says plug-in failure any suggestions?

    Close out of the camera app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
    Then do a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    Then check your camera roll again.

  • Playing movie full-screen across two monitors?

    I have a PC with a pair of 800x600 monitors side-by-side for a dual-monitor desktop. I want to play a very wide (1600x600) QuickTime movie fullscreen across them both (not simply mirrored), with no window border or Windows taskbar visible. But when I click the zoom box for the movie window, it resizes the window to one display, so that it doesn't touch the other display at all.
    I'm not currently using QuickTime Pro; will paying for that upgrade allow me to play a movie "Full Screen" across two screens, or will that still limit the movie to one screen?
    Is there any other way for me to play the movie across two displays? (Again, not mirrored - the movie is wide enough to fit both displays.) Is there some other QuickTime movie player that'll do this for me?
    (The movie is a pair of eyes looking back and forth. It's for a Halloween display, one monitor per eye.)

    I had an older version of VLC and it did not work but I tried the beta version of 0.8.4test1a and it plays everything from h.264,mpeg4,mpeg2,avi,vob,wmv and a few more. The only other things I know I have done is that I have the pro version of quicktime 7.0.3 and I have a codec pack from ColeMedia Codec Pack from http://www.cole2k.net/ other than that I don't know what else I did that made it work.

    Try to reboot your computer.  If that doesn't work, try deleting the movie and redownloading it (assuming no other AppleID is associated with your computer). 
    If neither of those work, try contacting the iTunes store.

  • Unable to watch 3 movies I rented. Please help!

    I rented 3 movies through iTunes to watch on a trip I went on. While on the airplane I went to watch them on my iPad through the videos app and it told me none of the movies I had rented could open. Does anyone know why this happens? During my layover I was able to watch a movie because my iPad was connected to wireless, but I thought you could still watch them without wireless. If anyone has any advise on this please let me know. I have paid and been unable to watch 4 movies so far on my iPad. Thank you!

    See this article:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4095
    It implies you need an iTunes Store connection to begin watching an HD movie rental.

  • I Can't Watch DVDs Or Movies Full Screen

    Hey all. I've had a read through a bunch of forums and no one seems to have had my problem. (At least, no one has posted about it that I can find).
    I've had my Intel iMac for two months or so, and have always been able to watch full screen DVDs or .avi/.wmv/.mpg movies. However, in the past few days, whenever I go full screen (in any program; DVD Player, VLC, whatever) the playback becomes sketchy, the frame rate drops and everything gets jerky.
    However, I can watch .wmv files fullscreen using Windows Media Player.
    I haven't installed anything new recently. It just seems to have started happening for no good reason.
    Any ideas would be much appreciated. It's not much fun watching DVDs or .avi's when they're not full screen. Thanks!

    Thanks very much for the suggestions
    My hard drive has about 130 gigs available, so I'm sure that's not it. I just repaired permissions and did a safe boot and the problem remains.
    It's probably also worth noting that I've tried running both VLC and DVD Player after a reboot with absolutely no other programs running, so I don't think it's a memory problem.
    I'm totally, 100% stumped.
