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

When I try to play a video on my iPad that I purchased from iTunes, I keep getting a message saying I do not have permission to access the requested resource...why?
I experinced this when I tried to watch a YouTube video. What I did was restart the iPad and it should work. If it does not work, try doing hard reset, by holding the home and wake/sleep button, ignore the red slider, until the apple logo appears.

I can no longer use Pandora because I get a message saying download adobe flash 10.1 or later. I think I have a later version, 11.?, which I have downloaded. but I still get the message and can't play Pandora.
How do I determine that in fact I have the appropriate version of adobe flash to run Pandora.How do I determine that in fact I have the appropriate version of adobe flash
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here;
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go
Then right or control click the Flash Player.plugin then click Get Info
The version number is noted there.
Assuming you are using Safari ...
Check Safari > Preferences > Security
Make sure: Enable plug-ins is enabled.
Sometimes uninstalling the currently installed Flash plugin then reinstaliing new can help > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video / audio from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

I didn't rename my iTunes library or anything. How can I sync with iTunes without erasing all my apps, app data and settings/messages etc on the iPhone/iPad?
If you moved your iTunes library by simply copying it to another drive, you may not be able to access your music even if you reconnect to that library, you may get a lot of "not found" errors because the music is not where the library thinks it should be. First thing to do is put it back where it was. Then reconnect it. Then follow the steps in this link:

I want to transfer movies I have downloaded from iTunes from my iPhone 5 to a flash drive to be able to use when I have no wifi on my iPad,when power is out etc ?
If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141 -

Since downloading iOS 7, I have been having trouble purchasing music from iTunes Store. When ever I try to make a purchase I always get the message "Your account is not valid in the US store" As I am new at this I don't know what I can do to remove this problem.
What country are you in ? If you aren't in the US and the address on your account isn't in the US then try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your iPad and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section and select your country.

How do I play a game I have downloaded to iTunes?
I can't figure out to actually play a game I have downloaded to iTunes. Sorry, I am new to this, and I would like to play on a game on my desktop, but can't figure out how to do that. Is there a way to save it to my desktop so I can just click on it when I want to play?
It sounds like you have downloaded a game from the App Store in iTunes. These Apps can only be run on iOS devices (iPhones, iPads, iPods) and you can check the App's specifications on the info page in the App Store to see which specific devices the developers have made the game for.

I just purchased a new macbookpro and I would like to put the music from my iphone to my macbook. I have downloaded from iTunes, however it want to add ALL music to my macbook.
When you plug in the iPhone, go to the menu bar and select "Transfer all purchases" to move them to your MacBook Pro.
If that doesn't work. Go here for a whole list of Apps that can help you.
I personally like Music Rescue the most. You can get it here and use the License Key that they give out for FREE now. -
Yes I bought it and it wouldent play off my iPhone , so I bought it off my iPad 2 and lost it during a sync episode so I bought it twice and never sew it . It so hard to talk to some one when you rent movies from iTunes they get the money fast but if you have any trouble it's a series of things befor you get any real help that *****
iTunes support would be the only way i'm afraid.

I am regularly getting a message "...cannot be played on this iPad" when trying to download podcasts while using a strong wifi connection.
I accidently deleted an episode that I wanted to save to listen to again and went to redownload it and got the message so the file and/or publisher aren't the issue.
Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me get my iPad to function correctly!I am getting the same issue!! I have found it only seems to do it on podcasts with explicit content like idiot abroad or frankie Boyle.

It means you do not have enough Space on your Device and need to create More Space on Your Device by Deleting some items off your device.
