Why can't I get a downloaded purchased movie to play?

I bought the film, "Woodstock," a couple of years ago thru iTunes. I see the film listed in iTunes and I see the actual file on my computer, but I cannot get it to play. It has played in the past. I was going to re-download thru iCloud, but it says it's already downloaded, which it is. I have also tried logging into iTunes using my other IDs but still it won't play. I also tried to open it in QuickTime, but I got this error message - <The document “Woodstock_ 3 Days of Peace and Music (Director's Cut).m4v” could not be opened. This content is not authorized.>
Any suggestions? Thank you!

Sure, thanks. I highlight the movie in the list, then click the play button in the upper lh corner of the iTunes window. Everything slides to the left, and the screen is black, save for the controller in the bottom middle, which shows the pause button, among others. After a few moments, the controller disappears. But the movie never begins. Since it's already downloaded, I assume I don't have to wait before it begins.
I hope that's clear.

  • Why can't I get in-app purchases?

    Why can't I get in-app purchases?

    We are having this same problem with our Iphones and before you ask yes these phones are allowed to make in-app purchases. This is happening for all apps not just one or two and all of our Iphones. We have even asked several of our friends with Iphone and they also are unable to make in-app purchases. We can go into the app and go to the in-app purchase area and we see what is available but we are unable to make any selections.  We have contacted apple care and they have had us reset the settings for in-app purchases and we still get have the same problem. Since this is happening on all our Iphones 3s, 4, and 4s. It leads me to believe that it is an issue with the Itune store not allowing in-app purchases. Is any one else having this problem? Had this problem but was able to get it fixed, what did you have to do to get it where you could make in-app purchases.
    Thanks

  • Why can i not get my amazon intant movies to come up on my apple tv?

    Why can I not get my amazon instant movies to come up on my apple tv from my ipad airplay?

    Not an AppleTV problem as such.
    Many app developers seem to block video airplay of content that you can watch in an app.
    I can only assume this has something to do with rights issues for the movie/show.
    Check on amazon's instant movies site for more info.

  • Its 2014, why can I not get the intro media to auto play?

    I cannot get the the intro media to play when either going to that page or even opening the iBook. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Can you describe the steps that you're using to find that out?
    What happens if you delete the book, then add it back into the library and repeat first time run/open?
    What is there about 2014 that you need to know?

  • Why can't I get my contacts to move to my new iphone

    I am having trouble with moving all of my contacts to my new iPhone. I am hardwiring the IP5 to my MBA using iTunes and checked the correct box. I moved all of my checked music and bookmarks but no contacts. Is there something I'm overlooking?

    The answer to the iCloud question is no. I do not sync to iCloud because I use my phone for business and my iPad for pleasure. I only sync my phone through my MBA so I can control my sync'd files so that I don't have a lot of personal junk on my phone. My music transfered and my essential bookmarks but nothing else.
    The second question is that I do not use Exchange.

  • Why can't I get MLP format from DVD

    <FONT face=Verdana color=#330066 size=>Hi!<FONT face=Verdana color=#330066 size=>
    Here's what I have on my custom built-by-me Win XP SP2 PC:SAMSUNG CDRW/DVD SM-352B Audigy 2 sound card (just plain A2, not ZS or Platinum)Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5. speakersPowerDVD 6 Deluxe
    <FONT face=Verdana color=#330066 size=>Why can't I get my DVD-Audio music to play in MLP format. PowerDVD will only play the DD or DTS tracks. I have PowerDVD set to 6 speakers so that it will do the decoding. Audigy 2 is set to pass through so that PowerDVD will decode. I thought this would work, but I still get just DD or DTS!! (PowerDVD will decode DTS, while the sound card can't, so why can't I get MLP?)
    <FONT face=Verdana color=#330066 size=>Do I need to upgrade the Audigy 2 to the ZS or Platinum or do I need a new DVD-Rom (or both)? :smileysurprised:

    Thanks Jeremy! I will try to see what the problem is with PowerDVD.
    I have been fiddling with this all morning. I had had problems with Creative's DVD-A player in the past, (crashed whenever it detected a DVD-A), but I thought I would work with it some more. I uninstalled the Creative DVD-A player and PowerDVD, then ran a registry cleaner to get rid of leftovers (there was a bunch). Reinstalled the Creative player - it didn't crash, but didn't recognize a DVD-A at all, no playlist, nothing. Reinstalled PowerDVD and played disk (still just Dolby Digital only). Started Creative player - it played the DVD-A!!!! (Sounds so much better in MLP!!!) I was pretty excited. So closed PowerDVD, inserted another DVD-A and started Creative player - same thing - no detection!
    Well, this is what I have to do to play DVD-A the way it's meant to be played (Adv. Res.):
    . Start play on PowerDVD.
    2. Start play on Creative DVD-A player.
    3. Close PowerDVD
    This is a real pain!!! Creative player needs a jumpstart from PowerDVD! Maybe there's a codec conflict?
    When I feel ambitious, I'll try reformatting the HDD, unless you have a solution if you think maybe it's a codec problem. I read somewhere how to determine this, but of course now I don't remember where I saw it :smileytongue:Message Edited by GadgetGirl on 0-26-2005 0:53 PM

  • Why can't I get firefoc 6, I had it on my old computer and now I can not find it to download

    I updated to firefox 6 and have since gotten a new computer and now can only download 4.0. Why can't I get at least 5.6 update?

    You likely had FF 3.6 instead of 6. At the moment, FF 4 is the latest version. If you wish to rollback to an earlier version, you can download your preferred version for your OS here:
    http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
    FF 4 is the latest and greatest. If you are not experiencing specific problems that force you to roll back to an earlier version, you will probably want to stick with FF 4.
    If you do roll back, you may want to back up your profile for safekeeping:

    Firefox 6.0 is the current version.
    Get what denoted in what properties link.
    You can get the version number in Help -> About Firefox,
    and in '''about:support''' typed into the Location bar, and you can use JavaScript to list the user agent -- javascript:navigator.userAgent
    I'm not aware of any version of Firefox from Fx 2 on up to Fx 6 where "AVG Safe" is not a problem. Crashes aren't the only failures caused.
