Why can't I play some of my movies?

I have a number of movies in my library that I bought from iTunes. I can't play half of them, despite having bought them a while ago and watching them several times. The window opens when I click on them, but then it just sits there, and it won't play the movie. But others are fine. Is there a way I can fix this? Is it because of iTunes 10.4?

Hi,
i seem to be having the same problem with my iphone as well, its got to be something to do with the update. The only thing i can suggest is keeping an eye on the itunes for another update and see what happeneds from there.
it is quite annoying for me as my iphone is my main music device for my car......... can anyone please help?????

  • Why Can't I play some songs ??

    I can't understand why some songs are available to play and some are not!? Even songs from the same album?
    I've uploaded 100s of. songs from my MacBook, some are ripped from CDs and the rest from iTunes.
    Please explain I don't understand why this is so.

    If the initial scan in iTunes has not finished yet then you can see this behavior on an iOS device. The simplest trouble shooting step is to disable iTM on the iOS device and open the Music app and let the content clear out. Wait for the scan to complete in iTunes then re-enable the service on the iOS device.

  • Why can't I play some of my songs?

    I just updated to iOS 5, and as I was scrolling through my songs on my iPod touch, a large majority of the songs names are tinted in grey, and cannot be played. Why is this? And how can I fix it? Anyone?

  • Why can't I play some songs in my library?

    My Itunes library has about a thousand and 200 songs... But there are 400 songs that i can't play or even I can't put them on my Ipod because they have in their left side a tick : I Tunes ask me to find them in a paste but i can't find them.. How can i stay with these musics and make them playable!? PLEASE HELP ME AND DON'T DECLARE THAT I WILL HAVE TO LOOSE ALL THESE 400 SONGS!!!

    You get exclamation marks or dead tracks because iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
    The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
    The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
    The song file has been deleted
    The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed
    Do did you change anything or do you have any other software that can rename or move files?
    You can try using Windows search to look for some of the files so see if you can find them. Also look in the recycle bin.
    If you have not synced you iPod since the problem started and you have the tracks on the iPod there is software that will allow you to copy the files from the iPod to the PC.

    Otherwise you need to recover your files from backup if you made a back up.
    If none of these work you will have to re-rip the tracks if you have them on CD.

  • Why can't I play some songs when i dont have internet?

    This is probably a dumb question, and I probably didnt understand it in the first place, but it seems that my songs are held hostage to internet connection. Most of the time i am somewhere that has interenet, but i also DJ sometimes and i cant get to some of my songs...PLEASE help.

    Tunes that aren't aready on your iOS device can be downloaded uses iTunes match by either the internet or 3G. If the tunes aren't on your iOS device to begin with, the only way to get them from iTunes match is by downloading them or making sure they are on before you go somewhere where you have no connection.

    Why can't I play facebook games? Do I need toWhy can't I play Facebook games. Do I have to download and install something ? download and install something ?

    Why?
    Probably because Facebook Games on the website need Flash to run, and iPads don't natively support Flash.
    You may be able to find a Flahs supporting browser in the Appr Store. (Search for "flash browser"). Though support is not 100% for any of them, but maybe some of the games may work.

    Do you have the latest Adobe Flash Player installed? If not then go to the Adobe site and download and install it.

  • HT204382 Why can't I play a .MOV movie on my apple (MacBook Pro)?

    My parents have been sending me little .MOV movies via email. But I can't play them on my MacBook Pro. I am however able to play them on my iPhone.
    Why can't I play it on my computer?
    This is the error msg I get: The document “IMG_0259.MOV” could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands. You may need to install additional software to open this type of file.
    Many thanks,
    Mascha

    I have the same problem. I make a video on my iPhone and email it to my webmail, can't open it on the MacBookPro, but can on my phone from my webmail. On the MacBookPro, a screen opens that displays the "Q" from Quicktime with a question mark on it. That's all I get!
    Thought I didn't have quicktime, but since the computer comes with it and my updates are all up to date, it just doesn't make any sense. This has only started recently. The two videos in question are the longest (under 15 min but over 10) ones I've ever had. When I go to email them, it says they are too long but send them anyway.
    I am perplexed. I really want to be able to watch them (or I wouldn't have made them in the first place) and just can't figure out what to do!!

  • For the first time, I downloaded a podcast in the podcast app by clicking on the cloud icon. Now, every single play button for all of my podcast episodes is grayed out. Why can't I play any of my podcasts any more?

  • Why can I not open some attached emailed pdf files?

    PLEASE HELP ME! I HAVE TO OPEN THESE FILES MY BUSINESS DEPENDS ON IT! why can I not open some attached pdf files and others are ok?

    PDF files are extremely reliable. You may have a software issue. I have the problem on 2 identical systems with the exact same specs. The problem occurs at the same exact interval. It may be a windows update. We have had to re-install software form the DVD in each instance. This fixes it for awhile and then it recoccurs. Adobe acts as if they have never heard of the problem...imagine that. I'm the only one with th problem.
    This is happens with CS6 volume lic product.
    If you dont own Adobe product it will be even more difficult to find and answer as the reader is used my so many people.
    We know we have the problem again when we double click opn a PDF and nothing happens. SOme have reported that reloading does not fix the problem.
    Wish I could help you. I am looking for answers to this issue right now and phone support is a 30 minute wait.
    Very frustrating.
