Why can't I watch any of my purchased films or music videos on iTunes?

I have repeatedly tried to watch my purchased videos on iTunes, but only a black screen comes up, and I can't hear any of the audio either. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you

Probably because yoiu do not have the manually manage music box checked.

  • How can I change the media info from Concert Film to Music Video in ITunes 11.01.12

    I purchased a concert film a while back from the ITunes store, and in previous versions of ITunes, I had been able to change the media info from concert film to music video so I could watch it in my library (and any devices) without losing any of my library when I synced my devices (could only have either music, movies or tv shows on device - stupid I know), now with the new version, that option is greyed out, so I can't change anything, is there any way around it?
    Thanks so much!

    When you say "remove his account", do you mean remove his Apple ID as well as all his stuff (music, movies, and whatever else is housed in iTunes)?  If so, delete all his stuff (music, etc.), have him deauthorize the computer (Store > Deauthorize This Computer), and sign out of his account (Store > Sign Out) and then sign in to yours.
    If all you want to do is remove his Apple ID and not fuss with his stuff, then things get more complicated, because you do not own his stuff.

  • Why can you not use Apple Pay for purchases in the App Store or iTunes?

    To make a purchases in the App Store or iTunes, it appears you can only pay by entering Mastercard, Visa, Discover, or AmEx information.   If you select none and try to make a purchase, you will again be prompted to enter this information.  I would like to use my Apple Pay account to pay for Apps/tunes, but that doesn't  seem possible.  It seems this negates one of the primary benefits of Apple Pay, which is to make purchases without turning over your credit card information to the merchant, in this case Apple.  I know you can pay with Touch ID, but that is only authoring payment from your credit card information you have on file.

    Hello ToastyFlake,
    It sounds like you are wanting to use ApplePay to purchase content from either the iTunes or App Stores. According to the following article, you are correct. ApplePay is for in-app (if the app supports it) or purchasing from a retail store. 
    Set up and use Apple Pay
    Pay with Apple Pay in stores
    On iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, you can use Apple Pay in stores that accept contactless payments. Look for one of these symbols at checkout:
    Pay with Apple Pay in apps
    On iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air 2, and iPad mini 3, you can use Apple Pay to pay within apps when you see the “Buy with Apple Pay” or “Apple Pay”  button as a payment method. Look for these buttons in apps:
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Why Can't I watch any types of videos on apps except for Instagram?

    I Can't watch videos on any apps! For example: Youtube, facebook. But I can watch videos on Instagram? It happends the same thing on My iPad 3.

    Download the offline installer here: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac /install_flash_player_11_osx.dmg
    If it won't download directly, right click and "Save as"…
    DO NOT mount the DMG or run the installer yet!
    Quit your Browser (Press Cmd+Q - Don't just close the window)
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
    Trash the Flash Player.plugin file from there
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe
    Trash the Flash Player folder (the whole folder)
    Empty the trash
    Reboot (This will "kill" all running processes)
    Before launching any apps, mount the DMG and run the installer.
    BEFORE opening any Flash content in Safari, open Safari>Preferences, and check the Security tab once again to make sure "Allow all other plugins" is checked.

  • Why can I not make any in app purchases?  The two games I have tried are game of war fire age and candy crush.  They both tell me that my device cannot connect to iTunes.  I've tried on my iPhone 5s as well as my iPad mini2.

    I've tried restarting both devices, I've reinstalled the apps, I've reset both devices, I've logged out and back in, and I've tried on both wifi and cellular.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Also, I have purchased other apps and music on iTunes since the problem started.

  • HT204370 I rented a movie on my iPad from iTunes why can't I watch it on my Apple TV?

    I rented a movie on my iPad from iTunes why can't I watch it on my Apple TV?

    At the moment it's not possible to copy films rented on an iPad to another device - from here :
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Why Apple have decided to do that I don't know, but you can try leaving feedback via this page : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • 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?

    Greetings Heather,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with the Podcasts app. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities,

  • Why can I not download any apps to my Itouch Gen 2?

    Why can I not download any apps to my Itouch Gen 2?
    SO, I just purchased 2 4th gen ITouch’s and a 2nd gen Ipad for my kids. All is well and fine however my second gen device is toast so I am using one of my kids older 2 gen ITouch. My kids had been complaining that they could not download anything on the 2nd gen devices but I figured they were doing something wrong, my bad. The device has Netflix that works just fine but I am finding that if I were to delete the app and did not have it backed up I would not be able to get it back from the appstore. The device has been taken care of and is in good working order,  but I am finding that Apple has chosen to no longer support IOS4.2.1 which I get. However I would expect that at a minimum I would be able to download any app that was available for the 4.2.1 os at the time the next version was released.
    Drive space it cheap and ****** off customers are expensive.
    Apparently Apple has planned obsolescence built into their business plan which I am finding pretty hard to swallow.
    I just purchased over a grand worth of new devices and I am wondering if that was wise since apparently apple will deem them obsolete in a couple of years. That great because the newer devises are great, however I have a devise that there is nothing wrong with and apple has made the choice to no longer support the devise and not allow applicable software downloads making the devise basically useless. This is not supporting your customers!
    I would hope that Apple changes their posture on this planned Obsolescence and backs its products durability with the ability to get applicable apps for the actual lifetime of the devise and not some 2 year window.
    I brought my concerns to the nearest apple store where they gave me some song and dance about how the older devise was not fast enough. This is probably true for the newer apps but I think if this was a limitation then ITunes should make the newest version of the app at the time of the app is available for the devise.
    Like I said drive space is cheap and this is like a row in some database.
    I am wondering if I will continue to buy apple products.

    If it really is only your email, that is not valid, reset your primary email address at  https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    If that does not work, because of a forgotten password or security questions, or because your account has been disabled for security purposes, you need to give Apple Support a call - only they will be able to help you. See this webpage on how to contact Apple Support in your country: There are either telephone numbers given or an email form:
         Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
    Explain, that you need help with an account security problem.
    You can also try to email the iTunes Support using this form:    https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • HT4623 Why can't I install any apps keeps saying that my session has timed out

    Why can't I install any apps it keeps saying my session has timed out

    Thanks for your suggestion Ned01, I tried this as a last ditch attempt, unfortunatly it made no difference in my case, but i'm pleased it did for you. However, because you reminded me to have another go at this problem, i tried something else (which i'd unsucsessfuly tried before), that is, i deleted the 'CLICK & SAVE " a/c i'd set up recently,  and reverted to my previous payment me and would you know it , this time it worked !! I set up a trail purchase and it worked.
    It seems to me that other poeple with this problem have to solve it by trail and error, but thank you for your help.Sandystone..

  • Why can't I open any of the attachments in my email

    Why can't I open any of the attachments in my email.  I did not have this problem before

    What is your operating system?
    What is your email client?
    What is your Reader version?
    What exactly means "can't"?
    Does this happen for any attachments, or just PDF files?
