Why I cannot download-buy-play HD movies from iTunes ?

Hello Apple Support Community,
Please, help me to understand this better by answering the following questions:
1- Is Mandatory to have an HDCP-capable HD Televisión ?
2 - Is it necessary to always connect the laptop to such TV ?
3 - Can this type of video quality be downloaded-bought-played in the laptop alone (without having to connect it to the HD TV) ?
4 - Is there any driver that can be installed in the laptop to get rid of the HDTV ?
Common Laptop Tech Specs used in my case:
* Gateway NV55C series (HDCP capable via HDMI)
* 8 GB in RAM
* Plenty of free HDD.
* HMDI port
* Intel Pentium P6100 Processor - Dual Core
* Windows 7
Your help is welcome.
Thanks,
-- Michael Angelo

  • HT203180 Why can't my IPad play HD movies from Itunes out of the box. I have a new IPAD purchased in Sept 2012?

    I recently purchased an iPad in September 2012. Tonight I thought I would download Spiderman in HD and take advantage of the iPad to view it. After I paid my $5.99 to itunes and downloaded the movie I found I can't get it to run.
    What a disappointment. I always had faith in apple until now. I lost two hours of my life looking around for a solution to this and found none.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    When I pay top dollar I expect top quality.

    There is no resolution needed, as this is not a problem.
    I am saying not the device, but the Apple ID is what needs to be the same, unless the movie is rented.
    If the movie is rented, it can only reside on one device at a time.  But from your error message above, I don't think that is your situation.
    Your error message suggests a different Apple ID purchased the movie.  If you want to see it, you must use your computer's iTunes, go to Store > Authorize This Account in the iTunes menu on your computer, and have that purchaser sign in with their Apple ID and password, then sync your iPad to that computer.

  • Why can't I no longer watch movies from iTunes while they are downloading?

    Why can't I no longer watch movies from iTunes while they are downloading?

    Videos and movies purchased from the iTunes Store are by demand of the content owners copy protected and cannot be edited, regardless of what the software is you attempt to use. There is nothing anyone here can do to help you with that. If you need to be able to edit videos, you'll need to purchase and import the DVD - such importing is despite the content owners' efforts still legal for class use (as with any copyright issue, confirm fair use issues with your district's legal office) though we can't discuss methods here - which you'll then be able to edit.
    Regards.

  • I downloaded and bought a movie from iTunes on my iPad and now want the same movie on my MacBook Pro but its not offering me to download it, it giving me the options of buying it which I already did. How I get the movie onto my MacBook?

    You can connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, that should copy it over to the Movies part of your library.
    Depending upon what country that you are in, and whether the film studio allows it, you might also be able to re-download it on your Mac via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page.

  • HT1933 Why is it that I rented a movie from iTunes on my computer but it is not showing in my Apple TV to view

    Why is it that I rented a movie from iTunes on my computer but it is not showing in my Apple TV to view

    Hello Amy,
    You can but the method varies depending on the Apple TV that you have.
    From the article How to rent a movie from the iTunes Store on your computer found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1390:
    To rent movies from the iTunes Store on your computer
    In iTunes on your computer, click iTunes Store.
    In the iTunes Store, find a movie you want to rent.
    Click Rent. Your rental should begin to download immediately.
    Once the rental is downloaded, you can watch it on your computer or transfer the rental to a supported iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV (1st generation):
    Connect the device and select it in iTunes.
    Click the Movies button.
    Select the movie, and then click Move.
    After all movies have been moved, click Apply in the lower-right corner of iTunes.
    You must be connected to the Internet to transfer a rented movie.
    If you have Apple TV 2nd gen. or later you can use Airplay to play it on your tv through the Apple TV.
    Here is the article to help get that setup and going.

  • Quick Time will not play HD movies from itunes

    When i'm on the road with my computer I like to be able to play my HD movies without having to open Itunes. So i use Quick Time. But with the HD movies I buy from Itunes this does not work. When I try and play the HD movies on Quick Time, the movie acts like it's playing but the screen is gray. The bar on the bottom displaying the time for the movie is going, but there is no video or audio.
    Is this a problem with authorization or something?

    I have the same problem,i have sync it to my computer and there is no problem to see it but on my iphone 4s can't find it,please help or I just never gonna buy movies from Itunes,i mean why is itunes so difficult to use?

  • My ipad is struggling to download purchased or rental movies from itunes, both directly or from icloud.  It has resulted in over 80GB of data been used up in a day!  Help

    I first had this problem a week ago, when I tried to download a movie from icloud onto my ipad.  Over night 80GB had been used.  From memory the message read 'Cannot downloaod this movie now'.  Then last night I downloaded a rental directly from itunes onto the ipad.  I was able to watch the movie last night, but did not finish it. Today my internet provider again alerted me that 70 GB had been used.  So I thought i would see if the movie was still available and similiar message appeared.  So to try to stop the rest of my data disappearing I have reset ipad to factory defaults and reset network.  Now I am too scared to ever watch a movie with itunes again.  Which is stupid as the only reason I bought the ipad over a samsung is for itunes movies.  Please help.  Is this a common problem, why is this happening and will I ever be able to watch a movie on the ipad?
    Thanks

  • Trouble with Playing Rental Movies from iTunes

    I rented a movie on iTunes (on my apple TV). It started to play after about 5 minutes, no problem. Then after about 50 minutes, I went into Menu, by mistake while trying to pause the movie.... That's it.... cant get back to the movie afer that.
    The movie was no where to be found. When i searched again and found the movie, it allowed me to rent it again - on selecting play option, it said movie already rented but not download and to 'download' it go into Menu>iTunes Store>Check for Rentals.
    I do that and it just seems to go on endlesslu without anything happening.
    Why cant i just play the movie again?
    Any suggestions please

    This got sorted out.
    I chose a diffent itunes store.
    then came back to the original store and i can view the rental movies

  • I can't play my movies from iTunes when i connect to my HDTV.

    I'm having trouble viewing my video from iTunes on my hdtv. I have a 2013 MBP 13" retina display runing OS X Mavericks. i recently bought an hdmi cable so i can hook up my MBP to my HDTV and watch my videos from iTunes.But when i open my itunes and try to play a video is just shows the play and its black. no maker how much i press play it doesnt show on the tv. i disconnect the cable and it show on my mbp. but once again when i plug in the hdmi is goes black again. can anyone help me play my movies to my hdtv.

    What happens if you click play and start the movie and THEN plugin the HDMI cable?
    I am not 100% but pretty sure this is intentionally being blocked by iTuens as a DRM restriction by copyright holders.  Windows media player does the same thing.  You can not play movies or other potentially copyrighted content though the video out (HDMI in this case) port on the computer. 
    This is a legal restriction Apple is under.  Not something they do by choice.  One simple way around it would be to by an AppleTV.  They are $100 and let you play your iTunes, iPhoto, etc. content on your TV.  It would also be much more convent since it is meant for this and would let you control the content via remote control.
