Why is iTunes not letting me watch HD movies using my Macbook Pro Retina?

Please tell me this is a bug...if not this is quite utterly the most ******** thing ever.
I have a brand new MBP-R. I was trying to purchase an HD movie using iTunes and I keep getting a message stating that HD content cannot be played back on this computer stopping me from purchasing it and instead only alowing an SD version. I tried another post's suggestion to try changing the resolution to scaled; however, that didn't work. Any other ideas?

Funny how my about this mac is not displaying the year

  • Why is YouTube not letting me watch videos

    MY iPod touch YouTube app is not letting me watch videos on it can someone please help??

    Like what happens when you try to play a video with the You Tube app?
    Also try:
    iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open
    Contact the developer/go to their support site if only one app.
    Restore from backup. See:

  • HT5887 Why can't I Airdrop between my iPad Mini and my MacBook Pro Retina?

    I recently bought a 13 inch MacBook Pro Retina. Turned on airdrop to link with my iPad Mini (1st version) running iOS 7.0.4. They do not recognize each other. Why does NOT all Apple devices work seamlessly with one another???!!! I have an iPhone 4 that cannot Airdrop with my iPad Mini, and now I have a MacBook Pro Retina that does not Airdrop with any of my Apple devices! That is SO frustrating! Has anyone else experienced this INCOMPATIBILITY between Apple devices?

  • I can't watch DVD movie on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011). Why?

    i have a Macbook pro 13"
    Mac OS X version 10.6.8
    Processor 2.3GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    I tried to mount a DVD movie disc into my macbook but it automatically ejects without running.
    My mac has Windows on bootcamp. The disc wouldn't run on windows as well.
    Is there any problem with my mac? I rmb i could watch DVD on my mac. 

    Hey lilnaix,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like you are experiencing issues with the SuperDrive on your MacBook Pro. The following resource provides some great troubleshooting information.
    Apple Computers: Troubleshooting the slot-loading SuperDrive - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/HT2801
    While you should definitely give the entire article a read, I have highlighted a particular section that may resolve your issue:
    Accepts discs but they don't mount or are automatically ejected
    1. Make sure the drive is not placed upside down. The aluminum enclosure should be facing up as shown in section 1.
    2. Check the disc's surface for scratches and dirt, since these things can prevent the disc from appearing on the desktop.
    3. Connect the MacBook Air SuperDrive directly to the computer's USB port instead a USB hub.
    4. Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
    5. Ensure your drive can read the specific type of disc being used. The System Profiler or System Information may provide additional information regarding what media your computer supports.
    - OS X Snow Leopard v10.6 or earlier: Open Apple System Profiler by choosing "About this Mac" from the Apple () menu. Then, click More Info.
    - OS X Lion v10.7 and later: Click the Apple () menu and then hold down the Option key. Choose System Information from the menu.
    6. If the disc continues to not be recognized, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • How Can I watch 3D movies in My Macbook Pro

    My Macbook Pro is 15inch Corei5.
    It has a dedicated nvdia Graphics.
    I hope this helps.
    I'd like to get the entire process to be described.

    I've not tried this, but found this with Google:

  • HT204074 "Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it." Then why does iTunes not let me authorize any more than 5 devices?

    Why can't I authorize more than 5 devices if the help information says I can have 10?

    Probably because of the GUIDs. When you upgrade or change hardware this tends to happen, especially on PCs.

  • Why are pdf not coding right?? I have 2 macbook pros 15

    Pdfs in lion are coming accross as windat files not pdfs.. but they are working fine on windows pc's this needs fixed fast as it is messing up business flow
    Please advise

    I am using mail. I also did not install the Lion OS at the same times on my mac pros.. to ensure Lion was working proplerly I only isntalled on one then used it a few days then installed on other. pdfs did not come into play until today. Like I said I checked to make sure it was not  mail routing issue or server, as I checked them on 2 of my laptops on different locations. This is something Lion is doing with out a doubt in my mind. If I am wrong so be it, but this is not about being right it is about me getting business done. I will gladly be wrong if it is fixed.

  • I'm using a Macbook Pro Retina. I'm connected using a wifi and FaceTime works perfectly. But if I open Safari(or Chrome, or Firefox or any other brower) it said: you're not connected to the internet. I've also an iPhone that works fine on the same wifi.

    Could it be  because I'm using the same IP address over 2 devices? How can I set them differently?
    Thank you very much.

    Hi.
    Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Then Apply

  • Macbook Pro Retina not working with HDMI

    I have a Mac Book Pro Retina that will not work using the HDMI port. I have tried with two Monitors and difference cable and the issue happens on both. I connected one via a Display Port to VGA and it works fine.
    I'd like to use the HDMI port. I am running Mountain Lion 10.8.4 (Latest Version).
    I have tried deleting the pref panes as outlined in ofther links. Aslo reset pram without sucess.
    Is anyone using a Macbook Pro Retina with builtin HDMI port sucessfully with 10.8.4?
    If you are using HDMI with Display port let me know if I should get an adpater to test.

    Hi walkerheather,
    It sounds like you've already done most of the pertinent steps here:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
    I would recommend going through once and trying anything you may have missed in the section "No video or no signal, image distortion, 'snow,' or flickering" and then follow these steps from the very bottom:
    If you tried all of these steps for your display and the video issues persist, contact Apple technical support or take your Apple computer to the nearest Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).
    Note: Diagnostic fees may apply for issues not covered under warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan (APP).
    Take care,

  • Trying to install update 8.1.3, my iPad says I need 1.5 gb but I actually have 17.1 gb. Why will it not let me install?

    Trying to install update 8.1.3, my iPad says I need 1.5 gb but I actually have 17.1 gb. Why will it not let me install?

    It's probably telling you that you need 1.5 more GB than you have available. Hook up your device to iTunes on the computer you sync with and do the update from there. OTA updates require a lot more memory than ones done via iTunes.
    Cheers,

  • My safari is messed up.  Every time I do anything it randomly opens a new window for a website that looks like a virus. It also will not let me watch anything on Netflix. I don't know what to do, someone help!

    You may have installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

    what can I do to resolve it?

    If you cannot get your rental to play, then report the issue to the iTunes Store to get it resolved or refunded.

  • HT5312 So I have a problem with iTunes not letting me download anything without first responding to some security questions which I don't remember setting up, how can fix it? Oh, and it won't let me reset the questions either!

    So I have a problem with iTunes not letting me download anything without first responding to some security questions which I don't remember setting up, how can fix it? Oh, and it won't let me reset the questions either!

    If you mean that you aren't getting the reset link, then from the page that you posted from :
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so. 
    You can contact iTunes Support in your country via this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use
