Why would a rented movie work on the ground but not in the air?

This is the craziest thing.  I rented a movie from my MacBook Pro and then transferred it to my iPad 2 for a flight.  However once I got on the plane each time I tried to open it I received a message that the movie could not be opened.  OK.  I figured I made a mistake in the transfer.  Once I got home I tried to open the movie again (in Airplane mode, just to be sure) and it loaded right up.  I didn't press play since I was leaving on another flight in two days.  Got on the flight and had the exact same problem.  Once I landed I tried it again and it loaded right up, but I didn't hit play because I have another flight on Friday.  What are the odds it will occur three times in a row?  I have 20 days left on the rental and about six more flights.  This could be fun.
To lend a little irony to the situation the movie is "Up In The Air".  Anyone have any clue what the heck is going on?  The only variable among the two instances is that in the air I had headphones plugged in, but on the ground I didn't.

Hi Dominique:
First-if your mac can control the camera but not see the video,
*Open Garageband
*Play a note or two
*Close Garageband
*Open iMovie
The camera will work now-REALLY!!
If not, look here:

  • HT5170 Why would I be getting this update if I am not, to the best of my knowledge, anyone's ARD client???

    Why would I be getting this update if I am not, to the best of my knowledge, anyone's ARD client? I have not installed ARD in this computer, but am constantly getting permissions repair messages regarding remote management from Disk Utility. Very weird...

    Yes, it's annoying but the messages are innocuous and you may ignore them. They will be repeated every time you repair permissions. The ARD client was installed by Software Update at some point in the past.
    You don't need to repair permissions unless you've received a permissions error message from OS X.

  • My movies and music videos won't show up on screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this?

    My movies and music videos won't show up on my computer screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this? I'm not sure what to do as far as turning my purchased movie into DVD goes either. I just want to put the movie onto a DVD disc but my itunes won't even show that I have a blank disc in the drive, I'm not sure what is wrong or how to fix this, any help at all would be much appreciated.

    Hi @anthony7722 ,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
    I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control.  You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
    When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
    Here are two links that I believe will help.
    Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
    Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
    Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
    Please try this process.
    1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them  but do not install them yet
    2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
    3. restart your notebook
    4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
    5. restart your notebook
    6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver. 
    You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
    This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
    I hope this helped.

  • Why is my Apple id working on my MacBook but not my iPad?

    Why is my Apple id working on my MacBook but not my iPad? I can log in o.k. on my MacBook, but using the same user name and password on my iPad, I just get the Incorrect Apple ID or Password message.
    on my iPad, I have used the Forgotten Apple ID or Password link and reset the password. Even after I get the successfully reset password message it still gives me the Incorrect Apple ID or Password message!
    In desperation I have restored the iPad to Factory settings. It appears to be running OS 7. something.
    My Macbook is running 10.8.5.
    But the same problme persists.
    Please help

    Hi Tiri2014,
    There are some differences between Remote PowerShell and Exchange Management Shell. You cannot use the pipeline when you run some cmdlets by using Remote PowerShell.
    Here’s a link to similar case for your reference:

  • The screen on my iPhone is frozen and I can access apps through Siri. The touch screen works within the apps but not in the home screen. What do I do?

    the screen on my iPhone is frozen and I can access apps through Siri. The touch screen works within the apps but not in the home screen. What do I do?

    Have you tried a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?

    The scroll function on my mousepad is disabled when viewing a pdf file in firefox version 5.0. The scroll works on the pdf, but not on the other tabs. When the pdf is closed, the scroll function returns to normal. Any ideas?!

    Hey thanx for the help, it worked like a charm.
    I think firefox changed the application lay out, as I used to be able to choose my PDF opener from the list at " Adobe Acrobat Forms Document' where I could choose Nitro-PDF reader, but it has now moved all the way to the bottom like you suggested to the obvious place of "Portable Document Format" section.
    If someone didn't tell me , I wouldn't have scrolled all the way down to be able to find it... it really should be with all its cousins up the top...
    Cheers again..

    As for tracking the source of your problem your applet sucks.
    Try e.printStackTrace() on a cought exception and check the (full) trace.
    url=new URL("http://www.developpez.com");
    Unless yor applet is on www.developpez.com this will throw an exception in an unsigned
    applet without special policies.

  • I would like to change my back ground color in one frame for a logo that i am using I am able to change it on the canvas but not on the timeline?

    I would like to change my back ground color in one frame for a logo that i am using I am able to change it on the canvas but not on the timeline?

    Are you using FCPX? It doesn't have a canvas. Do you really mean one frame, like 1/30th of a second? Add a custom generator underneath the logo. Make it whatever color you want. Make it however short you want.

  • IMovie seems to have developed a glitch. When i try to import photos they show in the timeline but not in the movie.

    iMovie seems to have developed a glitch. When i try to import photos they show in the timeline but not in the movie.
    Any ideas?

    You are probably looking in the wrong place - all photos in Photo view and in event too unless you have a corrupted library
    most common cause of your not finding them is bad sort - view menu ==> sort events
    Nest most common cause is a bad data/time on the camera - this can be corrected using a smart album to find the photos from that camera and then using using the adjust time/date command to fix the bad ones
    YOu can alwasy find the event a Photo is in by selecting it and selecting show event

  • HT4436 I have a laptop Mac and an IPad, and would like to transfer pictures, videos, etc from the ipad to the Mac but not from the Mac to the IPad, how can I set up the iCloud in both devises to do so?

    I have a laptop Mac and an Ipad, and would like to transfer pictures, videos, etc from the ipad to the Mac but not from the Mac to the Ipad, how can I set up the iCloud in both devises to do so?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your best method would be to connect via USB and transfer that way, since videos are not transferred using photostream.
    However you can stop photos on your mac being added to photostream in the iPhoto preferences > photostream by unchecking the automatic upload box.

  • HELP!! WRT54G2 works for one computer, but not for the other

    I have a WRT54G2 and it is connected to 2 computers. The internet works in one computer, but not on the other. The tech support said i needed to configure it or firmware or something like that. But my product is out of warranty and I really need the internet on the other computer as well. Please Help!!!

    As your one computer is working fine then there is no problem with the router so far...
    The computer which is not working...check the IP Address on that...
    Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
    IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...
    If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer...
    If you get 4 replies then type ping 4.2.2.2 and press Enter, if you get request timed out, then you need to upgrade your router's firmware...If you get 4 replies then type ping yahoo.com and press Enter...If you get replies for Yahoo then you should get the Internet after adjusting the browser settings...
    Adjusting Browser Settings : Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...
    If yahoo times out then provide static DNS on your LAN Connection...
    Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>>Network Connections- Right click on the icon for Local Area Connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select 'Use the Following DNS Settings' Preferred DNS 4.2.2.2 Alternate DNS - 192.168.1.1>>Click on Ok button to Save and Click on "Close" on main Properties window...You should be able to go online...
