I'm repeatedly being told to authorize my computer to play a purchased movie. I've done that several times, no go. I've updated, restored and rebooted to no avail. Any suggestions?
Apple TV, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Appears the issue is bigger than we think. I am affected, apple tv was fine yesterday and now I can't play any purchased moves. TV, and Music Videos are fine.
I'm experiencing the same problem with the authorization error. I was able to watch a movie thru Apple TV by starting it first in iTunes and then switching the output to my Apple TV.
Yes, all works fine here as well excepting movies. Anyone have any experience in regard to how long it will take Apple to fix this - assuming someone in this thread has reported it?
It's the same HDMI cable I've used for almost a year on my ATV2 and never had any issues. It was playing fine tonight and stopped in the middle of a purchased episode.
This particular issue is NOT related to an HDMI cable. It is specifically related to iTunes servers interacting with iTunes clients.
Having the same problems this evening. Thanks for the tip above kestrel73 - I started my movie on my mac and then switched ouput to AppleTV and it worked.
Having same issue here. Cannot watch any of the shows in my library.
I just started getting this same error tonight. I am also getting error 105 when I try to watch Netflix. I have tried everything I can think of.
I'm having the issue with Netflix too in addition to the authorization issue.
Same issue here...must've been an update gone wrong!!! Is it possible to resotor the AppleTV without installing updates?
Jason w.f. -- How do you leave a service message with Apple? Is there a web link?
I'm having the same problem too. Mine is with music that I have purchased. Very frustrating to have built and PAID for all of this music and then be told I'm not authorized to play it.
Part of the problem seems to have gone away. I can now watch TV Shows through the ATV's Purchased menu.
I'm going to boot my media machine next to see if I can watch material from it now.
Same issue here ... 'Authorization is required'. Just started yesterday. Hope this gets resolved soon.
Exact same issue here, since this morning
Apple TV keeps telling me to Authorize my computer.
