Not only on Apple Communities, there are still many such kind of questions on some projector communities that have been aroused for an answer. Why can't we play iTunes movies on projector directly?<\/p>\n
Part 2: Why Can't We Play iTunes Movies on Projector Directly? <\/h2>\n
We need to figure out this before we could learn how to play iTunes movies on projector. In the paste, probably 4 or 5 years ago, Apple actually indeed allowed their users to purchase or rent movies from iTunes Store, and then watch over projector via several settings. However, this has changed afterwards. People who purchase or rent movies from iTunes Store couldn't play iTunes movies on projector now. They will receive a prompt notice saying \"This movie cann't be played because a display that is not authorized to play protected movies is connected.\"<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\nTo make it simple, all these are due to the MPAA\u2019s requirements. Short for Motion Picture Association of America, MPAA is an American trade association representing the six major film studios of Hollywood that has been concentrated on protecting copyrighted materials from being illegal uses or publishing online and offline. <\/p>\n
Because of the Motion Picture Association of America, Apple has placed new restrictions called HDCP (short for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection, a form of digital copy protection developed by Intel Corporation to prevent copying of digital audio & video content as it travels across connections), which will not allow you to play iTunes rentals or purchases on some older data projectors. Therefore it is no longer possible to connect them to a projector and play them easily, though movies bought through Google, Amazon, Hulu, etc., play just fine when connected to a projector. <\/p>\n
Therefore, the DRM (Digital Right Management) protection has result in iTunes movies not working on projector. If you want to watch iTunes movies on projector, you have to firstly remove the DRM protection upon iTunes movies, which will be described in detail below.<\/p>\n
