There is a really good sticky on here about using different kinds of juice. Check to see if there is potassium sorbate added to the cider also. It is a preservative that hinders yeast reproduction. It can be overcome but will add some more steps to your production.

Using pasteurized juice is no problem at all. If you're using store bought juice, it's probably all going to be either UV or Flash pasteurized. As Pintsman stated, you just want to steer clear of any preservatives.
It's best if you can find juice that states 100% apple juice on the ingredients, but Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) is fine. I've heard that it adds a little tartness to the final product though.
