ITunes purchased shows do not playback just a black screen

My wife and son are leaving tomorrow to ME. We purchased ~1$12 worth of shows. They playback in iTunes application but do not playback on her iPod video 30GB and she is running 1.1.2 firmware.
You can select the video and feel the drive queueing it up but just a black screen is displayed. I have other videos I have converted myself and they work fine.
Any ideas on what causes this?

  • My ipod touch 2g 32GB is not starting, just a black screen.....

    Hi friends and experts,
    I need your help, since yesterday my Ipod 2G 32GB is not starting, only a black screen. I tried several times to turn it on but there is no reaction and when I connect it with pc, I mean with itunes also dead not detecting the device. I also tried to hold the both buttons Start and Home button for 30 seconds etc....nothing happend...so I need your useful and helpful tips to start my Ipod...I don't no what should I do that it starts again..
    with very best regards
    WAQAR   

    Hi,
    Try connecting your iPod to your computer and letting it charge.  It will take a while for iTunes to recognize it, if it is dead.  Once iTunes recognizes your iPod, try resetting it again. 
    Hope this helps!

  • My camera is not working, just a black screen, won't take pics please help

    WWhy won't my camera take pics..just a black screen ?

    CClose the camera app and reset the iPad.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • HT201263 MY IPHONE 5 WILL NOT CHARGE AT ALL AFTER THE BATTERY RAN OUT. ITUNES IS NOT PICKING UP THE IPHONE AND TRIED SEVERAL GENUINE CHARGERS AND STILL IS NOT CHARGING JUST A BLACK SCREEN. THE PHONE HASN`T BEEN DROPPED OR GOT WATER IN IT. IT ONLY 12 MONTH

    I have the Iphone 5, it is just over 12 months old, and it was low on charge, by the time I could get to a charger it had cut out. So i plugged it in the charger like no other time, went back after 10mins and noticed the screen was still black. So i tried to turn it on but nothing still black screen, i changed the charger for my other apple charger and the same thing happened. i decided to plug it in using the usb in the computer and still the same thing has happened. Took it to the apple genuis team to be told they can`t do anything, and now its out of its 12 months warranty makes it even more difficult. Has anyone else had this issue, this is my 4th iphone since they released them and am very dissappointed to say the least that the iphone 5 for me seems to have a life span on just over 12 months and no one is prepared to take any responsiblity as i have not damaged it. One extremely dissappointed Iphone user. Any ideas on how to get it working again?

    My iphon isnt charging. I started recharging, when there was 40% charging left. But it didnt work both with USB and wall charger. I am now trying to reboot and reset, but its not working. Just a black scree is appeared. What to do?

    Try a different cable to charge, use only a wall charger, clean the dock connector on the bottom of the phone.

  • Itunes 10- Song List View is just a black screen!!

    I recently updated to itunes 10, initially it was working fine. Today, my computer bugged out while shutting down and I had to hold the power button on it. When it rebooted I scanned for viruses, errors, adware, etc... I have re-downloaded itunes and selected the 'Repair' option, but it did not help. I have made sure I am up-to-date on both itunes and quicktime updates. I have not seen any similar problems such as this while searching the internet, so I am posting here. If I hit the play button it will still play the songs from whatever playlist I am currently in, and the grid view works, but when I want to view the song list (which is the way i always use my itunes) it just turns the window within itunes, the window that has the song list, completely black. This happens for all of my playlists, recently added, full music collection, any playlist that can be viewed using the song list view. Is there anyone who has also experienced this? What can I do? It took me over 10 hours to create this playlist with the large amount of music I have and I would not be happy to have to sit there an go brain dead again creating it.... please help!

    Tylerdowner, as a moderator, one would think that, prior to adjusting comments/solutions, especially when not having a Mac, you would do more research (bet you know someone with a Mac, to duplicate problem), or pass responding on to a moderator who does have a Mac (I am amazed that you are even a moderator on Mac problems/situations, if you only have access to a PC). Had the solutions above worked, I would not have needed to figure out another solution (we all know the newest release of anything is the most secure). Finally I am open to any fixes (tested) that you can provide, that improve upon mine. As a moderator, maybe you have pull with the Foxtab and/or Adobe people to get them to work out compatibility, and lastly, maybe add a warning at the Foxtab add-ons page, after verifying the problem yourself, with an associate's/friend's Mac.

  • When I try to play an iTunes purchased movie, all I get is a black screen and no sound.  Any suggestions?

    TIA.

    Note that the videos will play fine in Quicktime.  But trying to play the videos in iTunes does not work.  The videos that are sinced will play on my iPhone 4 as well.  Other videos not purchased in iTunes will play fine in iTunes.
    Not above un- and re-installing, but if there is a quicker fix, would prefer that.

  • Firefox not loading-just a black screen

    Hello-
    Mozilla Firefox is not loading on my computer. It just brings up a black page.
    Internet Explorer works just fine though. I can't find any phone numbers or any help for this.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and still have the same problem.
    Can anyone help me with this?

    hello, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem.

    Only way is to bring it to the Apple Store and use the warranty if it hasn't expired

  • ITunes Artwork Screen Saver Not Working. Empty black screen. Garbage collection, memory leak issue? ... malloc: auto malloc[]: attempted to remove unregistered weak referrer 0x ...

    Hey Smart Apples,
    My iTunes Artwork screen saver is not working. After reboot, then selecting iTunes Artwork in System Preferences, just a black screen appears in the preview, as well as when pressing Test, and when allowing the screen saver to start on it's own. The error message in Console says...

    The memory address location at the end of each line is different everytime I preview the screen saver.
    I've tried...
        deleting ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.screensaver.* files
        making sure each album has a cover in iTunes
        running Get Album Artwork in iTunes
        recreating symbolic link ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music -> ~/Public/iTunes Music/
    ... but doesn't help.
    All other screen savers work... my usual is Flurry, and it works too, but gives invalid framebuffer operation under Console.
    Nothing running/checked under Sharing.

    Does anyone have a solution?
    Environment: Mac OS X (10.7.2), Macbook Pro (late 2008)

    So it turned out that the cause of the problem wasn't as complicated as I thought...
    I had a few songs that were not added to the iTunes library, instead referenced from other locations on my hard drive.
    Specifically, if you bring up the Get Info window of a song, under Summary > Where, it may show a different path than your usual iTunes Media folder location, set under Preferences.
    E.g. Where: ~/Desktop/downloaded_song.mp3
    I guess, this happens when you drag a song into your iTunes instead of adding it to the library, and apparently, causes problems with the Artwork Screen Saver.
    Solution:
    To correct it,
    For those songs, go to File > Add to Library...
    Then find and select the song file.
    That's all I had to do to get the screen saver working... All your songs have to be added to your iTunes Library.
    I think my brother was messing around with my playlist... I hope Apple nails a better way to lock-unlock/secure OS X soon (proximity sensor, biometric 3D face recognition, unique voice recognition, soul recognition, etc.).
    That malloc error message still shows up; that must be an unrelated issue with the screen saver.
    I hope this helps out all those suffering through the same issue with their iTunes Artwork Screen Saver.

  • Hello, I can't turn my iphone 4s on, it just broke down and now there's just the black screen with the apple logo on it. So I connected it to itunes and tried to restore it, but than always the errors 1603

    Hello, I can't turn my iphone 4s on, it just broke down and now there's just the black screen with the apple logo on it. So I connected it to itunes and tried to restore it, but than always the errors 1603 & 1611 appeared! please help me!!

    You may have a faulty USB cable. Try another.
    Make sure you are following the instructions in this procedure to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
    Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
    Use iTunes to restore the iPhone.
    If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Select the device in iTunes and choose "restore from backup".
    If you still can't get it to work, you have done all you can and only Apple will be able to help.
