All my recordings are black screens

I'm still using Captivate 3, and recently loaded it on a new computer, Windows 7 64 bit. At first it was working fine, but now when I record, the slides are black. I can see the mouse and its movement, but not the actual screen. I have two monitors, by unplugging one I was able to get it to work again for a bit, but now that solution isn't working either.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Try setting it to work with compatibility for Windows XP 32 bit. You may be lucky.
However, it's quite possible that you won't get it to work at all since Windows 7 was just a gleam in Bill Gate's eye when Captivate 3 was released. And there were very few (if any) 64 bit systems out at the time for the Adobe Captivate developers to test the app with. Some people even find they cannot get Captivate 4 to run on Win 7 64bit.
On the encouraging side, I seem to be one of the lucky ones. I not only have Captivate 4 working on my DELL Win7 Ultimate 64bit lappy but I also have Captivate 3 working there as well.

All my illustrations are black and white!

I reinstalled iTunes and synchronized my iPod and noticed that all the illustrations are all of a sudden in black and white! I checked iTunes and in iTunes they are in black and white too. They used to be in colour before reinstalling. If I play the song in a mediaplayer, the picture is in colour too. I reinstalled iTunes again and loaded the songs in iTunes again but that did not work. Can anyone help me out?

Is it possible that you're not viewing all channels? In the top right hand corner is a drop down menu where you can select to view all channels, or alpha, red, green or blue. If red green or blue are selected that might make video appear "black and white" and you'll need to change it back to "all".

All my photos are Black Exclamation Marks - iphoto on ExtHD

My iphoto library is stored on an ext HD. i had a power outage now when i reopen iphoto all photos are black exclamation marks. how can i restore or fix this? i tried rebuild function but it didnt work. thanks

Since the rebuild fix didn't solve the problem give this a go:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
Note: if the latest version, V4, of iPhoto Library Manager doesn't run download the earlier version, V3. It's available at the same website.

ITunes loads but I cannottype into the search box and all download menues are black. I downloaded several times the latest software. Completly uninstalled McAfee. Nothing helps.

Itunes lo but I cannot type into the search bos. In addition a dropdown menues are black. Downloaded the latest iTune software (several times). Uninstalled McAfee security. Nothing seems to help. I used iTunes for several years...

After using Macs for a number of years at both school and work, I finally ordered an iMac G5 of my own. When the DualDiscs came out I bought a few because I wnated all the content I could get. Attempting to play them on my iMac at work however, proved problematic. The audio side would spin for a few seconds then eject. I was slightly annoyed, but settled for playing the DVD audio versions of the albums as I worked. In my car stereo, the audio would work, but any other player it would not.
When my personal iMac came, I expected the same problem- only the DVD side would play. Imagine my surprise when every DualDisc I attempted to rip (Switchfoot, Bruce Springsteen, Rob Thomas, Ben Folds, The Wallflowers, Oasis, David Gray) in iTunes was read and successfully ripped.
So I wonder this- is it as much a problem with older Superdrives not being able to read the thicker discs as anything else?
Or am I an anomaly

When I start iphoto08 all the photos are black.I only can see the comment to the Picture.

When I start iphoto08 I only see black events and no pictures.I can see my comments.Who can help

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

I recently updated to iOS8.1on my iPad 1and it ran very slow. Just a few minutes ago, it shut down compoeteoy and I cannot get ANY response at all. Just a black screen. Any help pkease?

Can anyone tell me how to restart my iPad that just shut down, while I was reading a book on Overdrive? I still had plenty of battery life. I tried to reboot holding down the off button, but no response at all.

Photos that are in the cloud stay there until they are removed by a device that has the right privileges. If your iPad is logged in with the same AppleID, then doesn't it show the photos from iCloud?
You will only be on iCloud Drive if you expressly chose to upgrade.

After latest OS update, half of all menu bars are black, anyone else?

Hi,
I'm on a refurb MBP and just updated to OSX 10.8.3. It was fine yesterday after the restart, it slept all night, never shut it off, then when I opened it up this morning all of my menu bars are half blacked out. They still work. I just have to hover and click. But notice the apple is over the "help" menu? Strange. When you click on that apple you get the help menu, the original apple menu can still be accessed from it's original location. And the fact that only half of it is blacked out suggests a glitch rather than a setting switch.
Anyone having the same issue?
Thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

MacBook Pro won't start at all - clicking noise with black screen

Early 2011 MacBook Pro won't start: makes clicking noise after power button is held down, but no screen movement and after click, sounds like computer just stops working. Already did a SMC reset, and undid battery to try to run on charger power only. Same result every time. Also, my Apple Care expired 3 days ago. A few weeks ago had to repair a disk using Disk Utility because there was a discrepancy between how much storage was in the drive versus how much was actually being used.

You likely have the problem that many of us 15" and 17" 2011 models are having: a faulty soldering GPU and as discussed here -> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4766577?tstart=0. It usually, but not always, beings with screen glitches and then gets to the point where the machine will simply not boot.
It's ashamed that you're not longer under AppleCare which would have, at least, got you a new logic board. A new logic board, however, doesn't usually fix the situation - only a BGA Reballing of the GPU seems to have long-lasting fixes.
Read through a few the articles (not all of them!) and make the decision yourself - and then make the decision about whom your going to contact.
Good luck,

All flash videos have black screen and cause Firefox crashes

Whenever I'm playing a video with Flash, the screen is black although the sound is playing. Then Firefox is crashing.
I'm using the newest Firefox Version (28.0) on Mac OS 10.9.2 (newer Macbook Air) and the newest Flash version. I tried Safe mode and deactivated my plug-ins to make sure it's Flash.
I re-installed Flash and installed but it didn't help.
My Firefox crash reports say "hang | libsystem_kernel.dylib@0x15a3a" under signature and "EXC_BREAKPOINT / 0x00000002" under crash reason.

I solved this problem by disabling hardware acceleration in the settings of adobe flash (right click/context menu). Although this might be difficult if the video is crashing before you were able to access the settings menu.

After update to 10.2 (all 50p) clips are black..:(

I just opened a 2013 fcpx project to find a lot of the red sections in the timeline
as seen in the image. that is just horrible.
the clips are still in the browser and look like this in the browser:
as you can see, not all clips are affected. having a closer look, it seems that 25p clips are
still there and fine, and the affected ones are the ones filmed in 50p.
All clips were filmed with the Panasonic GH3, as said, the affected ones in 1080p50,
all h264 and usually fcpx just works great using GH3 footage.
The quick fix in this panic situation was to transcode to pro res, but this almost blew up my ssd...:(
Any idea or help how to fix this? i also still have a documentary film project with tons of 50p
material which i can t transcode entirely just to skim through...
Please help, I hope there s a fix for this problem

I allready reported the situation to apple.
the support doc (which doesn t apply because the files are not avchd but mov and it s no mac pro)
sounds more than frustrating. basically they say that one should not record in 50p, and downgrade
to the older fcpx..
hope that they ll fix it soon. can t really get how they push out such a big update without checking
some really common file formats with it. I guess the NAB brought them in a hurry.
For proffesional use, like in this job i have to finish now, it s a dissapointment.

I can no longer burn a disc. The command to do so does not appear in my Files menu. All my recordings are 100% legal. I have installed a new version (it still looks the same), but that hasn't helped. I have done so before.

All my music is from legal sources (albums owned by me, others from iTunes), but the Burn Disc command does not appear in the File menu, and nothing I do helps. I downloaded a new version of iTunes, but it still loks the same and may just be the same. But the problem started long before I did that.

This did nothing. Where do I click on the playlist? As far as I have experienced, the playlist is a list of songs with ticks against them on the left. I can use the control key, but where do I point my cursor to select the playlist?
You don't even need to show the general Sidebar as suggested by others.
Select Playlists in the top buttons:
then control-click on the playlist you wish to burn in left column, e.g.:

Macbook won't start up at all, stuck on a black screen.

I went on my Macbook this morning, for about 20 minutes and then suddenly it turned off (whilst plugged in). I tried turning it back on but it wouldn't. It has charge (I checked the battery indicators) and help would be much appreciated as I have a lot of important information on there.

and how can I fix it without losing everything again?
