Apple TV Random Black Screen During Slideshow

Hello
I have just bought a new Apple TV 160 GB and sync'd all my photos (20GB) and music (15-16GB) to it using iTunes on my Windows XP computer.
It was working fine, however over the past few days I have noticed that during the slideshow, a photo will apear for a few seconds, then the screen will go black. After a couple of seconds the next photo comes up and everything is fine. Then in another few minutes, the same thing will happen.
I updated the software following the updates function on the Apple TV a few days ago. I cannot be certain, but I don't remember this problem happening before. Does anyone have any advice? I can try to reset the Apple TV and see if the previous software version has the problem, but I don't want to as it takes a very long time to sync all the music and photos.
Many many thanks in advance.
Allan

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Is this repeatable with the same photo's or when you replay the slideshow does it occur to different photos.

  • Black screen during slideshow

    This question might have been asked, but the person didn't specify slideshow. When I open my pictures in iphoto, they appear fine in the library. When I try to create a slide show, I just get a black screen. Sometimes if I click on one it might open in preview or it might appear black.
    What is causing this? How might I fix it?
    Thanks

    Welcome To Discussions.
    Tell us what version of iPhoto you are using.
    If you click on the slideshow option and get a blank screen it is because you have not selected any photos, album or roll first.
    This presumes you can view these photos in the iPhoto window.
    Opening in Preview has nothing to do with iPhoto. I would warn you against trying to open any photos in the iPhoto Library folder with another application. This is the iPhoto database and you must leave it alone.

  • Apple IMac 27 has a problem. Random black screen. Over 1 year without any fix

    Apple IMac 27 has a problem.
    Random black screen.
    Over 1 year without any successful fix.
    IMac 27 10.8.4 (12E55) - bought in 2010
    3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    4GB 1067 Mhz RAM
    Graphics ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB
    The IMac computer screen goes black randomly but the machine still running beyond.
    In order to go back to normal i need to awake the computer by hitting with the pointer a hot corner previously created " sleep mode" ( top left ).
    ..the black screen would come back after one second again..and then again and then again and then again..with different intervals..sometime 2 seconds after the other, sometime as soon as appears the user login screen.
    I took the machine to an Apple Store two times over one year, they opened, cleaned it but they didn't replace anything has they could not understand what they real problem was. I was happy for that because they didn't try to make me spend money on something which was not going to solve my issue for sure.
    Last time i kindly asked them to inspect everything meticulously, part by part, i left the machine with them for over 2 months. They couldn't understand why this was happening..after couple of weeks, 5 more machines came in with the same problem.
    On some of them., upon request of the client they changed the graphic card but apparently this was not the fix, the problem come back again. Apparently changing the graphic card or the screen or else it didn't solve any problem to anyone. I'm almost thinking to "trough it out of the window"..we all spend money for this machines and i think we need to know if Apple is looking in to this or not.
    Lately i tried to do an SMS RESET and PRAM RESET, it feels it got better a little but problem still coming back.
    Also, all usb  devices are disconnected and the problem still there
    Below you will see a copy of the console report. I honestly don't understand much of it as i'm not a computer guy.

    I'm now thinking to try to take the machine to its original firmware and see if it still does it, does anyone have any sugestion?
    I use a lot photoshop and other image software, this computer is essential for my work. For more then one year this issue caused me problems.
    Luckly i have a Macbook Pro too and i managed to do some of my work there. At last I was thinking to buy an external screen and attach it to the Macbook pro in order to work on my big images. But who wants to spend money again!!!???? This is not a fixture, this is silly. I wish to have my IMAc working again.
    The warranty it's obviously over and this problem happened right after the warranty was over...
    I write this post because i'm so tired of this issue and online nothing can be found apart from posts from so many people that have the same problem and no fixture has been found.
    The only fixture seams to be to buy a new computer... Ole'!!!..new money flowing in in the cashier!! forget it!!! i would rather change company if apple doesn't respond to this.
    For over 10 years i have been a Apple owner..
    When this problem appears it's like someone it's playing a joke at you...
    Comments welcome..
    Thanks

    Hi, I've seem to have found out the source of the problem.
    The issue is related to heat, and an iMac 27" gets hot pretty fast.
    If I boot the iMac straight after first start into Windows 7 I seem to get a lit built-in display at all times. I can also boot OS X first and then into Windows 7 and the built-in screen get lit every time as long as the iMac isn't hot.
    Strange thing is that the monitor connected to the display port gets lit every time. So I can only assume that the heat only interfere with output to the built-in LED screen.
    So this iMac is going to an Apple premium reseller for service, and I'll tell you guys how it went.

  • IMac 27 Late 2009 with Random black screen at startup of Windows 7!

    Hi, I'll try to explain the my random black screen issue as best I can.
    I have a boot camp partition with Windows 7 x64 Ultimate installed.
    I used the USB method to install, all goes well and Windows 7 gets installed, I update drivers, install boot camp etc. all is good, right!
    My problem is that everything seems to be in working order, but the built in LED screen will only get lit/active in 1 out of 5 times at startup of Windows, eg. the built in screen stays black/off (black screen issue), like the install issue on iMac 27 I7 w/ATI 4850.
    NOTE! When booting OS X the built in LED screen gets lit/active on every startup.
    So what I did was connect a second LCD monitor via Display port to DVI, this monitor/screen has no issues, it gets lit/active on every startup of Windows, even if the built in screen/monitor stays black/off (black screen issue).
    NOTE! I have tested both the latest drivers from Apple (10.4 19/MAR/2010, found on the USB install method) and AMD ATI Catalyst Driver (10.8 25/AUG/2010). The issue remains on both Apple released drivers and AMD ATI released drives.
    1. So to me it seems like there are some detection/communication issues between the built in monitor and the video card on Windows 7, as there is no issue detecting and activating a monitor connected to the display port.
    Are we missing a monitor driver in Windows that OS X has, or is this a hardware issue that Apple knows about and compensates for in OS X with on load firmware, driver or a kernel fix?
    2. Does anyone else have this issue on their 27" iMac Late 2009 I7, ATI HD 4850 machine?
    If yes, did you manage to solve it?
    Thanks for any help on this issue.
    Cheers,
    Kevin

  • HT3986 i get a black screen during windows 7 installation on bootcamp 5.0.1

    i get a black screen during windows 7 installation on bootcamp 5.0.1 , it wont install

    Hi wb2009,
    I haven't found that the TV would be an issue, but did find an article that states to not have extra USB devices connected.
    Boot Camp: Windows installation boots to black screen with blinking cursor
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4536
    The Windows installation may boot to a black screen with a blinking cursor. This can occur if you use a USB optical drive or USB Flash drive for the Windows installation and another USB device is also connected to the computer.
    There's another article that mentions Windows XP or Vista that may apply.

  • Apples update didn't work for me: Boot Camp: iMac displays a black screen during installation of Windows 7

    Boot Camp: iMac displays a black screen during installation of Windows 7 - Apple Support
    I have followed each of the steps listed in the link above with no success.
    Prior to adding the extra drivers I was able to start the Windows install process up to reformatting the "Windows" Bootcamp drive. After that the computer would go through some instal processes and eventually restart. After the restart the screen would go black. The black screen lead me to the  Apple Support link above dated March 5 2015. After going through steps listed in the link above, I get an error message stating that the D:\Sources\instal.win. file cannot be located. I am forced to restart the computer at that point and theWindows install process attempts to start again but always ends up at the same point.
    Note: I am installing windows 7 Pro from a DVD. I scanned the AutoUnattend.xml file and noticed that it refers to "Windows 7 ULTIMATE" but not "Pro" or any others that I could see. (see below). Could that be part of the issue?
    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

  • How do I find out what is causing a random black screen on iMac?

    Hello I get random black screen on a iMac and I haven't made any hardware changes. How can I find out what is causing this?
    Thanks

    You can do an SMC and PRAM reset. These won't hurt anything and 'might,' maybe help the screen issue.  If it doesn't, then take it into an Apple store or AASP for their guidance and advance testing diagnostics.
    SMC:
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM:
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Black screen during startup

    I get a black screen during sturtup of my MacBook Pro (April 2011): the backlight are on, but the grey screen with the apple doesn't appear.
    Then, after a few, the login screen appear, and after I log in I can use my MBP normally.
    I tried resetting the SMC, but nothing changes. I thought to reinstall OSX (I have 10.6), but I realized that I can't if the screen is black.
    I've also tried the Apple Hardware test, but I don't see anything.
    Any idea or suggestions?

    Apparently I solved by resetting the PRAM.

  • Random black screen freezes - GPU or PSU issue?

    Relevant specs:
    Gigabyte Z87
    MSI GTX 770 (N770 TF 2GD5/OC) - stock speeds, 335.23 WHQL drivers
    i7 4771
    750w Antec High Current Gamer
    Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit
    For the past three weeks, this setup has been very stable. I then went on vacation for 3 days and then came back. All of a sudden, I then started getting random black screens (which occured in the middle two consecutive LOL matches, I'm quite sure I'm in the tribunal now...). If I'm in the middle of a game, the sound will stutter, and the game/system might appear that it's still playing for a few more seconds even though I can't see anything. I either have to manually reboot, or it'll just restart itself. I don't notice any error message when my system restarts. I tried doing a 3DMARK run to stress-test it, and it black-screened during Fire Strike. Sometimes I'll get a black screen at the Windows desktop doing nothing in particular to stress the card; I even got one in my BIOS setup screen!
    This morning, I did a fresh boot and ran GPU-Z. The VDDC graph doesn't look quite right to me, given all the hiccups. Oh, and 5 minutes after that screenshot, another black screen.
    The reason I mention the PSU is 1) I noticed that that particular PSU is rated 40A on the 12V rail, and yet the GPU requires at least 42A. but there are two 12V rails on that PSU, for 80A, which should be more than sufficient, and 2) I didn't notice any artifacts prior to any black screen. It's just weird that these would happening out of the blue - it sounds like the kind of issue that would've been present on day 1.
    Any thoughts?

    I have the same issues.

    Super Flower Golden King SF-550P14PE 550W

    Same thing on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
    Tried both WHQL and beta drivers. This is the second GTX 750 with the same issues, my first card was replaced.

  • Random black screen using R4870-T2D1G-OC

    Hello,
    First post here and I hope to provide as much info as I can as I did a search and couldn't find an answer for my issue, sorry for the long read.
    I am using the 4870 1GB OC card and have random black screen that forces me to do a hard reset on my pc to recover when using 3d games, or if the pc enters standby or hibernation enabled (have that cut off now).  The problem has happened in every game in my collection, 3d mark vantage (paid version), Bioshock, the witcher, Call of Duty 4, Flight Sim X, Warhammer Online, World of Warcraft, Crysis, and Crysis Warhead.  It happens at random times can be from 2 minutes to 1 hour of playtime or benchmark time.
    What I have done to attempt to fix the problem:
    -tried another card from the store
    -Monitored temps and they are fine idle is around 45c max load recorded during partial benchmark was 68c.
    -removed all current drivers and used the ones from ati from 8.6 to every driver up to 8.10 with the hotfix, went back to MSI drivers.
    -thought the problem may have been vista 64, so I did a fresh install of windows xp home 32bit same problem.
    -reseated the card double checked connections.
    -used an enermax psu but replaced it back with my PC power cooling.
    -removed 2gb of memory from my system.
    -removed my x-fi sound card, and tried onboard instead
    -removed my raid 0 setup and used a single 500gb drive
    -Tried the setup on a media series DP35 Intel board using a q6600 and 2gb of mushkin memory.
    -researched the issue online more so then ever, found many posts of the problem but no solution
    -gave up hope, put my system back to how it was and reinstalled crummy ol' 8800gt and have no issues.
    Please help out with any advice or suggestions that may work, I'm just sick of reinstalling windows and importing my data back, and I have replaced everything troubleshooting myself except for the monitor, I only have this one.
    My system is:
    -GA-P35-DQ6
    -Core2Quad QX6850
    -4x1GB KingstonHyperX 1066 DDR2
    -Sound Blaster X-Fi xtreme gamer
    -PC Power Cooling 750w
    -2x seagate 500gb 32mb 7200.11 drives
    -Vista 64 Home-Premium SP1
    -ViewEra 20.1" monitor at 1680x1050 resolution
    Thank You
    -edit: I also am using the latest drivers for all components and am sticking with the MSI drivers now, the event viewer has never shown any error log except that it had an unexpected shutdown (from me having to reset the pc)

    Yes, they are two different pcs, only parts that are the same of those two pc's is the case (antec 900) and the monitor (ViewEra 20.1" at 1680x1050)
    PC #1
    MB: GA-P35-DQ6 (F9b bios, although I have tried stable ones up till I got the Beta bios.
    CPU: INTEL QX6850
    RAM: KingstonHyperX 1066 4x1GB DDR2 2.2v (manufacture's spec for that memory)
    PSU: PC Power Cooling 750w PPCS750QBL
    Sound Card: X-fi XtremeGamer
    Hard Drive: Seagate 7200.11  500gb drive
    Operating System: Windows Vista 64bit Home-Premium SP1
    PC #2
    MB: Asus P5B-E  (I had originally said that it was an Intel DP35, after double checking it was an Asus board)
    CPU: Intel Core2Quad Q6600
    RAM: Mushkin DDR2 1.8v 800mhz
    PSU: Enermax 620w
    Sound Card: On board
    Hard Drive: Seagate 7200.11 500gb drive (same model as PC #1 but it is a different drive)
    Operating System: Windows XP Home SP2 (also tried SP3)
    Both machines honestly have ran memtest86 for many loops, I have ran SeaTools on the hard drives, and prime95 with a program ATI Tool running as well stressing the video.  With HardwareMonitor enabled temps are fine, pc runs good still can browse the internet, run it overnight without any crashes.
    Usually the moment the Futuremark Vantage gets to GPU test #2 the monitor goes blank, pc is still running in the background.  Within an hour of playing any DX10 or DX9.0c video game the same problem happens.  Both of these pc's will function fine unless 3d apps are running, or if the pc is put into standby it will not recover.
    Both of these two pc's using an Nvidia 8800GT 512mb OC card the pc's function fine, play games fine, go into standby fine.
    What I am wondering is what is the next step, RMA the card again? The problem has happened on PC #1 with both cards, only did this troubleshooting when the second card had same problem as first one.  Could there be any possibility that it is the monitor? (I have only been able to test what I have on hand to test with, don't have a second LCD but can get one if needed).  Or could it be something software? I have tried virtually every combination of driver with or without the ATI Console, and used MSI's Aug 08 release of their driver, and I have never seen any errors in event viewer either.
    Hope that helps clear it up some.

    I leave it charging until it gets back to full, usually it turns on after a little bit of time after plugging it in, but all its doing is going to the apple logo screen and going blank again.
