Black screen after downloading TV show from itunes

HI. Downloaded an TV episode from itunes store. Loaded it onto laptop. Played ep and made sure it worked on laptop. Then stopped it but went back a few days later to play it. Connected laptop and TV with a HDMI cable but all it has on the laptop is a black screen with a toolbar top and bottom. Has the title of the ep and the time playing but no pik or audio. Doesn't matter whether it is connected to TV or just on laptop won't play but yet it played a few days earlier...
Help?
Also when I download a tv ep it dowbnloads two episodes, hd and sd and both are eating into my internet usuage. Is there anyway to download just one or do both need to be downloaded? Downloaded 13 ep of a season and it fully used my entire months internet allowance ;P

I need help with a similar issue. I downloaded one tv episode with no problems. The 2nd one I tried, I got error code 8008. I emailed iTunes Help and they gave me the instructions to delete the temporary files, restart my computer, and sign back in to iTunes and check for available updates. After doing this, I got one more to go through. I then bought another episode, and after the same problems, finally got it to go through. I was also told to check my firewall, Anti-Virus software, and any Ad-ware software because I could get 2 more episodes to download. I disabled and uninstalled what I could and tried again, with no luck. I looked last night, and the 2 episodes that won't download are in my TV Shows category under my Library heading, but they won't sync to my iPod. When I look at them in the Purchased category, they are dimmed and it won't let me do anything with them. So far, I haven't heard anything from Support.

Did you burn the CD as an audio CD?
If not, that's your problem. Otherwise, without more details I can only guess. You might try a different brand of disk, or if you're using CD-RW try CD-R.

I downloaded tv shows from iTunes onto my iPad, but when I plugged into my computer it erased them from the iPad and they didn't get transferred to the computer. How do I get them back?

First, is your iTunes account on your computer, the account you set up your iPad with and the one you sync regularly with? If yes, just reconnect your iPad to your computer, via USB and open iTunes. After your iPad syncs, and you see the message that it's OK to disconnect, don't disconnect. Click once on the iPad from the left side of your iTunes screen. This will open your iPad in iTunes. You would then click on Videos and you'll see the TV shows you downloaded. You can choose individual shows, or choose to sync all videos to your iPad. After you've moved what you wanted back, click apply, then sync again and you should be fine.

If the TV Show is downloaded on your iPad, you don't need Wi-Fi to watch it.

IPhoto 09 - Black screen after download of new images

Hoping someone can help me with this problem.
After downloading new images from my digital camera (Canon EOS 400D) I am unable to open any images in iPhoto, either the new ones or older ones (which I have opened previously.) I can see the thumbnails but when I click them all I see in the iPhoto image pane is black. No image, just blackness.
If I quit iPhoto then restart it I am able to open all the images old and new as before without any problem. This is not a terminal problem but it is very annoying. Any helpful ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in anticipation.
Regards,
Rikx

Control-click on one of the problem thumbnails and select Show File. If you are taken to a folder with the original image file in it then they are safely in the library. In that case Backup and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the first two and last three options.

Black Screen with Audio for Downloaded TV Shows from iTunes

Hi,
When I try to watch TV shows that I downloaded from the iTunes store..I just get a black screen with audio. I've tried un-installing and re-installing. I'm currently running version 10.1.1.4 on my Win XP Pro machine. I downloaded the entire "Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors" series and cannot get a single ep to give a picture. I've heard that quite a few people are having this issue. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Nic

I can get a picture with Quicktime...but if I try to get enlarge the screen, the picture often becomes corrupted. I'm just rather annoyed that I spent $40 on this series and am having these issues. I only downloaded iTunes because there was no other option of getting this show. I've waited 24 years to see the entire "Liberty Stone" Mini-series (there was a problem with the tapes DIC released and they were missing eps)...so this just feels like a taunt.
I'm hoping this gets fixed quickly. It sounds like there is a lack of standardization with the DRM being used on these files.

I occasionally get black screen or snow with content from iTunes Fix is a reboot

Somtimes if I haven't turned off my Apple TV for a few days, I'll download a movie and have a lot of freezing and black screen or picture drop-outs....Sometimes I see a poor picture with a lot of snow (even on the menu pages)....My fix has been to just unplug the power cable to the ATV and plug it back in in a few seconds to reboot....It then will work fine for several days again. Netflix has worked without any problems.
BTW I've got the sleep mode set to never since when I first got the ATV it seemed to be randomly going to sleep at odd times...
Anyone else have similar problems?

Hello reneywacky,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Connect your USB cable to your computer but not to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until step 3.
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 the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button down, connect the USB cable to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. When this screen appears, you can release the Home button:
Note: If the image of a battery appears, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again. If you don't see the Connect to iTunes screen, try these steps 1 through 4 again.
iTunes should automatically open and display the following message:
"iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."Note: If iTunes not open after two minutes, please open iTunes yourself.
Use iTunes to restore the device.
Best of luck,
Mario

[SOLVED]black screen after installing nvidia driver from official repo

Hi!
I have just made a clean install this afternoon and I really can not get the drivers from nvidia in the official rep to work. After booting it just gives me blackscreen.
What I have tried:
1. Blacklisted nouveau.
2. Doublechecked mkinitcpio.conf for nouveao under "MODULES" section.
3. Rebuilt initramfs by doing
mkinitcpio -p linux
4. i tried with a "nomodeset" by entering it in grub.
5. Last I tried to remove nouveau by doing
pacman -Ss nouevau
pacman -R mesa
pacman -Rc mesa (here I double checked the packages and nothing really vital for a full boot of a non-graphical interface (TTY1) is gone)
After Pressing enter from grub I can not see anythin, except from some text that flashes by, Something about checking /dev/sda6 for any errors... Except from that, nothing. Just a black screen.
I am writing this from my phone right now, please understand if I am doing any spelling errors (too lazy to chroot ehen in my bed and PC turned off for the night )

I never really tried the intel gpu, nor did I knew that my mb had that compability to actually run with that, since I can not even change to only use the display connection from my cpu :0
Besides, I never really will use the built-in gpu on my proc unless my graphics card crashes, and if that happens, I can just create a chroot and read-on about bumblebee and such
I am right now writing this from my Desktop
I have some minor issues with my KDE environment, the text being so small I can barely read it inside of applications.... except from that I have used "Settings" to change it inside the KDE environment :b
So I can live with it, unless it happens inside games aswell
Anyway, I just did not knew about it, otherwise I would have read 'bout it and tried to fix it before i came here
I know how it is when ya dont get enough info about a problem like "This program won't work, why?" (I am the PC wizard amongst my friends, so I know ya should try everything, use google, and most of all, do not panic, it can and will be fixed :3
But ty anyway for the suggestion Jason, appreciate it!
will mark this thread as solved now

Auto download TV shows from itunes to ipad?

Hello,
Is there anyway I can set my IPad to auto download / receive the TV shows I have downloading. They auto download from iTunes on my mac in iTunes when they are available.. let me know if anyone can help me

I'm not aware that you can with the iPad - you can do so with music, apps, and ibooks (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4539), but I don't think that you currently can with TV shows or films.

Downloading TV shows from itunes - episodes appearing seperately not all under the same series despite all the information being the same. How can I get them to appear under the same series

Just that
I have many series - NCIS, West Wing etc where some episodes appear under the series and some appear on their own.
I have checked the info anf they appear to be identical.
How do I get them to group together corectly?

After a couple of days, I'm noticing that the repeat(ing) offenders have more than 10 episodes, and seem to keep repeating them every time I sync.
They only show once in my phone and in the iTunes Podcasts, but through iTunes and looking at what's in my phone is when I see the repeats.
Even after I've marked a podcast as played, and deleted it from within my phone, as well as telling iTunes to delete the played episodes, it still shows multiples of the played episodes.
There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it either. They aren't the newest ones either.

All of my music disappeared after downloading 2 songs from ITunes. Now my library is empty on my IPhone except for those 2.

All of my music on the library disapperead when I downloaded the free Justin Timberlake album from the 12 days app today. I normally use our family's Apple ID because thats where we have the credit card info to purchase stuff. There was an error today while using that Apple ID as our credit card was canceled so i could not use it because we owed like $3. So I used mine instead to download the free album. I signed out of my family's ID and used mine to download the JT music. I thought everything went great until i started 'playin' my music and I could not find anything! Except for those two songs that I barely like. I signed out of my Apple ID, nothing happened. I closed the music app, again, nothing. I performed a reset, nothing. I cannot seem to get my music back. This has never happened before. I am currently traveling abroad and my laptop is back home, so I cannot sync my IPhone. Anyway to soultion this? I am absolutely getting more frustated with my Apple product every hour.
Anything I can do to get my music back before resorting to my laptop which is thousands of miles away? Help me get my music back.
P.S. In memory usage, beside the Music app which is suppposed to say like 4GB, currently is says No Data.
Thanks in advance.

HI Jazzy, caveat first. I'm not hugely experienced with iTunes and syncing music, BUT, I think the problem is your switch of Apple ID. The music you had before 'belongs' the the previous family AppleID. When you switched ID, then iTunes didn't associate the new ID with the old music list.
Try this:
Log back in with the family ID. Either change the credit card number to your own, or add your credit card to the family one. You should be able to delete it later when you have finished. Then you should be able to download the Justin Timberlake album to the family account.
My suspicion is that by logging back in with the original ID, all the music should be back.

-error 34 when downloading TV show from iTunes Store

Since the firmware update 10 days ago all previous problems with AirDisk (dropping external HD, corrupted files) are gone. So, I again changed my iTunes library location to AEB connected HD and for over a week didn't have any problems downloading movies and TV shows to that location.
Until now. Today, out of blue -error 34, disk full....
What a heck happened? Nothing I tried fixes it. I need some serious help, please.

I'll ask the obvious question... how much free space is on the hard drive connected to the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS)?
