    Hi 22chill,
    I recommend that we delete and re-download the movie from your purchase history:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • HT204382 black screen and no audio on flip4mac

    I downloaded the free version of Flip4Mac to play avi. files, but I am only getting a black screen and no audio.

    You may have to take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked.
    You can try to reset SMC.

  • Black screen and "IOBluetoothHCIContrller::start Idle Timer Stopped"

    When I turn on my macbook pro, 2007, intel, mac osx 10.4.1, all I see is a Black screen and "IOBluetoothHCIContrller::start Idle Timer Stopped".  I have tried resetting PRAM, SMC, turning on with R-command, S-Command, V- control, and I can not get passed this screen.  DOes anyone have any idea of how to fix this?

    I also reset the System Management Controller:

    ...and tried booting diagnostics (D Key), both also to no avail.

  • Whenever I play a downloaded film, it tells me that I can't play it without authorizing it. So I type in my password to authorize it, and it asks me about 3 more times, then I finally get to watching the video and it's just a black screen and no audio.

    Oh, and by the way, the video was playing, it's just a blank screen and no audio. The timeline at the bottom of the screen is moving along but nothing is playing. Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Cannot play video full screen.

    When i try to play any kind of video full screen with iTunes, it "Unexpectedly quits". Its very annoying and is slow. I have erased all of my Library files as well as iTunes preferences and reinstalled. Still its happening. How do I fix this?

    hmmm... What resolution settings do you have set? What type of video are you trying to view? Is it a purchased ITMS video?
    Sounds strange.

  • Cannot play videos on iPad posted to FB, but will play on iPhone

    All videos on FB say cannot be played on my iPad2 need flash player, but I can view them on my iPhone is a setting wrong on FB or iPad?

    Close all of your apps and reset your iPad.
    In order to close apps in iOS 5 or iOS 6, first tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Closing apps in iOS 7 works like this. 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.
    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.

  • Firefox cannot play videos ver. 3.6.13 under linux suse 11.3 Gnome, why is this ?

    Using FF 3.6.13 to access You Tube cannot play Videos
    Black Screen - 'Reads An Error occurred pleas try later.'
    I have the same problem while using Windows, Why?
    This has all started since upgrading to 3.6.13 all was fine before.
    In addition Firefox locks up and crashes my computer - have to reboot
    not a soft reboot but a hard one.
    I do hope you can help to resolve this issue soon.
    Merry Christmas.

    Sorry but this suggestion did not help
    I have diabled the following
    # Shockwave Flash 10.1 r999. Gnash 0.8.7, the GNU SWF Player.
    # Shockwave Flash 9.0 r999
    With no improvement whatsoever - further more i went as far as to disabling all three, still no access to the BBC iplayer or You Tube.
    The only thing that i have not done is to reboot the system, i will do that next.
    If this makes any difference i will advise you.
    Thanks.

    If you replaced the Ram in your machine at any time, you may not have been aware of the fact that Apple computers have always been a little picky when it comes to 3rd party Ram.  Apple computers have always run very well on 2 different brands.
    Memory for iMac 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, & now 32GB - OWC Certified RAM for Apple iMac with Lifetime Warranty
    This first link is from other world computing and none of us on these forums to my knowledge have heard of any bad ram from either Other World Computing
    or Crucial Ram.
    Crucial Ram
    The only difference I am aware of is that Crucial offers a download and will tell you exactly what Ram your computer is capable of using and the prices that are available.

  • Macbook pro continuously black screening and rebooting-any solutions?

    Ever since upgrading OS to Mountain Lion there have been numerous times when waking the Macbook, it goes to black screen and reboots.  Several times it has rebooted then immediately shut down and rebooted again.  I am also running Paralles 9 which I needed to install after upgrading to the OS 6 operating system.  Has anyone else had this problem and is there an easy fix?

    You might try this:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • My iphone 4 has a black screen and gets warm when charging.

    My iphone 4 has a black screen and gets warm when charging. also, the battery runs out unusually fast.  I can still receive calls etc and can see a 'backlight' come on behind the black screen when buttons are pressed, but I can not see anything on the screen. I have tried restoring the phone from recovery mode in iTunes but this does not fix the problem. If it were the screen that needs replacing then would the phone get warm?
    thanks for your help

    Look in the dock and see if you can see any scaly blue-ish stuff. Look in the headphone jack under bright light - can you see anything pink?
    Take it to an Apple store. They can help you with a repair. If you take it anywhere else, Apple will not repair your phone if anything goes wrong.

  • Why does say"To play the selected item, you must install a later version of the Adobe Flash Player. To download the Adobe Flash Player, go to the Adobe website." when I have the latest Version of it and it's just Black screen with no audio and Video?
