Computer blue screen while playing itunes movies

In the middle of a purchased, itunes movie, my computer suddenly emits a horrible sound before the blue screen of death appears. I have to manually hold down the power button to shut down the computer. I have the latest itunes updates. Any suggestions?

"It is really frustrating and have no idea *why it is not happening with the computer tech guys."*
+"I have a hard drive hooked up to the computer"+
The +"tech guys"+ when troubleshooting do not have any devices hooked up to the computer except maybe a keyboard. Did you take your comp to an Apple Store, an AASP or a comp repair shop that fixes PCs & Macs or just PCs?
Have you tried troubleshooting w/o the external HD?
Which "model" & "generation" G5 iMac do you have?
Need this info so that the knowledgeable users can provide you with the proper troubleshooting solution(s).

Looking for an App to Lock the Screen while Playing a Movie

I've been looking for either an app to lock the screen (not turn the screen off like the button on top of the phone) while playing a movie or a media player that will prohibit you from pressing buttons while a movie is playing. The reason I'm looking for this is my son likes to watch movies on my iPhone while we're in the grocery store, but I spend more time restarting the movie or navigating back to the iPod app and restarting the movie than he spends watching it! He likes to press the "done" button or home button which ends the movie. So an app that would prohibit that would be GREAT, but I haven't been able to find one so far. Any suggestions?

An app will not be able to do this.
Sorry.

Green screen while playing a movie

I purchased and downloaded a movie from the iTunes store. When I try to play it, it freezes, only showing one frame every 20-30 seconds. Eventually it green screens the movie window, and iTunes shuts down. I am running the most current version of iTunes and have all updates installed on my computer. I would like to watch this movie, and to use iTunes. Please help.

For anyone interested: I deleted the movies on the 2G and reinstalled them using my other computer which uses Windows XP and ITunes 8. The green screen no longer appears when I play the movies. They were first installed with my computer that uses Vista. ITunes 8 is acting funny on the Vista machine. If I click on a link it will not go to the page until the pointer is removed from the link. I will reinstall ITunes and see if that helps. Anyway, I hope this post makes sense!

First, back up all data and then uninstall "DivX" according to the developer's instructions.
Then try this:

Controller disconnect notification while playing Bluray movies

When you're watching Bluray movies, you get a huge notification whenever DS4 shuts down automatically. Worse, when you re-connect it, PS4 pops up a full screen prompt of which player is using the controller, taking you out of the movie completely. IIRC you can set the DS4 auto turn off somewhere in settings, but it's nevertheless something that should be less obtrusive. There should be an option to turn off on-screen notifications during movie play, or Netflix etc. Haven't noticed if other notifications popup during movie play. This is a rather big annoyance, and I hope it gets fixed in an upcoming update.

1 - Plug the wire in to DS4... 2 - Use Mov Nav controller instead and wire... 3 - Use the HDTV remote via HDMI-CEC... (support level depends on how cheap TV is) So no media remote required or DS4... Context: I'm using a projector, the ps4 & amp are hidden in a closed cupboard. So:1: No, I don't want to have cables, that's why we have remotes & wireless gamepads.2: same as 13: my amp remote can't control the PS4, so that's not an option I still can't see who at Sony thought that this would be a good idea to show this notification while playing a movie. Who in their right mind wants to have a good movie scene ruined by this notification?The only solution for now is to disable the controller sleep, but as we all know this is far from satisfying given the poor battery autonomy of the DS4.

IMAC SHUTS OFF WHILE PLAYING ITUNES

My IMac shuts off (like the plug was pulled) while playing ITunes and after the computer has been on for several hours. I am running OSX10.5.8. Any suggestions? My fan would not quit running a few weeks ago and I used the Program "clean my pc" and that corrected the problem or at least I thought it did. The fan does not audible run (loudly) any longer.

Shutting down like that MIGHT be a sign of overheating.
Suggest that you download XRG http://www.gauchosoft.com/Products/XRG/ which monitors your computer's processor temperature and hard disk temperature, and also shows fan speeds.
Run XRG and watch what it does as you run iTunes leading up to the moment that your Mac shuts down. See if the temperatures are increasing, and if they are, the fans should also increase. If the fans don't run as well when the temperature rises, then they might be broken and can be repaired (typically).

Blue Screen while loading desktop

HP Pavillion Series P7-1003w
Windows 7 Home Premium
About 2 days ago I've started having an issue with my comp (HP Desktop, 8gb Ram, x4 Processor, ATI Video Card), It started when I noticed my Windows Firewall had shut down and would not restart, immediately I assumed a virus/rootkit had sneaked past my Avast! Anti-virus. So I began running scans. My first scan (Full system scan) came back with 38 infected files inside windows temp files folder, all were malware except for 2 Trojan, Avast immediately deleted these files and I restarted comp to see if I could restart the firewall.
Now about 10 seconds after loading the desktop I get the BSOD. I restarted and ran in safe mode to see if I could asses the issue but nothing worked, I tried running memory diagnostics, system repair (No recovery points found), startup repair, and even ran a CHKDSK but everything came back as fine. So I did a full system restore twice using HP's Built in partition recovery. The computer was fine immediately after restore, but I noticed every time I tried to right-click on something explorer would crash and then restart. The only thing I can think of is a bad video card, but I'd like confirmation/Other options before I throw money at a new one.
BCCode:   a

OS Version:   6_1_7601
Service Pack:   1_0
Product: 768_1
Now its gotten to the point it wont even load Safe mode, the boot screen comes up but after a few seconds a small line of corruption appears at the top. I need a quick solution to this please, this computer needs to be running at 100% again before 6/11/13.
Update: I just plugged in mouse, keyboard, and monitor to see if I could pull the product ID from the system properties before it crashed, it worked fine so I zipped up the dump file and plugged in the Ethernet to try and post a link to it here, but as soon as it became connected to the internet it blue screened again, I'm thinking the windows updater is to blame, even though its disabled.

Hello Erose90,
I see you’re stating your computer blue screens,is that correct? I will be happy to help you.
I would like you to try and create a diagnostic disk, this disk can be run outside of the operating system giving the results more clarity.
This link will show you how to create the disk and run the disk once it has finished. When you open the link scroll down to the sectioned headed “Creating the HP Vision Diagnostic Media”, from there follow the information it provides.
Try to only have this program opened and running so it will lessen the chance of a possible blue screen during the process.
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

Can anyone help me with blue screen while updating to ios8?

help me with blue screen while updating to io8.2

I don't have a 4G device, but I thought you can use mobile safari, the safari on the iPad, on 4G.
You could also try looking for a third party app. The official facebook app has been non to barely functional for years. I use mobile safari on my iPad although I do have a couple of apps I've used upon occasion.

I can't play iTunes Movies in 5.1 surround on my surround sound system

I like to download iTunes movies to my MacMini from iTunes store. Recently I gave up doing so because I can't play iTunes movies in 5.1 surround on my surround system. My MacMini is connected to my Marantz 6007 SR via HDMI cable. However I can get DTS or 5.1 surround sound from my system with other players such as VLC player.
How can I fix this problem as I really want to buy or rent movies from iTunes store?

Hi komansava,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your Mac Mini is able to output 5.1 audio to your surround sound receiver, but iTunes purchases do not play in surround sound.
When playing iTunes purchases, first see if iTunes is set to output the movie you're playing in surround sound:
Set up iTunes to play content in surround sound
Movies you purchased or rented from the iTunes Store may have stereo audio and digital surround sound tracks. ...
In iTunes, click the Speech Bubble icon to view your audio choices, such as English (Surround). If the surround sound choice is dimmed or the icon doesn't appear, make sure you are using the appropriate hardware and that the content is encoded with digital surround sound.
You can find this information here:
Set up iTunes and your DVD Player for digital surround sound - Apple Support
Best Regards,
Jeremy

Playing iTunes Movies in 5.1 surround on my surround sound system

I have the opitcal cable working. I have changed the channel seletion to surround on the movie and there is no audio. So, in short, I want to use my MacBook Pro to play iTune movies in 5.1 on a surround system. Currently, I am running OS X 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2.1. I can play DVD's back in 5.1, so this must be an iTunes issue. Please help.
Thanks,
Kim

Channel selection on the receiver right?
Also, do a "Get Info" on the file you are attempting to play in iTunes. Does it show Surround (or something similar) for the "Channels" tag?
In any case, I found the following:

Suspending the Screen while playing music...

I noticed while playing music for long periods of time this bad boy gets hot. So I tried suspending the screen while playing music. The screen shut off but the music still plays ;0) (go apple). So now I shut the screen off when playing music and that seems to help the battery life as well as the heat it puts off.

I have been looking for an answer for it myself and here are the opons :
1.having an external diplay will disable slep mode with close lid.
2.there are programs that will force it to not go to sleep (sleepless,insomnia ) - risky !!!
3.turn off the screen (by dim all the way) and keep it almost closed ....
i know non of the above are perfect for you and its realy nice to have it closed when not in use but apple will not give you service if you use the programs and it will overheat.....so dont. please,dont.
tomer
p.s. don't!

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
