Films downloaded won't play.I just get a black screen. My computer crashed last week and I had to do a 'total recovery' - an important link is missing... anyone any idea what it could be? I have updated iTunes and Quick Player

Films that I have downloaded from iTunes won't play. I just get a black screen. My computer crashed last week and I had to do a Total Recovery - Films played perfectly before this. I must have deleted a program or link.............. anyone know what could be missing? I can play YouTube videos etc. but nothing in the iTunes store - films or trailers won't work.

The movie is from iTunes.   You would think that a download from iTunes to a MacBook could be watched on an HDTV using Apple TV without any headaches bit this does not appear to be the case.

  • Cant play tv shows on ipad after downloading just get a black screen

    My first generation ipad will not play tv shows that I have purchased from Itunes. Once they are downloaded on to the ipad I just get a black screen when I try to play them. If I restore the ipad I can SOMETIMES watch them for a short while before it reverts back to a black screen. So Frustrating!!

    Hello LBV123,
    The next step would be to report the issue to the folks in the iTunes Store, as detailed in the article below.

  • I can't get the tv shows to play... just getting a black screen.

    I can't get the tv shows to play... just getting a black screen. HELP!!!!!

    caddis,
    I am getting the EXACT same problem.  I started to watch an iTunes purchased TV Show episode back on February of 2014.  I stopped after about 15 minutes to come back and watch it later.
    Yesterday, I tried to continue the tv show, and NOTHING.  All I get is a black screen with no audio.  The time bar is advancing, so iTunes thinks it is playing.   BUT NOTHING.
    Can anyone assist with this problem?
    PS:  I use my iTunes on my PC only, and have for years without this problem.

    It could be that your button has justy gone out.  You may try getting compressed air to blow out any dust in there.  If that doesn't work, you may have to get your button and ribbon replaced.

  • My iPad and iPod touch won't play the music I choose. Has anyone any idea what the problem could be?

    Hi,
    Since the IOS 5.0 update my iPad 2 and iPod touch (3e generation) won't play the music I choose. I choose a song from Michael Jackson for example and it's going to play something completely different. The images has changed aswel, so it is a bit strange.
    I treind to sincronise them again, but this doesn't change a thing. Has anyone any idea what could be the problem and how to solve it?
    Kind Regards,
    Ward

    So just in case anyone else ever runs into this...
    I solved the issue and it was that between the plug of the new earbuds being slightly thicker than the Apple earpods, and the width of the case that I was using for my iPod, there wasn't a connection being made to activate the remote function.
    I took off the case and now the earbuds work exactly as they should!

  • All notes on 4S gone. Any idea how this could happen? Have never synced notes. They are just gone.

    All notes on 4S gone. Any idea how this could happen? Have never synced notes. They are just gone.

    Well, I know in iOS 5 they can be linked to e-mail accounts, not sure if you had that setup or not.
    For future reference, use a program like Evernote, amazing and free, plus dedicated PC apps if you want to view notes on your computer.

  • When I download pdf files in Safari I get a black screen.  However, if I open a pdf in Mail it is viewable in Preview.  How do I fix this?

    When I download pdf files in Safari I get a black screen.  However, if I open a pdf in Mail it is viewable in Preview.  What is wrong?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Monitor apple replaced th one any ideas what that could of been2010

    my 27" i5 2.8 ghz imac i bought in sept.2010 had dark shadows all over the monitor apple replaced the computer with a new one just a week ago any ideas what this could of been

    Thanks Mike. I had a feeling that might be what it was, though you are correct, in that I won't be able to fully find the problem online. I guess I just wanted a bit of advice as I'd seen numerous problems similar to this, but none exactly the same.
    I kept flicking between software and hardware as to what I believed was the problem, but the lack of consistency has me believing its hardware.
    Frustrating as it's not within warranty, but we'll see if I can get some concrete information from a store.
    Thanks again.

  • My videos on iPhoto no longer play ... the message reads OSStatus error -54.    anyone any idea what this might mean?

    My videos on iPhoto no longer play ... the message reads OSStatus error -54.    anyone any idea what this might mean?

    Hi Terence,
    FWIW...
    I just restored my entire iPhoto library from Time Machine.  I'm running Yosemite.  After opening iPhoto for the first time after restoring the DB, it asked me to confirm my library location.  Then it proceeded to update all the thumbnails.  After this was completed, I observed what the OP reported: all photos work normally, but all videos were a.) missing thumbnails; and b.) yielding this error code when attempting to open.
    HOWEVER.  Doing a Reveal in Finder showed the videos on disk, and they were playable.  After quitting iPhoto and restarting it, it *again* said it was updating thumbnails, and now all the videos both have the thumbnails and play correctly from within iPhoto.

    You showed a kernel panic file from OS X, apprantly Log Me In is installed into OS X or running when you log in.
    You should be using the developers installer/unistaller to remove Log Me In from OS X.
    Somehow it's in OS X, I don't know, but it's there and you need to remove it. I'm not dealing with Windows, just OS X.
    Talk to Log Me In people and find out what is installed where so you can do a manual deletion out of OS X.
    If that doesn't work, you have to reboot holding the Shift key down manually search for any Log Me In or Himachi files on your computer, in your System/Library/Extensions folder too, use the free Easy Find.

  • Pro won't start.  Instead get a black screen and a beeping every 2 seconds. LIght at front right corner of keyboard flashes in sequence with beeping.

    If it is giving a single beep every two seconds, then it is not seeing any of the memory.  You could try taking the back off, remove the memory module and reinsert to see if that corrects the problem.  Or just take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs do that for you.
    If you are uncertain about working on the memory modules, you can find on-line videos for doing so at OWC, http://www.macsales.com where you can see the procedure for your year, make and model of MacBook Pro.
