Having trouble opening my videos app. Just black screen. Help pls!

For a while now, I've been unable to open my videos app. I've tried shutting down and turning it on again but then same thing. What can I do to make it work?

Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Go to settings/Safari/Block cookies/click - from third parties.  You can not click always - it will not let you access iTunes store
    Once you complete settings do hard reset. Hold top and home buttons same time till screen goes black an comes back with apple.

    Hi,
    Do you have Adobe Reader installed on your device? You can check it under Settings-->Apps. If Adobe Reader is installed on your device and still the pdfs open in some other app, then you might have chosen that app to be the default app for always opening pdfs. You can clear the defaults for that application. Just go to Settings-->App--->Polaris(or any other app where the files open)--->Clear Defaults. Next time you try to open a pdf, you will be presented with the options again. Hope this helps. Please let us know if you still face some issues.
    Thanks.

  • Videos app loads black screen

    Now whenever I load the Videos app the screen turns black, I left it for a few minutes and still black, I restarted the device and still have the same issue. Worked well before even after the iOS 4.2 update. I'll try to restore when I get home from work.
    Anybody else having this issue?

    Okay connecting the ipad to my machine I removed all the "Movies" from the device, after that the Videos app would open. I then began to re-sync each video (all mp4) to the device one at a time.
    All the video is back on the device and the app seems to work now. Not sure what caused the issue.

  • Having trouble making an in app purchase on iPhone, Help?

    Having a problem making an in app purchase off a game I have downloaded on my iPhone.
    Using my TD VISA DEBIT too make the purchase (basically works as a pre paid visa credit card).
    The price of the in app purchase is $19.99, and I've entered in my billing information 100% correctly (have re checked about a dozen times as it kept saying its invalid!).
    Now that I've tried to make the purchase around 10 times, a pop up comes up on my phone that reads somewhat along the lines of "Your Payment method was declined, please contact iTunes support to continue your purchase".
    Which well.. Brings me here as the 1-800 number that I can call for my area is currently closed!
    (And yes, I do have the enough money on the card lol just so that's out there!)
    Please help me figure this out, even if there is a way I can make it get billed to my phone bill (ROGERS) then I don't mind doing it that way either. Just want to make this purchase and be done with it!
    Thanks.

    There is no telephone support at all for itunes.

  • Upper half of video is missing (black screen) - Help!!

    I'm working with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and I have all updates installed. This is my first time posting and I've only been using CS6 for a few months so I'm still a newbie. That being said here's my dilemma: a project I had worked on yesterday without any issues is now missing the upper half of the video. I didn't have a problem before and this is the first time I'm having to deal with this. For some reason, the problem is only occuring when I use files larger than 1GB. When I switch to a lower quality video file that is 160MB, for example, I don't have the problem of missing the upper half of the video. I also tried exporting to see if the problem gets corrected during the export process but it also comes out missing the upper half of the video. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  • I am having trouble with downloading videos from my Sony HDR-XR160 video camera. iMovie doesnt open up when i connect the camcorder. any suggesions?

    i am having trouble with downloading videos from my Sony HDR-XR160 video camera. iMovie doesnt open up when i connect the camcorder. any suggesions?

    Looking up your camera online, I found it is capable of 1920 x 1080 Full HD 60p Recording. It's the 60p (60 frames per second Progressive) that's the problem I think. iMovie '11 will do 60i (Interlaced). You might need to convert it from the format the camera currently uses into another format to get it into iMovie. Read more about it on this link here: How to import 60p footage From that message thread comes the recommendation to use ClipWrap to convert the camera's video clips now that they are in 60p:

    Use ClipWrap to rewrap to QuickTime. Import the files. Edit in either 59.94 or 29.97. The latter if you want to use the high frame rate for slomo

  • Just got my MacBook Pro....having trouble opening up certain web pages...just keeps scrolling and scrolling, my 7 year old desk top that is on the same wireless network for internet opened up the same web page right away, so I think the Internet is OK

    just got my MacBook Pro and I'm having trouble opening up certain websites, it just keeps scrolling and scrolling and never opens up the page....this is not the case with all websites, however my 7 year old desk top - which is connected to the same wireless Internet connection opened up the same page right away, so I don't think it's the Internet, any suggestions?

    Use Software Update to update your os and anything else that needs to be updated.   Repair permissions and restart your computer when done.
    Not sure if your new Mac came with 10.7.2 pre-installed as you make no mention of your os system.

    RR,
    Not to worry, you're not the first to expect Print to finish by returning you to the edit mode. The thing is that Printing is so hit and miss with this version of the app, you will probably want to stay in the Print window for more than one attempt.

  • I just got a used Canon ZR850 and I'm having trouble downloading my video onto my Windows 7 computer

    I just got a used Canon ZR850 and I'm having trouble downloading my video onto my Windows 7 computer. I have a FireWire that works fine with my ZR830 but not with the 850.  The connection isn't registering.  What can I do?

    Without proper system information and other details nobody can help you. and this error means what it says - some other install process is still active, even if it may not do so visible. Could be a silent update of a virus scanner or something, could be a botched install of another program, not even specifically Adobe. As a start, always reboot your computer and then try again. For anything else we need much more info.

  • Video App goes black

    Rented two movies last nite from Apple Store - the movies downloaded to 'Video' - tapped the movie I wanted to watch and the screen went not blank but black (like the iPAD was turned off but it wasn't!).  I gave up and went to bed. Tried it again this morning and when I tap Video the same black screen appears again just like last night........Help!

    Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
