  • Black screen while playing video in itunes

    I am currently running itunes 11.1.2.32 on a windows 8.1 (64 bit) pc. I had to reinstall itunes when switching from 8.1 preview to 8.1 due to download issues. I now have a black screen when playing videos in itunes. Audio still works. Suggestions?

    I've had the same problem. Tried switching from the built in Intel video to an nVidia graphics card, reinstalled cursed a lot.
    Finally got it working the hard ware. Built a virtual XP machine (like the SP support system in Windows 7). Installed itunes in the virtual machine and can now watch my movies and tv shows. Both itunes and Windows 8.1 seem to be "not ready for prime time". I wish MS wouldn't have tried to make a computer look like a cell phone/pad.

  • Why do I get only a black screen when I try to download PDF files?

    Why do I get only a black screen when I try to download PDF files?  I have the latest version of Adobe Reader.
    This problem just started a few weeks ago.
    I am still using Snow Leopard.
    I have tried using Firefox instead of Safari, but still get the black screen.

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • How to get rid of filter componet when inserting analysis grid

    Hi expert,
              I try to inster a analysis grid in say bex analyzer, but when I display this table, there is anoter component named 'Filter' together with analysis grid. why this filter component comes? and how to get rid of it?
    Many Thanks,

    Hi,
    this behavior sounds unusual. Normaly you insert each component individual.
    Did you just insert a table or die you "open query"?
    If you opened a query, your query is inserted into the standard workbook and if this one includes the filter then you will get it ...
    If you switch on the design mode, you will see each component and you can delete the ones you don´t want to use - just make roght mouse click on the component and select "delete".
    regards
    Cornelia

  • How to get rid of background noise when recording voice on iphone 5 ?

    every time i record a voice over i hear wierd background noise can someone tell me how to get rid of it im using my headphones to record btw

    Go to System Preferences / Sound and click on the Input button. You should see two items listed in the device menu: the Internal Microphone and Line In. (There may be others if you also are using your USB or Firewire ports for input devices.)
    Select Internal Microphone and adjust the Input Volume control to the far left (minimum). This will mute the computer's internal microphone.
    Then select the Line-In (or other device) and adjust the input level as needed to make your recording.
    Good luck.

  • Extremely slow boot.  How to get rid of white screen in Windows only boot.

    Hey guys I have a Windows 7 only MacBookPro 17". 2.8ghz core 2 duo, 4 gig of ram, 7200 rpm 500gb hd(passes s.m.a.r.t. btw)
    It boots extremely slow. I turn the computer on and it stays at the white screen for around 20 seconds. Then it moves to Windows 7 and continues to boot from there. I have a video:
    http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xc5taaslow-windows-7-boot-on-macbook-protech
    In a windows only setting how would I get it to just boot Windows without going threw the white screen? It also gets hung when logging in on a black screen.
    There was a post on Ubuntu forums about Ubuntu only boots about doing something to get it to only boot the MBR. I didn't really understand if this would work with Windows 7 though. Thanks for any help.

    I shut down all but one of the extensions, and that seems to have resolved the problem. Thank you!
    Now to figure out which extensions I need, and which I don't, because I don't have a clue. I don't remember installing most of these, I only recall one or two (nothing looks spammy like funmoods, but still don't remember when or why these were added...)

  • How to get rid of full screens that won't go away.

    I was using my MacBook Pro with my tv through HDMI. I made a window full screen on my tv ( I was using Blender 3D software and the window on the tv was the same application I had on my screen). When I unplugged the HDMI the full screen window on my tv went onto my MacBook. The problem is that the window from the tv is now full screen on my computer, and there are no options in the tool bar to minimize it. When ever I open this file that window pops up along with the window that was on my screen. It creates lag and I need to get rid of it. I need this file. Please help!

    There are 3 ways to exit a fullscreen app:
    Escape key
    Command+Control+F
    Hover the cursor at the top of the screen until the menu bar drops down then clcik the Arrow icon on the top right.
    Have you tried plugging it back into the TV?

  • How to get rid of revolving beachball when I open my MaBook?

    How do I get rid of the revolving beachball when I open my MacBook?

    Do not have anything connected, when the machine is put to sleep except power if needed.
    Do not run any processes before the machine is put to sleep other than the Finder and the startup processes.
    If they persist and it takes longer than 5 minutes to fully wake up, you may need to find out if you have other startup processes that aren't 10.7 compatible.  Look in Apple menu -> System preferences -> Users -> Accounts Login or startup items.  Anything other than iTunes Helper is suspect.

  • All i get now is black screens when I try to play content

    as the subject line says, I rebooted to try and fix issue with last update using system restore. It worked that day now all I get when I click on tv shows is a black screen

    I found a workaround. It appears that if you delete a move/TV show from your library (right click -> delete) and then go to iTunes Store -> Purchases -> redownload the content, it'll work then.
    It *****, but it works. I've got a lot of redownloading to do.
    The only thing I can think of that I did weirdly with my library was to copy my iTunes media folder to my new PC when I upgraded. If I remember correctly, that's when things went weird for me. This included that if I clicked on a movie that (on my old PC) I'd partially watched, the movie would try to play from that location. Always thought it was strange that that information was carried over from the old PC, in my media folder. Makes sense. But I wonder if it's a clue as to what's going wrong here? I'm grasping at straws here, but anyways...
