HT201412 video player just stopped working

video player does not play screen just goes black

Quit the videos app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. 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 or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or ..... Reboot 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 - let go of the buttons.
Sometimes this will restart the videos app when you get the black screen. Swipe to the right from your first home screen to get to the iPad Spotlight search. Type in the name of any of your movies in the field at the top. When the movie appears in the search - tap on it and it should start to play. Let it play for a minute or so - hit done - go back to videos app and see if all is OK.

  • I can't play MPEG4.avi video  - all I get is "The video player has stopped working. Please relaunch"

    I can't play MPEG4.avi, or any other, video  - all I get is "The video player has stopped working. Please relaunch".  Please tell me what to do.

    I took the video in 2009.  I can't remember the camera model I took it with and the other information you request does not show up in the "i" panel in iPhoto.
    My version of iPhoto 11 is 9.2.3.

  • My media player just stopped working.

    My media player on my Q10 just stopped working. When I try to pla an audio or video file it will play for at most 7 seconds and stop and next the following error msg will be displayed "the file can't be played due to an unexpected error". I have wiped my phone but it is still the same

    I don't know. Quick searching did not turn up a sure fire fix. Maybe you have searched as well. There is a long thread on CrackBerry where several users report trying different things. Is wiping the device the only thing you have tried?
    If you have another card (or can borrow one) that is what I would want to try. In that one thread, that was the one reported fix: a new card.
    If playing files from device memory works, and reformatting the card doesn't fix the problem, seems to me next step is try another card that you know is good.

  • Flash Player just stopped working

    Been playing all my internet games for a few years no problem with them.  Now all of a sudden I went to log in to play them and they keep saying I need at least version 10.  So I tried installing it said it worked but games and youtube still don't work.  So I tried uninstalling and reinstalling once again and again it said it installed it successfully but games and youtube still saying to get adobe.  tried updating my virus group and uninstall and reinstall same as before.  Some of the other things they suggest I don;t understand and most of them are for people where it doesn't download.   I have ummm the 64 bit one with windows 7.  Google chrome thing they talk about is loaded and all and I can access it.
    Please any help would be appreciated.  Thank you
    Katrina

    Note :
    This issue has been solved by completely uninstalling the CA Security Suite (previousl known as VET) from this i7 64 bit system and by an Adobe Technician completly uninstalling the latest version 11 and reinstalling 10, although it did not work just by doing that.

  • I definitely have put this under the wrong catergory but i don't care, I was wondering why everytime i click on a video to play it says: Windows media player has stopped working

    Ok, so I made a video with Bandicam, and every time I click on it to play it (it is saved as an MP4), it just says: Windows Media Player has stopped working. Then it gives me two choices: Close the program OR look online for a solution. I REALLY want to
    post these videos, but I can't. If anyone could help that would be great!

    Hi juderocks14,
    Please first take a check with the other Players and see if they could play the MP4 file normally. If it can't be played, which means it might be corrupted. You may ask at the Bandicam side, or save the files again.
    If issue insists, take a try with the Troubleshooter (For Windows 7, 8 and 8.1):
    Open the Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter
    Fix Windows Media Player video, and other media or library issues
    Or you may try to turn Windows Features on or off to reset Windows  Media Player:
    Turn Windows features on or off (Before turn it on again, please remember to reboot first)

  • My iPhone 5s sounds stop working.i did not do anything it just stop working when I tried to turn on my music player all the sounds is not working I already check the volume and it is not also muted :( what happened can anyone solve my prob

    Hello everyone my iPhone 5s sounds stop working.i did not do anything it just stop working when I tried to turn on my music player all the sounds is not working I already check the volume and it is not also muted :( what happened can anyone solve my problem please

    Hey Kirby17,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you are not getting any sound from the speaker, follow this article.
    iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • What can I do about this message -"Toshiba DVD Player has stopped working"

    Hi
    My DVD Player used to work fine . . . and then I installed iTunes.
    It then worked for a while, but only by using 'Run as Administrator'.
    After a couple of weeks I started to get the message "Toshiba DVD Player has stopped working".
    I have uninstalled iTunes - and uninstalled and then re-installed the DVD Player - but it still will not work!!
    Any solutions please?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Ms Q_reeus

    My solution to this is to remove Toshiba DVD player and install VLC player. You can get it for free.
    It can read all video formats and you don't need some additional codecs.

  • Ipad4 front camera just stopped working

    My Ipad 4 camera has just stopped working; the rear camera works fine but when you toggle across the whole thing locks?
    three weeks out of warranty; feels like an Apple 'frig' to me!

    Hi Brendan
    Unfortunately that doesn't work; and had already done all the guidance and also tried full resets from the settings as well.
    The rear camera works fine but when you toggle to the front facing camera it blurs the previous rear facing image and then effectively locks the screen and doesn't allow you to toggle back to the rear camera or move between photo/video/square. Even when you close the application it then reboots into a  front screen black image which you can only get out of by rebooting the iPad.
    As I bought this from Apple as a refurbished model and it's 12 months and 3 weeks old which means from an Aplle perspective its out of warranty and any kind of support assistance. It seems the only way I can get support is to spend £25 to get someone from Appleto talk to me.
    The guidance from numerous facebook contributors suggest is it would  be wiser to spend the £25 pursuing Apple for a resolution on the HM Courts Website 'Money Claim Online' as under the UK Sale & Supply of Goods act its reasonable to expect it to continue to work after less than 13 months usage.

  • QuickTime Player has stopped working

    On my Vista machine, I can not run Quicktime since I get the error "QuickTime Player has stopped working" so it basically crashes. If I run Quicktime from other user accounts it works fine. It also works fine if I run it "as administrator". I have uninstalled and reinstalled it with no success. I have also followed suggestions in this forum to erase some hidden quicktime related files with no success. Does anyone have any other ideas???

    Many thanks. Best to print off a copy of these instructions, because at one stage of proceedings you won't be able to use a web browser.
    Preliminaries
    Switch "Run as administrator" off in the QuickTimePlayer.exe compatibility tab.
    Download and save a fresh copy of the QuickTimeInstaller.exe (installer file) from the following page. Get the option that doesn't mention iTunes. Don't run the install on line, and don't start the install just yet.
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    Now quit all of iTunes, Safari and the MobileMe control panel if you have them installed and open. (They all use AAS, and may interfere with the uninstall if left open.)
    *Uninstall phase*
    Head into your Uninstall a program control panel. Uninstall QuickTime. Uninstall Apple Application Support.
    (From this point, none of iTunes, Safari or the MobileMe control panel will launch until we reinstall AAS, which should happen when we reinstall QuickTime.)
    Next we'll remove any leftover program files and folders.
    In "Computer" open "Local Disk C:" (or whichever drive you have your program files installed on).
    Open the "Program Files" folder.
    Right-click on the "QuickTime" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    Open the "Common Files" folder.
    Open the "Apple" folder.
    Right-click on the "Apple Application Support" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    In "Computer" open "Local Disk C:" (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "System32" folder.
    Right-click on the "QuickTime" and "QuickTimeVR" files (if they still exist) and select "Delete".
    Empty your Recycle Bin.
    (If you got any error messages on the uninstalls and/or deletions, let us know what they say. Precise text, please.)
    *Reinstall Phase*
    Restart the PC. After the PC restarts do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
    Now start the reinstall by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe file you downloaded earlier. (This should also reinstall Apple Application Support.)
    Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
    ... does QuickTime launch without the error this time? Or do we still have to do the "Run as administrator" thing?

  • My iphone 5 speakerphone just stopped working today while on the phone?  whats going on?, My iphone 5 speakerphone just stopped working today while on the phone?  whats going on?

    My iphone 5 speakerphone just stopped working today as i was on the phone.  i have tried to use it, and it doesnt work.  THis really stinks because now im completly unable to video chat and do other things.. please help!!!

    Booked into the Genius Bar at the Apple store in the Manchester Arnedale shopping centre and arrived on time today.
    The staff asked if I had backed it up, which I responded that I had. I also explained that I had been on the forums and followed some of the advice.
    My iphone 5 was only 7 months old and still under warranty, so I should have expected excellent service, and I got it. The phone was repaired by the store and returned to me approximately 30 minutes earlier.
    Happy days.

  • All of a Sudden, My Flash Player Has Stopped Working

    Early Friday afternoon (just yesterday), my Flash Player was working fine.  I am using Mozilla's Firefox on a Windows 7 computer (Dell Inspiron 530S).   Then, inexplicably, it failed.  Several websites reported that something couldn't be displayed because I didn't have Adobe's Flash Player installed.  Gotta tell you, I wasn't making any changes to the operating system nor to the browser.  In fact, I wasn't changing ANY of my settings on ANY computer.  Then Friday evening, Flash Player simply stopped working.
    I UN-installed the existing program, re-booted, then RE-installed Flash Player and, again, there is no message saying INSTALLED SUCCESSFULLY.  Could any of these be a delayed result of the the latest version of Firefox, which was released on 9/30/2011, about a week ago?
    Now, I can't even install the Acrobat after uninstalling IT.
    Any ideas?

    From IE go to the Tools menu and deselect ActiveX Filtering.
    That's it!
    If this works for you, please spread the word! I spent hours loading older versions of Flash, configuring Pop-Up Blocker, and generally tearing my hair out.
    How would that possibly help resolving the o/p's problem with Firefox...?
    Also, why did you spend hours when your solution is right here in the FAQ on top of the forum http://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
