I downloaded a tv show that when I try play on Ipad it skips like a scratched DVD and now screen is black, what should I do?

Ihave downloaded a tv show and when I try to play on my ipad it skipped and then screen has gone black.  What should I do?

If the Videos app is now 'frozen then 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.

  • Downloaded firefox 5 and now screen is black except for toolbar

    My laptop has windows XP. I downloaded Firefox 5 and my screen is black except for the toolbar. It doesn't matter which site I try to get to, the screen is still black. I had to go to my IGoogle homepage an access the help link because once I go back to Firefox, black screen again. I never had this problem until I upgraded to 5. Any help would be appreciated or I will have to go back to the older version of Firefox.

    Hi Aphthonius,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you only see the "connect to iTunes" screen on your iPhone, this means that the device is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. The information and steps in this article can help further:

    Hi there ella_dunne,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

  • My I Mac showed an error while updating the OS and now just hangs. What should I do?

    I Mac asked me to update the OS from 10.7.3. It showed an error and now the computer just hangs. Its become excuriatingly slow. Takes about 15-20 minutes to boot up and takes hours to perform any function. I tried to update the OS again but it keeps showing an error in connecting to the server. What do I do.?

    Have you tried booting into the Recovery HD to check/repair your disk. Restart holding Command+R - once booted select Disk Utility and then select Macintosh HD and click on 'repair disk' If it fixes anything click repair disk again until you get a clean pass. Whilst in Disk Utility you could also 'repair disk permissions' With Macintosh HD still selected click on 'repair disk permissions'. Once done, restart as normal from the Apple menu.
    Then try updating again using the 'combo', available here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1582
    If you still have problems you could try a Safe Boot: restart holding down the shift key until you see the grey progress bar. Once booted restart as normal from the Apple menu.

  • When I try to convert a pdf to Word, it says the document is password protected.  What should I do?

    When I try to convert a pdf to Word, it says the document is password protected and the Word option is gray.

    Probably, give up. But
    * if you HAVE the password you can remove it with Acrobat Pro
    * you can ask the document's creator for an unprotected file
    Sometimes passwords are added automatically and not known, for example some banks do this; there is no solution.

    How did you import the photos to iPad and iPhone?
    If the photos have been synced to the iPhone and iPad using iTunes, you cannot sync them back.
    See this document:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures in the Camera Roll or Saved Photos from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device:
    If your photos are not in the Camera Roll on your devices, save them to the Camera Roll, share them to the Photo Stream, mail the photos, or, if you have iPhoto on the devices, use iTunes Photo Sharing.

  • How do I keep the keypad open when making a call? I may need to enter an extension and the screen is black.

    After I make a call sometimes I need to enter an extension. When I receive certain calls I need to be able to hit a keypad number. The phone screen goes dark in both situations. How do I keep it lit?

    It remains dark even when you move the phone away from your ear?  Is the proximity sensor covered by a screen protector or case, perhaps?
    Try hitting the menu button to see if that lights up the screen so you can enter extensions or respond to prompts.

  • ICloud - when I try to login it says " maximum number of free accounts given for this iPhone ". What should I do now?

    Can someone pls help me?

    Each device can only create a maximum of three iCloud accounts.  Once those have been create and you try to create another you get this message.  You cannot delete one of the previous accounts in order to create another one.  All you can do is either re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create a new account to use on another iOS device (running iOS 5 or higher) or Mac (running OS X 10.7.2 or higher) and sign into the account on your phone.
