I get a black screen when I try to open a video in the wmv(video/x-ms-wmv Object) format

Question provides the details

Thanks for the suggestion - removing my adblock and reinstalling the
flashplayer solved the problem, working fine now with new adblock which
will go bye-bye before I do the next update (not a fan of resorting to
swearing at my screen!)

  • I'm Getting a Black Screen When I Try to Watch Some of My Movies

    I can hear the movie, but I can't see anything; it is a black screen.  It only happens to some videos (all of which I've downloaded from iTunes).  I tried removing and re-adding the movies, and it hasn't changed anything.

    Hi kibbles1053,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The article below will help you troubleshoot the issue you are having with viewing some videos on your iPod classic:
    iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2729
    Why do I sometimes not see video but I hear audio, and other times I don't hear audio but I see video?
    If you hear audio but don't see video, refer to iPod plays audio but not videos, movies, or TV shows. If you see video, but don't hear audio, refer to iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files.
    iPod plays audio but not videos, movies, or TV shows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1894
    Symptoms
    If the audio for movies plays through the headphones and you see "Now Playing" on the iPod screen with a progress bar, but the video does not appear on the iPod screen, then you may have the TV Out video setting turned on.  To change your TV Out setting so you can view video with your sound:
    Navigate on your iPod to Videos > Video Settings
    Select TV Out to set it to Off or Ask.
    If the issue continues, make sure you are accessing the video through the Videos menu. If you have a video mixed in an audio playlist, you also won't be able to see the video.
    If you continue to have issues with a movie you have purchased and downloaded from the iTunes Store, click on the link below:

  • When I download a PDF file using Adobe I get a black screen when attempting to print and if I save the file I get a corrupted response when opening it.

    This does not always happen, for example if I get a PDF file by email, it appears to be primarilly when I download from the internet.
    I use Adobe Reader X1. Can you assist please. Thanks

    Thanks Eric, no it does not help the matter. I opened the file using preview and the same message appeared. Thanks.

  • On my iPad2 I get a black screen when Itry to open FaceTime.  Others can contact me and the camera and audio work.  How do I fix this problem?

    On my iPad2 I get a black screen when I attempt to open Face Time.  Others can contact me and they come in with video and audio.  I can chat with them as well.  Is there a fix for this?  I have verified my email address twice.  I have turned FaceTime on and off several times as well. 
    Thanks,
    Bill

    I double clicked the round button when the icons appeared I held down and selected the FaceTime icon while it was shaking I selected the minus sign on the FaceTime icon closing it out.  Then I restarted the iPad and bingo FaceTime works now.

  • 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. .
    Regards

  • Why do I get a black screen when i click on a PDF in a web page?

    why do I get a black screen when i click on a PDF in a web page? Firefox works as is should.

    Hi,
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, then relaunch Safari. Try a PDF file.
    If it's not Extensions, open a Finder window. Select MacintoshHD in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Internet Plug-Ins folder. If you see any files such as this:
    AdobePDF Browser or Viewer Plug-in
    Move it to the Trash, relaunch Safari.
    Carolyn :-)

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Getting a black screen when publishing in Captivate 4.

    I am getting a black screen when publishing in Captivate 4. I have noticed patches that care for this with later versions, but is there something available for version 4.

    Thank you for your reply, I work for Citi and am personally unable to make decisions about updating our Flash player version. Is there a patch for this issue for Captivate 4?

    Hi there, Thanks for reaching Adobe Community. Please accept my apologies for the same. Try updating your Flash Player to the latest version and then republish the project. This black screen issue was first discovered few months ago after the first Flash Player 10 release.  The link to download the latest version of flash is here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/  Newer versions of Flash Player do not result in the same issue.  Thanks!Shekhar

  • I get a black screen when I enlarge a thumbnail to edit

    I get a black screen when I enlarge a thumbnail to edit

    If it's just a black screen and no exclamation mark in the middle then it's likely a permission issue.
    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    select the options identified in the screenshot.
    Click to view full size
         3 - launch iPhoto and try again.

    Have you upgraded to iPhoto 9.6 for compatibility with Yosemite? If not, try that first.
    It looks like iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnails and the original image files.
    This can be caused by a corrupted iPhoto library, or the originals have been deleted or moved.
    Try first to rebuild your iPhoto Library:
    If you do not have a current backup of the iPhoto library, make a copy of the library, but do not overwrite any previous backup.
    Launch iPhoto with the ⌥⌘-key combination (option-command) held down.
    Select "rebuild" from the first aid panel.  This may take a while for a large library.
    Can you now see your photos again?
    If not, rebuild the library with iPhoto Library manager as described by Old Toad:            Re: iphoto crashed
