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...

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:

Every since ios8 my camera is not working with text or with other apps that worked flawlessly before. I just get a black screen when I go to take a photo.

Ever since downloading ios8 onto my 5S the camera isn't cooperating with other apps--messages, Freshbooks in particular. What's up with that? Very frustrating!

MacBook Pro / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better. Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG. However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.
This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success. So here's what I did:
1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
[also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
5. Go back to the Get Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!

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!)

Cant play tv shows on ipad after downloading just get a black screen

My first generation ipad will not play tv shows that I have purchased from Itunes. Once they are downloaded on to the ipad I just get a black screen when I try to play them. If I restore the ipad I can SOMETIMES watch them for a short while before it reverts back to a black screen. So Frustrating!!

Hello LBV123,
The next step would be to report the issue to the folks in the iTunes Store, as detailed in the article below.

Black screen when i try to record on imovie??

Its the subject line exactly : why do i get a black screen when i try to record on imovie?

Could you explain what you mean by "try to record on iMovie?" Are you referring to imports or exports here?

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
TD

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.

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.

Films downloaded won't play.I just get a black screen. My computer crashed last week and I had to do a 'total recovery' - an important link is missing... anyone any idea what it could be? I have updated iTunes and Quick Player

Films that I have downloaded from iTunes won't play. I just get a black screen. My computer crashed last week and I had to do a Total Recovery - Films played perfectly before this. I must have deleted a program or link.............. anyone know what could be missing? I can play YouTube videos etc. but nothing in the iTunes store - films or trailers won't work.

The movie is from iTunes. You would think that a download from iTunes to a MacBook could be watched on an HDTV using Apple TV without any headaches bit this does not appear to be the case.

I can't get the tv shows to play... just getting a black screen.

I can't get the tv shows to play... just getting a black screen. HELP!!!!!

caddis,
I am getting the EXACT same problem. I started to watch an iTunes purchased TV Show episode back on February of 2014. I stopped after about 15 minutes to come back and watch it later.
Yesterday, I tried to continue the tv show, and NOTHING. All I get is a black screen with no audio. The time bar is advancing, so iTunes thinks it is playing. BUT NOTHING.
Can anyone assist with this problem?
PS: I use my iTunes on my PC only, and have for years without this problem.
PC is fully HDCP compliant.
Intel i7-4770K
Windows 7 Professional
