  • Firefox actualized the new version, but it looks only a black screen and no watch buttons and scroll bars, nothing

    The new version of Firefox dosen't work is only a black screen without buttons and scroll bars. I try re install and uninstall and erase files, but dosen't work.

    Sorry, please disable hardware acceleration as a temporary workaround. This is an incompatibility between Firefox 33 and some older graphics card/chipset drivers. More info: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1025438

  • Songs stop playing on my iphone I try to start it again and it will not play for more than 2-4 seconds, does anyone have the solution to this problem?

    I have Imatch and songs stop playing on my iphone I try to start it again and it will not play for more than 2-4 seconds, does anyone have the solution to this problem?

    By "hard reset" you mean hold down the Home and power buttons until the iOS device restarts, correct?

  • Error message  - and iTunes will not play anything at all

    After scouring forums for similar issues, I have tried a complete uninstall and reinstall of iTunes with MacAfee firewall disabled. Nada. iTunes starts with an error message saying 'Configuration error, audio and video files may not play back correctly' (or similar). Library comes up and I can see my recent purchases, but nothing will play. Frustrating to say the least.
    I am Windows 7, I have McAfee and Malwarebytes running.
    What else can I try? This is extra infuriating as I have just purchased five albums of new music.

    Try the white-screen topic of:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store may be in order.

  • Rented movies on iTunes will not play?

    I rented a move on iTunes and in the middle of the movie I paused it and when I preset play the movie was still not playing? I runing the latest version of iTunes.

    Do the movies move but not play? Or do they not move? If you can post more details, including your model of iPhone and the OS version it's running and the version of iTunes you have, perhaps someone here can help you sort out the problem.
    As to contacting the iTunes Store, you can contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the form on their Support page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find an "Email Us" button). But they'll probably have you go through troubleshooting steps first, so you might want to do so here, which is often easier and more helpful, before you contact the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • HT1476 ever since I upgraded to ios 7, the battery life is very short and I do not use my ipad all that much.l have been on the phone to apple 3 times, turning off all kinds of things I so not use and have powered off more than before but it is still poor

    ever since I upgraded to ios 7, my battery life is very short. I do not use the ipad all that much and have to charge it twice as much as before. I have been on the phone to Apple 3 times and turned off a number of things that I am not using and now power it off more regularly but still not happy with battery life. It is less than a year old and as I said, I don' t use it all that much

    My best bet would be to restore the phone. Back it up to itunes, and then reset it Factory settings. This way, any corrupt software will be removed, and you can start fresh. Make sure you back it up first. By the sounds of it, you are using the phone for business and probably need the data from it. Hope this helps!

  • I downloaded two movies for rental and they will not play, i downloaded two movies for rental and they will not play

    i downloaded rented movies and they will not play, it says that they are on another device.

    Are the files still physically on the hard drive?
    You can verify that in the Download Manager window via the right-click context menu.

    If Open Containing Folder and Open are grayed then the files were removed and are no longer present in the original download location.

    Are you doing it thru the Settings panel or are you downloading independently thru the App Store?

    If the problem is iTunes slowing down and not appearing to run correctly, you should check  this Apple article out-> Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    You may want to try resetting Winsock as a temporary fix.
    1. To do so, please do the following in an administrator user:

    Windows XP: Click Start > Run and type in cmd.
    2. Enter the following command: 
    netsh winsock reset
    3. Restart the computer and test the issue.
    Note:  If the issue returns, third-party software may be reinserting the LSP.

  • I've downloaded a rented movie and transferred to mi ipod touch but can't find it on the device - where do I find it to play

    I've downloaded a rented movie and transferred to my Ipod touch but can't find it on the device to watch it - where do I find it?

    Hi,
    Have you tried using your iPod's Search function to find the movie?  (The Search function is to the left of the home screen.) 
    Hope this helps!

  • I could not download a rented movie and cannot find a way to receive a refund. Do I have to use the dispute process with my Visa provider?

    When rented movies do not download properly or completely, there seems to be no method to obtain a refund.  It is poor business to require the customer to use the credit card dispute process to make good on a bad purchase.  This was my first and last attempt at downloading a rented movie from iTunes.  I would NOT recommend the process to a friend.  The site is confusing, the process takes forever, the movie did not completely download, and the company only provides a 24 hour period to correct the problem (left up totally to the customer).  Thank God for Netflix!  Always works and is very reliable!

    There are a number of methods to contact iTunes Support when you have a problem with a purchase. You can try the 'report a problem' page to contact them : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    Or you can use this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • HT1657 I downloaded a rented movie through my iMac and now I want to watch it on my apple tv, why isn't it working?

    Help

    Hello FeedUpUser,
    Thank you for the question.  When you purchase a rental, you can view it on one device at a time:
    Can I play my rental on more than one device?
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657
    If you are using a first generation Apple TV, you can transfer your movie to the Apple TV using the steps in the section titled "Transfer a rental from your iTunes library to iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV" in the following articles:

    If you have a second or third generation Apple TV, you can use AirPlay to play the rental through your Apple TV.  You can find the steps in the following article:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5922
    If you have not been able to view your rental, I recommend reporting the issue:
