  • Black video windows in iTunes 11.1.5

    since update to iTunes 11.1.5 on Windows 7 - 64-bit, I got a black video window after starting a movie from store or bibliothek (trailer and also own videos). iTunes 11.1.4.62 works fine on my other Windows 7 in a virtual machine, but I don't have the installation setup file for this version, just 11.3, 11.1.12 and older versions 10 and 9. On my Windows XP computer iTunes 11.1.0.126 works fine and videos can be watched, but not in connection with my TV (using a HDMI cable)
    10 days ago I made a graphic driver update from NVIDIA "335.23-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql" for a GeForce GT 230M, but I could not beliefe there is a connection.  Windows software is (always) up to date on my notebook computer, also any other 3th party software.
    I reinstalled all iTunes components are described by the support, but there is no further solution.
    Regards

    problem solved, NVIDIA graphic driver, the latest version 335.23 was debt. I reinstalled one of the previous versions 326.80 and now iTunes displays videos as usual and perfect. It is not always the best, to have all software upto date, to the contrary it can be fatal, although all support assistents recommend this.

  • Black video window trying to share video from elgato video capture connected to a sony pmw-ex3 camer

    Hi,
    Im trying to share video on adobe connect with "elgato video capture" usb plug in capture card, connected with a sony pmw-ex3 professional camera on a Lenovo windows 8 laptop, but the video window appears on black.
    I have tried to change the resolution from low to high on the program, but it doesnt works. i´ve tried to change from panoramic to normal view size, and still dont work.
    If i use the "elgato video capture" software from elgato web, the card works fine and capture video from the sony camera.
    What should i do?It could be caused by screen resolution?
    P.S: I have tried on a windows 7 asus laptop and it works fine.

    You may need to use DVdriver along with your desired USB device. It allows your computer to see the video input as a 'webcam' and thus allows Connect to see it. Free to try, $20 to buy.

  • Quicktime 7.5 - Black Video and no Audio - Using Windows Vista

    Hello,
    I tried asking this, but I don't think I was clear enough.
    Current Computer - Dell Inspiron, Quad Core, 4gig Ram, < 1yr old.
    Running OS - Vista Home
    Up until recently Quicktime worked fine, then all of the sudden the video is gone.
    The audio is still there however.
    What I have done to try to resolve -
    1) Reviewed previous topics and tried the following -
    a) update Preferences to Safe Mode (That made a white stripe in the black screen)
    b) Update preferences to remove Direct 3D video acceleration, nothing changed
    2) Reinstall Quicktime 7.5 - No change, still shows BLACK video and will play audio
    3) Reinstall Itunes with Quicktime - No change still shows BLACK video and will play audio
    Thank you for any help you can provide!

    I have found a temporary workaround for this. I can open the indeo 5.1 formatted avi's in another program (either fade to black or virtualdub) and change/convert to another indeo codec called IYUV (as opposed to IV50) and while it renders a much larger avi file, those DO open in Quicktime, and when I export to convert this larger avi into a MOV file, it is about the same file size in the end product as the ones I render from the same 5.1 avi on the other computer. Knowing I can do this as needed saves me having to re-render all 400 or so of my avi's to another codec or lose them.
    I STILL think there is a fix out there that is related to somehow telling the registry to recognize the ir50_32.qtx codec the same as I finally did to get Windows MP to play these files, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet.
    Progress is supposed to make these files SMALLER with BETTER quality, but all I see so far with these "new improved" codecs is bigger files and no better (or even worse) image/sound quality. I'll change to more "modern" codecs when they show me one that is an actual improvement over the old one based on this criteria. And AVI remains the ONLY file format that can be extensively modified and edited artistically (zoom, crop, add watermarks and color filters and special effects). Apple is shooting themselves in the foot if they make us unable to open our AVIs in the pro version so we can continue to use QT Players on our web pages. I LIKE the mov finished product for both file size and quality, and I am happy to drive new customers to them as long as they let me convert my files in QT Pro. When I can't any longer, I'll convert every single website on all my websites player to Flash.

  • [SOLVED]xf86-video-intel-2.13.0-2 - Black screen/windows

    I've upgraded from xf86-video-intel-2.13.0-1 to release 2 and now every GL window is black, with no rendering.
    For example, glxgears give-me a black empty window with no rendering, also the games stoped working.
    I can confirm this issue on this igp:
    (II) intel(0): Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) Q35
    Mesa 7.9
    Any more confirmations?
    Downgrading to extra/xf86-video-intel solves the problem.

    Ok... let's wait for a fix.
    Thank you
    edit: release -3 solves the problem.

  • Playing video in iTunes on laptop running Windows Vista

    I recently changed my computer. I now have an HP Pavilion running windows Vista (use to have XP). I have a video iPod -30GB. I downloaded iTunes onto the new equipment without incident, but that is the last thing that went smoothly.
    I can no longer watch TV shows or movies from iTunes. The video plays like a slide show of stills (the audio is real-time however). Eventually I will get an error message from Windows and it closes the application.
    I am also having issues with syncing my iPod and computer. I get a message requiring me to delete all of the content of the iPod and replace it with the contents of iTunes.I haven't done this -no trust and no backup
    This message is from iTunes. I suspect it is a security feature to prevent downloading to more than one iPod, as iTunes doesn't seem to 'know' my iPod anymore. Syncing has also caused iTunes to close and my computer to reboot. Has anyone else had these problems?
    Any suggestions ... short of throwing the Windows computer out of a window?

  • Black built-in video windows in Safari

    First of all, I know there are several threads and questions regarding similar issues, but it seems to me that this might not be the same problem.
    On some websites (such as a Norwegian newspaper and on the Colbert Report and Daily Show websites) I simply can not play videos anymore. The built-in video windows just goes black. I hear the sound, I can use the scroll bar, but the video itself is black. Unlike similar issues posted in these communities, this does not affect Youtube, and it did not help to uninstall Flash Player 13 and downgrade to FP 12, so I don't think this is a Flash Player issue (I don't think the Norwegian newspaper that has the problem is running on flash neither, but I am not sure). This has been happening for about a month or so. Everytime this happens in Safari it works in both Chrome and Firefox. I've emptied the Safari cache and deleted the browsing and data settings in Flash Player, but to no avail. Please help.

    Might be an incompatible Safari extension or third party plug-in.  (DivX and other video add ons can cause issues with Flash).
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

    I usually watch video podcasts on iTunes rather than on my iPod. But when the video finishes, how do I close that window without closing iTunes?

    Oops. I just discovered the little white circle with the x in it, that appears in the upper right corner of the video window when the cursor is moved inside the window.

  • 1080p download and playback bugs in iTunes 10.6 for Windows

    There seems to be some bugs in iTunes 10.6 for Windows related to 1080p video.  According to Apple, the minimum specs for viewing 1080p video on a PC is:
    To play 1080p HD video on a PC, you need a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster processor, 2GB of RAM, and an Intel GMA X4500HD, ATI Radeon HD, or NVIDIA GeForce 8300 GS or better graphics processor.
    My PC exceeds these specs (Intel i5-2500K 3.3GHz CPU, 8GB of RAM, AMD Radeon 7970 video card, 30" Apple Cinema Display).  The first bug appears when I go into the preferences setting and switch the download preference fom 720p to 1080p, which triggers a warning box that says:
    This computer may not be able to play 1080p videos.  You can still download these videos for use on other devices.
    That's odd but I press "OK" and downloaded the 1080p copy of a TV episode.  When I press play, another warning box popped up:
    Video is too large.  The 1080p version of [show] is too large to play on this computer.  You can choose to play a smaller 720p version of this movie below.  This message will be dismissed in XX seconds.
    The message gives you three options: PLAY SMALLER VERSION / OK / CANCEL.  If I select OK or simply let the timer run down, the 1080p video starts playing without any problems.  Anyone else seeing this?

    Oh that clarifies things, I see what you mean.  The error message still confuses me because even your smaller Acer monitor matches the pixel resolution of the 1080p video - the video doesn't exceed the monitor's pixel ratio so it's not technically "too large" as the error message says.  The 1080p video should fill your Acer monitor edge to edge while leaving black borders on the top and bottom of your Samsung.  I think this is clearly a bug in iTunes.
    I know what you mean about the movie opening up so that a portion of the image is off the screen but that sounds like an issue related to the default position of the window when you start a video.  The default position is such that a smaller size like the SD copy probably isn't cut off but that a larger video does get chopped until you change where videos open by default.  I can change the position simply closing the video while it's playing.  iTunes remembers the place on the screen where I closed the video and opens all videos at the spot afterwards.  Does that not work for you?

  • Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)

    Hi!
    So i think i closed the wrong service at some point a few weeks back (apple mobile device) but iTunes remained working after that for another week. I then updated iTunes and i get the same  "Service ‘Apple Mobile Device’ (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." every time. If i click ignore, just so i can access iTunes with out syncing my iPod (touch 2nd gen) i then get 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)" when it has all installed. I don't understand what the problem is anymore as I have looked at other questions on the apple website, carried out the advice and it hasn't work. Any of them.
    Tings I have done:
    - Wiped all iTunes and Apple data from my computer (if you search for 'iTunes' or 'Apple' nothing comes up apart from applets from system code.
    - Attached iPod before iTunes install and updated drivers.
    - Installed iTunes as 'Run as administrator'
    - Uninstalled and re-installed the software nearly 20 times now and rebooted the computer in between everytime.
    Please someone help because i really need to get music on my ipod and i enjoy the ease of use of iTunes compared to spotify or Windows Media Player.

    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
    Regarding AMDS failures there is a hint in another thread that disabling the Windows Firewall before attempting to reinstall may help, otherwise take a look at the steps outlined in this post. Re: Can't install iTunes 12.1 on Windows 7 64-bit. I know they look a little daunting, but the process of generating the logs themselves isn't that hard to do. Extracting useful information from them is still a challenge but maybe something will leap out. If you want to post the log for the failed components for me to have a look at here or in the other thread please edit out any personal information, particularly your email address, first.

    If you still have trouble you might consider installing the alternate version iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards) where you can download a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of iTunes that works with older video cards. This version may also be useful for anyone who is unable to get the 64-bit version of Apple Application Support to install when using the itunes6464setup file, or has trouble with playback of certain video files despite having QuickTime installed.

  • ITunes deleted songs/videos/playlists from iPod touch and won't sync them onto iPod, but songs can still be played on iTunes however I just can't transfer them back onto my iPod. HELP!

    Hey, so I'm wondering if any of you can help me with this issue, I'd be unbelievably grateful for any help, I can't resolve it and I dislike my long commute without my iPod to listen to! Thanks in advance
    HOW IT HAPPENED: I had my iPod touch (32GB, 3rd generation) plugged into a speaker charging whilst playing music, and simultaneously I had iTunes (latest version for windows) open on my laptop (Dell - Windows). My iPod started to sync wirelessly with iTunes on my laptop and my music suddenly cut off.
    WHAT HAPPENED: Once the sync had finished, all (almost 4000) songs (and videos) had been wiped off my iPod (including any playlists) with the exception of less than thirty songs, all of which I'd noticed were songs I'd purchased on the iTunes store, a seemingly random selection though - some from a couple of months ago, some from a couple of years ago.
    I closed down everything on my laptop and restarted both laptop, iTunes and iPod then plugged my iPod in to sync. My iTunes library on my laptop is fully intact, complete with playlists, and I'm able to play songs normally from there, however despite numerous attempts, they just won't sync onto my iPod. Interestingly, no apps were deleted from my iPod. There's plenty of room on my iPod now, and even when everything on my iTunes library is synced onto it, there's still around 3GB space, so it can't be an issue to do with lack of space. I have no idea why it's happened, and the settings are for everything on iTunes to be synced to my iPod (I checked again) so it's not an issue with selective items to sync only either.
    A huge thank-you to anyone who can help me!

    I have the same problem!! only thing is that i have the ipod touch 5th generation and a mac. I've been trying to find a way to get all my music to play cuz it will only play on itunes but when i try to play it on my ipod it'll just show a circle with a red square in the middle next to the songs i cant play.

  • ITunes 10.5 on Windows 7 (64) - can not sync

    Hello,
    I've upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.0, and iTunes to 10.5 (Windows 7 64 bit). Now, when I connect my iPhone to the iTunes, the Sync button in iTunes is disabled, and single yellow bar is shown at the left (where capacity is typically being displayed). Also, i don't have my music/videos on the iphone anymore.
    I've tried complete reinstall, but it does not help. I've also tried to downgrade to iTunes 10.4.1, but it wouldn't sync with my iOS 5 device.
    Thanks!

    After multiple re-installs, the device now syncs, and yellow bar is replaced with a "more correct version", however i don't see any of my media files (music, photos, etc..) on the iphone. iTunes insists that they're on the iphone, but when i open, let's say, the music app, no music files are shown.
    Any ideas?
