Why do I have a black screen when playing back TV shows?

I am running Win 7, and iTunes 10.7. Recently, when trying to play back episodes on my PC of a TV show that I purchased, the playback screen is black, with no video or audio. The time counter is counting down the clock as if it's playing, but there's nothing to see or hear. If I re-boot my PC, the show will play properly, but the black-screen instance has occurred several times now, and I'd like to figure out why it's happening at all.

Because there is a problem. Want to try fix it?
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. .

Premiere CS4 exported videos for ipod all show black screen when played

Hi,
I am trying to export a video for an ipod from an mp4 source file.
The project settings are set to ipod and so are the export settings. I get a normal video file (mp4) with the right resolution etc. The sync with itunes works without problems and i get the right thumbnail of the video in the Ipod menu.
But when i try to play the video i only get a black screen, the timer is running and i have sound.
I think i have tried all the possible settings. None of them worked.
Can you help me? Where is the problem?
Thank you

export to a regular .wmv file, or any other type you want.
now use a program like this one:

If you have deep pockets you can try Sorenson Squeeze.
or you can try this one

unfortunately this doesn't solve your problem the way you wish. ( a free fix )
I'd do a good Google search for answers, with some good keywords, and you may find
a solution that won't cost you anything.

MSI 6850 OC Edition Black Screen when playing Crysis Warhead

Random crashes in Crysis Warhead DX10. It also happened once in Command and Conquer 3 Kanes Wrath DX9.
I get a black screen monitor turns off and the sound goes buzz the system then hangs. The reset button wont work. The MSI LED BIOS code displays C2. Power off then on. The system is stable 2 hours Prime95 CPU only hits 150F. Ran Furmark GPU stable test 1 hour. Turned the fan to manual and set to high the gpu stays around 70c with Furmark GPU. Memtest overnight. No problems. Tried CAT 10.12 10.11 10.10 the MSI downloaded version. Nothing. Clean drivers out. I updated SPTD to 1.75 from per another posts advice. Seems something is really wrong with the drivers and rendering certain objects reboots the card. The card is rock solid on stablity tests and Futuremarks benchtests.
Nvidia Physx game driver uninstalled. Still crashes
Now testing it with SPTD uninstalled. Running tests have my doubts.

2 hour test ran. No errors. Seems like a wimpy test. The GPU Temp never went over 42c. 360-370 FPS.
Already ran a 2 hour test with Furmark GPU with out errors or artifacts. 2 hour CPU only Prime95 test. Memtest over night. System is stable by all accounts. Just when playing some games it will completely mess the system up.
For those MSI motherboard people. Why would the LED Motherboard light say 2C or maybe it was C2. Why would the system not reboot with the reset button. The 6850 card some how goes in to lala land.

Select priority 9,
Select "Large, in-places FFT's",
Then click on "Start" and let's test overnight.

5800 XM problems.. Black Screen when playing and b...

When playing Rt GR the screen gets Black and after like 3 seconds it comes back to Normal. Does the phone have a defect or something? And another question is about The 3 buttons : The green, The White and The Red. I have a problem because sometimes the White doesn't light up while the other's Do and after a while it lights up but soon after it fades again. Is my mobile defect or something? Or its normal, cause I am a bit worried since I bought it today

Dear Sir, yes, I have bought 5800 two days ago and found the same problems. it's not Iphone the touchscreen is bad or software is bad or the same. you should always press wtice on any button and it reacts bad way tell the truth. About your problem with white button I think it';s normal for this thing and your black screen is because of law capacity of the hardware in this phone. I'm dissapointed with this phone

Black screen while playing video in itunes

I am currently running itunes 11.1.2.32 on a windows 8.1 (64 bit) pc. I had to reinstall itunes when switching from 8.1 preview to 8.1 due to download issues. I now have a black screen when playing videos in itunes. Audio still works. Suggestions?

I've had the same problem. Tried switching from the built in Intel video to an nVidia graphics card, reinstalled cursed a lot.
Finally got it working the hard ware. Built a virtual XP machine (like the SP support system in Windows 7). Installed itunes in the virtual machine and can now watch my movies and tv shows. Both itunes and Windows 8.1 seem to be "not ready for prime time". I wish MS wouldn't have tried to make a computer look like a cell phone/pad.

I can't upload Iphone 5 video or send it in an email. It will play in iTunes but just gives a black screen when I try o email. I get an error message when I try to upload. Any Ideas?? I've already reinstalled OS X

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Apple TV blurry black screen when streaming from iMac?

My Apple TV shows a black blurry screen when trying to stream from my 2013 iMac. ATV works perfectly with iPad/iPhone but not iMac. Audio from iMac is fine, just no video. Both products are entirely up to date as far as software goes and restarting both + wifi hasn't achieved any results. Any **** would be appreciated, thanks.

I've found out it is an Mavericks 10.9.2 and 10.9.3 failure! Online I have found more people with the very same Problem, and all of them are running 10.9.2/3 - ON THEIR IMACS (different Models)!
My Apple TV and Streaming Services were functioning just fine 2-3 Monts ago, the only thing that changed was Updating my iMac Mid 2011 to 10.9.2 -> Then i've got the black screen when streaming, could not activate DisplayMirroring, when i played something in itunes or VLC the sound went through AppleTV but no video.
Then have checked it with iPad 2 = OK, iPhone 5 = OK, MBP Early 2008 with SnowLeopard = OK,
so i decided to Install an 10.9 on an external drive - and guess what? It works! Tried to Update (ComboUpdate) to 10.9.1 and it was still OK, got the BLACK SCREEN after ComboUpdate 10.9.2, and tried to Install 10.9.3 just to see if it will solve the problem -> NOT
this must be a joke!

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
Error 1600, 1601, 1602
Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
