ITunes turns screen completely black

Whenever I open iTunes everything turns black for a while.

It's really annoying. Ignore the stuff in the Task Bar

Same issue, same screen. I've tried switching to 16bit, but that doesn't help, so I've put it back to 32bit.
Reinstalling, alt+tab out of/into iTunes doesn't work either.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?

How do I make my iMac screen completely black - without sleep or turning it off?

I have somebody sleeping in my office who finds the light from my iMac disturbing, even when it's turned down to the lowest level.
Is there an easy way, just for a few days, to make the screen completely black at night - I don't want it to sleep or to switch it off so I can use it early in the morning remotely.

What you are suggesting, puts the computer to sleep. just what fusbariclation does not want to do. He/she just wants to put the display to sleep.
On my iMac, my Macbook Pro, my Wife's Macbook Air and her Macbook Pro the Control-Shift-Eject just turns off the screen, but the iMac continues to run, which if very important for me, as my iMac is a web server for the rest of my team at work. I generally hit Control-Shift-Eject as I'm leaving the office every night.
HOWEVER, since the OP (Fustbariclation) wants to access the iMac remotely, and wants the screen to be blacked out during the remote access so it will not disturb the guest in the same room with the iMac, my Control-Shift-Eject does not work for the OP. I missed that essential tidbit in the original problem description.
Other contributes have come through with working solutions for Fustbariclation

ITunes starts up completely black

Whenever I load iTunes (7.4.3.1) on Windows Vista Ultimate, when the program starts, the iTunes interface is completely black. When I click on something, such as a song in my library or a button, that part is no longer black, and if I minimize it and re-maximize it, it is no longer black, but it starting that way is a problem.
Any ideas?

Nokia N85 screen completely black

Hello. I recently bought a nokia n85 off ebay, it works fine except for the menu button and the screen is completely black, not even the screen backlight turns on. All of the components are properly inserted, but problem still persists. I have connected the phone to the TV using TV-out cable and the phone is working properly. All i want to know is it an LCD problem or a flex cable problem? I can't tell by myself.

It's not any easier for us to tell either and since we cannot discuss disasembling here you will have to search for help some where else on a unofficial forum.
What I can suggest is that you drop by a Nokia care point and ask if they can have a look at it.
Good luck!

Adobe Flash Player Installer Screen completely black

When trying to install Adobe Flash Player, Mac 10.10.2, Safari 8.0.4, the Adobe Flash Player Installer page and popup screens are completely black and not accessible.

A) The screenshot didn't work. It's not complex to visualize. Just imagine a window in the app "Install Adobe Flash Player" which has the words Adobe Flash Player Installer in the top most horizontal section, on the same level as the Mac Red and Yellow circles. Then imagine that everything below that level is completely black. That's what it looks like.
B) When I went to Installation problems | Mac, and hit "
Flash Player for Safari and Firefox - NPAPI
then I get a Safari tab http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg. The entire window area below the tab line is also completely black. Plus there is a pop-up that says "Plug-in blocked for this website"

OS2 - Camera screen completely black

I had some issues with the camera giving me gray bars while I was on the beta. I upgraded and saw the same thing so I did a security wipe. Now all I get is a completely black screen. The pull down menu does show up, but there is nothing in the app window at all. Restarting hasn't helped either. Any idea how I can get my camera back?

I did another security wipe and OS load from Desktp Manager. This time it loaded 1 component instead of 69. When it was done, I also had my default wallpaper, video, and music back that were not present after the OS load I did at work yesterday. The camera didn't work right after the load though. I've rebooted several times since then.

TS4080 screen completely black

How can I update the software if the screen is completely black/dark?

Does it stay bleck if you reboot?
Does it seem like it's running otherwise?

When I go to view a video I downloaded from iTunes the screen goes black and won't play. Tried turning it off multiple times. Still downs not work

Worst part is I am on a plane and now have time to kill as I can't watch my movie right now

Quit the video app and try again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit the app by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the video app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the app. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Launch the video app again and see what happens.
If that doesn't work - go to the home screen again and swipe to the right to bring up the search feature. Type the name of the movie in the search field at the top. If the movie shows up in the search - tap on the icon and hopefully it will start playing. Let it play for a couple of minutes and tap done. go back to the video app and see if the movie appears there. If so you should be able to play it from there.
If that doesn't work, try resetting the iPad and launch the video app again.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

External Monitor with iTunes - iMac screen goes black

I have an iMac with iTunes 7.7/Leopard and an external VGA monitor (I use the standard Apple mini-DVI to VGA converter) then I use the external monitor to watch video from my iTunes library.
All works well - I have my desktop spread over both monitors, I fire up a movie from iTunes, move the video window across to the external monitor and everything is good - I can watch the video on the external monitor whilst continuing to work on my Mac - the iMac screen displays the Mac desktop as normal.
However, if I put the movie into fullscreen mode (view -> fullscreen on the iTunes menu), the external monitor displays the movie in fullscreen mode as it should, however the iMac monitor goes black.
The only way to fix this is to exit fullscreen mode and go back to one of the view options (rg fit to screen).
Any ideas how I can have my external monitor in fullscreen mode and have my desktop back?
Many thanks

Music App: Tilting Device Turns Screen into Black Tiles

Hello, I have a 5th generation iPod Touch, and I updated it to iOS 7. I am having a minor but annoying problem with the music app.
The display for the music app looks like this:
Once in a while, when the device tilts, the screen turns into a series of black tiles, like this:
When the screen turns into black tiles, I cannot restore it to the original display. I have to shut down the device, start it again, and hope it doesn't tilt enough to switch over to the tiles again.
Is there a way to restore the display from these black tiles to the default screen? If so, what is the procedure? Thank you!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Phone stuck in recovery mode complete black screen will not turn on after recovery and update there was an error and now computer and itunes will not recognize the phone....Anyone know what I can do to get the phone recognized again when it cant be turned

Phone was not updated on time so it automatically shuts off and you get a plain black screen until it is recovered and updated. Well when i did the update and recovery I received an error. I went through the steps to fix the error, I had to restart my computer and now the phone isnt recognized on my computer or in itunes. The screen is still completely black so pushing the home button and plugging in to computer still does nothing. Device manager shows nothing in usb port, and apple mobile device software is installed and running. Any help?

Hello agardner37701,
I found some steps you can take when your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes when in Recovery Mode. I recommend reviewing the steps in the section titled "If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode" under step 5 in the following article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
