Movies downloaded to my ipad are getting stuck and I get a blank screen

I donwload a couple episodes from a tv show, the first 3 episodes were great I saw them no problem, BUT then when I dowloaded the 4, I started watching and when it get to 75% of the episode stops, if I go back it gets stuck on the same part, then i get a blank screen and I have get out of the application if I get back on still the same blank screen, I downloaded the follwing episode from the same show and still the same problem.
I though that it could be space on the Ipad - I deleted some application and still the same problem....
I don't want to keep downloading and paying for something that is not working properly
This is only happening with I tunes - I'm able to watch ABC apps and Netflix...
Can you help me?

Have you tried copying them to your computer and seeing whether they play ok on your computer's iTunes, in case the download itself is corrupt ?
If the Videos app is still stuck, then try searching for the name of one of the videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Ipod stuck and froze, now has blank screen! HELP!

I was playing on an app and all of a sudden my screen froze. Even though it froze I still was able to touch and somewhat play the game, but i couldn't return to the home screen. I was able to get to the music/song section by double clicking the home button but it was still frozen. I also followed directions on how to restart my ipod but it only made it worse by leaving me with an unusable blank white screen.Not only that but I tried plugging it into my computer with the USB but nothing came up & I wasn't able charge it.
HOW CAN I FIX THIS????
I HAVE A ROAD TRIP TOMORROW AND I NEED THIS IPOD FOR IT!

What exactly does this mean? Your iMac doesn't authorize anything. Are you getting an error message or what message are you getting with regard to authorizing? The iPad is not authorized? What?
No do not restore yet.

How come although iPads are getting more powerful, the iOS apps from apple are so mediocre and just not that great? We spend all this money for the latest ipad and all we get is these $5 video and music apps from apple. Why create the iOS platform and only offer so so apps like IMovie and GarageBand ? While other developers are offering much better apps like pinnacle studio for video, Cubasis and Auria for music production, apple has not showed much growth in terms of innovation. While there's nothing wrong with making an app like GarageBand where "anyone " can make a song, how about something for real musicians or an app not so basic as it get for video editing? After spending 0ver $700 on an ipad I'd be willing to spend more than $5 for a better video or audio app.

First, try a system reset although I can't give you any confidence. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Ow do I sync a movie downloaded to iTunes, but I get a message that says "cannot sync movie to iPod because this computer is not authorized". What do I do to fix this?

How do I sync a movie downloaded to iTunes, but I get a message that says "Cannot sync movie to iPod because this computer is not authorized"? How do I fix this?

And I assume you have already checked to see if your iTunes purchases are authorized by choosing Store -> Authorize This Computer?
Some have been able to resolve this issue by removing the downloaded purchase and redownloading it again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for more information on redownloading past purchases.

Why on my ipad do some PDFs download and others I get a blank screen?

When I use safari to download PDFs sometimes I can and other times I get a blank page. But if I download the same pfd on my iPhone it works. Why doesn't it ways work when I use my ipad ?

I was having the same problem. I noticed that the PDFs that I was having problems with were usually large PDFs. I opened them on my computer and reprinted them through Adobe Reader but I refined them to a smaller size. Most of the time this does the trick. I know its a pain, but if you need to take PDFs with you on your iPad, its the only way I found it works. Here's how to do it:
Open the PDF on you computer (PC or Mac).
Click File--> Print in Reader.
Select "Adobe PDF" under printer.
Click on Properties --> Adobe PDF Settings (tab) --> Default settings. Select "Smallest File Size" from drop down. Click OK.
Click Print and save to your desktop.
This will create a small version of the original PDF file on you desktop.
Then email the PDF to yourself. Click on the PDF in the body of the email and open it. If you need to take it with you and read it without internet or wifi access, open it in in iBooks and it will be saved on your device.
I know this is a pain, but its the only way I can get certain PDFs to open on my iPad. If you don't have access to a computer, ask who ever is sending you the PDF to do it on their end and send it again.
Apple really needs to fix this problem. iOS really has a problem with certain PDFs. Sometimes you not only get a blank screen, but I find that some files are corrupted and come out with crazy colors and unreadable areas.

HT1539 How do I transfer my digital movie downloads to my iPad?

How do I transfer my digital movie downloads to my iPad?
Thanks,

Sync it as you would any other content from iTunes on the computer to an iOS device.

How can I transfer photos from an IPhone 5 to an IPad 2 using a cable. I have tried using the lightning to firewire adapter with my current lead but this only seems to allow a download from the Ipad to the Iphone and not the other way around.

The devices are not designed for transfer of that kind. Use Photo Stream as suggested by another poster, or transfer photos to your computer (a good idea anyway since they will be lost if your device needs to be reset), then use iTunes to sync them to the other devices.

Install OPlayer HD and enable the QuickTime plugin to play your movies.

I have been trying to update apps on my iPad to no luck. I continually get a blank screen. I can, however, still use the other App Store sites. This has been going on for at least a week.

I have been trying to update apps on my iPad for the last week. I get a blank screen under updates. However the other App Store functions work. Not sure how to fix this. iPad updates are up to date.

The update server is down; try this temporary workaround
App Store>Purchased>Select "All"
Note: Look out for apps that have the word "Update"

After logging on you yahoo this am, my calendar and notepad are gone. When I click on them I just get a blank screen. I am not very computer literate and need help getting them back.

When I usually go into yahoo mail, there is an icon at the top left hand side to access my calendar and notepad. They are both gone, but there is a field in the bottom left corner that has the buttons. When I click on either one, I just get a blank screen. I've not updated by Firefox to a new version and can't imagine what happened overnight.

This sounds more like it's a temporary problem with Yahoo's mail website. My advice at this point is to see if this fixes itself within a few hours. If not, please come back (actually, do come back regardless and let us know if your problem is solved).

Try rebooting the ipad by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reboot.

To see pay method I tap on View Apple ID but get a blank screen. Why? iOS 8 iPad

I Tap on Settings, iTunes and Apps store, tap on my Apple ID to show View my Apple ID. I tap on View my Apple ID to bring up payment method but get a blank screen. How can I correct problem? I have turned iPad off and on With no improvement.

Not sure what would cause that. You could try a simple reset to see if that would help (hold the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release). If that doesn't work, you can always review and update your payment information from your other device. If your computer is signed into your account you can also do it from there (see iCloud: View or change your iCloud payment information).
