MP4 videos going black when skipping foward.

Essentially when I play the video it works fine, but if I click forward on the video it turns black. The audio still plays but there's no video. Also, if I click back to the start the video it's still black. The only way to fix it is to start another video then going back to the video with the problem. This only happens on 2 videos, I'm wondering if the files are corrupt, or if there is a way to fix it.

What do you mean by saying the screen is going black?
Do you mean the whole monitor or just the Viewer in FCP X?
Try these general troubleshooting strategies even if you've already done them.
Use this free app to trash the preferences. This should be the first thing you try when any problems occur.

2. Open Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3. Trash FCP X using this free app and reinstall it.

If these 3 measures don't work, create a new User Account (Admin) in System Preferences and try running FCP X from that as it sometimes works miracles.

Motion Menu Goes Black When Button Is Added

Sorry for the double-post - I accidentally posted in the PP column first go round.
I'm creating a Blu-ray in Encore CS5.5. I built a short (1:30) video to loop as a motion background for the main menu. I import the video and audio as assets, and attach them to the menu (they're encoded as Blu-ray H.264s, but I've also tried a Pro-Res 422 master file).. When I preview the menu at this point, both the video and audio play fine. The minute I add a button however, the video goes black (audio still plays fine, and button is visible). Ultimately, I'm trying to create an original button (not a generic one included), but it happens with either button.
Note - the menu video fades out to black, and in from black, so the first frame/loop point is black. When I reset the loop point to somewhere in the middle, whatever frame it lands on becomes a STILL IMAGE in the background while the menu plays. The music still plays fine and the button is still visible. Also an FYI: The highlight layer is not a full-frame graphic - just a line to "underline" the word "Play" when the button is selected.
I've searched all over the internet and while it appears to be a common problem - I haven't found a solution that's worked yet. Here's what I've tried so far:
Thrown up a generic button (included with Enc).
Dynamically linked menu to PS.
Deleted generic button "group" and created new button group.
Deleted *locked* background layer & created new, unlocked background layer.
Opened After Effects and minimized it in bg.
Emptied cache in Encore.
Reset loop point to :10:00, then reset it back to 00:00.
Cold-booted entire computer.
Used a Encore library menu & attached the assets to that background.
Anybody have ANY ideas???
Thanks!

N95 screen goes black when in between open and clo...

Just noticed today that the screen goes black when sliding open or closed. Screen comes back on when slider reaches open or closed. Is this like the blank screen fault that affected so many N80s ? I'm very disgusted that I have to pay to fix my 16month old (expensive) N95 for an ongoing issue with Nokia sliders that they HAVE NOT fixed in their design. Very poor support Nokia.

Scott your grieviences are justified... but there is always a solution to a problem...even if this is a strange problem to be handled in an off the routine way, be it so... once again best of luck! not blame nokia for anything...nokia rules as always and nokia's productions have become very slow now :-( i wish they could make trendy phones like sony, sleek and stylish with new features.in some ways, nokia gets a little boring with no new features.. i dont feel any differnce between the nokia n95 8gb, n96 and n85(which i currently own)!
Scott lets hope for the best :-)

Screen goes black when coming out of screen saver. HP Pavilion,p7-1414 desktop, windows 8

the monitor shows the windows 8 screen with the apps, then the screen saver will come on. Then when I try to bring it out of the screen saver mode the screen goes black and nothing I do will get it to go back to the windows 8 screen. Then the mouse pointer will disappear. So I end up having to shut down the computer using the power button. If I have the screen set up for the old style windows 7 and it goes into the screen saver and I bring it back there's no problem.

Hello fleamarketlady,
Your computer goes black when it comes out of sleep mode some times.
Make sure that you are only using one cable to connect the monitor to the computer.
Open up command prompt and run the following command SFC /scannow.
This will scan the system files and correct any errors that it can.
Here is a link to command prompt.
When you go to open command prompt, right click and run as administrator.
If you are still having the problem you can perform a system refresh.
This will uninstall windows 8 and reinstall it without affecting your personal information.
Here is a link that will walk you through the steps for a refresh.
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

I just set up my Apple TV. I'm able to watch netflix's for about 15 minutes then the video goes black but I still have audio.

Is it always at the 15 minute mark?
To make sure it's not a connectivity issue
What is your connection via speedtest.net?
Check istumbler or netstumbler for interference
Make sure DNS is set correctly (settings - general - network - configure DNS - automatic)

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

IPhoto going black when using the contract tool

my picture goes black when im trying to edit using the contrast tool!
what the heck.. any advise?

Do the other tools work correctly in the edit mode? Try the following: delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. If that doesn't help launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Display goes black when in a call

I have noticed an annoying feature with my Nokia N8: The display goes black when in a call (holding the phone to my ear). When the call is finished I have a difficulty to close the call. Is this a Nokia special feature for saving battery that can be turned off or is it an error?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hey Is1987Is! Sorry you are having this problem.
It is normal behaviour for your screen to go black when held near your ear.
Is your screen just not coming back on once you finish your call or take it away from your ear?
Incase it is a bit more of a serious case of your phone having a black screen after hanging up a call. You can try this troubleshoot.
To make sure your proximity sensor is not over sensitive causing your phone to have a black screen, during incoming and outgoing calls aswell as alarms.
First thing is try to verify sunlight/IR oversensitivity with a typical desk lamp.
This could be done by making a phone call (or setting alarm) and putting the phone under the desk lamp when the phone is ringing (or alarm activated).
If phone is oversensitive to IR, display should go blank caused by IR radiation from desk lamp.
If this is the case you should take your phone to your Local Nokia Care Point, and they will be able to fix it for you!
I hope this helps, let me know if your phone goes black screen during an incoming calls when you test it under the lamp!

Have a 3 yr old iMac the screen goes black when using it it will come back on when you move the mouse thanks for your help Dave

It's possible you've got a 'hot corner' set up. If you have and move the mouse to a certain corner of the screen it'll do as you describe. Have a look in System Preferences>Mission Control, bottom left of the window click on the 'Hot Corners' button and see if there is anything in there.

Preview monitor goes BLACK when I pause.

I'm using a 15" Macbook Retina with the Nvidia 650M GPU, and up until the 2014 version of CC was released I could use the CUDA acceleration. Now, I cannot use it without the video going black the second I pause. Help is appreciated.

Tyler,
Try the following:
Sign out from Creative Cloud, restart Premiere Pro, then sign in
Trash preferences
Ensure Adobe preference files are set to read/write
Delete media cache
Remove plug-ins
Repair permissions
In Sequence Settings > Video Previews, change the codec to one that matches your footage
Create a new user account with Admin privileges and launch Premiere Pro from there.
Disconnect any third party hardware
Reboot
Report back if anything here worked for you.
Thanks,

Screen goes black when hooking up to TV via mini-DVI to video adapter...

Hello,
Ever since I upgraded my PB12" to 10.5.x (now running 10.5.5, but this issue has been there since upgrading to 10.5.1), when I hook up the mini-DVI to video adapter (different adapter than for hooking up to an external display as the mini-DVI to video adapter has composite and sVideo out) to my TV, the PB screen goes black. It's set up to mirror the PB on the TV, and the PB continues to run, picture works on the TV, but I loose picture on the PB. Only way to get it back is to reboot the PB (with the mini-DVI to video adapter unplugged). So, basically, if I try and use the mini-DVI to video adapter, I loose picture on the PB. This never happened under 10.4.x — only since upgrading to 10.5.x.
Anyone have this issue? Know of a fix?
Thanks,
Kristin.

If you connect the MacBook using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo sound system if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't carry audio unless you have the Mid 2010 model 7,1 and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.
If you have the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody or Late 2009 model 6,1 White Unibody with the Mini DisplayPort rather than the Mini-DVI there is an adapter that can combine video and audio to HDMI.

Satellite L405D-11V - Freezes and screen goes black when watching video

Ok, so I have the Toshiba Satellite L405D-11V, I have had a fault, basically, the computer would freeze at any time and the screen would go black, with the fan and lights still going, this could be on start-up, or a few hours into using the laptop, so I decided to ring up Toshiba's tech support and they arranged for my laptop to be collected and sent off for repairs.
I was able to track the repairs online through the tracking service, and was able to see what they were doing to my laptop, it said that they ordered a part, it was in progress and the repairs were finished.
However, I got the laptop back today, I turn it on, everything is fine, I start using the laptop everything is fine, then I decide to watch a video on youtube, and it freezes again, so, I power off holding down the power button, hoping it was just a one off, I turn it back on, and load up the video again, it freezes and the screen goes black again, after working out that when ever I watch a video or play a game, it causes the computer to crash and freeze like before the repairs. So there is still a fault, but im not sure what to do
Its still under warranty, I purchased the laptop from Comet, but I dont really want to send the laptop off for repairs again and to find it will come back with the same fault, is it worth sending it off again, perhaps seeing if comet will replace the laptop as its still under a year of buying the laptop, or is it just gonna be worth saving all the hassle and buying a new laptop? If this fault has happened to anyone else, I could sure use some help, and if someone could shed a little light as to what might be wrong?
Thanks

Hi buddy,
Did you change something on configuration after you got your notebook back from repair? Did you update a driver or something else?
What operating system you are using on your Satellite L405D?
To be honest its really hard to say why it happens because the technicians test everything to check if your notebook runs properly.
In my opinion you should try updating the display driver. Maybe its causing the issue
If not I would recommend installing Windows from Toshiba recovery disk to restore factory settings. These settings are pretested by Toshiba and should work.
If you still have the problem you must contact the technicians again. I mean you could track the repair online and according your posting everything worked well during repair so in my opinion it shouldnt be a problem to contact the guys exactly.
Explain your problem very detailed. I think everything can be clarified then. :)

Well I got Input Remapper running because Speed Fan couldn't find my fans. Now after about 120 minutes on Perfect World I'm running between 135 and 140 F, but not shutting down.
Thanks so much for the help Stefan!
You're welcome anytime.
I'll be sure to post again if at a later point I have more problems.
Feel free to do so, I (and a whole lot of others) will be here
Though as a side note; Should i be looking into getting hardware fixed? I'm covered under Apple Care for about 3 more weeks. But last time i took it into my repair shop they told me they couldn't find any problems. : /
That is indeed the problem, if they can't find anything to fix, they won't fix.
If you can reproduce the error when in the shop (maybe disableing InputRemapper for that purpose) or if you have other problems (preferably while in OSX) it could be good to have them have a look at your Mac.
Make an appointment with the Shop Genius and go there with some free time at hand.
Take care
Stefan
