When ever i go to watch videos on youtube or any other apps, the screen goes black. you can hear the video but you cant see anything. how do i fix this?

i have an ipod tough 3g and its like about 4 to 5 years old it works perfectly fine except the home button is abit messed up and the ipod sometimes crashes. but other than that everything is fine. so i was watching something on an app and then al of a sudden i dont see the video i can just hear it. i then think its just the app but when i go on youtube the same exact thing happens. you click to watch a video and you can hear it perfectly but you cant see anything. the screen is just black when u ONLY watch a video. this happened last night so yea.i really hope somebody can help me figure out how to fix this and whats wrongwith it:)
thanks for your time and help!

When it goes black do a very short press of the button on the right upper side of the phone and the screen will reappear. Make it a very short quick press.
OTOH, if you are using the speaker so you can watch the screen as you are talking when it goes dim touch the screen anywhere that it is blank and it will again go bright. On long calls you have to repeat this.
Many folks have had the same problem you described and what I have told you is the best and ONLY way around the screen going blank during a call.

When I call a iPhone or iPad user on my iMac using FaceTime, the person being call can hear the ring but cannot connect. Does anyone have any trouble shooting advise???

Need help in determing why a person receiving a FaceTime call from me cannot connect? The person receiving a call from me says that they hear my call coming in but when they try to connect nothing happens. If anyone has any trouble shooting advise or why the call receiver cannot connect let me know ASAP. I also have a MacBook Pro with the same FaceTime problem. Help! Help!

Its too bad that your phone is out of warranty because this is most likely a manufacturer fault. You need to take it back to Apple. If it is not a manufacturing fault, then go to any shop that your network owns and talk to them about this problem.

try a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

My iphone 4 does not register calls made to it. if i make a call from another phone, i can hear it ringing, but it does not register on the iphone. also, i do not get any messages when this happens. then after a day or two it decides to start working.

My iPhone screen went black. Is there anything I can do to make operational?

Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

TS3367 I am currently in South Africa and have tried to FaceTime my family using my ipad to their ipad, however when I make the call, I can hear the ringing but after a while it says the other party is not available, but she is

I am current in Sotheby's Africa and trying to FaceTime my daughter who also has the same ipad as me. My son in law also has the ipad. Despite using my daughters email, I cannot get through to her or my son in law. When I hit FaceTime I can hear the ringing tone, but after a while it comes up saying my daughter is not available, but she is sat by her ipad in the UK. I have checked everything is working so what can I do now to get through to her, especially for Xmas day.

My clips keep going black- I can hear the video but not see the clip. New user for Elements 8 Premi

I am making a movie and now
the clips are all black but i can hear the video. Using the timeline, I was able to move frames up to video one. Where should they all be? In the sceneline when I try to delet the black frames it just moves the black further along the line.
Thanks

Rendering the Timeline will basically write an AVI file, that will be used for the best possible playback of that Timeline.
With much material, the Video is in GOP (Group of Pictures) format, and for frame-accurate editing, one needs full I-frame format. This ARTICLE will give some background.
When editing GOP structure material, one can Cut within the GOP structure, and then there is no I-frame to reference, so the "difference" frames do not have all of the necessary info. Usually, the program will internally convert to I-frame for editing, but there are times that this does not work perfectly, so Rendering will essentially do that conversion for you.
In some cases, Rendering is not really necessary, and I do many Projects (mostly DV-AVI material), where I never Render. Other times, I might well Render a particular area dozens of times, to see the best display in playback.
Good luck,
Hunt

HT4437 I am watching a movie on my iPad in vudu, I have turned the AirPlay on the apple tv and I can hear the movie but cannot see the movie

I have started watching a movie on my iPad (last gen) on vudu , and started the AirPlay and I can hear it but am not seeing the movie. Where do I go to see it or what am I not doing?

That is normal. Not all apps are enabled for airplay, this is up to the developer to do.

HT3406 After the steps suggested, does it mean i can "remove" the SIM card and use my iphone via WIFI? i can browse the internet but cannot make phone calls right?

Is the wifi card a build in in ipod/ipad? yet build in on SIM card in iphone?

But on WiFi, could I still use Skype to make a phone call? I have a camera adapter for the iPhone 4 and would just use it as a camera and to play music after I upgrade to a later versionof iPhone. Am I correct in assuming that I could still do everything except connect through 3G?

I'm running 10.6.8. I just bought an iphone 5. Trying to update to mountain lion, but cannot. Help, I'm running 10.6.8. I just bought an iphone 5. Trying to update to mountain lion, but cannot. Help

Do I have to download lion before I can download mountain lion?

No...
See Here for Upgrading to ML...
First check the Compatibility of your Mac...
Upgrade to Mountain Lion
Then... Before attempting any Major Upgrade... get yourself an External Hard Drive... and create a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive...
By far the easiest way to make such a Backup, is to use something like
SuperDuper http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
or CCC http://www.bombich.com/
That way, should anything untoward happen during the Upgrade,
you will NOT LOSE ANYTHING.
(Get an EHD that is at least equal to your current Drive...)
Also, Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...

The screen is black . i can.t get it to respond.Power + home soft reset didnt work. Itunes could detect any sync apps. I used my home phone to call my iphone and on my home phone i can hear the calling tone.But my iphone didn't ring/screen did not light up. Its a iphone 4. Any ideas how to fix this?

If the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

You can try removing and re-syncing your apps from itunes, or try downloading any free application from the app store.
The latter usually fixes it for me
