Opening iTunes TV show only presents a blank black screen

I had this problem when I downloaded Boardwalk Empire Season 2 in HD. According to an article:
iTunes for Windows: Unable to view or play HD video content that requires HDCP
Your equipment must be HDCP compatible.
I found with my NVIDIA NVS 5200m video card, I reloaded the latest driver and now it seems to work fine.
Just thought I'd throw this out o help the few others I see have the same issue.

For the Quicktime issue try:
[Perian codecs for Quicktime|http://www.perian.org] - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats
[Quicktime audio problems, Perian, VLC|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9013669] - read note about uninstalling prior DIVX support before installing Perian.
I'm not sure if this works with iTunes. I don't use itunes to watch video, I use [VLC media player|http://www.videolan.org/vlc> - general media player that plays just about anything.

  • Iphoto.  When I play an album "slideshow" some photos show up as a blank/black screen.  Please help if you know what I am doing wrong.

    Iphoto Question
    When I playing a "slideshow" album, a few photos show up as a blank screen.  Also, when I select a photo in an album to make it full screen - some photos won't "hold" - they go full screen for about a second, then the screen goes blank.  Any ideas about what I am doing wrong?  Thank you.

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help: As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Some video files only display a blank black screen but plays audio

    I am having a problem playing some of my videos in iTunes. After an update, some of my video files play and others do not. They are all in mpeg-4 video format so I don't know that is the difference except the videos that are not playing are larger files and different sizes than the ones playing. The shorter videos play fine and are 480x320 H.264 Codec but the larger files are 640x352, MPEG-4 Codec. Any ideas? My quicktime is up to date and I'm using iTunes 9.1 (79). Before updates I was able to view the videos without a problem and I cannot remember exactly which update caused the problem but I always update...so it is probably the last update.
    I tried playing the video files in quicktime but now it says that quicktime maybe needs another component to play this video. It is strange because before updating I could watch the videos without a problem. Any ideas as to what has happened?

  • When i connect my iphone to my laptop and open itunes it shows my iphone has nothing on it(no music, no movies, etc...) then when i try to sync it says iphone is is full and can only put in a selected amount of songs

    when i connect my iphone to my laptop and open itunes it shows my iphone has nothing on it(no music, no movies, etc...) then when i try to sync it says iphone is is full and can only put in a selected amount of songs. Take in mind this is my first time to sync with this laptop(HP 15 ENVY) and as well my laptop is just brand new. just got it a week ago. so how do i fix this prob. and also when i open my itunes store and then view my account it says error occurred either debug it through Microsoft visual studio or close program. I tired copying all the .dll files to the itunes folder didn't help

    I cannot address the sync services error right now, but the error that you receive when you change from sync to manually manage music is what happens when you change. Once you change to manually manage music, it erases all of the music and will only put the music that you want on the phone, content that you manually drag over to it. See if this support document helps you out. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535

  • When i try to open itunes its showing error 7 code 193

    when i try to open itunes its showing error 7 code 193. it wont let me open it at all. i dont want to lose my music. i did the repair option already and it did not work.

    That article has been withdrawn.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
    which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
    Or roll back to the previous build:
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

    hey i have an ipod touch 5gen ,it has stopped responding and is showing a blank black screen.when ever i connect it to itunes it gives a sound of the connection. what am i suppose to do?(ios7)

    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.

  • TS3297 When I go to the iTunes store, all I get is a black screen. No error message, just won't open. I have tried going to iTunes on another device and it works fine.  Help!

    When I go to the iTunes store, it won't open.  I don't receive an error message of any kind, just a blank black screen.  I have tried to access the store on other devices in my home and it works.  All my music shows up in my library, but nothing will show up when I go to the actual store.  I have updated my software and made sure the date/time are correct.  Everything else seems to be working fine on my computer.  Not sure what is going on, but would really appreciate any help you can give. Thanks!

    I'm expreriencing the same conditions with the same environment.  Windows 8, iTunes-64 11.1.2.32, iTunes Store with a processing bar up to 80 +/- and the POPUP MESSAGE OF "iTunes stopped working. The error ...."
    I UNINSTALLED, iTUNES WITH NO POSITIVE RESULT.  I CHECKED THE FIREWALL AND IS THE SAME DEFINITION AS THE PREVIOUS ITUNES VERSION.
    My iTunes StoreS from my iPhones ARE OK.
    I'm spending a lot of time of research for WINDOW'S iTUNE with no solutions....

  • Fullscreen Mode shows blank black screen..

    Hi,
    I am panorama photographer and usually show my panos on FPP (Flash panorama player). 
    I want to show .flv movie on inside the panorama but there were some problems with fullscreen
    mode. -> When I click on the panorama fullscreen button, the flash movie turns fullscreen
    instead of the panorama.
    My workaround is laying an iframe (in which the flash movie is inserted) on the <div> layer.
    At first it seemed to be working OK but the problem is that once I click on the "movie" button,
    the panorama's fullscreen mode just show black blank screen. 
    -> "Movie" Button
    You can check my pano at: 
    http://www.panosis.com/biz/ubertree/movie_test/openvr.html
    Try  to see the panorama in fullscreen mode before watching the movie, it will work fine.
    But turning the panorama in fullscreen mode after watching the movie shows just
    blank black screen and I guess this might have something to do with HTML layer
    or iframe?
    Does anybody have a clue what the problem is?
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi Luckey,
    One option that I do want to try, is booting the computer into safe mode. I have included the steps here for you to follow: (steps obtained from 'Windows 7 Safe Mode')
    Entering Safe Mode at start up
    Use the following steps to start Windows 7 in Safe Mode when the computer is off:
        1)Turn on the computer and immediately begin pressing the F8 key repeatedly.
        2)From the Windows Advanced Options Menu, use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode, and press  ENTER.
    ** The computer will automatically exit Safe Mode when it is shut down. **
    Once you are able to access safe mode. Try to access your Device Manager. I have included the document 'How Do I Access Device Manager in Windows?'. Please click on your operating system, and open Device Manager. Once the Device Manager window is open, please follow these steps.
    1) Click the plus sign beside keyboard
    2) Right click on the device in this section
    3) Click uninstall
    4) Click the plus sign beside Mice and other pointing devices
    5) Right click on the device in this section
    6) Click uninstall
    Once these steps have been completed, please shut down the computer completely and restart. Please let me know if you are able to fully use the keyboard and mouse after. Thank you.

  • I updated to iTunes 11 on my Windows PC. Since the update, when I open iTunes its window is too large for my screen. Resizing is a pain, because I have to change my screen resolution. And when I restart iTunes,it has reverted back to being too large.Help!

    I recently updated to iTunes 11 on my Windows PC. Since the update, each time I open iTunes its window is too large for my screen. Resizing it is a pain, because I have to change my screen resolution. And then when I restart iTunes, it has reverted back to being too large. Please help!

    Having the same issue here....a quick fix is to just minimize the window, and immediately maximize it.  It will now fit the screen.  Trouble is, after you close it, you'll have to do it again when you re-start itunes.  The good news is it takes all of about 2 seconds.  Apple should fix this.  Should.
