Video black screen on iPad simple solution

I clicked on my video to play and suddenly had a black screen. I searched forums and did the reset as instructed and the search for your videos and all that stuff but the same problem occurred over and over again. After the third time, I figured it's a program issue since everything else was working. I downloaded a video player for free. Not only did I solve my problem, now I can put videos in my iPad without converting them since it can play several formats. I posted this so other people experiencing or about to experience the same problem won't go to the hassle that I went through. Plus when you add videos on your IPad, you don't have to waste your time converting them. I got flex player but I think there are other programs that play different formats, too.

Yeah. The ipad only can play certain formats. Usually just the most popular used. You would have to convert them if they are a different format to play under VIDEOS. The formats are in the TECH SPECS when you select the ipad on the support page. Or you can download an app(like what you did) easier way.

Is there a way to fix the white or black screen on Ipad 4th Gen?

Ive tried to reset it and restore to factory settings but this does not work. The screen was white until I restored to factory settings and now it's black when it starts up. Ive also let it die and tried to charge and power it on again but no go. It's an Ipad Black 32GB 4th Gen. I will post a link to one of the pictures I had of it below. I am wondering if I have to pay how much it'll be to fix. It was working great until about a week ago when it randomly happened. It was purchased in February of 2013.

Try this - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Audio No Video, Black Screen

Hey, I have some videos on my Ipod that I converted with Videora..
My Ipod plays the audio, but no video, the screen is black, and I DID check the tv out in the video settings.
I've read other posts like this, and nothing said there helps.
If anyone has any answers or suggestions please write back

I was having problems when I opened previous emails with WMV attached. No attachment was in the email body, except an audio file, no video. These emails were all fine until I upgraded to 7.5.5 two days ago. They would also transfer /open fine on my other Macs that weren't upgraded, when forwarded.
After much conversation with Apple, I did an OS re-install (not clean install) with archives and the problems are no longer there. ie NO 7.5.5 now and NO ISSUES!
Cheers

Black screen on ipad

I have a first series ipad that was working fine earlier today. Placed on charger and went back to find the ipad blank with a black screen. Tried resetting, turning power on and off, hard reset and even restored on my mac. The mac picks the ipad up and syncs no problem. No idea what to try now. Booked an appointment with genius bar but would love any advice in th meantme. The ipad is updated with current IOS.

I just wanted to update you on what happened with my iPad 1. I took the iPad to a local authorized dealer thinking that my iPad was out of warranty. They told me they don't really fix the original iPad any more but to do it would cost $250. For that price I would put it towards a new iPad. I then called apple and asked them for advise. They also thought there was a problem with the backlight. When your son dropped your iPad he may have damaged or dislodged the backlight. Everything works on the iPad but you can't see anything. There are places online where you can send your iPad but for the cost I would just get a new one. The initial fee to jus look at it is $75-100. Fortunately for me I was still under my extended warranty and was able to have mine replaced. This is one time I was very happy to have spent the extra mo eh on the extended warranty plan. Good luck.

[vlc] random video black screen on h264 files

since vlc-2.2.0-1 package version I notice a weird bug on playback with h264 videos files :
- sometimes the screen is black in the GUI of vlc when I open h264 video file, but when I seek/move inside the file the bug is gone, no black screen
- the gamma setting doesn't work, no effect
it's a random bug, but it's easy to trigger the bug,
if I downgrade to vlc-2.1.5-5 then there is no bug,
I use archlinux 64 bits, radeon driver ( ati radeon HD4650 PCie )

do any of you can help in this?
First of all, AVI is a file container—not a compression format. Since you indicate, the file opens/plays in VLC, your first step is to determine the video codec that is giving you problems. Do this by opening the file in VLC and checking the media information and expanding the video stream. If the codec component is one commonly available for use on the Mac, then you can install it for use by QT. If not, you can try transcoding the video using VLC itself. If this fails, i.e., the output is visible but plays as though the frames had been re-ordered, as a last resort I would try transcoding the file using HandBrake.

Black screen on iPad only showing a image of a charging lead and iTunes logo

I have recently upgraded the software on my iPad second generation and now it's totally unresponsive . There is a black screen showing a lead needing to be connected to iTunes. I have tried a reset but nothing and it won't switch off or on. Any suggestions please?

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
3. Repeat the process if necessary.

Facebook video black screen since IOS6 update

Since I did an IOS6 update this afternoon, the videos on facebook are coming up as black screens only. When this happened previously, enabling secure browing in facebook did the trick. This time, that isn't working ..
Ideas?

Restore it as new.

Have you tried a Reset...

Macbook pro continuously black screening and rebooting-any solutions?

Ever since upgrading OS to Mountain Lion there have been numerous times when waking the Macbook, it goes to black screen and reboots. Several times it has rebooted then immediately shut down and rebooted again. I am also running Paralles 9 which I needed to install after upgrading to the OS 6 operating system. Has anyone else had this problem and is there an easy fix?

You might try this:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Ok my ipad i think its not working because cant get on just stay black screen i need a solution

this ipad just stay off i dont know if this ipad is death help me

I had the same problem after I gave my old iPad to my parents and tried to install Netflix. This is what you have to do: Open iTunes on your computer, the one you sync your iPad to. Then go to iTunes Store and search for and download Netflix app. After you download it, if your iPad is set to download new purchases it may start downloading on your iPad. If so, tap and hold to delete the app (because it is trying to install the new version on the iPad) Next step, go to the App Store on your iPad and find Netflix and it should say install since you already purchased it on the computer. Tap to install, and it will say the version is not compatible, tap to download a previous version. Click that and it will install the older version! One more thing, if and when you sync to your computer again it will say something like " Unable to install Netflix on your iPad" Just click the box to never remind you again, because it's trying to sync the newer Netflix app to your iPad, but it doesn't work so it displays the message. The old app will remain on the ipad. Hope this helps, good luck

Black screen on ipad 2 - slight color semicircles around the edges

The screen is black but you can see a difference between the on/off thing. I have tried hitting it several times (though possibly too lightly I'm not sure I just don't want to hurt it more than necessary). I dropped it this morning onto a hard wood floor. It probably fell 2 and a half feet. I wasn't watching so I don't know what side it fell on. I can still work the ipad without seeing for the most part - I was able to turn the screen brightness up all the way and turn on my music and switch songs. I can see tiny semicircles of pale red and yellow on the edges of the screen. I'm not sure what to do. Help D:

Some iPad users have been able to revive their dropped iPad. Turn the iPad over and give it a HARD SLAP on the back. May take several slaps.
