Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Does this happen with all videos?
Do purchased songs play fine on your iPod?
Does the sample video here (for the iPod) work?
Quicktime: Sample Files
Is the software on your computer and iPod up to date?

  • How come when i click on an app on my ipod the screen just stays black?

    how come when i click on an app on my ipod the screen just stays black?

    It can happen from time to time, especially with third-party apps, though shouldn't happen too often with the ones created by Apple, such as Safari. Turning your iPod completely off and then on again can sometimes help.

  • I just Replaced the screen in a iphone 4s for bluegrass cellular but now the screen just shows black?

    so i have a white iphone 4s i put a new screen in it but now the backlight comes on but its just a black screen any ideas what happened?

    Why in the world would you even attempt that? You could have had the entire phone replaced for $199 and maintained the balance of the warranty? Now, your only option is to pay full price for a new one.

  • Why is it when using my iPhone 4s front camera, the screen sometimes turn black or have blue stripes on it? What's wrong with it and what should I do?

    When using my iPhone 4s front camera, the screen sometimes become black or have blue stripes on it! Is this a hardware or software problem? Can this issue be covered by my warranty? I bought it inmid-december last year, and this problem came at around Late January. It's a rare case, only came about 5 times, but this really concerns me. What's wrong with it? Thank you so much for your concern.

    thank you for your reply
    I brought it to the store and they agreed to give me an exchange. thank goodness!
    I have a new question: I've now transferred my back up datas to my new iphone. They wanted me to register, so I registered (as my old apple ID) and then they asked if I want to restore backup, I did that too. after the restore back up process, the only things that aren't there were my music and apps! what should I do to get them into my new iPhone?

    Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.

  • When selecting the camera on 3gs the screen just goes black i can still take a photo using the top volume button but not with the screen please help

    hello there
    when selecting the camera on my 3gs the screen goes black and has no responce i can take a picture with the top volume button but cannot see it until i open photos
    please can anyone help
    thankyou andy

    Try closing the Camera app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Camera 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 Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset (unless this is what you mean by powering off and restarting) : 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.

  • TS1383 I charged my Ipod touch (forth generation) over night and now it won't turn back on.. like the screen just stays black.

    I was at a friends house and I used her Ipod dock to charge my ipod before we left to go to her grandmas, before we left I checked it to see if it was charging and it was. So we left for a few hours and we came home and it was charged. Later on that night, before we went to bed I put my ipod on the SAME charger I used earlier that day. I woke up in the morning and tried turning it on and the screen stayed black so I paniced and put it on the charger some more and notcied the screen stayed black. We looked up what to do on the internet and it seems a lot of people were having this problem as well. Some of the people said to hold the home and power button at the same time and the apple sigh will appear and your ipod will be good again.. we tried that and nothing same black screen. I have no idea what to do with it and if it can be fixable.

  • When I try to open I Photos the screens just keeps minimizing back to the bottom of the screen

    I have a Mac Book which is 3 mos old. When I try to open I Photos I have to keep clicking on the tab before the I Photos screen actually opens. It does not open to the full screen and when I click on faces or events the app closes out. The three buttons at the top don't highlight so I can enlarge the screen or minimize the screen. The screen only opens to half a page. This never happened before.

  • When typing, my letters go all over the screen, just happens with Firefox.

    After installing Firefox, when I type, the letters go all over the screen, instead of where I try to type them. I used to type without looking at the screen. Now I have to watch... my cursor disappears, and the letters I'm typing go into something I've previously typed correctly.
    == When I installed Firefox, and it happens constantly.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

  • My iPhone 5 won't turn on, the screen just stays black!

    My iPhone 5 won't turn on I have held the power button to see if it's dead or not and it doesn't seem to change the screen it just black I thought the battery could of died or something similar it only happened about 2 hours ago please help!

    Hey Thermali,
    Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. To completely isolate the issue, you may want to follow these steps:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    - Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    - Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
    Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    - Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    - After at least 15 minutes, if:
                   - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
                   - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
                   - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    - If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
                   - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
                   - If the display remains black, go to next step.
    - Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
    restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    - If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

  • HT1349 there is power, but the screen just went black

    i have a mac pro that has power, but the screen went black. has anyone else had this problem?

    Hello Gail,
    It sounds like you can hear your Mac start up, but you do not see anything on the screen.  I definitely understand your concern with this.
    I found an article with steps to troubleshoot issues with displays.  This article is for internal and external displays.  I wasn't sure if you were using a Mac Pro or MacBook Pro from your post.  If you are using a Mac Pro, follow the steps for external displays, but if you're using a MacBook Pro, follow the steps for internal displays.  I recommend reviewing the full article, but this step specifically stands out to me for the issue you described:
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
