White Screen When Trying to Play Movies / TV Shows Downloaded via AppleTV

Very frustrating, consistent issue with downloading movies or TV shows via AppleTV. Almost always results in a blank white screen with no sound and no video playing. No matter how many times I stop the video from playing, exit back out to the main menu, and restart the show, the white screen persists. The only thing that seems to fix it is to manually unplug the AppleTV, wait for 10+ sec, and then replug it in. Once AppleTV restarts, then I am able to watch the specific show I had been trying to watch. HOWEVER, the problem resurfaces as soon as I move onto the next movie or TV show.
Any suggestions on how to end this uber-annoying cycle?? I have all of the latest software downloaded. I have disconnected my iTunes library from AppleTV and then re-paired / re-synced the two (iTunes and AppleTV), and I have even tried resetting my AppleTV to factory settings (although given the volume of content I like to keep on my AppleTV, this leads to incredibly long timeframes to re-sync my AppleTV with my iTunes library). Any thoughts / suggestions / miracles would be hugely appreciated. THANKS!!!

Hi
Can't help you I am afraid, but I can tell you that you are not alone. Keep having exactly the same problem. Rented a Movie this evening and had to pull the plug half way through the download to be able to start and watch it.
I do have the Apple TV connected through a HDMI switch and wondered if it may be copy protection HDCP or something so was going to try it on component when I find my set of cables.
Will let you know the outcome

Quicktime Pro exports white screen when trying to export to iPod or DV

I'm recording video on a "Flip" video camcorder which plays back great in Quicktime but when I try to convert the files to either DV so I can edit them in iMovie, or convert them so I can watch them on my iPod, I end up with sound but no picture, just a white screen. I've tried some other QT video from other sources and have the same results so I'm guessing that it is not the camera. I thought it might be my settings to I tried other "Export To" settings but I always end up with a white screen. Any suggestions?
Thank you!

White Screen when trying to setup Wifi on TX

Hi - I can't get to the wifi setup screen on my TX. As soon as I click enable radio, I get a white screen. I have tried a hard reset, and have also checked the router settings. I am able to connect wirelessly with other devices. I am not sure of what else to try - any thoughts?
Post relates to: Palm Pilot

Thank you! It worked for me as well. If I press down and hold on the back towards the left of the reset button, the white screen goes away. I was able to setup the connection.
The white screen comes back from time to time, and when I press on the back, the screen freezes sometimes too. It is very "unstable". Thank you for the tip though!

I get a white screen when trying to reinstall snow leopard

I am trying to install snow leopard over os x mavericks when i put the disc in it tells me to restart the computer, when it boots up the screen goes white and stays that way the only way I can get out of this is to push and hold the power button and when it reboots hold the eject button on the keyboard to eject the disc or it goes back to white screen, how can I get the reinstall to work ? the system is a iMac 27" mid 2010 3.2 ghz 4gb ram 1 tb hd I bought this used and thought I could get a clean install by updating to os x mavericks when it didn't I got the snow leopard disc to try and put the original software back on

Random white screen when trying to run applet (Please help)

We have been plagued by this problem for months. We are running a Java applet (that we wrote) requiring JRE 1.3.0_01, where the html file has been created with html converter. RANDOMLY, when loading the applet, the applet will come up (we spawn a new browser window for it) and we will get a blank white screen, AND netscape will freeze, needing to be terminated. Saying program is not responding when you click the X.
This is not a multithreaded program.
I have also tried the new JRE 1.4 with the same problems.
The strange thing is, we have found some workarounds.... if you tell your plugin to show the java console all the time, it takes care of majority of the crashes, but the applet STILL does the same thing every once in awhile. If someone can tell me what the problem is here I will be eternally grateful!!
Steve

I had the same problem at one time during the development of my applets. Without more details from you, there is no way to know the exact cause but I can give you some ideas:
1) painting problems
2) null pointer problems
3) improper setup of the HTML file (this was the culprit for us...double check EVERYTHING)

Gray Screen when trying to Play Videos

I can play my music fine but when I go to play a movie I get a gray screen. It locks up and I can't go back to the menu. I have to reset the ipod. The movies play fine when I am in ITunes and my library. I have tried downloading new software. Any suguestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

i have the same problem...
to add more to the story...
ive had about 20+ videos in my ipod for over a year, most of which were downloaded from itunes...
havent really used them except while flying, or the rare chance that im not driving on a trip. but while recently trying to play a video, ive noticed the same thing. its a blackish/dark grey screen, that shows the video wants to play...it shows the progress bar, saying its playing one second, then 2 seconds and then it freezes. the ipod is the current version and have reset it and my computer many times. im just about to restore the ipod hoping that solves it. but still have no other ideas as what to do...

Getting a White Screen when trying to view ITune Purchases

Hi. I am using HDMI cables and when I go to watch anything I purchased on ITunes I get a solid white screen. I can view anything on YouTube just fine and could just look at movie trailers. Now I am getting a message telling me that the ITunes store is unavailable. But it is working just fine on my computer. I switched cables and am still having the same problem.
I'm at a loss. Any suggestions?

Hi,
While not an explanation of what is happening, I have had success restarting the device when this happens to me.

Black Screen When Trying To Play Videos

Hi,
Until recently I have been able to play movies on my iPod touch but after I restored it, I got a black screen whenever I open the video file. It is the proper format as iTunes accepts it and syncs it to the device. If I touch the play button, it shows the pause button for about a second and stops again. I have restored several times but I still get the same problem. I'm using iOS 4.3.3 and a 4th Gen iPod touch. Here are a couple of screenshots:
If I move the top slider to any time in the movie, it shows that scene as an image on the screen but will never play. Any suggestions?

Green Screen when trying to play videos in iTunes.

Not sure how do describe my issue. But lately when playing videos though iTunes, they play fine for about 30 seconds and then the screen goes solid green ( http://tinyurl.com/loa5a ), but the sound continues. I've tried multiple videos from episodes of Lost that I've downloaded from the iTunes store to music videos, to video podcasts. None of them are immune to the dreaded green screen. Is this a known issue or something maybe unique to my system?

Anyone have any ideas or need more info, if so please let me know. This is very frustrating.

Black Screen when trying to play iTunes Movies PLEASE HELP

This is my set up. I have an iMac running OS X (10.5) and a mac mini running (10.6) this mac mini is hooked up to my tv in the living room, it also is fitted with an external hard drive (this is where my itunes media folder is located for my mac mini). I enabled home sharing on both macs and they are both authorized to play my media. I recently downloaded two movies on my iMac and transferred them to my mac mini. Now here is the problem. I can play the movies fine on my iMac but when i try to play them on my mac mini all i get is a black screen with no sound. The movie is playing on the mac mini because i see the time bar moving but nothing is on the screen.
Please help.
