Ipad screen turned black

I was using Youtube through Safari. I clicked a video and made it full screen and then the screen turned black. It didn't show me the usual appearance of a video in Youtube.(the pause button, the progress of the video,etc) Although the games and the apps still work. I tried closing it first then opening it again. when i went back it still shows a black screen with the word Ipad and the time. Does anybody have ideas on how to put it back to its normal self? Please HELP!!!!

I think i have a good solution to this for you guys..all of the hard reset and other magic tricks dont work for me and I dread doing the restore from itunes, so i sat and think and then solved it. so simple.


Try using the universal search and type in the name for any video title in your library on the IPAD. Go play that file. FYI, The universal search is found when you swipe leftwards on the homescreen and finally come to the text box.


Cheers..

Excellent suggestion. I downloaded a movie to the ipad, but when I launched the Video App I just got a blank screen. Tried turning on and off and also re-setting by pressing the Home & On/Off button without success.


The trick is to use universal search ... and type in a video title. Hey presto the video appeared etc ... Great tip thanks very much.


Cheers ...
