I am new to iTunes. I have downloaded the player onto my PC. I bought a documentary, but it will not play. On the player the screen is just black (also no sound), but the timer works and shows that something is happening. Any suggestions?

Hi there Graham!


I have a couple of articles that can help you troubleshoot this issue. First, if you are downloading HD content, you will need to know the system requirements for HD playback, which can be found here:


iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos

Next, you will want to check your video playback settings on your Windows machine. The steps for that can be found right here:


Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues

Hope that helps. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!


Cheers,

Braden
