Help: cylinder sides come up black rather than textured (the rest of the mesh is fine and textures correctly):

The normals are pointing out so what is the problem, how do I get it to accept the texture?

2

Try to use Ctrl-A keys?!

3

Ctrl-A keys? That does NOT HELP AT ALL. Tell me what the bug is and what will fix it.
WHY are the surfaces black WHY??

4

“apply scale and rotation” does not make this accept a texture…

5

Select the “bad” faces, press W key and choose “flip normals” in the popup menu?!

Try this: Check the Editing panels (F9), Mesh tab. If there is a Vertex Color layer present, click the X to remove it.
