Apple Studio 17" Display colors not right after thunderstorm

Noticed this afternoon, after a thunderstorm, that my 17" Apple Studio Display was not displaying colors correctly. All windows are reversed - white background is now black and text is white. Also photos look like 35mm negatives. My blue Apple standard background is now orange. I checked the Display section in the System Preferences and did the ColorSync calibration and troubleshooting (verify and repair). None of this has any affect. Any suggestions?

Try Control-Command-Option-8
or select "Black on White" in the "Seeing" tab of "Universal Access" system preference.

After last upgrade Apple TV 3 blue dots not disappearing after podcast is watched. How do I get them to disappear like they always have?

That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

HT2810 Apple HD Cinema Display will not come back on after brief power cut.

My Apple HD cinema display won't come back after a brief power cut.
There is the little white power light on the front which pulses on three times and then extinguishes, repeatedly.
The Mac itself seems to power up although it's hard to tell if it's bboting properly, as I cannot see anything on the screen.
There is power going to both units so I have no idea what is happening.

This sounds like a very common problem. If the blinks are one short, one longer, one short..... long pause... repeat.... start searching this forum. There are also Youtube videos on solving it. If this is the problem, the solution is easy. You block both center pins on the 10 pin power connector. Its crazy but it works.

I just used a very thin strip of paper folded in half and slipped into the display's connector so it covers ONLY the two center contacts, then slip it into the power module very carefully. Make sure there is some slack in the paper as otherwise it will tear and the contact will still be made. If it doesn't work at first, try again as the paper made have torn in process. It would be better to use something stonger like a very thin strip of mylar. Or you can do what the video shows, but I didn't try that exactly.

Apple Studio 15" Display Shuts Down Computer

I have a 15" Apple Studio Display Monitor (M2454) that is connected to the port of my G4 Quicksilver.
This morning, the hard drive shut down unexpectedly, and when I pushed the power button on the front of the tower, nothing happened. I first checked the power source, and found that to be working. Then I unplugged all the peripherals, and tried the tower with a different outlet, whereupon it started immediately.
Then I returned the tower to its original location, and plugged everything in again. But once more the hard drive wouldn't respond when I pressed the power button.
So, I unplugged the peripherals one by one, and kept trying to turn on the machine. After I unplugged the USB device which recharges my ipod Nano, the computer finally rebooted. But then when my desktop came up, I found that my cursor was frozen. My USB keyboard was plugged into one of the two ports on the back of the monitor, and my mouse was plugged into the right-hand USB port on the keyboard. So I plugged the keyboard's USB into the monitor's other port, and rebooted the hard drive.
This time, the mouse was not frozen, but a few seconds after the desktop appeared, the hard drive shut down again without warning, and without the ipod device connected. I rebooted several more times, and the same thing happened.
I then disconnected the Apple Studio monitor, and connected an older Sony Trinitron monitor. Whereas the Apple Studio monitor derives its power from the hard drive itself, the Sony monitor can be plugged right into the wall. I then connected my keyboard to a port on the hard drive, and rebooted successfully.
So I'm wondering if anyone has any insights about what's going on here, and I'm also wondering if there's any kind of power adaptor that will allow me to power my Apple monitor from an outlet rather than from the hard drive.
And while we're at it, is there any kind of "extension cord," so to speak, for a USB device? My keyboard doesn't quite reach from the hard driveto where I would like it to be.

That's the way all Mac notebooks work and have worked for some time, regardless of the OS, if the external display is set in extended desktop mode. If set to mirror mode, the MBP should continue to run from battery.
So maybe the difference is not Snow Leopard itself but more the point that in Displays preferences mirror mode has been turned off since the SL update. Does that sound right?

Safe mode display settings not 'sticking' after restart?

Hi
I used a display setting not supported by my Mac mini and consequently had a 'out of signal' error on my monitor and restarted in safe mode, logged in and altered the settings.
When I restart the display settings do not 'stick' and I get the same error. How do I get the settings to stick? Have tried logging in as administrator and user with no joy!
Thanks Nigel

Hmm. Maybe that combination of changing resolution in Safe mode and resetting PRAM have a combined effect of some kind? Worth remembering for the future. Thanks for posting.

DVD Studio Pro 4 will not open after installing Leopard

I had trouble opening my film project in FCP studio 2 but resolved the problem by trashing the preferences. This did not help other programs like DVD studio pro which will not open at all or crashes as soon as it is open. It also gives me strange messages while it tries to open like" Media-application quit unexpectedly." Would re-installing help? I would have to begin with FCP studio pro and then update all the programs again. Is there an easier way to solve this problem? (Leopard is causing other programs to quit unexpectedly but I don't get messages that some part of the application has quit).

So far it seems the advice when going to Leopard is to due a total clean install of Leopard on a clean drive before installing the applications.

Cable Boxes Not Working After Thunderstorm

Cable boxes not rebooting. They appear to be without power. This happened right after a thunderstorm.

@jny52 - I see some troubleshooting has been attempted already and a tech visit is scheduled for tomorrow. For the issues you described, that would be the recommended fix.
@SWDescent - I did a reset and sent new signals to your box. If that does not help, then it is recommended to have a tech visit for you as well.

My iphone display is not working after apple logo. But the touch screen works fine.

My Iphone 4S Was fully submerged in water, it has not worked for weeks but i plugged it in to the charger today and it worked started up, charged fine the apple logo appeared and then it just stayed black, I managed to type my passcode in without seeing the screen and it unlocked fine. Im now restoring it with itunes and hopefully it helps.

You probably still have warranty. Just go back to your carrier and tell them that your phone suddenly stopped working and they will most likely end up giving you a new/fixed iphone.
Good Luck!

Thunderbolt display: devices not discovered after using Mini DisplayPort–to–VGA adapter

I have an interested problem related to using my MacBook Air in clamshell (closed) mode, connected to a Thunderbolt display. The problem appears to be related to moving my MacBook air between my office and my home.
At the office, I use the MacBook Air with an external VGA display, connected via the Mini DisplayPort–to–VGA adapter. At home, I use the MacBook Air together with a Thunderbolt display. An Apple USB keyboard is also connected to the display.
Mini DisplayPort–to–VGA adapter implicated
The following sequence of events causes the problem to occur:
Use the MacBook air (open) together with a VGA display, connected via a Mini DisplayPort–to–VGA adapter (depicted at right);
Put the MacBook Air to sleep by closing the lid, and disconnect the Mini DisplayPort–to–VGA adapter (I am not sure if the order of these two steps is significant—I usually perform them almost simultaneously when packing up my MacBook Air and getting ready to leave the office); and
With the MacBook Air still closed, connect it to a Thunderbolt display with a connected USB keyboard.
At this point, I would expect to be able to wake up the MacBook Air by tapping on the space bar of the keyboard. However, what I have observed is that this does not wake the MacBook Air.
I can wake the MacBook however by moving or clicking a Bluetooth mouse that is paired with the MacBook Air.
At this point, although the MacBook Air is awake, and the display is working, the USB keyboard connected to the display still does not work. This is the problem, in a nutshell.
Unplugging the USB keyboard from the display, and plugging it back in causes the MacBook Air properly to identify the keyboard.
I used Apple System Profiler to save a list of identified devices at two points in time:
Immediately after waking the MacBook Air by moving the Bluetooth mouse (at which point the USB keyboard was not working); and
After unplugging and plugging in again the USB keyboard (at which point the USB keyboard worked fine).
Many devices are enumerated in the second list that are missing from the first. For example:
Keyboard Hub@fe110000 <class IOUSBHubDevice, id 0x1000378ef, !registered, !matched, inactive, busy 3 (37993 ms), retain 6>
AppleUSBHub <class AppleUSBHub, id 0x1000378f2, !registered, !matched, inactive, busy 1 (37987 ms), retain 6>
IOUSBInterface@0 <class IOUSBInterface, id 0x1000378f4, !registered, !matched, inactive, busy 1 (37986 ms), retain 6>
Keyboard Hub@fe110000 <class IOUSBHubDevice, id 0x1000378f6, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (7 ms), retain 10>
AppleUSBHub <class AppleUSBHub, id 0x1000378f9, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (1 ms), retain 9>
IOUSBInterface@0 <class IOUSBInterface, id 0x1000378fb, !registered, !matched, active, busy 0, retain 7>
Apple Keyboard@fe112000 <class IOUSBDevice, id 0x1000378fd, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (112 ms), retain 11>
and many child devices…
Using the Mini DisplayPort–to–VGA adapter appears to be a necessary step to causing this problem to occur. If I merely disconnect the MacBook Air from the display, let it go to sleep, and then reconnect it again, the USB keyboard will work immediately and can be used to wake the computer from sleep.
Some devices are discovered even when the computer is in sleep mode. This is how it should work.
The problem appears to be that when a Mini DisplayPort–to–VGA adapter has been used since the last time the computer was connected to a Thunderbolt display, the MacBook air does not discover devices completely when it is again connected to the Thunderbolt display while in sleep mode.
Can anyone else reproduce this problem?

Hi glraczon.support,
It sounds like the external display you are using (projector) operates at a smaller resolution than your MacBook Pro. You may want to configure the display preferences in System Preferences for the external projector.
Here is an article that may help you with that process:

Color not accurate after render...

I'm not sure if i have some settings that are wrong or my color grades are 'bad' but after I do my color grading and then render it back to FCP, or just watch it as a QT movie, the color of the clips are not the same as what is shown on the scope.
Its never a huge difference, with the project I am working on now the clips seem to always come out redder... and slightly darker/contrasty. There are other differences with other clips too.
Exporting as Apple ProRes 244 HQ
IPF: 8-bit (Not to sure what this is thought)
If anyone can inform me if this is normal or just some advice on the matter please
E

I expect you are doing your color work on the same monitor as your editing display, so you're wondering how the same clip can look different when played back in different applications. COLOR does not obey Quicktime ColorSync settings (with onboard GPUs) and is set up to deliver media appropriate for broadcast or digital cinema.
Depending on your various OS settings (Snow Leopard is the only OS to standardize a gamma 2.2 Rec709-like space across its platform), once you exit COLOR, your Quicktime movies will be once again subject to whatever "calibration" tweaks OSX has decided it needs to apply for display on your monitor, whatever it might be. There are also oddities in re-scaling and re-mapping between different Quicktime codecs that is a source of confusion among applications.
Not knowing any other details, its not possible to make any more than a general statment.

Available space not right after trashing

After trashing large files, the available space in the status bar remains the same
The only way I found was to go thru a restart
kind of annoying
Any other solution ?

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown asBackups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Reboot and it should go away.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. It may take a few minutes for ODS to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Energy Saver Display Sleep not working after upgrade. Why???

I upgraded to Mavericks a few days ago and since then, the screen will not blank out after the set time on the Display Sleep bar. This happens whether on battery or power. I've run Verify/Repair Disk and Permissions, and still not go. Any suggestions on what else I might do or check to get this going again? Thanks!

What are your screensaver settings? What are your energy saver settings? Will the screen at least go dark or nothing at all? What programs are running? Some programs prevent any kind of sleep while running. I once had an issue on my old iBook when sleep and screensaver where set to 5 min or less and it prevented sleep at all.
There are 2 things that can help if the source is not 3rd party related: first reset PRAM, and if that didn't do anything, reset your SMC (system management controller), but read the linked Apple Instructions, it is recommended to be only used if everything else failed.
