Macbook camera changes colors

When I use my macbook webcam for skype or iphoto, my image color changes from normal to sepia to red to green and so on. Is my macbook web cam broken and need to get it repaired internally or can I fix it?

Nice that the update took care of your problem - I had the same problem on my late 2011 model and it just stayed around for a couple of weeks and then, magically, was 'fixed'. Only a handful of people here and on the Adobe Photoshop forums have had the discrete GPU/blue tint problem. Glad to see that there's a 'fix' for the 2012 models - I'll keep that update bookmarked for any other 2012 model owners who have the problem.

My Macbook display changes color when I open applications. It looks like there is a light blue layer over the screen, thus changing the color of my display. This layer goes away when i quit the applications.

I am facing a problem and I am not sure if its a graphic card malfunction. When I open applications like Chrome, VLC player, and most apps, my display suddenly changes color. It is as though the Theme was changed. The normal grey panel on opened windows turns to light blue and everything else seem as though there is a light blue layer on top of it. When I close these applications (quit) the display returns to its normal self.
My MacBook Pro is 2 years old, and I have an extended warranty. Will Apple replace my graphic card if it is actuall the graphic card's problem?

I had that problem, too, and it's been documented both here and on the Adobe forums. What happens is that when you have dynamic switching on, when an application that uses your discrete GPU kicks in, the screen will change color. My problem lasted for a couple of weeks then just vanished.
What you need to do is download Cody Krieger's gfxCardStatus and turn off dynamic switching and leave your GPU set to discrete only. That's the only fix that I know of at this time. I don't know why it happens or why mine stopped.
Good luck,
Clinton

My macbook pro is freezing after my screen changes color

Macbook pro retina color profile changes when switching from integrated to discrete

Late 2013 macbook pro retina color profile changes when auto switching from integrated to discrete graphics card. Problem started after updating to 10.9.3

Same here. Really annoying because I have my screen calibrated for photo editing, which makes it much warmer than the default color profile. A lot of websites cause the graphics cards to switch for a couple of seconds, which causes the profiles to switched back and forth a few times, everytime. Really annoying, and dissapointing to see, considering Apple released like a hundred .3 betas.
You can use gfxCardStatus to make it stay on one graphics card over the other... Just remember to change it back when you're using a program that actually needs the descrete card.

My Illustrator does not allow me to change colors using swatches panel. Help pleas.

Few days ago I started having strange problems with my Illustrator CS5 application. I am using MacBook Pro with Intel Processor. After major update on the Mac OS few days ago I noticed I can not change colors in my drawings using swatches panel. The function on my Illustrator CS5 stopped working. When I select object and try to change its fill or stroke color using fill and stroke from the options bar above work space, none of the swatches would work. The are there how ever nothing hapends when I select them, the color remains the same.The same thing happens if I try to use the swatch panel, I select the object then I try to select new color from swatch but the fill or stroke does not change. I can only change color on my drawings using the color panel but that is not useful for me since I need to get precise colors using approved color swatches ether from pantone library or approved by client.
The other strange thing is my selection tool does not deselect when I click outside on or of the artboard, the object remains selected until I reselect another object or use the keyboard short cut to deselect it.
I have tried various options to resolve the issue from deleting and reseting preference to completely uninstalling and reinstalling Illustrator CS5. I even installed back my old CS4 version because I had to complete a project and the same issue is happens there as well. I also reset the application using Time Machine from few months ago when it was working correctly. What happens when I reset or reinstall the app, it works for about 10 min correctly as it should and and then it reverts to the same problem. I am out of options and do not know what else I could do to fix this. Right now I am working on my old Mac tower G5 and CS4 where everything works as it is suppose to, but I really need to get this fixed. Can any one help or has solution for my problem? Please.

Q10 - I tap the screen to select, the icon changes color (indicating selection) but nothing happens...

I notice an issue that predominantly happens when I use my thumbs to tap but does happen with fingers from time to time.
When I select an icon (say, for instance the lower-right corner icon to jump into camera settings), the icon changes color slightly when my thumb touches the glass, and then when I remove my thumb, nothing happens.
Sometimes this happens more than 5 times in a row. It's one thing if the screen never recognized my finger/thumb in the first place. It is a bit more madening when I KNOW that there was recognition (icon changing color) and yet nothing happens..
Anyone else having this problem? Is there some way to recalibrate the screen?
Right after I posted this message I tried that camera setting button - 7 tries before anything happened with my right thumb, one try with right index finger, then again it took 5 tries with index finger. The frustrating thing is that the icon to load the camera in the first place (lower right corner)... that one almost always works with the first tap...

When using quicktime screen recorder, the recording changes colors

Please help me out!! So I've had my macbook air for a while now and I've used the quicktime screen recorder multipul times, but latley something changed. When I go to record my screen everything works fine, and once its finished and I've saved it it's still normal. But once I go to import it into imovie the entire recording turns red, I can still see the recording but everything is just red! Everywhere else the recording looks fine, but its only when I try to put it into imovie that it changes colors. Its never done this before and all of my past screen recordings work fine.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix it?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

Hello meaganmarie,
I am assuming you have quicktime up to date (10.3)
When recording a game window,
- select quicktime
- go to file > New Movie Recording
- select your game window like a rectangular marquee selection (drag and make a rectangle filling only your game window
- stop when done and save
This way the endtire screen (including youe desktop) won't be seen, just your selected game window.

I know there should be some way to change the colors of just specific areas of text like this. It should be as simple as putting a color code at the start and end of the tag like
<div><color="#FF0000">This text should be RED</color></div>
I tried that and it came up with the error "Invalid Markup, This is not the correct format for an HTML tag."
I am about 99% certain you can change colors of specific div tags using color codes without giving them an Id and making a css rule for them, I just don't know how. This is a simple question and it should be a simple answer.
Correct:
<div style="color: #ff0000;">This text should be RED</div>

Changing colors brings up a new dialog I've never seen before...

Hi,
I think I broke my Photoshop CS4.
For some reason, when I try to change colors anywhere (it could be the color of text, or the main foreground color) a dialog with swatches appears instead of the eyedropper tool I'm used to using in this scenario. I can't click on anything else in the screen except the options in this annoying swatches dialog.
It looks like this :
This is extremely annoying and frustrating, as this dialog won't tell me what the hexadecimal color values are (even when I click "Define Custom Colors").
As of right now, the project I was working on is stalled until I figure out how to make this thing go away and let me use the eyedropper tool to change the color of something.
This problem is new. I had my CS4 running since it came out and it never did this before.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Screen changing colors

Hey guys. Lately every time I've woken up my Macbook the screen changes colors. It will go through all of the primary colors and then some gray horizontal and diagnoal stripes, and sometimes the screen will flash in and out. Usually if I close the lid and reopen a couple seconds later, it's fine. But, is there any way of fixing this? I don't want it to turn into a bigger problem.

You may be having a problem with your screen, your integrated GPU or your connection cable between the logic board and the screen. The only way to ferret out which problem you have would be to take your machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them run diagnostics on the unit. They can give you an idea of what's up with the machine and an estimate on what it would cost to fix it.
Good luck,

Change color to won't work

So I rendered a c4d scene, and in it was a tilted plane with the default material on it if you say "create new material". I noticed that the more tilted it was flat, the more gray it appeared, and the more it showed to the camera, the more white it was, so I figured i'd try to fix it with change color to in after effects, however it will not work and nothing happens. if I change the change hue to change hue and lightness, I see the desired color I want in the background, but it completely messes everything up. I need an answer ASAP so any reply on how to fix the gray plane thing in cinema4d or my change color to would be appreciated.
Thanks
Edit: Extra info
I have cinema 4d studio r14
Up to date After Effects CC
Quicktime is installed
Im on Windows 7

Well, no offense, but you seriously should read the C4D help. That's normal specular shading behavior and it is uniform acroos the plane because you obviously haven't defined any scene lights and use the default viewport light. Read up on how to create materials and adjust there properties and then learn the fine art of scene lighting as well as how to use object buffers to isolate objects with multipass renders.

Visited links don't change color

Something I've done in the past 48 hours has caused Safari to not change color for visited links (this is still working fine on FireFox). I tried creating another user account and it works fine with that...just not with my account.
I've done all the typical things...repaired permissions, repaired disk, completely reset Safari to default and made sure all caches, etc. were cleaned out...both manually and with Onyx, reset associated .plist files.....nothing helps.
The only thing I've added to the machine is WebKit, but I tried uninstalling that as well, cleaning out all its associated files...but that didn't work. Returning to a Google search page still shows all links as blue.
Any ideas? I really don't want to do a complete reinstall...I just spend a week getting this new MacBook the way I want it and I have a lot of apps on it.
Thanks!
Larry

Thanks, Dimaxum...I've already read this thread, and every other thread about the subject on the internet. I am totally convinced this is a Safari issue because the links have always changed color for me using FireFox...always.
I'm sure there could be other situations where something else caused this problem and it was apparent on both browsers, but not in my case.
On my wife's Mac this is not a problem on Safari...it's something in my User folder causing it. For now I've just made FireFox the default browser and I'll keep searching. Or the next time I wipe my hard drive and rebuild everything (I do this every six months or so...old Windows habit that isn't necessary) I'm sure it will work fine then.
I was at the Apple store yesterday and tried several Macs there...they all worked fine. This is just somethiing on my machine.
Thanks for your help.

Start up screen changes color from blue/gray to brown

My Macbook Pro recently started changing colors: When 'start up' it begins with a blue/gray (normal) color but then changes to a light brown color. The apple icon is still present though...
Any ideas as to why the screen changes its color?

You should try to erase the drive with Disk Utility, so any filesystem problem will be fixed, but if you haven't made a backup, you'll lose files.
1. Go to Utilities > Disk Utility.
2. Select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and go to Restore tab.
3. Connect your external disk and drag it from the sidebar to Destination box, and press Restore.
If it doesn't help, take the Mac to an Apple Store

How can I permanently change color of junk mail listing to black?

How can I permanently change color of my junk mail listings? It is light brown and difficult to read.

I'm trying to do the same...no problem choosing the color, but when I used an advanced rule, I no longer have the option in a drop down menu to "erase junk mail". Seems like any combination of an advanced junk mail rule wipes out the option to erase junk mail, and I don't want mail to automatically delete my junk email. I tried outting a stop evaluating after the text color, but that didn't work.
