Screen displaying negative image

My 3 year old was hitting buttons on my laptop, I walked over to remove him and my screen is a complete negative image of what is being displayed. I am sure it was just a combination of buttons hit but I have no idea how to revert it. Anyone??? Anyone???? Tried looking under system preferences but nothing... have no idea how to fix.

I did a little searching. for anyone else who encounters the problem hit Control, Option, Command, then 8. it will switch it back to normal.

  • My iPhone 4S went into lock-up with a screen display image of USB connector pointing to iTunes logo. I took it to a Verizon store and they said I have a brick lock and that only an Apple retail store 50 miles away could clear it

    My iPhone 4S went into lockup with a screen displaying an image of the USB connector pointing to the iTunes logo. I was traveling and took the phone to the closest Verizon store. The store informed me that I had a brick lock and that only an Apple retail store could unlock the phone. The Verizon store explained that they have seen this problem with SEVERAL other 4S users who had upgraded to the new iOS7 operating system and that to their knowledge it is too demanding to work on pre-iPhone 5S phones having a far less capable processor. The closest Apple store was 50 miles away in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. I went to that store three days later (today) to reset the phone before flying out of Philadelphia Intl. Airport. The Apple store personnel were overloaded and not sensitive to my plight. They told me that I would have to make a reservation for a time 2 hours later for tech support. I couldn't do that without missing my flight - out of luck until I get back to Los Angeles. If the Verizon store explanation is true, Apple needs to accommodate 4S and earlier generation users and not force them to upgrade to a $459 iPhone 5S!

    The salesperson at Verizon has no clue what their saying.
    My 4S and many of my friends works perfectly fine on IOS 7.3, no issue as all.

  • Poor full screen display quality

    I am in a dual-display environment. One display I have set up as a full-screen display for images as I edit them in Aperture. They show up in a dismally poor quality; a grid-like low resolution. When I zoom in on them, the issue goes away. It's just when an image is displayed in its entirety. This is a 20" Cinema display. Note that there is no display quality issue with Photoshop. Thanks.

    Which picture is the refence picture?
    I have been noticing that the same image in different programes does look different, colour and tone.. Now I understand that as each programe reads the data differently. BUT with Aperture I have noticed this is the case within aperture and this is crazy.
    The photo is different in the loupe again different in the full frame version and yet again with in the grid. So when using the loupe is it possible to compare images enlarged from the grid and so on! and on. and the exported images look diferent again when viewed...
    Strange as it is all on one monitor!
    Or am I the only one to notice this?

  • Display is showing everything as a negative image

    I have a Power Mac G5 Tower that I bought in 2005. This weekend the display started acting strange. It is now displaying the typical apple blue background screen as a brown/orange color. When i bring up a standard .jpg it looks like an old fashioned picture negative. When i bring up any website that has a photo, it also displays the image as a negative. This is also effecting all my folders and even the backgrounds of menus. (If it was a white background with black letters, it is now a black background with orange letters). Has anyone seen anything like this? I tried plugging in another monitor, but the same display issues are there, leaving me to think it is not the monitor, but the computer that is the issue. HELP?

    Hi
    It sounds as if you've accidentally hit the keyboard shortcut which negates the image for the visually impaired:

    It can be toggled back by pressing Control(Ctrl)-Option(alt)-Command(Apple key)-8

  • My screen is now a black and white negative image - can I reverse it to col

    After 3 small children were near my computer - it was turned on , the screen is now black and white like a negative image, when starting up the initial checks of firewall etc are displayed on the normal colour screen then as soon as the start up is over it goes to Black and white. I have been through the settings on the computer but can not find any changes that have occured - I suspect the 3 toddlers have pressed everything at once
    Can anyone tell me how I can get the colour back?

    Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences
    and turn off the White on Black option under Seeing,
    as well as any other options which may have been
    inadvertently turned on or changed, such as the
    contrast.

  • Negative screen display?

    My 3 year old found a way to change my screen display so that it appears as a negative image. How do I correct this? Command + Shift + 8 didn't work.

    Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences, click on the Seeing tab, turn off White on Black, and drag the Contrast slider all the way to the left.

  • I need to connect my Imac 27'' (newest version) up to 3/4 monitors (all 40'' LCD tv's with VGA and HDMI connections) with extended display to all external screens, not duplicate images. Is this possible?

    i need to connect my Imac 27'' (newest version) up to 3/4 monitors (all 40'' LCD tv's with VGA and HDMI connections) with extended display to all external screens, not duplicate images. Is this possible?

    I would suggest you visit an Apple dealer, preferably an Apple Store if there's one in your city, and ask for assistance in determining what you need. The questions and issues you bring up are rather complex to address in a technical support forum and would be better addressed in person where you and the salesperson can ask questions back and forth to arrive at the optimal setup.
    Regards.

  • How to display the screen in negative?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to easily toggle the display of the screen in negative?
    Someone showed to me that with a Mac he can do that with one shortcut and now I’m jealous, I want the same on my Arch
    My graphics card is a Nvidia (proprietary driver) and I use LXDE with OpenBox, but I don’t really know at which level I have to search.
    Thank you

    You might be able to do this with one of the fancier windows managers (compiz perhaps).

  • How to display negative values in a screen field of a screen

    Hi All,
    Please let me know how to display negative values in a screen field of a screen.
    thanks

    Hi Kishore,
    You can do this method. In the screen , create a text field of CHAR instead fo creating an INT4 field.
    I have created a field of CHAR of name say TEXT.
    In the main program,
    declare a variable of the same name ie. TEXT.
    data: TEXT(5) TYPE C.
    In PBO, just assign the negative values.
    It will work.Since there is automatic conversion between character and integer data types, it will work for positive values as well.
    Regards,
    Sylendra.
