Backgrounds turned yellow on every app?

All of a sudden tonight after waking up my powerbook all the normally white backgrounds, like where I am typing text right now in Firefox, every document in word, even portions of every icon in the finder, have turned a light yellow.
I've restarted twice, etc.... nothing changes. Even the username/password screen on startup is tinged yellow.
Anyone have any bright (white) ideas? HELP!!!

Check your color profile in the Displays preferences (Color tab).

Mac Pro turns itself on every day at the same time

My Mac Pro suddenly decided to start turning itself on every day at 6:00:12pm local time (12:00:12AM GMT). It turns on at exactly 12 seconds after 6:00pm every day.
I recently upgraded to OSX 10.5 and installed the point update. It did it before the point update and continues to after the point update.
I have had it since April and it has never done this before. It did NOT do this under 10.4.
I have the options in system settings to NOT wake on LAN event and NOT restart after power failure. It is NOT set to automatically turn on but it is set to automatically turn itself off at 1:00am.
These settings have not changed since 10.4 and I have verified them. No other software has recently been installed since the update to 10.5. I did update the Wacom driver to the new Leopard driver. That is all. I have the Wacom tablet unplugged from the computer.
Any ideas?
Here is the console log from yesterday. It pretty much looks the same every day.

Updates installed by Software Update are "delta" updates - they go from 10.x.y to 10.x.y+1, and are customized for a particular Mac model. It appears that in this case they also patch some files instead of replacing them fully. The "combo" update will update 10.x.anything to the latest 10.x.y, it'll update any Mac model, and in this case it appears they contain full files instead of patches. The delta updater for 10.5.1 is about 39 MB; the combo updater is about 110 MB. You can download the combo updater from the Support site. Sites such as www.macfixit.com often recommend installing the combo updater instead of, or after, the delta updater, as it often solves mysterious problems. One specific example is the numerous "SUID" messages when doing a "repair permissions" - the combo update gets rid of all but one, and that one is specifically stated by Apple to be okay. Of course, no guarantees, but the combo updater is a reasonable thing to try.

How to Change log in background image without third party apps on Mountain lion

Hi I am trying to change the log in screen without using a third party app on OSX 10.8. every time I use Loginox the background image changes but if i create an image of that volume and reimage another mac with a different screen size the background becomes in tile mode. Does anyone know how to replace the log in background without the third party app?Thank you for the help.

Without third party application, you can not change the login screen linen background.
Best.

Every app I download on my iphone also downloads on my husband's iphone. How do I get this to stop?

every app i download on my iphone also downloads on my husband's iphone. How do I get this to stop? I don't think I have HomeSharing on...

That is incorrect. You can, and most people do, share one Apple ID for purchases.
All you need to do is turn off Automatic Downloads in the Store Settings of the iPhone. You do that by launching the settings app and selecting Store. There you will find the on-off toggles for the Automatic downloads.

CATASTROPHE: Every app (except core ones) crash on start. Please help!

Hi,
I just came home after spending a month out of the country with no computer but my iPhone 4. Now that I want to check some of the information I put in, I see that every app crashes on start. I already turned it off and on several times and it didn't help. Also did soft resets (sleep/wake + home) several times and didn't help either.
Nothing was installed, nothing was done, nothing was changed. It wasn't updated either. I just turned it off for the night and then turned it off the next morning.
I'm shaking because I have one month of data in it I can't access in any way!
Please, does anyone have a magic fix for this?
Thanks in advance!

I was trying just about anything and was going out of my mind when I noticed that installing a new app somehow fixed the issue. I think any app would do.
Phew! I'm going to sync RIGHT NOW!

Have to "manage" dictionaries every app launch

I'm using iOS 8. My default dictionaries are American English and Apple Dictionary - apple has set these, I can't change them. They are always working in every app.
I use the Japanese Dictionary and Japanese-English Dictionary daily. No matter what I try these latter two dictionaries can't be permanently enabled, either system wide, nor app by app.
If i'm using an app and trying to look up a definition I have to go to manage, turn on the dictionary (thankfully i don't have to download it), then go back one screen (screen still says no definition) so you have to go back another screen, then highlight the word (again) then click define and then the definition in another language emerges.
but then if i switch to another app, i have to repeat the process. the dictionary doesn't stay enabled across apps.
and if an app is ever closed, it defaults to American English and Apple Dictionary and you have to start the whole process all over again. dictionary management doesn't work.
What is the point of having these extra dictionaries, if you have to fumble through all these steps over and over several times a day?
How can I define, system wide what dictionaries I use? I don't need an english dictionary, I don't need apple dictionary, I need these two auxiliary dictionaries turned on at all times and I don't want to have to "manage" them.
Any ideas? (short of switching phone to japanese language, though that probably won't work either, because japanese-english will probably not be turned on by default!)
Thanks 1 X 10^6

I have the same problem too, I wanted to enable the chinese dictionary but I have to go to manage and re-download and re-define it every time! Annoying bug.

Does EVERY app need to remain open?!

Multitasking can be pretty cool on the iPhone - but is there any way to close an app completely rather then be forced to have EVERY app remain open?
For example, I may check a text message.
I press the home button to exit, but then need to click the home button twice to actually close the app from the multitasking bar.
Why cant I just close the app for good?
Would it be that difficult to have an option where you have the choice to either keep the app open, or terminate it completely?!

Multitasking has been supported with the iPhone since day one, but 3rd party apps could not run in the background until iOS4.
It is not a multitasking bar. It is a fast app switching and recently used apps bar. All apps - the included apps and 3rd party apps available in the fast app switching and recently used apps bar are not running in the background, so there is no need to be constantly removing apps from the fast app switching and recently used apps bar. Removing the Messages app from the recently used apps bar accomplishes nothing. It does not quit or close the app since the app always remains open in a suspended state for when a new message is received.
With 3rd party apps, the overwhelming majority of 3rd party apps will continue to be quit when pressing the home button to leave the app since there is no reason or benefit for the majority of 3rd party apps to be running in the background.
Some 3rd party apps such as a game will be placed in a suspended state when leaving the app so when returning to the game you can begin the game again where you left off instead of having to re-launching the app and beginning the game again from scratch. An app placed in a suspended state is not using any processor cycles or battery since it is suspended - open but not running in the background.
A few apps - very few apps such as a music streaming app and a GPS navigation app will run in the background when leaving the app.
Would it be that difficult to have an option where you have the choice to either keep the app open, or terminate it completely?!
This is up to the 3rd party developer for an app that includes the option to run in the background, which are few and far between.
This link explains how this works quite well.

Background turning blue?

Well, recently after i had my macbook pro back from repairs the screen keeps flickering blue a few times and sometimes the whole screen goes blue and wont go back to normal unless i turn the whole machine off. When i turned on my laptop now, and opened up safari - my background on my laptop randomly changed to green and then blue. I had one of the default apple pictures as my background - WHICH I HAVE NEVER CHANGED!! i changed it back to this picture but then the background turned blue once again :s.
Can someone tell me what i can do to stop this or if there is a problem with my laptop? because I am confuzzled on why its doing this ^^ :s

Hi rllenovo,
please don't forget that this is a peer to peer forum, provided by Lenovo in order that members may seek assistance from others and share their experiences. There is a Lenovo presence here but unfortunately they are not able to address every issue and therefore there is no guarantee you will receive a direct response.
It is possible that no other members are experiencing, or have experienced the same as you, or if they have, haven't been online since you posted. Sometimes in forums you need to bring a little patience with you. Alternatively you have the option of contacting Lenovo support.
It maybe that because you chose a user name with Lenovo in it that other members think you work for, or are associated with Lenovo and maybe felt that other channels of assistance would be available to you and hence offered no comment???

"Connect to iTunes to Use Push Notifications" comes almost in every app that I open and it does not notify me when I got message in Whatsapp and Viber. Please help me to overcome it, it is becoming quite annoying!

"Connect to iTunes to Use Push Notifications" comes almost in every app that I open and it does not notify me when I got message in Whatsapp and Viber. Please help me to overcome it, it is becoming quite annoying!

Did you get any help on this? From what I can see from surfing this site, it's a BUG that no one has offered a solution to. It sometimes happens after a 'reset' and going to ITunes does not offer a way to 'set up push notifications'.

How do I turn off the Genius app in App Store. I've gone to Settings/Privacy/Location Services/System Services then swiped Genius for apps 'off''. Also, I've gone to Settings/ITunes and App Stores/Click on AppleID/View Apple ID and then turn off Genius.

How do I turn off the Genius app in App Store. I've gone to Settings/Privacy/Location Services/System Services then swiped Genius for apps 'off''. Also, I've gone to Settings/ITunes and App Stores/Click on AppleID/View Apple ID and then turn off Genius. Still nothing has worked. I'm still stuck with Genius offering the same apps to me. Mind you, once I click on the App Store there is nothing I can do but swipe left and right. There's absolutely nothing at the bottom of the screen like a features tab, nothing. There is, however, a categories button at the top, but that's it. Irrelevant.

FWIW, I just got off the phone with Apple technical support about this. I use Genuis for creating playlists, so I don't want to disable it, but Apple support confirmed that there is no way to avoid syncing Genius data without disabling Genius altogether. I'd read somewhere else that subscribing to iTunes Match might allow you to avoid this, but that is NOT the case, as I've confirmed, and Apple support has confirmed. For me, it routinely syncs thousands genius of items, so I have to allow a lot of time for my manual syncs.

Every app - one at a time - stops responding

Every few days I will have a problem where an application is not responding - I get the spinning pizza wheel. Then I "Force Quit" that app. Usually my most problematic app is Adobe Acrobat Pro version 9.3.4 (which has never allowed me to update, but that's not the reason for this post).
When Adobe Acrobat crashes and I restart, next thing I know, every app - +one at a time+ - stops responding and "Force Quit" tells me that. I am unable to quit these apps the normal way. I must quit them using "Force Quit." So after Force Quitting each app one at a time, I restart my iMac, version OS 10.6.7 and all is well again for the time being.
I have used many maintenance utilities: Cocktail, Drive Genius, Onyx, SLCC, etc. They do their thing, but 3 − 4 days later the same problem occurs.
MY QUESTION: Can anyone tell me what may be causing this problem or what it's related to??
If I know the answer to this I can maybe fix it.
My only guess is that it may be related to Adobe Acrobat, but I may be wrong about that.

Click on the HD icon and do a GetInfo. How much free space is there on the drive? You need to maintain at least 15%-20% free of available.
When this is happening, have a look in Console>Files>system.log for any possibly relevant messages. Also have a look in Activity Monitor to see if something is hogging the CPU. Run Acrobat Pro and see what the CPU usage is. Also, in Activity Monitor>System Memory, down at the bottom what do you see for Swap used and Page outs? Should be a low number or zero. If not, you may need more RAM or need to run fewer applications at the same time. Also check to see how much free and inactive RAM there is.
Good article here.

II have an iPhone 4. I want to update my iPhone operating system but when I do, it says I have purchases that haven't been transfered to my iTunes library. I sync my phone everytime I plug it in (automatically), so I'm not sure why I'm getting the message. I have updated opertating systems before and lost everything, photos, contacts, music, aps, etc so I've been hesitant to do it this time, but my phone is just too slow and aps keep crashing etc.
Short of going through and manually verifying every app and song ive purchased, how can I figure out what is missing from my library, and begin this update?
Thx
Jon

thanks, but the device displays on the top right of the latest version of itunes, and i doesn't allow a right click. You can open it and access the info inside but theres no option to "transfer items" anywhere :-s

I cant find my pdf/ibooks on computer after backing up my iPad (they are on my iPad). Also, I'm having issues with my Ipad turning off about every 2 minutes so I want to restore it. Dont want to lose my files from my iPad.

Actually I have 2 problems: I cant find my pdf/ibooks on computer after backing up my iPad (they are on my iPad). I looked under Ipad, I Books, PDFs, and it doesn't show them on the computer. How do I manually transfer these files?
Also, I'm having issues with my Ipad turning off about every 2 minutes, and I want to restore it. I want to make sure all of the files are backed up before I restore. My trouble started when I was trying to update my IPad but it was taking too long (internet was scetchy) so I powered off...now Im having problems. I haven't tried to update again since this problem. Any suggestions? Should I restore? Should I update to 7.0.6? (currently 7.0.3).
Thanks,

I have an older Ipod touch with 4.2.1 and cannot be updated any further, how do I install apps on it now? so far every app I have tried says I need an updated IOS. This sounds like I now have an apple product paper weight.

This sounds like I now have an apple product paper weight unless I want to run out and buy the latest and greatest overpriced apple product.

Are you willing to buy a newer iPod? How about the 4g @ 16gb for $199* usd or the 5g @ 32gb for $299*.

Backgrounds turned yellow on every app?
