Color is off but why?

Last night I was on the internet and the system froze and I tried to force quite with no luck so I restarted using the little button on the front.
When the system restarted all appeared ok but as everything came up on screen like the dock and the hardrive the color on the monitor switched like the contrast was off and the colors are definately off. The strange thing is that the image appears normal on screen until everythiing loads? I tried resetting the contrast and recalibrating the monitor but nothing helps. Could the video card be fried? Is there something else I can do?
Any help would be great.
Thanks

The clue was the display being normal as the system started but only going bad at the end, when going to your user account. (You seem to have auto-login enabled.) This meant it was not a hardware or system problem, but something in your account.

  • Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Apple is great!
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
    I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC.  I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off.  Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage.  I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging.  Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on.  What happened to regular MMS text messaging?  I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program.  I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.

    The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
    If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
    Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

  • The old calender iOS6, in the year view, it shows how much busy I am in a day by indicating the color intensity. But the new calendar year view is totally useless!!! also too bright!! Why apple does this?? What is the way to revert the calendar back???

    Unfortunately, that's the way the cookie crumbles nowadays. Sir Jony Ive's GUI design for iOS7 has been met with much skepticism (to say the least). But until the company sees the compelling need for an adjustment or reversal, it "ain't happenin' ". So amble over to the feedback page ( http://www.apple.com/feedback/ ) and make your displeasure known to the company, OR make it known by not purchasing its products. Because as long as the iGadgets continue selling as fast as they can make them, they will see no need for change.
    BTW, do note you are NOT talking to Apple here. This is just a user-to-user forum.
    Edit: for now, you can also try out any of the alternate calendaring apps available in the App Store.

  • IMac 20" won't start.  l led 1 is on, but led2 flashes, led 3 off. Why?

    My wife's original iMac 20" suddenly today went fans full on. She turned it off by holding the on/off button for some time. Now it won't start up. With the back off led 1 if on, and led 2 is flashing. I've found reference to led 2 off and led 2 on, but not flashing. I've reset the SMU several times and the led went off, but after several seconds started flashing again. Can anyone suggest why?

    It's likely that your power supply has failed, but ake sure that there is no dust clogging the fans or vents.

  • HT201317 I had my photo stream on and my icloud all set up, i just had the screen replaced and they somehow lost all the photos off my phone, but why wont the photo's reload back on to my iphone now that im connected to wifi again, where are all my photos

    I had my photo stream on and my icloud all set up, i just had the screen replaced and they somehow lost all the photos off my phone, but why wont the photo's reload back on to my iphone now that im connected to wifi again, where are all my photos???

    When photos are added to the photo stream album on a device (either due to a new photo having been taken or having been synced from another device using the stream) they remain in the album.  However, the syncing process involves copying the photos to the photo stream server where they are kept for a maximum of 30 days, up to 1000 photos.  If a device is reset or the stream is turned off or turned back on again (or in your case, the device was repaired), the photos that were on the device's photo stream album are gone and the only ones to appear are those that are currently on the servers (recall the 30 day limit).
    If some of your photos are older than 30 days, then they are no longer stored on the cloud and hence are not synced down to the iphone.
    Recall, photo stream is just a syncing service, it is not designed as a storage service for photos.  Always sync photos to a computer for archiving.

    Hi,
    You might have the WiFi + 3G version of the iPad.
    This means you can put a SIM card into the iPad and get the internet where you get mobile coverage.
    Does the black box you mentioned look like this: http://images.apple.com/ipad/specs/images/ipad_3g_20110302.png

    hi Apfelwurm,
    why do you say it's not normal.
    it always switches itself on after i update. it just did again, this time for 7.1.2.. i t also will switch on after a restore.
    i never use bluetooth and make sure it's not on for any other reason.
    it's been noticed by others too.

  • I just brought Macbook pro(without retina display) on 15 june 2013 and since then put it on 6-7 hours of charging but still my macbook pro is not 100% charged. but why? (green light is displayed on the adapter pin)

    i just brought Macbook pro(without retina display) on 15 june 2013 and when i switched it on the battery was 72 % charged and now the battery is charged to 62%, i used the charger that came with it and kept it for 6-7 hours on charging but it is not charged to 100% but why? also the green light is always on when i plug the charger with my mac book pro.Please tell me the meaning of Green light on power cord lid (mac book pro not charging or charging?) and also the other light if there like amber or any other colour.

    Hello Shailendras33,
    Congratulations on your new MacBook Pro!  Thank you for providing all the information about what is going on with the charging issue. 
    Firstly, I found some information on page 11 of the MacBook Pro User Guide about what each color of the LED means on the Power Adapter:
    When you first connect your power adapter to your MacBook Pro, an indicator light on the
    MagSafe connector starts to glow.  An amber light indicates the battery is charging.  A green light indicates that the battery is fully charged.
    You can find the MacBook Pro User Guide here (this is not for the latest MacBook Pro, but the information about the MagSafe adapter is true for the newest model):
    MacBook Pro User Guide
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/macbook_pro_15inch_late_2011.pdf
    It sounds like you are not getting the amber light indicating your computer is charging, and you are noticing that the battery level is depleting.  I recommend resetting your System Management Controller when something like this is occurring:
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • Colors are off

    I've used previous Photoshop versions and recently upgraded to Photoshop CS5 (I've used the same Dell monitor with previous versions and it looked just fine before). For some reason the colors I use in Photoshop CS5's work-space are off.
    For example, the menu and interface is the perfect grey color, yet when I select a grey on my workspace, it shows as a tan color (see attached image). The only way to make it show the true colors (its not just the greys, all colors are off), is if I select in View>Proof Setup>Monitor RBG, then select View>Proof Colors. Even in CMYK, the colors are off.
    My Color Settings Working Spaces are set to:
    RGB: sRGB IEC61966-2.1 (I've tried changing this to "Monitor RGB" and "Adobe RGB (1998)" and it doesn't help my issue)
    CMYK: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
    Gray: Dot Gain 20%
    Spot: Dot Gain 20%
    Even though it looks off, when I Save for Web, the greys and the rest of the colors are saved normally. So it's just in my workspace, which makes it hard to figure out what true color I'm using as I'm designing.
    I don't understand why this is happening and how to fix it. I shouldn't have to turn on Proof Colors - Monitor RGB every single time I open Photoshop. And of course, I can't even view it with Monitor RGB Proof Colors on when I'm working in CMYK. Any suggestions?

    I haven't had specifically the problem you are seeing, but it's possible the factory monitor profile is just wrong or corrupted.
    Removing that Dell profile from within the Devices tab is required to get your system to use the system default sRGB profile, and if the sRGB profile doesn't give you accurate color (I believe the 2208 is a wide gamut monitor, so it probably won't) you may need to use a calibration device if you want really accurate color.
    Some rules of thumb to consider:
    If you want your non-color-managed output of sRGB files (e.g., most stuff shown by Internet Explorer) to exactly match what you see in Photoshop, just use the Windows default sRGB profile for the monitor profile (i.e., remove the 2208 profile).
    If you want colorimetrically accurate color from your color-managed applications (e.g., Photoshop), then you'll want to remove the profile and specifically calibrate your monitor using a device made for the task.  In this case, Photoshop and other color-managed apps will use the document and monitor profiles and accurately display your images, but non-color-managed apps will not, and will thus look different (in your case, much more saturated).
    You might want to make a copy of that file (C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color\SP2208WFP_DVI.ICM) in a safe place before making any changes; I'm not sure whether removing it from the dialog might actually delete it.

  • Printouts light and color is off

    I am using lightroom 4.3 . My printouts are off AGAIN.  Don't know why.  I use an epson 2000, costco (ilford glossy} paper profile.  Looks great on the screen but is washed out, color is off when I print.  Prints out fine from photoshop elements. I am beginning to like LR 4.3 but Really don't like this.
    Is there a setting or something that makes it not match the screen that I may have inadvertently turned on???
    Very frustrated.
    MBR

    Send off a reference image (data known to print correctly). You can find an example here:
    http://digitaldog.net/files/Printer%20Test%20file.jpg
    Might read this piece on prints that don't match a display:
    http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/why_are_my_prints_too_dark.shtml
    IF possible, send the same reference image file through Lightroom and if possible, another ICC aware application using identical settings. Photoshop, Preview on Mac etc should work.

  • HP C7250 has all colors of ink but won't print in color

    My HP C7250 shows that all ink levels are OK on the display, but it won't print in color becasue it says tht the Cyan cartridge is low. I recently replaced the Cyan cartidge with a new one and the display shows that the ink level is full, but when i go to print I get a message that the ink level for Cyan is still low.
    The printer is out of warranty. Anyone have an idea of how i can get this printer to print in color again?
    I have tried reinstalling the catridge, and the same thing happens.

    I know this was a while ago, but did you resolve it easily?  Mine has full colors, including cyan at 80%.  It won't use the cyan for color printing at all, so all the colors are off.  I think I have to chagne teh printhead since I've already cleaned them and changed the ink cartridge.  Just curious.  Thanks.

  • My caps lock is off so why is my text in ps cs6 typing in all caps?

    Im working on a poster that needs to get done asap but all my lettering are in caps. I tested my caps lock and they are off so why is everything still in caps? All the settings are the same as they were when I lasted opened it and there were no problems. How can I fix this issue?

    Open the Window - Character panel and look to see if the little TT button is pressed.  Settings are sticky, so perhaps you used that function before.
    You can reset the entire Text tool by right-clicking in the tool icon...
