Color is washed out and the type is fuzzy

The color on my HP Pavillion 15 Notebook PC appears washed out. In addition, despite trying several settings on the "clear type", my type seems to be fuzzy nd difficult to read. I've already tried adjusting the color on the advanced settings to no avail. As an example, if there is a box surrounding this post area, I cannot see it. I'm really frustrated and ready to return this after fighting with it for over a month.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

I had a cracked screen and I got a replacement Iphone 4 yesterday. The colors appear washed out and muddy looking.

I took my Iphone 4 to an Apple retail store. It had a cracked screen and I got and out warrantee replacement for $149. Everthing works but the display is subpar. The wallpaper and images appear muddy yellow and the colors appear washed out.
Can I exchange it for another one?

Hi Mario,,,,
I tried everything in your reply,,, thank you again,, I had done that once before and all was working great,,
I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
Please advise,???
I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???
Thank you again

When I look at gmaps pedometer website on my laptop's LCD screen the streets are all washed out and the gray background is not visible - Why?

When I connect my laptop to a monitor - the problem is not there. I can see local streets clearly because the background color is gray and the streets are white - Any ideas as to why?

Since installing yosemite the colors are washed out and whenever I restart the machine it reverts to the yosemite screensaver even though i have set a different desktop picture.

Since i installed yosemite, the some parts of the screen can hardly be seen and whenever I restart the desktop display reverts back to the yosemite screensaver which I have never selected. Do i need to reinstall or what.

Has anyone else noticed that colors are washed out on screen on the white iPhone?

Comparing the white and black iPhone 4 side by side, I noticed that colors on the screen are washed out on the white iPhone. This is clearly noticable when clicking on messages and looking at the top where the word messages appears in blue/gray color. When looking at this on the white iPhone, its more white than blue/gray.

It could be just the contrast in color with your eyes looking at the white iphone vs the black one. Your eyes can sometimes play tricks on you. But in all seriousness, iPhone screens vary in color temperatures. I have seen two black iphones 4s that looked like they had different displays in them.

When I type in my account password, the password "dots" gray out and the message "There has been an error" appears. I cannot access my computer in any way. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

When I attempt to sign in to my administrator (or other) account the computer hesitates, the password "dots) gray out, and the message, "There has been an error" appears. I have tried the usual methods of password recovery but nothing has worked so far. I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you very much for your attention to my problem.

I have MacKeeper installed
Oh dear.
Many users will see references to an application called MacKeeper on various web sites and via pop-ups on their browser. Not only is it expensive for what it purports to do (freeware applications that do the same or more are readily available), it can sometimes install itself without the user realising it, and it can be very tricky to get rid of.
Most positive reviews of it have been found to have been paid for by Zeobit (developers of MacKeeper) in the form of ‘free upgrades’ etc. For example (posted by fellow contributor Softwater), on their Facebook page and on their webpage they have this apparent endorsement from UNC Charlotte:
https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-18670779-12515 7/450-259/Screen+Shot+2012-06-17+at+17.04.04.png
Softwater contacted the Director of IT at the College of Arts and Architecture UNC Charlotte, about whether they endorse MacKeeper and his response, quoted here, was:
No, please do not download and install MacKeeper. We have seen problems with this software in the past.
MacKeeper has been described by various sources as highly invasive malware* that can de-stablize your operating system, adding that it is unethically marketed, with a history of making false advertising claims, by a company called Zeobit and a rip-off.
For more details about Zeobit’s alledgedly fraudulent advertising and paid-for ‘reviews’, and their dubious marketing practises, read this:

Further opinion on it and how to uninstall MacKeeper malware can be read here:
http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/
MacKeeper have recently said that the uninstaller from here:

Colors faded, washed out in PDF display

Hi all, odd problem... found a few like it in the forums, no solutions though.
When I export a PDF from InDesign CS3 to Acrobat 8, the PDF opens with a dull "wash" over the entire pages.
When I scroll or move thru the document in Acrobat, I briefly see the pages properly (vivid color, rich blacks) for a split-second, then this grayish "wash" appears over everything. This even happens in the Print preview dialog.
It seems to print OK, but executives will be opening & viewing this file and not always printing. I'm getting comments like "can you fix the color?"
My color settings are synchronized thru Bridge.
Any insight is much appreciated!!

I am having a similar but different problem.
My documents print from InDesign CS3 just fine. The printed output matches my on screen colors just fine. When I create a PDF from InDesign, the onscreen PDF looks just fine... BUT (here's the problem) the printed output from the PDF is washed out.
The reason this is important is because I have to send a PDF file to the printer to have it printed. The printer only accepts PDF files.
The color space is CMYK in all cases (US Web Coated SWOP v2)
I have tried a TON of different options, from "Preserve Color Space" to not preseving, convert, etc. etc.
Does anyone have any ideas why printing from InDesign looks good but printing from the PDF file is always washed out?
Thanks,

How come Colors are Washed Out, FCE QT Conversion H.264

I have searched this forum on this problem, but nothing I found directly addresses this.
I have transcoded 1080p h.264 video to AIC, editing in FCE4 works beautifully. If I export to QT movie only converting to h264 original size, a 3 minute video becomes 3 GB but the playback in QT matches the colors I see in FCE. If I use FCE to QT conversion to a smaller size, 640x360 h.264, the colors get washed out. I tried MPEG Streamclip to convert the 3GB version, and the colors are beautiful, but even at 100% quality, the video looks slightly pixelated.
Still on MAC OS X 10.5.8 with QT7. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Nelson

it's an old bug, and one I hoped had been fixed with the release of QT7.
there is supposedly a field in the mov file which indicates the Gamma of the mov. from memory, QT is either not writing the value, or it's ignoring the value when the mov is played back. the bug is also evident in Safari. it only affects movies exported as H.264 (which is laughable since Apple has been heavily promoting H.264 for quite some time)
I have an urgent project for friends overseas. this is not a welcome predicament.
search the net for "quicktime gamma fix" and you'll find a raft of web pages regarding the problem. for example, Luxology Quicktime Gamma Fix.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Washed out and dissapearing display profile

Hi,
I hope someone might have some insight with my PB problem.
Thank you in advance for reading my long winded 1st post.
I wonder if any one else is having a similar problem.
I thought that this was the best place to turn for advice.
I have a one month old 15"PB, with 1.5 gigs of ram, and a 100 gig 7200 rpm hitachi HD, which has been running great until last Wednesday. Earlier on Wednesday I ran for the "first" time the software updater to 10.4.3. I don't think this is the reason for the following problem because of the reinstalls of the original OS, but you never know.
Anyway the display would all of a sudden look washed out. The difference is somewhat subtle but wrong. (Sometimes after staring at it for so long in the beginning I wasn't sure what was noraml or not anymore). I tried things like changing brightness, went to Universal Access and played with the contrast but it didn't look "normal" to me. I then checked the display profile of which the active profile was "LCD Display" which I now beilive to be the correct one. I decided to calibrate, which created a new profile. It didn't seem to be diiferent so I deleted the "new profile" which by chance or something also deleted the default "LCD Profile" now definitely washed out . The default setting was now "Generic RGB Proflie". Without the "LCD Display" profile, it won't/wouldn't recalibrtae again.
( You can see the difference by changing this setting between the LCD Dispaly and the Generic RGB profile.)
After reading for hours to try and find out how recreate the "LCD display" profile but with no luck I thought it best to backup everything and do a clean/erase and install.
This worked and it was back again:)
But after a while (a 1/2 hour or a few) it would vanish again and default to
the "Generic RGB Proflie".
Rebooting would fix it.( I can't remember if it fixed it everytime or not).
I phoned Apple Care 3 times. The first two times to a level one tech which didn't provide any insight. The third time to a second level who thought it must be hardware related. He guessed that it might be losing comunication with the display?
He said that I could send it in for repair to see if they can figure it out or try taking it back to the Authorized Apple store from where it was purchased, which I thought might be quicker because I live in BC, Canada.
I took it in on Thursday only to have them get back to me today Monday to say that they can not recreate the problem. The repair tech asked for more information from me about the problem in hopes of recreating it. The tech after today would be away until Friday.
I phoned the sales lady of which I have had (before this) and know quite well, and voiced my displeasure. She is looking in to it but if they can't recreate it in the next however long I have to take it back until it happens again to start all over and be no further ahead.
I am so frustrated.
Thank you for reading,
Martin
Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Hey, I had the same problem. Although I (kind of) isolated it. I found out that any time I am playing Civ III and unplug my power adaptor, the display goes to minimum power mode (dim). If one shines a light on it, then you can find the cursor and do stuff, but it is not an acceptable solution. The problem has happened afterwards, but it wasn't reproducable. Although I noticed that I had lots of applications open and was usually browsing in Safari when it happened. I've had other problems like a sticky trackpad or a messed up key bindings. (Delete not only took away a character, but it turned down my display brightness.
Good luck.

When printing photos, pictures are missing colors. ( example no blue sky, colors look washed out )

When we print Photos the colors are not clear and the blue is missing in the sky, Pictures look yellow , also sometimes lines appear in Photos. I already ran the cartridge cleaning .

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? It appears you are low on cyan (and/or light cyan depending on your printer model and what cartridges are installed.)

Probably not, since user-caused damage isn't covered by the warranty. But you can take the iPhone to an Apple Store and see if there's anything they can do for you. A phone company store will not service your iPhone at all, to the best of my knowledge.

I have adobe Premiere Elements 13. It will not let me delete audio or have it fade in or out. I can move the yellow line all the way down till the volume reads -0.0, but the sound is still there on playback. I can click on fade in and fade out and the yellow line that graphs volume takes a sharp raise or dip at the beginning or end of the clip, but there is no change in volume when I play back. What am I doing wrong?

rickeyt
Thanks for the reply. Great news about the volume adjusts.
Now about those fades for the volume. How are you doing that?
1. Right click the Timeline video audio and select Fade and then
see the Fade options (I had a video with audio file, so I saw the choices as shown in the screenshot)
2. You can also create two volume keyframes at each end of the Timeline audio clip rubberband (orange line that goes horizontally across the middle of the audio clip). At the position of the Timeline Indicator, click the Add/Remove Keyframe icon, and then with the mouse cursor position the white dots (volume keyframes) to achieve the Fade In and Fade Out audio. In the screenshot below I have moved the Timeline Indicator so that you could better see the white dots (volume keyframes).
Please let us know if any of the above works for you with regard to the audio fades.
Thank you.

Creating a structure, knowing the name and the type of the components

hi, following problem:
i have uploaded an excel file from a different system with the information about the names and the types of the components of several structures.
how can i create a structure with this informatin on my system?

ok, i think i have to give you some more details:
i want to update a table from a table saved on another system using a report.
(only inserts are important, no updates)
the problem is, that tables may not have the same components.
therefore i have created several excel sheets with following content (using mehtod gui_download):
name1 ; name2 ; name3.... | name of the component
typ1 ; typ2 ; typ3 ... | type of the component
content11 ; content12 ; content13
content21 ; content22 ; content23
uploading the file into table <uploadtable>
now need dynamic structure: let' s say dynamicwa
name1 typ1
name2 type2
then: loop at <uploadtable> into dynamicwa.
 move-corresponding dynamicwa to destinationwa.
 insert destination_wa into destination_table.
 endloop.
but how can i create this dynamicwa?
