Colors look bad on other computer, but fine to me

My website has very pale gray Islamic patterns in the header and the footer. (I'm living in Qatar, in case you're wondering.) The name of my website/group is in medium and dark blue letters and looks lovely on my computer.
I sent it to my mom, though, and the Islamic pattern comes up as dark gray, making it nearly impossible to read the text on top of it.
Any thoughts on what's causing this and what I should do about it?
Thanks,
roxpat

Internet Explorer on a PC
The two platforms have very different renditions of color, fonts, etc. It's no wonder the PC is not rendering correctly. Can you have your Mom download and try Firefox for Windows? It's a much safer browser in that MS just put out a warning about IE and its vulnerabilities. I don't have access to a PC to test it but there are some here that will pop in after the presents are opened and dinner consumed that will be able to test and suggest different settings for IE, maybe.

The amount of RAM is not dependant on the operating system. It is all about the model of you Mac.
10.6.8 is the version of OS X that is installed on your system. It has no real baring on the amount of RAM that CAN be installed.
Personally I have never had good luck with Corsair RAM. I have always had good luck with Crucial and Kingston.

I am trying to instal incloud on my macbook. Its the white computer from 2008 year. In order to do that I need to install the Mac OS Lion and ILife. I was able to buy the apps and install them on my other computer but How do I install on this computer?

Does your Mac meet the requirements?
Lion 10.7 System Requirements
    •    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor (most models released since late 2006 - early Intel-based Macs with Core Solo or Core Duo processors aren't compatible)
    •    2GB of memory (recommend at least 4GB -- and ideally even more, as you'll see benefits in many computing tasks)
    •    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended) for Lion download from Apple App Store; or Leopard 10.5.x if using Lion on USB drive
    •    7GB of available space (10GB recommended)

Photos look awful in Photoshop & Bridge but fine in all other programs; how can i fix this?

I just got a new windows 7 64-bit laptop (Sony Vaio vpcf226fm/b) and installed photoshop cs5 extended on it and began to look through some of my photos with Bridge and notied that they were all very washed out and desaturated. In addition, certain parts of some of the pictures were very low-resolution...I'm not exactly sure how to describe it, but darker parts of the photos would have the same sort of effect you get when saving an gif image at very low quality. Id take a screenshot but unfortunately am not at home right now. Anyway, I thought the laptop might be messed up but the same pictures look fine when viewed in any other program...its just photoshop and bridge that they appear so poorly in. I messed around with the color settings but couldn't make much progress...finally the only thing that I found to work was, with an image open, to go to View - Proof Colors and that would make the photo appear the same as in the rest of the programs, without the washed out/desaturated look and without the lo-resolution areas. I can't find a way to make that stick, though, or a way to apply it to Bridge.
So what can I do? And what's likely to be causing this in the first place?

Alright, I'm back home now.
Here's what I mean about the major difference in saturation...the top photo is a screenshot from Canon's Zoombrowser software and the bottom photo is a screenshot of the same photo in Adobe Bridge CS5:
As you can see, there's also a greyish/bluish tint when viewed with Photoshop/Bridge as well.
And here's what I mean about parts of some of the photos being very low-resolution...you can see it especially well in this underexposed photo (the lower left and right corners and the edges of the clouds), again Zoombrowser on top and Bridge on the bottom:
What are your Edit > Color Settings? (A screenshot might be more convenient than typing it up.)
Have the images been saved with the ICC-Profiles embedded or not?
Here's a screenshot of the color settings:
Also, the images haven't been saved by anything else before, they're straight off the camera, unedited.
How have you calibrated your display? And have you changed your display controls since it was calibrated?
Basically, this is a symptom of your display profile not matching your display, and it'll only affect color managed applications that rely on the display profile.
I haven't calibrated the display and wasn't really planning to since it's a laptop and is going to be used mainly for photo and video viewing rather than editing; my desktop is what I do almost all my editing work with, but since this laptop is new and much faster I was planning on using it to sort through and organize all my hundreds of thousands of photos, then transfer that selection to my desktop for post-processing. However, it's still important that I have a fairly accurate display on the laptop since I don't want to delete something that looks bad if it turns out that it only looked bad because of the laptop's display.
I put the new laptop next to my desktop's monitor and then borrowed two other laptops and put those on the same table too and had all four computers display the same image; the laptop was clearly the odd one out both when viewing the image in Photoshop as well as when viewing it in Zoombrowser. In Zoombrowser it was far more bright and saturated than the other 3 displays and in Photoshop it was far less saturated than the other 3, plus it had low-resolution areas like in the second screenshot whereas the other 3 did not...so I'm not sure what to do now. The non-color managed photos are apparently being displayed inaccurately by being overly bright and saturated and the color-managed photos are being displayed inaccurately by being too desaturated plus having lo-res areas. Any help?

JPG and TIFF colors in Bridge CS5 way off, but fine in Photoshop

Just started happening, but not sure if it was after updating to Bridge 4.0.3 or Camera RAW 6.2. The colors for RAW and PSD files are fine in Bridge, but all JPGs and TIFFs colors are blown out and way off. Opening the JPG or TIFF in Photoshop looks fine though. Anyone else having this issue, or know how to fix it?
Update: If I set the "Develop Settings" in Bridge CS5 to "Camera Raw Defaults" for the JPGs/TIFFs that are displaying improperly, the colors and tones go back to normal, but if I "Clear Settings" everything turns to crap again.

PLEASE help save my sanity and my reputation! --I have spent the last five days exhausting every possible solution to this debilitating issue. I have spent countless hours perusing the web for a solution, spent 4 hours yesterday with Adobe customer support and yet, there is no solution to be found. My issue is that the color (in every file format NEF, JPEG, PSD) completely changes color and desaturates in every one of the adobe products: Photoshop CS5, Camera RAW 6.2, Lightroom 3.2. -
Everything was working fine, and then out of no where my productivity has come to a crashing halt. This is the steps I have taken to this point:
-Uninstalling/re-installing all of the software
-Purging anything that can be purged.
-Changing color profiles
-Resetting defaults
-Resetting preferences
-Installing updated drivers for monitor, video cards
-rollling back drivers for monitor, video cards
-monitor recalibration
**and finally, today...I set the monitor up on another computer, OS windows xp, and to my complete surprise, the issue persists even on another pc with completely different hardware.
-I am at my wits end with this. I have clients ringing my phone off the hook. This is crazy!
-I have sent out for another monitor as a last ditch effort to see if something is wrong with the monitor.
PLEASE, if anyone has a solution please let me know. Apparently, the folks at Adobe are just as perplexed by these issues as we are, as I have found numerous posts on forums throughout the Internet with this same issue---and yet none of the post every found a solution.

Mac Mail refusing password on one computer but fine on the other - one running Snow Leopard and the other Lion but been working fine until today

Mac Mail is fine on Lion but on the Snow Leopard computer its rejecting the password - been absolutley fine up until today?
Any ideas?
Steve

You have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
The situation with iCloud and Snow Leopard is described in detail here:

Site Pages Look Squished on Other Computer

I work on my site, it looks fine, but on my wife's computer
the images on the pages are horizontally squished. I'd never
noticed this before. But it's been a while since I worked on my
site (dgrossmandesign.com). Is there some way I can stop this?
I'm using Dreamweaver MX 2004 on a Mac G5 (pre-intel) and my
wife's computer is a Dell. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Dave

The images in the left frame appear to be showing at the size
you have them
set at in your html... They are not 'clear' in that they look
very blurry,
but defnitely don't look 'squished' to me.

Replacement Photosmart 6520 not installing on one computer but fine on another

I'm bewildered. I was having an issue with my 6520 not printing black ink, and was sent another (same model) printer as a replacement. On my Windows 8.1 laptop, it installed just fine. But on my Windows 7 desktop, the installation software cannot find the printer on the network. The HP Print and Scan Doctor found it, but was unable to print a test page. The printer is obviously on the network because the laptop can use it. The blue light is steady and reports connected to my network. I've manually entered the IP address but it remains invisible to this one computer. (Heck, my Android can access it!) I've disabled firewall,uninstalled and reinstalled twice, and am pretty frustrated right now. Anyone have a clue as to what's going on?

Hi chroma601,
I understand you received a replacement printer, of the same model, and now you are having some difficulty installing it on your computer running Windows 7.
Have you tried the Printer Install Wizard (PIW)? The HP Printer Install Wizard for Window was created to help Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 users download and install the latest and most appropriate HP software solution for their HP Printer.
If you have not tried the PIW please do, and let me know the outcome.
I look forward to hearing from you.

I lost Internet Explorer on my new computer. I tried to download firefox to a flash drive and install it on the other computer ,but it says something is missing. I really need help.

Please see question

Go to a suitable download page eg: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html]
Download firefox, use the save option rather than install.
Save it directly to the flash drive, or to somewhere on your computer and copy/move it the flash drive.
However if IE is not working possibly you have some sort of setup problem so firefox may not work either.

I can not get on Facebook. Comes in all little boxes(chinese looking) and every other site is fine. Please help! Ty

I uninstalled Firefox and re down loaded and same thing. I even set computer to factory settings and re did entire computer(browsers, java adobe etc) same results! Please help me IE so slow drives me crazy! Ty

Cannot ping or FTP other computer, but can access WEB

I just finish installing Solaris 10. I setup the proxy information and I can browse thru the web. But I cannot ping or FTP to other computers and this computers can't also ping my Solaris.
What I'm missing?
Thanks.

I just finish installing Solaris 10. I setup the
proxy information and I can browse thru the web. Since you don't describe it, we don't know anything about your network configuration or why you're using a proxy.
But
I cannot ping or FTP to other computers and this
computers can't also ping my Solaris.Perhaps all traffic that doesn't go through the web proxy is blocked?
What I'm missing? Do you have reason to believe that ping should work between your host and external machines (you don't mention which machines you're having trouble pinging).
