Copy displays in blue on screen

I am using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8. All my copy (all text) displays in blue on screen, when it's supposed to be black. When I send to printer however it prints correctly in black. Is there a reason whey this is happenening and is there a way to fix this problem? I have tried opening different pdfs from multiple sources so it's not just one pdf file that is doing this. This is happening to all the pdfs not just the one that I have created. When I open on a different computer or if I open the file in Acrobat Reader, copy is displayed in black like it should be. I am on a MAC running 10.6.8. Thx!

  • IPhone, displays green/blue stripey screen and locks.

    I have an original iPhone that has suddenly started to malfunction.
    The phone seems fine but when it goes into standby mode it becomes unstable. If I receive a phone call, text or try to wake the phone it locks displaying a green/blue stripy screen.
    This screen will stay on until/unless you reset the phone. After the boot sequence the phone has then lost it's setting such as date time etc. The big issue being that if the phone malfunctions in your pocket you do not know until the phone/screen is so hot it is almost burning your skin. This as you may expect is a massive drain on the battery life.
    Is this a common problem and is there a way to fix the phone?

    Sounds like a hardware problem, but have you tried a Restore? Else, since the Original iPhone was never officially available in Norway, you must have a hacked/jailbroken phone - Apple will not service it. If a Restore doesn't help, you'll need to buy a new phone.

  • Satellite L500-1XD constantly restarting & displaying blue recovery screen

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite L500-1XD laptop from an Argos store in August. Soon after I got it it occasionally restarted itself and displayed the blue recovery screen saying the laptop has recovered from a hardware failure. This has become more frequent recently and it often shuts down, displays blue screen, restarts and does this over and over again.
    I have not installed many new programmes on the laptop and have installed all updates. I have removed any programmes I did install with the exception of Microsoft Office.
    Another thing that might be related if that when the laptop starts up it says the Toshiba Service Station has stopped working and tries to check for a solution to the problem.
    I would any appreciate any advice on how I could perhaps remedy this
    Thanks in anticipation

    Hi katrina_1,
    That means the preinstalled Windows version is still installed, right?!
    Well, I think its hard to say why it happens It could be a software or hardware malfunction. Both could be possible.
    The most reasons for blue screens are drivers or hardware itself Are all devices installed properly in device manager or do you see yellow exclamation marks?
    In your case I would try to reinstall Windows. Maybe its only a software or driver issue
    Furthermore if you have installed two RAM modules, test it with one module only. You can also use Memtest86 or another RAM diagnostic tool to test the RAM modules for failures.

  • My computer displays a blue overlay over my log in screen when I wake from sleep. How do I avoid this?

    My Macbook Pro (late 2012) recently started making a weird startup noise coming from the optical drive and displaying a blue overlay screen with a bar at the bottom when waking from sleep, after about 2-3 hours of non-usage. It then takes about 30-45 seconds until I can type in my password. When I first got my computer, this wouldn't happen.
    Any idea why it does this and how I can stop it?
    This is a picture of the screen:

    If you want to post an image please use the Camera icon in the message composition window's toolbar. You cannot just drag one in from your computer, hence why your image does not appear.
    I would suggest you try this:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • My G4 Apple PowerBook will not boot further than pale blue/grey screen displaying "flashing file symbol / flashing ?"

    My G4 Apple PowerBook will not boot further than pale blue/grey screen displaying "flashing file symbol / flashing ?"
    Last previous action:  Used Firewire cable and "Target Mode" to copy files from G4 eMac to the PowerBook.
    I worked from the eMac to the PowerBook, making the PowerBook the "Target".      Files seemed to transfer OK.     Won't boot from InstallDisc.  Holding down T on startup results in Target mode screen.   I have a G4 iMac and a G4 eMac.    Can I use either of these with Firewire cable to boot-up my PowerBook ?
    I'm new to using this Communities & Forums Help.   Can someone please help me to get going again ! !     Thanks for your time.  Graflood

    Hello,
    It sounds to me like the PowerBook is stuck in target disk mode.
    It's expecting the iMac/eMac to be there when booting. Seeming it's not attached, it will show a flashing folder.
    If your PowerBook internal drive is bootable, then simply hold down the option key when booting and select it's internal hard drive. That should boot your PowerBook into Mac OS X.

  • My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?

    My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?
    I have a two and half year mac book pro... I've had some issues with the screen looking scrambled when I quit certain applications, but now it's turned into something worse.  I'll be working on my computer and the thing will freeze.  When I force restart, the first screen, the apple logo, will be a blue tint and won't boot up normally.  Then I try safe mood and it will then boot just fine.  But there are blue stripes on my screen.  The screen alternates from a blue tint to normal and if the computer freezes again the screen will become completely blue with black stripes.  I haven't tried reinstalling my software because I don't have the startup discs that came with my computer.  If I was sure that would fix it I would purchase them, but if it's a hardware issue I'm afraid that I'm screwed.  I've been able to successfully get the blue off my screen by putting it to sleep and then waking it up, but that's not working well anymore either. 
    Does anyone else have experience with this?  Is it the firmware or what?  I have a MacBook Pro from early 2011 and I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    Please help... Thanks!

    I just experienced this exact same issue with my early 2011 15" macbook pro. Since like a month after purchasing it I had issues with the screen randomly going dark on me. I sent it in for repair inder waranty they replaced the gpu and logic board but I continued to have the same issues with the screen randomly going black sometimes I would need to reboot it in order to get the screen to go back on but it happened so infrequently and I used the computer for school so disnt find the time to resend it in to apple. Just last night the screen started to display the blue screen with black verticle lines on it. I called apple and explained to them  the issues that had been ongoing since I purchased the laptop but they said because I was now outside of warantee that any repairs at thia point wouldn't be covered. Fml so glad I spent 2200 on this future proof macbook pro what a joke my sister purchased a toshiba laptop for 300 4 years ago and it still running like a champ. I loved my macbook but at the price I paid I expect it to last longer than 2 years before leaving me high and dry. *** apple??

    Let the battery fully darain. After charging for an least an hour try a reset and restore. Use Recovery mode if necessary.
    If not successful, then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • 5s turns off and displays a blue screen

    I purchased my 32gb 5s about a month ago. Last evening, (without touching it) it looked like it was restarting but would display a blue screen, jump back to the logo screen and then black out. I held down the power button and it stopped. This morning it started doing the same thing and it it's happening over and over again. I can't get it to turn on.
    Has anyone had the same problem? What did you do to fix it?
    With much appreciation,

  • I have a 17" Macbook pro with flickering red and cyan(blue) lines across the screen. The issue disappears temporarily when I tap on the computer, and the problem does not occur when I use external display or try to screen capture the problem.

    I purchased my Macbook (17") through a certified apple tecnition in August 2012, it was refurbished and the motherboard was completely replaced. I do a lot of photo editing, but I have been unable to do so because of the red vibrating lines that interrupt my screen. The issue disappears temporarily when I tap on the computer, and the problem does not occur when I use external display or try to screen capture the problem. I brought the computer back to the technition I purchased it from and he said that it was a problem with my fan, so I have two new fans but the issue is still occuring. He says he doesnt know whats wrong. Does anyone have any information on this issue?
    Here is an image of the issue
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/67839707@N08/8884847081/

    I recommend having your Mac serviced by someone competent. A force sufficient to "blow apart" the fans was clearly excessive and may have damaged the display cable, as well as any number of other problems.
    Dust is properly cleaned with a vacuum, preferably one designed for computer service, and they are not cheap.
    Compressed air should never be used. It just blows dust everywhere, often into places where it can no longer be removed.

  • In Mail 3.6 remote images in HTML messages display as blue squares with ? even though checked in viewing references.

    In Mail 3.6 remote images in HTML messages display as blue squares with ? even though checked in viewing references.

    Nurit,
    The point is that that button should not be there, if the preference setting is as you say. This indicates the preference setting is stuck, and that is what I was trying to help you resolve.
    The full purge is done as follows:
    Quit Mail, and in the Finder open Home/Library and locate the Mail folder. Control-click over the Mail folder, and choose Duplicate -- then drag the resulting copy to the Desktop for temporary backup. Next, open Home/Library/Preferences and find the com.apple.mail.plist file and drag it to the desktop.
    Relaunch Mail, which will open as though new, and when prompted to import anything DECLINE. Instead, re-enter your account info, and Mail will re-discover the account folders for your accounts, and all should be well, after setting preferences as you desire.
    Ask any needed questions, and keep us posted.

  • After installing itunes and restarting computer, blue error screen comes up

    After I installed itunes 9 and restarting my computer a blue error screen came up. I had to restart my computer in safe mode and restore. Now itunes will not work. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling various itunes, ipod, apple...etc programs and i get the blue error message again. HELP!

    What version of iTunes is installed in the Apple default location ..... /Applications/iTunes ???
    Drag the iTunes icon in the Dock to the Desktop and release; it will be deleted with a poof! Don't worry it's only an alias.
    In your Home Page ~/Library/Preferences/ ......... drag to the Trash and delete:
    com.apple.iTunes.plist and com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
    (don't worry ... new ones will be created upon relaunch of iTunes .... +see below+)
    Using: /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/Repair Permissions
    RESTART the computer
    Within the Applicatons folder: double-click the iTunes icon ... if the launch is successful, drag a copy of the iTunes icon to the Dock ... release ... you will now have a current alias in the Dock.
    P.S. *Do Not* have the iPod connected to the computer during this process!

  • Display problem - blue tinge, low res

    My first gen 20" intel imac has an odd display problem.
    The screen has a light blue tinge to it which show up particularly clearly in finder windows which i have set to display white. I've played around with brightness/contrast settings as well as colour calibration but to no avail.
    This problem started a few months ago when it would periodically flick between being normal and this blue tinge. For the last few weeks the blue tinge is all I get.
    The other symptom seems to be a reduction in resolution in 'blue tinge mode' which is particularly noticeable when watching movies.
    Does anyone out there have any ideas?

    does this problem occur on external screen?

  • Display dead until splash screen

    Kind of an odd problem. For a while the display would not work at all.
    Zapped PRAM, Reset, NVRAM, removed ram upgrade and Airport card, no change.
    I finally try and boot from the recovery CD's and amazingly, it works again.
    Now, it works once it gets inside the GUI. But, from the startup chime to the "Starting Mac OSX" screen, it's dead. I dont get any video at all until I get that blue splash screen. No single user, no verbose boot, no grey boot screen with the apple.
    I can boot into OF and Single User modes, and they work, I just get no video at all.
    If anyone has an idea of what I can do about it, I'd appreciate a pointer, I'm pretty stuck right now.

  • Display wallpaper on locked screen

    I noticed about a week ago that my Z10 was displaying the BB_Blue.jpgp wallpaper on the locked screen. I saw it for a few days and then it stopped.
    I thought it was odd because I had not chosen a wallpaper setting on the device to that point, so I thought it might be related to the OS update to 10.1.0.273 (although this happened several weeks after the update).
    But I liked the look!  It relieved the monotony of the dark background.
    So then I set the wallpaper to BB_Blue.jpgp and it works on all screens except when the device is locked.
    Does anyone know how to set the wallpaper to display on the locked screen?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The solution came to me after I realized what was different about my setup.
    I had enabled Parental Controls as a means of screening telemarketer calls. With PC enabled only calls from numbers in my contacts would cause the phone to ring, all other calls would go directly to Call Answer.
    What I further realized is that some settings applied while Parental Controls are enabled, apply only to that mode. My clue was the fact that  I had arranged my icons one way, and when I briefly disabled Parental Controls they were back to the standard view.
    I tested this by setting the wallpaper for the standard view to purple, then enabled Parental Controls and set the wallpaper to blue. While navigating in Parental Controls mode the wallpaper is blue, but when the screen locks the purple wallpaper is displayed.
    So the bug (or undocumented feature) is that the wallpaper you choose with Parental Controls enabled is not the one used for the locked screen. The locked screen uses the wallpaper from the standard view. In my original problem, because I had not set a wallpaper for the standard view, the locked screen showed only the dark background.
