Open Illustrator and I get crazy colors all over

When I open Illustrator, I get crazy colors all over in my work environment (not all over the screen and not just on the art board but in the whole environment.) The colors are not always the same. Opening and closing the file doesn't solve the problem, I have to close the entire program. I can have multiple .ai files open, one might have crazy colors but the other doesn't. If I open Illustrator again and then the file, the problem doesn't necessarily happen again even with a file that was recently crazy.
A picture says a thousand words. Check out the attached capture.

From your email this does sounds like something random and sporadic that does not have a pattern. Has this started recently, or is this on a new machine. Has anything changed such as a font you did not use before, or an image or strange file format some of these file have. A corrupt/damaged image of something like a cmyk jpeg(the format was meant to be RGB and some programs occasionally act funny) can cause something like this.
Are you able to solve this by possibly toggling preview mode Command Y(Ctrl Y Win), view >> overprint preview. The preview almost looks like a cable is loose from your monitor to computer. Clean your computer with a can of compressed air and focus on any dust laying on the monitor card and cable connections outside the computer.
Sorry for all the wild guesses, but if you can tell us more about your system and any patterns you find, that can help.

ISight (iChat and PhotoBooth) cam is outputing CRAZY colors!

Hi Everyone!
I'm having an annoying issue. My HD recently crashed, and I just got it back from Apple. Fortunately I had TM running, so I got almost everything back. However.. after getting the machine up, and updating back to x.5.2.. my iSight is outputing CRAZY colors. Mainly yellow, grainy, nightvisiony looking image. It occurs in all video apps, I have tried resetting my SMC (although I have no way of knowing if I did or not), and jillions of restarts. I had this happen once before, and the SMC fix did it. Does anyone know a way to get the camera back to usable? Any thoughts would be GREATLY appreciated.

Hello Steve
... complete list of files (cache, library etc) that Isight draws upon.
I do not think that iSight uses ANY caches. I suppose the apps that operate your iSight might.
The best iSight technical info source I know is this search of the Apple Developer Connection. You may be able to get more specific help by becoming an ADC Member if you are not one already.
As an alternative to researching the ADC info, I offer another thought you may have already considered or tried. If I understand correctly what you have been doing at this thread in the Time Machine Forum, you believe that your iSight problem might be correctable by resetting preferences or clearing caches, but you have decided not to attempt resolution by deleting ALL system preferences and caches. If you think it might be beneficial, you could try an application like Yasu that can give you some control over which preferences and caches you can reset without using the terminal or deleting items generated and managed by OS X.
Finally, Steve, please allow me a word of caution for other readers. You seem to be an experienced OS X user who is more comfortable working at lower levels of OS X than many of us. For benefit of other readers who may be less knowledgeable, it is generally a bad idea to move, modify, rename, or delete any item outside your User > Documents folder unless you know what you are doing. While doing so will not harm your computer, if you damage your data or system files, you will need to restore them, which can be time consuming. Until you have enough knowledge to safely work with them manually, I suggest that you let OS X and your applications manage the files for you as they were designed to do.
Cheers,

IPhone showing crazy colors on screen when recording video?

I seem to be having a problem with my iPhone when I go to record video. I get this crazy colored looking screen (it shows up in the video and you can see it on screen when recording). Any ideas as to how to fix this?
Thanks in advance,
David

Hi David 14,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. I understand that you are experiencing issues recording video on your iPhone. If you haven’t already done so, I would recommend forcing the camera application to close and restarting your device:
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203040
2. Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
3. Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.

My iPad suddenly started to show crazy colors. I turned it off and had to use the two button trick to turn it back on. Now it shows only green stripes for a few seconds and goes back to sleep.

My iPad suddenly started to show crazy colors. I turned it off. It would not reboot until I used the two-button reboot. Now it shows only green stripes. only for a few seconds and goes back to sleep. HELP!

Standard troubleshooting...
1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider if, it comes up. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
3. Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red to delete all apps from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

Wake from hibernation results in crazy colors/shapes/flickering on screen

Hello,
I have a 3 week old 17" High-Res MBP and it is been working flawlessly until this morning.
I let the battery run down to 0 overnight at which time the computer went into hibernation mode (latch light was off). The next morning I plugged in the power, opened the lid and it started to wake up. I saw the small white dots that normally appear and a "wave" background image appeared. All seemed normal until the screen started to go crazy. There were a bunch of different shapes/colors/flickering all over the screen. I couldn't make out anything on the screen other than the mouse arrow. I waited for about 5 minutes before hard resetting it (held down power button).
It booted up just fine and has passed all hardware tests I have tried. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi
I returned my 15" mbpro 2.4Ghz and got a new one some funny stuff..
But this wake up effect seems a firmware thing as my former mbpro had a
strange thing with the led... [but my new not [yet, nock nock]]...
But it seems a refresh/initiate thing...
When I wake up my mpbro sometimes it shows some weird flashy effects...
But I guess firmware and 10.5.3 will fix this...

Crazy colorful crash on MacBook

I'm consistently seeing a very colorful graphic crash with iTunes, seems to be when I've come back to it after the machine has been asleep for a while. Very entertaining, haven't seen stuff like this since System 7 or so;
http://tinyurl.com/ufvco
Anyone else seeing this?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Crazy MacBook wont boot up...help!

My friend has brought her intel macbook to me to fix (i am her personal Apple care repairman!) and we have the following problem...
1. She installed the Firmware update (she thinks)
2. At start up there is only the grey screen, apple logo and the spinning wheel...
3. eventually the screen goes black and lots of "MS DOS" type commands begin to fill the screen...like "throtteling, responding to fast!" and then goes back through the cycle
4. Now it says Theba's Computer I have no Name SIOCPROTOATTACH_IN6:EN0 ERROR=17"

Since you are still using Panther, try booting from your System Install DVD. Try running the +repair disk+ & repair permission options.
See Article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301287 My computer stops responding during startup
If you have AppleCare, suggest that you contact them.

Strange screen colors while booting Arch Linux (i686)

I'm trying to install Arch on an old computer via usb live,
when I start the first option "Boot Arch Linux i686" at the beginning seems to work then stops and appears:
Arch Linux 3.17.6-1-arch (tty1)
archiso login: root (automatic login)
at this point the pixels begin to change from black to white. until the monitor becomes completely white and black horizontal line appears at the center.
you have any idea what could be the problem?
Thanks for help

What?? The first post clearly said archlinux, but if this is debian, you are asking in the wrong place. Did you just use debian because the arch iso was unusable? Did these visual distrubances completely prevent login?
can you link me the article?
Not likely. Is your google broken?
EDIT: in hindsight this post was more abrupt than needed for a new-comer to the forums. Please pardon the tone - but the content was exactly as intended. We are happy to help when it is needed, but archlinux users are expected to be able to do some of their own research. If you really need the wiki link provided to you, you most likely would never be happy with archlinux.

Photoshop CC rendering crazy color overlays in file

Photoshop is doing some insane things to a file we're working on, it's adding multi-colored, random blocks of color overlays all throughout the file. We'll close the file and reopen it, and it's fine. Then it starts doing it again! Has anyone else ever encountered this? The file size is aroud 470MB, on a 2013 Macbook Pro that has 8GB RAM/500GB hardrive, OS Mountain Lion. Attached is a screenshot. To me, it seems like the file may be corrupted somehow but PS not giving an error message.

If this is just the one file, then you may be right about it being corrupted. At 470Mb I'm guessing that it has lots of layers, in which case I'd be looking carefully at blend modes, but that doesn't gel with it being intermittent.
Going just from the screen shot, I'd be wondering about video card driver, but you'd expect that to affect all files.
Sometimes Photoshop can get into a muddle with layered documents, and things don't work how they should. I have always found that duplicating the layers to a new document fixes that. Select all layers, right click and choose Duplicate and then New.
It's an interesting anomaly though, so please come back and tell us if and how you fix it.

Screen turns pixelated and crazy colors! WHY?!

Hey, so I've had my MacBook Pro for a while and have never had any problems with it, but recently it's been doing this super weird thing.
When I'm on the internet (I use FireFox) and I go to a page that I need to input a username and password, I use an AddOn called Sxipper that remembers all my stuff for me. So when I'm on the page and Sxipper comes up with the list of my usernames and stuff, it used to just dim the rest of the page. Now, instead of dimming the page, it changes the colors to be all whacky and pixelated and I don't know why or how to fix it.
I've tried uninstalling Sxipper but it still happens on some sites, like sites that have changing ads on the sides (when the ads are changing, they change colors around super fast and then when they are ready to be the new ad the colors go back to normal). It also happens when I'm typing an address into the browser, All my stuff is up to date and I've tried running TechTool to see if there are any problems, but it says everything is fine.
Here are some pictures of what happens so you'll know what I'm talking about:

PLEASE HELP! Thanks.

Hello,
FYI... <When I'm on the internet (I use FireFox) and I go to a page that I need to input a username and password> Why not allow Keychain which is in your Applications/Utilities folder do this for you instead of a 3rd party application...
Also, there's a utility on the net you can download to UNinstall software.. it's called:
AppZapper and available here: http://www.appzapper.com/
Next, get a good disk utility, several here to choose from:
If you don't use one, there are several disk utilities available to use.
Onyx, is free and available here: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/20070&vid=476445&mode=info
or
MacJanitor is good also: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10491
or
and AppleJack here: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
I suggest downloading from Version Tracker so you can view the Reviews/Customer Feedback and make a decision based on the information provided by users.

Crazy color conversion prodblem

I'm designing a package using PMS662. I color will be used in process. In PS when converted to process I get values of C:100 M:94 Y:31 K:13. In InDesign and Illustrator however I get values of C:100 M:71 Y:0 K:18. Now I know I can simply set the matching values in PS since this will printed in process, so this is more a curiosity thing that I'd like to better understand.
Some background - Color Settings are sync'd between apps and the color was selected from the same named Pantone book (Pantone Solid Coated) in all three apps. I've been doing this a long time and have never notice any other color be so different between programs.
Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.
MIke
PS - I've attached a screen shot of the setting in PS for reference.

You are correct, from a color management standpoint Option 2 is much better. As long as you have the proper CMYK ICC you theoretically get the best match (which still oftentimes falls very short, i.e. Pantone 293)
The funny thing is that hardly anyone uses option 2. One reason I suspect is that ID an AI defaults to Solid to Process and no one changes the default setting.
Something else to consider. Pantone has in fact abandoned solid to process. The new books are Color Bridge. Some of the builds are very different. But again, hardly anyone uses Color Bridge because it's not the default behavior.
My honest opinion: try to avoid using Pantone Solid colors for CMYK designs. Many of the colors can't be matched anyway. I think the Pantone Process colors are a good option (the ones that start with DS). As long as your monitor is calibrated properly and you have an accurate CMYK ICC, when you select a Pantone Process swatch you can see a decent soft proof of the print color on-screen.

Crazy colors on boot up?
