Display changes color mode after restart.
I recently turned off my computer for a couple days and when I restarted my iMac screen is displaying in a strange color mode. It looks like the contrast is turned up and the color depth is in 256 color mode. I've gone into the preferences and tried about eveything I can think of but nothing switches it back to normal.
When I restart, everything goes back to normal for about 3 seconds and then it switches back to this strange display settings again.
I'm stumped, any help would be appreciated.
17" iMac 800 mhz Mac OS X (10.3.9)
Check the settings in Apple menu > System Preferences...> Universal Access > Seeing.
cheers

IMac - Display doesn´t work after restart
My iMac 21 Display doesn´t work after restart. If I turn it off and 1 hour later I want use it again the iMac shows the white screen with the mac logo and then the display goes off. I connected an external display to check if the iMac was ON and with the external display I can login and do everything but the iMac Display doesn´t work .
If I turn it off and wait 3 or 4 hours and then turn it back on the display works OK.
This is very strange behavior I have spent hours and hours trying to fine the solution or a similar issue but nothing so I am looking help here at apple.com
BTW When I bougth the iMac 21 there were some spots over the display so the display was replaced by the provider. The warranty has expired by now.To tell you the truth, I don't know if they have to repalce the LCD panel or what they do for a bad backlight. In this reality of block or assembly replacement it probably involves repalcing the panel and not the backlight component. Don't know what it would cost. You'd have to ask that of a service center.

MBP Changes color settings after sleep
After my computer goes to sleep, it has recently been waking up with a different color setting. Where the yellows are very dull and the screen has a blue hue. When I go to System Pref > Displays it changes back to normal without me clicking anything. It is getting very annoying, anyone know why it is doing this?
My computer is connected to a 24" LED cinema display which doesn't change colors on its own. The laptop has also done this without being connected to cinema display.
Thanks guysThis happens to me, also.
Just as you described - it happens when connected to an external display and when not connected.
It happens to me even without sleep; screensaver is enough.
I have my computer set to ask for a password after sleep/screensaver. Do you?

P.S. I just did a search of the forums - this is apparently a very common problem, dating back at least to Leopard. I haven't seen a definitive fix for it yet. -
Format of the analytic reports changed in OBIEE11g after restart.
Hi all,
After restarting the BI server, the format of the reports changed.
The analytic reports header font sizes has been increased and the report is not showing in tabular view instead it is showing results as in a notepad.
What might be the issue which caused these changes?
Please help me in regarding this..
Thanks & Regards,
Kalyan.as such we cant say it is an error from BI.....not sure what might be going wrong or is the tool acting upon.
Once bounce all services and look at it.
UPDATED POST
No need of changing any config files as such for that behaviour.....might be something wrong going with the BI tool.
Never i faced such issue as i was working on BI 11g
Cheers,
KK

Hello,
I was provided a file from a customer that is RGB. I need to change it to cmyk for printing. HOwever I cannot change the color mode. All my options in the Mode section under Image are greyed out. I have never seen this happen before.. Here is a screen shot of the Mode.
The image has been flattened. I am using PS cs6 on a mac. I have never seen this happen before. Does any one have any ideas?Strange. Could the file permissions be set to lock you out?
In the Finder, do a Get Info in the file and look at the permissions. If at the bottom, your name says "read only," then you need to change the permissions to allow you to read AND write.
To change permissions, use BatChmod, but be careful to change the permissions on that file ONLY.
It's FREE at:
http://www.lagentesoft.com/batchmod/index.html
... And if that doesn't solve the problem, can you share the file? -
I am facing a problem and I am not sure if its a graphic card malfunction. When I open applications like Chrome, VLC player, and most apps, my display suddenly changes color. It is as though the Theme was changed. The normal grey panel on opened windows turns to light blue and everything else seem as though there is a light blue layer on top of it. When I close these applications (quit) the display returns to its normal self.
My MacBook Pro is 2 years old, and I have an extended warranty. Will Apple replace my graphic card if it is actuall the graphic card's problem?I had that problem, too, and it's been documented both here and on the Adobe forums. What happens is that when you have dynamic switching on, when an application that uses your discrete GPU kicks in, the screen will change color. My problem lasted for a couple of weeks then just vanished.
What you need to do is download Cody Krieger's gfxCardStatus and turn off dynamic switching and leave your GPU set to discrete only. That's the only fix that I know of at this time. I don't know why it happens or why mine stopped.
Good luck,

Safe mode display settings not 'sticking' after restart?
Hi
I used a display setting not supported by my Mac mini and consequently had a 'out of signal' error on my monitor and restarted in safe mode, logged in and altered the settings.
When I restart the display settings do not 'stick' and I get the same error. How do I get the settings to stick? Have tried logging in as administrator and user with no joy!
Thanks NigelHmm. Maybe that combination of changing resolution in Safe mode and resetting PRAM have a combined effect of some kind? Worth remembering for the future. Thanks for posting.

Hi, I have an Imac G3/600mhz/CDRW/256mb/Snow. The Imac's display will change between different color hues varying from red to blue and yellow to green. When I smack the side of the computer it goes back to normal colors and then it will mess up again a couple minutes later. What could the problem be, could it be a simple loose connection, the pram battery, or something more serious. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,AaronHi,
will it overwrite the first update I did and take its place?
Basically it will include all the updates since 10.6 base version of Snow Leopard.
Sometimes doing this corrects hard to trace issues (and is less destructive than removing the SystemPreferences.plist in this case that holds loads of info)
Somewhat considered by some as Old Fashioned Repairing Permission with Disk Utility may help (Applications/Utilities > Disk Utility, Highlight the drive/Boot Vol and First Aid tab.
After doing both of those I would consider a PRAM reset.
Shut down the computer.
Restart it holding down APPLE(or ⌘ )ALT(⌥)+PR Keys until you have heard three Start Up Bongs.
This resets some of the settings the computer has.
(System Volume output and such that can easily be reset)

Firefox won't display changes to site after putting to remote host; refresh doesn't work
I recently had to reinstall Windows 7 on my machine, and since it was wiped clean I installed CS5, reconfigured my Dreamweaver site, and made changes to our index.html page (so far). After putting the files to my remote server, I noticed that Firefox does not display the changes I made to that file - it is showing the page last saved on my CS4 version. Figuring this was a cache problem, I emptied it, refreshed/reloaded several times, restarted Firefox - nothing worked.
I checked the page in IE8 and all the changes appear correctly. I used BrowserLab to preview in IE, Firefox (same version 3.6 that I use) and Safari, and all 3 display correctly the updated version of the page. Viewing in "live" Firefox seems to be the problem, and I've searched everywhere for answers. Help is needed and appreciated!Some things to try:
1) In Firefox > Tools > Clear recent history.
2) Try adding a last modified meta tag to your index page.
<meta http-equiv="Last-Modified" content="07 February, 2011 at 16:43:39" />
3) Use an anonymous proxy

Photos change color automatically after snapping
Hi admin board,
I got a luminar 925 and it have been update for latest OS.
At beginnig, this issue was happen and still unsolve after updated.
The photo always change to yellowish that compare with the live screen of camera.
I dont know why the photos is automatically adjusted the color after snapping and that such color is not so real. I want to off this function but it seems there is not feature to set up the color temperature for photo before imaging.
Even nokia cam, smark cam, window cam, and several third part sotfware have been tried but the issue was still same.
I just want to capture a photo that its color must be matched with the color in live screen. That could be wonderful if it could be control color temperature because your phone is now using Zeiss lens and functional well with hardward and firmware.
Hope to recievce your solution for this kind of issue.
Note: my phone has been updated to lastest OS and there is no recommend to update more.Thank you for ur advice,
But actually i already tried to switch off the flash even switch off the focus flash, but the result is as mentioned in my revious post. There is any functions that can adjust the color temperature or color setting before taking a picture? -
Can i change color mode in keynote?
Whenever I import pictures or logos to keynote, the colors turn out really skewed as from how they should look like.
COuld someone please tell me what might be wrong and how I can fix that? I have tried several differnt options when I export files from illustrator. Strange thing is, they llok perfect in Finder and Preview.
Panicing here. Thanks.I have just had the same issue. I am importing a logo I have created in Illustrator, which was done in RGB with specific values. The following methods all produced result that was different than the source…
-Copy/paste the logo from Illustrator with sRGB profile active in the document, and with no profile, with the same result.
-Placing the EPS directly was different again.
-Placing an AI file with embedded sRGB profile. No good either.
I also usually generate a PNG for client to use and when placing this into Keynote the colours were correct. The PNG was created in Illustrator with sRBG profile active. This worked for me, but I have seen other say it does not.
I've seen someone else claim changing the colour profile in Photoshop etc to the same one used by your screen will fix the shift, as Keynote supposedly uses the profile you have in system prefs. I tried this and it made no difference.
I assume the issue is colour profile conversion, but see no method that fixes it. Other than PNG. -

Changing color modes = degradation?
HI,
Beginner's question: Does it "matter" if you start with a CMYK or greyscale image and put it into RGB in order to use a filter that only works in that mode, then bring it back into CMYK, etc.? Does the image degrade or other wise lose quality?
When you do go hopping back and forth, doing, say, 3 different things to an image,does it matter which order or is it cumulative?
I know RGB has a higher Gamut range, so from CMYK to RBG it must resample and vice-versa?
Image doesn't have to be perfect but I'm curious just what is happening.
Thenx.
I think I should have posted this to the Photoshop forum...sorry...but if you have thoughts I'll take them!
Message was edited by: Canned PugSorry for the nebulous reply but the answer to your first question is 'maybe'. Why are you going back and forth between cmyk and rgb? Usually, the best solution is to work the file in rgb and only convert it to cmyk upon output. You can also do this by embedding an rgb file as a smart object in a cmyk file.
You won't lose quality by doing this, per se, but by going from cmyk to rgb to cmyk could spell trouble if you are doing this for offset printing. The original cmyk file may have specific information for a certain press or black generation scenario. When you go to rgb and back to cmyk you are potentially destroying this black generation from the original and replacing it with something that may not print the way one wants it to. -
Changeing color modes from rgb to cmyk
Good Morning Everyone,
I am editing a file for a Realestate customer of mine. For some reason her previous designer didn't understand to make print material in cmyk ( I cant believe how many "designers" dont understand the difference.). I am now going back and correcting that issue so they will print accuratly. Usually I can do this in Illustrator and just go to the edit menu and then go to edit colors and choose convert to cmyk. That option is greyed out in this situation. Does anyone no why? I am attaching a screen shot. I am using illustrator cs6 on a mac running 10.7.5.What Jacob says but check that you Color Settings are set right for the type of printing in question. Otherwise the colours may not convert satisfactorily.
