Display colours have gone all strange

The colours on my iphone have gone all weird, I can only discribe as psychedelic. Any ideas how I get it back to normal?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
They are probably negative colors. To disable that, open Settings > General > Accessibility, and turn off Invert colors

When I display the view-formula command , the information in the cell displays vertically and it is very hard to read. I want it to go back to the horizontal display I have had all along. Thanks

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I am working with Excel for Mac.

TS3274 I have a blue screen and the display colours have all run.

Dropped my iPad on its edge. No damage to the glad just a dent in the corner
However the screen turned blue and the apps
Look like X-ray photos with a bit of colour.
Backed up and restore to no avail.
Any idea? Or is it a new one required?

Boot your computer using the install disc (hold C after turning on the computer). Open Disk Utility and repair the disk and disk permissions.

Help Please! iMac screen colours have gone crazy

Can someone please please help me to solve this problem? I was playing around with my new iMac screen settings. I made changes to the calibration colour settings. Now I notice that the colour has all gone to alpha, gamma range and is looking horrible. Can someone please help me to restore the factory settings for the display? Or suggest ways in which I can fix it please? That would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Open System Preferences->Displays->Color and select "iMac". That should be the factory default settings, as when you run the calibrator the last thing it asks you is what you want to call your calibrated profile. The default name is "iMac Calibrated" which should be in that list too. If its not there and you overwrote the original, click the "Calibrate" button again and just click through it using the default choices it gives you. This will return the display to its default look.
HTH.

My display settings have gone wonky, how do I reset to last date they were correct?

I have no idea how I corrected this the last time, I forgot to write it down. I've tried every system preferences , tried all the diff settings on my monitor, I know it is an easy fix... Help? I know it involved going back to the last time I used my computer. I simply can't rem the steps.

No, thanks anyway, not the problem. I finally got into resetting the size in my display prefs, but as before, it's still not quite as easy to read as it was. I click my way through each res setting, hoping I'll find my old settings. I can read this now, the window is a comfortable size after dragging it out a bit, but the various areas of font are just a little way off.

French characters fail to display properly (have tried all the regular fixes)

I am updating a website with french characters and they are not displaying correctly. This website has been live for a long time and had no problems, but while updating some wording/punctuation on the development (before rolling it into live), I am seeing that my characters are failing. We recently bought CF Builder 2 and I believe this to be the problem, as I had something similar happen like this - but with an email blast - a while ago (I ended up having another worker develop the code on his PC with a different program).
I have googled this and have ensured the following settings are correct:
window-->preferences-->workspace--->text-file encoding: UTF-8
project-->properties-->general-->text-file encoding: UTF-8
I've also tried putting
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" >
at the top of my pages and they still display incorrect characters when french accents are used.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Cameron

this should solve some of your problem if it is because you got the '''newer''' version!!

Help! Colours have gone mad!

I know it must be something obvious, but can anyone resolve my problem. Here is a (very poor quality ultra-compressed) screenshot of my desktop and PS CS3 with a screengrab of the same desktop (obviously!).

What has happened to the colours in PS? The screengrab looks fine in other apps and Windows Photo gallery.
Help!!!
Thanks
Iain

Freeagent, thanks a lot. You were right, I did recently change to Prophoto as my working space and that was the problem.
That was a VERY helpful reply. I thought I did know something about CM but your post, and especially the link you posted, showed me that I had a lot to learn.
Thanks again.

Macbook screen has gone all fuzzy

Yesterday I updated my mac with the new SMC firmware.
On the restart my screen has gone all fuzzy, and the colours have gone all strange.
It does this in both mac OS X, windows vista and the boot screen. When I take a screen grab of the screen and send it to another computer the image is normal, as if this problem did not occur.
I've done a hardware test from my install disks and it turned up no problem. I have also tried resetting the SMC firmware by turning the laptop off, unplugging the battery and holding the power button, but so far nothing has changed.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

GfulDedFan,
Thank you for your reply,
I might have been wrong about the SMC update.
I got the update on my machine on the 17th, and I wasn't sure what exactly it was, and assumed it was the SMC update as it came out on the same date.
My machine is running an Intel chip set and was purchased in mid-2007.

HELP I seem to have lost all my files after turning on Filevault

Hey all,
im completly new to all things Mac, everything has been great so far but now i seem to have lost everything.
I turned on Filevault protection then shutdown my Macbook, came back to it a couple of hours later and now all of my files, itunes music files have gone, all of the settings and preferences seem to be back to the factory settings, and well everything has dissapeared?!! any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

I have no idea how Apple would handle this. I would hope they would tell you to go into an Apple store and have someone there look at it and fix it. That would be very good advice. Trying to fix a problem like this over the phone would be really hard.
Clearly, your system is no longer mounting your sparseimage file the way it should. The good part of this is that your files are still relatively safe inside that sparseimage. I would not try to turn filevault on or off again. That could be dangerous. Your goal now is backup.
In the terminal, you can type "open /Users/.stuartcampbell/stuartcampbell.sparseimage" to mount that disk image as a new volume. Hopefully, you can log in as "stuart campbell" and do this. That would be really good. If you can, log in as "stuart campbell", open that disk image, and copy all the files you find into a new folder named "saved files" under the "/Users/Shared" folder. You want to get your files out of that sparseimage and into the real file system.
Once you get your files out, you can try to turn filevault off again. My hunch is that FileVault is already off. I think your system has created a new home directory for you named "stuart campbell1" because the old one was corrupted. If this is so, you can safely copy all your files from the sparse image into this new account, overwriting anything you already have. (Just make real sure that your current home directory really is just blank data!!!). At this point, you should be running again, with your home directory being named "stuart campbell1".
If all this is true, try the following. Rename that old "/Users/stuart campbell" folder to /Users/stuart campbell.old". You can run NetInfo, go into "Users", and change your home directory back to "stuart campbell". Then, before doing anything else, rename "stuart campbell1" back to "stuart campbell". Save your NetInfo changes, quit, logout, cross your fingers, and log back in.
I realize this is very complicated and more than you really want to do. I don't see any way around it. It is very difficult to know exactly what state your system is in and exactly what is going to work and what won't. A trip to the Apple Store or a similar place might be a good idea. I say might because there is no guarantee they can fix it either. There are still way too many steps that say "If this works" and "try this".
There are some key things to remember and do in any case. Try to open that disk image and get your files out.
Don't fiddle with any account security settings until your files are out of there.
Once your data is secure (or rather - in a safe place), you can feel free to fiddle with account settings and swap out those directories to get back to a good state. I can assure you that it will take a bit of fiddling and may not work at all. Just get your files out there and we can get you up to speed again after that.

My macbook pro's screen display has suddenly gone into a strange colour setting where everything appears in a kind of infrared colour palette an I can;t seem to change it back. It's the same for all icon and websites, does anyone know how to restore?

Wow! I think I had this same issue just last night.
I was cleaning my macbook pro retina on the outside. Then I opened it up and was wiping dust off the monitor and I can't pinpoint exactly when, but the colors changed suddenly. It looked super strange, it was like green halo's and it looked worse when looking at it at an angle. Of course I took no pictures!!! I was freaking out that my 2 grand laptop was busted and I somehow removed a protective film or something.
But I digress... The image looked very green and spacey, it was almost a neat effect. After about 5 minutes it started to look a little more digital though. There were straight lines of this halo effect on the edges and top. After about 10 minutes it turned into a predominate issue with the blacks on screen. I could open a web browser and it was unnoticable on a white background. After about 15 minutes, you could only barely see the green cloud effect if you looked at the monitor from an extreme angle. After about 20 minutes, it was completely back to normal, I almost feel paranoid like I see a halo or something strange. But I believe that might be all in my head now.
So yerp, lemme know what you guys figure out.

I have a macbook pro 17" 2012 and the display colours are all too hard and the profile will not change it is stuck toLED Cinema display.

Hello hbothner,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you'd like to change the colors on your Mac's display, then you can calibrate your display by following the steps in the article below.

My ringer is no longer working for text and email notifications. Only working for phone calls. I have gone through all the settings to see where something is off. Not finding anything. I have tried changing the tone and it just vibrates on everything.

Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

HT201412 I updated my iPad and shortly afterwards my display has changed to what looks like negative image colorization. Has something gone out on the display or have I unintentionally triggered a weird display setting?

TS3988 My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

If you can see the iCloud contacts in Outlook, you can copy them back to your PC by selecting all the contacts (click one, then press Control-A), then drag and drop the selected contacts to Contacts under My Contacts on the left sidebar of Outlook.
If you want to copy your calendar back to Outlook, select your iCloud calendar on the left sidebar of Outlook, switch to the list view (select View from the ribbon, then click Change View>List), select your events (click on a single event, then press Control-A), then control drag and drop them to Calendar under My Calendars on the left sidebar.
Then you can sign out of iCloud on the iCloud control panel and your local copies will still be there. If you want to add your iCloud email account back to iCloud, you can do this with these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.

You did install the latest iTunes (10.5) right? If the problem was that iTunes does not see the iPod try:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
