Display Problem: black stuff suddenly looks red

Everything black (objects/graphics/print/cursor) suddenly has a "red tinge" to it. Black parts of graphics almost "glow red.." I don't remember changing any settings, but how can I get rid of the red and back to pure black with no red aura around it.

Hello vichuboy,
I understand that the color is wrong on your display.
Connect an external monitor to the laptop and see if you are having the problem on the external monitor.
Let me know how everything goes.

Hello My ipads Power button is not working properly when I press it once it shows option to turn off instead of locking and some other display problems like it suddenly lockes down or display disappears ...Please help. Thank You

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

New infotypes from form are displaying in black font instead of red

Good day,
I recently created a new form where a manager can submit a form to change their employee's work schdule infotypes in MSS.
The form can be successfully processed through workflow and the new infotypes from the form are populated in PA40 when executing the corresponding PA40 action.
The issue is, for all other forms when a new infotype is pulled into PA40 in SAP ECC the data is displayed in red font (making it easy for the data processor to see which feilds have been updated by processing the form). For my new form, the data is successfully pulling in but the font is black.
How do I change the font of the new infotypes to pull in as red instead of black? Is there a setting/config somewhere that I have missed?
Thanks,
Christine

Hello,
Is this a workflow question? If not, you may get a quicker and better answer in another SDN forum.

Office display problem, every office program looks like a broken mirror

Yesterday all my office programs can no longer be viewed or operated. The look like a broken mirror. I attempted to uninstall and re-install today to the same problem. I use Office Professional 2013 64-bit.
Please help. I would include a screeshot but my account needs to be verified. Nothing can be read and its mostly black with lots of diagonal lines running through it though, you can tell its excel or work or whatever.

Sorry for my poor imagination and I cannot image the picture of broken mirror:(
Locate to the folder path C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15, try to run Office programs directly, such as Winword.exe, Outlook.exe, and etc. Are they correct?
We may also test the behavior in Windows Safe mode (Press F8 when you start Windows) without the drivers and other services running.
Do full-disk scan through Anti-virus programs which is updated to the latest version of VirusScan DAT. Let me the result and hope everything would be fine.

PDF Documents suddenly display as black only

Earlier this year I suddenly had numerous PDF documents start displaying completely black, making it impossible to read the text. Sometimes images appear as ghosted white outlines, but most commonly the whole document is simply a black blob. I can open the same file using a free PDF Reader, but the moment I try opening it in Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro it appears in black again. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling version 9.2, and have now updated to 9.5, but am still getting the same error.
I have no idea of where else to look to find a solution. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Jurgen

This sounds sort of like a display problem. Are the preferences that you have set under Edit > Preferences > Page Display category in the Rendering area any different in Reader than they are in Acrobat Pro? Also in the same Preference category make sure you have Use Overprint Preview set to Never.
Also you can try checking under the Edit > Preferences > Accessibility category to make sure some of these setting haven't been inadvertently set.

N95 Display Problem. URGENT (Black and colorful mo...

Hey everyone,
I have been having a problem with the display of my N95. The Display goes BLACK and i cant see anything on the screen. Then when i hit the back or side of the phone, the display appears but turn Red/orange/blue at times and also moves all over the place.. I have seen the screen go from right to left..
I would like to mention that everything works fine with the phone EXCEPT the display... I can see the keypad lights and it also makes the key sound when i press the keys..
Anyone..? It's Urgent..

It's definitely a hardware problem with your phone. You need to take it to a nokia care point for repair. It will be free if your phone is under warranty and undamaged. If you are out of warranty you will have to pay. Only the care point can tell you the cost.

My mbp retina 2013 display went black suddenly

My mbp retina 2013 display went black suddenly. Anyone else having this problem?

Hi, I have the same computer, same model and same problem with the same diagnosis, with no response from Apple for being out of warranty of 4 years, this is a shame!

External display problems, Red dots.

Display on external monitor is plagued with red dots and horizontal lines, this only occurs with certain resolutions (particularly high resolutions). I have a late 2010 revision of the Macbook Air ultimate 13inch, using a Griffin mini-display to DVI/HDMI (i have tried both HDMI and DVI), display is an ASUS 24inch (have also tried a dell 23inch, to the same problem). I would really like to be able to use this display with my Air but the red flickering is annoying to view.

I have the same problem. I bought my Retina Macbook early so Jun 2012 I think and I got a new one for work Early 2013. Both have the same problem. I had the LCD burn in problem with the first one and when I asked apple about the red dots while they were replacing the display they said it was because it was trying to push too much data to the external display. I seriously doubt that but they said there would be an update to fix the problem which never came.
Right now my guess is that the DVI adapter I have maybe suspect but I haven't tried to replace it yet.

Hello there, Victoria.
Great job on troubleshooting on your own. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps to review and additional recomendations:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Resolving issues
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge until your device turns on. This could take between 10 and 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue persists, please contact Apple Support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Problem: iBook G4 display goes black randomly. help?

Hi,
I have an iBook G4 that purchased in 2004.
Recently, seemingly randomly, the screen will go black from time to time.
The keyboard is still active, and I can hear any music that I had been listening to still playing, etc. So, the computer is still operating, but the display is black.
If I close it, the the little sleep "eye" that usually pulses when it is sleeping does not light up at all.
I have to open it, shut the computer down by holding down the power button, and then turn it on again. The display comes on like it should.
I have found no pattern for when the screen will go black.
I saw on a google search that many people have had this problem.
My questions:
1) Has Apple acknowledged this as a defect and offered to fix it?
2) Anyone know what might be happening?
2) I'm likely getting a new Apple laptop soon, and if I my screen completely goes, will I still be able to hook up my old computer to my new one and transfer my files, music, etc to my new computer?
Thanks!!!! peace.

Lola,
if I were to get a McBook ... then I shoudl be fine transferring data from my old machine to my new?
Yes the lack of FireWire in the new MacBooks won't allow a Target mode transfer but the two computers can still be networked together as noted on the site I posted.
The different operating systems (my old OS 10.3.9 to the new Snow Leopard) won
't be a problem for transferring data? Is that right?
The difference in OSs won't be a problem for the transfer but there could be compatibility issues for documents in Word for instance or Excel. Those exist anyway a fact I've found particularly irritating.
When or where you buy the MacBook you can ask them about such matters and make that a condition of you buying the new MacBook. I'm sure they'll be glad to implement the transfer. All my clients have had that done here in Chicago.
If you find you don't need that iBook after you purchase your new MacBook you can email me to have it donated. I have many parts here for repairs as evidenced in this video:

My ipad 2 suddenly show red screen during start up and on ordinary screen show red colure fill the screen , I think it is hardware problem mostly screen. This problem didn't happen after fall or only accident ,what shall I do ?

You could try a reset and see if that fixes it : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If it doesn't then you could try restoring to your last backup and/or resetting back to factory defaults. But if it's a hardware issue then you will need to contact Apple.

See Ogelthorpe's link:
Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

My original post, locked by this forum. Display problem related

Hi G5 Gurus,
The display problem first, we all know when screen savers display, a click on the mouse will bring you back to the active desktop, this was how it worked., but now, sometimes a click cause the G5 to sleep!
As for the sleep, I dare not to put it to sleep these days, because I am afriad it may cause a fire by over heating. Sometmes, actually four times in the past few months, my G5 could wake up by itself, followed by a extrem high speed running of the cooling fan, it sounded like a hair dryer running in the same room. Sometimes the sreen could light up, just like real wake up, sometimes, it was black. No clicks the mouse or keyboeard could bring it back to normal, I had to press and hold the power button to turn it off.
This crazy problem happened for the first time last summer, a dead hard disk was the cost. Apple replaced it, but failed to detect the cooling or power or display problem. I was given one month extended free service, but right after its end, the problem was back and happened even more often.
Please let me know if any of you had the same problem and please advise what to do.
100s Gs of thanks.

I have the EXACT same problem. In fact, I could not have described it better myself. What gives? I brought it in to the "genius" bar and they repolaced the power supply free of charge but the problem is still there. I noticed they ordered a new logic board but did not end up replacing it after all. Did you have yours replaced and did it work? Is this a known issue?

Hi La teller,
Thank you for your reply. The 'genius' here in London only replace the dead hard disk, which I belive was a victim of this problem. I was told they couldn't find anything wrong with the power supply or the cooling system.
Now at lest I know I am not the only bad luck guy. Let's wait and see if others are having the same problem. I am not sure if this is a known issue to Apple, even if it is, it may take years before they can offer a recall or free repaire. I noticed that some G5s have already been suffering from power problems and a free repaire was offered.
Thank you again and hope Apple can take our concerns into their consideration soon.

Hello,
I'm also having this problem (fan running, won't come out of sleep), just spoke with an apple care rep. He confirmed my suspition that it was software, not hardware as I have just had the logic board and power supply replaced.
His suggestions were to:
1. Run disk repair from the startup CD
try running OS X from a firewire drive and see if the same behavior happens or
perform and archive and install.
When the fan starts to run like that it means the OS is not communicating with the hardware properly. The OS could be somewhat corrupt if you were having hardware issues beforehand, hence the need for a reinstall. I will be performing an archive and install after the disk repair, I'll let you know if it fixes the problem!

Hi Stopha6,
Thank you for your message. I never imagined it could be a software issue, cos it looked so hardware.
Please keep me updated with your progress.
By the way, as I said in my old posts, a hard disk went dead when this happened for the very first time, how do you read this?
Thank you.

Hi Stopha6,
After reading your reply again, I realized that the system had already been reinstalled. As I said when it happened for the first time, the hard disk died with it, which was replaced, of course with a new OS X, but the same problem is still happening. May this suggest that it is not just a software problem? Thank you. Songyan

The Fans going at full is only because you have an application that is using a lot of cpu power and therefore causing the imac to heat up so it turns the fans on. The screen-saver and sleep problem you describe sounds like something that may just happen on accident. But this sounds mostly like a software problem. Try making sure to always quit all non-apple products and see if anything changes.

Thank you, Ag-Nate. I will try as you adivised but I con't think the fans were activeted my intensive CPU using. In most of the cases, the problems happened when the Mac was sleeping, when the minimum CPU were being used.

"The Fans going at full is only because you have an application that is using a lot of cpu power and therefore causing the imac to heat up so it turns the fans on."
That's only partly right. A hard-working process will make the fans run at high speed, of course.
But, the OS is in touch with the firmware of the iMac, telling it how to run the fans, based upon information the OS X kernel is getting about the state of the hardware.
If the firmware loses touch with the OS for some reason, and is not getting instructions on how to run the fan, it will default to running them at full blast, to be on the safe side (and this "full blast" fan mode is way louder than anything you'll generally experience during normal usage, I know from experience).
So it may not be so simple as a hard-working cpu process kicking the fans on.

Hi I have a 20" G5 imac it's about 18 months old and I am having the same problem, It freezes and the fan runs really loud. It's nothing to do with software as my I.T. guy has done a complete re-install. All of our admin people have imacs of differring ages and the flat panels are all OK but every one of the G5s has had a booting problem. Some fell into the recall for replacement logic boards but the one I have at home is the newest and doesn't. I'm waiting for my apple reseller to get back to me, but it looks like it's the logic board and as none of the serial numbers fall into the recall, I'm expecting a big bill. I'm really disappointed as I've been a professional apple user for over 15 years and have grown to expect a certain amount of honesty and integrity from them. Looking at all of the discussion boards and the amount of people complaining of the same problem the logic boards are defective and apple should be replacing these free of charge.

I am having a very similar problem. My G5 imac has already had the logic board replaced from the leaking capacitor problem. 8 mos. later the power supply was replaced under the second recall program when it failed to start up.
It had been working now for almost a year, when about 3 mos. ago I started to experience the sudden dimming effect - if the display was untouched the screen would dim about 30% similar to a laptop in energy save mode. I checked and none of these types of options were set in the pref panes. At the same time I would have the iMac go to sleep after a while from non-use, and then when I tried to wake it it would stir for a few seconds and then go right back to sleep. It took 2-3 attempts to wake it up.
Then last week, as I tried to wake it, it just shut down instead completely. I had to hold the power button down to recycle it to get it to come back to life (3 times).
Today was it - I found what I thought was a sleeping iMac, but it will not power up at all. I opened the back cover and the power supply is working, but I cannot get the board to energize, I reset the PMU, but the #2 LED won't even blink. It is completely dead.
Basically every time I used this computer I held my breath that it would not work. After 2 recalls I still only get 9 mos. out of it? Apple is really starting to show it is like the "big" computer makers, the quality is going right down the tubes.

Display Problem with my Mac Pro and LG Flatron Wide Monitor in Mountain Lion

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mac Pro has display problems with my LG Flatron display. The image is displayed with a black bar on the right and on the bottom. And the left side of the content is not visible. I tried every resolution available in the Display System Preferences, they are different in terms of how big the black bars are, and what part is not visible, but none of them are correct. I held down the option key to try to detect displays or switch to resolutions that are not normally available. When I restart the image is lined up with the display, but if the display ever goes to sleep or gets turned off, the image reverts to being off center, and the only way I can get it back is to restart... The interesting thing is that this monitor works fine with the same machine if I reboot using BootCamp into Windows 7. The Monitor also works fine, connecting the same connector to a Mac Mini, although that mac mini is running 10.6 and not Mountain Lion. I've reset the SMC and restarted countless times, I don't see any other levers to pull or things to try...

That card is for a PC it may not give you Startup and Option-Boot screens.
The 7950 "Mac Edition" card has a very distinctive look:
