Everything I see in Apple TV is black and white

I have recently bought the Apple TV with the Airport extreme which worked perfectly until I went to listen to videos and movies.
Everything I see is in black and white. Even the main menu is.
Apple TV -> TV using :
XtremeMac XtremeHD Component Video Cable for Apple TV (from apple store) - (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/canadastore.woa/6724004/wo/2X6K EnHW4SSF2jfISqD1EPCx2np/12.0.28.7.5.7.3.4.3.3)
Connected to my JVC TV in the component area (TV is : http://www.jvc.ca/en/consumer/archived-product-detail.asp?model=AV-27230)
I replaced the cables with cheap Video/Audio L-R and having the same issue.
Anyone up for the challenge?
Thanks in advance!

Are you saying it was in colour until you tried playing back movies etc? If so, then it may be a fault on the TV or AppleTV - doy you have a friend or relative with a component enable TV to test the AppleTV on? Also check your TV manual to see if theer are any adjustable settings for the component input.
If it's never been in colour:
Firstly the specs for the TV say it has one component input - these should be coloured red/green/blue (if not are they labelled anything else) and located at the back of the TV or at the side from the picture.
I assume you are not connecting to the AV input (yellow/red/white) at the front (it has been done before).
Assuming all connections are secure and correct try changing the resolution in the Settings menu in case this is too high for the TV and it does 'half a job' and shows things in Black and White.

Why is playback in black and white only

Photosmart 3210 only prints black and white??

Hi everyone,
I have an HP Photosmart 3210 that I just installed the lastest HP drivers onto my up to date macbook. Once finishing the install and completing the setup, I can only print in black and white / grey scale. Is this driver issue? Has anyone seen this before and can it be fixed?
Thanks!

Yes, this is a color printer and has 5 color cartridges and 1 black. All of them are full except for one which happens to be magenta I believe. Anyway this printer works fine with a Windows XP desktop and prints in color. I'm not sure if it's a driver issue or the fact it is connected to an Airport Express.
As a test I hooked the macbook directly to the printer by a usb cable and it still prints black and white only. I checked the settings and see nothing defaulting to print black and white. Also, now that I have this hooked up to the airport, now the Windows XP box will only print in black and white. This is really weird and think it's either an OS X issue or HP mac printer dirver issue.
Any other ideas?

Color area in a black and white photo.

Hi there,
Here's a quick and easy video tutorial for removing all but one area of color:

Black and White and Title screens don't save

Hi,
i have a problem with Premiere Pro CS3.
I am currently editing a color film and have applied the black and white effect to most of the scenes. At a certain point the program seems to have no capacity for that effect anymore. Half of the film stays black and white when saving, closing the program and opening the file again, but the other half is still displayed in color. I checked the effects of those scenes. the black and white effect is still applied, but it doesn't work, the scene is displayed in color.
Furthermore some Title screens get lost after a save. They show the "media offline" picture. When double clicking them, the correct title window is displayed, but it is not correctly shown in the film.
I tried to save other stuff like shortening the film and it works fine.
Can you help me? What went wrong? What do I do wrong?
Greets,
florian

hmm interesting
i tried to import the project into a new project. what happend is the following:
i had a new folder in the project window (maybe what you call PP. i don't know, because i have got the german version). that folder contains whole film from the other project called "Sequenz 01" and all the other root files. the interesting thing is: after importing the project, i see it with an applied black and white effect and also all the title screens are inserted and shown correctly.
problem solved ..... i thought.
saving the new project results into the same problem as before. when re-opening the project part of the film (only the last couple of scenes) is in color again and the title screens don't now their root.
note: i tried to export the film and see whether the exported .avi or .mpg is also erroneous. sadly, thats the case
i don't think its a machine-level error, because i tried it on three machines already.
all machines had vista, intel core 2 duo 2400mhz, graphics intel q965/963 express chipset family
what do you mean by "input/output setup"?

This is supposed to happen, licensing issue mean that Apple can't AirPlay protected content to other devices. You might try VLC instead of Apples built in DVD player.

HT4356 How do I AirPrint in black and white from my iPad so I do not waste the color ink unnecessarily? I never see the option to choose printing in black and white.

How do I AirPrint in black and white from my iPad2 wifi/3G so I do not waste the color ink unnecessarily? I never see the option to choose printing in black and white. I have an Epson Workforce 845 printer.

There is no option to force black and white ouput.

Apple tv in only black and white

I just got an Apple TV, and I can't get it to show color; it is only in black and white. I have tried putting the red yellow and white cables in everywhere that they would really connect..anyone else have and fix this problem by any chance?

yes but
component cables are normaly 1 cable with 3 connectors in each end
rather then 3 cables
hdmi is 1 cable with everything
it all comes down to what your tv support
if it dont have component or hdmi you will never
get it in colour unless you buy a converter
hdmi is the best image quality

I made some amendments to my colour settings in PS CS5 and now everything prints black and white. Please help me to reset all the settings to default

I made some amendments to my colour settings in PS CS5 and now everything prints black and white. Please help me to reset all the settings to default. This was after I tried to implement the steps set out in Real World Photoshop CS5. I stuggele to match the colours of my two screens, the one a laptop and the other a LCD and the printer, even after calibration with Spyder 3. Really lost at present.

Tap Settings / Wi-Fi. Tap the blue circle with an arrow to the right of your network then tap: Forget This Network.
Restart the iPad. Tap Settings / Wi-Fi. Tap the network name again then type in your password.
If that didn't help, try here > Apple - Support - iPad - Wi-Fi Assistant
And try turning off your router for 5 minutes, then turn it back on. Try typing in the password again.

I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo

I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo on it. Sounds about right, right? But now, there is a processing circle on top of the logo, but the circle spins once, and stops at about halfway to the bottom. It just stays there, and about every half to one hour it becomes a white screen and starts all over again. (not the loading bar part, just the circle). I've tried holding the power and the home button, and it works, but it just goes back to the circle screen with the apple logo. HELP PLEASE?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT204135 This is my first iMac. How come everything I print is in black and white? I have an HP Photosmart and it prints in color just fine except when I print using the iMac.

Unlike my other computers where I can change the printer setup ( color, black and white, paper type etc) I don't see that option on the iMac. Is it called somethng else? I want to retire my old computer but can't until I can print in color.

Thank you, I did that, after I click "show details" I see where I can change the paper size, reverse print etc. but I'm not seeing an option to swtich to color. On my HP and IBM PC's I can click on printer properties and change the print quality, paper type ( e.g.photo), grayscale and such. Do you by chance know if this is not an available feature on iMacs or maybe my printer isn't iMac friendly?

Apple TV all of sudden displaying only black and white

My previously normally working Apple TV is now displaying only in black and white. The TV with any other source is in color. I haven't touched any of the cables or connections, and to be safe, I double checked them all. I did a 'factory reset' and it's still in black and white. Should I presume hardware malfunction? Any other ideas.

reset and after some delay suddenly working in color again

I have bought a Belkin composite cable from the apple store but the picture is black and white? The tv connection does require the red yellow white cables and that is the one I bought

I have bought a Belkin composite cable from the apple store but the picture is black and white? The tv connection does require the red yellow white cables and that is the one I bought? Can any one help

You have the iPhone in your profile, but people's profiles here are often incomplete or very outdated. It's better to be specific. And part of the problem is that I can't find any Belkin composite cables for connecting an iPhone to a TV, either on the Apple Store or the Belkin site. The closest I found is this Belkin video cable, which doesn't specify exactly what kind of connection it is.
For the most relevant assistance, you've got to post in the iPhone forum and specify the cable by providing a link to exactly which cable you're using.

Everything I see in Apple TV is black and white
