Fields appear grey instead of light blue

I have a user (using Acrobat X) that when she opens a pdf form she sees the fields in grey. Even though she changes the settings in Prefernces to light blue, it defaults back to grey.

Hey George .. just got back from the user's desk. Here's what I can report and maybe that'll make things clearer. I open Adobe Acrobat x pro - go into prefernces, then forms and select light blue. click ok and then I can open the document with a light blue field. I can successfully do this multiple times .. however, when I close Adobe and re-open it the default color is pink ( which gives nmeme a grey field again). The user sauid any other peerson in her area can open those same documents with no color issue. Any suggestions? Is there a location in the registry that can change the default color to make it stick?

Firefox highlights search boxes in light blue and I cannot see what I'm typing. How do I fix this?

Recently firefox started highlighting the background color in search boxes/fields (ie. google) in a light blue color and I cannot see what I'm typing in the field. Please help.
Thanks.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

MacBook Pro Repeatedly Loads Purple & Teal Stripe, Gray, Light Blue, Bright Blue and Bright Blue Stripe Screens Instead of OS after Optical Drive Replacement by Apple (PICTURES INCLUDED)

17 inch March 26-29 (order date – shipping date) 2011 MacBook Pro, 256GB Solid State Drive, 2.3 GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, 1 processer, 4 Cores, 256 KB L2 Cache per core, 8 MB L3 Cache, 8 GB Memory (8GB 1333MHZ DDR3 SDRAM - 2X4GB), AMD Radeon HD 6750M Video Card, Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 512 MB total of VRAM. 110 GBs of free/unused disk space remaining.
Full Specs are in subsequent post.
The issues described in the title continue even after I’ve reinstalled the operating system twice (Snow Leopard) and installed Mavericks (which is working fine and even faster). I’ve tried many commands to repair this.
If anyone has experienced any of the symptoms above or below, your advice and response will be much appreciated as well as marked. These are the details:
My Early 2011 MacBook Pro has had the typical blue screens, screen freezes and graphics issues since I bought it about three years ago but nothing like this and NEVER any load issues until about a month ago. That was when my superdrive replacement was put in.
Since then my MacBook Pro will go into hard freezes or kernel panics. Then I’ll have to power it down manually and power it up manually. It’ll then refuse to load the OS until after multiple tries. It started out just 2 or 3, then 4 or 5, then 6-12, then 20. Now it takes over 30 boots to load the OS. These boot issues also occur even if it doesn’t freeze, i.e.: when I shut it down or restart it naturally (via the Apple menu, etc.).
95% of the time it’ll load to a gray screen instead of the OS. 4% of the time it’ll load to a light blue screen. Then there are the others: the first time this happened it loaded to the striped purple and teal screen shown in the picture. This happened the next four times then intermittently for about 5 or so more times.
It also loaded gray flickering screens. Flickering screens also occurred right before it froze and had to be manually powered down and up. Then it began to load regular gray and light blue screens and all flickering screens stopped. And then bright blue screens a couple times intermittently for a few days, sometimes with lines. Sometimes it’ll load to a blank/black screen as well. I’d reset the NVRAM and SMC but it still continued, happening multiple times a day, each time taking more and more hard shut downs and hard power ons to finally load the OS.
Until I installed Mavericks, every time it finally loaded the OS Finder began indexing. After Mavericks this has occurred 95% of the time.
After talking to Apple Support they had me do a NVRAM and SMC reset again over the phone. The MacBook Pro refused to load the entire time we were on the phone. After the call it got worse. It froze over 6 times that day and at worse took over 30 boots to load the OS.
I finally had time to deal with it the next day when it froze again. After over 25 boots it loaded and I put in the Snow Leopard OS dvd and ran Disk Utility. I verified the hard drive and it said it was fine. Repaired the disk anyway and it gave this message at the end:
“Updating boot support partitions for volume required”.
Next I tried to start in safe mode and it just hung up for hours. Then started up in single mode and it loaded the OS. It then loaded normally for three times in a row. I reinstalled Snow Leopard. Everything loaded normally. I waited an hour or so and then I downloaded Mavericks. 5 or so hours later Mavericks was installed. Everything hardware wise was fine for a day and all software issues were easily fixable incompatibilities. My Mac was even faster with Mavericks. However, Photoshop did give a perhaps relevant message:
“Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturer’s website for the latest software.
GPU enhancements can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences.”
(I have OpenGL enabled in Photoshop and it was already checked when this error occurred).
Two days ago I went to Disk Utility to repair permissions while logged in to a non-admin account. Verified and repaired the disk, then verified permissions. Everything fine. After repairing permissions however, it gave a weird error box:
"Unapproved caller, SecurityAgent may only be invoked by Apple software".
The box stayed “stuck” in the Disk Utility window. My MacBook Pro then failed to do anything. I manually powered it down and up. It loaded to a gray screen with the error message box again: "Unapproved caller, SecurityAgent may only be invoked by Apple software".
It then refused to load anything else but this message box on a gray screen even after rebooting it multiple times in safe, verbose and single modes and after resetting the NVRAM and SMC. I went online with an iPad and entered in the error and got some advice. I tried to run fsck and erase the /var/folders/ via single user mode but it still loaded to a gray screen with the error message. I just decided to skip to the end and Cmd-R loaded into recovery mode and reinstalled Mavericks again. That worked: the message has not appeared since.
Some people have said this error is related to a hard drive cable failure. I know that this cable was tampered with during the optical drive replacement procedures because I watched them do it.
Everything was fine for a day. Then yesterday my MacBook Pro froze while trying to open a VLC file. It took 12 boots to load the OS. I tried single mode once and verbose mode once. 10 times it loaded to gray screens, even in those mode. A Safe boot lead to a bright blue screen. Finally reset the SMC and it loaded on the 12th time.
Just five hours ago the same thing happened except it took over 30 boots to load the OS. Single, verbose and normal boots, NVRAM and SMC resets lead to gray screens. Safe boots lead to bright blue screens with and without lines (see pictures). Finally loaded on a normal boot.
I know I should have tried safe booting, verbose, single and recovery modes, disk utility, fsck and other command methods earlier this month but in the end, these methods have not solved the problem anymore than resetting the NVRAM or SMC.
There seems to be conclusive evidence that it’s a hardware problem, stemming from last month, the FIRST AND ONLY time my MacBook Pro was opened up. Maybe it’s the hard drive cable, but it could also be the graphics card and/or logic board (something that’s always been defective on this MacBook Pro, in my opinion). Many early 2011 MacBook Pro owners have given evidence to the latter possibility online.
The first time it started it seemed to stem from me using iPhoto and Photoshop a lot. I had both running continuously for about two weeks. This is another reason for suspecting the graphics card/logic board is at fault (in addition to three years of screen/graphics glitches). And since the card is soldered to the board and the board connected to the cable...I also have serious battery draining issues, something else that got bad after the Apple Superdrive repair. And the battery is connected to the board...
Also, since downloading Mavericks, windows from every app get blurry/fuzzy when I scroll or zoom in. I have read that this is happening to a lot of folks though for various reasons.
I guess it could always be the hard drive. I just don’t know. I’m taking it in to Apple, but can't right away because it’s not local. I know they’ll be able to run a test on the hard drive. I wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem (especially the purple and teal striped screen) before they start poking around, possibly creating another problem that goes beyond my Apple Care Plan allotment.

IPhone 4S iOS 7.1 reduce transparency ugly light grey instead of dark

Does anyone know why reduce trancparency in dock & folders background has such an ugly light grey instead of the pretty dark one that appears on the screenshots about it (I guess they are from the iPhone 5)?
That's ridiculous, it looks so ugly with the light grey...
Maybe Apple doesn't want iPhone 4/4s users to use it to make the phone a bit faster, so they don't get frustrated enough and don't upgrade to iPhone 5? Unbelievable...
Look at the difference between the two (it's actually even uglier when you open or just see a folder):

Because Apple changed it. Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

I like the light grey better myself.

IMac - I get a black, grey, light blue or white screen sometimes

This has never happened to me before.
I wasn't doing anything unusual (browsing the web) when suddenly my screen turned all black. I tried to do all possible things, like putting the computer to sleep, hit random keys, or wait a while, but finally I had to restart.
I'm not sure why this happened and was hoping it would happen again.
I started a game and then, suddenly, the same thing happened, but with a grey screen. As you can see, this grey screen also has vertical lines:

After restarting the computer, I launched the game again. A minute after starting it, the image of the game started to go crazy, until the screen turned all light blue, with the vertical lines again:
http://imageshack.us/a/img703/7276/img7247t.jpg
A few seconds later it turned white:

Does anyone know what the problem is with my Mac? Why does this happen? I thought it may be related to the game, but the first time when it went black, I was browing the web. I hope it isn't some kind of Virus. I know they're rare on Mac, but you never know.
I'm mentioning this because yesterday or so I downloaded an app, which is the Sendspace Wizard. Basically it's a tool to upload files to Sendspace.com. It's by far the most honest file sharing service I had used, and I've been using it for 5 years now. But you never know... I had to download this app because I have videos of a concert of a friend, it's 700 MB and this app continues broken downloads. One of the files is at 99% but it doesn't list it as finished, it's stuck there. It's very strange, I thought I should mention it as it may be related. Usually I don't like all those uploading serives etc.
Another thing I was thinking of: the Mac was pretty hot. Usually it only becomes hot when I play the game that I have. But this time I wasn't. I heard that when it's too hot, it shuts down itself. So I thought it already did while I was browing (for whatever reason, maybe because the Sendspace tool was uploading all day long already and thus the computer was tired?) and then as I launched the game it turned it off as well because it became even hotter.
Here the specs: iMac 27" Intel Quad Core i5 3.1 Ghz 32 GB RAM, OSX 10.8.2
All help is appreciated !!! Hope it's nothing serious

Anyone know? :(

Hello. Today, I was updating my iPod Touch 4th Generation to iOS 6. I unplugged the iPod when it was during the installation because it appeared to be frozen. Now the iPod is stuck at a light blue screen even after I reset it. How do I fix it?

You will need to do a DFU restore by holding the home and power buttons down (while the device is plugged in to your computer) until the device's screen goes black and as soon as the screen goes black, count down from 3 and release the power/sleep button, but keep holding down the home button. Then, iTunes will say the iPod needs to be restored. The restore process will take some time and even though the iPod may appear to be frozen, don't interrupt the restore.

Firefox always shows text fields in light blue. Can't fix it. Help plz. Hate using IE.

Some web text fields I can type in and I don't see the text just a light blue bar in the field. Other text fields I can see the text I type into them but all the text fields are always light blue. I tried un-installing and re-installing many times. On a fresh install the problem goes away for a day or two then it comes back and there is no way to get rid of it that I know of unless I reinstall. And that only fixes it for 24 to 48 hours or so. Here is a pic example http://exportofthevoiceless.com/misc/firefox-blue-text-bar.jpg

Can be caused by Comcast Constant Guard (Keystroke protection)

My play lists and songs on iTunes and on my iPhone won't play. They are light grey instead of black and nothing happens when I click on the songs. All of the songs were either from CD's or from iTunes that I purchased. I have home sharing turned on. This is a new issue. It used to work fine. I tried restarting my iPhone and syncing with iTunes. Neither worked. Please help!

Try delete those songs using iTunes by de-selecting and sync. After that mark those songs and sync again.

When creating a fillable form and saving it as a pdf, the default color of the data fields is a light blue. How do I change the color to something else that will copy better, e.g. a light yellow?

When creating a fillable form and saving it as a pdf, the default color of the data fields is a light blue. How do I change the color to something else that will copy better, e.g. a light yellow?

It's probably the fields highlight color of the application, which you can change via Edit - Preferences - Forms.

Why do I have a light blue screen randomly appear?

In the middle of using my MacBook, a light blue screen randomly appears. It disappears if I shut the screen and then open it again. It was happening every few months, now it's happening a couple of times a day.

Hi, got exacly the same problem, the screen turns light blue every now and then especially when watching a video on the internet and I can't shut it down. Well, I noticed that it was happening when the mac book pro had been running for a while and was particularly warm, then one day I pointed a fan towards the device to cool it down and after a few minutes internet came back. I do the same thing all the times the screen goes off and I always sort it out, it must be about overheating.

Function buttons are grey instead of blue?

When I open my messages and look at the edit function and new message function it's grey instead of blue. What does that mean?

The text with a function on a white background should be blue, and the background for the Edit function with the Messages app is white, so not sure what the text being gray means. I'm not aware of a setting that changes that.

My white mac book asked me to shut down and now it starts, plays the opening them tune and then has a light blue light... won't go any further. Help!

My Mac asked me to shut down unexepectedly yesterday and when it restarted, once it played the opening theme it gets stuck on a light blue screen. There is a slight noise from the back right hand corner, where the disc drive is. I cannot remember if there is a disc in ther... possibly. It is the old white Mac Book. Desperately hoping she hasn't gone to computer heaven!

Latest update, if it's left running for 5 mins or so, a grey question marks appears, flashes for a couple of mins and then it turns itself off.
