Finder has colors all messed up.

My problem is that when I log into the administrator account on my Aluminum iMac, all of the colors are messed up, and the screens looks like it was drawn from a comic book. This only affects the administrator account, when I log into the other accounts, the problem is non-existent. I recently installed the Facebook iPhoto exporter, would this be the problem, although I uninstalled and restarted.
Any help would be appreciated.
P.S. I tried to screen grab the desktop, but when I open the file on another user account, it appears normal.

Open the Universal Access system preference and see if the Display on the Seeing pane is set to White on Black. If it is, select Black on White and that should get your display back in order. Also make sure that the Enhance Contrast slider is set to "normal".
Hope this helps.

  • The last few times I've used headphones in my iPad, the audio has been all messed up to the extent where it's better to just use the internal speakers and not the headphones. I've tried multiple pairs of headphones to no avail. Help?

    The last few times I've used headphones in my iPad, the audio has been all messed up to the extent where it's better to just use the internal speakers and not the headphones. I've tried multiple pairs of headphones to no avail.
    The iPad was bought in mid-June, but I did not get extended Apple-Care warranty on it. Any idea of what's happenening?

    Multiple means how many? If only 2 or 3, they could all be faulty. Try the headphones in some other device, to make sure they are OK. Or there could be something wrong with the headphone port.
    Your iPad is still covered by the 1-year warranty so you should make a Genius appointment and have it looked at.
    Another thing to try is to plug in the headphone jack a few times in succession to see if it frees up something inside the port.

  • Colors All Messed Up, SERIOUS vid card/driver problem

    ok, so i'm just surfing the net tonight in firefox, nothing unusual, no other programs on except coreduotemp, which is reading at a steady 65-70 and all of a sudden, the colors on the screen went haywire. i could see the shapes, move the cursor around and read lettering, but the colors looked like 1 bit colors, like 10 total colors with no gradations and very very washed out!
    what the heck could be going on with my machine?
    so i tried to restart... same thing. everything would look normal until one second after mac os booted up, it'd revert to the weird willy wonka coloring. so i tried a complete shutdown and waited 30 minutes to see if it was a heat issue. same thing.
    then i tried booting to windows xp... it worked perfectly! the irony of it all.
    booted back into mac os. willy wonka again. so i went to systems preferences and tried to change resolution. still messed up. so i changed colors from "millions of colors" to "thousands". still messed up. but when i changed it to "256 colors" it looked almost normal again. no more willy wonka colors but now looks terrible, like i'm working on an old commadore 64.
    so i'm just going to take it back in tomorrow to the apple store and demand a new computer. i'm just curious to see if anyone else have had this issue or what the heck could be going on.
    MacBook 1.83GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    well, i just changed the RAM back to the stock 2x256 sticks. still the same problem.
    i've been trying to figure out if macs have an "update video driver" function like windows does. i even went to intel's site to see if i could download a new driver for macs, but no luck. (this is my first mac so i'm not familiar with how mac vid cards update their drivers).
    also did a system update, didn't change anything.
    ack, i'm so used to fixing my computer problems myself, this is really frustrating about mac so far...

  • My eyes failing, or has Jive been messing with the typographical color and contrast of text?

    Are my eyes failing more egregiously, am I having another one of my increasingly frequent senior moments, or has Jive been messing with the typographical color and contrast of text in the forums?
    For some reason, I'm noticing today a very weak gray text and diminished contrast between text and background?
    Monitors regularly and often calibrated with hardware pucks. 
    I had my eyes checked and new prescription glasses in the last few months, now I wondering what other tests I may need.  Or is it really Jive messing with us again?
    Thanks in advance.

    I hope you have slept well, my friend, and again find the forums to be as pleasurable to use as always.   
    Your screen grab seems exceptionally clear and contrasty to me, when shown at full-size.
    I have personally blocked typekit.com so as to avoid using the Adobe fonts entirely.  That seems to have helped me deal with this place better.
    Here's what Dave sees (his screen grab from above) vs. what I see here (mine's on bottom):
    Latest trouble for me is that for about the past week I have to log in every time I visit, regardless of the selection of [  ] Remember Me.  That's just a little too much trouble to go through to be at this wonderful place.  Sigh.

  • IPhoto has dissappeared off my laptop. Says it is installed, but cant find it. All photos gone

    iPhoto has dissappeared off my laptop. Says it is installed, but cant find it. All photos gone

    Do a Spotlight for "iPhoto.app" and see what yo get. If that fails download and run Find Any File to search for a file with "iPhoto.app" in the file name.
    FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages. If the application is hiding somewhere on your hard drive FAF will find it.

    Sounds like a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Recently my iMac has replaced (in finder, iPhoto, messenger) all my month dates with 'Jan'. Any ideas?

    My iMac has changed all my dates to 5 Jan 13 in iPhoto, finder and in Yahoo messenger archives.  Any ideas?  All other operating systems seem to be normal.

    Have you verified that the iPhoto applications is not in the Applications folder or somewhere else on the hard drive? 
    To do so download and use  Find Any File to search for "iPhoto.app" because FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't.  If the application is somewhere else on the HD FAF will find it.  However, I doubt that it will be there but it's worth a search.

  • Can I find out, with user has deleted all cost estimates with CKR1?

    Hi Community,
    ich have a major problem: all our standard material don't have a cost estimate any more, because a unknown user has deleted all current cost estimates. Can I find out, with user has used the CKR1 transaction? And much more importend: how can I solve the problem? Do I need to re-calculate all the material?
    Thanks for any idea and help
    PoD

    Hi,
    you have to make the costing run, marking, releasing again but thats not the whole work.
    If there are PP-orders that have been created based on the old/deleted plan cost estimates, the variance calculation will not work as the plan cost estimate is missing (even if the new one is released in the same period).
    Thus variance calculation is not possible for those orders... You have to settle the whole balance to receiver object by removing the variance key in PP-order. Try first for one particualr order to see if there are some other problems that need to be solved during month-end-closing.
    How to find out who has executed CKR1 (SAPCKR1): Check authorizations for (hopefully) a small number of user who are allowed to use CKR1.
    Use T-Code ST03N, in the left upper window double-click "total" (maybe click a day if you can imagine which (possible) date it was). In lower left section open "user and settlement statistics" and then click "user profile". Now go to each possible user and look for T-Code CKR1.
    This can be time-consuming but its worth a try...
    For the future: restrict CKR1 to a very small number of user (and they should be well trained...). I once had a company (with poor authorization concept) but CKR1 was blocked in SM01 and a ZCKR1 was created and in this Z-transaction USER-name was checked (if SY-USNAM...) so only the use names named in this Z-program were allowed to use ZCKR1. Not the best way but sufficient for them...
    Good luck, Christian

  • My iTunes account says error 13019 after it has recognized all of the music and I have tried everything that is on this website and everything i can find about how to fix it; I even created in under a new administrator. Any suggestions how to fix it?

    My iTunes account says "The iPod "Madison " cannot be synced. An unknown error has occured (13019)" after it has recognized all of the music and has went through every song and it said "Copying  (song)   to "Madison"....." and then after it has went through all of my songs (492) it says the error message. I have tried everything that is on the Apple iTunes website about it, I have created the music account under a new administrator, I've tried everything. What do i do?

    I found something that worked.  I had never come across "recovery mode," but found reference to it, how to do it. http://www.ichilton.co.uk/blog/iphone/getting-the-iphone-ipod-touch-into-recover y-mode-48.html
    Put the ipod touch in recovery mode and then restored it, setting it up as a new Ipod, rather than restoring from the backup.  Given how much trouble I'd had, I suspected that the backup might be corrupted anyway.
    That seems to have resolved everything completely.

  • How to find the select statement has written all selected values into text

    Hi,
    I am using form6i. i am selecting a set of values from database tables based upon some user parameters and writing into the text file using Text_io.put_line . In this case how we can make sure that the text fille contains all the data what we are selected from selected statement. somebody told that there might be chances of aborting of data while writing into the text file. is there any way to fild out the selected statements has written all the selected fields and corresponding output into the .txt file.
    Please suggest me.

    somebody told that there might be chances of aborting of data while writing into the text fileWhat kind of "chance" does that somebody refer to?
    If you want to verify if the number of records (lines) in the file matches the number of records from the cursor, you could re-open the written file in read-mode and count the number of lines by reading one by one, then compare the number of lines with the number of records from the cursor.
