How can I adjust contrast on Apple Support Sites, etc.

I have a great problem with Apple web content.  Even this attempt to type my question is plagued by the same issue: There is not enough contrast between the letters I just typed, and their back ground.   A big problem for me, as it seems the font color chosen by this apple web page and its background color chosen by this webpage, are creating an almost impossible eye strain and are terrible for people suffering from various forms of eye disease such as cataracts, makular degeneration, etc.  I am one of them.  I use Zoom for most of my computer work and generally can do everything  on my Mac. Except change this lack of contrast on any website created by Apple web designers.  Apple Update sites urging me to change my OS to Yosemite are completely  unreadable to me!  I need somebody to read its faded print to me.   I dread to change to an OS that I probably cannot read because some web designer who want to design a contrast combination that is more "far out" than the previous one.  There are millions having such eye diseases and computers are one way to let them enlarge and see things needed for their continued function.  Contrast settings in Accessibilty  Preferences do not alleviate the problem as they simply seem to make the screen brighter if increased.
Is there any Application that would let me change the contrast settings of a website designed by Apple?

Thanks for the hep I will contact the suggested Apple site.  As a guy who worked with Apple computers since they were black and white pack-backs its nice  to know that I am not the only one to notice that there is a big problem here. 
I experimented again with the Accessibility Preferences/Contrast settings on my MacBook Air, and discovered that If I slide the indicator to the right to "Enhance Contrast", the opposite happens on my screen: I have less contrast so that grey fonts wash out into the white back-ground more and more as the pointer is moved to the right. 
I never had to adjust the settings since I bought the MacBook with OS 10.6, and its function could have been reversed by OS upgrades since then o my present OS 10.8.5, or it could have been a problem since I bought the computer (used) from my Apple dealer. 
I never had to adjust the contrast settings until now, since my eyes became weaker, and the Apple websites started using fonts of too similar a color to the background they are printed on.
So with that in mind it could be a hardware problem such as a reversed +/- wiring connection to the screen, a reversed diode on the motherboard, or a short in the diode wiring, a reversed OS code setting that reverses the direction of the contrast setting for its control.
It could also be Malware or a Virus, which has not been detected by the OS, nor the latest Norton on my Macbook Air..

  • New iOS 7 is very difficult to see screens. How can you adjust contrast?

    I upgraded my iPhone to iOS 7. How can I improve the contrast on all the screens and apps. Most screens are all white or very light with smaller text and I can barely see anything, especially when out in the sun.  Is there a setting to change or a way to improve the contrast? 

    Settings -> General-> Accessibility -> Increase Contrast
    You can also turn on the setting for Bold Text. Those two options should help at least somewhat.
    Regards.

  • How can I stay logged into Apple Support

    Is there any way that I don't have to re-enter my password each time I want to use Apple Support?  When I go to use Support, my ID is entered automatically but the password has to be put in.
    Thanks for any advice.

    I opened up Keychain in Utilities and double clicked on the link in question.  It opened up as shown in the attached. I then tried to click on 'show password'
    and the top box opened up.  I tried entering my present iMac password but it wouldn't accept it.  Any hints at this point?
    I do appreciate you hanging in here in what is turning out to be a lengthy thread.  Cheers/Bill

  • How can I adjust the brightness of my old Apple 24" LED Display?

    How can I adjust the brightness of my old Apple 24" LED Display?

    Jacob,
    Thank you for the quick response. I opened both the TIFF and the EPS in Illustrator. I used the Eyedropper tool to get the CMYK values of the color of the text part in the TIFF, then I went back to the EPS and selected the text and input the CMYK values in the color tab. I know it's not precise, but it's close enough. Could I have done this better?
    Yes, I have access to Photoshop but I haven't tried using it with vector files. I am really new to graphic design and I need all the help I can get. Thank you!

    How can I adjust text size in ibooks dictionary?

    Hello Eoradec2012,
    It sounds like you are using the Define function in iBooks and you are wanting to increase the size of the font on the page showing the definition. The size of that text can be controlled in the Text Size section:
    To adjust the font size, follow these steps:
    Go to Settings > General > Text Size.
    Drag the slider to the preferred size. The text on the screen will adjust as you move the slider.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The Apple TV doesn't officially support a DVI connection, however you may be able to get it to work. You will first need to check that your TV supports either 720p or 1080p as well as HDCP. If you are able to get the video working over the DVI connection, you may also require a DAC in order to connect with Apple TV's optical audio output to the TVs audio imput.
    You may well wish to make sure that the DVI connection works before spending any money on a DAC..

  • I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong.  How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

    I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong.  How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

    If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter.  If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
    How large a date change are you putting in?  iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time.  If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
    If that is not the case:
    Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
    ---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.
    Let me know the results.

    how can i play iTunes on apple tv from my mac?  i used to have an icon that synced the two but i can't find that icon anymore

    If you are using the 2nd or 3rd gen Apple TV (little black box) then it would have no syncing or storage capability.
    iTunes content would be accessed using home sharing.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you mean iPhoto on your phone use AirPlay if your phone supports mirroring, if you mean iPhoto on your computer, you can't do it from your phone.
