HT3488 how do I fix inverted screen on my imac 10.4

Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences, click on the Seeing tab, turn off White on Black, and drag the Contrast slider all the way to the left.

  • How can I fix the screen in my iMac G3?

    I bought a 2000 Ruby iMac at a yard sale for $25. It runs great except for a 4x4 section in the bottom left corner is stuck on a green tinge, and everything fades to a pinkish purple on the right side. I re-callibrated the colors in system preferences, but that didn't work. Is there anything else I can do to fix it?

    Without seeing the image it is difficult to be certain. Two possibilities come to mind - one is that the iMac was left in the presence of a strong magnetic field for a long time, in which case sufficient time will fix the problem on its own. The iMac's CRT de-gausses itself every time it powers up. If it had been in storage for a long time I think this is a likely cause, and since fixing it involves doing nothing, the easiest to address!
    If it doesn't get better I would suspect the iMac was dropped or otherwise abused such that the CRT is in need of alignment, something that is performed when it was assembled and never intended to be perfomed ever again. From what I understand that is an incredibly tedious exercise, generally considered not worth the effort.
    Here is a website that may be useful: http://home.earthlink.net/~strahm_s/manuals.html
    There is a display adjustment utility that may be applicable to  your needs, but it appears to predate OS X. It might run in Classic. Also see if the iMac can boot OS 9.
    Another possibility is to find another iMac with a compatible monitor, given away or sold for reasons other than a bad CRT.
    Good luck!

    - 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.

  • How to fill the whole screen of my iMac with the photos included in an iDVD project. (iDVD v. 7.1.2)

    How to fill the whole screen of my iMac with the photos I included in an iDVD project. (iDVD v. 7.1.2). I mean, during playing the burned dvd.
    When I do "Enter Full Screen", the slide show fills the screen but the photo itself remains in the middle with a wide black border filling the rest.
    Any cure for this ?

    Hi
    In iDVD Preferences - Turn off - TV-Safe area - and the Photos will fill the full area with just letterboxing or pillars as max.
    Then "Save as a DiskImage" and test this and see if this plays better - before burning DVDs that's not as You want them.

  • How do i fix my screen?

    how do i fix my ipod touch 4 g ios  screen?

    I've been having problems with my Ipod fo rmonths now. It just stopped on day and isn't responsive. The screen is black and when I press the home/start buttons nothing happens. Only the Voice Over comes on and says 'Ipod Touch Image'. I don't know what's wrong.
    I tried updating the software and restoring. But the restoring doesn't work. I may just have to buy a new one, but didn't want to. Maybe I should call tech support as well.

    There are two different resets. The reset you did involved holding the sleep/wake & home button.

  • How do I fix this - my 24 inch imac indicates its screen is 16.5 inch

    My 24 inch iMac began displaying everything much bigger than normal today.  The system preferences display resolution is set to 1280 x 800 which is normal, but in Displays under the About this Mac it says the display is 16.5 inches.
    What happened? And how do I fix this?

    Click on the Desktop, select Help->Mac Help->search for ZOOM and you'll probably find that you've inadvertently activated an Universal Access setting.

    Please help me to fix grey screen with ? Mark blinking thanks

    The support article linked below is somewhat outdated. Where it refers to starting up from an installation disc, you should instead start up in Recovery mode.
    If you don't have a current backup of all the data on the startup volume, and you want to preserve that data, then you must try to back up before you do anything else. Ask for instructions if you need them.
