I had a cracked screen and I got a replacement Iphone 4 yesterday. The colors appear washed out and muddy looking.

I took my Iphone 4 to an Apple retail store. It had a cracked screen and I got and out warrantee replacement for $149. Everthing works but the display is subpar. The wallpaper and images appear muddy yellow and the colors appear washed out.
Can I exchange it for another one?

Hi Mario,,,,
I tried everything in your reply,,, thank you again,, I had done that once before and all was working great,,
I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
Please advise,???
I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???
Thank you again

Since installing yosemite the colors are washed out and whenever I restart the machine it reverts to the yosemite screensaver even though i have set a different desktop picture.

Since i installed yosemite, the some parts of the screen can hardly be seen and whenever I restart the desktop display reverts back to the yosemite screensaver which I have never selected. Do i need to reinstall or what.

Color is washed out and the type is fuzzy

The color on my HP Pavillion 15 Notebook PC appears washed out. In addition, despite trying several settings on the "clear type", my type seems to be fuzzy nd difficult to read. I've already tried adjusting the color on the advanced settings to no avail. As an example, if there is a box surrounding this post area, I cannot see it. I'm really frustrated and ready to return this after fighting with it for over a month.

My touch died and I got a replacement from Apple. I restored from backup, and it installed all my apps. My iBank and Docs to Go will not set up to sync. In both cases, when I enter the numbers it says they are incorrect. They aren't.

My iPod Touch died, and I received a replacement from Apple. I restored it from my last backup, using iTunes. This reinstalled my apps as well. These included iBank Mobile and Documents to Go. I have the desktop versions on my MacBook. When I attempted to sync I was directed to install the device. OK. In both cases, I get to the point where I am instructed in type in the numbers from the iPod screen into the desktop to set up the sync. When I do, i get an error code in Docs to Go, and "the number is incorrect" from iBank. I tried deleting and reinstalling the mobile app for iBank with the same results. Help please.

When you restore one device from a backup of another device, keychain items like passwords are not restored unless you used an encrypted backup.
Try logging into the two apps. Next I would try deleting the apps and redownload resetup the apps.

Adobe Reader docs appear washed out and faint with Firefox 6.0.1, but not with Internet Explorer. Running Windows 7

The PDF docs opened in Firefox are very light and the color of print is multicolored shaded. Different parts of display different shades of any color but black. Just loaded newest Adobe Reader, did not help. Previously running Reader 9. Haven't had a problem till Firefox 6. If I fool with the Window Color in 7 I can effect the PDF doc. Lowering saturation level to nothing helps, but doesn't fix problem.

The colors appear more vibrant and redder ONLY on Photoshop

Hello! For a long while I've had a problem with my Photoshop CS5.
I had bought Photoshop CS5 and using it on two computers, the older one I usually use more often, it works about perfectly. But on my working laptop my Photoshop shows the colors
differently:
As you can see, how the colors should look like is on the right, how Photoshop twists the colors on the left.
However, once I save the picture, the colors looks like they should (on the right) but not seeing them correctly when editing and manipulating the picture, causes a lot of problems for me and I have no idea how to fix it. It's RBG (At the moment for the web, but when actually working, then with CMYK).
I've tried many different color settings and God knows what and nothing seems to work.

here, the bottom image has a moderate saturation boost
but you don't include the Doc Profile in the middle image
(and i don't know what app that is, if it is color-managed, if it actually CONVERTING to the Monitor Profile)
and you are using the sRGB targets (not the WhackedRGB target)
moreover, your uploaded image (yOznPEp.png) doesn't contain an embedded profile, so it's anyone's guess what you are seeing
but i captured the original sRGB target above yours
i guess your middle image is unmanaged or not fully managed because my 10/10/10 black wedge is darker in your "correct" middle version
if Photoshop is not displaying proper saturation with the settings I recommended, then your monitor profile is off
there is a ton of search hits on how to calibrate and setup a window's monitor for photoshop
at this point i don't know what else to add except to start slugging it out...

I have a new MBP with high-res display, and the color seems washed out compared to my old MBP. Is this normal?

Putting the two laptops side by side, blacks on my old machine look dark grey on the new one. I also have 24" and 27" cinema displays, and the new high res laptop display looks washed out in comparison.
I have tried to recalibrate the screen color settings, but this doesn't seem to make much difference.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
David.

Yes, the gamma settings are the same on all 4 displays (my two laptops and the two displays).
After a little experimentation, I think that it's down to the brightness of the high resolution display. It would seem that it is slightly dimmer than the low-res one on my other 15" MBP, so I think that Apple have set the default colour profile to be slightly washed out to compensate. If I use the same profile on the high-res MBP screen as on the low-res MBP screen, then the colour is much better.
The cinema displays are a lot better than the laptop displays, but I was expecting the new high-res display to be as good as the old low-res one - especially as I paid a lot more money for it!
Ah well! I think I might take it into the store and just check that it is the norm for this...
Thanks for your help.

If I save my Ai file as PDF the colors become washed out.. What is it and how do I change it? I've searched the web for it for hours..

Heres an image of the result.

As for the resolution problem: upsampling an image doesn't improve its quality, because there's simply not enough information there.
As for the warning you get: it's most likely caused by RGB color mode or by placed RGB content that interacts with other content in the file (e.g. because you applied transparency)
In English it's this one:
As far as I see it there's no alternative to learning the basics of printing, color management and transparency. This is nothing that can be done by some forum posts.
Printing:
http://rufus.deuchler.net/2011/06/adobe-publishes-a-new-creative-suite-555-printing-guide. html
You need to understand what's happening on conversion of RGB to CMYK color space, which will happen when printing to offset presses. When you print on office printers, something else happens and all kinds of color may come out, because these machines sometimes do their own color correction and everything depends on how you set up the machine.
Provided you check the PDF in Acrobat: you need to set up color management there as well. This might lead to the differences (greenish) you're seeing.
Find a good book on color management and read the manual:
Creative Suite * Understanding color management (there's more about the subject)
As for transparency:
http://partners.adobe.com/public/asn/en/print_resource_center/Transparency-DesignGuide.pdf
http://partners.adobe.com/public/asn/en/print_resource_center/TXPGuide.pdf
Before sending files to a print service provider you need to get information on how they need the file. Most providers won't accept PDFs generated with "No color conversion". Or they won't guarantee for the output.
What you see on your monitor won't necessarily match the printed result unless your system is correctly calibrated and color management set up. And even then there might be differences.
Can't you contact this former colleague, pay him an amount of money and let him teach you the tools of the trade?

I tried to update my iPad 2 to ios 5. It starts out fine and once its done, it tells me the network connection timed out and that I should try again, even thought I have internet. How do I update my iPad without it doing that?

I need help updating my iPad to ios 5, without it telling me that the network connection timed out.

You can download the correct iOS upgrade manually to your computer and then apply it to your iPad using the iTunes app on your computer. After you have downloaded the correct upgrade press the Option/Alt key and click on the Check for Update button in the iTunes app. Browse to the file on your computer, select it and iTunes will do the rest to install it.

My Macbook Pro *****! I have had it for 2 weeks now, got it brand new at the apple store, it freezes all the time, and reboots itself, sometimes when i start it, purple dots cover the screen and i have to hold the power button.

I have had it for 2 weeks now, got it brand new at the apple store, it freezes all the time, and reboots itself, sometimes when i start it, purple dots cover the screen and i have to hold the power button. a 2 week old computer is not supposed to do this! it wastes all its time being so flashy that it just craps out all the time. sometimes i feel like i should have stayed with my virus covered PC. at least when it shut down randomly you could turn it back on, but with the macbook pro, it just keeps restarting itself over and over. need help with this, any answers?

Here's a novel thought. Take it back to the vendor. Should have done that one week ago.
