ICal 6 colours faded almost invisible

Over the past couple of weeks the colours on my Ical 6 have become almost indecipherable . washed out or invisible
For example  in the Monthly view the weeklong events are almost invisible unless one clicks on them which rather defeats the purpose of a calendar as one is faced with a blank page rather than a detailed breakdown of events.
any thoughts on how to rectify this?
thankyou in advance

Did anyone have you run the Apple hardware test? Find your original OS X CDs, and on one, likely the first one, it will say in small print 'AHT Version x.x' on the label. Insert it, and reboot holding the option key down. Choose the Apple hardware test, click the arrow to the right, and when prompted choose the extended test. If you have either of the TechTools programs, they can do a similar test. Does that high light any video, or other, issues?
Another thing you can try is to reinstall the latest combo release for the operating system. Sometimes that can clear up a software-related bug without having to install the entire operating system again. Long shot, won't hurt anything, but might help. The 10.5.4 combo update is at http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1054comboupdate .html , and if you want to update to a higher level, you can install higher level combo update, as the combo update contains all prior updates, within that version of the operating system, in this case Leopard.

  • On the right side of the br5owser there is a scroll bar, that scroll bar does not have any contrast and is almost invisible, can't find it ???

    Have seen some other questions similar to mine and they may be about same issue , but they say that the scroll bar vanishes, in effect it is still there but nearly invisible. Trying to click on it without knowing the exact location however causes the page to scroll uncontrolled. The other questions advised people to reset their browser to default but that didn't help at all. Have had this same issue for about the last 6 versions of firefox, all say in the 30s versions. Tried adding high contrast in Windows as an experiment but that didn't help at all either. Been trying help for some time and just now decided to ask my own question as other questioners may have given up or answerers may think it is resolved.
    In searching through help files it has led me to find a space based theme for the browser that I enjoy, but does not solve issue of course, so... all is not lost. Took a jpg of the image of the browser that shows the issue and am trying to upload it but looks like it is stuck in upload mode. Ugh "high speed" , anyhow maybe it uploaded and is not showing, the bar on the right is about 3/4 of the way down the side if you can see it, almost invisible.

    Did you try Firefox Safe Mode?

  • HELP!  My pages document is almost invisible!

    This is hard to explain... I did a bunch of posters on Pages last week. Yesterday, I upgraded to Snow Leopard, and when i went to open my pages Documents, they're almost invisible! The text blocks and the photos, etc, they're all there, but the only thing you can see is the deepest of the colors in the photo. It's almost like what I'm looking at is a super over-exposed version of what is supposed to be there.
    I tried opening another pages document and starting fresh, and the Green square I tried to build was also invisible.
    I did the update combo thingy for Snow Leopard and when i tried to do the Pages 3.0.3 update it says i don't have an applicable Pages program on my computer.
    Any ideas?

    Anyway, i moved pages back into the folder which is indeed in applications. I then downloaded update 3.0.2. it was successful. Then i did update 3.0.3. Then i restarted my computer. This didn't work before, maybe because it wasn't in the right place.
    same problem. Now that it's in my applications folder do i need to do the update combo again?
    That's what I said, the application MUST be in the iWork folder for the updater to work.
    You shouldn't have to reapply the combo updater, but it won't hurt. Also, use Disk Utility to repair permissions after updates.

  • Autofill on Safari is almost invisible?

    Hi everyone! I've had this weird problem with Safari for about a day now, basically what happened is that when I type in the address bar, the drop-down suggestions and whatnot appears, but it's really... faint. I took this screenshot.
    As you can see, it's almost invisible. I can barely even see it which is incredibly annoying. I don't know if I did anything that would have caused it. How do I get it to be normal again?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • ICal event colours

    I've had a look at other iCal discussions and I can't work out how to do something that probably really obvious....
    I share calendars with another family members I have red and green colours for my events and partner uses blue and yellow for events .
    For example in day view if I have an event for 5 hours and he has one for 3 hours during mine in my iCal I only see my colour and not his, previously I'm sure it was showing as 2 or more colour blocks side by side?
    I have all of the calendars selected and can see individual entries on week and month view it's just on day view where colours are hidden when entries are at the same time.
    What am I doing wrong ??
    Thanks in advance

    Hello Dryw,
    It sounds like shared iCloud Calendars are not appearing on one of your devices. I recommend this article to help you troubleshoot the issue:
    iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3999
    First, confirm that you've turned on iCloud Calendar by tapping Settings > iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, then check that Calendars is turned on.
    If you are having trouble with the Calendar app on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch) and iCloud Calendar, try these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved.
    Make sure you've updated to iOS 5 or later. If your issue isn't resolved, try installing the latest version of iOSsupported by your device. For instructions on setting up iOS for iCloud, see iCloud Setup.
    Make sure your iOS device is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com in Safari. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in your Calendar application. Learn how to troubleshoot your Internet connection.
    Open a secure website to test if ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Calendar requires port 443 access to iCloud to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Calendar servers.
    If recent changes don't appear, try to refresh your calendars:
    In iOS 7, open Calendar and tap the Calendars tab to load the Calendars list, then pull down on the list to refresh.
    In iOS 6 or iOS 5, open Calendar and tap Calendars in the top-left corner to load the Calendars list. Then tap the Refresh button in the lower-left corner of the Calendars list window.

  • After updating with the recent security patch I now have constant spinning colour wheel almost every key stroke is responded to by the wheel. Can this be fixed?

    Since installing the recent security patch I am getting the spinning colour wheel on almost every keystroke in Finder and in Gmail. Any way to speed up - or is this the result of the new security measures?

  • What isthe purpose of the almost invisible links shown below the title of a post.

    I just made a post and if I look closely, there are a number of what appear to be very faint links just to the right of the date. 
    You can only tell what they are if you hover oer them and the tooltip appears with no text included.
    If they are links, then something is wrong with the CSS on the page, as they are white on almost white and as such are invisible in Firefox.
    Clicking them has unexpected results as you do not know what to expect.
    Can anyone explain?
    Or is it just my browser that has the problem.
    Seems its opnly in the web developement forum - see post entitled

  • ICal - Recycle Colours

    I have several calendars that I no longer use, but I need to retain (archive)  the iCal entries for. I now want to use the same colour but change the calendar name e.g. Blue currently equals Work 1 and I would now like blue = 'Hobby 1'. Of course if you change the name or colour, or delete it, iCal changes all entries past and future, which doesn't achieve what I need to do.
    Previously I've just allocated a slightly new colour, but the list of calendars is getting quite long and I only need about half of them, the rest now need to be retired, but I still need to refer back (archive would be part of the solution I'm sure).
    Any ideas welcome please

  • Ical Tags (colours) are useless

    The new Mavericks colour system in iCal is hopeless. 
    Those stupid little dots are too hard to see. 
    Any way I can get back the old colour system that we had back in the good old days ?

    From Writing an effective Apple Support Communities question:
    Screenshots (Mac):
    To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse or trackpad. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot named "Screen Shot...." followed by a date and time on your Desktop.
    When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
    This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
    ⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
    ⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
    Don't capture or upload any information you consider personal. To edit an existing screenshot, read How to edit a screenshot.
    Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.
    Screenshots (iPhone / iPad / iPod):
    To take a screenshot press both the Home and Sleep / Wake buttons simultaneously. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This action takes a photograph of your iOS device's screen and places it in your Camera Roll.
    If you use iCloud's Photo Stream feature, that picture will automatically appear in iPhoto on your Mac. From there, you can export it to your Desktop and upload it here using the same instructions above.
    If you don't use iPhoto or iCloud's Photo Stream, email the picture to yourself or find some other way to get the photo on your Mac, since the Insert Image feature doesn't appear on iOS devices.

  • ICloud iCal different colours and not syncing macbook

    Hello,
    I'm having problems with my calendars.  On my iphone (ios5) the iCloud calendars are different colours to those on my macbook (also called iCloud calendars) and they don't sync.  Anything I put into my phone calendar does not ever appear on my mac book although the ones from my mac do appear on the iphone.  The problem is that my Macbook thinks that the calendars are icloud but my phone thinks they are 'My Mac' with email address in brackets.
    I don't know.  Does that make any sense?
    Ready to give up on this whole i Cloud thing, but not sure how it works without!  I would be quite happy to manually sync everything!
    Thanks in advance for any Help!!

    Hi PersonB
    I am having the same problem!  Have you sorted it out yet?  I had my icloud turned off for a while but now have an ipdad and wanted to try it again.  Still different calendar colours on my mac and not syncing...
    Annoying!
    Hope someone out there can help!

  • When printing page data in Schwab, the font is so tiny it's almost invisible - this does not happen in Windows Exploror.

    On 2/20/2013 all printing was normal. On 2/21/2013 not only did the printing not work, but PDF files did not show up properly. Is this a new version of Firefox? I got the PDF reset so that works now, but not the printing. In Comcast email, the date field shifts way to the right and forces the font smaller. When I uncheck "shrink to fit" it does not wrap the text but rather chops it off when I increase the font size.
    Today I tried printing pages from Schwab using their "Print Page" button which always worked in the past but today it was unreadable.
    Can I go back to the previous version of Firefox?

  • ICal Alarm Message Is Almost Off The Screen.

    After a couple of years of having a weekly reminder message, I have recently started getting them 90% off the screen.
    Although I drag them to the middle before closing them, the next one always appears 90% offscreen.
    I did update to Tiger but I am sure I received "normal" ones at first.
    Any ideas?

  • Almost invisible JTable column headers

    I'm writing an applet which contains a JTable within a JScrollPane. For a while the column headings (text) were visible, but recently the column headings have become very small in height. There is barely enough there so that the mouse can be used to sort, or resize or reorder the columns, but the text can not be seen. It doesn't seem to be related to the number of rows in the table. The getColumnName() method is being called and returning the correct strings, but they don't show up on the screen. As I said, this was working ok until recently, and I don't know what I changed that might have caused it.
    Any ideas? Thanks ... John Lawrence

    I am trying to have a JTable with variable height header. I give the headers a renderer that parses the text into a vector (breaking it into lines), and then returns a JList populated with the vector.
    ex: if the text is "Line1\nLine2", the header will have double height, with two lines:
    Line1
    Line2
    The problem is the same that you encountered: Swing only looks at the header of the 1st column to determine the height of all! So if there are headers with more lines than the 1st one, they get chopped!
    Does anybody know a workaround?

  • When i use the text tool the text inside the box is very small almost invisible even when i keep the text size to 72 please help

    I Have the PS CC 2014 installed in my Win7. I have a problem with the TEXT TOOL,when I select the tool and type something in there,the text is very tiny eventhough the size is 72. I have tried all the things,like Preferences changing,tool reset,character resets etc., Please help me its very frustrating!

    Do you see this behaviour on a new Photoshop document?
    Try creating a New document:
    File > New.
    From the Preset menu, choose U.S. Paper (just so we can test what's happening).
    Take note of the Width, Height and Resolution of the document you are creating.
    Select the Type tool, and ensure the font size is set in pt (points), set to 72 pt.
    Click anywhere in the canvas, and start typing.
    Do you still see the problem? If it's disappeared, then check the problem document settings:
    Image > Image Size, what's the resolution and physical width and height of the file?
    Hopefully this will help you discover what's happening to your document.
