Imac monitor magnified and is very contrast (y), how do I get back to factory settings?

The monitor on my IMac (about two years old) suddenly got very contracty and magnified. Items that are gray, such as some text, are almost impossible to read. How to I get back to factory display setting?

Change the monitor contrast in System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing:
If your is set to "normal" like the above then it is a hardware problem with your monitor.

This will tell you how to reformat your iPod mini to PC format which will then allow you to use it on your PC. Put simply, just plug it into iTunes and that should reformat it (however you will lose songs that are on the iPod).

When I am viewing an E-Mail and click on a link, how do I get back to the page that had the link?

I am replying to myself. I called for Tech support and found out that when I tapped on the link I went to a web page in Safari and to double tap on the home button at the bottom of the iPad and then tap on "Mail" to get me back where I was.
I hope this helps anyone else with the same question.

I forgot my iPad password and it is now "disabled", how do I get back in?

I have an iPad that has been issued to me from work. I completely forgot my password, and through numerous failed attempts, I have been "locked out" of my iPad. The home screen says that it has been "disabled." When connecting to iTunes I am being told that I need a password to connect. My first iPad issued from work had some technical issues and it was sent back to Apple...as a result when I received my new one I backed everything up from iCloud, and never needed to synch it with iTunes for my use. How can I get back into my iPad?
Thank you,
Matt

After I enter my password in my Mac mini, my screen turns black. I know it is there, ( i can hear the assistant), but I cannot see anything. i went to Genius and they said hold Control, Option, P, R on the re-boot to get back to factory settings...

I went to the Genius bar and they told me to Control, Option, P, R on a reboot to restore the settings, but with a wireless KeyBoard it does not work. I installed my standard PC keyboard, but am not sure what keys renase the display back to factory settings.

Hello Dominique,
Generally on a PC Keyboard...
Windows key = Command key on Mac
alt key = Option key on Mac
PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...

With PC KB... Windows+alt+p+r
But try holding the Shift key down at boot to get into Safe Mode, see if the Display settings need adjusting.

HT1414 my daughter has iphone 3gs and it required an update , so i connected the iphone to itunes for update and the iphone locked up, I had to reset back to factory settings and now the iphone will not activate , what can i do

My daughter has an iphone 3gs and it required an update. So i connected the iphone to itunes for the update and the iphone locked up . I had to reset the iphone back to factory settings and now the iphone will not activate , Please advise what i can do to get this working for her ?

Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

Old laptop crashed, tried syncing it into new one but half my songs disappeared. No I got a new ipod and another new laptop. How do i get back my lost songs and make sure it all ends up on my new ipod?

I had a laptop that had over 2,000 songs in my library but it crashed and my ipod could only hold a little over 1000. Later, when I got my new laptop, I synced my ipod to it only to have all my songs disappear. I did the itunes media folder thing and only got about half of my songs back (some from CDs, some from the itunes store and some from amazon downloads). I hadto get a newhard drive for my laptop and now i have a new ipod. So how can I getback my old songs and then get ALL of my songs tranfered to my new ipod?

Hello Chris,
Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
Thanks for answering so fast.

My bookmarks in the left hand column are gone and default is at top how do I get back to what it was

started firefox as normal bookmarks on the left are gone how do I get them back

Using System Restore can cause your Firefox installation to get corrupted because only white-listed files are restored, so always be cautious with using System Restore.
*You may lose data in the Firefox profile folder like .js and .ini files
*You may need to reinstall affected software
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

Use Rescue and Recovery to get back to factory settings?

Hi,
I want to restore my X220 laptop with Windows 7 to the factory settings. A while ago I got rid of a trojan and ended up losing some important DLL files, and I don't have a Windows restore point from before the trojan.
I clicked on the Lenovo Recovery (Q) drive. I then clicked "Create Recovery Media." However, I got the error Windows cannot find 'C:\. . . recovburncd.exe'. I read elsewhere in this forum that this means I should have created a recovery disk before I installed Windows.
I called the Lenovo technical support, and told them that I downloaded Rescue and Recovery and asked if I could access the Q drive through this software. I said I planned to "Create Rescue Media." They said this was the right way to do it.
So, I clicked on Create Rescue Media and used a DVD. However, when I looked at the contents of the DVD, I couldn't tell whether I had accessed the Q drive. What do I need to look for to verify that I have the correct content and am ready to reinstall Windows and the rest of the factory-origin software? Do I next use "Restore your system from a backup"? When I click "View all backups" there are no backups found because I haven't made any. Do I also need to use the "Backup your hard drive" tool? I can see the option to include the Q drive in the backup, but I cannot see a way to only backup Q.
My main concern is not to wipe the computer and then find out I don't have the right software ready to install because I use this computer for work everyday. I do have a backup system for all my files, so I will be ready to put those back on the computer after reinstalling Windows 7.
I appreciate your help.

If your factory shipped system was win 7, you should still have the recovery partition.
If your factory shipped system was Vista, and Install win 7 on top of it, you DO not have a recovery partition with 7 (it has vista). I dont think this is your case. RNR v 4.5 will NOT install if a vista recovery partition is present.
PF11 at boot up time, and go into RNR standalone. You should see an option for a Factory restore. You MIGHT have to go several layers into the RESTORE my system screen to find this option. You MIGHT find a factory restore option on the RNR windows platform (buried in a restore panel) , but I would l Not expect it. Boot into rnr standalone.
==
The recovery burncd.exe is a misleading message. It probably should say YOU HAVE already taken a factory recovery backup(you can only do this one time After factory restore, you can do it again).. I will post a link to another post on how to fix this.
====
CREATE rescue media is just a Standalone RNR. 1 DVD, no Q partition. It will boot up and act like standalone rnr(pf11). It will offer a factory restore option if it finds the Q partition.
Standard Take a back up now with RNR is just a backup of the C (and maybe q). You do not need to take this backup as your C drive is not in good shape. and Q is already available to use.
====
Create Factory recovery is a backup set of 3 dvds to REstore the Q drive back onto a hard drive. After restore of Q it will start a factory install. Running the 3 dvds WILL erase the whole drive. DVD 1 is boot, 2 and 3 are data.
Rescue= backups of c
Recovery=Factory restore of Q partition.
In a couple of days, after you get your factory restore done, use the Create Factory Recovery set to DVD. takes 3 dvd. This can be used in 4 years to repopulate your HDD (q drive) after your current HDD fails due to hardware error.
===
Link to several posts to reset the DONE.ini from 1 to 0 in Q partition.

I have an iMAC, an iPhone and a new iPAD Air, how do I get the contacts/address book to my iPAD AIR?

Is there a Contacts or Address Book app for the iPAD AIR? Can I take the address book data off my iMAC and put it on the iPAD AIR, or can I take the Contacts off my iPHONE and put them on my iPAD AIR?
I'm really a beginner, so please make answer basic.

You would have to link your iCloud account to your ipad, you can find iCloud in Settings>ICloud there you can then link your Apple ID and make sure contacts is on!
Luck! -M

Hi.
I do not know if my bios is correct one but i did not have the problems like you.
I think you can try
Picture before backup
But i provide file only...all you do with them is at your own risk
65CN15WW
i used to backup : Universal bios backup utility
EDIT: i tried to reflash 65CN15WW by using autoexec winflash variables i get message EFI error unsupported BUT after that i only ran winflash.exe and set to only flash new bios option. Then select bios file to flash click on flash new file button and pray
After restart my BIOS still working i don't tested it with 65CN13WW but you can try if it helps.
i think this settings creates problems with invalid bios image
and i flashed using this
Lenovo IdeaPad U410, Core i7 - 3517U, 8GB RAM 1600 MHz, 1 TB + 24GB SSD HDD, BIOS: 65CN15WW
Windows 7 Home Premium -> Windows 8 Pro RTM (upgraded without problems)

Graham,
For the iPad, iMac you need to create verifyible e-mail addresses created with one of the providers such as Yahoo, Gmail,etc. For the iphone you should use it's phone number, but an e-mail could be used for it too. If you want to associate these e-mail addresses with a single ID, I'm including a link to give you info about how you can do that. Read it carefully, as it can be a bit confusing.

I can convert almost things multiple times at the same time including CMYK to RGB (or sRGB), but not RGB to CMYK and not brighten/contrast. How?

I can convert almost things multiple times at the same time including CMYK to RGB (or sRGB), but not RGB to CMYK and not brighten/contrast. How?

If you want a relevant answer you may have to elaborate on what you actually mean. Posting screenshots might help, too.
In any case multiple conversions of an image are not advisable in general.
