ITunes stuck with White on Gray Background
I need help with iTunes please. Since I installed Lion, my iTunes switched to white on gray background, and its so hard seeing my lists on the sidebar. I've tried going under the preferences and choosing "dark" but that doesn't do a thing. Once I click an item it turns black luckily but I've ejected my iPhone accidently while syncing a number of times which the last two times caused it to wipe everything and I had to enter all the info back on from a backup
I updated everything before Lion and iTunes didn't do this; just after Lion.
Any ideas on how to to change it back?
It would be much appreciated!
I've attached a screen shot just in case, for a visual
Thanks!
p.s. I went through the discussions already on here, i saw a similar one but it was a university one and it had to do with iTunes store not a personal iTunes account and it was about 3mos ago and there was no resolution...apologies in advance if I'm not posting in the correct place.

Spoke with apple support as my iMac was still under applecare. The answer is a corrupted file. Solution is:
Delete the Caches folder in the user Library and in the Preferences folder, next
delete the com.apple.itunes.plist file. Restart the computer.
To locate the user Library folder which is now hidden in Lion:
in the Finder hold down the option key while clicking on the Go menu in the finder. Select Library Folder This opens the Library folder. Navigate to the above folder and file.
This worked for me.

All emails in Mail print with a light gray background.
Since upgrading to Mountain Lion all the emails I print from Mail shows with a light gray background.
How can I change that?
The printouts just look dirty.
Thank you!Hi Eric,
Thanks for writing!
I'm on 10.8.5 which is the latest update.
I have an HP Laserjet which is about 8 years old. I tried printing out this page and it showed gray. Also went to webmail and the same thing happened. But it didn't happen in InDesign.
Do you have any idea what's causing this?
Thank you!

Apple Hardware Test Stuck with white screen
hy every one..............
i am unable to start the apple hardware test ,i've done anything ,holding d at start up with inserted installation disk,also with holding c........
also inserted application cd....
apple logo appear and after some time with spinning wheel it stuck with white screen....What that means
please help me out....
what can i do???If you are still using Snow Leopard -
Shut down your computer and disconnect all peripherals (keyboard & mouse if pertinent) from your computer. Now reboot.
If the Mac starts up normally, shut it down again and then plug in one of the peripherals (keyboard or mouse first) and start up your computer again. If it does so successfully repeat the process, adding one peripheral at a time until your Mac acts up. At that point, disconnect the last peripheral you added, reboot your Mac and search the peripheral vendor's website for an updated driver.
If no driver exists or the problem remain after installing the new driver, try a different cable or a different port on your Mac.
If none of the above works, again disconnect all peripherals from your Mac, hold down the "shift" key to start up in "Safe Boot" mode.
If the Mac starts up correctly, restart without pressing the "shift" key.
If your computer still does not start up properly, shut it down and restart it while holding down the Apple+Option-P-R keys; keep holding "all 4 keys" down until you hear the startup sound "twice."
If none of the above work Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select Disk Utility.
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
(If Disk Utility cannot repair, you will need a stronger utility (3rd party) - Diskwarrior or Techtool PRO)
Restart your computer when done.
Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751 and restart your computer.
Remove any 3rd party ram.
Reinstall Snow Leopard - This will install a "fresh" copy of Snow Leopard without archiving old system files but leaves the rest of your files in place.
If your computer is still under warranty or you have Apple Care, take full advantage of it by letting tech support deal with your problems. It's what you're paying them for.
Out of warranty - take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you. -
I have downloaded an iOS update on my iPad air2 but it has locked the screen and I can only see the iTunes symbol with a white arrow and a padlock below it. I have tried turning the iPad off and on but the same screen reappears. Has anyone had a similar problem?
What that symbol indicates is that your iPad has gone into recovery mode and now it needs to be restored in order for you to be able to use it again. You can reboot from now until the cows come home and it will not do any good.
You do indeed need to plug your iPad into your computer and use iTunes to restore the device.

I was using my ipod when the screen froze,then it went black/gray with messedup pixels and lines everywhere.I already tried plugging it in and connecting it to my computer,but nothings shows up in itunes, and my ipod doesn't respond to any buttons.Plus it won't go off.Someone please help; i don't want to have to replace it.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hello: I just downloaded a movie but I cannot any video when trying to watch it. I just get n image of white and grey squares. Sound is ok ???
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Hi, my daughter was playing a game on her iPod touch and suddenly the screen went white.
I can't turn it of nor does it respond to anything. HELP!?!?
MishaPress and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button simultaneously for about 10 seconds until the apple logo appears.
You may want to do a restore using iTunes after this or avoid having too many Apps open at once while she plays that specific game.
Hope that helps Mishab :] -
Worksheet gives gray background on query run and won't give back.
When I run either multiple queries within a single worksheet or an running any code over 1 line long, the worksheet highlights the entire query with a dark gray background, just like the old Tora or Toad, which is fine. However, unlike Tora or Toad, it doesn't give me back my white background when I click on the query...hence I can't see any of my comments(they are gray when they are on the white background). This is about the only reason I don't like using this software. I use a lot of comments. I have found that if I Ctrl-A and then run, it doesn't do the gray background...however very annoying if it does it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Goto tools, preferences, Code Editor, Syntax Colors and change 'Current SQL' to something more pleasing. You also probably want to change the foreground color for current sql to transparent.
Hope that helps

Stuck with the apple and the scrolling gear while booting
Hi there
i am using my mac for more than 2 years , i did not format it or even fix any thing into it but now something bad happend...
accdentaly my genius friend preesed the power putton for more than 5 seconds to start up the computer and i heared a sound and a the normal flashing light under the track pad and suddenly i was stuck with the apple gray booting screen and the scrooling gear and the computer does not go further .. i left for 2 hours and it still stuck with the same screen ... try to restart do any thing no results also ...
NOTE: THE BIG PROPLEM IS THAT I PUT A PASSWORD FOR THE FRIMWARE AND I FORGOOT IT SO I CAN NOT USE THE FOLLWOING:
1-the ability to use the "C" key to start up from an optical disc.
2-the ability to use the "N" key to start up from a NetBoot server.
3-the ability to use the "T" key to start up in Target Disk Mode (on computers that offer this feature).
4-Diagnostic volume of the Install DVD.
5-mode by pressing the Command-S key combination during startup.
6- a reset of Parameter RAM (PRAM) by pressing the Command-Option-P-R key combination during startup.
Requires the password to use the Startup Manager, accessed by pressing the Option key during startup (see below).
7- Safe mood.
8-Single mode acsses and the other one i forrgot its name.
SO I FIGURED THERE IS NO WAY BETER THAN THE PRIVIOUS WAYS TO SOLVE THE PROPLEM
IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS OR ANY THING SO I CAN FIX THIS THING ?
Thanks in advance >>>
iBook G4 Mid 2005 Mac OS X (10.4.8)I was mistaken about the PMU..with a little more digging I found that Open Firmware password can be removed if you change the amount of memory installed.
I found this info here: http://archive.macosxlabs.org/documentation/firmwaresecurity/faqs/faqs.html#remove_passwordprotection
The following is a link from Apple's site to download the user's manual for your iBook:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iBookG4(Mid2005)_UsersGuide.pdf
It provides the instructions to add or remove memory from the machine. If you do have additional memory installed then you'll be able to remove the memory, and reset the PRAM, that way your password is gone. Hopefully from there we can figure out and fix your startup issue.

Photo template with white background #ffffff appears gray online, using Photoshop CS5.
Aloha! I am stumped with this and need your help.
Here's what I want to do: Create a seamless white border around my photo on a white background (blog post area is white). I am using Photoshop CS5.
I've tried saving the file as PNG, GIF, and JPG but all appear as gray in the area I want as white.
Photo below is how my image appears on a white background. The area surrounding the photo and behind the word "example" is the gray area that is white #ffffff on PS but appears otherwise when posted online (my blog on Blogger).
The top image is a PNG file, the bottom is a GIF. The GIF is slightly better but still gray. I would like the surrounding area to be pure white so it just blends into the white background (post area).
This is the image I see on PS, it is white in the areas surrounding the center photo, this is how I intend the final image to look like:
I've even chosen my background (while creating a new document) as white for the background color. I've even tried a transparent background but all that did was make it worse and turn the transparent background to black when I post the image online.
Here's a screen capture of my layers (not sure if this info is necessary but I do need help).
If anyone would like to help me with this I'd really appreciate your assistance. Thank you so much!!Mylenium, I went back in and took screen shots of what I found according to your article. I finally found color settings.
And as for "view", I couldn't find this part in your article: View--Proof Setup enable Monitor RGB and make sure Proof Colors is enabled."
This is a capture of what I find:
Where do I check off under Proof Setup?
Thanks again! -
IMac stuck at white start up screen with revolving gray wheel. What to do?
My iMac is stuck at white start up screen. I have been having problems
With iMac since installing snow leopard. The unplug/replug option
Doesn't help. Any suggestions?Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward. -
what will i do with my ipad 2 ios 5.0.1 stuck on white apple logo and itunes not recognized it. i'll always try to press and hold both the home botton and sleep/wake button but nothings happen.
if that dose not work then you can always put it into DFU mode by connecting to your computer and holding down the home button and sleep/wake button for excatly 10 seconds and then relesing the sleep/wake button and keep holding down the homebutton till iTunes tells you it has detected an iPad in recovery mode then just do a restore
