Kernal panics black and white text as well as regular KP screen

Bought a used Powerbook Alum 15" 1.5 mhz. Almost continually having kernal panics. Started out being just the regular ones, and could not trace it to anything special, so after DW said there were problems with the HD, installed a new one. Helped for a while, but they began again. Tried to do software update tonight and it kept killing and having KP. It's gotten so that a restart gives me a black screen and nothing else. Complete stall. After 4 or 5 tries, finally got a boot to finish. BTW, always got the processor bong, but nothing else. On a java update tonight, got the we are hanging KP. then another, which I copied in full.
KP tonight was all white text on black background, as follows. Sorry if I missed some caps:

I know this is a lot of stuff, that I know zero about, but does this mean anything to anyone? Can you suggest the next step I might take to track down the issue? TIA

Probably I can't be of too much help since I can't read panic logs, but here is an article on resolving kernel panics in general:

Have you tried reseating your RAM? I have heard that RAM can be a factor in kp's.
Good luck!

How to create a black and white text clip?

I'm using pro Cs4 and was wondering how do I create a black and white text clip? When I used Vegas there was a clip I could put in, and simply write whatever I needed.
Still getting used to Pro Cs4 and was wondering if anybody can help me.
Thanks!

Do you wish to have a black field w/ white text, over part of an existing Video Clip, or do you want just a black field w/ white text and not have any Video showing through?
For the latter, just do a Title in Titler, w/ white text, and place that on the Timeline.
For the former, let us know the exact details, as that is slightly different.
Good luck,
Hunt
[Edit] as a little background, when in Titler, you will see a "black" background, but that is really Transparent. However, if placed on the Timeline, with nothing below it, it will show black.

Best scanner settings for black and white text only

I need to scan a lot of older text documents, I have a DRG 1100 scanner. what are the best settings for text only black and white, thanks

"How about under "Default Settings"? Is there a option for B&W printing?"
No there isn't.

How can I print in black and white only directly from apps on hp screen?

My printer preference from my pc is set to print in black and white from my computer. How do I set the same black and white settings from the HP Photosmart Plus printer, when printing directly from Apps on Home screen?

Hello AdrianaSFleury,
At this time there is not an option or a default to set black and white only from the front panel of the printer. Some applications may give you settings in the Application itself for color or black and white but that would be the only place to change the color of the document/photo for your print jobs.

Pages 09 poster only prints as black and white but color looks fine on the screen

The original template my poster was based upon prints in color, I can print other documents from pages in color without issue, and even if I print to pdf (which looks fine on the screen) and then open the pdf in preview and then print, it still prints black and white.
Um, and yes, it's a color printer and it's a standard 8.5x11 paper, so there's nothing too weird there. It looks totally fine literally everywhere except paper, and I have no other issues with any other documents, even really similar ones, that I have sent through the same printer.
I sent the same pdf file to a local copy shop and it printed just fine.
ACK! Please help!

I can't find anything that is print to black & white or grey scale in the document rules or anywhere else, and since the printer prints it as a pages document AND a pdf as black and white--but someone else can print the same PDF file in living color on their printer without any issues, I'm stumped.
Without changing anything, I can print any other document, jpg, web page, or anything on the same printer (including the same apple template) and the colors are fine...but then this one prints in b&w.

Laserjet 500 color consuming color toner printing black and white text

How can I prevent the consumption of color toner when printing black/white text documents (pdf in Adobe Acrobat)???
I just finished printing about 2200 2-sided pages in Adobe Acrobat pdf files, all black/white text, on my 500dn. The color toner appears to have been consumed as I am getting signals that my yellow and magenta are below 10%. They were over 40% when I started the project.

Hello there,

Printing in black and white only - looking for a definitive solution

Hi
I've been trying to find out once and for all how to make sure my black and white text documents are printing only from the large pigment-based cartridge (525 PGBK), rather than using the smaller black dye-based cartridge (526BK), or from a combination of the dye-based colour cartridges. I've trawled through endless forums, and finally in frustration I recently called Canon's Australian phone support team.
I thought I'd nailed it. The phone support person told me that if the document I'm printing is definitely black only, then all I need to do is print normally, with grayscale DE-selected. He said nothing about also de-selecting duplex. But I've since read online advice that contradicts this in relation to other models (I haven't found any advice based specifically on the MG6150, apart from the phone guy from Canon). Some say you need to SELECT grayscale and DE-select duplex; others say to DE-select both grayscale and duplex; others say to select grayscale, DE-select duplex, and also select dither (on my screen that's under Main > Print Quality > Custom). I'm now wondering whether I've nailed it after all.
If anyone from Canon is reading this, can you please give a definitive answer to these questions:
1. How do I ensure that my black and white text documents print only from the large pigment cartridge?
2. Can I print in automatic duplex using this method, or do I have to do manual duplex?
2. Will this also work for purely black and white NON-text documents as well (e.g., photos that have been converted from colour to B&W)?
3. If not, is there another way of forcing B&W NON-text documents to print from the pigment cartridge? What about a way of forcing colour documents to print from the pigment cartridge?
4. If my smaller black dye cartridge (526BK) isn't being used up at the same rate as the other dye cartridges, is there a way of forcing the printer to use this instead of the pigment cartridge for B&W text documents, but NOT to mix in any of the colour cartridges at the same time?
5. Does this procedure work for all other Canon printer models in addition to the MG6150, or just a limited range?
Many thanks for your patience in reading this -- I'm really trying to get the best out of my printer rather than give up and buy a different brand, and I'm sure others would appreciate a definitive answer to these questions as well.

I have at MG8100 and it seems that there is no solution to this. I have scoured the web for one and it seems that there is no way to print in black and white only. The grayscale option uses all the colours including black to print.
I have gone through a ton of colour ink just printing black and white documents. Its cost me a fortune and I've worked out that I can get it done cheaper by going to the print shop.
As far as I am concerned this unbelievable. A printer that doesn't give you the option to print using black ink only! And its not advertised or made known in any way. You have to buy the product and then find out later that it does not have a black and white print option. It seems there are a lot of people out there that are unhappy about this, and the "problem" seems to go quite far back. Why haven't Canon responded by adding this feature?! I wont say it here, but I think it must be obvious. Brings to mind the story of housecleaning product manufacturers that increase the size of the closures so that consumers will use more of the product, which is actually wasteful, so as to increase the purchase cycle.
This leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. I'm flogging mine now, and I am done with Canon for good!

Why can't I print in black and white only?

Why is the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus not able to print black and white only if the black cartridge is still not empty?
What I mean is I went into the settings to set the printer to print black and white only as well as print text only in black. Yet I am FORCED to replace the cyan, magenta, and yellow cartridges because they are depleted. What does cyan, magenta, and yellow ink have anything to do with printing black considering a SEPARATE black cartridge exists and is still full?
I am aggravated at how the driver for this printer is designed TO FORCE me to purchase nonblack cartridges when I purposefully set the printing to be BLACK ONLY. I am unable to go forward with my printing. This is considered a show stopper and is unacceptable considering that the setting I assigned and the cartridge(s) depleted message contradict each other. If the setting is made to print in black and white only including text, then print black and white since I know the black ink is still available.
Take into consideration that printing can take place at anytime. Not being able to use black as my alternate color (WHICH IS NOT EMPTY AND IS A SEPARATE CARTRIDGE) forces me to stop. I am unable to go forward until the store opens. WalMart is not always an option. That is time lost.
The inability to switch to use the black cartridge only is a time waster.
Let's call it for what it is, a form of ransom. HP wants me to spend money on color cartridges that have nothing to do with printing black and white. When I am ready to print in color, that should be a time of my choosing.
Incidentally, the form I am trying to print is black and white only. No color is on this form. It makes no sense to force color printing of a black and white document.
This question was solved.

Hi,
To protect itself specially the printheads, many printers NEED other inks even they only print black. During the warming up process, printers require all inks therefore they may stop before we can continue. Some printers allow user to print (specially the ones which have tri-color ink tank) but they may print at a baby snail speed.
Regards.

My screen flickered and now all I get is black and white pixels - any ideas for a fix before I take to the Genius Bar?

MacBookPro is about 8 years old now so has had a good innings. Last night the screen flickered, and then went off. Turning Mac back on again brought black and white pixels - small rectangles all over the screen. In background is little apple in middle of screen with the round rainbow timer thing vaguely visible. This then sticks and I just have the pixels nothing else.
Any ideas?
I have booked with Genius bar tomorrow but am feeling bereft!
Thanks in advance.

It's certainly a hardware problem that only Apple techs would be able to properly diagnose. Keep your appointment...

MacPro 2009, OSX 10.8.5, iTunes 11.1 shows everything in black base and white text?

I've updated MacPro to 10.8.5 and iTunes to 11.1.
The problem is, that these updates did not solve a problem where iTunes shows everything in negative colours - well almost everything.
Mostly it has a black base and white text for example on Music Library and on the side bar.
Anybody with any solutions maybe?

Black Screen and White text at startup

Greetings, I recently installed the latest security update so I don't know for sure if this is the cause or a coincidence. When I startup my iMac G5 1.8Ghz PPC I now get a black screen with a lot of white text instead of the ususal grey screen with the apple logo. The computer does startup and seems to function OK however but this is total weirdness. I downloaded and reinstalled the 10.4.8 combo PPC update. I booted from my backup drive and it still does this. While booted from backup I ran repairs on permissions and disk repairs and then I ran DiskWarrior. Still flakey. Last week the power suppluy and logic board were replaced as part of the iMac G5 repair extension program from Apple but this behavior started immediateely after the latest Security update was installed as recommended by the software updates application. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks for reading this and thanks in advance for any help.

I zapped the PRAM and all is well now.... Weird! Thanks to all!
One of the settings in the PRAM can cause the Mac to act like a specific keyboard shortcut was pressed at startup; in your case, it was the verbose mode shortcut, which is Command+V. Some utility software packages can toggle this setting, and it can be changed from the Terminal.

So, my Macbook Pro with retina display only prints in black and white. My printer, officejet 4620 series [555DE4], is not the problem. I want to know how to be able to print in color as well??

In the Print dialog, select the Color Matching tab and then select Vendor Matching.

Have a MacBook Pro. the computer will not boot up, the screen has black and white stripes and multi color bands as well.

Yeah it's dead. Take it to an Apple Genius Bar and have it checked out. Then buy a new one.

Don't worry, this is probably just Verbose Mode. It's perfectly harmless. If you're not specifically invoking it, than it's probably down to an unwanted setting in NVRAM. See this article on resetting NVRAM if it continues to bother you.
