LCD display in reverse video, B&W, can't seem to reset

The LCD display on our PowerBook G4 kicks into reverse video, black & white, after a normal boot where we see regular colors, including the desktop for a moment. We have walked through all the possible display settings and can't find anyplace where we could accidentally put our settings to reverse video.
The fact that we can see normal colors until the end of the boot would indicate that nothing is physically wrong with our LCD panel.

Hi, Gaydpdx. Press the following key combination: Command-Option-Control-8.
Someone has inadvertently typed that key combination on your computer, invoking one of the display settings for visually-impaired users that are found in the Seeing tab of the Universal Access pane of System Preferences.

I can't seem to reset my security questions, also having a hard time adding a rescue email

I have tried to read on how to reset my security question, but was having no luck. I finally reach max attempts. I read how use a rescue email, but can't seem a place to add a rescue email. I see the area where I can add an email, but it is not a rescue email. Thanks

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
Adding or changing the rescue email requires correctly answering two of the questions.

Lcd/display iPhone 5 broken. How can I unlock the device?

I need to unlock it or even restore to factory setting in order to sell it. It keeps saying I should turn off "Find My iPhone" before it can be restored. But I can't, even from my icloud account control panel or from itunes on my pc, on which I have back ups. The buyer wants to be sure it is only the display which is broken, so I wanted to restore from my itunes, and set it up as new, so we can test if it can recieve calls. How do I get around this without the replacing the display?

Can you login to iCloud.com from your computer, locate the phone, then erase it? But, if the phone is running iOS 7.0., you will still need to do the following:

If you can't, the phone will not be able to be re-activated without knowing your Apple ID/Password.
I'm afraid you're gonna have to get the phone fixed first. Many Apple stores, in the US, will replace the screen/digitizer for US $149.

What is this Jingle called? Its used in this video, but I can't seem to find it on my program

what makes you believe, it's part of FCPX/iLIfe media... ??
There're hundreds of other video-apps, with zillions of jingles...

HT4085 The volume icon won't leave the screen and I can't seem to reset the volume. Does anyone know how to fix this?

My iPad2 will not clear the volume icon from the screen no matter what I do. I've reset the ipad and nothing I do will make that icon go away and I can no longer control the volume. Am I missing something here, or does this warrant a trip to the Apple store?

The volume icon on the screen means that the pad thinks you are pressing the volume rocker on the side. Make sure that it is not being pressed by a case, or a dent, or anything else. Make sure it rocks back and forth freely without getting stuck.
If it moves freely, and if you have already done a full reboot, then a trip to the store may be in order.

I can't seem to reset my apple security question. I neither have an other e-postadress i can send it to

Please help me

If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

Okay here's what I did...
I got a new Mac Mini from my parents for Christmas, but before my dad could hook it up, I used my brothers computer to put music on my iPod Nano, they use windows though. So now that my computer is hooked up I can't seem to reset my iPod in any way so that I can use my computer to put music and everything on it...I think I have tried everything and I really don't know what else to do. If anyone knows what I can do to help my situation that would be great!!!

Are you trying to use a PC formatted iPod on a Mac? See below:
Can I use a Mac-formatted iPod on a PC or vice versa?
Converting a Mac-formatted iPod into a Windows-formatted iPod or vice versa requires the iPod to be "restored", and doing so will erase the hard drive. Be very certain that any music and data files are safely backed up before attempting to convert an iPod from one platform to another.
From Apple's own iPod FAQ, "You can convert an iPod formatted for Windows into an iPod for Mac by using the iPod for Mac Software Updater on the Apple website. Note that once it is reformatted, it will only work with Macs. You need Mac OS 9.2 or Mac OS X 10.1 or later to reformat an iPod for Windows into an iPod for Mac."
You can also convert an iPod formatted for the Mac into an iPod formatted for Windows by connecting the Mac-formatted iPod to a Windows PC, running the Windows iPod Updater Software and clicking "restore". It is also worth noting that Apple provides no support for an iPod that has been reformatted for a platform other than the one originally intended.

Where is the exe. file for P E 12? My computer can't seem to find it?

Is there an actual tech support person who monitors this? If so, please contact me so I can get this damned program working.

Since I can't seem to reset it here with the computer I have, can I take it to the apple store to reset it, and then bring it home to use it?
The old Express must be able to "see" your wireless network to "join" it, so unless you take your main wireless router with you to the Apple store along with the Express, things won't work.
The Apple Store might have a Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard....but I would make an appointment first before I hauled everything down to the store.
Things would be much easier if you could invite a friend over to your house who might have a Mac using Leopard, or Snow Leopard, or a PC.
It would only take 5-10 minutes to get the Express configured.
Or, should I jsut buy a new one? And, if I am buying a new one to stream music, shouldn't I just go ahead and get apple tv (I think the price is very similar)?
Sorry, I can't tell you what is best for you. Talk the folks at the Apple Store to get some opinions.
If it were me, I would get a new Express. Careful on the AppleTV as it only has a digital audio output..... that may or may not work with your existing equipment.

Video problem on PXI-1025 LCD Display

I have a video problem with the internal LCD display in a PXI-1025 MegaPAC Chassis with an NI 8175 embedded controller. Windows XP is loaded on the machine. The external monitor output on the controller looks fine, but all black areas on the LCD display have a snowy green appearance (green "snow" in constant motion like a bad TV picture), the white areas are pinkish, and there are random bars and lines in the display. I substituted a different embedded controller, which made no difference. Device Manager reports no problems under "Display Adapter", with an Intel 82815 graphics controller installed. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the display adapter, which also made no difference. Since the problem appears on the initial boot screen, it doesn't appear that it could be a display adapter problem anyway. I also pulled all of the boards out of the chassis, including the hard drive, which we have on a separate card from the controller, and the problem still exists. (It doesn't boot without the hard drive, of course, but the green snow stays on the initial boot screen).
Since the external monitor output works fine and the problem exists with two different embedded controllers, and nothing else installed in the chassis, it appears that the problem is in the MegaPAC chassis itself. Is there anything else I should try before sending the chassis back to NI for repair? Are there any components in the chassis that can be replaced by the user?
Thanks,
Al

Al,
It sounds to me like it may be the display itself. I would go ahead with the RMA.

Anywhere you can find it via the obvious Google search. It won't be from Apple, but will be a generic replacement.
Why are you throwing away any future chances of out of warranty replacements when you drop or drown it? Apple will give you a warranteed replacement phone for $199 (in the US, roughly the same in your country)

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

Can anyone tell what is the number to replace a damage LCD display in my iPad 2?

In a recent incident the lcd display in my iPad 2 became damage, I would like to replace it. Can anyone tell me the replacement number for this part? so I can order it in the internet
Thank you in advance

Apple does not sell parts to the public and does not provider parts numbers. You will have to use the internet to find either a used or OEM replacement. Start with http://www.ifixit.com.

Look, you can build an HD DVD with an SD movie, just as you can build an SD DVD with an HD movie. This is not a bug, it is most likely user error. Apple will not be addressing it.
Just start over, and ensure you are building an SD DVD by bringing up the inspector for the disc (click on the background in the Graphical tab).
Make sure SD DVD is selected:
(If you do the same thing on your ill fated project, you'll see that HD DVD is selected)
Build your DVD and you'll be fine.

P.S. You will need to google HD DVD and Blu-Ray if you want to understand the difference between the formats. The reason that DVDSP included HD DVD was that its format was similar to SD DVD's. Blu-Ray is something else entirely.

Did any of the 17-inch Studio LCD displays have an S-Video input?

The subject line says it all.
I know that years ago I had an Apple LCD display that had an S-Video input, but I don't remember which model and size it was.
Thanks for the help.
Macbook, Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I finally got the 17 inch display apart.
I took some pictures while it was apart, and I will put them on my iDisk as soon as I get around to it.
Here are a few pointers:
1. The 17 inch display is completely different from the 12 and 15 inch displays. Don't waste your money on any take apart guides for those models. They won't help you; they will only confuse you.
2. The main source of difficulty in separating the back from the display is that it is held on by these fiendish spring-metal fingers that actually tighten their grip when you attempt to pull the back off.
3. Don't use metal tools to pry the back off. You will scratch it, bend it, and damage the cables that run just inside where the case opens up.
4. Wrap the cable ends in tissue and secure with tape to prevent them from scratching the screen while you wrestle with the display.
5. Start working from the hinged end of the display. The fingers down at this end come loose fairly easily, and the hinge prevents the screen from flexing as you pry the back away, thus preventing the screen from cracking.
6. Use plastic putty knives , popsicle sticks or tongue depressors to pry the back away from the screen and shim the opening. Slide them along or insert new ones as you go.
7. As you open up the gap between the aluminum back and the gray plastic trim ring, look inside for the bright metal spring clips. They will be hidden behind tabs projecting from the gray plastic trim ring. Take a small jeweler's screwdriver and carefully pry the edge of the spring clip outward and towards the back. Be careful not to pierce the Airport cable which is strung around the outside of the display very close to these clips.
8. Once you have release the spring clips from the bottom and both sides of the display, slide the back up and off of the display assembly. Set the back aside and place the display assembly face down on the work table.
Whew!
You are now ready to proceed with repairs to the display assembly.
