My 30" Display can't display nice gradiants/lighter colors, am I alone?

I am running OSX 10.3.9.
Have a 30" ACD
Graphics card is a GeForce 6800 Ultra
I have tried recalibrating a dozen times, yet cannot see finer gradiants, or very light colors that appear on other machines, including Macs with 23" displays, and PC's... any suggestions?
Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi -- the standard Mac Pro should have 2 DVI outputs. One of them is dual-link and supports large displays with more pixels. The other one is single-link DVI and won't support a large display at native resolution. So try plugging your monitor into the other DVI port.

White bright spot on screen when displaying white or light colors

When my droid X screen is displaying all white or light colors their is a bright white sport about a inch up from the bottom of the screen in the middle. It does not appear when the colors are dark. Does anyone else this problem?

There are a couple of different issues that can cause this. One being "Stuck" pixels, another being pressure from the battery compartment.
Check to see if your battery door feels like it's binding or applying pressure when you slide it on and off. If it is your battery is either not stock, or it has warped due to overheating.
As for pixels stuck, run this youtube video on your screen for a few minutes:

HT201365 Can I turn off this update. I can't see the new lighter colors.

Can I uninstall this new update? I cannot see the new lighter colors.

Hi Hazel,
From what I have read here it is not possible to downgrade - I wish it was!!!
Some replies say that people should have researched what iOS7 would look like before upgrading but to be honest I just did not believe that it could be as bad as it turned out to be.
I have sent feedback to Apple here and would encourage you to do the same - they need to know how difficult it is now the visual contrasts are so poor:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
If you go to Settings -> General -> "Accessibility" it helps a little to do this:
Larger type: ON
Bold text: ON
Increase Contrast: ON
I found that the "Invert Colors" option did not help as it made many controls even more difficult to see!
I have never had to use the Accessibility settings before - the design of iOS7 is a wonderful if unwelcome illustration of the Social Model of Disability in action! Apple used to excel at accessible design. The difference between iOS7 and all previous versions illustrates perfectly that bad design is disabling!

HT4528 I can't see the new light blue font on many of the displays. Is there a way to change this color?

I can't see the new light blue font on many of the displays. Is there a way to change this color?

No you can change your wallpaper to make the font stand out more on your homepages and folders or you can adjustr the font size, bold and contrast here:
Settings > General > Accessibility
NOTE: Turning Bold text on will force your phone to reboot.

Display's back lighting no longer works.

Have a MacBook air that is completely functional except for the fact that the display's back lighting is dead. Can see the desktop fine if you point a nice flashlight at the screen.
Is there a part I can order and replace to get a functional back light on my display again? Or am I stuck having to pay $700+ on an entire new display assembly? Perhaps just the LCD component of the assembly would be required or even better a simple back light panel/cable?

Not knowing which model MBA you have can mean the difference between an answer and none.
For the current models, it is probably more practical to replace the display panel as a whole than to disassemble it for just the backlighting components, if even doable. A replacement panel is around $500, from the likes of ifixit, plus the labor to install it for a current model MBA.
But if it is just a cable, as you speculate, only disassaembly is going to determine the feasability of a simpler repair.

If so..
* Go to Shared Components -> Templates -> Select Type as "Popup List of Values"
* Edit Popup LOV template
* See the class name being used for div under Result Set section. In My case, its t1PopupBody
* Under Page Attributes -> Page HTML Head section append following CSS
<style>.t1PopupBody a{color:red;}</style>* Apply Changes
If its not working, then inspect the pop-up lov with firebug and update CSS definition accordingly.

Photoshop CC 2014 No Longer Displaying Blue In The Color Picker Or Workspace, Only Purples.

Photoshop CC 2014 is no longer displaying blue in the color picker and on screen, only purple, violet, magenta, etc. I think it started about 3 days ago. Our current model 2.9 GHz iMac with NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 1024 MB Graphics Card and 8 GB RAM is calibrated to 100% via Spyder 4 Express, and reflects that in every application except Photoshop CC 2014, so I know it isn't the monitor. Blue is the primary color we use in many of our designs, so this is of upmost importance. I really appreciate any help you could provide, If this isn't fixed ASAP, I don't know what we'll do.
Thank you so much!

Ok, so old files are purple, but new files are blue.
I took a screenshot of my Photoshop work are using Cmd-Shift-3 and it places the screen shot as a png file on my desktop, which I upload with my reply via the Camera icon in the forum reply toolbar.
I loaded a new RGB/8 file, set the bottom status bar to indicate the color profile (sRGB) and made sure the file tab on the top is visible, so I can see it is RGB/8. Then I used Cmd-shift-k to show my Color Settings before taking the screenshot. The point is to try and see where the problem is coming from, so make a screenshot just like mine with your old purple file.

Satellite A300-202 - External display turned a strange color

Hi,
I have a Satellite A300-202 with a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650, and after upgrade from vista to windows 7, my external display turned a strange color, seemed to lose the red color. Never show the white color, in which should show the white color shows the color blue.
I have uninstalled and installed again the graphic card drivers and update the new drivers but dont solved this trouble. My external monitor it's ok because I have tried with other laptop and don't have this trouble. I have also tried my laptop with other monitor and have the same trouble.
Anybody ever had this problem, someone who can help me?
Thanks,

Hi Xardas,
Yes I have problems only with the external monitor.
I tried both. Now I have the new beta version to the windows 7 64bits, downloaded from the amd/ati site, but I have tried also with the version available in the toshiba drivers page to my A300-202, and had the same problem.
Yes I have installed the new version of the BIOS too.
Thanks,

Firefox is not displaying the correct font color on my blog, but other browsers are.

I have a web designer issue. Firefox is not displaying the correct font color on the header in my blog. Explorer, Chrome, and Safari have no problems. The page is in css but this particular section has html code o designate color. The code is as follows:
<font face="helvetica" color="FF9966" size="1">blog</font>
Though all other browsers display the light orange color designated, Firefox displays white. Strangely, if if retype the code by spelling out a color, Firefox displays it correctly. i.e.
<font face="helvetica" color="black" size="1">blog</font>
... will give me black. You can see the effect by viewing the link below and looking at the word "blog" in the header, which should be light orange but is not in Firefox.

Actually it also seems to work in the current Firefox 4 beta as it is.
The code is not right though - the correct syntax for the color attribute with hex values is with a # at the start, so:
color="#FF9966"
It might work in Firefox 3.x if you change that.

Won't boot - no display, solid white light. Fans spin up and gets loud.

Hi Everyone,
I have a Core Duo 20" that won't boot. The display won't light up, and the white light stays on the whole time. No chime. Fans start slow, but then gradually gets very loud after over the course of a few seconds.
I've began taking it apart. One suspect area is the DC/DC Inverter board. The POWER_GOOD line is only showing 0.16V. Most power supplies uses signaling between 3V and 5V so I'm suspecious of this 0.16V POWER_GOOD signal.
Can someone help chime in (no pun intended), or verify the POWER_GOOD signal voltage of an early 2006 iMac Core Duo (2105)?
THANK YOU!
Yue

By the way, I've done AppleOption+PR (from my LCII days!), and have removed the logic board battery, waited, reinserted and retired without success. Thanks!

New iMac display problem(?) - weird colors and grain

Hello,
I'm a fresh mac user, made the switch this monday (August 27th) when my 24" iMac 2.4GHz C2D arrived. After using it for a while, I noticed a handful of dead pixels, and a semi-bright green stuck one. I thought I'd wait and see how disturbing I would find them before raising an issue about them.
Well, yesterday I decided to make my first backup of the whole system to my external 500GB Lacie drive (connected with FW800) using Super Duper!, which to my understanding is a reasonably sturdy and reliable backup application.
During the first backup iteration I started to notice some alterations in color in the top middle part of the display. I then returned to whatever I was doing (not on the mac, I had no other applications running, just Super Duper!), and after a while took another look at the display. The weird colored area had expanded, and the whole display had become somewhat grainy. Also, the backup process had slowed down quite a bit (from ~30MB/s to ~7-8MB/s).
So I cancelled the backup operation and logged out and back in again. No change. Then I restarted the whole system, which booted just fine, with none of the aforementioned problems. Even the second backup iteration went without problems.
Still, it's a new (and with my budget, quite expensive) computer, and if I get this kind of problem during the first week, I cannot continue using it happily in the fear of these problems reoccurring time and again.
I took a couple of pictures of this, one during and one after the problem. The quality of these are quite lousy, they're taken with my Nokia 9500 Communicator.
During the problem:
http://iki.fi/aita/imac/01notok.jpg
After rebooting:
http://iki.fi/aita/imac/02_ok.jpg
The images are taken in the same light conditions, but from slightly different viewing points. Note: The first image does not present reflections, it's how the screen looked (actually, in real life it looked somewhat worse)
What do you think?
Could this be a driver related issue or have I received bad hardware?
My drivers and Apple software should be up to date (at least OS X informs me that everything is, and I haven't found newer graphics drivers anywhere).
If anyone has had the same or related problems or know how I should proceed with this matter, I would be grateful.
Thank you in advance!

A few people, myself included, have experienced the same thing. Check these threads: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1082181&tstart=15

So far the only fix suggested has been to call apple and get a replacement. I'm still.....still waiting for mine to make it slowly across the ocean from China, so I don't know how the new one is working. I'd call Apple and request a new one.

Displaying Alternate row as colored in Cross tab

Hi,
I have a report where I need to display alternate rows as colored.
There is some data in detail section followed by a cross tab in the report header section.
While I am able to display alternate rows as colored in Detail secction for displaying alternate colored rows in Cross tab data I need some help.
Data in cross tab is like this
              history geography
Tammy   90          60
Sid         80          50
Julia       70        40
In cross tab for displaying alternate colored rows ie for alternate student names I am using two formulas
- for displaying row values I am using this one
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar d;
d := iif(d=100,255,100);
color(255,255,d);
For displaying alternate colored inner cells ie marks I am using this formula
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar c;
c := iif(c =255,100,255);
color(255,255,c)
I got these formulas after doing Googling
My cross tab is present in report footer and in the generated report it comes separeated in two pages.
In the first page data for Tammy and Sid is displayed while Julia is displayed on next page.
Now the Tammy is coming as yellow colored and as expected Sid is coming as white colored. However Julia which is on next page is coming as white , but logically it should have come as yellow. On the other hand my column data ie marks column is coming fine. Data for tammy and sid is coming as alternately colored and data is Julia on the next page is coming as yellow(as data for Sid is in white)
I am not able to understand why this is happening and what is the correct way to do alternate row coloring in cross tabs

Where is your variable c being reset.
If in page header or group header and you have repaet group header on new page then c will be reset on each page.
If In groupheader try adding this to reset formula
if not inrepeatedgroupheader then

Safari displays picture much lighter

Hey guys!
I've got a big problem with safari. In my website I'm using a 2 pictures with a background image.
These 2 pictures are displayed much lighter than they in fact are. This is really confusing for me, because they don't fit to the background anymore. This problem appears in Safari only. If i choose to see this picture alone it also has the lighter color and if i save this picture it has the original color again.
Have you got any ideas? The website is www.doggychic.at (I'm just getting started with it )
Thanks
