My Computer has gone Negative

My son snuck in and played with the computer and now all the colors are negative! I can't seem to fix it and it's only on my profile. How can I fix the colors?

  • Since upgrading to Firefox 6 my computer has gone from staying up until yearly power failures to crashing many times a day.

    VERY strange. I upgraded to 6 when it came out and it took me quite a few days later to figure out WHY I went from no crashes to nvidia driver crashes MANY times a day.
    It was firefox 6.0.
    I thought my nvidia drivers were out of date. They were one version behind so I upgraded. Crash.
    I thought maybe some kernel interaction might be an issue so I compiled up the latest Linux 3.0.3 and re-installed the nvidia drivers.
    Still crash. Took me a few more days to realize the only thing that changed on my system was Firefox. I usually upgrade without thinking.
    I switched to Opera. Not a single crash in a week. So it is Firefox. I dug and dug and dug on google and found a remote reference to some acceleration added in 6. I disabled it. It still crashes. I have moved back to Firefox 5 and have run all day without a crash.
    My computer at home runs about a dozen web sites, 2 X servers on separate consoles (one for standard browsing and all other functions and one for World of Warcraft gaming - I like to keep them separate), FTP, TeamSpeak server ver 2 & 3, NFS for terrabytes of media files, lets just say many things. Firefox 6 killed me.
    What more info do you need. Sorry I pasted ver 5 Troubleshooting Info, but I need a special request before I run anything greater than 6 on this system again. I will do it if needed but I will need a reboot to prevent all these kernel/video driver crashes.
    ONLY when I run Firefox 6. After some small usage (while watching xine videos or web browsing youtube, playing WoW, or who knows what) the screen FLASHES and I know a freeze is eminent. If I can get one last xterm up I can dmesg and see these messages or if I log in with my android phone via SSH. I still have control of the system just no display. I can reboot there or Alt-Sysrq Sync, Unmount, Boot to restart my system many times a day.

    That is probably rather unlikely. The updates are released ''throttled'' initially to a portion of users so that any major problems will be picked up before everyone gets it.
    It is also run through a staged procedure releasing as six weeks each in Nightly -> Aurora -> Beta versions. Although some code change will occur in that process. The Releases also must also pass automated testing.
    Once the Release happens then we can look for problems showing up from: the crash reporter, the input feedback, telemetry,and comments on this forum.
    Problems do and always will get through but it is unlikely a problems causing Firefox not to start would go unnoticed unless it only affected a vanishingly small proportion of users (nearly 1/2 Billion total),and then it would possibly be because of specific hardware or interactions with other software.

    Presumably you installed the conduit plugin deliberately and like it. A simple web search suggests many users may be unhappy with that software. Search

    It is suggested that you scan with multiple varied and up to date tools not just one as they tend to pick up different things.

    If that was Crucial, it's OK. Your Mac can address a maximum of 6 GB.
    Don't be surprised at all if you install 6 GB and your Mac suddenly appears to use all 6 GB, or nearly so. Your above screenshot shows only 33 MB "compressed" and no swap used, so it is still well within comfortable limits for the programs you were running at the time.
    Apple's presentation regarding this new Mavericks feature implied that it is capable of achieving an effective increase of as much as 50% over actual installed RAM. In other words, it is theoretically possible that your existing 4 GB will perform as if it were actually 6 GB. This is one reason that upgrading to Mavericks results in new life for "old" Macs, but the comment applies to any more resource-limited Mac.
    Additional memory is almost always beneficial, just make sure to purchase it from a vendor known to supply memory that meets Apple's stringent specifications. Crucial and OWC / MacSales are the only two that I have used and can personally recommend.

  • All text on computer has gone into symbols

    Suddenly I cannot read any file names or help menus or anything on the computer, as all text has converted into some kind of symbol font

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and the support article linked below for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them, then boot in safe mode* (by holding down the shift key at the startup chime) to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.
    Mac 101: Font Book
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case only, after running Font Book, launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    sudo atsutil databases -remove
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. After running the command, reboot as usual.

  • E-mail counter for POP3 account has gone negative

    When all e-mails are read the e-mail counter shows "-1/0".  Anyone else have this problem?  Is there a fix?

    Yeah it's just an annoyance really.  It now says "-2/0", while my empty deleted items folder has a 2 next to it.  Weird.  I noticed an e-mail dated Dec 31,1969 just before it went to -2.  I always delete everything anyway since all messages are saved at home, so I suppose I could delete the account and set it up again.

  • Computer has gone wireless suddenly.

    Yesterday my computer suddenly went wireless.  How do I change it back to modem/router only?  If it's any help my router is a model MI424WR.  I can't find any info online and I'm technically challenged.

    I would verify that your wired conncection on your computer is active. IF you do not use wireless it can be turned off on your PC or laptop.
    Please post the Operating System (Windows & version or MAC) on the computer and tell us if you ever need to use wireless (such as a laptop used in a coffee shop)

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

    Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.
