My desktop has gone blue!

I just used 'TeamViewer' to have a meeting with my web designer, & ever since, my Mac is behaving really strangely (I don't know if the two are connected); first my desktop image has vanished & the desktop is totally blue. I cannot even put the original image back as the 'System Preferences' does not show my foldres where images are stored; it shows 'pictures' - but this goes to a strange folder that I don't even recognise; this is not the folder where my pictures are stored.
I've also noticed that some of my pictures in a recent folder I was working on have vanised; there was a folder of 60 images & now there are 3 in there.This is REALLY wierd; does anyone have any ideas what is going on here, is this some kind of bug...?

My I pad has a red blotchy screen and keypad has gone blue? Any ideas how to solve?

MY iPad has a red blotchy screen and keypad has gone blue, any ideas if I can rectify this?

This happened to me a few times. Take the case off and sit down, give it (Back side of ipad) a hard smack on your thigh, but do it in a way that the back lands flat on your leg. There are some component cables that can come loose and this smacking motion can cause them to go back into place.
*be cautious so you don't dent the Ipad*

IPad screen has gone blue/green and will not work

My iPad 1 screen has gone to black when it is turned on and willl not work. Screen stays blue/green for about 30 seconds and then turns off. Unit is charged fully and has been updated to current operating software. Gerry

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If that doesn't work then you could see if you can get it into recovery mode and restore it to your last backup : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
But you might need to contact Apple.

Hi, All the information that I had on my desktop has gone, except for the hard drive logo, how can I get it back please?

Hi Ronda,
Thank you for the reply, underneath the hard drive logo, it says 55.77GB. 12.88GB free, do you think that it is too full? if so, what do I do to reduce it, you can probably tell computers are not my best subject. I include the Hardware overview, I hope that this helps

I have an apple 1 tv and the colour has gone blue and yellow. What can I do?

Colour gone on apple tv 1 - what can I do?

Oops - AppleTV1.
Unpower and restart it.
Check the HDMI cable.
Change the HDMI cable.
Use a different HDMI socket on the TV.
Try it on a different TV to be sure it's not your TV.
If not using HDMI try component out to the TV.
If you can boot to diagnostics menu (menu and down arrow for 6 secs) run diagnostics. You can also factory restore from there but that wipes it to shipping firmware (if version 1.0 it can be a faff to update it again) and removes all content ans settings so beware.
If all fails I suspect a failing logic board or GPU and it's probably not economical to repair even if Apple would offer you a repair which I doubt.

Desktop picture has disappeared and screen gone blue

my 18 month old has got to my keyboard, and my desktop ahs gone blue and my picture gone, and the menu bar across the top keeps disapperaing, I have tried changing the picture but it makes no difference, help please?

If none of that helps try this...
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

Screen gone blue

screen has gone blue and no settings have been changed.

Make an appointment at your local apple store and have them take a look at it.
you can try resetting the device, hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. See if it reboots. But honestly, even if it does, I'd take it in and have the pros take a look at it.

I have a Samsung Network Extender, model SCS-2U01, and for the past two weeks, the SYS light has gone from solid blue to a blinking red light, disconnecting me from my business calls. In reading the forums, it was mentioned that Verizon had to reset something on their end to fix the issue. Would you be able to confirm if something needs to be reset to fix the issue? Thank you!

First, try the normal stuff: power cycle your modem, router, and NE allowing time for each component to stabilize before turning on the next in sequence modem > router > NE. If necessary, try resetting your modem and router. If it still doesn’t work verify it is listed in MyVerizon and then calling Verizon Wireless Customer Service at (800) 922-0204. Good luck!

Desktop won't start and has no blue lights

My pavilion elite desktop has had a high pitch noise since I bought it. I read that the video card could cause that so I got a new video card but it made the same sound. I tracked the sound down to the psu. I returned the video card and got a new psu. The noise is got but the machine doesn't boot up now. All fans come on but no front panel lights no keyboard lights no monitor output. Tried putting the old psu back in. The noise was back but still no boot. I tried removing each piece of hardware till all I had was memory and hd left and still no lights. I swapped memory locations, sata cables, tried the card reader trick. Nothing seems to work. Could a blown led for the front panel cause it to not boot? That's the only connector I have left since I need it to power on.<br><br>Thanks for any ideas.

Desktop is Gone, Mail and Safari were reset and a host of other problems

So, I opened my iMac G5 today and the first thing I noticed was that some of my widgets were gone, particularly all the ones that didn't come with the OS X installation (meaning the other ones I downloaded from different sites). And then I noticed that I couldn't access any of my mail when I looked at them in Mail. I was given an error message that read something like this: "you cannot view this message. it has not be downloaded from the server. you must go online". So anyway, I decided to shut down and turn my computer on again. And I was shocked to see that my desktop was gone, and my wallpaper had reverted back to the default wallpaper (but I was atleast able to find all the files that used to be on my desktop). And now, Mail has been reset (meaning, when I launch it, it asks me to set up a new account). iChat has been reset the same way as well. And for some very odd reason, my Safari browser has lost it's tabbed browsing ability, and I've lost all my bookmarks. I checked the version, and it says 2.0.4. Did I somehow revert back to on older version of Safari. So far, those are the only problems I've discovered. I'm terribly hesitant to turn my computer off again in fear that I might lose some more files for good.
Anyway, I have an idea of what the culprit might be. I downloaded this program from VEOH.com and decided to uninstall it last night. It came with an "uninstall how to" that asked me to type some stuff in Terminal (I knew I should have just kept that **** program!). This is what it asked me to type:
prompt> sudo /Applications/Veoh.app/Contents/Resources/uninstallveoh.sh
And then Terminal asked for my admin password, and I hit the Return key. Would anyone know, if this is what could be causing me all these problems? I also recently installed Yahoo 3.0 Beta 1. It conflicts with Mail. I can't open Yahoo 3.0 when Mail is running.
Also, I found the bookmarks.plist file for Safari. I'm wondering if I can somehow do something with this file so that I can get my old bookmarks back. Would really appreciate any help!
Ugh! I feel like a such a Windows user right now.

Hi, Barry.
Thanks for the reply! I've found all of my files (the ones that used to be on my old desktop), and I've been able to restore my bookmarks and all my old mail. Also, I just had to recheck "enable tabbed browsing" in Safari Preferences. I think I just figured out what I did wrong: I renamed my "home" folder. I was gonna change it back to it's original name, but I forgot to. Stupid me. So after restarting, I think it just moved all of my files into a new folder which I can still access by going to Macintosh HD >>> Users. All the files are there, including the widgets that I thought were missing. So now, I essentially have 4 folders under users, but I only have 3 user accounts. You think I can restore everything back to normal by just copying all of the old files back into my home folder again? But at any rate, I think I can live with having all my files just living in another folder. I lost my old "music", "pictures" and "movies" icons though (the ones at the left sidebar of the Finder window). Those are the only things I can't seem to find. So I just downloaded new icons.
What's a good brand of external firewire drives? I'm thinking of getting a Maxtor OneTouch III. Would you recommend that?

My desktop has gone blue!
