My display/screen/everything is only black and white.

I have lost all colour.  I cannot find where to fix this.  I have gone through all the system preference settings and cannot find the relevant subject.  Can someone help please.

Thank you for your help.    Amazingly enough, just after I posted my question I stumbled upon the answer.   Sods Law.

  • My iMac computer screen is blurred by black and white lines.

    My iMac G5 screen is blurred by black and white horizontal lines and tiny rectangles. This occured after I woke it up from sleeping. Everything else seems to be working fine, but is impossible to see what I'm doing. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Fixed it! Rebooting the computer while holding down the command, option, P and R keys while letting the chime ring 4 or 5 times did the trick.

  • How do I set my Ricoh Aficio SP C220N to Default to print only Black and White?

    HI Guys can you help?
      How do I set my Ricoh Aficio SP C220N to Default to print only Black and White? When I check print Grey Scale box it uses the other colours to create the black instead of using the black toner cartridge. doing this from a PC works fine but not of a Mac and I am a newbie at this can you help as I don't want to waste any more colour ink unnecessarily.   

    Hi,
    Follow the steps below to print using Black Ink only:
    1. From the application used to print, click the File menu and select Print. The Print window appears.
    NOTE: The Print window might be minimized: Click the Show Details button to see all available settings.
    2. To access the color options, click the lowest selection box listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
    Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
    3. Select Paper Type/Quality from the drop-down menu.
    4. Click the triangle next to Color Options to expend the settings.
    5. Set the Color field as Grayscale.
    6. Set the Grayscale Mode as Black Ink Cartridge Only.
    You may save the settings for future use by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset...
    Any used preset will remain default so simply select teh standard preset to print in color.

  • Color LaserJet 2605dn Printing only Black and white

    I have a Color Laserjet 2605dn and all of the color ink cartridges have run dry. However the Black cartridge has over 2,000 pages of ink in it and the printer will not let me prink only Black and White. It seems the color cartridges must also have ink in them in order for the printer to print. Does anyone know a work around so that I can print with the Black Cartridge and not purchase the color cartridges?

  • Apple TV all of sudden displaying only black and white

    My previously normally working Apple TV is now displaying only in black and white. The TV with any other source is in color. I haven't touched any of the cables or connections, and to be safe, I double checked them all. I did a 'factory reset' and it's still in black and white. Should I presume hardware malfunction? Any other ideas.

    reset and after some delay suddenly working in color again

  • How can I prevent my screen getting covered with black and white lines while working on the internet which only happens with firefox and only go when I 'go back' or go down a page?

    It happens as I surf - horizontal black and white lines particularly when I scroll down and only goes if I can go to a new page or go back a page. It is driving me crazy and only happens with firefox. I have disabled all plug ins but it still happens.

    Try to disable hardware acceleration.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

  • My screen is now a black and white negative image - can I reverse it to col

    After 3 small children were near my computer - it was turned on , the screen is now black and white like a negative image, when starting up the initial checks of firewall etc are displayed on the normal colour screen then as soon as the start up is over it goes to Black and white. I have been through the settings on the computer but can not find any changes that have occured - I suspect the 3 toddlers have pressed everything at once
    Can anyone tell me how I can get the colour back?

    Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences
    and turn off the White on Black option under Seeing,
    as well as any other options which may have been
    inadvertently turned on or changed, such as the
    contrast.

  • My printer will not print in color, only black and white.

    I have an Epson NX 420. I have set it up to my laptop, and am able to print off of my computer. But when I go to print a document out of pages, even though it says it is in the color mode it only will print out in Black and White. Is there something I should be downloading? I do know that the printer can and does print in color, because everything works perfectly fine on my Windows computer.

    There are a few things to check:
    Make sure the blue tape has been removed from the nozzle plate.
    Print a diagnostic page as shown in method 4 here.  Does this page print color?  If so the issue may be your driver settings.  Check for a "Print in grayscale" setting and uncheck this box.

  • Apple tv in only black and white

    I just got an Apple TV, and I can't get it to show color; it is only in black and white. I have tried putting the red yellow and white cables in everywhere that they would really connect..anyone else have and fix this problem by any chance?

    yes but
    component cables are normaly 1 cable with 3 connectors in each end
    rather then 3 cables
    hdmi is 1 cable with everything
    it all comes down to what your tv support
    if it dont have component or hdmi you will never
    get it in colour unless you buy a converter
    hdmi is the best image quality

  • Cp1518 - on a mac - is there a way to choose only black and white printing only rather than overide?

    as above - can I just choose to do black and white only, or grayscale pictures on my cp1518?  alot of the time that is all I want.
    Thanks

    I suppose that would have helped! Here is an image. I am imagining a more "white" look even with a transparency. I have to print this 4c digitally, and i'm worried because my printout looks even more orange-y/pink than what you see on screen.
    I will try what you suggested in Photoshop, but let me know if you think of something else once you see the image.
    Thanks!
