My DVD player only plays in black and white

Just got a new Toshiba HDTV (model no. 39L1350U) and am trying to hook up the DVD player. Got sound, but it only shows a black and white picture. The only way I get any picture at all is by plugging the yellow of the standard AV cable into the green jack. I know this is not right, but don't know where to plug in the yellow connection since there is no yellow jack on the back of the TV. Am I going to need a different cable? My DVD player is an old Sony.
Thanks.

My DVR670KU is about six year's old now. Been getting only a black/white picture. Was using and S-Video connecting cable to the TV. When I connected using an HDMI cable, now have the color again. Believe the S-Video cable failed/went bad. Was previously getting color from it though.

My iPod connects to my TV just fine, but it only plays in black and white,

i can connect it and get it to play videos, but it will only play in black and white. i know the videos are color, but none is coming up. any ideas on problems or ways to fix it?

So just the three RCA jack type, one side into your iPod's headphone jack and then Video and L&R Audio RCA plugs at the other end?
Did you check your iPod's video settings to make sure you are not sending out PAL when you want NTSC or sending out NTSC when you want PAL?

My burned DVD is playing in black and white only ?

When I burned my imovie using idvd the dvd will only play in black and white. I tried the DVD in two dvd players. Everything previews in color on imovie & idvd.
Did I accidentally click something or change a setting?

There are at least 2 possible scenarios here you may need to double check both.
1. You can do B&W in iMovie but apparently you say it previews fine and in full color within iDvd. Is this correct?
2. There are no loose connections or reversed cables on your camcorder or dvd player. Double check them and make sure they are all in the correct inputs (audio vs. video) and are snug and fit properly. If necessary, try all new cables or at the very least try a different set of cables.

Why Does My DVD play in Black and White and Not Color??

Hello,
I made a DVD of some video clips that I shot in color. The DVD plays fine on my computer (it plays in color), and it plays on the TV except it shows up as black and white. Other DVD's play just fine in color on the TV. What is the problem? Thanks!!!

The only two reasons I can think of that something would play in black and white are:
(a) you are using an S-video connection and there's a problem with a connector or cable. If the connection is loose or broken, you can see an image but it will be black and white.
(b) viewing a PAL disc on a NTSC TV... I've not tried it but I thought that you can sometimes see the image but that it is black and white. There would be other problems with the image too, though, not just a lack of color.
What make and model of player are you using? What kind of TV? Are you using composite or s-video or component connection? Are you using DVD-Rs or something else (-RW, +R, +RW, dual layer)?
Seriously, I can think of no reason why it would display in color on your computer, but not on your TV.

TV/DVD Combi DVD plays in black and white

I have a TV/DVD Combi 32DV502B. The TV is fine but when I press source on the remote and select DVD mode it comes up in black and white and the DVD plays in black and white. The only cables that come out of the TV are power and aerial cables. Can anybody help

That doesn't appear to be a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region.

Connected to a Dell 1525 laptop via usb cable

Unplug the printer, and uninstall it. Then download the Windows 7 CP1215 plug and play driver package from www.hp.com. Install the printer using that package.

Artwork only displays in black and white when adding to a song

Artwork when importing JPG only shows in black and white. Old artwork is OK in colour previously imported. Note these are for non-ITunes store purchased.

Never heard of that before!
Does it show up OK in Windows Media Player?
WARNING
You might want to set WMP options before you let it loose on your itunes content.
It doesn't matter if you never use WMP - its default settings allow webpages to open WMP in the background without you even knowing, and get info from the internet.
You need to turn this auto-update "feature" off in WMP in 4 places.
Player tab: everything unchecked so WMP won't touch your files
Library tab: everything unchecked, esp the box to retrieve info from the internet
Privacy tab: everything unchecked, esp the box to update files
Security tab: everything unchecked so web pages can't launch WMP in the background
You also need to check these 4 settings after every windows update that includes a WMP update, because it has reset them back to some of the defaults, I have noticed.

I have an HP deskjet color printer that only prints in black and white from my mac ... how do I get it to print in color

Check the printer itself. Some printers you need to set the color & B&W settings on the printer itself instead of the Mac. If that is not the case w/your printer, contact HP tech support and/or post in their forums if they have one.

Mini DV to Video only shows in black and white

I connected it to my tv at home and it worked perfectly, but when i try to connect it to my parents tv it only shows in black and white... both tvs are of roughly the same age...I'm connecting the yellow wire to the scart on the back of the tv to the yellow socket on the adapter

Laserjet 4700 only printing in black and white on windows7 systems

I have an HP Laserjet 4700 printer (Model Q7493A). It works perfectly fine in XP. When I have attempted to install it on a windows 7 system, it will only print in black and white.
I have downloaded the current universal print drivers from the HP website
I have other printers of the same model which don't have the problem.
I have tested this printer on other win7 systems and have recreated the issue.
It looks like for some reason this printer is only installing the Black and white drivers from the universal print driver.
Anyone have any thoughts?

This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!

RGB Only Prints in Black and White

My Illustrator CS3 seems to have developed a strange problem. If I create a new RGB based document, a 'Web Document' or a 'Basic RGB Document' for example, and the print it, I only get a black and white print. If I create a CMYK based document it prints just fine. I have also tried creating a CMYK document and converting it to RGB and that prints fine too, but if I create an RGB document and convert to CMYK again I get a black and white print.
I have checked each of the colour profile and print dialog boxes to see if there are any differences bewteen a RGB sourced document and a CMYK sourced document but can't see anything obvious. This problem seems to have developed over the past couple of weeks as it used to print RGB without a problem.
Any help would be much appreciated as I've been going round in circles with this for hours. I should perhaps add that I'm no Illustrator expert!
Thanks.

I have found a solution to the problem by installing and using the PCL 6.0 driver instead of the PostScript driver (interestingly the PostScript driver is recommended by Xerox).
I am guessing that there must be a small error/discrepancy in the Xerox PostScript driver as it works fine in all other applications and indeed even in Illustrator with everything but RGB colour mode.
This also stacks up against the way the problem materialised as it seems that the error is only apparent in the latest driver, the previous driver (as shipped on CD with the printer) works correctly (it was updated by a Microsoft Update Patch originally).
It would be nice to raise this problem with Adobe and Xerox, but I wouldn't know where to start, so I'll stick with the PCL driver.

My printer is Hp printer 932C it will only print in black and white not color

my printer is Hp printer 932C it will only print in black and white not color I got a new color cartage nothing still only printing in back and whit what can i do

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.

Only print in black and white.

Using the correct color ink print cartridge, my Photosmart 7660 will only print in black and white. How do I fix this? I've used the printer to print photos successfully a while ago and I don't think I changed anything, but it stopped working.

When installing the new cartridges, did you get the message "Original HP cartridges have been installed"?
Can you check the ink levels and actually see the been color displayed?
