My iPad 2 screen has turned a weird colour. The background is black and the letters are white instead of the other way round and colour photos look like negatives. How do I change it back.

My IPad screen has turned a weird colour, the background is white and the letters white instead of the other way round.  Colour photos look like negatives. How can I turn it back to a white background.

Dear Steve,
You are wonderful! You are the best! I'm Stephania and I recently purchased a refurbished ipad2. I've had it for about 3 weeks now and updating & fixing it so my liking. The only thing that I couldn't correct were the photos that looked like negatives. Every photo, even on the internet, on apps, everywhere! I just couldn't figure out how to fix it. I contacted Apple Care and its too difficult to get in touch with them. I had looked through support before but didn't put in the right question. Well, today I got lucky. I did the two things you suggested and turning the "White On Black" off did the trick. I'm so happy! I had a feeling it was something simple and this is not even in the manual!

  • IPhone screen and photos look like negatives of images.

    I have a new Apple iPhone 4.  Screen and color was fine....photos looked great.  Now display screen and photos appear to look like negatives of the image.  What's up?  Can't seem to be able to find a setting to change it back to look normal.  Have only had for 5 days.

    Thanks so much.......I thought it might be something my son and niece did....just couldn't figure out what they did.

    You talking about the empty canvas border around the image?  On a PC one would normally open a document in tabbed view, then right-click the mouse in the space around the outside of the document.  Then you can change the color.

  • The field around my document turned red from gray, How to I change it back?

    The screen around my image turned red. How do I change it back to dark gray?

    I always think of Canvas as the image area, but if you right click and choose Custom the resulting dialog is named Custom Canvas Color so I guess that's what it is called.
    BTW  I usually hesitate to take short, lacking in detail, questions fully at face value, so as well as custom canvas colour, I also wondered if the OP has a selection active, and has turned on Quick Mask.  The default for QM is, after all, to have the unselected pixels highlighted, and in 50% red.

  • My iPad screen has developed a vertical line down the middle

    My iPad screen has developed a vertical line down the middle for some reason. I have tried turning it off and resetting it, but the line still appears. Does anyone know what causes this or how it could be rectified?

    Hi JoMayo,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you're noticing lines or distortion on your iPad screen, I would suggest completing step 4 (update iPad) and 5 (restore iPad) in our iPad assistant:
