Quit safari is light gray rather than black what did I do

Help

Select  ▹ Force Quit... from the menu bar, then select Safari and press return.

Unreliable sound - speaker symbol greyed out and red light in 3.5mm jack

Had my MacBook for 3 years with no problems. But over the past few months, the sound has been very unreliable. It always works when external speakers are plugged in, but when using the internal speakers it's very temperamental. It will just suddenly grey out the speaker symbol on the menu bar at the top, and a red light is visible in the 3.5mm jack socket.
Any ideas???

Your Mac believes that a digital audio cable is plugged in. You can use a toothpick or unbent paper clip to toggle the DA switch off. It's located along the side of the port, not at the back whence the light emanates.

White light Gray or dark Gray...

Wow those are my choices and from what I read that is all there is.. I agree with the one post going to kill my eyes after a while even with the dark gray! Please develop some other themes for Office 2013!!

It's the worst. So confusing/depressing to look at. And what's with 2013? I am paying every month. Can't they even upgrade the year? Now that they are collecting an annuity stream, I guess everyone at Microsoft are all out on vacation...

My Apple TV 1st gen will now no longer play any of our iTunes music, although it shows a speaker symbol when you select play on the track. Please help?

Are you streaming or syncing you music? Sounds like you're streaming music directly from iTunes.
There can be many different issues. First, try power-cycling you wireless router (leave router disconnected for about 1 or 2 minutes) to refresh the wireless communication betweek both devices.
Make sure all software updates have been installed, for Apple TV and iTunes.

ITunes: I can no longer copy a playlist into a Pages (Word) document by using select all edit copy edit paste. Why won't this work now? All I get when I paste is a series of Speaker symbols.

I want to creat a copy of my playlists onto a Pages page. I selected all the entries in the playlist, then did Edit > Copy > Edit > Paste. I've done this lots of times before and it was fine; now when I paste all I get is a series of Speaker symbols, no text with of the playlist songs. Does anyone else have this problem? Thanks.

On my daughters iPad mini she can not send messages. She can receive them but the send button stays light gray after you type a message. It worked when we first set it up but now it does not. Tried resetting and logging out and back in. With no change.

I can not send messages on an iPad mini the send button stays light gray and will not send. I can receive. I reset and logged out and back inn with no results. It worked fine when we first set it up. Any suggestions?

Hello iMessage issues 1234,
Thank you for the details of the issue your daughter is experiencing with sending messages on the iPad. It sounds like you might have the Subject Field turned on. To disable this go to Settings > Messages > Show Subject Field.
iPhone User Guide - Messages settings
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iphf2d853e3
If the Subject Field is not enabled but messages are still not sending, I recommend continuing with the following article:

The only time the sound/speaker and mic don't work is when I answer or make a call

The only time the sound/speaker and mic don't work is when I answer or make a call. They both work fine for everything else. This has been going on for over a month. AT&T said it's Apple and Apple said it's AT&T. I've been around that cycle twice.
When I dial a call, I can see the status words on the screen but can't hear the ringing. If the person I'm calling answers, my screen will show the call was connected and the call timer will begin but I can't hear anything and they can't hear me. If one of us doesn't end the call, the timer keeps going and I'm being 'charged' for dead air. (Of course, one of us disconnects so mins/cost isn't an issue, I'm just adding the info in case it helps solve the problem.) If they don't answer, the call will go to their greeting but I can't hear it and wouldn't be able to leave a message anyway because my voice isn't going through. However, they will get a voice mail alert and see that I called but no message was recorded.
If some one tries to call me they will hear ringing but when I answer, they can't hear me and I can't hear them. If I don't answer, they will hear my greeting and can leave a message. I can retrieve and hear my voice mail. Trying speaker phone and headsets didn't change anything for calls out nor for calls in.
I have 4.3.3 and have synched, reset, rebooted, turned things on and off and off and on and took the SIM card out of the phone and out of it's tray and put it back in. I've done all that several times in just about every combination and order possible.
Hopefully the following will provide good clues: On only about three of the many attempts I've made to get it to work correctly that included taking out the SIM card, I could make and/or get one or two calls with no trouble but then the problem comes back. Also, when I swapped the SIM card with another iPhone4 on my plan, the other phone would work with my SIM card but my phone still would not work with the other SIM card. The last fact makes me think it is an Apple issue. I'll go to an Apple store (genius) this weekend. Will I be wasting my time and gas? Anybody have any experience with this problem?

Let me try and address some of your questions. I'm only on a pc, so a few of these answers might be slightly different on a Mac, but not too different (such as control click rather than right click).
First, when you buy something on your phone, be it apps or music, it's transferred from your phone to your Mac when you sync your phone. So those apps should now be in you iTunes library. ( IF for some reason you can't find them there, you should be able to download them again, either onto your phone or through iTunes. On your phone, go to the App Store > Updates and you'll see a "Purchased" link at the top of the page, you can view all purchased apps here and redownload them. In iTunes, you can go to Store > Check for available downloads. )
Whenever you plug your phone in, it should create a backup of everything you have on the phone. This is how, provided restoring your phone as a new device doesn't fix the issue (more on this later), you can put all of your music and apps onto the new phone. You can always plug your phone into your Mac and the first thing it should do when it syncs is create a backup. If you want to be sure, you can right click on your device in iTunes (on a pc) or I assume control click on a Mac and select "backup".
The genius will take care of the sim card and setting up your phone, however you will have to put all of your music and apps on it, unless you ask the genius, I've never bothered since I know how to do this.
You should have no problems restoring from a backup if they give you a new phone. However, it's probably safest to try and create a backup of your last phone backup before you restore it as a new device. I suggest you refer to http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414 for more information about that.
I've had no problems with my new phone so far.
I'll try to keep checking this thread if you have any other questions or need more clarification.
Edit: I should say we never did figure out what exactly was wrong with my phone. The only thing I can think of was that it got a lot hotter than the phone it replaced, and also the phone I just got yesterday to replace the malfunctioning one. But otherwise they saw no problems with the hardware, but acknowledged it must have been the hardware since we tried everything else. Also I would go with a list of all the things you tried with this phone, for your own reference and the genius's, especially if you're not confident in your tech skills Showing the genius that you've tried: different sim cards, updating the software, restoring it from a backup, and now restoring it as a new device, should convince them that you've done everything you could, and the only other answer is hardware problem.
Also if you don't already have one, make a genius appointment ASAP. Most stores are very busy and their appointments fill up fast. I always suggest making an appointment as early as possible, hopefully before the retail store hours when they've only got techs there because they usually are less stressed and have a bit more time to spend with you. The easiest way to make an appointment is to download the Apple Store app. It detects the closest Apple store from you and makes it quite easy to schedule a genius.

My Macbook Pro has a black screen when running in Bootcamp Windows 7. Since I updated the mac side my windows side now starts up with completely black screen - no prompt, nothing, Cap keys still light up as does mouse and DVD drive seems to run.

Will not show up in safe mode, will not show when started from Windows 7 DVD.
I suspect the Mac update wiped out my PC video drivers but can not think of a way to re-install?
Can see the PC volume from Mac side with files.
I've looked at all the online solutions so far and have tried most of them without success. Please help!

Specifically, the posts by Dunsany and valkyr did the trick. I booted in safe mode, uninstalled and deleted the Nvidia driver, disabled automatic driver installation, and restarted normally. I then manually downloaded and installed the previous Nvidia driver for my graphics card (which at the time of this writing was 335.23, rather than the latest which was 337.88), and everything is now bueno!
Two hiccoughs along the way: First, when I tried to uninstall the Nvidia driver the first time, when I restarted I got the login screen (which was a good sign), but it quickly went black again. I powered down, restarted in safe mode again, and repeated the uninstallation process, and it worked the second time. Second, when I started the manual install of the 335.23 driver, the computer played a sound similar to the one for disconnecting a USB device, and the screen went black. I'd seen a lot about trying to increase the brightness (though it hadn't worked up to this point; but if you haven't tried it yet, might as well); I tried it, and it worked! So far I'm back up and running. [/fingers crossed]
Hope this helps someone else!

Pages 5.5.2/OSX 10.10.2: "Look Up" a word function in Dictionary, text is light gray/unreadable.

I've been trying to fix this for a few days now and hope someone can help. I'm not sure when this started but when I "look up" a word by highlighting it and right clicking on it, all of the text information shown (i.e definition) is light gray on a gray background. Usually the text black and you can easily read it but mine is light gray. If I highlight the words in the text I can see it but thought the OS, Pages, Safari, etc, I experience the same thing only with the dictionary. I attached 3 images. Wikipedia works but Dictionary doesn't. Software is up-to-date and I restarted my computer/apps.

You say you are using OS X 10.10.2, and Pages v5.5.2. OS X 10.10.2 is not officially released yet. The Apple Support Community, and Apple's guidelines for beta non-disclosure do not permit us to talk about beta products here.
Now, of course, if you meant OS X 10.10.1 instead, I can tell you that my Pages v5.5.2 does not have the problem you have posted, and in fact, the yellow highlight boxes on my OS X release — feature rounded corners, and no drop shadow — which is contrary to what you have shown.
This leads me to question whether Pages v5.5.2 is not compatible with an OS X 10.10.2 beta release, or you have installed customization software on your Mac that is interfering with standard OS X, and Pages v5.5.2 visual design cues.

Light Gray Borders in Dark Grid View

With iTunes 9.0.2, I was able to switch to the "Dark" option of Grid View and it worked fine. However, I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and for some reason, the Dark Grid View option now shows light gray borders around the album art/video preview. When I click into the album art to show the listing of songs/videos, the view changes to the "Light" option. I've tried to delete all the iTunes preference files but it doesn't solve the problem. Here's what it looks like:

And when clicking on the video podcast link:

Thanks in advance for any help I can get.

If you have to reset your iTunes preferences, go into User/Library/Preferences. Search for "com.apple.iTunes" and move the following three files to your desktop:
com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist
com.apple.iTunes.plist
com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
Once you have the files to your desktop, restart your computer and iTunes should be back in working order!

IDT Audio ((((Missing Enhancements Tab )))) in Windows Sound Speaker Properties

I have owned a HP Pavilion G4 2129TX core i7 3632QM windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.
last week, my computer crashed in a big way so I reinstalled Windows 7. I figured out all of my drivers and my Sound Works fine. The only problem is that I no longer have access to the Enhancements Tab in my Windows Sound...
now my speaker seems too low in terms of sound not like as before.. my IDT driver is already updated but nothing changes. ..Any help to get it back would be appreciated.

Hi,
Whether you have an enhancement tab in the Sound properties window depends on the particular audio driver loaded - some give this option and some don't.
Try the following.
First of all, uninstall your current IDT driver from its entry in Programs and Features and when done, restart the notebook.
When windows has fully reloaded, download and install the version on the following link.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55501-56000/sp55977.exe
When the installation has completed, restart the notebook again before checking if the enhancements tab is now available.
