Not sure what to do about the picture

This is what I get for clicking when I probably shouldn't have been. I've got a grainy picture and it the display has to be set at 256 colors or I can't see anything but black and neon type colors.

Hi bvarley: If you have changed the colours to 256 mode it is quite easy to get it back to normal. Go to "System Preferences" > "Dispalys" > "Colours" click on drop down arrows and set back to Millions. Another possibility is that you have activated some preferences within Universal Access. Go to "System Preferences" > "Universal Access". Check that contrast is set to normal, and other settings are as they should be.
Good Luck

  • I received a second iPad Air as a gift and sold on Ebay.  The person who bought it asked if is a Oem pad.  Not sure what that means.  The model part number is PF004LL/A

    I received a second iPad Air as a gift and sold on Ebay.  The person who bought it asked if is a Oem pad.  Not sure what that means.  The model part number is PF004LL/A.

    You can see the model number in Settings>General>About>Model. The model number has a two-letter code, a number and some more letters. The last part stands for the country/region. The first letter can be "F" (refurbished), "M" (normal retail), or "P" (personalized / engraved). For example MC605B is the model MC605 and B is for the region.
    What country does my device belong to?

  • Download I-Tunes 11.1.4 Failed: says Apple Mobile Device failed to start.  seems like it has something to do with MSVCR80.dll, but not sure what to do about it

    Says Apple Mobile Device failed to start.  Seems like it has something to do with MSVCR80.dll, but not sure what to do about it.  Now I have no Itunes at all

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

    hi all everytime i try to downlod itunes it reaches maybe 97% and then it times out i am not sure what seems to be the problem because my internet connection is fine.. any ideas???

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the iTunes forum appropriate for your system (Mac or Windows).

  • I'm having trouble with the sync all feature and i'm not sure what to do about it

    i'm using Lr 5.3 on a windows 8.1 and a really fast laptop "can render movies in after effect in minutes"
    the problem i'm having is when i click the sync all button and the top loading bar moves like everybody, only the pictures viewed in my bottom slider will change even if i leave it for hours and this happen with big and small number of pictures so i tried reinstalling it and that didn't work
    i do a lot of timelapses and i thought maybe if i export the video they will show with the edited settings and that didn't happen and it showed the pictures that i havent moved to view blured, like the same blue when you move fast between raw pictures
    so i t tried exporting them and that worked fine but takes ages, the pictures still didn't change in the viewer but all the exported pictures did and thats not helping me in my job !
    FIND ME A SOLUTION please cause i'm dealing with 500-1000 picture here and i need to move the slider every 20 sec or so every picture is changed and this takes time and effort  guys !

    It could be overheating..........thing is ....i never realy though ibooks got that hot....the ibook does not even have a cooling fan...at least my blueberry 300mhz doesn't.
    I would have to say sounds more like your hard drive may be starting to fail you.

  • Graphic Designer Pismo G3 Owner not sure what to do about upgrading...

    Ok. Here's the scenario.
    I'm running my Powerbook G3 Pismo(Firewire) 500 MHZ, 512MB ram, 20GB hard Drive. Dead Battery. Daystar Superdrive CD/DVD Burner.
    I also run OSX Panther 10.3.9. Most of my graphics programs are still on OS9, while I websurf and do a few things in OSX.
    Now I just got a job for the summer as an adjunct prof. teaching web and flash design classes. Their computers run Photoshop CS2, Flash 8 and Dreamweaver 8. I'm running on OS9, Photoshop 6, Flash 6 and Dreamweaver 6. I find that my Macromedia programs are dual compatable and I've been able to run them on OSX as well. They possibly want me to do Final Cut Pro too and I'd have to learn that program, because my video knowledge is based in Premiere... but I know you really can't run that program unless you have a G5 tower, or Macbook Intel. I'm not quite sure if I trust the Intel books yet. It's too soon.
    I'm looking to upgrade situation but I'm broke at the moment. I'm going to have to ebay a lot of stuff I find in my basement to upgrade my computer. I can either go the XLR8 Daystar Route and do the G4 upgrade... which I believe would cover the first three programs... or I could get a new ibook G4.... or I could really save and get a new Macbook... but everything is so up in the air because all the graphics programs run through Rosetta. If it's anything like Classic... I hate running programs through emulators. They're so sluggish.
    Any suggestions? I'm just getting back on my feet again in the design world after a 2 year hiatus getting my masters in education.... help me!

    Or you could go into debt and buy the new Macbook Pro using Apple financing. since you are in the profession I think that you should make a giant leap so that you'll have a computer capable of doing what needs to be done for the foreseeable future, as far as that is in the computer world-NOT!
    If you are still afilliated with a University you can get the apple Education Store discount, which somtimes is greater than twhat the Apple employees can get. I know that for certain because I am retired from the Univ of Texas austin and one of my daughters works here for Apple.
    You would be saving money, sort of, in the long run. The money you'd be investing into the Pismo would go towards the new computer. Pismos are great, I just sold mine on ebay for $750.00! Saving up fgor when my G4 Mini Tower gives out! good luck.

  • Hi, my Macbook recently created a network with my name and password on accident. As i deleted this and tried to connect to my wifi, it didn't allow me to see or connect to my wifi router. Not sure what to do about this.

    Hi, I recently unknowingly made a network for my wifi at my home. I deleted it because I didn't want to have a password on it because I live at home. When i tried to reconnect to the wifi, it didn't even show up in my wifi options. Can't connect to it or anything. Any help here?

    "A lot of the time it just pops up on its own."
    It will pop up if it detects there is an update and you haven't set it not to pop up automatically. You may need to reset the AE back to factory spec and set it up again. Read the manual for the reset.

  • My Macbook air keeps getting a message saying that the startup disk is full. I don't have picture, music, or movies on it. Im not sure whats wrong with it.

    My Macbook air keeps getting a message saying that the startup disk is full. I don't have picture, music, or movies on it. Im not sure whats wrong with it.

    The first step is to check and see how much space really is there.  From the desktop right click on the drive in the upper right corner (at least it's there by default) and select "Get Info" to see how much space it reports as free.
    It's not just media files that eat up disk space, though they are often a major contributor.  Do you happen to be running one of the virtual machine programs (Parallels or VMWare Fusion)?  When you create a guest drive there you normally have a fairly decent amount of disk space dedicated to it and that can fill the drive.
    As well, a quick fix that may buy you some time is to empty the trash if you've not done so recently.  Click on the trash folder in your dock and then in the window that comes up select the option to empty the trash.
    If you can free up some space, there are programs that will help you find what files and directories are using disk space.  I've used Space Gremlin (in the App store) for that sort of thing, though there others.  If you run that sort of utlity you'll get some idea about what is really eating up the drive space.

  • I RECENTLY BOUGHT SOME SONGS FROM ITUNES BUT THE SOUND QUALITY WAS REALLY BAD. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO?

    i bought some songs yesterday that i really liked but when i was listening the sound quality was really bad. it just ruined the song almost. i am not sure what to do about it.

    You might try listening to the songs from other devices or systems to make sure it doesn't have to do with your computer specifically.
    Also try to preview the songs from your computer and any other devices if possible to see if the preview sounds any different.
    If you're still having issues you should contact iTunes support:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
    Once you get there, choose Music Purchases from the list, then choose Music Purchases again, and it will let you Email them directly about the issue.
    Give them the names of the songs you bought and as detailed a description of the audio issue as possible.

  • Eloaded 10.5 OS, now can't remember how to or am unable to add blank sub bookmark blanks..not sure what to call them...blank title pages to file bookmarked pages under

    Do you mean bookmark folders? i.e. you can arrange all of your Sports Sites in the same folder.  If so then click on Bookmarks and click the all bookmark folder.

  • What is different about the new Airport Extreme?

    I've been waiting for a refresh of the Airport line before I buy a new one; I can't tell if the new one is available or not.  What is different about the Airport Extreme that the FCC listed in June 2011 from the October 2009 model?  I currently have the UFO-shaped Airport from 2003 and it doesn't have enough ports on the back, so it's time to upgrade.
    So... what's different?  Is it out yet?

    What is different about the Airport Extreme that the FCC listed in June 2011 from the October 2009 model?
    We don't have any official announcement or specifications from Apple regarding this so called June 2011 model. At any given time there are dozens of rumors floating around on the Internet regarding new products.
    The terms of use agreement of the forum.....which we all agreed to.....do not permit us to discuss a product that has not been officially announced from Apple.
    When/if that occurs, and Apple has provided us some specifications to look at.....we can talk about the "new" product.

  • My MacBook Air's storage is full.   When I look at the storage, most of what is taking up the space is "other".  I am not sure what these application or documents are but would like to reduce this so that I can store more pictures to edit.  Any advice?

    When I look at the storage, most of what is taking up the space is "other".  I am not sure what these application or documents are but would like to reduce this so that I can store more pictures to edit.  Any advice on how to find out what takes up this much space so that I can clear some off? 

    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion's Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

    After restoring to factory settings/new iPod you will then have to restore from backup
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        

  • I use my mac book to dj. however, i tend to get the beach ball alot. is this due to lack of memory or is it something else. ive been thinking about getting more memory but i am not sure what the issue is

    I use my mac book to dj. however, i tend to get the beach ball alot. is this due to lack of memory or is it something else. ive been thinking about getting more memory but i am not sure what the issue is...i would like some advice before i go and buy more memory if it is not needed... i also do not keep my music on my lap top

    Okay, so we've eliminated the lack of space since you have plenty.
    See the screenshot from my Mac here:
    Page ins and page outs - post those (or just post the same type of screenshot). If you have a lot of those, that means that your machine needs to keep swapping RAM around to make the best of what is available which can result in slow responses.
    Also post the total amount of RAM you have (in my case, I have 12 GB)
    You free RAM of 221 MB is very, very low - I'm guessing you only have a total of 2 GB. If that is the case, I would absolutely max out the machine (if you don't know how much RAM you can put in, post your model number here so we can help with that).

  • HT1386 i've already synced my itunes on my laptop with my iphone but it's not synching all of the albums/songs.  Everything was purchase through itunes so i'm not sure what the issue is.

    i've already synced my itunes on my laptop with my iphone but it's not synching all of the albums/songs.  Everything was purchase through itunes so i'm not sure what the issue is.

    What settings do you have in iTunes? Is it set to sync all music, it is set to sync only checked songs? Is there anything different about the songs that it is not syncing. Is it possible they were they purchased with a different Apple ID?
