Only black and white

I have plugged in my Apple TV using a yellow video cable into a non-HD tv. It only comes out as black and white. However for about 10 secs, before we tried to replug in the HDMI lead, it turned into colour. So it does work.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this back to colour?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I think I see what you are saying now:
You have the tv connected to a tv by the yellow lead of a composite connection set. You have it working in B&W. You did get colour for a short time, but now it's gone back to B&W. You want the colour back.
If this is correct it's not going to work, you may get B&W if you connect it to the right component port, you may even get flashes of colour (which you seem to have done), but this isn't an indication that it will work, it's not going to get any better than that.

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?

I have HP Deskjet 3510 connected wireless - problem is that it wants to print only black and white - is there a color button I am missing? The print quality report is fine in color etc.

I have a HP Deskjet 3510 and it wants to print only in black and white.
The Print Quality Report is fine and in color.
Is there a color button I am missing?

In the Print & Scan system preferences, does it indicate it is using a generic printer driver or a Gutenprint driver?
Also, if you click on Options & Supplies, you might want to check and see if has to be enabled. That kind of sounds odd though.
Another thing is it might not be showing. If the bottom of the print dialog has a button that says "Show Details," click it. Then, you can change settings in the popup menu.

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

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

PRINTS ONLY BLACK AND WHITE

My hp photosmart 5512 will only print in black and white on my gateway PC, but will print correctly on my laptops, does anyone know why?

I tried turning the printer on when it only said 35% but it still printed out in black and white. It hung at 35% after about 3 minutes so I don't think I could have waited it to get to 100%. Usually print jobs get in the queue in a matter of seconds so I don't think the workaround is working for me.

Output to printer only black and white

The output to my printer is only in black and white. The printer checks out ok and will print in color from other sources. Photoshop was printing in color formerly. All the settings are for color.

make sure you have the latest driver > http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadlist.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=hl3170cdw_all &os=132

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!

Only black and white
