Only opens in black and white...color is gone.

When I place a photo file into my new blank file in photoshop elements 5.0 (I know it's old) it will convert my picture to black and white. How do I get my photoshop to go back to opening my files as they are, in color??? PLEASE HELP!!!???

Next time you create a new blank file look at the color mode (towards the bottom of the new file window) and make sure that it's set to RGB, too. If the last thing you've copied in another program is text, PSE will start with that setting at grayscale and then everything you put into the file will turn black and white.

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.

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.

Why do ipods come in many awesome colors and iphones only come in black and white?

Why do ipods come in many awesome colors and iphones only come in black and white?

The only answer is because that's what Apple decided. No one here knows any more than that.
You should put a case on it anyway so buy one in the color you want.

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?

Photoshop CS5 only prints in black and white

Photoshop CS 5.1 only prints in black and white. It is not a new printer (Kodak) and I have printed in color in photoshop in the past. All other applications will print in color. Have removed the settings folder, but that did not do anything.

This sounds like a conflict with your printer's driver and Ps. Have you looked at a newer one?
Have you checked the Color settings in your printer's driver? Many, like most of my Epsons, can be set to B/W only. Those settings are on a print-job basis, and once I exit from a program, they are not usually retained, and go to the default, however that has been set.
Please let us know model and then driver numbers, as there might be something there.
Good luck,
Hunt

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.

Films only showing in black and white

hi,
I've just got the Iphone and when I try and watch a film from Itunes through my tv using the AV composite cable it will only show in black and white. The cable is new and when I've tried it with my 5th gen Ipod it works fine. I've checked the connections and everything seems to be hooked up OK. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Printer only printing in Black and White

My printer ( HP deskjet 920c) is only printing in black and white. How can I change settings to print in color ?

Which version of OS X are you running? I don't see the Deskjet 920c as a supported printer here -->> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP.
Usually, on my Canon PIXMA MG8220, it's just a matter of setting up the printer to print in color mode in the Print dialog box.

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?

Select a document, CMD+P, and set the color options as shown here:

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.

Only opens in black and white...color is gone.
