Red/Deep Orange Screen?

Hi.. have no idea, new to imac.
Kid changed the settings and now the screen is too red. have tried to reset but failed.
Can anyone tell me how to reset or maybe what the manual resets are?
Went to Factory Settings and held down option button and clicked but still red.
Kid went into screen settings and changed everything.
I don't know what the settings should be. Have tried everthing for hours, colour calibration etc. no success..
Mac OS 9.1
Indigo

Imac early 2001
I don't know what model is?..

Let's just take a minute to confirm that it's a software issue (I'm sure it is) .Insert the original orange coloured* restore CD that came with your iMac. Go to Apple Menu > Control Panel > Start-up Disk > select the CD and choose restart.
When the iMac boots in normal colours we know it's software! Go back to Start Up Disk Control Panel and restart using the Hard Disk.
Go to Apple Menu > Control Panel > ColorSync. Try changing the profiles there.
You should also try changing the Color [sic] options in the Monitors Control Panel.

* My disk was orange in late 1999 on my iMac 400, but by late 2001 Apple started using a grey colour for Original install/restore disks which it has stuck to since.

Has anyone seen an "orange" screen?

Has anyone ever had an orange screen? the whole screen goes orangish red - then I ppower down and restart - it is fine. This is the first time this has happened - though I have had grey screen before.

Hi Donna...
Could be the graphics card causing the orangish red.
Run the Apple Hardware Test to rule out any hardware issues.
If the AHT doesn't report any problems, if you are running v10.4, 10.5, or 10.6: Try here > Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startupI
If you have Lion v10.7 installed, follow the instructions at that link for resetting the PRAM. If that doesn't help, try a Safe Boot.
Tip: Helps to tell us which Mac OS X you have installed when you post

My iphone 6 shows a red or black screen every half an hour or so.

Its becoming a frustrating problem. Whenever it happens it shuts off. I have already reseted all settings and it continues to do this. Will Apple replace my iPhone 6?

Hello ipodred10,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If you continue to have issues with intermittently seeing a colored screen just prior to your iPhone restarting by itself, you may want to try the troubleshooting outlined below for a somewhat similar issue:
If your device gets stuck during startup
When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
Sincerely,
- Brenden

Orange Screen when switching

Hello, I recently bought a 15" mac book pro and partitioned the hard drive and installed 64 bit windows 7 on it, recently when switching from OSX to windows 7 using boot camp a orange screen with a white line will display and the computer is locked up. When turned off and turned back on windows 7 usually starts normally. I hadn't seen a similar topic on a similar problem and was wondering if I should be concerned.

I know exactly what you mean regarding Orange, ever since they were taken over by France Telecom they have been going downhill.
I ported away all of my Orange contract and PAYG numbers a few months back to o2 and Tesco myself.
I find the Orange branding on my old unlocked 6230 that I gave my mother serves as a reminder that they will never get a penny from me again. The branding does not affect any functionality as far as I can tell on Tesco.
I did have bluetooth issues with mine, so I had it updated at a Nokia service centre to 5.50 which cured most of the problems. If your handset is out of warranty they can charge anything up to around £20 for the firmware to be updated and depending on how you had it unlocked it could come back relocked to Orange, you could also have a word to see if anything can be done about the Orange branding if it still irritates you while you are there.
First use the search to see if your question has already been answered...
Secondly I will not knowingly assist in breaking the forum rules.
My information is always changing, what I post at the time is usually true.

Red static, flashing screen on Apple TV. Brand new

I have three TV's in my house and the Apple TV is not working on any of them. The only results I get is on one TV, which is a red, static flashing screen vaguely displaying the setup screen. I have tried 5 different cables and a converter box, still with no results. I have taken the Apple TV to work where I hooked it up to a TV, my computer monitor, tested all 5 cables and it works fine. All my TV's at home have multiple HDMI ports and it doesn't work with any one of them.
I have also done the reset through ITunes, tried again with no results. Brought it back to work and it still works there. The TV's in my home are about 7 years old, could they be out of date already?! This is why I don't try to keep up to date with electronics. As soon as you buy something it it's already out of date. It's like buying a car ... depreciates $3000 as soon as it leaves the lot. Products are manufactured, released and the new version has already been built just waiting around for 6 months to be released. I hate this because I now have a paperweight that can't be returned because my wife purchased it through Groupon and they have a 14 day return policy which has lapsed.
cables I've tried
Amazon cable with Ethernet
1.3
1.4B
Not sure what the other 2 are
Does anyone want to buy a paperweight?

If its working with the monitor(s) at work then the issue lies with your TVs at home. It's hard to say what exactly, I have an ATV working just fine on a 8 year old TV so I don't think it's purely age that's the factor.

Netflix app is stuck in a loop. Tapping the icon sends you to the NETFLIX red sceen. Screen says it's loading but it reverts back to the icon screen. I've removed and reinstalled the app half a dozen times. Anyone have a fix?

Try resetting your iPad by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Media Encoder Orange screen when encoding mts files

I'm trying to convert 1080p files from my Canon Vixia HFM41 to Youtube 720p using the Media encoder, and it typically works for about 20 seconds and then hangs up and I get an orange screen. At that time I can see it dumping RAM and the CPU usage goes down to zero. If I let it continue, sometimes it'll finish, but the video has long sections of orange screen.
I'm using latest versions of Premiere and ME with a Windows 7 machine. i7 2.2 ghz core, 8gigs of RAM, Nvidia cuda core GPU, SSD. Basically, the machine shouldn't be the problem.
BTW, I encode GoPro vids all the time with no issues. It's only these .mts files that are causing this.
Please help.

It does NOT play back in Premiere in its native format, which is why I started looking into converting it in ME prior to editing in Premiere. It drops frames even on 1/2 resolution in the preview window. I tried to force a timeline render and it hung up and gave me orange frames....even though the yellow line indicated it didn't need to render to play back ok.
I'm sure it's not hardware related, because when I had Premiere 5.5 on a significantly slower computer I routinely edited the same footage without converting.
I suppose I should start a new thread in the Premiere section to figure that out as well, but it still annoys me that ME isn't converting properly.
Any ideas?

IMac Boots Directly to Solid Orange Screen

My iMac has been freezing quite a bit lately to the point that only a hard restart helps. I'd been noticing it one evening while trying to play World of Warcraft, so I decided to quit playing the game and try to figure out what's wrong. Verified the disc in disc utility and found it didn't need repair, and then decided to try a virus scan. Since the scan was taking a while, I left my iMac on overnight.
When I woke up this morning, the screen wouldn't completely come back to "awake". I tried to get it to come back with no success, and eventually hard-restarted the computer again. The imac now boots into a solid orange screen. (From startup chime -> screen with apple and loading wheel -> solid orange). I can't find anything about that in the FAQ. Does anyone know what might be wrong?

What are you using as your antivirus software (which btw is a total waste as there are ZERO virus's for Macs.) If the AV software is a Norton product immediately uninstall it using Norton's unistaller. Norton seems to create more issues than it solves.

My iPhone 4S untold amounts of problems it has a constant orange screen

Hardware problem.

Canon SX50 True color of a rising moon. Red or Orange

Canon SX50 What settings for capturing red or orange moon rising. Mine comes out white! Ideas?

Karen,
There are several tricks to get the moon shots to come out right. Most people attempt the shot as a night shot, and wind up over exposing the shot. Set your ISO to around 125 to 200. Shutter speed will be around 1/320; you may need to try a little higher or lower, but not less than 1/250. If you are using the zoom for a closer view, you will want to use a higher shutter speed, such as 1/320, to reduce camera shake. Using Shutter priority, let the camera select the aperture. Take several shots and see if you want a little darker (- exposure compensation) of lighter (+ exposure compensation). If you want to get real adventurous, you can set the camera to center weighted or spot metering in the functions menu, but for now see how you do with the basics. Then try the other metering methods I mentioned to see if that helps you get what you have in mind.
Good luck and have fun!

Timac 2009 orange screen on boot

Hello all
Just purchased a 2009 imac for my son, was working fine then went througo some of the updates and the screen went black. Rebooted for is to come up with a orange screen then back to black.
Help please!
Look forwar to a solution
Cheers

I had the same problem just now. My 15" MBP (6.2). I followed the following steps and it worked for me. I used another Mac in my house to use screen sharing to accomplish these things:
1) access the /private/var/vm/ directory on the nonworking computer from the working computer. This is invisble so you will have to press cmdshiftg in the finder and go to /volumes/YOURHARDDISKNAME/private/var/vm to get there or use an application that lets you view invisble folders like PathFinder.
2) delete the sleepimage file
3) delete the /system/library/extensions.mkext file
4) eject the drive (drag to the trash)
5) press the power button to turn off the non working computer
6) turn the nonworking computer back on normally(cross your fingers) then if it works,
7) open up the the terminal.app in /applications/utilities
8) type sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
9) make sure there is no sleepimage file again
That worked for me...hope it helps for you!

Orange Screen in Motion or FCP

Why do i get orange screens or objects in Motion or FCP
Couldn't find anything in the manual under the word "orange"
does anyone know how to solve this ???

thanx for reply, read the article about rendering prob but this is something different
Also i already am updated to 3.0.1 and having orange screens.
Earlier i thought i had the orange screens because footage was too long in frames or too big in pixels
but today in this one shot as soon as i turn on the Key Primatte i get the orange screen.
What's weird is that Primatte worked all morning on other shots and ive already done primatte keys on this exact same footage before. In a pretty tight spots as to how i will get this shot done if motion refuses to cooperate ?

Orange Screen

Hi, I get an orange screen when I view my video that was filmed on a droid X phone. The file type is a 3GPP Audio/Video (.3gp). The audio sounds fine but no video. Any suggestions? Thanks, -AP

Try using a free program called MPEG Streamclip to export the file as an AVI format which is much more compatible with Premiere Elements.
You can get the program here: http://www.squared5.com/
I have taken 3GPP2 files (.3G2 extension), which are very similar to 3GPP files and successfully exported them as AVI's using MPEG Streamclip, which then worked great in PRE when the original files wouldn't work at all.
Let us know how things work out.
