Screen goes all blue when opened.

When I open my MBP I see my usual desktop picture for about 1 sec and then the screen goes to all monochromatic apple blue. This lasts about 3 secs. and then it goes back to my usual desktop pic? Just started happening for some reason. Any ideas?

No. I only use my MBP for personal use. I agree it does not seem like a serious problem yet but it seems like these problems metastisize sometimes.
Thanks

Screen goes to sleep when opened

Shortly after the install of Lion I started noticing that my screen goes into sleep mode or just shuts off completely after I open my macbook pro. I tried the general method of refreshing the screen of pressing the spacebar but that only worked for a week or two. Now I'm having to press "fn > F1 or F2" in order to get the screen to come back on. Any ideas on what's going on and how to fix it?

Simply install the upgrade, create a new disc with the new hardware drivers. Boot into Windows and install the new drivers from the newly burned CD.
For Boot Camp related troubleshooting post your problem in the Boot Camp forum.
For Windows problems try the Mac forums at the MicroSoft forums or pose the question in the Boot Camp forum.
If your Windows installation is corrupted you can try booting from the Windows installer and running the system repairs.

My screen goes all fuzzy when i play an app

when ever i go into the app Ashphat 5 Free.
how do i stop this fro occurring besides deleting the app???

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My MacBookPro (mid 2012) will not complete the boot process. Yosemite's progress widget gets about 1/3 to 1/2 way across when the logo disappears and the screen goes all white for 10-15 secs or so, then the machine shuts down and restarts.

My MacBookPro (mid 2012) will not complete the boot process. Yosemite's progress widget gets about 1/3 to 1/2 way across when the logo disappears and the screen goes all white for 10-15 secs, then the machine shuts down and restarts. This sequence will repeat seemingly forever unless I shut it down manually.
I upgraded to Yosemite from Mountain Lion a couple months ago, skipping Maverick completely, and I've done any associated updates that Apple told me about. I don't recall which version of Yosemite I have, but I'm sure it is the "latest and greatest".
I've tried re-starting in Safe Mode / Safe Boot and that does the same thing as described above except without the endless restarts. Instead of restarting at some point, SafeBoot proceeds to the white screen and then it hangs until I restart it manually. (I've waited as long os 20-30 minutes with no response).
When I tried the option-command-p-r key combo I never get any chimes or other noises besides the original 1 time boot sound that you would expect to get when starting up a macbook pro.
I was using the mac quite normally (meaning I was doing work I normally do on it and there was no indication of anything wrong) immediately prior to this happening.
The machine is BootCamp(ed) with Windows 8.1 which I use from a VMWare virtual machine instead of natively so that I can have both OSes running at the same time. I also think this is unrelated to my problem. I have been using this setup for more than 2 years.
My upgrade to Yosemite was uneventful and I thought it went well and was very smooth. I don't want to lead attention away from Yosemite, but at this point my problem does not seem related to the upgrade.
Any help is appreciated.

Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
      the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
           because it is three times faster than wireless.

When using crop tool the screen goes all black

When I select the crop tool and drag it across the photo to select crop area, the screen goes all black so that I cannot see the area selected or modify its size.
All the boxes (size and resolution) of the tool are clear.
Can somebody help me?
I did try resetting all tools but didn't change anything, I restarted the program, I restarted the computer and is still happening.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The advice that seems to work most often with this kind of failure is to update your video drivers from the web site of the maker of your video card.
Here are the links to the driver update pages for the two big video card makers:

What does mean when a imac screen goes all white

what does mean when a imac screen goes all white

Hopefully its not the logic board. try a PRAM reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
basically hold cmd, option, P, and R directly after start. Keep holding them down until you hear two chimes. That indicates a successful PRAM reset. It is not uncommon to hear 3.
If that doesnt work try an SMC reset. Pull out the power cord from the back of the mac for atleast 15 seconds. plug it in again for 5 seconds and power back on ...http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

Screen goes to black when tilted back too far...anyone else had this issue?

My ibook has started this crazy new thing. The screen goes to black when tilted close to all the way back. It's not that big a deal, but I was wondering if anyone else has this issue and if it possibly will get worse. When it happens, I just close the lid, let in go into sleep mode, then open it back up touch a key and all's well, I just have to be careful not to lean the screen back too far. In the past, I've had to send it back twice for the logic board to be replaced and as much as I love Macs, I really feel this is not a well-made product. Thanks for any advice....

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
As the old joke goes about the guy who went to the doctor and, raising his arm, said, "Doc, it hurts when I do this." And the doctor said, "Well, then, don't do that!"
Yes, it is a familiar thing to happen to an iBook. The backlight cable can get pinched in the hinge, causing it to go off at certain angles.

There's way too much blue in that green screen

Try pulling down the spill level and reducing the spill tint. You're probably going to have to tweak the color selection manually.

How to show all regions when opening piano roll?

hey,
I want to be able to see all events in all regions when opening (not toggling!) a piano roll. I just switched from version 5 (yes, 5) to 9. It used to be like this: you deselect all regions and then just open the matrix editor (that's how the piano roll was called in ancient times).
If I do this in 9, the piano roll shows nothing. If I select all regions and open the PR, it shows only one. If I select one region, open the PR and then go back to the arrange window and select all regions it does show all info in the PR but this is a bit of a not-very-efficient work around.
Anyone any idea?
grtz
Janco

double click a region, then highlight the ARRANGE window and type command + a. It is essential to choose all regions this way not as you mentioned by choosing all by hand. Remember that when you doubleclick a region Logic highlights the PIANOROLL. So you have to highlight the arrange window by clicking on the bar just below the main tools or in other words, just above the ruler (I don't know the exaqct word for it but I hope you know what I mean.

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
No content is affected by this procedure.

G5 screen goes solid blue

Every so often, everything disappears from my desktop, and the screen goes solid blue for about 2 seconds, then everything returns to the screen. This has been happening more frequently. I replaced the video card (Radeon 9600) but that hasn't helped. I have 2 displays hooked up, and it happens simultaneously on both screens. They both go solid blue for 2 seconds, then everything returns. I have repaired permissions from disc, and have used DiscWarrior too. Thanks for any tips

Hi, folks.
1. Run the Apple Hardware Test (AHT) that came the affected computer. See my "Apple Hardware Test" FAQ for comprehensive advice on using the AHT in troubleshooting.
2. An errant Startup or Login Item maybe the cause. My "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem.
3. Immediately after the problem occurs, check the ends of these Console logs for clues.
Good luck!

My screen goes to black when I click on FCP. It's my fault, but why?

I'm a new boy (both to Macs and Final Cut Pro): be gentle with me. I've done something stupid but don't know what.
When I try to open FCP all that appears is a black screen. FCP is there, but blacked out. If I click in a corner of the screen (where the timeline window doesn't reach) it all reappears. But when I click in any of the FCP windows, it all goes to black again. If I press F3, all the windows are there but if I dare touch any, the screen goes black.
If you can tell me how to undo whatever I've done, I promise not to do it again.

I'm feeling really daft now. The answer lay in the Escape button: everything has now returned to normal. I should have tried that before posting, but I'd hit every other key on the keyboard looking for the answer I was worried that I'd done something disastrous. I live and learn. Thanks for your replies!
X: Cmd F12 on my keyboard increases the volume. But you inspired me to go along the F buttons until one did something! The last one solved it. Many thanks.
I'm very new to the Mac, but I'm rapidly learning to like it _a lot_.

Background turns blue when opening new file or exiting file.

Hello,
I am working in Photoshop cs6 on a PC, Windows 7. I was working on my Wacom tablet and accidentally dropped my pen tool on the tablet. When I looked up, my background was blue. I'm not sure what happened, but I can't figure out how to change it back to white. It must have changed something, just don't know what. This happens if I open a "new page" or if I open an exiting file. I checked preferences, it all seems ok there.
Photoshop open normally as seen below. Second photo show what it looks like when opening a new screen or an existing file. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

There's a preference to change the color of the screen. I'm not at a computer right now that has PS, but you might want to try right clicking with the move tool and see is there is a menu option for changing the color. Or check the main preferences ctrl/cmd-k.

My screen goes to black when i render and a hear a click from my g5

am posting here because problem occurs when using FCP.
g5 problems again, i fear.
curious if anyone else has had this problem...
when i start to render, my screen goes to black and i hear a clicking sound from my g5. if i hit a key on the keyboard, the screen comes back, the render starts up again, and then the screen goes to black again...another click.
ran hardware test...it failed the logic board test...but it failed the logic board test a month ago and when i took it to apple; they said it was bad ram. i replaced the ram and it seemed to be ok until now.
so i repaired permissions using Onyx and then the machine wouldn't restart. pulled all non-apple ram.
reset pmu, finally pulled plug and waited half an hour. tried to re-boot, power light on g5 came on and then went off. wouldn't come back on again.
pulled plug again, called apple.
while waiting for apple to answer...40 minutes...put plug back in and tried to pwr up. it finally restarted, but the same rendering issue.
apple said sounds like logic board problems and is sending someone out early next week...thank god for applecare.
so.....anyone else every have this issue?
thanks
carl

I've dealt with several G5 issues, never heard of this one. Cannot imagine what the logic board could have to do with this since there's nothing particularly unusual about rendering, nothing that is different from anything else the CPU is asked to do.
Please return and close the thread if o get it resolved with Apple's hlep.
