Some Photos with iOS 7 black or white screen

Since I've downloaded the new iOS 7 several weeks ago, some of my photos using Apple's pre-installed camera app or other camera apps all totally white or black. While they appear fine in the thumbnail, when you go to view the full photo it's entirely black or white. This only occurs for some photos. I noticing this mainly with my iPhone 4S. Any suggestion to resolve?
Thanks.

Hi kclh87,
It looks as if you have turned on one of the Accessibility features - Grayscale. To turn it off, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Grayscale and slide the switch to the right. See this manual -
iPhone User Guide
Page 151 contains the information.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Q: How do I Mask/Layer a color photo with a black and white photo?

This is what I want to do. I've done it before but cannot remember for the life of me how to do it again. I want to put a color photo under (its own) black and white photo and then erase or remove or something (I can't remember the tool to do it) but I want to be able to see some of the color photo in my black and white photo. For example, say I have a pic of the Disneyland Castle. I want to make the pic black and white and then with a layer or mask (whichever one) have the exact colors of the picture underneith it show up after I have used the paint brush to remove the black and white...is anyone understanding me? When I did it before I know I did it in only a few steps, it wasn't super complicated, and I'm probably stupid for not knowing how to do it now. Thanks!

Lindsey,
First, look at the Channels in the B/W. Probably, you can use one of those as a Selection and then as a Layer Mask. If not perfect, then you can likely get close. If you need to, you might want to Blend more than one of those Channels.
If you have an issue "collecting" the Channels, just get your B/W into a separate Image, and then drag individual Channels back to your composite image, and use them, as is necessary.
Hope that some of those ideas are useful,
Hunt
BTW - turn OFF the color for Channels, so that you can see them as B/W, as that will help you see their makeup.

Photogene App crashes with some photos with iOS 8 update, not others when in edit

SInce the iOS 8 update some when I select a photograph or when scrolling pictures in an Album, the App crashes. This never happened before this new upgrade. I've used it for months. Any help appreciate. With certain pictures, no problem. I make personal cards for printing and this app has been great until now. I go into one album, scroll, select a photograph p, work in it, no proble. I move to another Album, and whil scrolling it crashes, repeatedly.. This app replaced the iPhoto App as that one was multiplying pictures like rabbits and alleged fixes and visits to the Apple Store did not solve the problem. The Appke Store personnell were great but no one could fix that issue. I deleted it. Many, many others everywhere had that similar problem. Any help with this crashing problem is appreciated.

Thank you, Ralph, for your reply. I'm a practical person so I tried trial and error. It was recents ans larger Albums that the Photogene crashed. I could make a card from my smaller Albums. So I transferred a few photos from the ones that crashed to the successful Album(s). I could edit, put Text, save, export to my library, e-mail and post on FaceBoo. That worked for me. A round about way, but it works. Again, thanks.

Black and White Screen

My Iphone 4 has been shutting down to a black dos like screen with White letters.
Debugger messag: panic\
OS Version: not yet set
Kernel Version: Darwin Kernel Version 13.0 Sunday August 19

boot version: i Bott-1537.4.18

This has been going on since I've tried to upgrade OS6. It would go to this black screen but eventually come back on with a drained battery.
ITunes error showed to restore phone back to factory settings so I did but it only worked for 4 days. Now it's been down for at least 15 hours.
Any one see this issue before?

Thank you. There is not an apple store near by. I need my phone for work. My warranty has expired and 13 month into contract is too early for the 18 month early upgrade. I reset the device and plugged it in to Itunes and restored it again. The part that confuses me and perhaps why i didn't work last time is...Restore to new phone or Restore to my iphone back up so I always choose my phone but perhaps this doesn't bring it back to factory settings. I just don't want to loose my contacts. It is working now but it's probably just a matter of time before it the black and white screen come back up. I think it;s a system update issue. I'm going to call Apple.

Color switches to a black and white screen after login

iMac 700MHZ Graphite 10.3.9 color issue. When I am logging in the screen is in color but after login when it switches to my desktop the color also switches to a black and white screen. The other user of this computer does not have any problem with the color on his desktop. Has anyone run into this problem before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Go to System Preferences>Universal Access, the 'Seeing' pane and uncheck 'use greyscale'.

How can I print with the black and white cartridge only?

I am trying to print using the black and white cartridge only because magenta is out of ink but I'm getting the following error message in HP Photosmart C7200 series print dialog:
The printer is out of ink.
The following ink cartridges are empty: Magenta. Replace these ink cartridges to resume printing.
How can I print with the black and white cartridge only?
Mac OSX 10.7.3
HP Photosmart C7280 (7200 series)
This question was solved.

I am absolutely disgusted by this; clearly a scam from HP to make more money by selling extra ink cartridges!! I will make sure to never buy any products from the shoddy rip off merchants at HP ever again!!
You should be ashamed!!

I did not use ICloud or any storage and did not make any sync before.
Is there any Trash Can in Iphone in order to find them? I am dumb and I did not think about save them before connect to PC.

Your photos are gone. They were wiped when you restored your phone. There is no "trash can".
You obviously don't understand how to use the iPhone properly. Attached is a link to the iPhone User guide. I suggest you read through it to avoid data loss in the future.

Y 70-70 screen : problems with the black and white colors

Hi all, I just bought a Lenovo Y70-70 and already encountered several problems with the screen :- I had to change the notebook twice because of clearer zones on the black and because of dead pixels- The model I have now still presents irregularities in the black : if the screen is black, I can still see a few clearer zones on it, especially (but not exclusively) on the edges- concerning the white, I am a bit disappointed too : this color present zones that are sometimes ok, sometimes more yellow. Even if it is subtle, I nevertheless particularily see this effect when reading or typing, due to an optical effect that amplifies the phenomenom when text is displayed which tires my eyes. I also see it on colors like beige or grey. As I use this computer to play but also to work, it is uncomfortable. What I would like to know is if these problems are inherent to the screen, or if it is a defect. What should I do ? Did other people encounter the same problems ? I didn't find any setting to improve it. I found that these problems may be link to these, reported on the Y50-70 :- https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-P-Y-and-Z-series/Y50-Yellow-Dark-Yellow-Screen-Calibration/td-p/1868613- http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/RCQNONXIKJJ5D/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00MCJQ6MI#RCQNONXIKJJ5D Othewise this notebook is OK, playing with it is a real pleasure. Thank you for your answer,S.

Installation of Mavericks is the culprit here. Lightroom versions 4.4 and earlier are not fully compatible with OS 10.9.x. There will be no more updates to Lightroom version 4.x so the only fix is to upgrade Lightroom to 5.0 or later or reinstall an older OS on Mac.

There can be several things that could effect your issue. If you are using a color calibration device, it may change your white balance. Check and verify that you really are using pure white when filling, a value of 255, 255, 255 thats red, green, and blue. Check and see what color mode you are in, are you in 8 bit, 16 or 32 bit. Are you in RGB, CMYK, or other color mode.
I am sure there are a few other things, that I haven't thought of at the moment that can effect your issue.
The next question is what do you mean by black and white? or should I say how did you make it that way. Was it already a black and white (grayscale)? or did you convert it in photoshop and if so how. The reason I ask is there are more than one way to convert a color image to black and white and how you do it will effect the final outcome.

Black to white screen

My iPhone 5 was working fine and then it just shut off and then kept going from black screen to a white screen with Apple logo. Must have gone back and forth 15 times and then stayed black. Charged it up but that did not help. Tried holding awake/sleep button on top and round button on bottom but to no avail.

Hello rujobec,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone.
I recommend following steps 3-6 below for an issue like this:
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:

IOS QuickLook loading white screen when I tap custom filetype attachment in email. +icon pixelated

In mail, for an attached custom filetype, I can bring up the "open in MyApp" option if I tap and hold, but most users will probably just tap and may not realize there is the tap and hold option. If I do a simple tap, it brings up a white screen with some sort of empty dark grey bar at the bottom if I scroll down.
I obviously want to get it to bring up an option to open it in my app or do something user-friendly.
The filetype icon is also very pixelated if i download a file type from the web in Safari on the screen where it shows the icon and "open in MyApp" button after I download it.
I have myex.png, [email protected] which are 22x29 and 44x58 and myex-large.png, [email protected] which are 88x116 and 176x232
I have this 'UTExportedTypeDeclarations' entry for example:
<dict>
        <key>UTTypeConformsTo</key>
        <array>
        <string>com.mysite.myapp.myex</string>
        <string>public.data</string>
        </array>
        <key>UTTypeDescription</key>
        <string>MyApp Myex</string>
        <key>UTTypeIdentifier</key>
        <string>com.mysite.myapp.myex</string>

        </dict>
        <key>UTTypeReferenceURL</key>
        <string>http://mysite.com/myex></string>
</dict>
and this 'CFBundleDocumentTypes' entry:
<dict>
        <key>CFBundleTypeName</key>
        <string>MyApp Myex</string>
        <key>CFBundleTypeExtensions</key>
        <array>
        <string>myex</string>
        </array>
        <key>CFBundleTypeIconFiles</key>
        <array>

        <string>Owner</string>
        <key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
        <string>Editor</string>
</dict>

Try this procedure:
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
