Somethings wrong with my screen!

Ok, I was messing around with my computer and I was pressing alot of buttons on the key board and now the screen comes out negative. As such: http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/2192/picture16ac.png
Sorry if it's a little big. But I have gone thru all the F key's and looked through the colors section in the preferences window. Please help!

James,
Go to System Preferences...>Universal Access>Seeing>Display: Make sure Black on White is checked and Use grayscale is not checked. The keyboard combination of (Apple + Option + Control + 8) will also work.
Your screen shot makes me doubt my recommendation but it is worth a try.
;~)

  • There is always a blue screen appears after the Apple logo during the booting process. And then everything is back to normal. What is this thing? Is there something wrong with my screen or something?

    Nah - that's just the normal boot process.

  • What is Wrong With the Screen on My New X1CT?

    Guys, what the hell is wrong with the screen on my new (an hour ago) X1CT?  Its like there is a matte cover over the screen.  I read about the screendoor and I don't think this is that.  Its like the colors are all off, white is grey and grey is white.  There are weird lines and shimmering on the screen.  
    It seems to be okay on the W8 start page but there is no white there, just the metro tiles.  I have checked all settings and there is nothing I can do with any settings.
    In the pic below see how the whites and greys are even reversed on the same webpage?  
    I just took it out of the box and started to set it up.  I'm not sure what is going on but it certainly is not right.  I doubgt i can use it like this.
    Thanks in advanced for any ideas.

    They are sending out a tech with a new screen and cable on Monday am.  If that doesn't fix it then its going back.  I've decided that its somthing physical as the screen just cannot make white.  The google homepage is grey not white.  There is banding and artifacts all over and even screen memory when I close windows and such.  There is no way its supposed to be like this.

  • What is wrong with the screen stays black

    what is wrong with the iPod if the screen stays black and won't turn on, but is fully charged.

    Could be one of the two:
    1. Device sleep - Press and hold power button for six seconds and see if that wakes up the unit
    2. Device freeze - press and hold the power and home button for few seconds till Apple logo is seen.
    Hope this helps!

  • There appears a blue strip on the right top corner every time I unlock my phone or when I open an app. It's been four months since I got my 5s! Is something wrong with the screen?

    I've been using my iPhone 5s for the past 4 months. Now suddenly, I've been seeing a blue strip on the right top corner of the phone. Should I be concerned about the screen? Is there anything wrong with my display? I'm still under warranty.

    Take it to the Apple Store.

  • What's wrong with my screen?

    I have a late 2010 Macbook Pro 15" and lately when my battery gets really hot, or i'm in some heavy programs (Adobe After Effects and ProPresenter), my screen with start to get static lines all over it, until the screen turns off. What's wrong? Graphics card frying?

    I agree this is a real problem. I have four different Ipods, and I have recently purchased the Nano to relieve crowding in my Cargo Pants (smaller pocket than will fit a Mini comfortably). None of the previous Ipods, which have dwelt in the same pockets, have shown any scratching, but my Nano is terribly scratched after being in a shirt pocket! Please let me know if the problem is being addressed by Apple. I would have put a screen protector on (by cutting one designed for a PDA if I had known that this screen was so fragile, but who knew!?! I also would have used one of the cases that Apple sells if there had not been a 4 week delay in getting them.
    Apple, are you monitoring??

  • Iphone 5s Screen: what's wrong with my screen?

    Got my 5s about 3 weeks ago and have been happy with it but it started acting up tonight.
    Anyone have any idea what might be wrong?
    It started out of nowhere, and was not dropped or wet... it starts with a line on the bottom of the screen at start up and turns to faded red vertical lines (on the bottom quarter of the screen only):
    Video of it occurring:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gds3BA9wNPc
    I am in the US at the moment but upon return should I take it back to a Bell store (my carrier that I got it from) or to an Apple store?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    If you bought it about 3 weeks ago, take it to an Apple Store.  It should be under warranty first.  Ask a "Genius".  Good luck!

  • Somethings wrong with my desktop. Can someone please help?

    Ok first of all let me start by saying I'm the most tech illiterate person on the face of the earth. This may have been already posted somewhere, but my complete lack of experience dealing with Mac os operating system may have caused me to completely coast right over it. So please have mercy on this poor lost mac dummy!
    Yesterday a software update popped up with several updates listed so I gave them the go ahead to install the latest versions of Itunes, safari, mac os (10.5.8) The update appeared to go smoothly so since it was late I called it a night and let it sleep. To my surprise when I woke it up today I realized that none of my DESKTOP ICONS appeared to be working or responding when I clicked them, and in fact after trying to open itunes and some other frequently used programs the icons changed from their usual selves to a blank *notepad with a ruler and two pencils* (see this is how dumb I am, I don't even know what that silly icon represents) I guess thats the default when items go missing?
    After much panicking I somehow managed to open the finder where I checked my 'applications' and 'documents' and was relieved to see that they are all still accessible and operating correctly through the finder, and nothing was gone. Its just that they are no longer usable through their desktop icons. I mean I checked the "desktop" area of the finder and its completely blank.
    I'm so lost as to where I go from here and was wondering if someone who knows how the system operates could give me a "dummy" version of how to put them back onto my desktop like they were before the update? and where I went wrong to cause them to go missing in the first place?
    Years of 'Windows' operating crashes and painful unintended erases (where i've lost all my data) have made me extremely fearful (and hesitant) of messing with system configurations in general, and although Mac is completely more stable I'm still scared about doing something wrong and erasing everything.
    If someone could help me as to what to do next I would be eternally greatful!

    We need clarification. When you say Desktop icons do you mean the ones on the Dock? If so, then do the following. Restart and see if that fixes the Dock icons to their original and not the generic application icon (it's a pencil, paint brush, and ruller on two blank pieces of paper) stored in /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/ named the GenericApplicationIcon.icns file. If they don't change, launch Disk Utility, select the boot volume/partition, and repair permissions, restart, and see if that fixes things. If not, then launch the Terminal.app in /Applications/Utilities/ (which is what you see when double-clicking on the root-level disk icon sitting on your Desktop and not the Finder). Select and copy this one-line command, paste it into the Terminal window, hit the return key, quit the Terminal app, OPTION-click and hold the Dock's Finder icon, and select Relaunch:
    */System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchS ervices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user*
    This will rebuild the LaunchServices database and should restore all the Dock's icons to properly display the apps that they represent.

  • Something's Wrong with my Screen Saver !!!

    For some reason I can't seem to turn off my screen saver. I go to system preferences and swith the "start screen saver" to either "never" or "2 hours", etc and it goes off in like 10-15 minutes anyway. The weird thing is that it doesn't even go into the screen saver, the screen just goes black.
    I tried testing the screen saver in the test mode and it works fine.
    I'm wondering if the problem is because i'm using a Ben Q monitor instead of an apple one?
    Anyways, it sounds like a stupid problem but it's REALLY making life difficult for me. If someone can help me it would SERIOUSLY make my life a lot easier.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Are you sure this is the screensaver? Check it isn't the display being set to sleep by going to the energy saver preference pane and ensuring that the display is not set to sleep after such a short time.
    Also, while unusual, it's possible that your display has a 'sleep' or 'energy saving' mode, which could be set through it's menus. make sure there is either no such option, or that if there is, it is switched off.
    Assuming neither of the above helped, does the power light on the monitor go from green (or whatever it's normal 'on' color) to something like yellow or orange when the screen goes blank? If it doesn't then the screen is still receiving data from the mini and it would thus suggest a problem with the display. If it goes yellow/orange then it means the mini is not outputting video data so the screen is going to sleep - which would suggest the mini or display is sleeping. If it goes off altogether, then the display is powering down and is thus at fault (possibly just a slightly loose power connector).
    When this happens, can you bring the system back to life by tapping a key/moving the mouse/clicking a mouse button?

  • What is wrong with my screen? It looks like it has a crack underneath the surface.

    So, my Macbook Pro has had this "crack" in if for a little while. It started off really small but over the past year, has sort of spread. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what it is? It's over towards the righthand corner of the screen.

    I suspect it will keep spreading.  If cannot live with it, you should have it replaced.
    Ciao.

  • Hello, something went wrong with my screen and the white parts just went YELLOW. How can I fix this?

    Hello, I have a Macbook Pro 15' Mid 2012,
    Suddenly I opened my laptop and this happened. As you can see all the WHITE Color turned into YELLOW. I've tried knowing whether this is a software or hardware issue. I think it's a software though.
    Things I did after this happened:
    1. Tried Calibrating the Screen
    2. Tried Reinstalling the OSX

    Howdy AhmedNT,
    It sounds like the white sections of webpages have a yellow tint to them.
    I want to recommend a few things here. First try booting to safe boot with this article:
    Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
    Safe Mode is the state into which you can start up your Mac by performing a Safe Boot. To perform a Safe Boot, press and hold the Shift key immediately after your Mac starts up. Continue holding down the Shift key until a gray Apple logo appears on the screen.
    If that does not resolve the issue, try resetting your PRAM.
    About NVRAM and PRAM
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information.
    And I would also suggest changing your resolution to see if that helps the situation.

  • Somethings wrong with my Motherboard

    I have an emachines W3080. I got a new case and put the motherboard in it, everything right, except I forgot studs. I took it to a computer store and they ran it without studs in, cuz i forgot about them. When he jumpstarted, it would work, he said i needed new motherboard and CPU. So now I'm over at my computer literate cousins house, and we're stumped. We've troubleshooted by taking everything out of case. Motherboard out, put on cardboard shoebox. Started without anything. When we get the 2 mobo power things, the one with lots of prings and the box one with the CPU and the heatsink, we used to get continous long beeps about 2 seconds long until we shutted off That was with mobo power cpu and heatsink along with Video card and RAM. Now we get no beep, and nothing shows up on the monitor. we're dumbstruck. Whats wrong?
