Start up screen changes color from blue/gray to brown
My Macbook Pro recently started changing colors: When 'start up' it begins with a blue/gray (normal) color but then changes to a light brown color. The apple icon is still present though...
Any ideas as to why the screen changes its color?
You should try to erase the drive with Disk Utility, so any filesystem problem will be fixed, but if you haven't made a backup, you'll lose files.
1. Go to Utilities > Disk Utility.
2. Select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and go to Restore tab.
3. Connect your external disk and drag it from the sidebar to Destination box, and press Restore.
If it doesn't help, take the Mac to an Apple Store

My screen is changing colors (Red, blue, gray). Any clue?
My screen is changing colors. (Red, Blue, Grey). Any idea? I could press on the back of the screen for a while to correct this but it doesn't seem to work now. Thanks.
I would take it to an Apple Retail Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for evaluation, or call your nearest Apple Contact Center. Visit the Genius Bar at the Apple Retail Store, make a reservation.

Pavilion DV& screen changing colors
When turning on the laptop, the screen changes colors (red, green, gray, blue, etc) before coming on. It took almost 25 minutes for it to stop and then finally get the sign on screen.
What could be the problem? The laptop is about 3 years old.
If it need to be repaired, where would i go (Staples? BestBuy?)
Is it something I could fix myself?
TIA@harperhp ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forum. Generally when you experience this issue it is due to a failure of the graphics card.
Does this happen if you try and boot into safe mode?
Entering Safe Mode (Windows 7)
Please post back if you can get into safe mode without this issue. If you have the same problem going into safe mode then you will want to contact HP phone support for repair options. You may not be able to get the parts through third party vendors.

I have update to iOS 8.1.3, and I cannot open both centers, or use and cancel apps, or the screen change color to gray, or the display do not recognise that I touch it, and more. If I restart it, I find another mistake in next five hours. Help me please.
iOS 8.1.3
iPhone 5s 32 GB
CPU 64 bitIf you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Hey guys. Lately every time I've woken up my Macbook the screen changes colors. It will go through all of the primary colors and then some gray horizontal and diagnoal stripes, and sometimes the screen will flash in and out. Usually if I close the lid and reopen a couple seconds later, it's fine. But, is there any way of fixing this? I don't want it to turn into a bigger problem.
You may be having a problem with your screen, your integrated GPU or your connection cable between the logic board and the screen. The only way to ferret out which problem you have would be to take your machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them run diagnostics on the unit. They can give you an idea of what's up with the machine and an estimate on what it would cost to fix it.
Good luck,

IBook not waking up and screen changing colors
Hi everyone,
I've perused the previous posts and am having difficulty locating a post specific to my problem. My iBook is about 8 months old and has been working PERFECTLY up until a few days ago. The problem started when it wouldn't wake up after going to sleep. I'd close the screen as I've always done before, but when I opened it back up, it didn't seem to wake up. I subsequently had to do a hard reset. This continued throughout the day while I was testing it to see what the problem might be, then yesterday the screen started going crazy on me. It went black, then started randomly changing colors (green, red, blue, etc.). Clicking the mouse or hitting keys would do nothing. After a hard reset it would boot up and work fine for about 5 minutes or so, then the color changing would happen again. I haven't hooked it up to an external monitor yet...that's my next step. Any other ideas from anyone? Thanks!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)So, I called Apple Support, and they instructed me to reset the PMU. I did so and the computer worked for about 20 minutes and now it's back to its old tricks. First the screen blacks out and then it either remains blacked out or goes crazy with randomnly changing colors. I can reset the PMU, but each time I do, it works for a few minutes, then blacks out again. I have Apple Care, so I'm not worried about the cost of any necessary repairs, but I am worried about the prospect of loosing my files. I don't have them backed up...I know, I know, I should have a file backup system. It's on the list of priorities. Any ideas/thoughts??

Screen changes colors after macbook dropped
Yesterday I accidentally dropped my laptop and when trying to recover, the screen changes from alternating full screen colors (red - green - blue and then black and white gradients). I'm guessing this has to do with the graphics but I am not sure if this has happened to anyone else and if there is some sort of reset button.?
That symptom appearing after a drop surely indicates hardware damage so no reset, even if available, is going to help. You'll need to have an Apple Store or Authorized service provider evaluate it. Hopefull it is something small like a damaged display cable but, if the GPU was jarred from its solder joints by the impact (quite likely) the only real cure is a new logic board.
If you have homeowners'/renters' insurance, put your carrier on notice of an accident. many such policies cover repair/replacement after an accident--even outside the home--subject to the usual deductible. -

Change Color from grid lines in Flash 2D Line Chart
Hi,
does anybody know how to change the color from the grid lines in 2D Line Chart?
The color is always black (000000), I will use gray (CCCCCC).
I can use a custom XML. Can you give me an example please???
Where can I read something about the possible XML-Tags in Custom XML for Charts?
Best regards
SimonaSimona,
anychart.com has XML reference you can use for the charting engine in APEX.
Try using custom XML and sticking this inside the grid > values tag:
<lines color='0xCCCCCC' />- Marco -

Oracle form query mode does not change color to blue
Hi, I have created a custom form and using query mode in it. However on hitting F11, the record does not change to blue, instead it turns white. Can someone please guide me as to what I should be doing to get this right?
Thanks for your responses.The fact that it doesn't change color when you "Enter Query" mode tells me your Custom Form does not conform to Oracle Application Programming Standards. I recommend you visit the Oracle Applications Documentation web site, choose your EBS version and scroll down and look at the Oracle Applications User Interface Standards for Forms-Based Products and Oracle Applications Developer's Guide to ensure your Custom Form conforms to Oracle Standard.
Also, I suggest you always use the TEMPLATE.fmb (or if you can't find this form, use the APPSTAND.fmb) as the starting point of any Custom Form. This will ensure you have the minimum required objects and code in your form.
Hope this helps,

Iphone 5 screen changes colors
I have an iphone 5 and it got some water damage. After a couple of days everything seemed fine, but when I was playing a game the screen started to slowly fade away and now whenever I hit the home button, it recognizes that but the screen is mostly black with changing colors. Everything works fine still because I use Siri to open messages make calls play music etc... Is it too late for the visibility/screen to be saved, or what should I do? Any suggestions?

It sounds like you are experiencing some unexpected behaviour after the phone got wet. I would have the phone looked at and serviced next:

Email download changes color to blue and prints blue
I recently purchased a Satellite Pro L300=EZ1523 and all is great except when I download attachment from email it turns the color to blue and also prints out in blue color. This seems to come from Picasa3. How can I fix this issue? My documents print out the way they should. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you, dmlYou just changing the color on runtime without saving it, next time you launch the form it will read the default properties set. Follow the steps in the below post written by jmcilhinney
to create the settings (remember to create unique and easy to refer names):
http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?681367-RESOLVED-Save-Load-TextBox-BackColor
and then from your code you can set the new colors as following:
Dim slateBlue As Color = Color.FromName("AliceBlue")
My.MySettings.Default.BackColor = slateBlue
Like this everytime you change the color will be saved in the temp folder of the user machine and will be retreived on each launch.
You will be able to see the new settings created in your app.config as below:
<userSettings>
<WindowsApplication2.My.MySettings>
<setting name="BackColor" serializeAs="String">
<value>255, 192, 192</value>
</setting>
</WindowsApplication2.My.MySettings>
</userSettings>
Just a note that changing the above value in the code will not reflect in app.config file, rather since it is a user scoped variable it will be saved in C:\Users\{YourUsername}\AppData\Local\ under you application dir in the file user.config as
below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<userSettings>
<WindowsApplication2.My.MySettings>
<setting name="BackColor" serializeAs="String">
<value>AliceBlue</value>
</setting>
</WindowsApplication2.My.MySettings>
</userSettings>
</configuration>
