Strange color display-Pages 2

Am writing this after reading the posts on slow performance. Just installed iWork 06, hoping like others for an upgraded snazzy version of Pages. I am growing to appreciate the integration with the OS X color & type palettes. BUT performance is abysmal - on a text-only, 2-page document no less.
Not here to rehash performance issues, just to list another very peculiar phenomenon: On my PowerBook (yes, an old one, but with G4 processor upgrade, extra memory, much bigger new 7200 drive) a strange thing happens: If the document window is to the far left of the laptop monitor, the black text turns a lime green, selections become a brilliant magenta. If the window is moved to the center or right of the screen, the normal black displays. (Using the color palette to change text color doesn't work at all. - Definitely an application problem.)
Other apps perform normally. This occurs ONLY with Pages 06 - not Pages 1, or any other app, so I can't attribute it to a screen going bad.
Hooked up an external CRT. The lime green text did NOT happen - either on the CRT or on the laptop if I moved the doc window to the other monitor.
Tried all the usual stuff: trash the .plist pref. file, reboot, repair permissions, etc.
Don't know if there is a solution. After reading the discussion on the Slow Performance post, I will probably just delete Pages 2 and stay with (mostly) AppleWorks & Pages 1. (I have InDesign for page layout. - Maybe Apple is expecting too much from what should be a high-performance word processor. - Oh for the MacWrite Pro days - simple, easy, intuitive, fast, etc.)
This post is really just intended to inform Apple of the issue - Not sure I expect a solution.

Thank you for the advice on reaching Apple.
After I logged off, the posts relative to display resolution came to mind. My PowerBook was set to "thousands of colors" - hopefully to conserve battery when not plugged in. I changed it to "millions of colors," and it looks like the green text problem is solved. Also set the PB to Best Performance, but with a time frame for the display to sleep.
Will spend more time with Pages06 to determine if these settings also speed it up.
I like the OSX and iPhoto, etc., integration features of Pages, so hoping the performance issues can be solved.

Satellite A300-202 - External display turned a strange color

Hi,
I have a Satellite A300-202 with a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650, and after upgrade from vista to windows 7, my external display turned a strange color, seemed to lose the red color. Never show the white color, in which should show the white color shows the color blue.
I have uninstalled and installed again the graphic card drivers and update the new drivers but dont solved this trouble. My external monitor it's ok because I have tried with other laptop and don't have this trouble. I have also tried my laptop with other monitor and have the same trouble.
Anybody ever had this problem, someone who can help me?
Thanks,

Hi Xardas,
Yes I have problems only with the external monitor.
I tried both. Now I have the new beta version to the windows 7 64bits, downloaded from the amd/ati site, but I have tried also with the version available in the toshiba drivers page to my A300-202, and had the same problem.
Yes I have installed the new version of the BIOS too.
Thanks,

[SOLVED] Opera browser displaying strange colors

After the most recent intel driver update my Opera browser is displaying very strange colors:
However, it's the only application that seems affected by the change. Everything else displays colors properly. Perhaps the package suffered some sort of corruption (the opera package that is)? Any ideas on steps to correct this?

What is your graphics card? The default acceleration method is now SNA, which used to be UXA. You can force UXA as stated here:

There seems to be some bug here, the same as the other thread about conky color issue seems to point to.

HP Color Laserjet 1600 cannot print in color with Pages 09

Hi, everybody!
I got a huge problem for me that the HP Color Laserjet 1600 cannot print in color with Pages 09 after I upgrade to 10.6.1. It worked very well in 10.5.8. Since there is no official driver from HP website for 1600, so I used foomatic/foo2hp as the driver.
It is very strange that I can print in color with Safari and Preview in 10.6.1, but cannot with Pages 09. When I print with Pages 09, it always shows that the print job was completed but my printer was nothing happened.
I just re-install the 10.6 OS "complete new", install the printer driver with the instructions on this forum.
It would be high appreciated if somebody can help me on it!

Why doesn't MAC just give us the driver for the HP Color Laserjet 1600? It's one of the most popular home based business laserjets. It's the one I use and a lot of other people in business use it so I'm at a loss as to why they don't.
I bought my MAC Pro tower for video editing and I can't print from it and have had to reinstall the OS on it once already because Safari wouldn't open a window. So much for the MAc advertising statement of "We're so much easier to use."
After spending close to $10,000 on MAC equipment, Tower, Laptop, Monitor, etc. if they think I'm going to spend more for a new printer just because I can't get a driver to print they're thinking wrong. I going to re-think my new cell phone purchase too. Has anyone had software issuses with their phones before I go out and buy one?

Hi
I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

Do the following:
Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
Calibrate the monitor

Problem with my 20GB Ipod Color Display

I bought my Ipod with color display a month ago. After charging it one day, my menu button suddenly wouldn't work. Everything else was working fine (all the other buttons) but the menu wouldn't show up, except I could still hear the clicking sound. For the next three days it wouldn't work, but on the fourth day everything was fine again! I have no idea what was wrong, but I have taken very good care of my Ipod since I got it.
Did anyone have the same problem?
And would Apple allow me to send it back for a repair even if it is working ok now?
Also, should I buy the extra warranty for my Ipod?
Lastly, where is the page on the Apple website where I can email an Apple representative with a question about my Ipod? (or at least the email)
Another thing - my Ipod seems to charge incredibly quickly, it doesn't take 3-4 hours as Apple says, and it seems to drain the battery faster than 14-15 hours too. and I don't look at photos on mine. Is there something wrong with my battery?

Hey,
As for your last question, the battery will charge to 80% in about an hour, and use about 2-3 hours for the rest.

Firefox 3.6 does not display pages correctly

I recently upgraded to 3.5 beta 4 and it worked ok. 2 weeks ago it stopped displaying pages correctly. Uninsalling and reinstalling did not cure problem. I unistalled and installed v3.6. Same problem.
I could provide a screenshot of Mozilla home page. Backgrounds, table borders and some inages to not display. I have disabled all plugins and "load images automatically" is checked.
The images and background of this page do not display. I checked with K-meleon and IE.

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a (too) high value can cause issues.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Changing+fonts+and+colors
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with overlapping text.
*Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
On other platforms instead of Tools > Options use:
*Mac: Firefox > Preferences
*Linux: Edit > Preferences
*Windows: Firefox > Options
<i>Press F10 if the menu bar is hidden on Windows and Linux or use "Firefox > Options/Preferences"</i>

Very strange color phenomenon - Please help!

Hello,
I just got a new iMac and moved all my software and files via firewire account transfer from my Mac Book to the new Mac. Everything works well, as expected, but when I open my Domain.sites2 File (I have iWeb08) on the iMac, a strange color phenomenon occurs: Identical colors specified for page background and placed shapes on the background look differently in iWeb, but when published, they look the same.
When I open the identical file on my Mac Book, the colors look the same (and publish the same of course). I've tried deleting the color shapes and creating them new, changing background color back and forth, but still: a color applied to the background of a page and a shape ontop of that page looks dramatically different. A purple looks intensive in the background, that same purple applied to a shape looks a lot mor pastell-ish and light, almost as if the color was converted to cmyk when applied to the shape, and left in vibrant RGB in the background.
Now this means that on the iMac in iWeb I cannot edit my site any more. I don't see what I do. If I make the colors for page background and shapes look identical in iWeb (or even specify identical color values), and publish, they look differently in the browser (I checked in multiple browsers).
I checked everthing for hidden transparency or cmyc conversion options that might be accidentally selected but can't find anything. I changed my monitor color settings, but that doesn't seem to be it, either.
What is happening to the color and why do colors on shapes look different than color in the background? Help. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Petra

Could be that monitor gamma, when calibrating the monitor, is different on old and new system.
Not that it should matter, but both browsers and iWEB handles colors in strange ways and sometimes use the Monitor color profile instead of for instance the sRGB color profile.

MBP shows strange colored images, artefacts

Hi everyone,
since a few days my MBP (2,4 GHz, Summer 2007) shows some strange artefacts on images. I attached a screenshot taken with my camera.
I tried the following to solve the issue:
- reset PRAM
- re-install 10.5.2, re-install graphics update
- change resolution and color depth
During my tests I noticed a few strange things:
- Preview.app is closed, I choose another color profile and open the attached picture, picture is okay
- switch back to standard color profile, picture in Preview.app is still okay
- Close Preview.app, reopen picture --> strange colors
Booting with other Mac in target mode doesn't help
When starting from Leopard-DVD the original Aurora wallpaper is displayed without artefacts but I can't reinstall because I already have 10.5.2 installed.
So does anybody know whats going wrong here? Tips? Suggestions?
Thank you very much in advance!
Alex from Germany

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
It is very difficult to know what is going on here. It seems to me that if it were a hardware issue, you would have strange colors no matter how you set the color profile. Given that the colors are off in just certain situations, I would suspect a software glitch of some sort. I am not a software expert, so I don't know if there is a good way to fix this short of reinstalling the OS. Even though you have OS X v. 10.5.2 installed, I think you could reinstall the OS by doing an Archive and Install and then updating it back to 10.5.2. You need to have a certain amount of free space on your hard drive to do this, and of course you would want to make a complete backup first just in case anything were to go wrong. And you would want to repair permissions both before and after the A&I.
Otherwise, there are a couple of things you could try. You could run the Apple Hardware Test and see if everything passes. You could also repair permissions using Disk Utility and see if that helps, particularly if you haven't done that in a while.
It's also hard for us to tell much from just one picture. It might be helpful to post a shot of the normal colors next to the strange colors. That might provide better insight to someone. Also, you can use the utility "Grab" to take a screenshot using your computer instead of a camera-- that might also make things a bit better to see.
Good luck!

Can I dynamically display Page title over a static header image?

Is there a way to Dynamically Display Page Title Text Over my static site Header Image? here is a link so you can see what I am talking about. http://www.bridgestoprosperity.org/See-Our-Work/afghanistan/afghanistan.htm where Afghanistan would be the text to be replaced automatically on each page. Please note, currently, I must create individual headers, insert the page title in photoshop, etc. I am hoping to figure out a way for all this to happen dynamically perhaps by calling the text from the page title info.
Thank you,
Allan

Hi, Allan,
I realize my suggestion is off your point, and you probably have already thought of some of this, hence your question... But, rather than going the dynamic route, Why not create a Header Image without a title on it and use it as a div background image? Replace this
<img src="/See-Our-Work/afghanistan/Images/header/afghanistan-header.jpg" name="topnavbar_r1_c1" width="779" height="114" border="0" alt="bridges to prosperity: afghanistan">
with the styled div, for instance:
<div id="header"><h2>Afghanistan</h2><h3>Bridges to Prosperity: USA</h3><div>
At this point, you can use a more generic image for the background, one that does not have "Afghanistan" embedded in it, and you may style the #header thus:
#header {
     width: 779px;
     height: 114px;
     border: 0;
     background-image: url(/See-Our-Work/Images/header/header.jpg;)/* for instance */
and the header Headline styles thus:
#header h2, #header h3 {
     color: white;
     text-align: right;
     font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
Then you can place your html (<h2>, <h3> etc.) in the same div, only on the "surface".
Using the tags <h2> and <h3> will maintain their usefulness to Search Engines; as hiding them in images does not.
If you still wished to vary the header image, depending on the contents of the page, you can actually control all of this from the CSS file, if you add an id attribute to the <body> of each page.
For instance, for your example page, if you did this:
<body id="afghanistan">
You could then do this in your CSS file:
#header {
     width: 779px;
     height: 114px;
     border: 0;
body#afghanistan #header {
     background-image: url(/See-Our-Work/afghanistan/Images/header/afghanistan-header.jpg);
You could then proceed to have a different background image for each page. (Not your original intention, but now possible).
<body id="pakistan"> would use a CSS style declaration like:
body#pakistan #header {
     background-image: url(...pakistan-header.jpg...etc.);
I am not aware of being able to pass content (other than background images) using CSS, so I would go into each page and put the Headline in html.
But if you were using multiple background images in the header div (one image for afghanistan, another for pakistan, in my example), you can use the same <body id="afghanistan"> for ALL pages about Afghanistan, and thus have the continuity of the same image for all. Likewise, you could id all pages about Pakistan <body id="pakistan">.
I hope this gives you some ideas...

Strange colors, possibly corruption?

I am getting random images that have colors all messed up. Sometimes it the original raw file, but usually its one of the versions. Part of the original file will be visible, but maybe three quarters of it has massive color streaks and *****.
Deleting the version and reapplying the changes will fix it, but when the RAW file is doing this then I have no fix.
I will import a bunch of files and everything looks good. then the next day I will open the project and maybe 5 files have strange color shifts..
is there any way I can post an image to display this?

I too ran into this problem 6 or more months ago. I found it to be OSX 10.6 that started corrupting files when writing to an external firewire drive. I went back to my memory card at the Canon files (both raw and JPG) were fine. I had the corruption when writing the files from the memory card to the firewire drive, before importing the raw files into Aperture. I was also able to duplicate it on two different computer running 10.6 through 10.8 with different firewire drives. I ran a Photoshop action that resized and saved the files on both the firewire external drive and the internal HD. The HD files were ALL fine, but about 15% of the external FW drive images were bad.
Apple, of course, had never heard of this problem!
I know of at least one other photographer that has had the same issue.

Messed up color display and resolution because of mini-DVI to video adapter

Once I connected the mini-DVI to video adapter to the tv and got weird colors on my screen for a while but then it worked out, then after a while I disconnected the cable and turned my computer off. After that, everytime I turned my macbook on, the color is fine for two seconds and then it turns into a weird offset color, really bright colors, kinda sketchy and just a few colors, and a weird resolution and display obviously, but then I just connect my Mini-DVI to video adapter and disconnect it again (quickly) and the color returns to normal. How can I make the normal colors stay and not have to connect the mini-DVI to video adapater everytime I want to see the normal color display and resolution??
please help!

Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences, click on Seeing, turn off the White on Black, VoiceOver, and Zoom options, and drag the Contrast slider all the way to the left. If the issue persists, create a new folder on the desktop, drag half of the items from the Library/Preferences/ folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon into it, and narrow down the files until you've isolated the one responsible.
