The appearance has gone into a "negative print" look for all windows, web, pictures etc. No changes were made to settings.

15" MacBook Pro from 2008.
Working fine this morning and then shut the screen. After lifting 30 mins later the appearnce has all gone in to "negative" style. Have tried shutting down and restarting but with no change. I have tried changing appearance settings. No luck.
On startup all colours look normal and then it switched to a negative look. I also checked for updates and there were some so I ran them. Interestingly when running the update the background was standard Mac "space" and all colours were correct. That suggests to me that the screen is OK but something is telling it wrong color instructions (sometimes).
All other functions seem to be working ok.
Can't attach a screen shot using Grab because this chat says throws up an error - "content not allowed". Its a tiff file?
Any suggestions welcome.
Rob.

Go to System Preferences>Accessibility and make sure that "invert colors" is not turned on:
It won't show up in a screenshot...

My IPad 2 screen has gone into "photo negative" type images for everything. Ideas?

Can anyone help re. IPad 2 screen,et al going into photo negative view of everything?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

I am getting error (-1) while updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1. The phone has gone into a recovery mode. Restore fails every time at "restoring the firmware" stage. Striped bar remains for a long time, then shows "error (-1)" and the restore fails. Help!

Thanks for your reply Michalo. I am in India and here Apple care does not work on Sundays. I have been without my phone for the entire day. Perhaps tomorrow will bring some respite. There is not solution to "error (-1)" on any forum it seems. I found one forum which suggested use of Tiny Umbrella. Any idea about that?

I was updating my iPhone 4 and my cabel fell out. Now i only get the option to restore my iPhone. Will I loose all my apps, pictures, etc?

anyone?

All of your apps, pictures, etc should be on your computer, as you should always make sure that everything has been imported to, synced with your computer before any update.
You can just sync it all back.

How to get the date on which a material has gone into stock

Dear All,
Suppose that I have some 20 unrestricted stock for a material. I want to know on which date the same has gone into stock ..Maybe 15 might have gone before 2 weeks and 5 might have gone a couple of days ago.
How can we get the details for the same .
Thanking you in advance,
Shankar

Although you can look at the materia documents created for this material in recent past but that is not a way to track this kind of information. Batch management can be used for enabling tracking of this kind of information. Take for example following situation -
    1st January 100 PC IN
    10th January 50 PC IN
    1st Feburary 75 PC OUT
    2nd Feburary 25 PC OUT
You get only this kind of information from material documents but with this information it is not possible to know what you are looking for. If this is the requirement then Batch Management should be enabled.
Cheers,
Sanjeev

FIRST charge with an Apple charger for at least 15 minutes. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. Hold for up to 30 seconds. If nothing happens the phone hardware has failed.

My Aperture 2.1 has gone into a continual thumbnail mode. I left the computer, a MacBook Pro, run all night, about 12 hours and it is still making thumbnails. I tried reloading Aperture 2.1, but that did not change anything. I have also turned the system off, for a period of time, and then turning it back on, when I click on Aperture, it comes up and locks in the thumbnail mode. I can view my stored pictures, even modify them, but it still says thumbnails.
I got in this mode by trying to import "one jpeg photo", from a scanned slide using a Nikon Scan4 IS5000ED scanner. I had saved the scan to my desktop before I tried to import it.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. If the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode, then Restore the Firmware. If not recognized, then hold both Home and Power Buttons until the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.

That's about what it's supposed to look.
How do You want it to look ?
a. You can change places by using this
b. May be You changed this top right symbol of an hard disk ?
c. or changed the number of frames to be viewed ?
d. OR - it can (at least for me) be so that You think of how it looks in iPhoto. (To me a very common mistake)
