The red in the monitor is yellow??? The black is green????????

Dear Everyone,
About 5 days ago my powerbook monitor started showing red as yellow and black as green. The computer works the same(perfectly). But the display is hard to read. I certainlky can't do any work in Aadobe. Maybe you would say there is no contrast in the display. Anyway I can find where I can change the calibration.

Hmm. It doesn't quite sound like you've switched to "White on Black" mode in the Universal Access control panel in System Preferences.
How many colors is your display set to in the Displays control panel? Under the Color tab, what profile is selected?

When using my power adapter, the light is green for a two seconds and turns red.

When using the power adapter for my MacBook 2.1, the little light on the connector is green for 2 or 3 seconds and then turns red. I bought a new adapter, but it is the same thing. It looks like the computer is charging. What's wrong with it.

Nothing wrong. Here is what Macbook manual has to say:
When you first connect the power adapter to your computer, an indicator light on the
power adapter plug starts to glow. An amber light indicates that power is going to the
battery. A green light indicates that no power is going to the battery, which can mean
the battery is fully charged, is not installed, or has a problem. If you don’t see a light,
your plug probably isn’t seated correctly. Check for any debris and remove it. You can
monitor the battery level using the Battery status menu in the menu bar or by
checking the battery level indicator lights on the bottom of the battery (see page 74).

It maybe trying to boot from the incomplete install.
Try starting your Mac while holding down the Option key, it should then list all the available boot drives including the Mac OS X one. Boot from the Mac one and then you can wipe the damaged PC one or set the Mac to stay booting in to OS X.

I updated my iMac to 10.7.3 and about an hour later the screen began to flicker with a gray line on the upper side, and it also flicker green and red small pixel lines all over the screen, mainly green.

I updated my iMac to 10.7.3 and about an hour later the screen began to flicker with a gray line on the upper side, and it also flicker green and red small pixel lines all over the screen, mainly green. The computer froze with these pixels, so I shut it off and restarted it, and there were this green lines everywere. So I turned it off, and the next day I turned it on and it began to work just fine, but suddenly the same thing happened again, and when I restart the computer again there are these green and some red pixels everywere.
I've read 10.7.3 is giving people many problems, but I never saw that it gave one like this. How can I fix this, or what will Apple do to fix this problem they caused me with their update.
Thanks

I want to highlight various words in a pages document with a yellow or black box behind the text

I want to use a highlighter in Pages. I know how to do it in steps.. but would like a shortcut to highlight various words throughout the document with a yellow or black box behind the text.. help

I got another idea. Create a style with the text and background colour you want. You can apply a short cut for that style. Beware that the styles is only for that particular document but you can import styles or you can use Save as Template and keep it as a template.

I bought the white IP 4S in Nov 2011, so it is turning to yellow. Could I change to the black one at Apple store?

Hi everyone!
I bought the white IP 4S in Nov 2011, so it is turning to yellow. Could I change to the black one at Apple store?

You can purchase a new iPhone in a different color/capacity. Warranty replacement will be for exact same color/capacity.
Take it to Apple for evaluation, most likely they will replace it without issues. Just ensure that you do a backup and sync before going to the store.

Running Photoshop CC on iMac w/ 2 monitors. The black application background is stuck to the top left between the 2 monitors, tried resetting workspaces, new workspaces... no joy. I'd just as soon eliminate it as its always in the way. thanks

alright. reformat, no longer have and fan-controlling software running, SMC reset, software update, etc. New, precise test using System Load to add a load to the cpu, Hardware Monitor for the temperatures, and TFMonitor for fan speeds. Running both CPUs at 99.5%*, the CPU fan sped up to just over 1500 rpm (HDD and ODD fans stayed relatively the same), from its resting 1198, with the temperatures maxing out at:
PSU: 176°F (80°C)
CPU Core 1: 164°F (74°C)
CPU Core 2: 171°F (77°C)
System Load and Hardware Monitor (or Temperature monitor) are from: http://ciderhouse.ivory.ne.jp/wp/english/
and TF monitor is from: http://ciderhouse.ivory.ne.jp/wp/english/
Now, to someone with more experience than I, are these numbers within reasonable operating range? And if the CPU fan can go as high as 3300 rpm, why would it not go any higher than half that? (smcFanControl reported 3300 as the max before I reformatted, but after reformatting I can't seem to get it to work)
It just doesn't make sense to me. ....and I'm not fond of the heat radiating off the monitor...
*I tested it up at almost 100% because with the work I do, I often do run around there. From time to time I do 3D renders and video work, and Photoshop almost never closes on my computer.

Y70-70 screen : problems with the black and white colors

Hi all, I just bought a Lenovo Y70-70 Touch 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 linked to these, reported on the Y50-70, supposing the screens of both models are the same (which I don't know) :- 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.

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.

How can I print using only the black ink cartridge?

I have a officejet 4620 that I need to know how to set up to have the option of using the black ink cartridge only. I rarely ever use color ink and I dont want $30 worth of color ink to dwindle away while printing pages that do not need any sort of quality printing. How can I change this setting? I have a Mac and there are hardly any options when trying to print anything.
Thanks!

Hello @downeyke , and welcome to the HP Forums!

HT1178 My Time Capsule is only blinking amber. My computer tried to backup but I don't know how to tell if it did in fact back up the data. How can I tell if it backed up and why doesn't the light show green?

Just purchased a Time Capsule. Had to call Comcast to disable the WIFI and have internet connection. The time capsule though blinks amber and the Airport Utility shows blinking amber light and has a red circle with the number 1 in it. After connecting, my computer tried doing a backup for the first time and it appeared that it was backing up and finished although I don't know how to check to make sure that it did backup. How do I check and shouldn't the light on the time capsule be blinking green and the airport utility show green?

TM will show it has done a backup.. Look at the info.. when was the backup completed??
If you want more details install the widget.

The time capsule though blinks amber and the Airport Utility shows blinking amber light and has a red circle with the number 1 in it.
There is an error.. probably trivial.. firmware update, default password..
Open the airport utility and find out what the error is.
Simply click the TC and see status in the summary page.. it will list all the errors and what you should do.. fix or ignore them. ie this TC has an error.. default password.. I chose to ignore.. when I "fix" the problem the LED goes green.
Here is additional TC.. it is blinking amber with faults.
Click the fault. eg default password.
You can ignore or edit .. if you click edit it will take you to the full setup where you can change the settings.
I ignored my errors and now it is green..

Selecting and copying only the black and gray of picture

Hi everyone,
Looking for some help. I am a Paramedic Instructor and want to clean up some heart rhythms to make them more neat and presentable for use during class. Below is the sort of image I would be working with.
What I would like to do is remove only the black and gray lines (when they print out of the EKG machine some lines have some gray in them) and place them on a neater cleaner background as below
(The image above I found on a website where the creator has 100's of EKGs that this has been done with, but have been unable to get him to tell me how it was done)
Im hoping someone will be able to figure out how this can be done and lend me some help. Also let me know if another Adobe product would be more useful in this situation.
**I have CS6 Master Collection so you know what programs I have available to use**
Warm regards,
Bryan
Flight Paramedic/Instructor, Maryland

Hi Bryan,
You can probably remove most of the red lines using some method in Photoshop, like Channel Mixer Adjustment Layer (set to Monochrome) or Black & White Adjustment Layer adjusting the Red slider. Then you may have to use Levels (or Dodge Tool) to make the remaining red lines (now light gray) turn white.
Once you have a BW EKG trace with no red, you can put it on a layer above a clean graph and set its Blend Mode to Multiply.

The red in the monitor is yellow??? The black is green????????
