UI does not have enough contrast! All white windows, ARGH!

There's lots I love about the Mac and Yosemite.
But, the windows are just too white.  It's too difficult to tell where one thing ends and another begins!  It all looks like white space!
Please have an option to change the window colors amongst a few different themes. 
The "all white sheets" theme just isn't working for me.
And remember, not ALL monitors are 27" iMac monitors.   Some are 3rd party or not perfectly color tuned or auto-adjusting for the light in the room!!!!
The colors aside, Yosemite is GREAT in many many ways.
Thanks,
Chris

Have you tried "Dark Mode"?
System Preferences > General > check Use dark menu bar and Dock
Also, try some of the Accessibility features such as Increase contrast and Reduce Transparency
System Preferences > Accessibility > Display

  • My iphone 4s keeps saying it does not have enough icloud storage and cannot be backed up. When I go to icloud storage and backup, it says that I have 5.0 GB of total storage and 5.0 GB of available storage.

    My iphone 4s keeps saying it does not have enough icloud storage and icloud cannot be backed up. When I go to icloud Storage & Backup in my settings, it says that I have 5.0 GB total and 5.0 GB available. The only thing I have selected, at this point, to be backed up are my contacts and the Find My iPhone app. Why does it always say I have no icloud storage available when I have ALL of the icloud storage available?!

    It says that my next backup size is 7.3 GB, but I have no idea why, because the only thing selected is the Find iPhone app, which takes up 0.2 KB...How do I get rid of whatever it THINKS it's backing up?

  • HT3275 Time Machine says my external hard drive does not have enough

    Time Machine says my external hard drive does not have enough space for the current backup.  It needs 34 G out of a 250G hard drive.  All that is on the drive is earlier backups.  I recently added memory, which may confuse Time Machine into thinking it is a new computer.  How can I erase old backups and complete this one?

    See #C4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting. 
    If that doesn't clear it up, how much data is on your Mac?  If TM is only trying to back-up 34 GB, it should be able to delete old backups to do that (assuming you're running Lion).
    It sounds like your backups may be corrupted.  Try to repair them, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

    If that's all you did, no.

    Just erase the drive per #1 or #2 of Using Disk Utility.

  • "The startup disk does not have enough space to be partitioned?" WHY!??

    I"m trying to intall windows 7 on my Macbook air  OS X 10.6. When i enter bootCam i get this error "The startup disk does not have enough space to be partitioned" . It says I need 10GBs of free space, even though I have 500GBs of free space on my drive external hardriver.
    I did my research, and a lot of people are saying to use idefrag and defrag the hardrive, which i did. I also verifed disk permissions and repaired disk permission and all the other stuff.
    What should i do? Apple hass the shittiest service. I spend $1100 bucks for something and i don't even get support without paying? to me, that's BS. so if anyone could help i would greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks Bob.

  • "The Finder does not have enough memory available"

    "The Finder does not have enough memory available"
    Situation: G4 (AGP Graphics), OS 9.0 with tons of memory.
    Problem: Only with any browser viz Explorer, Communicator, iCab or Opera (all versions). Starts off fine. I have broadband. Then steadily goes slower and slower till virtually stops even with just the one browser and one window and no other programs in use. Try to do anything else and above message appears. The problem seems to involves the operating system and the way it interacts with the code of certain sites eg Ebay. It has nothing to do with PRAM, or allocation of memory to the browser or deleting various Preferences. The deletion of Finder, Memory etc Preferences, quitting, restarting all deal with the symptoms and are not a permanent cure. The primary symptom is a massive loss of available memory, not even enough to run a single browser and one window! Any simple solutions? I realise I can upgrade to OS 9.2. Will this work? Apart from this browser problem I am happy with my present set so is there a simpler solution apart from upgrading?

    Thankyou to all for the welcome and your responses to my query.
    I have 640mb of RAM. The problem is intermitent and is determined to a great extent by the sites which I visit. Yahoo for example is great - no problems. In another window visiting eg Ebay will eventually (variable) cause a slowdown. I have switched Virtual Memory on and off, changed cache, program allocations of memory, regularly used Norton Utilies to inspect, repair, defrag etc and looked all over the place for advice. Things run great for a while but it is only a question of time , months or even days, before the problem re-appears. I was surprised to find so little about it on the Web. Perhaps everyone else has upgraded or is on OS X! If I could have done something without upgrading I may have gone for that option as everything else is running like a dream and I want to keep it that way! I use programs such as Paperport (sadly not made for OS X) which I find a marvellous scanning and paperwork management program. To get it to work with OS 9.0 I had to determine with Cassidy & Green's marvellous extension conflict identifier Conflict Catcher that the Control Strip needed disabling. If I upgrade, I could, for Paperport et al, upset the Apple cart! I have also read about a program called Reaper which was used to deal, I believe, with Finder memory problems with OS 7 and OS 8. It is still available on at http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macos/3783 Apart from this I know nothing more at present about it.
    However, the following was one item which I found of great interest which goes along with your advice of upgrading.
    From http://www.icab.de/faq.html#q36
    "Mac OS 8/9: Why does iCab 3.0 complain that it is running out of memory all the time?
    This is not a bug of iCab, it's a bug of the "classic" MacOS 8.5/8.6 (and maybe OS 9.0 as well). The problem occurs when a web page has web forms with text input fields. The Unicode text input fields (MLTE) of these old MacOS releases do still have some serious bugs. One of theses bugs causes the MacOS to reserve almost all available memory for these text edit fields so there's no memory left for iCab. Apple has fixed this bug in MacOS 9.2.x (maybe in 9.1 as well), so the best solution for this problem would be to upgrade the MacOS. If this is not possible, you can disable the Unicode text input fields in the preferences dialog of iCab in the panel "Operation > Browser, Tabs". Switch off the option "Use Unicode TextEdit" to configure iCab so that it will use the "ancient" text edit fields, which do work OK, but which do not support Unicode".
    Here is someone with a similar problem back in 2000:
    "From TacitRF

    This is ridiculous! I have hardly touched this machine today. Does RAM get eaten up while the computer is sitting there idle (and sleeping every now and then after I've checked email or looked at a couple newsgroup posts)?
    Yes, it can, under certain circumstances.
    Open your TCP/IP control panel. Click the Options button. (If there is no Options button, select Edit->User Mode, and click "Advanced.") Is "Load Only When Needed" turned on? If it is, you may severly fragment the memory in your computer every time you start a program that uses the Internet. Let's say, for example, you launch Netscape. Netscape tries to access the Internet. This causes TCP/IP to load, on top of Netscape. Now, when you quit Netscape, the memory it was using may not get freed up. Launch Outlook. It loads TCP/IP. Now, when you quit Outlook, you may not get its memory back either". Try turning off Load Only When Needed in the TCP/IP Options, see if that solves
    the problem. Hope that helps!"
    I find that whatever I do one way or another the slowdown will eventually reappear. A bit like weeding gardens and washing dishes! Well unless there is a way of dealing with OS 9.0 memory behaviour with browsers it looks like an upgrade will have to do!

  • The disc inserted does not have enough free space

    I created a disk image about 451 MB, it an Audio Disk. When I try to write the image to a blank Memorex CD-R 700 MB I get the message: "The disc inserted does not have enough free space".
    When I created the image I used the disk utility and followed the help file instructions. When I open File> New> I can only select "disk image from folder", the other option is grayed out.

    wow, this is my first real disappointment with my MacBook. I can't burn images, technical support didn't get me any further than I already was. I spent half a day trying everything in the world to burn an image with no success.(followed all the help instructions) Now I have to go into the Apple store to have them go through all the same stuff I went through today. Two days of working on this computer to burn a CD with no success.
    My guess is that at the end of the day tomorrow I will walk away from the store with no computer because of a malfunction. What a wasted weekend.

  • On demand error - box does not have enough credit

    For the duration of the day I cannot watch free on demand programs. For example, when I attempt to play an NBC show it states that that my box does not have enough credit and to call customer service. I am calling the The number given and entering the code 8362 as given in the error message. The line rings and then disconnects. I tried calling the customer svc nbr specified in the customer svc screen from the menu option. It rings and then just disconnects. Very disappointed that a company like Verizon does not have the methods or technology to accept inbound calls to their customer service centers. I am posting here in hopes of obtaining some support from verizon since I cannot obtain support by calling.

    "This happened to me earlier. Go to Menu and select Customer Support. Select In Home Agent. I tried to reboot (only gave me different error code). Select Set Top Box Auto Correct. This seemed to have done the trick. What do you know.....I am watching the movie that shut down when this all started. Good Luck!"

  • "Disc inserted does not have enough free space"

    I am ready to burn my slideshow on a DVD. The info window in the project indicates that I am well within the parameters to fit on a DVD (4.7 GB). All the gauges are green. However, when I go to burn the disk I get the error message: "Disc inserted does not have enough free space". Looking at the info palette from the Finder window regarding the disk image, I find that it requires 5.8 GB, which, of course, won't fit. How come the iDVD project says I am good to go when I am not?
    I have OSX 10.4.11 and work on a G5. I have 53 GB available.

    Perhaps you may wish to use Dual Layer DVD-R Media (Verbatim / Maxell) in the event your mac supports this newer media. If not, you can add an ext. FW Burner preconfigured from Lacie or do what I did and build your own:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5826029&#5826029
    and here's how I select Dual layer via the ext. FW Burner as opposed to the stock S-drive:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5566746&#5566746
    The only other option that comes to mind for SL as well as DL medias is burning said image with Roxio Toast (fit to disc option).

  • Macbook has Grey screen wont start- said " MAC OSX does not have enough memory "

    My daughter was using the macbook, and a message came up saying something like MAC OSX does not have enough memory for start up applications, ...
    and it was frozen ( wish I had written down what it said") In held the start button down for 10 seconds, and now it wont work properly.
    All I get on start up is a grey screen. I have tried holding down shift key and rebooting, but nothing.
    I tried resetting the Pram or whatever it is.
    I cant try and start from the start up utility disc as there is already a disc in there and I cant get it out.
    Have tried rebooting with mouse key pressed., have tried rebooting holding F12, rebooting holding command O and P , have tried pushing the ejectb button when rebooting. But nada.

  • I have been told my macbook does not have enough gb for Lion. and that i can not keep my mobile me mail without lion. so does this mean I have to drop mobile me and get another email address?

    I have been told my macbook does not have enough gb for Lion. and that i can not keep my mobile me mail without lion. so does this mean I have to drop mobile me and get another email address?

    You probably know that mobilme goes away in June this year. There are two ways to access your mail account on iCloud, either through Lion or via the web. Web access won't get you to all the benefits of iCloud but will allow you to get to Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Find My iPhone.  See this FAQ: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html
    If you decide to go with Lion, the maximum memory you can install is 4GB, however the system will only use 3GB, which is enough to run Lion. Lion requires 2GB, however, some have not been satisfied with it's performance in 2GB. One source for memory is OWC at http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/

  • Warning that the GPU accelerated ray-traced 3D renderer does not have enough free memory to operate

    [UPDATE: Memory handling for the ray-traced 3D renderer is greatly improved by installing the After Effects CC (12.2) or After Effects CS6 (11.0.4) update.]
    You may see a warning message when using After Effects CC (12.1) that the GPU accelerated ray-traced 3D renderer does not have enough free memory to operate.
    When the GPU acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer is disabled, the CPU version of the ray-traced 3D renderer will operate.
    The message about the GPU-accelerated ray-traced 3D renderer not having enough free memory to operate is because of a change in After Effects CC (12.1) to actually warn you when your computer was in a dangerously low VRAM state. In After Effects CC (12.0) and After Effects CS6 (11.0), a computer with very little VRAM could still try to use the GPU accelerated ray-traced 3D renderer, but it would very, very, very often crash. So, now, After Effects CC (12.1) is just detecting the condition that would lead to a crash, telling you about it, and disabling the GPU acceleration until you have dealt with the problem.
    So, how do you deal with this low-memory condition? You free up VRAM. This means closing all applicaitons that use GPU memory, which includes web browsers (yes, web browsers these days use the GPU). It also means disconnecting additional monitors, each of which uses a lot of VRAM. In some cases, restarting the computer is necessary.
    This is primarily a problem on Mac OS with cards with 1GB of VRAM, such as the GT 650M in the MacBook Pro. These cards on this OS have just barely enough GPU memory (VRAM) to make use of the GPU-accelerated ray-traced 3D renderer under even the best of circumstances. If you want to use the GPU-accelerated ray-traced 3D renderer, you should really be using a more powerful GPU, one with more VRAM.
    Note that this has nothing to do with the OpenGL GPU features in After Effects. Details of the GPU features are here: http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2012/05/gpu-cuda-opengl-features-in-after-effects-cs6. html

    hey Todd
    i have the exact same problem but with my new macpro with renderay no matter what i do even a simple 3d extraction the renderay crashes! My cuda is full up to date and everything not sure why! if you have any way to resolve this issue would be awesome and help us out since i am on a deadline! at the moment!
    I have attached a few screen shots and my computer specs! as you can see the GPU Should not be running low on memory xD since its pretty much nearly full speced!
    The error!
    This is what was there! and all i added was a extractor after this and the error above appears!
    and this is my computer specs as you can see there is no lack of Power, Ram or VRAM here! so not sure why this error is occurring even after updating CUDA
    if you have anything else i could try please let me know! Thanks!

  • Upgraded to Yosemite and now my Time Capsule says it does not have enough space to complete backup, yet it has 500 GB free space?

    I have just upgraded to Yosemite and now my Time Capsule says it does not have enough space to complete backup, yet it has 500 GB free space?
    I am using the latest mac book pro and hacvent added anything aside from the upgraded iOS so not sure why the Time Capsule is saying that there is not enough space.
    How can i fix this problem?

    Time Machine has to completely index all of the old backups that are already on the Time Capsule before you can run a new backup successfully.
    That process is going to take a long time......probably 6-10 hours or more if your Mac is connected to the Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet connection.
    If the Mac connects using wireless, it may take a day or two for the process to complete depending on the speed of your connection and the amount of data that you already have on the Time Capsule.
    Wait a day or two for the indexing process to complete and then try to run a new backup again.

  • Ipod touch cannot not be sync as itunes does not have enough memory

      I got a new ipod touch 32gb yesterday 12.sept 2011.
    i set it up to my computer and put my apps and music on to it, its has 25.2gb left on it and my computer has 80gb memory left put when i try to put pictures on to the ipod 32gb it shows and error message saying
    THIS IPOD CANNOT BE SYNC AS ITUNES DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH MEMORY,
    whats going on.?
    Also all my apps from my 8gb ipod touch are all updated and put on the 32gb ipod touch  but when i go to updates on the 32gb ipod touch it shows all my apps have updates to download
    but when i click on the same are showing the £0.69 next to them, if i click on them do i have to buy them again? WHEN I ALREADY HAVE PAID FOR THEM
    my ipod touch 8gb has 4gb memory left and that too cannot sync pictures or any more music as the same error message shows
    THIS IPOD CANNOT NOT BE SYNC AS ITUNES DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH MEMORY
    IS THIS I TUNES MEMORY OR SOMETHING

    it seem's to be working not but don't know how long
    keep your fingers crossed ...
    my laptop has an 2tb of ram
    you mean 2GB, right? You might consider to get yourself more RAM to run Lion smoothly. Looking at my machine I see that the kernel, Safari, iTunes and Mail together take up 2GB, without doing anything interesting at all.
