That helps a lot Tom. But thanks for your intelligent input, I am sure it has helped the OP out with their query. You seem to be very bitter towards Apple and yet continue to post your negativity everywhere in these forums, usually with little relevance to the questions asked and the issues raised. But if it reassures you about your inability to keep up with technology then we are all happy for you.
Now back to the OP. The workarounds spoken about include

as a couple of examples. They are hacks, so I don't know if you have to turn them back on after each reboot, but apparently they will color your world again.

FCP to Color - what happens to color corrections?

I usually just strip the color correction filters out of FCP clips before sending to Color.
Just wondering what happens if one leaves them in?
B

The Book says this:
Filters: Final Cut Pro FXScript or FxPlug filters are neither previewed nor rendered by Color. However, their presence in your project is maintained, and they show up again once the project is sent back to Final Cut Pro.

What happened to color in Lion's G.U.I.????!!!!

Why are System Preferences in color yet iTunes and the rest of Lion is in 1980's monochrome?
Those of us who have used a Mac from the begining have lost patience with Apple's idea of 200 new features when they take away so many good ones?
Since when is color not in the G.U.I.? Why did I encourage all these folks to buy Macs for the last 28 years!!!!?? This is the one of the worst moves to damage a great timesaver... but someone is thinking different not inteligently... anyone else out there feel this way?

Weird color consistency problem: What happened?

Here's a weird one:
On Friday I worked on several RAW files in Lightroom 2.5.
I adjusted all colorations, white balance clarity sharpness etc.
Looked great. Saved the metadata to the files. Opened them in Bridge then Photoshop.
Looked perfect. All coloration looked exactly the same across all three apps as they usually do.
Saturday, I go to open some of the files.
The PSDs looked very washed out, overexposed and unsaturated.
My whole display looked badly calibrated. (Apple Cinema Display)(Too bright and low contrast)
So I started in on trying to fix it.
I recalibrated the monitor in the displays preferences dialog box.
Got the monitor looking correct. The gamma settings were acting strange. Not sticking to their default settings...
I restarted a couple of times.
But when I looked at the files there was a great discrepancy between what I was seeing in Lightroom and what I was seeing in Bridge and Photoshop.
The images looked perfect in Lightroom but washed out and desaturated in Bridge and Photoshop.
It looked like a really bad misunderstanding of color space information.
I have my color profile in Bridge (which is supposed to control all the CS4 color spaces) set to North America PrePress 2.
I could not see a way to set Lightroom's color profile in it's preferences.
All of the RAW files were exported to PSDs as Adobe RGB 1998 or sRGB.
Fast forward to today.
I just opened all three apps and looked at the files.
Today everything is matching again.
Weird!
(And no I was not drinking heavily yesterday)
What happened?
BTW, I am on a non Intel Mac, running OSX 10.5.8.
I had downloaded the Lightroom 3 Beta only to discover that it doesnt work on Non-Intel machines.
I deleted the beta from my hard drive although I dont think that was causing the condition.
I was not running LR 3.0 yesterday.
Anyone have any ideas why my color syncing went so far off between the 3 apps?
Makes me concerned that when my client gets the PSDs from me the files make look like crap on her system.

Anyone have any ideas why my color syncing went so far off between the 3 apps?
Undoubtedly a monitor profile problem. I sometimes have weird issues where my mac just seems to ignore the display profile after waking up from sleep (known bug in Apple's OS X BTW). Recalibrating and restarting the apps always fixes the issue.

All color is gone ,what happened ,do i have a virus?

all color is gone from my screen? what happened?do i have a virus?

You don't have a virus. Open the Accessibility or Universal Access preference pane and uncheck the box marked Use grayscale.

My phone is unresponsive, like a black screen, except bright colors streak the screen. I tried plugging it into the computer but it says its an unknown device. What happened?

I recently plugged in my phone to the computer to download some music. It was resyncing and copying an app, while simultaneously I was on snapchat when suddenly a big wave of pink covered the bottom of the screen, then streaks of bright colors covered the whole screen. I cant turn it off because I use assistive touch, which is now covered by the streaks. Right now I'm waiting for my phone to turn off by itself, hopefully, because it was low battery when I plugged it in. Not only that, but when I plug it into the computer it says the device and port are 'unknown'. What happened? Is my phone broken? Please help me.

See if you can connect in recovery mode and restore your device, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
If you can't, you should get it serviced.

What happens to LAB color when exported to cmyk

I have a workflow at work that goes like this: We work color in Photoshop in Adobe RGB (1998) and convert to our cmyk space only upon output. I've found that, in many cases, I like to work in L*a*b. What happens when an LAB images is placed in InDesign and exported to a pdf to our cmyk space? Thanks!

InDesign can place PSD and TIFF files which are in the LAB color space.
What happens when you export to PDF depends on which PDF preset you use. If you choose PDF/X-1a, the Lab color will be converted to the working CMYK color space (by default US Web Coated SWOP v2, same as in Photoshop). You can test this by examining the resulting PDF in Output Preview in Acrobat 8 Professional or Acrobat 9 Pro.
If you chose PDF/X-3 or PDF/X-4, the color would be unchanged and the PDF would still have the image in LAB color space with the LAB profile that Photoshop created.

What happens to Apple Color users with the new Final Cut Pro x

What happens to Apple Color users with the new Final Cut Pro x?

Some of the functions of Color have been incorporated into FCP X, meaning you will have more than the 3-Way-Color-Corrector but less than Color.
Since you cannot share projects between FCP and FCP X, you might want to stay with FCS if you rely on Color.

Hello, I have a Macbook Pro 17'' 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 (2011). I dont know what happened but the pixels on black or dark areas on my monitor are displayed in a flickering red color, and on white areas are light blue. Any idea??

Hello,
I have a Macbook Pro 17'', 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 (late 2011). I dont know what happened but the screen shows red flickering pixels everywhere where it should be black, and light blue pixels where it should be gray, I had this problem twice, the first time it just disappeared by itself. Now it's been like this for days, I have really no clue.
Anyone with the same problem or solution?
This is how it looks like:
Thanx

Is that a camera picture or a screen-shot? Is there any difference? i.e., can you capture the problems in a screen shot, or not?

Confused about what happened to layout tools in CC

I'm wondering what happened to the tools that used to be in DW CS6 on the bottom of the layout window? It seems that many of the tools have been eliminated? Is there someway to get them back? I've attached screenshots of the same doc in CS6 and CC. Please note that the option to make the view 100% is gone as well as the pointer and the hand tool. Please help! Thanks!!!
CS6
CC

I re-worked the code a bit. And I can see the layout just fine but I can't see the oversized background-image in Design view. I suspect it's just too big.

What happened to Split View?

I wanted to watch the Macword Keynote today to see what features Steve put out there that we don't currently have.
One is "Split View" email:
This allows us to see the email message in the current window with the email list at the top, and the mail message at the bottom.
I also wanted to put out there that I can confirm there are 2 extra tabs at the top of iTunes that they previewed, the second to last on the right vaguely makes out "ringtones".
Regardless, at the bottom there is an additional green color category that you cannot make out the text to.
Back to the question... What happened to split view on email?!?!?

It's just annoying, he really spent some time on it.
Hopefully in an update.

So my i just dropped my iPad and now it won't start up. It just keeps turning on and off. Like the apple symbol shows up and then goes away? What happened and is there a way to fix it. I tried restoring and that didn't work

I pretty much stated it in my question. I dropped my iPad and now it won't boot itself up. The apple symbol shows up, then the screen turns all black and weird looking with a strange green color at the bottom, and just turns off. It keeps doing this over and over. What happened and is there a way to fix it? I also tried connecting it to itunes and that doesn't seem to be working. It detects an ipad but can't seem to read anything else. It tells me to try and restore it but I can't. HELP!!!

Try this. It worked for a few users after a drop.
Turn the iPad over and give it a very HARD slap on the back. May take several slaps.
 Cheers, Tom

Iphone 5c does not work rear camera (screen is black) and a flash light since yesterday. Maybe someone knows what happened.

Yesterday stopped working camera application turns on but the screen is black. It does not work too flashlight. It is gray in the control panel. Maybe somebody know what happened if I need to return my phone service warrants.

Hello szpryczek,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot issues with your iPhone camera, please follow the steps below.
Camera
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
If the issue persists after the previous steps, please click the link below to contact Apple Support.
Issue not resolved
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
