Why is my iTunes screen white on black?

With the latest iTunes upgrade, the iTunes screen is viesing as white on black in most - but not all screens.
I've tried accessibility conrols but they weren't the problem. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app and the smae thing is happening. Here's a screen shot so you can see what I mean.
Any suggestions beofre I make a Genius Bar appointment?
Thanks!

I had the same problem and this resolved it for me. Apparently the black on white mode is called a "high contrast" mode or something like that. I'm not sure how it can accidentally be enabled but apparently it's not unheard of. All I did to fix it was type...
defaults write com.apple.iTunes high-contrast-mode-enable -bool FALSE
...into the terminal, close and restart iTunes...problem resolved!
Hope this fixes the problem!

  • Why is my 5s screen on in black and white?

    Why is my 5s screen only in black and white?

    Hello 2bblues,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    I'd like you to first check your Accessibility settings on the iPhone to ensure grayscale is not enabled.
    See the screen in grayscale. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility, then turn on Grayscale.
    Invert Colors and Grayscale
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • Why is my IPOD screen white?

    Why is my IPOD screen white? I have a 3rd generation Ipod nano.  When I toggle it on, the screen lights up, but is blank.  Is there a fix for this problem?  I have reset and reformatted my Ipod with no success.  After several on/off cycles it will usually return to a normal screen, but it is very time consuming.  My Ipod still works when the the screen goes bright white- I just can't see anything to adjust, etc.  Thanks for any info.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why is my home screen displayed in black for google vs white?

    My google home screen when I launch firefox is now black. It shows everything but the background is black vs white? How do I change it back?

    Hi pt1099,
    This isn't actually a Firefox issue specifically, it's a Google thing. Did it just start today? Are you talking about the SOPA protest?

    If not, it may just be a background preference for your Google homepage. You can click on change background in the lower left side of the screen.

  • Updated iTunes shows white on black page view

    Just updated iTunes recently and on first use all items on page are on black background. Sidebar is white text on black background. View options pop up shows the same. Can't really see any text on pop up screens. Icons hard to see too. Haven't found anywhere I could change this view. I've been on this pony before so its not new stuff I'm missing. Something got messed up. Can't restore previous version of iTunes from TM.
    ANY IDEAS?
    Thanks

    I have the exact same problem. I've restored multiple times on two different computers without any luck. This seems to be a brand new issue happening today as I have found multiple threads about this issue...

  • Iphone 4 screen white, then black

    Hello, I'm a new user on these boards. My iphone 4 had the screen replaced a few weeks ago, and it's been fine. today, the screen turned white, then got grainy lines in it and turned black. When I plugged it into my PC it shows up in iTunes, but I can see nothing on the screen. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi dipasqu,
    Based on your description of the issue and the recent repair, you may need to have your iPhone serviced again. You may find the following page helpful:

  • Why does my iPad screen suddenly go black?

    While using my iPad (original, wifi only) the screen will suddenly go black and my only recourse is to push the home button and start back there.  If I am in the midst of writing an email it is lost.
    Is there a cure for this malady?
    This occurs mostly in either email or the browser bcause these are the apps that I use 95% of the time.

    Might try posting in the MacBook Pro laptop forum. This is the Mac Pro desktop forum.

  • Why is Register software screen white, nothing opens or works?

    I never registered my software i always hit LATER now it wont open or even show the register your software screen tabs or words. It worked fine last week.
    A graphic artist I gave files to said some of my files were corrupt, I tried to open the files to see what he was talking about and I can not get past this blank white register your software screen to see whats is the matter, is this a sign that my photoshop files are corrupt?

    Here is the solution.
    Several posts on this from a couple of participants.
    This one from Curt Y:
    Disconect internet
    Start CS3
    Say never to error screen
    reconnect to internet
    Hopefully this should solve the issue:

  • My iTunes screen has turned black on my Mac.

    I am therefore unable to see what's selected.  Has anyone any ideas?  I've tried the universal access options but no luck.

    If you just upgraded to the new iTunes match it's a beta version still with plenty of bugs still left in the software.try restarting your computer and get back into iTunes and see what happens.if the problem persists then I would down grade the the last version of iTunes and that should take care of the problem.if you haven't upgraded there are a few worms and trojans viruses floating around in the Mac software recently and it could be and could be causing your problems.
