Why is the text GRAY on a WHITE background?

This Community isn't an exact fit, but by process of elimination, it's where I was allowed. Whether the description of an app is on an iPhone or an iPad, and whether your viewing an app description either in the App Store or in the "What's New" section of an App Update, why is the descriptive text gray? It is very difficult to read on the white background. It would be much easier to read if the text were black. Can I have a witness?

You can comment to Apple on the matter here, if you wish:

Why is the text not the visible in the protected PDF opened on Mac?

Long story short:
I've created a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and saved it as PDF. With the .pdf open now in Acrobat Reader 9.4.1 I have enabled the protection over the .pdf file by only allowing Printing and saved the protected .pdf. All of these actions are made on Windows 7 machine. Now when trying to open the protected .pdf on Mac (with Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and Preview) the .pdf opened only shows the lines and bullets but not the text.
Why is the text not visible in the protected PDF opened on Mac?
(is this bug or a "feature"?)
Note: the protected .pdf looks good on Windows 7 and it works on Mac if the .pdf has no protection.
Thanks!

A. What application are you using to add the protection? Reader cannot add any file security and I don't think the PDF feature of Word will either.
B. Mac Preview has issues with PDF standards so there may be some features that you will experience issues with that have no workarounds.
C. Have you checked the file after adding security to see if all fonts are embedded?

Are you sending the texts to his phone number or his Apple ID? It might be that the texts originated from your phone is to his Apple ID and not his phone number and his Apple ID was not registered for the Message app on his phone. So any texts to his Apple ID is not received by his phone.
Can you receive his texts? If yes, then reply back from what he send you and see if he can receive the texts.

Why is the text garbled when I convert a pdf file to microsoft word ?

Why is the text garbled when I convert a pdf file to microsoft word ?

Hi amedah,
Could you please try converting any other PDF file with same fonts and then check.
It might also happen due to use of some poor fonts which result in garbled text.
Is the PDF scanned?
Let me know.

Not necessarily an iPhone but rather if they have iMessage support at the address you're using.
If you're using an email address they could have an iOS device or a Mac.

Why is the text so small in the log in screen?

I am visually-impaired. Why is the text so small in the log in screen?

You can try to set the display resolution to something like 1024x768 (from the "Best for display") in the "Displays" System Preferences - this will "enlarge" things on the login screen as well as after, (the trick about using the Option key to zoom does not work on the login screen), and then after logging in, reset the Display resolution back to "Best for display".
To use the "Option" key for zooming -- set in the "Accessibility" System Preference Zoom options "Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom" to Option.
Not sure, but you might also be able to affect this by changing the default system font. If the above doesn't help, say so and will do a bit more research to see how to change this and see if it also applies to the login screen
Good luck...

When I open a new document in Pages, the text I type is white on a white background even though the default color is black. Can someone help?

When I open a new document in Pages, the text I type appears white instead of the default black color. I can highlight the text, once I find it, but it will not change to anything other than a light purple.

Those are the symptoms many users ran into with an early update to Snow Leopard that never was fixed in the updates available through Software Update & not having the iWork apps updated. The problem was not whether or not your system is the current version but how it got there. You must use the combo updater, not the one from Software Update unless it specifically states it is the combo. Software Update will only offer the combo if your system is two or more versions behind. Now that you're running Lion, this generally isn't a problem.
But making sure the iWork apps are updated is essential. If you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

Iphone 5 - why is the phone# 'grayed'...

iphone 5 - why is the phone# grayed in imessage under "You can be reached...'?

Because there is no reason for it not to be grayed out.
iPhone automatically registers your phone number for use with FaceTime and iMessage during activation.
You can also add an email address to be reached at via iMessage in addition to your phone number, but you can't remove the phone number for this with an iPhone.

I udate my os to 10.6.7 and since then my Pages have color problems. The text is not visible (white on white background) it does'nt help to change the text color nor background color. Pls help

I udate my os to 10.6.7 and since then my Pages have color problems. The text is not visible (white on white background) it does'nt help to change the text color nor background color. I just download the recent trail version of Iworks and install it. The first document I opened it was ok. When I open the second one the problem appear again and stayed. Pls help

This behavior was described many times.
In every occurrence,the operating system was an uncompleted one resulting of the use of Software Update to update the operating system to 10.6.2, 10.6.3, 10.6.4, 10.6.5, 10.6.6, 10.6.7.
In such cases, the solace was to apply a combo updater.
As you are using 10.6.7, download and apply the combo 10.6.7 :

After that, run Software Update which will urge you to apply :

jpg and pdf formats don't support transparency. You need to use a format such as tif, png or psd that does.

"Unlike". iOS 7 doesnt display well on my 4S. iOS 6.1.3 should still be supported for older hardware. I think I shall me moving to Samsung Galaxy now. Was really hoping hte new iphone would get a bit larger.

Why is the History Brush only painting white on my picture instead of the colors from my text file?

I am working on a project for my online class and am having difficulties with the History Brush. Note that both files are identical in size etc.
1. I created a color text file and saved it with a specific name.
2. I copied an existing photo from iPhoto, as I couldn't import into PhotoShop, and pasted it in a new file. I then removed the white background layer and then saved it with its now specific name and closed the file.
3. I re-opened the Color Text File.
4. I then re-opended my photo.
5. I performed a "Select All" from the menu bar of my active Photo then selected Edit - Copy and then closed my Photo file.
6. From my Color Text File I selected Edit and then Paste from the menu bar.
7. I selected Layer and Flatten Image from the menu bar.
8. I right clicked the background image from the Layers Panel and created a snapshot (which is my photo)
9. I selected the History brush and verified that this also displayed in the gray box associated with the Color Text file within the History Panel.
10. I verified that my photo image was displayed in my work area.
11. I start to fill the photo with my History Brush and the only color I get is White.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

You seem to think that a History State equals a Layer. That couldn't be farther from the truth.

…We are then suppose to click the History brush from the Tools Panel and verify that the little box next to the Tie-Dye image is selected and displays the History Brush. Now the document area should display the photo, at this point we are suppose to paint the photo with 1 stroke. The painted colors would be that from the Tie-Dye image…
That's not clearly phrased, but it sounds totally wrong. Again, a History State will not just show you what you just pasted, but your entire image, with ALL its layers.
Normally, to use the History Brush one goes back one step in the History Panel AFTER you have created your snapshot, so that you'll be selectively applying the changes to your image as it was before the filter. Here's an example:
You've finished editing an image. Fine. Now you apply an Unsharp Mask filter (to the whole image, of course) and immediately create your Snapshot.
Now you step back in the History Panel to the state BEFORE you applied the sharpening. You make sure your History Brush is targeting the sharpened Snapshot, but you start painting on the History State BEFORE you applied the sharpening.
Now you can start applying selective sharpening with your History Brush in whatever blending mode you wish. For selective sharpening, the History Brush in Luminosity blending mode gives you fantastic results.
Just remember: History States are not like layers at all.
In my opinion that's a lousy instructor who would make you use the Clipboard to illustrate the use of the History Brush. … but that's just me.
