Ok I entered sudo chmod 664 * and everything was fine until the next time I turned on my computer. Now all settings have been restored to default and all my files and some programs are locked. Can’t seem to fix this…help please =(

interestingly, the blue tint problem on my mac pro went away once I deleted all the third party flash cookies installed on my hard drive, permanently. You can access flash cookie controls at link below. After this I installed Ghostery to block ad tracking in Firefox. Blue tint never happened again.

This is great, thanks. I thought my eyes were going bad because I usually notice it when coming back from lunch after having been out in the sunshine for a while!

Ctrl+Shift+Eject worked for me!

doing the whole terminal thing did not work and it said i was “not in the sudoers file. this incident will be reported.” .. so whats gonna happen now?
then i tried the ctrl+shift+eject trick, which also did not work. oh and going to the displays preference pane didnt fix the blue screen either.

any more ideas? thanks.

I used a simple shortcut to fix:
Ctrl + Shift + Eject

The screen will sleep, then move the mouse or press any key to wake again. The color becomes normal again.

Though I do look forward to Apple fixing this.
