The more information you give us in your post the more likely you are to get a useful answer. Based on your 6 word description it sounds like either you have some empty ink cartridges, your other ink cartridges are not seated properly or you have not removed the foil from the other ink cartridges before installing them. Check the ink cartridges and if all seems to be as it should be try cleaning the heads, if this doesn't help post back with more information.

My parents have the Canon MP830 printer. All the ink cartridges are in correctly but I cannot get it to print yellow & blue. I did a test print & cleaned the nozzle then did another test print...

Inkjet printers need to be used frequently to prevent inkdrying out in the print head nozzles.
If the print head cleaning maintenance routine does not clear the blockages,then print head needs replacing, but it may be expensive.
It may be more cost effective to buy a later model and better printer thanreplace the print head.

When printing photos, the colors seems off. My yellows turn pinkish, blues turn purple, yellows turn white, greens turn blue and no sign of black except for stripes, what could it be..?

You are printing a pictures that was made in RGB mode (red green blue). You need to convert this picture to CMYK which is how printers print.

Doesn't print out pictures from the computer or

change your usb cable as sometimes they can stretch and cause electrical noise causing CQ issue, also check if there is rendering in printer properties (ie, presentation, photographic, rgb, etc.)
