New MBP, but I can't get good color/contrast/density on my screen

I have the matte screen. I did the "expert" calibration, but my screen still looks too bright, contrasty, and cool (blue). I have a 2-year-old PowerBook G4 and the color on that looks normal. (I used expert calibration on that one, too.) Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Tommy, yeah this will sound silly, but try: System Prefenences > System > Universal Acess > Seeing; enhance contrast (on the fly.)
And you checked that your monitor is set to 1440 x 900 yah? That would be the "density" (109 dpi).

  • I just bought a new iPod and I have it set up the same as my other iPod but I can't get notification to show on the lock screen like my old one does. What can I do to fix this?

    Hi.
    What is the exact notification you are waiting? This could be possible that the device has already been opened once. Don't you think?

  • TS1369 I fractured the screen on my iPhone 4, 2+ years old and the latest when bought so I bought a new phone but I can not get my previous purchases to download to itunes that were there 2 weeks ago. Changed apple id once and now it shows up when downloa

    I bought a brand new iPhone 4 as soon as it came out which was 2010 I think.  No problems until two weeks ago.  I fractured the screen on it so I am slowly losiong some functions like charge, touch screen ability and need to activate my new iPhone but I am having trouble with iTunes showing my full song library. I have 554 plus songs but some that will not update or download,. Two weeks ago is when this all began.  I used to have a different apple ID but changed it after a few months for security reasons.  Now when I try to observe my itunes library it only shows the most recent songs I have purchased,35.  Not all, and there are still songs that it states it can not download because my computer is not authorized, I authorize it and it says it is already authorized.  Then it gives me the old apple ID from years ago and I change it back to my new one, but this only causes it to do it over and over.  I called apple and they said all kinds of mean things that my son or husband had been using my ID or account, of which is impossible because all purchases have to be password protected and I get warnings if anyone attempts to access.  Also, their ID's are not my old one.  Their libraries have none of my music. I do not home share but I thought that iTunes says you can use the music for households if you homeshare so I do not know why the person was so abusive but I am frustrated. So, any ideas?  I was instructed to install icloud and did and it seems to me to be the culprit so I bought the stupid iCloud sharing manage,$25 yearly so that it automatically downloads your full library but no luck, still only shows the purchases I recently made with my gift card.  This was suggested by the apple care expert.  Can not update my phone until backed up, can not change phones until updated and backed up.

    I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question.  Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing.  I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
    My playlists "ARE"  in my iphone 4s.  They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer. 
    When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes.  I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes:  Music, Movies, TV shows, books.  That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS"  but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone.  Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
    Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this.  I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer

  • Installed iTunes on new computer -- but I can't get the Library to fill

    I keep all of my music on an external hard drive. I got a new computer and downloaded iTunes 8.0.2.20. I used the external hard drive for iTunes on my old computer as well.
    But now I can't get iTunes to find or recognize any of the music on my external HD. I've changed the iTunes Music Folder Location to the external hard drive's music location. I've repeatedly tried to Consolidate my Library. My playlist names have reappeared, but my library and playlists are completely empty. (In fact, when I click on Library, all I get is a blank black screen in iTunes.)
    Any ideas how to get iTunes to recognize my music on my external HD?

    What drive letter was the exHD on your old PC?
    What drive letter is the exHD on the new PC?
    Make sure they're the same.

    And, did you put your old PC's copy of the *itunes library.itl* file on the exHD after you consolidated everything to it?
    Press and hold the shift key while starting itunes, and choose the ITL file on the exHD.

  • HT1338 I just purchased a used MacBook that is running Mac os X 10.6.8. Many of the things I try to download need newer software, but I can't get it to download. Is there anything I can do?

    I just purchase a used MacBook. It is running os 10.6.8. Is there anyway I can upgrade to Lion?

    You can upgrade to ML directly from SL. Why do you want Lion? ML=$19.99, Lion=$29.99 (or something like that if I'm not mistaken) but that was when Lion was on the Mac App Store (MAS). Unless you had purchased Lion previously, you won't find it on the MAS. Now, Lion may be available only at  Retail Stores on USB (which would probably be more than $30) or you might have to talk to someone at their online store (some of the posters in the forum have said they were able to order it at the online store-not sure if they got it though)

  • Activated my new 5s but I can't get it to connect to iTunes. My computer recognizes it but iTunes will not

    I've tried just about every thread on here and nothing works. I use windows 8.

    See this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    If this does not work, you will need to remove iTunes completely by the instructions in this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 and then reinstall it. Try the first one I supplied first.

  • I have followed the topics for setting up Sync so I can share/copy bookmarks on my new computer, but I can't get it to work.

    The more I search for solutions with this just links me back to the original help topic "Setting Up Sync"

    To build on the second option provided by The Edmeister make sure that you have your Sync Key, if this is not the case Firefox Sync will not help you (data is encrypted with that Key).
    Finally, if the last sync happened long time ago, it may be the case that your data is not on the servers anymore. Firefox Syn wasn't designed as a back up service.

  • HT201269 My new iPhone 5c accepted the restore to transfer all new info, but I can't get the phone to work as a phone.

    Odd forum, the title is my question.

    And then you should use the body of the post to provide pertinent information.  There is none here, so far.

  • A iPhone 4S (currently in possession of it) was dropped into the ocean and we can get it into DFU and recovery mode, but we can't get it to go to the lock screen or home screen the phone just gets stuck on the apple symbol, how can I fix this?

    Hey, apparently this iPhone 4S was dropped into the ocean and the light for the camera and a light where the 3G/4G bar is are both glowing. The iPhone 4S, I assume, was on iOS 5.1.1 I need help getting off info from it WITHOUT RESTORING IT. I'm not sure if Apple has any third party apps that they are allowed to suggest to us or if I'm on my own on this one, but if you guys can help I would greatly apperciate it.
    Thanks!

    Those are definitely features of liquid damage. First step after completely drying the iPhone would be battery replacement. The camera circuitry and proximity sensor circuitry are surging because you are seeing these lights.
    New battery may get this booted back up so you can recover data, or even get the iPhone working again.

  • I've entered my fingerprint into my new 5S, but I can't seem to get it to work.  It keeps asking for my passcode.  How do I switch from passcode to fingerprint?

    I've succssefully entered my fingerprint into my new 5S, but I can't get the phone to "accept" it; it keeps asking for my passcode.  When I put my finger on the Home button, it does nothing.  How do I switch from passcode to fingerprint?
    Many thanks.

    Make sure you have set Settings > General > Passcode & Fingerprint > Fingerprints > Passcode Unlock = "On".
    If you like, also set Settings > General > Passcode & Fingerprint > Fingerprints > iTunes & App Store = "On".

  • HT1420 My old computer crashed so I bought this new one. I can't get my prevouis purchases and my new purchases will not let me add to my IPODs. I deauthorized all computers and just authourzed ths one. my new one. How do I get my music back and how do I

    My old computer crashed andI bought a new one. When I went to Itunes I deauthorized all computers and then authorized my new one but I can not get my prevous purchases and I can not add my new purchases to my IPods with out it deleting all the music. How can I transfer everything that was on the old computer to this new one?

    Whether you can redownload previous purchases depends upon the type of item (audiobooks and ringtones are one-time only downloads), what country that you are in (music, films, TV shows can't be redownloaded in all countries), and whether the item is still in your country's store (content providers occasionally remove their items) - what you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage
    Or you should be able to copy purchases back from your iPod via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option (if the drop-down menus aren't showing then control-B should get them to show).
    If you have music from other sources on your iPod (e.g. copied from CDs) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Or do you have a copy of them anywhere else e.g. on your backup of your downloads/library that you can copy them onto your new computer from ?

    My phone broke , I have recently got a new replacement but how can I get my photos from the old to the new phone

    Did you have the old phone backed up? If not, then you don't. If so, you restore the backup of the old phone to the new one.

  • Can't get "Edit Colors" to work in Illustrator CC

    Hi. My boss just added Illustrator CC to my mac.
    I'm not sure why, but I can't get "Edit Colors" to work in Illustrator CC.
    When I select an object and try to reassign colors in the "Edit Colors" menu, the submenus are greyed out.
    It works fine on Illustrator CS5, so I'm not sure what the problem is in CC.
    Is this a bug or just a limitation of the CC trial period?
    Can anyone please help with this?

    OK, so Trial Period isn't the problem? Thanks for that info.
    I'm working with customer supplied files and often have to reassign colors to artwork for different projects.
    I can assign colors with the color panel, but complex designs containing multiple pieces and layers can take for-ev-er to reassign colors that way.
    Like I said, "edit colors" works fine in CS5, so I'm trying to figure out why it's not working in CC.
    Appreciate any help the forum members can provide.

  • HT203180 I am a new user. I have created iPad versions of videos, but I can't get them to synch from my iMac to my IPad

    I am a new user. I have created iPad versions of videos, but I can't get them to synch from my iMac to my IPad. I have consulted the Help section, but the videos do not appear in the iTunes library as movies.

    Pad2, the new iPad Supported Video Formats & Movie Formats
    H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit to import the videos.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
