Still can't calibrate 2nd monitor after 10.7.2 update

Does anyone have any information on this?
I've had a rendered useless second screen sitting on my desk for the last 2 months waiting for the 10.7.2 update to fix this bug... and nothing??
This problem has completely ruined my workflow as a photographer because I use to use the left hand screen to retouch on at 100%. Now its pratically useless because it can't be calibrated.
When you open display preferences, and click the colour tab, if you click the profiles on the right screen, it changes the right screens colour. If you click the left screens profiles, it changes the right screens profile, and does nothing to the left.
I also calibrate my screens with Spyder3 Elite, but I've updated the software to 4.0.3 Beta which is suppose to be Lion friendly, which leads me to belive this bug is still a result of Lion.
I can't belive that Apple, whos software is heavily used by photographers, designers and retouchers to work on, hasn't addressed this bug in 3 updates??
My workstation is now screwed, as nothing is setup to use the right screen for viewing other then my photoshop toolbars etc.
Or is this one of Apples latest "we don't think you need this" features they've installed?
I'm well and truely over it.

Well, I was wrong.  I decided to look again, and this time I managed to find the WD software, and removing it does seem to have fixed the backup problem for me.
Anyone else with the same problem needs to review this posting: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17457987#17457987#17457987

  • Lost video on 2nd monitor after 10.10.3 update

    Howdy.  Upgraded my main mac pro to Yosemite 10.10.3 this morning and find that video on a 2nd monitor (verified good) has gone away.  It seems to be a driver issue.  This is with a Radeon 5770.  It is still driving my main monitor without any problem, however, the 2nd is not getting signal and does not show in system profiler.
    The monitor and cable/adapter chain has been checked and verified all the way to the card.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Eric.
    Thanks for providing the easily accessible link with standard OP information.  I have reset PRAM and undergone all other hardware and software checks.  There is nothing wrong with the cabling, card, or monitor.
    I can boot into earlier versions of the OS, going back to 10.5.  ALL except for 10.10.3 produce NTSC video on my Radeon 5770 as a 2nd monitor.  Something about the 10.10.3 update broke the 2nd display.  The problem is specific to 10.10.3 and no other versions of the OS.
    I suspect a bug was introduced regarding multiple-display setups (I have 3) with 10.10.3, OR the feature set for multiple displays was changed without notice.  However, I can't seem to find a way to connect to apple support to investigate the issue without paying a service fee for the privilege.  I was really hoping I could get some actual insight into the issue, as I'm familiar with all standard troubleshooting and software issues.  I have, after all, but using Macs since 1987...
    Cheers.

  • Can't calibrate my monitor

    After a reinstall, I noticed the screen looks a little different, a little flat. I went to the monitor part of System Preferences, and in trying to calibrate the colour of the display there are only 3 choices - Adobe RGB (1998), Generic RGB Profile and sRGB IEC61966-2.1
    But when I try and calibrate any of these displays, I get the message "Can not calibrate the display. The factory profile for the display could not be found".
    Also, when I use Safari it often asks for fonts, or in Pages, saying a font "American Typewriter" for instance, is missing.
    Are these connected, and can anyone help.
    Thanks

    You may want to go ahead and do an archive and install, however someone may have a better answer than mine.

  • Still frame on out put monitor after seq sent from color

    Hi, I am sending back to fcp from color and then I render in fcp but the file will play on desktop fine but not out to monitor as it did before going to color, why is this dose color change the format I have check and the format is the same and the seq setting.
    2nd question I have some clips I would like to change in a sent seq from color to fcp can I just replac then in the time line and send to editor , what is the best work flow , thanks in advance for any help.
    using a aja LH card.

    Color only renders into certain codecs so there is a good chance that the codec you sent to Color from final cut is different than the one Color rendered into. For example, if you send HDV to Color you will either get back ProRes or Uncompressed. If you have you FCP setup for HDV and you try and play back a ProRes or Uncompressed timeline you will only see still images in your broadcast monitor.
    For your second question, assuming I understand you correctly, I would make a new sequence in FCP that only contains the new shots and send that sequence to Color.

  • HP ENVY 700-210xt CTO Desktop PC/windows 8.1: can't display 2nd monitor

    Detail information:
    -  HP ENVY 700-210XT CTO Desctop PC
    -  One VGA port and one DVI-D port (used DVI-D to DVI-D cable to connect to second monitor)
    -  video card is a buildin card on motherboard
    -  Two monitors: AOC 10X16, Acer 12X15 (with both VGA and DVI-D ports)  and both working perfectly if connected to computer thru VGA cable.
    -  When start computer, both monitors showing 'HP' and circle of stars to indicate Window is starting (so I think DVI-D connection and is fine).
    -  Then second (DVI-D) monitor shows no signal and VGA monitor continues and everything is fine.
    -  If I go to Devices/Project/Second screen and choose any of the options: Duplicate/ExtendSecond screen only, nothing shows.  After awhile, system says can't find second monitor.
    Questions:
    1) if it is OK to use two different kinds/sizes of monitors?
    2) what else I can do to make the computer to use the DVI-D monitor?
    Thanks,
    Ning

    Hi,
    If you can't see the basic HP UEFI boot menu information with a DVI connection then you have a hardware issue. It's either your monitors or DVI cable or the DVI port on your PC. It's definitely not a software issue as digital drivers don't get loaded until later in the Windows boot process.
    Test the monitors and the DVI cable on another PC to ensure that they work correctly.  Alternatively, try a different DVI cable and monitor on your PC.

  • Can't get 2nd Monitor to Work

    I have a MacBook Pro 2.16 Core Duo. I also have a Dell LCD display, about 3 years old. I can connect the Dell monitor with a DVI cable, but the MacBook doesn't sense it.
    My only clue is that on the MacBook, there are four pins right by the horizontal "blade" pin in the DVI output, but the Dell monitor, which is also DVI, does not have inputs for those four pins. I notice that some DVI cables have those four pins, and some don't.
    Help!

    Thanks for the help. I now understand DVI better, but that didn't solve teh issue.
    I took my Mac and Dell monitor to the genius bar today. They confirmed that my Mac external port supports other monitors, but not this one. We plugged another Mac into the monitor and still nothing. SO either the Dell LCD monitor is not compatible with Mac, or there is some keystroke that must be made to sense the Dell that I haven't figured out. Was on the phone with Dell also - they suggested command-F2, but that didn't do anything.

  • Why do I lose my desktop picture on external (2nd) monitor after going to sleep?

    Sometimes, (not always) my 2nd monitor will not have a background picture - only gray - after waking up from sleep mode. Even going to System Prefs and selecting different picture, it will only stay gray. All other items that I drag to it or that were there when it went to sleep are fine, just the background picture is the problem. After restart, everything is OK.

  • Wrt600n still can't login to router after factory reset

    Ok, so I reset the router but i still can't login to the setup using the factory password (admin/admin) (blank/admin) (admin/blank).   Now I have an unencrypted network and no access to the setup... I even tried using the setup CD but it doesn't recognize the router.   Anyone have this problem or know of a possible fix?
    thanks, Carl 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Its a very common problem. Generally peoples push reset button 10-15 sec for reset that it not good enough to return your router to factory setting. So hold the Cisoc Linksys wrt600n reset button this time at least 30-40 second. And try now for a new setting.
     I hope, it helps.
     Thanks,

  • Can't load pdf files after 10.4.11 update

    Since installing the 4.10.11 update I can't read any more the pdf files downloaded in Safari 3 as the page turns completely gray (I can read pdf files only after downloading them to the desktop). I have browsed the 4.10.11 troubles and answers hoping to find a cue, but nothing of the like seems to have happened yet...
    Is there something that I can do ?
    Thank you for any help !

    Have got exactly the same problem with Safari, but fine using Internet Explorer. Had a quick look on Adobe's update page - seems they only go up to 10.4.10... that may be problem???

  • Calibrate 2nd monitor for coloring

    I have a 23inch older apple cinema display and ive calibrated it with a spyder2express but It does not seem to always be consistent. I don't need a professional setup I just want a roughly calibrated consistent monitor that i can trust is the same. This project will mostly be on blu Ray and DVDs. I was wondering if maybe since the apple monitor is older that it may have issues with consistency? After it warms up or anything. Would I be better with a LCD tv as a reference monitor that I calibrate with the spyder since it's where the final project will be seen? Or a newer HD monitor? I know some of the non apples are getting cheaper.
    Any input? Thanks

    A search of this forum will reveal a large number of threads, the gist of which reduce to:
    The Spyder2Express is a calibration tool for photographers consequently not appropriate for use in video and the Apple Cinema Display is one of the worst possible solutions for grading digital media. Old ones worse so, but you already know that, but this is pretty much universally true of all graphics displays.
    COLOR is tailored for broadcast use with CCIR709 guidelines as its preset, and unchangeable, output standard for Quicktime workflows. Unless you are working under Snow Leopard you will experience gamma consistency problems between COLOR and all the other Final Cut Studio applications. There are innumerable threads covering that issue.
    You will likely not be able to calibrate a regular LCD monitor with the Spyder since it cannot operate at the low levels generated at broadcast standard biases. In other words it will not be able to do a "black balance", and it is unlikely that you will be able to set your monitor to the recommended brightness used by broadcasters, so a "white balance" is probably out of reach as well. Nearly all consumer "TVs" employ "dynamic contrast" to sweeten distributed media, so they are disqualified for professional use.

  • IMac i7 how can i calibrate my monitor/colors before taking to photo printer

    is there anything in my applications that calibrates the colors on my monitor so what i see is what i get at the photo printer.  have Final cut/DVDstudio pkg, aperture, photoshop.  i sounds like i need a 3rd party software application?  any brand suggestion for mac.  a shop suggested ___monkey?  spy__?

    A color-calibrated workflow requires time and money to set up and maintain.  There is a good bit of excellent information available on the Web -- the site Northlight Images has much to offer.
    See also this post (among many -- search here and elsewhere for "color calibration", "X-Rite ColorMunki", etc.)

  • Can't use 2nd monitor for Desktop Video - DisplayPort issue?

    I just got my Mac Pro 8 core (2009). I have two monitors connected to it. Anything that happens on the second monitor(connected to the DisplayPort via a DisplayPort to DVI adapter) is choppy. I can't even move or reposition windows smoothly.
    Additionally, Final Cut Pro will not let me use the second monitor to play my video out as I could with my previous mac pro (2008) which had two DVD ports.
    What's up with this DisplayPort causing these issues?
