23" Cinema HD bleached Leopard display

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5811069&#5811069
Hello, does anyone running Leopard with ACD have the "bleaching" anomaly described in the above post? I'm trying to eliminate hardware from software issues. Thanks.

To eliminate hardware from software issues, you could boot from the Leopard DVD and see if the problem also shows in the installer interface. In this case, it's likely an hardware problem.
You could also try to change your colour profile or create another user account ...

Mac Pro Snow Leopard Display will Sleep but Computer will not Sleep

Equipment:
Mac Pro Tower
Snow Leopard 10.6.8
30" Cinema Display
The computer has not been able to fully go to sleep since I bought it. (A refurb, but not from Apple's refurb store.)
As the title says, the display goes to sleep but the computer is still on. (Whether I select Sleep from the Apple menu, or with a keystroke.)
"Wake for network access" is not checked in the System Prefs.
I've disconected everything (inc. the monitor) from the back of the computer and the computer still won't go to sleep.
Reset PRAM and the "System Controller (the move where you power down, unplug the computer, press/hold the powder button for 5 seconds, plug in computer and start up).
I installed the PleaseSleep and the DeepSleep apps, but still no-sleep.
From Console, for the Sleep command:
11/6/12 4:51:32 PM
configd[15]
Sleep: Success - AC - Software Sleep
com.apple.message.domain: com.apple.powermanagement.sleep
com.apple.message.signature: Success
com.apple.message.value: 1
com.apple.message.result: Success
com.apple.message.uuid: A3270153-6D75-4639-8125-3B105B537BCB
Then from when I touched the keyboard to "wake":
11/6/12 4:51:32 PM
configd[15]
Wake: Success - AC
com.apple.message.domain: com.apple.powermanagement.wake
com.apple.message.signature: Success

Snow Leopard: Display settings not working anymore. DO NOT LOCALIZE

Hello,
the following message was posted in the MacBook Pro Display forums and i was suggested to write it here:
I purchased a MacBox Set and upgraded from Tiger on a MacBook Pro 15" (2007). I did a clean install. That was two weeks ago.
Today i went into System Preferences>Displays (not my first time there) and a window oppened by itself saying that the display setting was about to be changed and maybe certain software would not be showed properly in a resolution below 800X600 (sorry, that's my translation. I use a Spanish SO).
After that, the resolution changed to 640X480 and the Display panel became useless. It's impossible to set any other resolution and on the refresh settins apears that message: <<do not localize>>. Under the Resolutions Field appears <<<DO NOT LOCALIZE>>> as well.
I tryed:
* Repair disk Permissions
* Reset PRAM
* Reset PMU
* I did a hardware test (the long one). No problems found.
I was not able to use the system disks (the ones that came with my computer) because the image on the screen appears completly distorted and i am not able to navigate through the menus. I was able to use Hardware Test because the buttons where showed in the middle of the screen.
I tryed to use the Snow Leopard DVD, but the part of the welcome window in wich the buttons are was out of the screen and i had no chance to click on them.
I have temporarily fixed that using a ten days trial version of SwitchRes X. Everything works fine now, but the Display preferences panel from MacOs stays "in coma". So i guess it's not a hardware problem, but a Snow Leopard Problem. If in ten days i don't find a fix for that, i'm gonna be forced to buy the program, a really good software, i have to say, but a software i shoulnd't need.
After been able to recover my original resolution via SwitchRes X, I checked the disk and it was ok. I repaired it anyway. Back to my desktop, i checked the permisions and everything was fine except for this message:
"Advertencia: el archivo SUID “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgen t” se ha modificado y no se reparará."
I got this message since the first time i checked permissions and its well know by other users. It is supposed to be normal.
Anyway, it didn't worked.
I'll appreciate any help. Thanks!

Quicktime Pro 7 on Snow Leopard displays black with uncompressed Quicktime

Hi, I have searched these discussions but with no luck so far. Any help will be greatly appreciated but I have the feeling there may be no solution to my problem. Perhaps the new 64 Bit Quicktime 7 is missing the codecs I need.
For more than five years I have been exporting uncompressed Quicktimes from an online workstation (Autodesk Flame) to my G5 to make small quicktimes to email clients to see work in progress, or to make file sequences for upload and also to make DVDs fro client presentations outside my online suite. I would export an uncompressed Quicktimes of, (for instance), a 30" TV Commercials (of around 1GB) from my online workstation fro my Mac to deal with. This week I changed my five year old G5 for a Snow Leopard Mac Mini. My Quicktime 7 Pro license transferred fine, but it seems to me Quicktime 7 is working quite differently and iDVD also. When I open an uncompressed quicktime created from my online workstation the video is Black , but I can hear the audio. It still allows me to make a small H264 quicktime but I can't export file sequences correctly. The frames created are black. iDVD also creates black DVDs but with sound. BTW I have the same problem if I export an uncompressed AVI from Flame.
I thought it might be hardware limitation of the Mac-mini, but some simple tests indicate that's not the case. From my online machine I can export an uncompressed Targa file sequence of the Commercial and an uncompressed wav sound file instead of an uncompressed Quicktime. I can then use Quicktime 7 to put them together make an uncompresses quicktime from the Targa sequences combined with audio and it displays the video fine and I can do whatever I want with it, but it takes time to create. This uncompressed quicktime file is around the same size 1GB as the uncompressed movie file that I am trying to get Quicktime 7 to display, that I normally export from Flame. (And BTW the Mac Mini renders quicktimes nearly three times faster than my 2004 G5 and can play back the 1GB uncompressesd file it made with hardly a glitch, The G5 would choke if i tried to play an uncompressed movie).
This kind of uncompressed Quicktime that I can make from Targa files using Quicktime 7 Pro seem to be exactly the same as the uncompressed Quicktimes my Autodesk Flame exports. In the properties window the video codec is "None, 720 x 576 Millions+" in both cases, and it is of course a .mov. So why the difference? My big problem is that the uncompressed quicktimes exported from Flame are not able to be handled as well by my Mac as before. I know I can export file sequences with a separate audio files and put them together in Quicktime but when I am working on a commercial I might want to do this 20 times a day. Exporting an uncompressed file with audio is much less hassle. I would just drop it in iDVD and make a DVD or get Quicktime to re-encode it for email. My Post Production clients pay me to work on the online workstation and I don't want to spend extra time on my Mac-mini. I was hoping to spend less....
I hope I have been clear enough explaining my problem. Thanks very much for any tips.
Regards,
Harold

Hi there,
I can confirm that this seems to be a bug in Quicktime where it tries to multiply the alpha channel against the contents of your movie file.
I had a bunch of Apple Animation quicktimes that are suddenly playing back as all black. I opened one of these movies in Shake and noticed that it had an all black alpha channel. So, as an experiment, I added an ellipse as an alpha channel (making sure it was not pre-multiplied against the image) and wrote this movie out as an Apple Animation. Sure enough, quicktime would now play back an image where the contents were only visible inside the the ellipse. I.e. it is multiplying the image by the alpha channel.
So, the issue is that quicktime multiplies the alpha channel against the contents of the movie.
The workaround is to re-encode your movies with solid white alpha channels (I have been unable to write out an Apple Animation movie without any alpha channel at all). Most likely you don't care what is in your alpha channel (the Apple Animation codec seems to add it whether you actively request it or not), but if you do, then I don't know how to get around this problem.
Also... what a pain. I don't really relish re-encoding all of my quicktimes. I will also file a bug (or piggy back on the one already filed). Hopefully we can get this fixed soon.

30" Cinema and 24" IMac displays won't display the same color

I have a 30" Cinema Display on my Mac Pro and I am using a 24" iMac. I calibrated both monitors with Eye-one-Match3. I am using the same color profiles in Corel Painter and Photoshop and I am still getting different color values in my file. On the iMac the colors seem a bit darker and more saturated than on my Apple Cinema Display. How can that be?
Any help would be appreciated

Sounds like a video card issue.

1x cinema and 1x thunderbolt display on bootcamp

Hi there,
as I couldn't find any useful information yet, I'll try my luck here.
Here's my setup:
1x Cinema HD display (23") connected with an DVI to Mini-Hdmi cable to a Belkin Thunderbolt Express Dock, which is connected with my thunderbolt display. The TB display is connected to my Macbook pro 8.1 (graphic card: Intel HD 3000).
Now when I boot with MacOS, there's no particular issue, both external display light up, meanwhile the internal Macbook displays stays black, I suppose that's normal.
On the other hand, if I boot with Windows on bootcamp, the cinema display (beeing at the end of the daisy chain), is recognized in the device manager but I can't manage to get an image. In the Intel control panel it's not detected at all. USB sticks or external drives connected to the screen are recongnized without any problem, the only thing that's not passing through is the image signal. I tried this with several drivers and with Windwos 7 and Windows 8, but coulnd't find a possibility yet.
Is there anyone having the same issue?
cheers,
ginster

is no one having the same issue? Can anyone confirm that it is working for him? Personally I think it's a driver issue, but apart from the latest avaible Intel drivers I don't find any other alternative drivers.

Lion - Snow Leopard display difference

Reset PRAM and see if that helps.

Snow leopard display and freezing

I reformatted my imac yesterday and ever since then, i am having problems with my imac freezing as well as display issues.....funny lines across my screen. at first it was when ever i used firefox, but now its even on my desktop. anyone know if there is a known issue? and how to solve it?
imac 4,1
snow leopard 10.6.8

HP is clearly the one's at fault here as they supply the pdftopdf process that got so out of hand. Some more information here for anyone that finds this thread:

Marked as resolved. Thanks.

Snow Leopard Display Issues on Waking

My macbook pro developed a display issue after the upgrade to Snow Leopard. When I wake the computer from sleep, particularly if I've plugged/unplugged an external monitor while it was asleep, the display will show vertical lines and/or flutter from side to side (only the internal display.)
I'm able to resolve this by putting the computer back to sleep. Wake it again, and all is fine.
I have the 15" Core Duo with ATI Radeon X1600.
Although there are some similarities, this seems to be distinct from the issue described in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1697470&tstart=0
since it's unrelated to heat - it happens even with a cold computer that's been sleeping overnight, and the display anomalies are also different.
I did not have any issue using Leopard, then this problem started immediately after upgrading to Snow Leopard (as in, after the first time I put it to sleep.)

I use Ethernet so I cannot comment but have you tried trashing the airport pref.plist and removed the preferred networks in the network set up in System Preferences and then set up the wifi connection again?
This seems to help with a lot of airport problems on this forum.

After we installed a new airport extreme, the imac running snow leopard displays black box msgs saying to hold down the power button and or the reset button and then restart your computer. Can anyone provide info that can help resolve this issue?

Experiencing similar issues on both imac and power book: after replacing an original airport extreme with a new airport extreme both computers display a black box msgs that reads: "...turn off your computer by holding down the power button and or the reset button for a few seconds and then restart your computer."...
one of the printers are usb'd to the imac. The printer is not "seeing" the imac nor will it print wireless from the powerbook which was the norm prior to the upgrade on the airport extreme.
Upon restart, the imac does not "see" the wireless keyboard or the mouse until it is "found" again.
At this time the imac or the powerbook can get on line.

It sounds like your computer is getting Kernel Panics. Please look at About "You need to restart your computer" (kernel panic) messages and if the message seen on your display is like the one in the link then you have confirmed you had a KP. KP's can be tough to track down because they can be caused by software or hardware. The first place to start is to post the complete crash log so we can look at it, often there are clues in the log. You can find it at:

OS X Snow Leopard Display Driver BUG (Apple should be doing something...)

Many of you are having problems conecting your Flat-Panel Monitor to the Mac Mini (2010), the picture wont fit the screen at max resolution, and if you use underscan option the text bleeds and the quality is very bad.
*_But if you install Windows using BootCamp the Flat-Screen Monitor works flawlessly_.*
Its unbelievable that Apple still cant make their display driver work fine...
and there is no way to report this bug that its afecting all users that are not using their mac mini with a TV
do you know a way to report this issue to Apple?

Hello-Not Sure About the MBP Leopard Settings for the Display

I want to get a new MBP for my next step. I was also wanting th one-on-one but my bud has not had much expereince (good) with this. I think he and I need the persnal training? Is that the same as one-on-one?
<edited by host> I was wondering about the new display and how good it looks but is it a look that that is conducive to using other programs. It appears to be soo glossy and if you are not looking head on you miss a lot. Is this new display popular? Can it be changed so other programs can take front and center when you need them t and not the Leopard display all the time.
any feedback, helpful <edited by host>. I hope tis makes some sense.

If I were in your position I'd wait until the last possible moment. Vastly faster MBPs are coming (the much discussed Merom chip), possibly by the start of the school season, but absolutely by Oct/Nov. I would not buy now. The current MBP is just the beginning, and in two years it will really be showing it's age.
17" seems right for you considering your major, but keep in mind the 17" can be a PITA to schelp around.
If you will be going to a large school they might offer better deals than the online Apple Edu store, so be sure to check before buying.
The issues you see posted here are not typical. There are a large number of people that do have problems, but there is an even larger universe of owners that have no problems.

External display flickers for a fraction of a second

Hello all,
Im using a macbook pro 15 with the new invidia 8600m graphics, hooked up to a cinema hd 30 inch display at home and a HP 30 inch display at work.
At times, maybe twice an hour, my external display will flicker for a fraction of a second. I can not find a source of the problem, having tried all available graphics drivers from apple and forceware drivers from laptopvideo2go.
The problem does not seem to be related to any particular action in vista, like opening windows or applications. It just flickers at any given time, for a fraction of a second and then comes back to normal.
I have tried all available drivers. Yes, UAC is off. TMM is off, too. Yes, it does the flickering on both my cinema hd and the hp 30 at work. Yes, it is very very annoying.
Anyone else having the same problem? Any idea of what it might be?
Message was edited by: peterternstrom

I have but the problem is still there. Matt on this forum has the same problem. He is in Austria, so maybe there is issue with streaming ATV in 50hz countries.
Will try to connect the ATV directly to my projector instead of going through the receiver.
