30" Apple Display - consistent color problems- 1/2 and 1/2

I'm a professional photographer that must provide technically precise and color-correct images to my clients. My old 23" Apple Display was awesome. This new 30" is good looking, but I've noticed that the left side of the screen is slightly warm and the right side is slightly cool. I'm still using the Color Eyes calibration software, which makes my screen look better overall, but it's still clearly different tones left to right.
Is there a fix for this?
For now I'm calibrating one side and only using that half for my color-correcting needs. Seems like a lot of money to pay for a bad monitor. Thanks in advance for any advice.

So, I took my faulty 30" back to my local Apple store, and because of a glitch in their repair scheduling software, they were forced to give me a brand new 30". NOW I have these little green flashing pixels that appear around edges of boxes. All over the screen, depending on where an edge is. ***?
I'll take this thing back on Monday, but I'm hoping someone will have an easy fix for me.
It can't be my computer since my original 30" display worked just fine an hour before hooking this new one up, right?
Also, worth noting: I attempted to perform the "advanced Apple calibration" in display preferences (but it wouldn't save it for some reason.) I've seen the green pixels ever since. It doesn't seem to matter which preset profile I choose- I still see these green pixels.

How to display the color of time period and the legend in Calendar view?

Hi,
Sorry to disturb you guys with a quite simple question.
I want to do a calendar view to display the period of absence for the portal user. I've setup the iView but it displays neither the color of time period nor the legend.
The problem is:
1) If I test with static legend (that is, I input the time period directly in the form instead of using data service),
 a) I could only define one time period, because it's impossible to map the out port of calendar to in port of form on defining the event as 'goto'.
 b) I can't see the color displayd while deploying although there is just one time period! Neither the legend. I' ve given the label and color of the legend and assigned the action as default in design board. Why it doesn't work?
2) If I test with dynamic legend following the chapter "Display Date on a Calendar" in the Modeler's Guide of VC;
 I assigned @RECORDNR to 'ID legend field', and used BAPI_ABSENCE_GETLIST as dynamic legend data service to edit the legend, and assigned the color for every ID. But neither color nor legend could kindly appear. What's the problem? Is there any error in the edit of entry list of the legend?
Please help me! Thanks!!!

Is there any advice?
I'll greatly appreciate your help!

Recommended Apple Displays for vintage 7350, G3/33 and Q650 Macintosh's?

I am looking for an Apple compatible display solution for a Quadra 650, a Workgroup Server 7350 and a G3/300. At this time I have the following displays at disposal: a vintage 12-inch RGB display which is connected to my vintage Mac LC, a 15-inch IBM G50 CRT with resolution comprised between 640x480@85Hz and 1024x768@72 Hz, and two professional colour CRT manufactured by Philips in the 202P40 and 70 series (which are presently connected to my PC workstations and used as dual-displays on Matrox Parhelia.)
My original plan was to use the Quadra 650 for creative writing as a replacement for the venerable LC. To this purpose a 12-inch RGB is a bit restricted (512x384), but quite practical from the desk space saving viewpoint. Perhaps a 14-inch Apple display could do well, but which one? Multiple Scan series?
The 7350/233 and G3/300 are respectively using their original video board and an ATI Rage Pro chipset. Their use would be either dedicated to scanning tasks (mainly digitisation of written media) as well as Internet gateway (for the G3 only). Colour fidelity is not prerequisite at this stage. The 15-inch IBM G50 is a capable monitor, but I think that it would be great to have a monitor with flicker-free resolution of 1024x768 for web browsing. So what is the good choice among vintage Apple displays?
I read quite numerous articles about Apple displays, and it seems that some models like the 1710 are to be avoided, according to LowEndMac. Conversely they provide excellent compatibility with vintage Macintosh graphic boards. I am particularly concerned with graphic display quality because I spend many hours in front of a computer display every day. This is the reason why I invested time and money to assemble a dual Philips 202P CRT display working space in combination with top-quality Matrox Parhelia graphic boards.
I also read about issues when using conventional CRT displays on Apple graphic boards because the OS seems to restrict the resolution and refresh rates to 75Hz. But is it true?!
Again many thanks in advance for your excellent forum and qualitative feedback.

For your Quadra 650, which you want to use for word processing text, there is an interesting paradox. There is a "hole" in the display capabilities of most computers.
15 inch displays:
can easily show 800 by 600, and 832 by 624 will fit on most displays with the picture slightly less than life size.
17 inch displays:
can show 832 by 624 with a 3/8 inch black border all around.
19 inch displays:
can display 1024 by 768 easily
If desk space is an issue, the clear winner is a 15 inch display. The difference between Super VGA at 800 by 600 and Mac 16 inch at 832 by 624 is not very large. Either could be used.
There is a document that discusses the use of sense pins, displays, and adapters with the Quadra series, which includes the Quadra 650:

TS3694 my iphone is not working and i cant enter it in FWC MODE ! it just opens in apple display then close's then open and close open and close what is the problem?

I have an iphone 4S, yesterday i shut it down to restart it,, i tried to turn it on, but it keeps on the black screen with apple mark,, then it shuts off,, and starts again on black screen and apple mark and shuts down.. whats the problem..? i tried to put it in restore mode and i cant ! its not working !

Place the phone in DFU mode (search google) and restore. If this fails to work, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

Color problems between Lr5 and other software

I can not see where to make adjustments to get the same tones between Lr and my other software: Photoshop, Irfanview, Windows Viewer ...
My test conditions:
My monitor is calibrated
... - Export Lr Jpeg quality 85% and also tests 16bit TIFF (sRGB, Adobe rgb and prophoto)
... - When exporting, I checked the "add to catalog" to view the same image in Lr.
Conclusion: Other software gives almost the same tones (some small differences due to the chosen color space) and Lr gives a much warmer picture (Raw or treated Jgeg reimported in the catalog). Will it have a preference of Lr to settle?
Note: the direct opening of RAW file in Photoshop with Camera Raw (same engine as Lr) without special settings, also gives a duller color different image, that directly Lr.
What is the solution?

In general, any difference between Lightroom and other color managed software is indicative of a corrupt monitor profile. No idea about Irfanview, but Lightroom, Photoshop and Windows Photo Viewer should all display identically.
What they all do is convert from the source/document color space to the target color space, which for display is your monitor profile. The result should be identical - that is in fact the whole point of color management. But since the source space may be different the actual conversion itself may also be different. So one conversion may go bad but not others.
A difference between Library and Develop will have the same explanation (different source spaces; Library is Adobe RGB while Develop is linear ProPhoto).
It also happens that different applications react differently to a bad monitor profile. It may work in one application and fail in others.
Any software that is not color managed will simply display in the native monitor color space, which can be anything under the sun, so you can just ignore and disregard that. It won't be accurate anyway.
So the solution is to have a valid and healthy monitor profile. Then everything color managed will display identically (save for gamut differences, but in practice that only applies if you have a wide gamut monitor. With a standard monitor any source space will have equal or larger gamut than the monitor).
Some calibration software has been known to not follow specifications strictly at all times, so check for updated software. Or the profile can simply have become corrupt. It happens. A way to test this is to set sRGB as default monitor profile in the OS - or Adobe RGB if you have a wide gamut monitor - and see if the problem clears.

Lightroom displays different colors in 4.1 and after update

Hello Community
I Had LR 4.1 recently for about a year. Everything worked fine. Until now. Due to graphic card repair, I was forced to reinstall Windows. But before - I produced some DNG's for future use.
After reinstalling W7, I run LR 4.4 and imported my DNG's. It was strange, but they appeared different than I expected - were less saturated and bad looking at all. But the strange thing is - after exporting them as jpegs - they looked fine in external apps (Irfan View, Chrome, etc.), importing them as jpegs back to LR didn't help - Lightroom displayed them badly.
The first thing I did was installing back the 4.1 version - everything was fine here in both LR and external apps - completely identical pics.
I did test LR 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 5.0b - all of them failed in proper images displaying.
What causes such weird situation ?
I also remember - some time ago I reported in this community - similar situation - after upgrade 3.4-3.6 - exactly the same problem. I moved back to 3.4 - and forgot about problem.
Can anybody help me ? I was going to buy LR5, but if beta has the same issue, I won't do it.
My system is:
HP laptop DV3-4050ez
i7-720qm
8GB RAM
ATI Radeon 5400 series
500GB 7200rpm

Hello,
I had this problem as well - the upload to Blurb would not work. Creation of a PDF and export as JPEG in the book module worked.
For me, the solution was to turn off the Windows Firewall while uploading. Now it works!

Consistent annoying problem when compiling and installing Apache modules.

Every time I build and install mod_jk for Apache (Since binaries are no longer available for Apache 1.3.x on Mac OS X, we have to build it ourselves.), everything goes smoothly until the final 'sudo make install,' and then it finishes with:
Libraries have been installed in:
/usr/libexec
Which is nice, but they're supposed to be installed in /usr/libexec/httpd in Mac OS X. (I don't know if this is a problem for Mac OS X Server too, but I'm using regular old Mac OS X 10.4.10, so I'm posting this here.)
I'm using this when I call configure:
% ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs
and /usr/sbin/apxs says:
my $CFG_LIBEXECDIR = q(/usr/libexec/httpd);
but the resulting Makefile says:
libexecdir=${APACHE_DIR}/libexec
So it appears to be ignoring the definition from apxs. It also appears that the definition of libexecdir appears to be variable only up until libexec. It looks like you can't tell it to use a subdirectory.
It's easy enough to just move the installed files into the httpd directory, with sudo mv /usr/libexec/mod_jk.* usr/libexec/httpd, but it's a little annoying to have to remember to do this every time I upgrade mod_jk.
Has anybody else run into this with this or other modules? Is it a bug that should be reported to either Apple or Apache? Does anybody have a better solution than moving the files?

It has the bonus to already be based on 3.0.

New Apple TV has 2 problems - internet connection and remote disk

Hi,
I have a TimeCapsule as main router, connected to a wired Modem for Internet access. My PowerBook G4 connects to it wirelessly using WPA2 no problems connecting to the internet and the TC disk.
I've just added and synced my new Apple TV which has thrown up 2 problems, not sure if they're related: after copying the WPA2 password, ATV connected successfully to the network, but can't find the internet. It has a correct IP address on the network, I checked that in settings. As it can't find the internet, it can't register for my iTunes account, so can't sync protected content.
On top of that it has problems syncing items on the TC Drive: I have my main iTunes library on the PowerBook G4 hard-disc, and that part synced fine, but most of my movies and TV Shows are stored on the TC disk due to lack of space on the PB. Although they're in exactly the same format as the items on the PB, when I synced, I got an error saying the file type was not compatible with ATV, so iTunes obviously has problems syncing items on the TC although it plays them fine on the PB (well it takes a bit of time connecting, but provided the TC is turned on, it plays them fine). I don't fancy moving them one by one onto the PB, syncing, deleting, etc so I need to get that fixed.
Any idea on why either problem happens, and whether they're related?
Thanks in advance.

The modem is an ethernet modem connected directly to the Time Capsule, not the Powerbook.
I checked my ITunes account, it says 3 devices can play my purchased material, so that would be my PowerBook, iPod, Work PC - AppleTV missing. I need to somehow kick it into connecting to Apple's Servers and registering with them, which it obviously didn't do at the initial setup.
The Network issue seems resolved - I started playing one of the movies that wasn't syncing on the PowerBook, which started the Network Disk, the sync obviously didn't try prompting the drive to wake up. It seems to be synching those films now (which obviously takes ages, so can't check for sure until later).

Is apple covering up iCloud problems 4/4/12?

Is apple covering up iCloud problems with mail and passwords?

It's been a mess for me since Tuesday, late morning. And, as the initial posted question suggests, YES, I DO think Apple is staying quiet on this. I think it's far more serious than any of us think. Otherwise, why wouldn't Apple be more communicative? And, they're saying it's affecting less than 1% of users. That's not MY reaction to the furer happening under the surface. I'm just so frustrated that none of the Apple news site are addressing it. I mean, could they NOT know?! Hard to believe. MacWorld. MacRumor... none of 'em are saying a thing.

Dual G5 late 2004. Some problems with fan and freeze and now can't start

I just purchased a late 2004 Dual 2.5 Gig, with PCI-x and 1 gig ethernet. 1 Gig of what I presume to be factory ram and blue toothe. Connected to a new 23" Apple display.
The problems I have been having pale to where I stand now. I am stuck and can't move forward. At this point, the computer is off. When I try to turn it on, it does little to nothing and gradually the fan speed increases until the computer sounds like it wants to take off. The screen either stays dark, or sometimes I see the ? briefly, and then the grey screen with logo and that is where it stops. Currently I can't get past a lot of fan noise??
Can I get this thing started?? I have tried both starting from CD and hard drive. No luck.
This whole mess started yesterday and has continually gotten worse. Those details I can get into if needed, but for now, what can I do to see the screen and start over.
I just bought the machine, and I was doing a clean install that was acting funny. Hard drive sleep mode would cause the machine to not wake up. Specifically it was the monitor that would not wake up. The keyboard and the computer would still respond when I adjusted the volume. The screen was black.
I narrowed the problem to drive sleep, or monitor sleep by using the energy saver preferences. Just the monitor sleeping wasn't the probem. The computer would wake up. But if the hard drive went to sleep, then I could never get the screen back and the computer acted dormant. The only thing I could get was the volume sound from the computer and lights on the keyboard.
I ran Techtool Pro 4.1.2 ( i think ) and it reported possibe problems on the hard drive with the volume. I made the changes hoping that would fix the problem? No.
I decided to flush it all and start over with the install cd, make sure firmware was good, reformat the drive, and then install the System. But instead, I got caught is this loop of death that I can't get out of.
It had a kernal panic the first day I turned it on, but that was the last one. (dark screen with white message) The computer ran rather sluggish at times. I was shocked at times. Very slow finder response.
So? Suggestions? I have searched Apple support and tried anything I can think of. This is my first G5, but I have had some exposure to OSX beginning around 10.2. I am at my wits end and would greatly appreciate some input. For now I have to get some sleep.
Is my battery bad? It just won't start?
Thank you for any help you can provide, or links to articles!!

Hi Lawson, and a Warm Welcome to the Power Mac G5 Forum!
You could try a PMU/SMU reset
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300341
Use the second procedure if you have a button as shown in the photo - use the first method if you don't. You may not have to remove the intake fan assembly to get at the button. Observe static precautions and make sure to press the button once only.
Then try to start up on the CD/DVD.
If it fires up ok you could then proceed with the 10.4 install as before, and then combo update to 10.4.8
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1048comboupdateppc.html
I would connect only a display, wired keyboard and mouse to start with - and disable any of the sleep, etc. Options in Energy Saver.
You may wish to use the Disk Utility on the 10.4 retail disc(under Utilities in the menu) to Erase and zero(select Security Options) the drive before the install.
The kernel panic and other problems could have been caused by a corrupted system on the boot drive, or by hardware problems, such as RAM, video card, battery, etc. Some of the hardware stuff is linked-to further down the post here
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3084827&#3084827
However, try the PMU/SMU reset and erase/install first, and post again with details if you still have problems.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Pictures would help. A good way to do this is to post them to a free photo sharing site like Flickr and then post a link.
Also, you are in the original MBP section, and I think you need to post your question in the newer MBP section:

Do you even know how to nuke and re-set Photoshop's preferences, colorplak? Your last post seems to reveal that you don't understand what I'm talking about. Here's a link you can click on:
Preference file functions, names, locations | Photoshop CC
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CC Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
Note for Photoshop 14.1 and later: If you use Generator and reset your Preferences, Generator is disabled. Choose Preferences > Plug-ins to turn it back on.
Video: Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here.
Mac OS
Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

A color problem in Apple's publishing App

I was wondering if you could help me with this problem，I really need some help，and here it is：
There is a Color problem in Mac publishing applications like Pages and Keynote，including iBooks Author，which really confuse me a lot。
When you use a certain color space（sRGB IEC61966-2.1 in this case）to create some colors with Apps like Illustrator CS6，Indesign CS6 & Photoshop CS6 etc. ，they look totally fine。BUT when you use iBooks Author （V2.0）to create the very same color with the very same color space，colors still look fine in the color panel，and here comes the problem：they look totally lousy in the actual document！！In fact，they look much lighter and faded。（See Image 1&2）
Above：Image 1
Above：Image 2
And this is also terrible with photos you import。（See Image 3）
Above：Image 3
Please tell me what I can do to solve this problem。I know maybe this is some sort of “basic” and “general” knowledge，but I really need your help。And I can't thank you enough if you can provide some effective solutions。

As far as I can see, the colour pallet and how colours are seen in any app on YOUR machine will depend on the computers System Preferences>Displays>Colour - choose your preferred setting.
I suggest first that you ensure that your colour profile settings are the same ( as your computer) in whatever Adobe application or in fact any outside image processor you use.
Creating or using a colour profile in Adobe and having a different profile on your system - will tend to give different colour hues.
A point also to remember is whatever you set up and is transferred to your product... when seen on an iPad may well be totally different again due to peculiarities and contrast / brighness setting of the iPad user.

New Quad-G5 with Apple 30" display WON'T DISPLAY THE COLOR BLACK???!!!!

Just got this system up and running with all my software and for some reason if I show video with an all black screen there are blue lines tarnishing the image. If I let the computer go to sleep and then wake it up any black is afflicted with the same problem. Now if just the display goes to sleep (not the computer) and it gets woken up then the problem just occurs in video again. HELP! This computer should be able to display the color black.

Sounds like a video card issue.
