I have had the issue with a Snow Leopard but never with Lion.
Can you go to System Preferences>Displays>Color and select your profile.
I had made 3 profiles and they are all still there and my iMac is still using the same one I previously selected

    Have you formatted it for Mac using Disk Utility?
    If not, open Disk Utility (Applications>Utilities folder) and select the drive to the left. Make sure that you select "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" and then the erase button.

  • After updating to the ladtest OS my iPhone most time goes blank when I unlock it and does not recognize my finger print not show the passcode to enter. Screen just brightens up and stays blank.

    Hello there, Prashanthds96.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting issues with an iPhone not turning on:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Superdrive reading DVDs only -not CD/CD-ROMs

    hi folks. I've got a late 2005 Dual 2.5 PowerPC G5. Recently i thought my combo DVD/CD-Rom drive (the standard that came with the model) had gone kaput. It kept ejecting every audio or CD-ROM disc i would try to load. So in an effort to see if it was just becoming fussy in its old age, i went through many discs, and finally noticed that DVDs would load just fine. Zero problems at all with DVDs. But for some stupid reason absolutely NO audio or CDROMs will load. Im perplexed.
    I dont see how this could be a hardware issue, but if so please point it out. Can't seem to find any utilities that might run a diagnosis on it
    The drive is a SONY DVD RW DW-U21A and until recently have never had any reading or writing problems. I updated to Tiger 10.4.11 just to see if maybe a system software update might fix it. No success.
    so then, does anyone out there have any clue what might be causing this? Honestly i was about to accept the fact that it had just come to its natural end and buy a new one, but with this new discovery of DVDs reading perfectly, im a little stumped and would prefer to troubleshoot this rather than spend money for a replacement, if possible.
    Any opinions, tips, or info would be appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi mplaster-
    Its a hardware issue. The DVD and CD portions of drives are essentially separate electronic devices. One can fail, as in your case, and the other works fine.
    Some folks have reported success using an optical drive head cleaner. If that doesn't do it, replacement drives are cheap and easy to do yourself if so inclined.
    Luck-

  • Superdrive reads Dvds but not cds?

    I am a new convert from PCs. 2 days ago I bought a new Imac G5 it plays dvds without a problem but when I put in a blank CD or even a regular CD it takes about 30sec and just spits it out. It doesn't even show up on the desktop? Whats wrong? I update the mac. Some1 Plz help!!!

    In the System Preference panels, there is one named CDs & DVDs
    and it is possible the computer has been set to Ignore or eject blank
    media of this type; since that option exists in this control panel.
    System Preferences should be available in the menu beneath the
    Blue Apple, and also in the Dock.
    {PS: Where did you get a 'new iMac G5' in these days of Intel® iMacs?}
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Superdrive reads DVD's, not CD's

    I recently bought a used G5 from a University surplus store. It will read DVD's, but not CD's. Is it possible that the university was able to disable the reading of CD's for use in computer labs?
    This is what it says when I look under "disk burning" in System Profile:
    HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4481B:
    Firmware Revision: 2.05
    Interconnect: ATAPI
    Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
    Cache: 2048 KB
    Reads DVD: Yes
    CD-Write: -R, -RW
    Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes
    Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw
    Media: No
    Any thoughts?

    Probably more likely that the drive's CD laser has failed. Thankfully, new (and faster) drives cost about $30.
    You could also try reinstalling OS X from the original install media, and then seeing whether or not the drive will read CDs. That would tell you if something had been disabled or corrupted. However, you'll lose all your existing data and it's a lengthy process.

  • SuperDrive reads DVDs

    I've noticed a lot of people have drives that won't read or write DVD's but still work with CD's and CD-ROM's. I am having the opposite problem where my drive will read and write to DVD (video & data) but anytime I put in a CD-ROM, Audio CD, or Blank CD-R the drives spins it a couple of times and then spits it back out.
    What's very frustrating is that I was listening to CD's and burning CD-ROM's just last night. This computer is only 40 days old. (grrr) Any ideas?

    Thanks for the idea, but it didn't work for me. My drive will read any sort of DVD just fine (DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD movies, DVD-ROM, etc) and it will even burn DVD's. The problem is it will not read any sort of CD (Audio CD, CD-ROM, CD-R, etc).
    The drive is a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-109

  • Macbook 2.4 2008 after update 10.6.8 and firmware, won't fully boot

    Weird problem after updating to 10.6.8 from 10.6.0 (fresh install).
    I went thru Software Update, it downloaded 10.6.8 and the other updates. It also found that I needed a Firmware Update, which I also choose to install.
    The updates went thru okay, including the Firmware. Everything went exactly as it should. The machine booted as per normal.
    Afterwards, I checked that it had updated normally to 10.6.8 and everything checked out okay. 
    I left the Macbook plugged in and in Sleep. It was like this for probably 24 hours. NO BATTERY INSTALLED (don't know if this could be a problem, but I don't see how). I just came back now to find that I can't get back to the desktop from Sleep, nor can I boot to the desktop.
    Specifically, here's what I see:
    - first, on trying to Wake from Sleep, the screen remained black. The Superdrive spun up, the white light at the front of the Macbook was pulsing. But no desktop.
    - I then held the Power button till it shut down. Then rebooted. And here's what I got:
    a) no startup chime
    b) I could Superdrive and fans and HD spin up
    c) the display turned on, but didn't show the startup screen, no Apple logo, etc. It just went to the Desktop in about 10-15 seconds.
    d) on the Desktop I can see:
    - the Desktop background
    - the Disk Utility window open to Repair Permissions, which was the last thing I'd done on the Macbook (permissions checked out okay)
    - and THIS: I've never seen it before, but the Desktop is a bit "fuzzy", I can see the background and the Disk Utility window though, as well as a NUMBER OF SHORT BARS towards the bottom of the screen, and there's a BAR BY BAR PROGRESS from left to right (the first bar is filled in, then the second, etc.), BUT the progress DOESN'T make it to the last bar before the SCREEN GOES BLACK AGAIN  (*sorry for the caps, but I'm trying to highlight the salient parts).
    Any ideas?
    Is this somehow related to the Firmware update? I remember that the Macbook booted fine after the Firmware update, the long horizontal progress bar was filled in as normal and got to the end; IIRC the Macbook then booted fine. I believe it was at this point that I repaired Permissions. Then left the Macbook, only to return to find it as it is now.
    Any help much appreciated.

    Update:
    Installed 10.6 and did all the updates, am now using it with an external monitor. Working fine as a Mini, but a real bummer re. the black or blue screen.
    Without external monitor connected, I get this:
    - I can boot, with startup chime, from DVD or external hard disk, after holding Option at startup and choosing bootable volume on screen; I can also boot from the DVD by holding down C key
    - When I boot, the startup chime doesn't sound right away, as there's a short delay; in that time (a few seconds), the LED light at the front of the Macbook FLASHES 5 TIMES; there are NO error beep sounds
    - The boot screen starts up, I get Apple logo and spinning wheel, and at about the usual point where the screen goes blue for a couple seconds, before the Macbook boots to the desktop, the screen goes black
    - The Macbook seems to go to Sleep, with the screen black; the front light pulses
    - I can wake the Macbook from Sleep by pressing a key
    - Previously, after waking from Sleep, the Macbook went to the desktop -> in other words, the Macbook completed startup with the black screen;
    - When the Macbook woke from Sleep, there was a slight delay of a few seconds before the Trackpad and Keyboard became active; I then had a few seconds to use the Trackpad before the screen went black again, and the Macbook went back to Sleep
    - Now, though, when I wake it from Sleep, I get a Blue Screen, and the screen stays blue; i.e., doesn't turn black and the Macbook doesn't sleep
    All of this refers to booting the Macbook without an external monitor connected.
    When booting with an external monitor, everything works normally.
    POINTS OF PARTICULAR INTEREST:
    1) all of this happened from the time I updated the Firmware, as per Software Update
    2) the screen works during the boot process, then goes black
    3) boot completes even with black screen
    4) the screen works for a 10 seconds when Macbook wakes from Sleep, then goes black again
    5) now, the screen goes blue - and stays there - when the Macbook wakes from Sleep
    6) Macbook works normally with external monitor; the Macbook's internal display is not recognized when an external monitor is connected; the iSight camera is not recognized
    So, what the heck happened?
    I can understand the internal display and/or onboard video getting broken, but then it should simply not work at all, right? How is it that it works "partially" or "temporarily", during boot and when waking from Sleep, before going black?
    What is with the 5 flashing LEDs at boot or when waking from Sleep? (I can't find any info concerning the Macbook and 5 flashing LEDs, but only concerning the Macbook Air, and it refers to a battery problem).

  • No System Startup after Update 10.4.10 - Help?

    Hi,
    after updating to 10.4.10 Mac OS X was not completely startup. It was hanging at the end of the blue loading bar every time.
    I was running the Hardware Test on the OS X Installation DVD and the harddrive testprogramm. Everything was ok. I could start the system in the "Safe Mode". I read that a new system installation could fix startup problems. So I reinstalled OS X. Everything was running OK. Then I updated to 10.4.10 again and I have the same Problem again!
    I read about a quicktime component problem, so I reinstalled Quicktime in the "Safe Mode" like they were writing, but nothing helps.
    After the Update to 10.4.9 my system seemed to be slower, but now it does not even startup. It always hangs at the end of the blue loading bar.
    My System:
    MacMini - 1,83 GHz (Intel)
    1 GB-RAM
    SuperDrive
    AirPort
    80 GB Harddrive
    Any ideas??
    Thanks for help.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!!
    I could start the system in the "Safe Mode".
    Well try a normal startup, that fails, then start up in Safe Mode and immediately use the Console application (in /Applications/Utilities) to look at your system.log. Go back to where it says "reboot by <user>" and look at the lines immediately before that. Post some of them here.
    If it starts OK in safe mode, but not otherwise, then there may be a problem with one or more of the items listed in Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?.
    Since you don't get as far as being able to log in, it is unlikely that Login Items are a problem. Equally it is not likely to be the font caches mentioned since they are user specific. I would be inclined to start with the fonts in /Library/Fonts, and then work backwards in the list.
