An old-chestnut...Eye-One Pro problems

Can anyone help me? There was a thread running a while ago, since closed, about problems with X-Rite Eye-One monitor and print profiler, and problems with getting the kit working. It all seemed to boil down to a problem with HP drivers. I gave up on this matter last year, assuming I'd lost my money, but I really do need to do a print-profile, and the kit is still not recognised in Leopard. The solution appeared, then, to be deleting HP drivers supplied by HP, and then to re-install HP drivers supplied by Apple. Is this still the only way of fixing this, and if so, how do I get the HP drivers from Apple (the link given by X-Rite to Apple doesn't work)? If anyone has found a solution to this infuriating issue, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks,
Ben

Ben,
I'm afraid I don't know as for the X-Rite & Print Profiler. But I know that the Apple HP Divers are on the Leopard Disk, or the Restore disks that came with your computer.

  • 20" ACD brightness / Eye-One 2 problem

    So I go to do my normal calibration with my Eye-One Display 2 on my 20" ACD and it goes fine, although I am surprised to see that the brightness level has fallen to like, 75cd/m2. So I turn up the brightness to 120, calibrate. Fine. Then I go to do a second profile (at D50) and when it gets to the brightness calibration, it says I'm down to 113cd/m2! What's going on!? Did my monitor drop from 120 to 113 in 2 minutes without my noticing? Or is the Eye-One broken/dead/unreliable? Or am I missing something else..?

    Oh - btw - I didn't move the calibrator so it can't be inconsistencies in the backlight unless the backlight is fading uniformly.

  • Spyder pro, spyder elite or eye one display 2

    hello folks,
    i have a macbook pro5,3 with the glossy screen and editing with Aperture 3. i'm wondering which brand works best for the macbook pro or the most "mac friendly". i'm willing to spend the $200 for either the spyder elite or the eye one display 2 but don't know which is the most user friendly for the macbook pro. of course if i can get away with the cheaper spyder 3 pro for my needs then so be it.
    i'm quite the amateur and most of my editing is on my spare time (which i don't have a lot of) and lots of my pics are experimental like landscapes, macros, etc as well as 1000's of shots of my 6mo old daughter .
    but i would like to have at least a good starting point until i get more experience and go for an external monitor. not going for the most precise at the moment but something that will be quick and simple for a newbie so i can have a more truer display than the default settings.
    also, does apple do a good job with prints?
    thanks

    when you calibrate, do you have the option in system prefs to "reduce brightness before display sleeep" turned OFF? if not, that can play havoc with profile creation
    i've not used the eye one calibrator, what colour temperature and gamma are you selecting? with mine I use the native white point and gamma 2.2
    if the generic apple "color lcd" profile is giving better colour than your generated profiles then i'd say you've got a problem with your calibration setup or workflow

  • Eye One Display 2 + CG241W and Macbook Pro

    I have a Macbook Pro C2D and my external display is a EIZO CG241W. On both of these screens, my blues are pretty much purple. Does anyone have this problem? I've tried the Eye One Match software aswell as Colornavigator and I have still have this problem.

  • Help diagnosing colour management problem - windows 7, CS3, Eye-one display 2

    Hi,
    I had my colour management all set up and working on my old laptop then I foolishly got a new laptop and am completely failing to get things straight.
    The new laptop (Asus N56VM with Nvidia GT 630M) is running Windows 7.. I've calibrated the screen using my Pantone (X-Rite) eye-one display-two and straight away it looks much better to the eye. I calibrate to native white point which I always do with laptops.
    I've used the following procedure to make Windows 7 load the profile at startup and removed the GretagMacbeth tool which attempts to do the same:
    http://www.laszlopusztai.net/2009/08/23/stop-losing-display-calibration-with-windows-7/
    Everything looks great except when I attempt to use anything with colour management.
    Eg. All my old photos looked great  in Adobe Bridge until I activated Color Management via it's settings and suddenly they look awful - sky blues turn turquoise.
    If I open an sRGB tagged file in photoshop it looks the same - awful (using Preserve Embedded Profile and with a working space of Adobe 1998 in Color Settings)
    Only way I can get images to look normal in Photoshop is to open them then ASSIGN the monitor profile to the image (I know this makes no sense to do and is in no way a workaround)... and it looks great.
    Something's not right somewhere but not sure where to start looking since there are so many variables. Can anyone suggest a route to investigate based on what I've said so far?  This is driving me nuts!

    Ok, I use the same tool and software to calibrate my monitor. I disagree with Lazlo p about resetting Color Management. What you should have is under Devices>Display, click "Use my settings for this device". (You will have to go to the place you checked Windows display calibration and uncheck it first.)
    When I first started using Win 7, I did not have either checked, (I didn't know about Windows Display Cal) and had fits. Then I checked "Use my settings..." and it ran fine.
    The reason the Gregg MacBeth Calibration Loader tool is needed has to do with their reluctance in updating the software completely to run in 64 bit. The Calibration Loader has always been a part of their software and for at least, XP, has run seamlessly. I now have the icon for Cal Loader in my tray, and after reboot, I'll click it to be sure the profile has loaded. Most of the time it has.
    I verified it with the support group who verified the need to use that tool in 64 bit. The workaround? An entirely new software package at a considerable sum!
    So I did what Lazlo suggested, and when I had completed the changes, I clicked the cal loader icon in the Tray.
    The display changed!
    I trust the Cal Loader.
    I do not grasp what MS implies in their discussion of WCS vs ICC, especially with respect that WCS is better.
    Finally, I am doubtful that you should be using native white point. It's not simply a choice available to laptops, but to all LCD screens (AFAIK!). There is a huge difference between 6500K and native white point on the Dell u2412,so much so I dismissed it out of hand and tweak the colors in RGB during calibration. Your laptop may not offer that path.

  • Monitor calibration no longer works -- eye-one display 2

    I have been reasonably successfully calibrating monitors for my Mac Pro desktop (Apple monitor) and Macbook Pro laptop for close to 3 years, with an X-rite eye-one display 2 system.  I'm using Mac OS 10.6.6 on both computers.
    Over the last several days, calibrating on both monitors has yielded widely inaccurate profiles, although I'm calibrating the monitors in the same way I always have.  On the MacPro/Apple Cinema, the calibration seems to be proceeding fine, when I've finished the process, "before-after" looks good (i.e., slight change for the better with the new calibration); but when I click "finish calibration" and exit the software, the monitor profile is completely out of whack.  On a given image, about half the colors are now out of gamut (where none were before).  Similar symptoms on my laptop.  I tried downloading the latest software from X-rite on my desktop, and it didn't seem to help.   (On the other hand, when I calibrated my Apple monitor using the "Easy" option in the software, it actually worked almost acceptably, except for the luminance.)
    The only way I can even use either computer is to go to system preferences and switch to the monitor to the most recent profile I was using before these troubles began.  (The laptop is actually unusable without going back to an earlier profile, because the drop-down texts at the top of the display are completely blacked out.)
    Since this sort of behavior is happening with two different computers and monitors, and I've downloaded the latest software from X-rite (and reinstalled the software from the original installation disk), I'm assuming that the problem is with the puck (hardware).
    I realize it may be hard to provide advice, given my difficulty in describing exactly what's happening.   But I'm interested in anyone's advice or thoughts. -- E.g, how to get through to X-Rite for help, altho from other forums, I've gotten the impression they won't be much help; is there any forum specifically devoted to eye-one display 2 (especially if this is the wrong forum).  Is there an expected life for the pucks (mine is about 3 years old)?  Do they sometimes fail in this way?
    Thanks.

    It was an extremely frustrating process trying to know if indeed this was the way to calibrate this monitor, and after spending so much time and research was all I could come up with. Did you notice the graphing results of both types of calibration? The red (I believe it was) of the RBG graph line was not lined up at all with the G and B thus the weird color on the monitor, and with the Easy mode, they were at least in line, more or less.

  • I have eye-fi pro x2 i wont constant slideshow with every new snapshot what can i do?

    i need help for eye-fi pro x2 to lightroom how to constant slideshow non-stop with eveven new picture taking

    Really you need to post the exact model. Some of these old iMac can be upgraded OSX in theory, but in practice it's likely to be glacially slow and not worth doing.
    The problem with USB dongles of any sort is that they need drivers, and it's fairly unlikely you will be able to get OS9 drivers now. However, it's worth researching - if you could get that to work OS9 would be fine for web browsing as long as you don't want to do some of the more advanced things. Ordinary sites will work fine. Things like .Mac's Web Gallery won't.
    If your iMac is one of these it may have an ethernet socket. if so, Linksys make a wireless bridge which will connect your wireless network to ethernet without needing drivers, and it should be possible to set this up as a network connection.

  • Yoga 3 pro : problem connecting to HD TV with micro/mini HDMI to HDMI

    I purchased a YOGA 3 PRO (512GB) and couldn't be happier with how light and slim this jewel is. The CPU works fast and overall it's a gret UltraBook.
    BUT
    I just can't connect my Yoga 3 Pro to my TV. I purchased this Ultra Book at BEST BUY (this model is apparently an "exclusive" of Best Buy), and since I knew i need to connect it to an external monitor to do real work on photoshop, I also purchased an INSIGNIA micro-HDMI to HDMI cable.
    As shown below, my 32" HD TV (one of the latest models from LG / ref. 32LB5800) is recognized by Windows 8.1 and the INTEL HD Graphics 5300 Display driver (which i updated to the latest version 10.18.10.3960), but unfortunately the TV says "NO SIGNAL".
    Link to image
    I've tried to connect the Insighnia mini-HDMI to HDMI cable in all 3 HDMI inputs on my TV, but same pathetic result. The first input is HDMI ARC, the second one is regular HDMI and the third one is for mobile devices (HDMI MHL), but all 3 returned the same "NO SIGNAL".
    So I figured maybe it was the TV. Thus i plugged my Yoga 3 Pro to a Pioneer Plasma TV that was about 3-4 years old, straight to one of HDMI inputs and same thing, no image. However, Windows 8.1 found the TV and even suggests the ideal resolution.
    In both cases the TV model was found by Windows 8.1 and shown under the "Screen Resolution" menu. I selected "Extend these displays" to use the TV as a main monitor, but of course this doesn't help the case.
    So i started digging this forum and read a lot of coomplaints about the previous version of the YOGA PRO and that the micro-HDMI plug was poorly designed and the cable connector needed to be "trimmed" a little by 1mm or so to allow it plug fully into the port. So i tried that too, and even though i succesfully removed 1mm of rubber around my Insignia cable connector, it didn't help whatsoever since apparently, the new YOGA 3 PRO doesn't have this issue any longer, its design solved indeed that weakness of its predecessor.
    So I'm asking: what the hell is the problem then? it's driving me crazy. I've literrally spent the past 6 hours trying to figure it out, but without any success. This forum has ZERO post about a problem of connection of a YOGA 3 PRO to an HDTV. I know it's a very recent model, but still, I can't believe to be the only one experiencing this issue.
    If I don't find a solution quickly I'm afraid I'll have no other choice but to return it. It's unbelievable that both the latest iterations of the LENOVO YOGA PRO are having issues (likely different) connecting to an HD TV using the mini/micor HDMI port.
    Not sure if this is a hardware or software problem, but LENOVO better get their act together and fix this stat!
    UPDATE: i also noticed that when the cable is plugged into the micro-HDMI port, there's no more sound on the ultrabook. I played a video while the cable was plugged in and NO SOUND. I'm not sure if this is normal or not. I would assume connecting the Yoga 3 Pro with the cable into the TV makes it believe that the sound shall be directed towards the TV now, hence the disabled sound on the Ultrabook, even though on the receiving side, the TV still doesn't get any signal from that cable, neither video nor audio.

    Solved!

    well it turned out the culprit was the INSIGNIA Micro-HDMI to HDMI cable sold by Best Buy. I tried another cable brand and now it's working just fine! Go figure...

  • New macbook pro problem, plz help

    hey everyone.i just bought the new macbook pro last week, 15" i7core 2ghz. i am a very serious musician, and im going going to university next year to study music, the whole reason i bought this computer is for recording, all the musicians i know who are serious/professionals use macs. when i first turn on my computer everything is fine, but once i plug my guitar in through my zoom g2.1u pedal, garageband freezes and i have to force quit it, this just started happening within the past 2 days.for the first week i recorded with it fine.  it was also happening yesterday without even plugging in my guitar at all. when this happens the internet also shuts down. when i open safari it doesnt say you are not conncted to the internet, it just has a blank white page. when this happens everything else isnt working right either, everything is slow and laggy. i paid alot of friggin money for this thing and i wanted to keep it clean the only things ive done to it were, i took some mp3, pdf and guitar pro files from my old windows xp onto my mac through a usb stick, downloaded a mp3 from online and set a cool backround as my desktop. I thought macs were supposed to be resilient? or do i just have a defective one. these problems are quite specific but if i cant use garageband/record with my mac theres not a rly a point of me having one.
    i hope someone can help me out here.

  • Editing old PC based Premiere Pro CS4 projects in PP CS5 for Mac

    I recently switched to Mac to gain OS stability, while still using Premiere, which I like better than Final Cut Pro.  One big problem, I can't edit old projects that used AVI files in CS5 for the Mac.  Does anyone know how I can do this?

    The only times I have seen BSOD's with Win7 was when pushing the limits with overclocking. XP and Vista were not as stable, I admit that.
    OTOH, with around 20 times more PC users  than there are MAC users, the number of questions here from MAC users does not inspire confidence. But that is another topic.
    In some way you need to get your old projects available for the MAC. You can try exporting to QuiRcktime from the PC, or use a visually lossless or uncompressed format and try to import that into the MAC.

  • Ati 9600 Pro Problem Sloved

    Had serious problems getting my Radeon 9600 Pro to work with my MSI 875 Board.
    System crashed after 5 seconds of play and sometimes after 10-15 minutes of gameplay. But it never crashed when I was surfing the net or stuff like that.
    The solution  for me was Zalman heatpipe cooling for the ATI card and a new 360 watt PSU to replace my old 340 watt PSU. And now my card is stable as ****  
    I guess the 9600 PRO problem is a PSU problem and if you take a look at the stock fan I think most of you would like to replace that one as well.

    I am glad that you fixed the problem ...I also bet that the PSU was a greater factor in the fix ...Good job "RKbauge"!!...Sean REILLY875

  • My itunes wont auto sync my iphone 4 after i connect it to itunes. But it can auto sync when i connect it to my old laptop. what's the problem that it can't auto sync and when i did a backup in my new laptop, it was corrupted the next day.

    But it can auto sync when i connect it to my old laptop. what's the problem that it can't auto sync and when i did a backup in my new laptop, it was corrupted the next day and i was forced to use back a backup which i did in my old laptop 4 months ago. do i have to reinstall the itunes? will my backups be corrupted after i sync again? pls guide.
    P.S/ its the latest version of the itunes whenever i did the backups.

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup? 

  • I have two apple id's one from my old laptop and one from my iPhone. I saved my iTunes library to my external hard drive and then tried to transfer it to my iMac. My music skips like a scratched cd now and I can't add any to my iPhone. Help please!

    I have two apple id's one from my old laptop and one from my iPhone. I saved my iTunes library to my external hard drive right before my old mac laptop died and then tried to transfer it to my new iMac. Now when I try to play my old music it skips like a scratched cd. Also, now I can't add any music to my iPhone unless it was purchased recently through itunes and downloaded through icloud. I tried to "Organize" my library in hopes of correcting the problem but my iMac just ejects my external harddrive part way through. Please help!

    Ejects the harddrive?
    Of what did your old Mac die?
    It sounds to me like you have some file corruption somewhere.  Either in the transfer of your library to the external or the external itself is flaky if it keeps ejecting.
