Best rgb and gamma settings for external monitor with mountain lion

Hi,
I'm using an LG LED 22 inch monitor with my MBP mid 2010 via minidisplay to hdmi. on OS X side the settings have been default. On the LED side the settings , if set to preset RGB it tends to fade the whites a lot. when i set to user definied and let the preset rgb be at it is, the colors are quote decent. currently they are on R 50, G 58 and B 59 and Gamma 1. Which is the best RGB and Gamma value for OS X Mountain Lion?

Welcome to the forum.
First off, you need to go and buy a hardware monitor calibrator, such as an OptixXR or similar. This will build a custom monitor profile for your specific screen. Without this starting point you can forget ANY attempt at accurate colour matching.
Never (and I mean never) use a working space such as sRGB or Adobe98 as your monitor profile, that's not what they are designed for. Working spaces control what colours are possible in the image, monitor profiles control how those colours are shown on screen. Aperture uses it's own working space so you don't have to worry about that too much.
To answer the rest far too briefly, I'd suggest setting the proofing profile to sRGB and of course use sRGB for the export preset. The gamma setting you will have to adjust depending on how dark the Lightjet prints look compared to your screen. You will have to do test-strips to start with.
Your images looking crap on flickr on Windows machines is partly because Windows web browsers generally do NO colour correction, and only partly to do with the different gamma.

Is anyone else experiencing frequent blackout problems on an external monitor in Mountain Lion?

Is anyone else experiencing frequent blackout problems on an external monitor in Mountain Lion? I called Apple Support and got a temporary fix by removing preferences, but frequent --several second-- blackouts are back. Will an HDMI cable alleviate this?

I have been experiencing this, but with Lion, not Mountain Lion. It is driving me nuts!
I am using LG L246WP monitor via HDMI to DVI on MacPro1,1. I have tried changing cables, even tried VGA to DVI (no blackouts with VGA, but not sure I can trust that, because there is no set pattern of when it will blackout!).
I did try another monitor for most of a day - no blackouts/flickers, and as soon as I hooked up my original monitor, I got blackouts, which led me to believe it is the monitor.
I have searched and read several forums on blackouts, each with different configurations, so at this point I am not sure what it is. I even replaced my Graphics/Video card, because someone on Apple forum said most likely that was the culprit, but still having same problem (even as I type this!).
It is like something is intermittently interfering with signal???

Can anyone recommend a Multi-function black and white laser printer for that works with Mountain Lion? The MFP can be either 3-in-1 or 4-in-1 i.e with fax

I bought an epson xp650 a couple of months ago and cannot fault it. It does everything I require and it is the wifi model so I can print directly from my ipad/iphone. Not sure if you are asking about the colour of the unit or just to be able to print black and white, Obviously all printers will print black and white but just to give you a little more info the printer I bought is the white version and it looks really nice sat next to my imac 27''
Hope this helps.

ICloud Password to Insert and Remove Account from your Mac with Mountain Lion for better Security

Hello
In fact I would put one in Schedule TIP for Apple, which would give greater security for users of the Mountain Lion operating system, or any other that supports iCloud.
Would putting an administrator password to remove the iCloud account from your computer, once again, that only with her that if you can find the mac, alert by Find My Mac
Otherwise, anyone who steals your mac, or act in bad faith, it can handle, and remove or simply log off from your account iCloud, and beyond what I think most serious, which is losing function of my Search Mac, and contact settings, calendar, among others.
As with the iPhone, iPad, iPod .... RESTRICTIONS have the option, which many users do not use because they do not know, more is NOT a function that allows a thief eg delete your iCloud account from your device when you turn to that does not allow changes to Accounts and Location.
That it should have, or simply their own password to enter, and REMOVE the computer. What would bring much greater security for us users. This all in both IOS and in OS X. All to remove your iCloud account password needed.
Or creating a menu PRIVACY, you chose for which adjustments or applications, you'd want it to be password request, the type for Mail or Skype, although the computer is personal, but there is that possibility of someone picks open it and move on that should not.
I ask that Apple is to sensitize the issue, and we help users to develop a system better and safer.

Multiple Monitors with Mountain Lion

"Detect Displays" doesn't work with Mountain Lion so I am unable to use multiple monitors without jumping through a million hoops. Anyone else have this problem? I think Apple needs to FIX THIS!

There is a third party menu bar application that seems to restore most of the functionality that used to be available under the Display icon in the menu bar.
Also, you can still switch between mirror/extended desktop by hitting Cmd-F1.
If, somehow, your mac fails to automatically detect a connected display, though, I don't know any equivalent to the old "Detect Displays". It usually does detect them automatically, and in the very few occasions it hasn't, disconnecting and reconnecting the cable has worked for me.
All in all, not ideal, and I wished they had kept the functionality; but all is not (completely) lost.
Save As... is back, so here's hoping that "Show displays in the menu bar" will return as well.

Running Mavericks, when I try to print on my HP LaserJet 1320tn I get the message "Printing - The printer is in use." and nothing happens. Worked fine with Mountain Lion.

I'm running Mavericks and when I try to print on my networked HP LaserJet 1320tn I get the message "Printing - The printer is in use." and nothing happens. The same set up works fine's with Mountain Lion. I am uptodate. Any thoughts?

Hi,
Thanks, but these suggestions aren't helping.
I have
1. tried to print form a different add
2. deleted and reinstaled the printer
3. deleted and reinstall the printer drivers
4. reset the printing system
there's no problem with the printer or the wireless as (1) i can print using my partner's mac with mountian lion and (2) I can see the printer on my own mac (mavericks)
Any more suggestions?
Thanks

Built-in Isight for External Monitor with Macbook closed

Hello Apple Community,
I'm having trouble using my built-in iSight through my external monitor. My set-up is that the Macbook is closed and I run everything through an external monitor. I'm unable, however, to use that external monitor's iSight with any applications. They either say that there's no camera available or something along those lines. The iSight shows up in the system profile under USB, and I've tried resetting various things, but all of that seems geared more to the macbook than to the monitor. I've also woken up the macbook (where the iSight works fine) and tried mirror/non-mirror modes. When I use a camera-based application via the macbook, it doesn't give me an option of which camera to use, relying only on the macbook's. Is there a way to use the external monitor's camera instead?
Thanks,
Abe

Does one of these help you, Abe?
(1) Your Profile "Products" info shows " MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.1) ". If this is correct, you may be using an early MBP and/or display. Have you checked for the firmware update? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3957
(2) Consider Apple's suggestions from the "If the built-in iSight camera, microphone, speakers, or USB ports on the display are not working:" section of http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2400
(3) If you are using a non-Apple external display, contact the seller or manufacturer for help.

Best Graphics and Tuner Card for 865 Pro with XP MCE (Maybe Vista?)

Hi all,
I'm looking at rebuilding my 865 Pro
I haven't upgraded the graphics so what do people recommend as the best AGP card for the 865 Pro
I have the MSI tuner but I am looking a ditching instant on for MCE would like to get a idea for digital tuning card (I'm in the UK). Would anybody recommend using a combined AGP/Tuner card like the ATI All in Wonder cards or using a USB Tuner?
I am thinking I will have to stick with XP because of driver support. I have dual boot to Vista at the moment but the wifi doesn't work.
Idea and Suggestions welcome
Danny

Thanks for the reply Stu.
I tried installing the XP wi-fi driver in Vista and I couldn't get it to work. I didn't try harder as the Mega 865 Pro is not supposed to be Vista compatible.
Is there a 3rd party driver I should try?
The reason I would like to upgrade the graphics is to have the option to play some games and I am beginning to find limitation with the on board graphics. I tried to check out second life on the mega the other week and it wouldn't set up because the graphics wasn't up to it.
I have tried installing a dedicated APG card before - the Gigabyte nVidia Geforce 6600 with heatpipe passive cooling.
It is a great card but I found every now and then the PC would crash with it running. It is a very tight fit with the TV tuner card and the airflow wasn't good.
So I am looking at using a small APG card or replacing the tuner. That’s why a combined card seemed to make sense and would free up the PCI slot.
As power is a problem for some graphics cards is upgrading the PSU an option?
Thanks
Danny

Overlapping wallpapers on external monitor w/mountain lion

When I close the lid on my early 2011 Macbook Pro with my external monitor pugged in via a thunderbolt to displayport adaptor, the wallpaper from the macbook overlaps the different wallpaper on my external monitor. This has only started to happen after upgrading to Mountain Lion. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I have been experiencing this, but with Lion, not Mountain Lion. It is driving me nuts!
I am using LG L246WP monitor via HDMI to DVI on MacPro1,1. I have tried changing cables, even tried VGA to DVI (no blackouts with VGA, but not sure I can trust that, because there is no set pattern of when it will blackout!).

Three monitors with Mountain Lion

Under Snow Leopard I had two monitors connected to my iMac and all three screens worked just fine.
Then I installed Mountain Lion. The Imac can only find one of my two other monitors.
What can I do to access the other monitor as well?

Thank you for replying BDAqua.
If I make the right or left monitor my main monitor the the files drag to the approprate place. When I switch it back to the center montior being the main monitor then the issue comes up again.
Could there be an issue with which monitor is connected to which port?
It's just weird.
What else can I try?

How to format an external HD with Mountain Lion ?

I am trying to format a brand new 3TB extrnal drive to Mac OS Extended using Disk Utility under Mountain Lion, so I can hook up my Stardom Safe Capsule to my Time Capsule and increase its storage capacity.
I am getting the same error every time: "Wiping Volume Data to Prevent Future Accidental Probing failed" when using Disk Utility Erase function. And then the process stops.
I do not have an older version OS startup disk, so I can not revert back to Lion or earlier.
What should I do ?
Many thanks in advance.

Bought logic pro 9.1.7 online for new MBP with mountain Lion, but asked for serial number. Where could I get SN?

How can I get the SN for an online version of Logic Pro bought from AppStore?
Thanks!

good news. The trick is to delete the "logic pro 9" by dragging the App from Finder->Applications to trash bin, and re-doanload and re-install it again. Now it's happily downloading 19GB contents without asking for SN.
Thanks Pancenter for your message. This is is brand-new MBP with Retina display, and I didn't find or delete and reg file for logic. Simply delete the app under installation (not in the launch pad, see above) and re-install. It works for the 2nd try. It could be a SW integration bug.
