Calibrating the monitor. Need help!

I just bought a 27" iMac.
I am using a Spyder4Pro to calibrate the monitor.
I need to know two things:
1. Is the monitor wide gamut or standard gamut?
2. What is the backlight type (Flouresecent, White LED, or RBG LED)?
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!

Will return your LCD panel manufacturer model number. Googeling that will turn up the data sheet for the panel.
So on my iMac I get

Googleing LM215WF3-SLA1 I get a lot of information such as
So my monitors backlighting is white LED (WLED)
As for gamut I am almost positive t(like 99.999&) that all Mac monitiors are standard.

dovdov2,
are you saying that when you connect your MacBook Pro to a monitor, your Internet connection slows down, but when you disconnect the monitor, it speeds up again, and that this is reproducible from one day to another?
Does this happen both under OS X and under Windows 7, or only under one of them?
How are you currently connecting your MacBook Pro to your monitor?

Its not the monitor - plz help

Turned on my G5 1.8 this morning and my screen looked like this
changed monitors, same thing. The room the computer is in is very cold. It was about 30 to35 degrees in there. I left the computer on so far for about 3 hrs . I have not checked as I'm away from it.
any help?

I had forgoteen I had Tech Tool Pro installed on the volume. Looking thru all the lines and distortion I was able to boot up TTP and ran a test. Everytrhing checked out except The VRAM Test, I had to print as could not see on the monitor it shows the following:
Video RAM
Failed
Video RAM, as all components of your video circuitry, must be fully functional for graphics to be properly displayed. Damaged VRAM can cause missing bits, screen noise, system lock ups, or freezes. TechTool Deluxe tests the VRAM on the Macintosh main logic board, as well as some third-party video cards.
If the VRAM test should fail, try these steps in order and run the test again after each step:
o Quit all other applications.
o Restart the system.
o Check any recently-added hardware for proper installation.
o Run the computer from another volume (if available).
o Reinstall the OS.
o Contact AppleCare.
I quit all other apps restarted - same result
booted from another volume - same result
To reinstall the OS to me would be pointless as I have another OSX bootable disk and when I tried to boot into that the screen was still distorted.
I will try to boot into the install cd. If I still have the same problem would the video card be the culprit?
I recently installed a dual layer replacement ata drive which has been working fine. Could this be the culprit?
I will put the old ata back and see.
any other suggestions?

Removing a movie clip from the stage - need help

I am learning AS3 after using AS2 for a long time. I'm making progress but need help. I have a simple Flash website with the sections laid out the timeline with labels. In one section called Media, I have a movie instance of a Flash movie gallery player. It loads just fine but when I leave that section to go to another, the sound of the video is still playing. Visually it's not seen but the sound still plays. I suspect I need to put some sort of remove commamnd in the script but I'm having trouble getting the right result.
I appreciate any help I can get with this.
Thanks!

WCCP Monitoring - Need Help

Hi Friends,
I have a requirement, where I would like to monitor the WCCP Events through the monitoring systems (Open NMS Server) we have in place. I could see from the Cisco documents that there are no direct MIB's or RFC's available. Can you please confirm this.
Also is there any other possibilities of monitoring the Cisco WCCP events?
Kindly confirm.
Thanks,
Karthik Anbumani

Hello Karthik,
There is no direct suport for WCCP in SNMP MiBs currently.
However, there are certain syslog messages related to WCCP, see
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/system/messages/guide/sm_cn11.html#wp684109
You can use EEM on IOS router with those syslog messages to generate SNMP traps for particular events logged (basically, "catch" syslog event within EEM script and fire SNMP trap), see
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/netmgmt/configuration/guide/nm_eem_policy_cli.html#wp1068071 and http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/iosswrel/ps6537/ps6550/prod_white_paper0900aecd803a4dad_ps6815_Products_White_Paper.html for some examples.

Someone reversed the monitor settings -- help

A student reversed the monitor settings so the screen shows black with silver letters/graphics. I think they hit 3 keys that does this. Does anyone know the keys that let me reset the monitor back to the original settings?

Go to System preferences -> Universal Access (under System section). Click on the "Switch to Black On White" button.

Calibrating the monitor

I've been trying to calibrate my brand new LX835-D3380 but I can't even get to adjust the brightness and contrast. I see little buttons for that purpose on the left side but they don't seem to respond and the function keys don't work either. Any help is welcome.
Thanks

NEW TO THE FORUM NEED HELP INSTALLING CS2

I just bought an older version of CS2 for Mac from the original owner and when I tried to install it the software is no longer supported by my Mac. Can I install CS2 on a new Mac? And if so how, I have all the cds and the registration number. The original owner no longer has a Mac and can not use it.
Thanks in advance for your help.
OscarCKD

You can only run CS2 on Macs running OSX 10.6 or earlier. It won't work on newer Macs using Lion or Mountain Lion (OS 10.7 and 10.8).

Okay, uninstalled the program... But I am still having the issue of the power button icon coming up in the background telling me to shutdown the computer and turning on the computer. Could this be a bad hard drive? I did some research on it befor I bought the 2 TB hard drive. I got the Seagate Barracuda HD. When I looked it up on the Internet the website said that the errors were taken care of for this particular HD. Unless I was miss informed. Is there a way some one can help me find out what this error belongs to? I don't know if it is actually the HD or not.

There is a bug (yes, insect) crawling around INSIDE the glass of the monitor. Help?

It's a tiny bug, but it's been there for three days now. It must be able to get in and out. I thought these monitors were air sealed!

Trip to the Apple store would be the best idea. Attempting to open the screen and cleaning him out yourself may not be the best idea. Some of the displays do have a cover that's held in by magnets but if you're not certain how to take it off then the store is definitely the best option.

Pretty stupid move with dual monitors, NEED HELP!

I recently had a problem with my Powerbook's screen. I ended up selling it to a 3rd party vendor and kept the powerbook as I though I would be able to use a external monitor and use the laptop as a desktop. However when I hook it up it doesn't show the login options. Obviously I do not have the external setting set to "mirror".
Is there anyway to make this switch with keyboard commands at the login screen? Anything else I could do that would allow me to fix this disaster?
Thanks,
Jeremy

If you push F7, does that toggle it to the external monitor?

hi
Using java Forums to maximum..
you just need to create a datasource object first
then call datasource.getConnection();
that will create u the connection

User enters the paremter for the year, need help converting that to date

Hello!
I have a report that asks for the user what data they want to see based on the year. They will then enter 2007 for example. My problem is that when I use that parameter in the where clause I get an error -
ORA-01722 Invalid Number
Here is the line of code -
AND (TRANSACTIONS.po_no IS NULL OR (TO_CHAR(req.open_date,'YYYY') ) = (TO_CHAR(:p_year,'YYYY')))
The :p_year is what I am referring to, I know if I hard code 2007 in there it works just fine. I've tired converting it to a char, converting it to a date, and even converting to a date and back to a char, but it is not working.
Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks!!

It all depends whether your input parameter is NUMBER, CHAR, DATE or SOMETHING_ELSE.
a) NUMBER
AND (TRANSACTIONS.po_no IS NULL OR
        TO_CHAR(req.open_date,'YYYY') = TO_CHAR(:p_year,'FM9999')
         )b)STRING
AND (TRANSACTIONS.po_no IS NULL OR
        TO_CHAR(req.open_date,'YYYY') = TRIM(:p_year)
         )c) DATE assumption then is 01.01. of this year)
AND (TRANSACTIONS.po_no IS NULL OR
        trunc(req.open_date,'year') = :p_year
         )d) something else - like not a bind variable but literal or script parameter
AND (TRANSACTIONS.po_no IS NULL OR
          (req.open_date >= to_date('01/01/&p_year','dd/mm/yyyy') AND
           req.open_date < to_date('31/12/&p_year','dd/mm/yyyy')+1
         )

Malware on New Helix (out of the box) / Need Help Accessing Recovery Partition

Since I can't do anything about #1 and #2 is a serious PITA and the machine is new out of the box (really), I thought I'd just restore the machine from the recovery partition.
However, I cannot seem to get the machine to boot to recovery mode.
Enter doesn't seem to do anything (that is the only keystroke suggested by the splash screen).
F12 gets me a boot menu but I don't see any recovery options. Selecting the Windows Boot Manager or the Hard Drive itself results in Windows 8 booting.
F1 gets me the BIOS. Though I imagine I might be able to set the recovery partition (which #?) to the #1 boot option, I absolutely should not have to do that.
Shift doesn't do anything (suggested elsewhere on these forums).
F2 doesn't do anything.
F11 doesn't do anything.
Esc doesn't do anything.
My older lenovo T61p had the ThinkVantage. I always thought that was pretty goofy but now I'm wishing I had a ThinkVantage.
BTW, Lenovo Support was USELESS. They told me to return the machine and transferred me to returns but since my folks were on vacation when it arrived, we are outside the 30 day window, returns wouldn't do an exchange. They opened a case with Customer Advocacy (never heard of that) but told me I wouldn't hear anything for 3-5 business days and there is no number, website, or email you can call to check your "Customer Advocacy" claim. That sounds a lot like GFY.

Hello.
Open up the Charms Bar - Settings - Click the Power Icon - Hold either Shift button down and press Restart. This will open up the Advanced Startup menu.
Cheers!

I cancelled the request of increasing the size of gmail in safari and it reloading continuously without entering the page, need help?

I want to know how to increase the size again?

Oh, thank you, I'm sorry, I hadn't understood what to do.
Everything about the animated image is now fixed brilliantly - the size, the alignment, and the bottom isn't cut off. Thank you.
The only thing I don't know what to do about now is how to have the static image load on ipad and iphone (because I understand that .swf files don't work on these devices). Currently the image doesn't load at all, it's blank space. Could you please advise how I should adapt the code to insert the static image if the device isn't flash compatible. The path of the static image is http://www.n2mediation.com/Fotolia_43355604_XL.jpg
Thank you
