Change default display profile (colors are horrible)

Hi there,
A few weeks ago I baught a 15" Macbook Pro, but then I noticed the colors were horrible. Way too much brown/gray. I'm not exaggerating. Compared to my normal monitor it look's awfull, and compared to other Macbooks too!
So I tried to make my own color profile, and it looks better. Still not as perfect as it should be... Maybe go back to the store?
Anyways, I want to override the default color profile with my profile, so the Login screen and other accounts have more realistisc colors. Couldn't find any simple way to do that.
Could anybody help me? I'm new to OSX.

How can I get these back ?

Changing the display profile for multiple users at once.

Is it possible to change the display profile for multiple users at once? We would like ot be able ot add tabs and channels globally, but right now we can anly do it for once user at a time. Also, is it possible to have certain generic display profiles that all users use? like an admin profile and a tech support profile and a normal suer profile? Any help is appreciated...

Yes this possible using the dpadmin batch command.
Please check the dpadmin documentation for the batch command.
For generic display profile what you can do is create users and assign the user particular roles. The display you would be creating would be for the roles. The users belonging to that role would inherit that display profile.

Change Default Soft Proof Color – Illustrator CS5.1

Short Question:
How to change the default soft color proof setting in Illustrator CS5.1?
Backstory:
Every time a document is opened in Illustrator CS5.1, it defaults to Working CMYK soft color proof. For those that work in web, the default soft proof color space of CMYK results in dull colors. This means that every time a new document is opened, the soft color proof settings need to be changed manually. There's got to be a way to change the default soft color proof settings in Illustrator? I know it's possible in Photoshop already.
Many Thanks!

You could try if either a custom Workspace or Document profile does the trick:

Change default display to external

How do I set my external display as my "default" display (so everything appears on it instead of the laptop's display)?

System Prefs>Monitors
There you have the two schematic monitors.
You can change the position of the monitors and grab the menu bar and drag it to the other monitor.

Why are thunderbolt display camera colors are not accurate?

The colors while using the camera are very purple. Using facetim when I switch to the MBP camera, the colors are fine. This is a new display and because I did not discover the issue until after 15 days, apple will not exchange it. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I had a similar issue with an iSight G5 about a year ago. The colors began to go funky on the screen and I ran every test I could think of. The situation gradually worsened and I finally put the iMac to rest in a back room in my basement. The hard drive still works and the information is accessible on it and I have retrieved just about everything I can think of from it. The computer didn't die, but the monitor did. An iMac without a working monitor is kind of useless.
I'm guessing your iMac is fairly old - by today's standards anyway - and even if the monitor issue can be resolved, it may not be worth the cost. You would have to find that out on your own at an Apple Store or a Mac repair shop.
Maybe it can be repaired .... and this is just my opinion .... but I would find a nice recycling place to lay the Mac to rest and buy a new one.

Change default Model - HP Color LaserJet 4550 PS

I want to be able to use the 2-sided printing capabilities of my Canon MP600. I was unable to share this printer from my Mac G4 to my Vista laptop without using Bonjour. However, Bonjour sets the printer model as HP Color LaserJet 4550 PS and I can't find a duplex printing option on this. Is there a way to change the printer model or another way to share this printer from my Mac to my vista laptop without Bonjour?

Hi AFace; hope you are doing well and sorry to hear that you are having this issue.
Your HP Color Laserjet CM1015 MFP is a commercial product. I will suggest posting and looking in the forum for HP Business Support for a better chance at finding a prompt solution.
You may find the commercial Laserjet board here.

How to view/change "default' display format

Hi all,
I have created some dashboards in Oracle Answers and I have this strange "problem". The report A which was created by another developer and has a numeric column shows the data with different format than the numeric columns in report B created by me... I see no difference at the properties of the cells at the reports. All are set to "default" and the data cell is set to "Number". What am I missing here? Can I see somewhere (where?) the default settings?
Please let me know if this is clear.
Thank you in advance.

this is because of the system wide default settings for a particular data type which is set by going to column properties in the criteria tab of report and then click save and chosing save as system wide default for this data type. you can modify the settings as per your need.
the formatting options for columns are stored in xml file in web catalog. the location of xml files is OracleBIData/web/catalog/catalog_name/root/system/metadata
Assign correct if found helpfull.

Missing Display Profile

I got this iBook in early September. It's been great except for one thing--the default display profile, Color LCD, goes missing and it reverts to Generic RGB profile in the display preferences. This causes the display to look faded with a bluish tint. The computer has 2 accounts--an admin and a standard account. When I log in under the admin account the display is ok and properly set to Color LCD in the display preferences. The problem seems to occur when I log in under the standard account. It will revert to Generic RGB and the Color LCD profile is not available in the display preferences. I switch back to the admin account and the same setting is in the display preferences--set to Generic RGB and Color LCD is not to be found. Restarting temporarily resolves the problem. I have repaired permissions, but this did not fix it.

You might have to just reinstall the system.
Otherwise I guess try the Calibrate?
GOD Bless and Good luck.

Display profiles via a pull down menu from menu bar?

I'm often switching my display profiles on my iBook-- depending on sunlight, lighting conditions, etc.
Is there any software or Apple setting that would give me a pull down menu of my choices from the menu bar?
Right now I have the monitors or whatever it is on my menu bar, but that requires multiple steps-- selecting Displays Preferences, waiting for it to come up, then clicking on the Color Tab, and finally picking one of the display profiles.
I'd much rather have a one-step pull down menu. Anything like that?
Also what does "Recent Items" mean in that menu?

Open the AppleScript Utility in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and check the box to display the script menu. One of the choices in the script menu under ColorSync will enable you to change your display profile. If you know the names and paths of the profiles, additional scripts can be created that would change it in a single step. The lines of code needed are:
tell application "ColorSyncScripting"
run
set display profile of display 1 to alias "path:to:profile"
quit
end

ColorSync - Display Profile Affect Importing?

Hi,
I hope someone can answer this question for me. When you import photos into iPhoto, does your current Display Profile (in System Preferences) have any affect on the ColorSync profile added to your photos? For example, if you imported one batch of photos, then changed your Display Profile, would photos imported from then on have a different ColorSync profile put into them? Or does it not matter?
I really want to start importing photos into iPhoto, but I'm very concerned that my current Display Profile will get embedded into every single photo.

It only adds a profile to a file if that file does not already contain one. If the file has a profile assigned by the camera iPhoto does not override the existing profile.
However, if you edit a file and then drag it to the Desktop it will contain the profile that the monitor is set to. I just ran a test on two files that were stripped of their profile, imported into iPhoto, edited and then dragged to the desktop. I had previously set my monitor to the Adobe RGB profile and the end image files contained the Adobe profile.
Bottom line is: the original file imported must not have a profile assigned and be edited before iPhoto will assign one (to the modified file).
At least that's what's happening on my present setup. You can check it out if you have any files without a profile. I used i iView MediaPro to strip the profile from the files for my tests. You can download and use it in the demo mode to run tests yourself. User the Action->Manage Color Profiles menu option.
NOTE: On another test just now, with *iPhoto's option to embed a profile unchecked*, iPhoto still embeds a profile into the modified versions. Very strange.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Memory Leak in Preview.app when switching Display Profiles

I found a weird memory leak in Max OS X Preview.app, which manifests itself when Display profiles (color calbration) is change. I wonder if anyone else can reproduce my experience.
1. Open up "System Preferences" -> "Displays", switch to the "Color" tab. You'll need at least 2 available profiles in the list. (If you only have 1, you can create another using "Calibrate..." button to launch Display Calibration Assistant.
2. Open an image file in Preview.app. The larger, the better. Zoom in full size to maximize the effect of the bug. I repro'ed easily with this image: http://www.donporter.net/NewSchool/Color/Examples/Printer%20Test%20file.jpg
3. Open up "Activity Monitor.app", and click on Preview to highlight it, so you can watch its memory usage.
4. Switch back to "Diplays" Preference Pane. Using the arrow keys, toggle up and down between two different Display profiles.
4a. At the same time, watch Preview's "Real Mem" in Activity Monitor, as well as the total "Active" memory.
5. Each time you switch profiles, Preview consumes more Active/Real memory, about 25MB per switch in my case. This continues until all physical memory is consumed, and then (I presume) starts swapping virtual memory to disk.
6. Bring Preview to foreground, and all the profile-induced memory usage is freed.
Weird, wild stuff.

Could it be possible that this is just the OS holding the memory for the app until another process requires it? Do you find that the memory increase eventually causes the app to become unstable?
It might be best to open a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com. When adding the bug, please include any source code, project or installer that will help us reproduce the issue internally. If you'd like to keep your code private, feel free to email it directly to [email protected] Once entered, please post back with the URL so that others effected can add their comments and votes.
