Color and Laptop Screen Angle

While on vacation I'll download daily photos from a Rebel XTi to my MacBook to review them and delete those I don't want. However, when reviewing them on the MacBook the photo exposure and color saturation appear to change based on the angle of the MacBook screen. Since I'll sometimes use exposure bracketing this creates a problem when I'm trying to I'd like to make sure I select the best shot. Any suggestions in regards to determining the correct screen angle or how to work around this problem to make sure I get the best version of a photo?
Thanks.

Hi, Mark. The safest thing to do will be to keep all the pictures until you get back home and can inspect them on a monitor you're used to. If you can't do that, make a point of always looking at the pictures on the Macbook's display with the screen perpendicular to an imaginary line from your eyes to the center of the screen. Calibrate the display with the screen in that position, then be as consistent as possible about maintaining that angle whenever you're viewing your pictures.

Using ext monitor for timeline and laptop screen as preview?

is it possible that when i connect my external monitor to my macbook pro i can use the external for the timeline and the laptop screen for the previewing?
cheers

I'm trying to do this exact same thing and am coming to the conclusion that it is not possible given my setup. I have a MacBook Pro 2.2 Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB of RAM and a NIVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT Graphics Card. I'm running FCS 3 and all media is read from a 1TB Seagate 7200 SATA drive read through a SeriTek 2SM2 PCI card in the Express Slot.
You can easily arrange your monitors to do what you're asking (as outlined above), but the problem is the Graphics Card is not powerful enough to run both monitors and you will experience dropped frames with any HD codecs. I've tried XDCAM, DVCPROHD and ProRes 422 -- all dropped frames immediately. In fact, even if I use the "closed clamshell" mode, so the graphics card is powering ONLY the external monitor, I still get the same dropped frames issue. The only way I can edit or play back without dropped frames is by using NO external monitor whatsoever.
Is this a unique problem for me? Is there a solution to this? Would the new 17 inch i5's with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M (512MB) be able to power an external monitor?
EDIT: And the External Monitor is a Dell 2408WFP connected through the DVI port.

W520 wont display 2 external monitors and laptop screen

Hi everyone.
I have previously had 2 external monitors working as well as my W520's screen, so 3 screens in total. A few days ago Windows 7 crashed with a BSOD and now I can only connect 2 screens at once.
Everyhting seems to be connected correctly as far as i can tell
This is the error I now get when trying to activate the 3rd screen.
Is there another driver I need to install to reenable the laptop monitor to work along witht the two external screens?
Any help is appreciated.
Like the song says... 'you dont know what you've got till its gone'.
Thanks
shane

Why isn't the second Acer external monitor (2 of 2) "checked" as well?
Don't you want all three screens in use??
How DID you have your monitors connected before the BSOD problem caused your current situation? Do you have the two Acer monitors daisy-chained via DP from the DP connector out of the K1000M on the laptop? And you were also using the laptop screen as the third? If so, I'd think that all three boxes would need to be checked in nVidia Control Panel.

My Macbook pro 1,2 monitor and laptop screen goes black once in a while and then comes back on

Hello all,
Thank you very much for taking the time to view my issue. This issue just started about a month ago, I have a 22" LCD Monitor that I have been using, when this issue started the monitor would flicker and the screen would go black, but if I turned it off for a bit then turned it back on it would come back on. After a while it just started to go black and not come back on at all, so I decided to disconnect the monitor and use the notebook screen, I thought the monitor itself was broken. The notebook screen was working fine up until the last week, it is now doing the exact same thing, when my computer wakes up from being asleep it sometimes flickers then goes black, I can still faintly see the outline of the programs I have up but it is completely black. Sometimes it is a pain to get back on and I have to force shutdown and turn it back on to get it working. I am not sure what the problem is but I really want to get it fixed.
My Macbook Pro 1,2 is the first model made, but it was the best model available at the time. It has a Intel Core Duo 2.16GHz chip with 2GB of ram and a 160GB hard drive, it also has an ATI Radeon X1600 video card with 256mb of Vram. If anyone has any suggestions or resources I can use, I would greatly appreciate you sharing them with me.
Thank you very much in advance!
Sincerely,
Saggz.

Problem with AE CS5 and laptop screen resolution during install..

Hello everyone,
I bought AE and I am very disappointed. When I went to install the application, I got the following errors and it stopped installing.
Exit Code: 7
-------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
- 0 fatal error(s), 54 error(s), 52 warning(s)
WARNING: Display requirements not met for {DA1B174B-4297-467C-9EF8-0AB8D4D5171E}
WARNING: Payload cannot be installed due to dependent operation failure
My max screen resolution is 1366x768 and the requirement is 1280x1024.
I don't plan on buying a screen that large. Is there a fix for this? perhaps editing the registry? I won't mind the small work area. I can manage. does AE CS4 have this resolution requirement? I have an opengl capable graphics card in my laptop so I don't think that is an issue here. any help would be much appreciated. thanks

ok I think I was able to bypass the " Display requirements not met for {DA1B174B-4297-467C-9EF8-0AB8D4D5171E}" error during install. I hooked up an exteral monitor with the required resolution and I did not see that error message again. However, I am still getting the following error messages
<code>
WARNING: Payload cannot be installed due to dependent operation failure
</code>
could it be that my graphics card does not support opengl? how can I make sure it supports opengl 2.0?
the graphics card that I have is an integraded intel media graphics accelerator. I am quite sure it would support opengl2.0. any thoughts? thanks
My brother has a screen resolution of 1240x780 and yet he was able to install AE CS5 without any errors at all. He has an ATI mobility Raedon Graphics card. whats up with that? also, he cannot hear any sound from avi videos in AE. He has tried everything even raising the decibals level in the track.

Pavilion g7 laptop screen flashes colors and will not boot

When I power up my laptop, the screen flashes different colors and will not boot up

The service manual is for the G7 series notebook and is not exclusive to the g7-1368dx model. Different models within the G7 family uses different hardware and supports different hardware upgrade paths. This means that an item listed in the service manual is not necessarily supported for every model in the G7 family.
Is the notebook's product number A7A46UA?
If so, the motherboard this unit came with is the 649948-001 as listed in the service guide. All the parts for this unit can be found here.
I searched HP PartSurfer for the part number 669690-001, the A8 processor, and expanded the note at the bottom of the result page to see what units came with this processors. I reviewed three different models and each had the motherboard 649950-001.
The units that shipped with the A8 processor had a different motherboard than what the units that shipped with the A6 processor.
Due to A8 units having a different motherboard than the A6 units, I suspect that the motherboard your unit has does not actually support the A8 processor. Sorry.

Satellite P105-S6064: Colored vertical and horizontal white lines appearing on laptop screen.

Hello,
A few months ago, vertical lines started appearing on my laptop screen, the first was purple/green and they later increased in rapidly in number by the day and night and are about 70 currently. But today, white line apeared at once on the left side of the screen, covering upto three icons completely and they fade downwards (brighter/colourful at the top) and unlike the coloured, they appeared at once; and they also blink when the touchpad is touched as the display turns off (the power saver schedule/setting). I've been told about two weeks ago that the laptop was hit by something or fell and that I needed to start gathering some notes (money) to replace the screen. I'm not an expert and I don't know what to do please reply intelligently (helpfully).

You'd need to have it professionally serviced.

Crash screen: Random color and on waking up from sleep

I have a Mid-2010 13.3" MacBook Pro, and recently it has been giving me issues. I attempted to upgrade the RAM to 8gb, from the initial 4gb, but it didn't fully work, (the new 2x4gb sticks were at 1333 speed, and the max for a mid-2010 MBP is 1066.) I ran a 2gb and a 4gb stick for a while, (for a total of 6gb, and the MBP would automatically downclock the new 1333 stick to match the old 1066 stick.) then it became unstable and started crashing often after waking up from being closed (asleep.) So I took the 4gb stick out and ran on a 2gb stick until I could retrieve the other 2gb stick (I had left it somewhere,) but the crashing problems continued, and got weirder (It was no longer just a white or black screen on crashing, but I got a light blue, a green, and a dark blue screen when it would crash.
So last night I got my other 2gb stick back, and installed it (bringing it back to the original 4gb,) but it's still crashing. I tried blowing the insides out with compressed air to clear the dust out (including the RAM ports, so that they're clear of dust,) and now I'm getting new crash screen colors. I got a rapidly moving static one (where i could still see the wallpaper, but lots of lines were moving across,) and I got a magenta screen at another crash.
All of these crashes require a hard reboot (holding down the power button) to make the computer start again.
Any idea what's going on? This doesn't seem to be a super common problem. I assume it's RAM related, as I've had this laptop for the last two years without any problem, and within a week of installing a weird RAM configuration, it starts crashing all the time.
Any help would be appreciated muchly, thank you!

I am going to add my problem to this as I believe it fits and may add to the conversation.
I have a MacBook Pro, am using Parallels, and have an issue waking it up from sleep.
Circumstances:
I close the lid and walk away from the device in my office. When I return, (over night or an hour later) I open the lid, and if nothing happens swipe the touchpad or press a key, the power light changes from pulsating to steady. then in less than 15 seconds it goes back to pusating. The display never energizes, only remain black.
I usually try opening and closing several times, and occaisionally that will work. Other times, I hold the power key until I hear the drive halt, then turn it on. The grey screen will display, then blue, then just before it gets to the log in, the screen goes black (not energized) and the light pulsates.
I have tried the PRAM reset and Safe Mode starts with no luck.
*Now the really wierd thing.* I decieded to contact Apple support on line and pay for help (yes that is weird in an of itself for me). As I began the process it came to the part for me to enter my serial number. With the lid open, I turned the MacBook on its side to try to read the number and the screen energized and the password unlock prompt was waiting for me to enter the password.
Observations
I had read where the light sensor could be blocked by dirt or the light in the room was too dim, but I clean the screen and there is plenty of light. Dales Post is the first that I have seen Parallels and the Sudden Motion Sensor. That makes some sense to me because of what happened when I turned it on its side. I have verified that it happens regardless of using Parallels. as teh last time I did it I had closed out of all my VMs and I believe exited Parallels.
I am going to try the deleting the power preferences file and will report back.

Read: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4436
It is pretty short so here is the entire text:
Symptoms
A purplish or other colored flare, haze, or spot is imaged from out-of-scene bright light sources during still image or video capture.
Resolution
Most small cameras, including those in every generation of iPhone, may exhibit some form of flare at the edge of the frame when capturing an image with out-of-scene light sources. This can happen when a light source is positioned at an angle (usually just outside the field of view) so that it causes a reflection off the surfaces inside the camera module and onto the camera sensor. Moving the camera slightly to change the position at which the bright light is entering the lens, or shielding the lens with your hand, should minimize or eliminate the effect.

Okay before my ipod power and volume buttons werent working but i never dropped it, then one day i was in a app and my ipod froze so i held the home button down and the screen went a bright green color and isnt showing up in itunes

okay I just recently bought a ipod touch 4thG and im already having issues. recently the power and volume buttons stopped working after i syncd my ipod, i shrugged it off figuring it would come back i could live without it. but today I was on my ipod while it was charging and the screen just froze so i pressed and held the home button (being that's the only button that actually works) then the screen turned this bright yellowish lime green color and its not responding to ANYTHING! my computer isnt even reading it when i plug it up into itunes! so what should i do? can anyone help me? i feel like i just wasted $200...

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Why is my internet search page gray? I am able to search a topic, but the 'results' part of the screen is a medium gray color and it won't respond. Any ideas?

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
