Color on a macbook

I know that technically my macbook (2.16 GHz, 64 MB integrated Intel Graphics Processor) is underpowered for running Color, but I'm hoping there are some things I can do with it--seeing as how I can do some color correcting in FCP.
I tried the trick mentioned here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1550228&start=0&tstart=0
and that worked for actually getting Color to open up, but now I can't get it to actually playback my video, can someone help me out here
By the way, I'm working with 1920x1080i AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) video footage from a Canon HF11

Stick with the 3-way color corrector, or if you want greater control, look into COLORISTA, by www.redgiantsoftware.com.
Far less complex than Color, and does pretty well. Color correct right in FCP. And it has secondaries.

    hi FalconMom,
    EWS stands for Embedded Web Server.  You will be able to access the printer EWS if it is connected to the same network as your PC or notebook.  Here are the instructions to connect to EWS.
    Open the embedded Web server
    You can access the embedded Web server via either the network or Wi-Fi Direct.
    To open the embedded Web server via network
    NOTE: The printer must be on a network and must have an IP address. The IP address for the
    printer can be found by pressing the Wireless icon or by printing a network configuration page.
     In a supported Web browser on your computer, type the IP address or hostname that has been assigned to the printer.   For example, if the IP address is 192.168.0.12, type the following address into a Web browser:
    http://192.168.0.12.
    To open the embedded Web server using Wi-Fi Direct
     From the Home screen, touch (Wireless) and then touch (Settings).
     If the display shows that Wi-Fi Direct is Off, touch Wi-Fi Direct and then switch it on.
     From your wireless computer, turn wireless on, search for and connect to the Wi-Fi Direct name,
    for example: DIRECT-**- HP Officejet-5740 (where ** are the unique characters to identify your
    printer). Enter the Wi-Fi Direct password when prompted.
     In a supported Web browser on your computer, type the following address: http://192.168.223.1.

  • Color Calibration / New Macbook Displays?

    Can the new glass, glossy displays on the MacBook and MacBook Pro systems be color calibrated (e.g., using Colorvision's Spyder or Pantone's Huey calibration tools)?
    I was under the impression from Apple that only the matte displays on the MacBook Pro's were capable of proper color calibration. However, it does not appear that a matte screen is even an option now.

    Not sure about the specificity of those devices myself, but IMO the colors on LCDs are not constant, especially at slight viewing angles, so calibration doesnt really do much. Unless you position yourself in the EXACT same position every time, you will get slightly different colors, contrasts, brightness, etc.

  • What about to run color on a macbook black

    sorry, i dont know much abou color but, i just buy a macbook black, its recomended to run color on my computer????
    thanks..

    You will not be able to run Color on this machine. Color only supports certain video cards, you do not have nearly enough video RAM in your system, and Color requires a minimum display resolution of 1680x1050 which the MacBook does not support (meaning the interface will be tiny and barely readable).
    There is a tweak here for getting it to start up if you don't meet the minimum requirements, but I don't think the application will be usable on a MacBook:

  • Pink color cast on macbook pro 15" with retina display

    Hi,
    I just got my very first apple computer a few weeks ago, but I had a annoying pink color cast of the display.
    I changed my first deivce but even the 2nd had the same issue..
    I noticed, that even the Apple logo shines in a pink cast, so it seems to be an issue of the display light itself.
    Trying to calibrate the display with a spyder did not work, i got a very strange green color cast what seems to be clear, if the main problem is not the display itself,
    but the display light.
    I went to the Apple Sore in Hamburg and I found out, that all new macbook pros 15" with retina display had the same issue, but not older macbooks or some  macbook pro 15" with retina display from clients.
    As a photographer, I find this pink cast very annoying and I gave back my 2nd macbook pro 15" with retina display..
    Is there a way, to get a macbook pro 15" with retina display without a pink cast, where the Apple logo shines in pure white instead of a pink color cast?
    I don´t want a pink apple logo, nor a display with a pink cast..

    WOW 0_o
    Go back and get another one.. They will certainly try and make your day better by offering free items, try to get Apple Care free.
    In all my time as being a technician I am going to have to put you on a list I have prestigiously placed for situations like these.

    Basically.. It's a list of all the people that have had to get a computer / part replaced and received the same issue again after the replacement.
    HERE IT IS:
    3x Logic board replacement (Warranty). I had to replace three logic boards for this one poor sod that had the same issue over and over again. In the end Apple gave him a whole new computer.

    Hi, Presuming it's a New MBP, take it back and get it repaired under warranty.
    If by some strange turn of fate you have an older first gen. MBP with the ATI graphics chip then may be read through and join this Topic: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1697470 You might also want to get on to bennettvonbennett mailing list (subject MBP ATI issues).
    If it is a MBP with the ATI X1600 GPU I can recommend "Fan Control" to help with (but not cure) the issue/defect.
    For all older MBP1,1 owners... keep talking to Apple... send feed back, join the petition, email Apple PR, if we all go quiet, nothing will happen!

  • How to choose the Color of your MacBook ?

    Hi,
    I want to buy a white MacBook pro with 15 inches.
    This is not available at this time.
    Why we can't customise the MacBook's hull?
    I demand to have the choose between black, grey and white for each MacBook's hull.
    Other OS Ubuntu Linux

    The MacBooks are offered in white or black... the Pro is offered in silver/gray (the color of the aluminum casing). As an earlier post indicated, there are vendors that will do this for you. They're a bit expensive, but they do a good job.
    The newest MacBook Pro is probably the best notebook out there for the price. No one else puts out something similar in the same price range. While it might be nice to be able to pick from several colors, the color really shouldn't be a primary factor in your purchase decision.

  • What is wrong with the colors on my Macbook screen?

         I was watching YouTube on my Macbook Pro 13 inch with retina display last night and all of the sudden the color scheme became strange: the colors are all faded and "off", almost infrared. Occasionally the colors will flicker and return to normal but will revert back to the strange colors within another minute. I haven't dropped it anytime recently and when connected to my tv via HDMI chord the colors display normal on the television screen. Does anyone know what might be the problem and possibly how to fix it? I got the laptop new a year and one month ago.

    Probably the display connection is loose.  If you have the issue with the internal display and external display you
    have an issue with the graphics card on your system board.  In either case your Mac should be checked out at
    an Apple dealer.

  • Why won't my hp photosmart premium all-in-one printer - c309g print in color from my macbook air?

    It prints from a Dell laptop and a Tobshiba laptop but not from my Mac

    Hello,
    Thanks for the post.  We may have a couple of issues here, were you able to sucessfully download and install the drivers on your system?  Are you using the correct printer in your print and fax?  Since you can print color sucessfully from two other PC's, I would suspect a setting on your MAC.  I've included a link below where you can download the drivers for this product.  Good Luck!

  • How do you fix colored lines on Macbook Pro with Retina Display?

         I have had my Macbook Pro 13" Retina display for over a year now, I recently opened it up and there were several green and blue lines running down the screen.  When I apply pressure to the bottom of the screen, where the black border is, some of the lines disappear.  It is progressively getting worse.  I don't believe it suffered any trauma.  It is a problem with the screen, not the GPU or anything else.  I was hoping there is a way to fix it without have to spend over $300 to get the screen replaced.  It is not under warranty.  Any advice?

    That's why Apple no longer sells disks. All its software is now available on the App Store. So you can either purchase/download the iWork components from there, or, if you have access to another Mac with an optical drive, share the DVD from that across the network (System Preferences - Sharing - turn CD/DVD sharing on) and install that way.

  • How to adjust the color profile on Macbook Pro/IMAC for Brother printers?

    Hi,
    We have both iMACs and MacbookPro w/Leopard 10.5.4 in our office. They also run the Parallels software with Windows XP. We have 2 color printers in the office, a Canon and a Brother 4070cdw. When I make a color print, the output looks very different from the 2 printers. The Brother printer produce very light copies, almost look like there's a white wash over it. I called Brother and went through all kinds of test and they finally said it's not the printer, but the color setting on the Mac. I didn't believe them at first, but then i did a test. I print a color page from the WindowsXP side on my Mac, and print the same page from the Mac side, and the results are very surprising. They look very different, like from 2 different printers; again, the one form MAc is very light.
    I then opened up "system perferences" and tried to play around with the different color profiles under "Display". But the changes did not affect the print outcome much. Please help. Thank you very much.

    To prepare a computer for sale or donation, in addition to the steps mentioned in this support article, take these steps:
    If you set a firmware password, remove it by running Firmware Password Utility in Recovery mode.
    If you activated FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.
    If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted
    If you created any other data partitions on the internal drive, remove them in Disk Utility.
    Erase the data partition(s) with the option to zero out data. An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
    You can't legally or practically transfer any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. That includes OS X, so if you paid for an upgrade OS X 10.7 or later, you must reinstall  the original OS, either from the installation media, if applicable, or by booting into Internet Recovery (option-command-R at the startup chime.)
    The new owner will have to repurchase the software, if need be, under his or her Apple ID. If you ever updated the bundled iLife applications (Garage Band, iMovie, and iPhoto) through the App Store, you can't transfer them either.
    Remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it's still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the coverage to the new owner by following the instructions in the AppleCare Terms and Conditions (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

  • Default Color Settings on Macbook Pro Retina

    Hi All,
    I am using a 15" MBP Retina. I plugged it to a projecter and I think it kind of changed my display settings and I don't know what they were. What is the default color setting that comes with this ? Is it Color LCD (In System Preferences -> Display -> Color) ?
    Thanks.

  • Crazy colorful crash on MacBook

    I'm consistently seeing a very colorful graphic crash with iTunes, seems to be when I've come back to it after the machine has been asleep for a while. Very entertaining, haven't seen stuff like this since System 7 or so;
    http://tinyurl.com/ufvco
    Anyone else seeing this?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Macbook Pro Core i5 and Color

    Hi
    I've never used Color on a Macbook Pro, only on a Mac Pro
    Anyone out there running Color on the new Core i5 Macbook Pros? How does it run? Is there an improvement over the previous generation?
    I'm not after stats/benchmarks, I want real world feedback from users please.
    Thanks

    Hi g,
    If you want feedback from the people who use that model of MBP, you'd do far better posting in the forum for those machines, MBP 2009 and later (this area is for the Original MBP). Good luck.

    Pictures would help. A good way to do this is to post them to a free photo sharing site like Flickr and then post a link.
    Also, you are in the original MBP section, and I think you need to post your question in the newer MBP section:
