Colors on external monitor are all wrong

I have a hp 2710m that i bought to connect to my Macbook Aluminum 13". I have tried Apple color calibration and the colors are still not right. The reds are really really fake and bright especially and the image looks kinda flat. I am using HDMI to connect it.
Any recommendations for other ways to calibrate it? HP's sight isn't very helpful toward macs.
Thanks.

HUGE VIDEO PROBLEM! The colors are all wrong! Quicktime Gamma Bug!

I'm on a Mac, and there is a huge problem with video. When you view or playback videos, the color is all wrong! It's desaturated and faded. If you import your videos into premiere or playback through vlc, then everything looks correct. If you play them back or edit them in lightroom, the colors are all wrong.
Nice try Adobe, but you failed.

Ok, but we'll need more details.
Your OS version, how you calibrate your monitor, whether you see the same playing through Quicktime standalone on your Mac, what camera the videos came from, whether they've been edited in other software, etc.
This is a beta so there will be bugs - that information could help narrow down and fix issues such as these.

Monitor has weird, pixelated colors, but external monitor looks fine

I have a MacBook Pro. It is a couple of years old. Recently the monitor started fritzing out. At first it would happen only happen when I ran windows through boot camp. A couple of days later, it began happening in os x too.The screen seems to be operating on a reduced amount of colors, a preponderance of green and everything is pixelated. There are blobby shaped circles of rainbow all over the desktop. Windows on top of the desktop look better, but still way too green and pixelated. All parts of the screen are equally bad. I tried changing all the settings in display. Also ran disc utility. The display on the external monitor looks fine. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Some MBP have bad nVidea graphics chips that can do wheat you describe, except it usually affects an external monitor as well. It's covered by a warranty extension program here:

Thinkpad T60p with Win XP - Lost color on external monitor (only black & white)

Hi, I have a ThinkPad T60P, and a couple of weeks ago, I lost color on my external monitor (connected by VGA cable)
I have done a lot of testing, and found a couple of strange things around this:
* when using docking station with two monitors, only monitor nr "1" inCatalyst Control Center shows colors, but not "2".
* When using external monitor (or projector) I don't get color
* When showing video on the external monitor, color works(!) This is only on some type of videos, I think. Flash videos (ie. YouTube does not show colors)
* When getting a bluescreen, the external monitor displays bluescreen with colors. When rebooting after bluescreen, colors were working while booting (windows logo with colors), but as soon as XP was up, colors were gone(!)
* I have tried updating to the latest graphics driver (79d533ww.exe), and all the settings in Catalyst Control Center / Control Panel
As a result of these findings, I beleive it must be a software problem, but since upgrading the drivers didn't work, I don't know what to try next.
I see also that there are other people experiencing the same problems, but I can't find any solution to this problem.

Cats seem to have a strong affinity for that display mode — remarkably often we hear that they've typed in the correct keystroke combo for it, and yet they never seem to set it back to normal after using the computer. Not very considerate, but you know cats: consideration isn't part of the package.

External Monitor Viewing - ALL FRAMES Unchecked

Hello FCP gurus
I cannot get a video signal on my external monitor.
For some reason I have lost the ability to check the ALL FRAMES option in the View Menu under External Video. Each time I click ALL FRAMES it stays in the OFF mode. I think this may be the reason for the external picture loss? I have also just relocated my edit suite so somewhere in the move I might have upset the 'workflow'. Not sure, can't see why? Before today I was getting an external picture no problem.
The configuration I have is: A Firewire connection from the Hard Drive to a DV Cam (PD150). RCA Vid connector from the cam into a domestic TV.
I have followed all of Shane's #8 Stock Answer and still nudda!!
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!

P.S. I work in Pal
#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane's Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

Heck, I don't know, but reading your question helped me to finally figure out how to get my external monitor working.
Would it be okay to add to your question. Now that I have mine working the audio goes through the monitor instead of my nice Cerwin-Veg speakers. Is there a way to fix that?
P.S. Have you tried a power down, hooking up the monitor and then coming back up?

Color on external monitor is green.

I have an external monitor connected to my Mac Pro. About a week ago for some unknown reason the color is green. I fought the monitor was gone and bought a new one. After connecting it the same problem persists. Does anyone know how to correct this problem?

Hello OliB67,
It may help to reset your Mac's NVRAM, as detailed in the article below.

Should your display still appear green, there may be an issue with the display cable or display adapter in use.

Calendar times from Outlook are all wrong on my Iphone

I am using MobileMe to sync an Outlook 2003 calendar to an Iphone. I have timezone support enabled on MobileMe and the Iphone. The event times are all correct in Outlook and MobileMe, but all seem to be shifted 8 hours forward on the Iphone. We are in Pacific Time Zone (GMT-8), so the 8-hour shift is either a coincidence or somehow the source of the problem. Seems like the calendar events are displaying in GMT time on the Iphone, even though the Iphone TZ is set to PST (San Francisco).
For kicks, I synced another IPhone to the MobileMe account and the calendar events were shifted 8 hours on the second Iphone as well. So it seems to be something to do with MobileMe-Iphone connection. If thats the case, shouldn't these two products "just work" since they are both Apple products?
This is extremely frustrating since we have come to rely on our Iphone calendars, so any help much appreciated.

P.S. Include music videos IS checked within the iTunes music synch tab.

Safari 4 Loses Webpage Color with External Monitor

Hey All,
So I have a Dell 22 inch monitor plugged in with my MacBook Pro. When ever it is plugged in and I run safari the second I start scrolling down on a page the color fades. If I hit to select all then the color reappears. I only noticed this start happening when Safari 4 came out of beta. I have tried resetting the PRAM with no luck.
Any suggestions???

Anyone else checked their financial reports yet? Mine are all wrong?!

Hi everyone...
the first finacial reports are coming in and I had a quick look at them.
In my reports the total units sold just don't add up to the units previously reported. There is a gap of 10-30% missing units How can this be?
Furthermore, the report for Europe lists all the same countries as the "rest of world" like Russia and Croatia...
This seems like it's going totally wrong here...
Anyone else who can confirm this?
Best regards,
Markus.

Brent,
this sounds like a good point. I've never thought of that! To me, this sounds pretty plausible...
As for the hard copy invoices: I received an e-mail today that we in fact have to send a paper invoice. It was no mistake or joke. Got something to do with tax-regulation inside the EC. Here's the text from my e-mail:
<cite>
VAT invoices are required by your government's tax authorities, and not from any requirement of Apple. To be paid for Europe, you need to send two invoices, one for GBP and one for EUR in the amount indicated on your Financial Reports.
You may send a soft copy of the invoices by email to iTunes Royalty at [email protected], but we must also get a hard copy due to VAT regulations in some countries. It is important that the billing address stated on the invoice is Luxembourg but the address you post the invoices to is Ireland.
Billing Address:
[snip...same adresses as in the other posts]
All invoices for GBP and EUR sales have to be stated at 0% VAT.

Iphone calendar colours are all wrong

Dear All,
I'm having an issue with my iPhone 3G (running OS 3).
My iCal and MobileMe Calendar sync correctly, with the right colours. But on my iPhone the colours have arrived all shuffled around.
The details are correct (information, dates, times) - it's just the colours.
I'm assuming that a 'reset sync data' won't help, since my computer and MobileMe seem to be communicating correctly ...
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Roger

Seems to be an issue with the iOS 4 - this was a problem with an old version of the iPhone OS and an older iTunes, fixed over a year ago, and now it seems to have returned.
Here's the kbase that discusses it: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1925. Originally, that article's 'solution' said the behavior was normal. When they fixed it, they changed the solution.

How large of a external monitor are you running?

What is the largest size monitor and resolution you guys are running on a imac g5 isight ( if you have one). I want to see how large I can go.

I think it might be fine for showing video. Probably not good for computing purposes, where it has to display things like text. An HDTV of that size would be 1080p, which is 1920x1080. So even if you could use the whole display, it would not be the native resolution. Most 23" to 24" displays are 1920x1200, which is the same resolution as the Intel 24" iMac models. Again, even if you could use the whole display, it would be fuzzy because its not the native resolution.
And the output is VGA, not adaptable to HDMI or DVI (digital) like on Intel iMacs, so the HDTV or computer display would need to have VGA input. I know someone who has a 19" display that is native 1440x900, and has both DVI and VGA inputs. It's a Samsung 906BW. He likes it because the pixels are not too small; helps with his vision. I think that's about as large as they come at a native 1440x900, and that's only two inches bigger than the iMac's built-in display.
You're probably better off putting the funds for a display toward a used, new, or refurb Intel iMac (or maybe a Mac mini).

Cffileupload_swf.js parameters are all wrong

I am running ColdFusion on Windows. The version information is shown below. When implementing cffileupload the attributes specified get mismanaged when CF invokes cffileupload_swf.js If I specify extensionfilter values, that ends up getting prefixed to the swf movie causing flash not to load the movie. I found this out using Firebug. When I excluded the filter I was able to get the upload swf to display but the clear button actually labels itslef with the session information. See the included screen shot. Has anyone else experienced this behavior or have a work around, i.e. updated version of cffileupload_swf.js
FYI, I have not changed the location of CFIDE and scripts folders. They are in the default location.

Dates for import are all wrong

Hiya - I have been trying to import clips made last week. The date is correct but the year is 2009. They will put themselves into a 2009 event folder with other projects in. I have tried to create a 2010 event folder and drag the project into it but it just doesn't want to do it.
Any ideas as to why iMovie does not see the clips as 2010 and how I can make them appear in a 2010 project??

iMovie tries to recognize when the camera recorded the video, not when it was imported. You may wish to check the camera's settings to see if they are up-to-date. Here's some background, and a way to adjust the clip's date (don't do it with a project that you've already edited without taking precautions).
