Display color changes when I start some applications.

Hello.
Today I reinstalled OSX 10.8.1.
All applications are up2date.
But some applications like iPhoto have a strange behavior. When I start them, the display color changes. It looks like it has a blue fog.
As soon as I close the application it's back to normal. Only happens for a few applications.
In the console I see the following entires when I start the application and the display changes:

I had the same problem early on in Mountain Lion - whenever an application kicked in that used the discrete GPU, the screen would get a bluish tint. I 'resolved' the situation by using Cody Krieger's gfxCardStatus and kept the mode on Integrated Only. This, of course, slowed down some applications but, by and large, I was able to live with it. Then one day - just out of the 'blue' - I decided to switch back to Dynamic Switching: and, lo and behold, by blue tint was gone when the discrete GPU kicked in.
I only know how to temporarily fix the problem - you're one of about a dozen people that have reported it both here and in the Adobe Photoshop users forum. Try the gfxCardStatus 'fix' and then see if the problem doesn't rectify itself after a bit. It wasn't the 10.8.1 update that fixed my problem - it was just a week or so of running on integrated only.
Let me know if this doesn't work for you...

Display color changes when Photoshop opens

Hi there,
Since recently, whenever I open Photoshop CS6 (13.0.1) or Illustrator CS6 (16.1.0), the display color changes, i.e. as if the display color profile termporarily changes to a different one. Even if I switch to another app, the color change will remain until I quite Photoshop or Illustrator. Using Mac OS 10.8.2.
Does anyone anyone have an idea how to prevent this from happening?
Thanks!

The color shift happens when the computer changes the graphics card (from Intel HD to Nvidia or AMD). It's a problem of Mac OS X 10.8.x. I found a simple solution that worked (at least for me):
Turn off automatic graphics switching in System Preferences > Energy Saver
Reboot your computer
Turn automatic graphics switching on again (or leave it off, as you like ...)
It seems that the mac has to start up with the discreet graphics card turned on (Nvidia or AMD).

Im the photographer... the display color change when i upgrade to SL..

I m a photographer, after i upgraded to SL, all my black and white photo are yellowish. The black are not total black and the white are not total white like in os x 10.5.x. Are any others photographer upgrade their os and face this problem too?

Check that the correct profile is selected for your display (in Sys. Prefs. -> Display -> Color)
After installing SL mine was not set to the correct profile. I fixed it, and it has remained set to the correct one since.

Powernowd cpu making noise when start some application

When I start some application my cpu is making noise. Is this because of powernowd.
I recently started using powernowd. Below is the default settings.
powernowd: PowerNow Daemon v1.00, (c) 2003-2008 John Clemens
powernowd: Found 2 scalable units: -- 1 'CPU' per scalable unit
powernowd: cpu0: 800Mhz - 2401Mhz (4 steps)
powernowd: cpu1: 800Mhz - 2401Mhz (4 steps)

Are you sure your CPU makes the noise. I've never heard that CPU's make any noise. Isn't it rather the fan which makes the noise? That could very well be the case, since powernowd is intended to adjust cpu frequency scaling, i. e. reduce cpu threshold if it is not needed. If you then start an application, the cpu may be forced into a higher threshold, which produces heat, so that the fans have to kick in in order to reduce cpu temperature.

My screen temperature changes when I launch some apps

I have a problem. It started when I switched to an SSD and changed the RAM, but I think it's a software issue. It stopped for a while and then cambe back again.
Basically when I start some apps (and not everytime, sometimes it does sometime it doesn't), like Byword, Lightroom, Keynote, Pixelmator, Pages, for example, but never Safari to name one, the screen temperature suddenly changes to a colder tone. When I close all these apps the screen turns back to the normal warm temp.
Running the console I think I have found the issue is related with this message, which pops in when I open and close these apps:
10/28/12 10:37:39.217 PM WindowServer[75]: Received display connect changed for display 0x4272dc0
I'm posting two photos from my camera to make you see the problem, as it doesn' obviously show in screenshots:
Warm:
Cold:
Does anyone know hot solve this or to what it might be related (video card is what comes to my mind, but I refuse to aknwledge that my hard drive, RAM and video card failed at the same time)?
Thanks
(Also my Mac takes 30s+ to go to sleep)

This sounds like an issue with the System Management Controller (SMC). 1). Shutdown your MacBook Pro, 2). Make sure the MagSafe adapter is connected, 3). Press and hold the LEFT Option+Control+Shift keys on the MacBook Pro keyboard, 4). While still holding the previous keys, hit the power button in the top right corner. It won't look like your Mac did anything, but trust me, it did. You just reset the SMC. Now boot the Mac normally. Wait for it to fully boot-up, and then see if this is still an issue. I had this very same issue on my MacBook Pro after the latest SMC update, and resetting the SMC fixed it.

I can no longer start some applications (i.g. Office and Photoshop)

Hi!
Since a few weeks i can no longer start some applications in Mac OS Tiger that worked perfectly before:
- The complete Microsoft Office suite (incl. Update)
- Finale PrintMusic
- Adobe Photoshop
When I try to start them, their symbols just jump some times in the dock and then disappear again.
I deinstalled Finale PrintMusik in order to reinstall it afterwards. But when I double-click the install-file from the cd it's the same: it jumps and disappears.
I repaired my permissions, ran the daily, weekly and monthly scripts and reset the P-RAM.
Any ideas?
Thanks

This problem occurred for many people after updating to QuickTime 7.2, and was traced to Java 6:

If that isn't the case for you, you might be able to fix the problem just by updating prebindings:

I want to know why display core dump when arch starts!

I want to know why display core dump when arch starts!
2008. 06 iso!
u can see display coredump in starting......

GAH, you silly people!
Now I'm going to have to go off and write a program that selects a random string from a file to show on startup!
(I'll probably fill the file with all the Arch snapshot names)
EDIT: I should mention that you're silly because you managed to get me following a random compulsion.
EDIT AGAIN: Done! I now get a random snapshot name in that spot whenever my system boots. I can post the script if anyone wants it, it's three lines.
EDIT ONE LAST TIME: Oh wait, three lines and a extra file full of snapshot names.

Color change when opening in Reader

Hi, I created a PDF in Photoshop. I then added an editable field in Acrobat, using the same RGBs. When I open the file in Reader, the color of the editable field does not match. Any suggestions on what I can do to resolve this? I have the most recent version of Acrobat and Reader.
Thanks,
Jackie

Here is a screen shot of the reader PDF, followed by the original file in Acrobat. You can see that the entire document color changed when I opened it in Reader.
THanks,
Jackie

Rules applied to multiple cells trigger color changes when any of the cells

"Rules applied to multiple cells trigger color changes when any of the cells meet the rule’s condition." That's what Help says, but when I follow the directions, it doesn't work. This is in Numbers 08.
I have a table where the contents of one column are either "YES" or "NO", depending on formulas using variables from other cells. If YES, I want the fill of that cell and that of two adjacent cells to change from white to green. I select all three cells and use conditional format rules for "text contains:" YES, then choose my fill color. When I return to the table and introduce values for the variables that trigger the rule, only the cell in the YES/NO column changes to green; the other two remain white.
While I am spreadsheet challenged, I usually can follow directions as plain as those in Help, but it's not working. I couldn't find anything in the discussions after an hour of searching. Is this a known problem or am I just stupid?

For what it's worth, that's the way I read that line in the User Guide as well. What it actually appears to mean, though is 'Rules applied to multiple cells apply independently to each of the cells."
Here's a workaround for your three adjacent columns. Long, but fairly simple steps.
Add a second table to the sheet (Table 2).
Resize the second table to one column wide and as many rows as you want to apply the conditional format to.
Set the width of the column to the same width as the three columns you want to highlight, and the row height(s) to match the rows.
Format to table to have NO Header or Footer row or column.
Use the Wrap Inspector to uncheck "Object causes wrap"
In the first top cell of Table 2, enter an = sign, then Click on Table 1 in the sidebar, Click on the first cell that will hold YES or NO.
Fill the formula down the rest of Table 2.
With all cells in Table 2 selected, use the Cell Format inspector to set the 'text contains yes' rule and the conditional fill colour for these cells.
Test the conditional formating by introducing values into Table 1.
Click on Table 1 in the sidebar, then use the Table inspector to set Cell Fill to 'none'.
Click on Table 2 in the sidebar, then drag that table onto table 1 aligning it to cover the cells in which the conditional formating is to appear.
When positioned (and still selected), go to the Arrange menu and Send Backward to move Table 2 behind the (transparent) cells in Table 1.
With Table 2 still selected, click on the Cell Borders color well and set the Opacity of the borders to 0%.
Click the Text inspector and set the Text colour Opacity for Table 2 to 0%.
Regards,
Barry

Gnome-Shell 3.8 freezes a few seconds when i start an application.

Hi!
I've been using GnomeShell for abount 1 year now. But there is an pretty anoying thing with it. When i open (for example google-chrome) the clock stops and i cant click on anything for about 3 seconds. But not only when i start an application but also randomly when i busy with developing PHP etc. Is this an known issue? And is there a way to fix it?
Cheers,
Kevin

I can confirm this issue partially. When I try to search for the application, I type a few letters (depends on the speed of typing) and Gnome freezes for a few seconds.
Probably
extra/tracker
is the cause.
Edit:
I have removed tracker, gnome-photos, gnome-documents, but with no luck - it still lags. I did the trick with:
top > /tmp/top
and proceed everything again. This shown me that the problem was gnome-contacts, which went to the ~70% CPU.
I removed it as well and everything works fine now.

Display colors change after start up

Hi, I recently tried to open a Power Point file which was too heavy and I got so desperate that I hit the keyboards as if they were a piano... Final result is that now everytime I start up the computer the display colors are all a mess, like if the "negative" part of the picture shows up instead of the true colors. I know the display is ok, for when the computer is started, the initial screen colors show up well.
I would not like having to reload the operating system to fix the problem.
Any suggestions?

Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences, click on the Seeing tab, turn off the White on Black option, move the Contrast slider all the way to the left, and deactivate the remaining options except for the one which controls access to assistive devices.

Why does Firefox force 8bit color quality when it starts and distort some elements of my screen?

Have no problem with other programs when I set color quality to 32bit. But when I start Firefox the screen looks like a low res screen. If I go look at the color quality in settings it will be at 8bit and changing it appears to fix things. Until I close Firefox and restart it then I am back to 8bit and poor looking graphics and even the windows start button will be messed up as well as the windows icon on the start button

Right-click on the shortcut that you use to start Firefox and select Properties, go to the Compatibility tab and de-select all of the settings.
If none of the settings are selected, repeat the above process, but this time using Windows Explorer right-click on the firefox.exe file, default location is C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
