How to calibrate MBP display

I used SuperCal on all my previous PowerBooks to calibrate their display, but it is not working correctly on MBP. What do you guys use?

SuperCal is definitely a PPC application, but professionals will have to be able to calibrate their display as well somehow (I am guessing)...

Mirrored Display. How to sleep MBP display without closing LID to keep the machine vented?

I just got my hands on a 15" MBP and I currently have a third party Display that I have connected to my Display output port. Mirrored display, and tried the clamshell mode but machine got quite hot by running in it that way. I was wondering if there is any way to keep the lid open while the mirrored mode on the external Display still runs?
Also, if there are any third party software that does give me flexibility as to which display to sleep and such, and at least have control over the display output options, that would be a gem. Appreciate it if anyone has that info?
Thanks a lot for taking time to help! Happy holiday and a great year to come for all!
Miles of smiles,
Jimbo

Captfred,
I've tried what the article suggests but it only seems to work if you want to wake the computer when it is sleeping or the screen saver is on.
What I am trying to find out is how to start the computer when it is turned off without having to open it. I would imagine that there would be some key combination on the keyboard or perhaps a way to program the on/off button on the side of the Apple external display to do that.
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance.

How do I calibrate my display to be more magenta?

How do I calibrate my display to be more magenta?

You don't say which version of the Mac OS you have, but in 10.6, do System preferences > Displays and select the "Color" tab. One button is labeled "Calibrate..." that lets you set up and save a custom color profile for your display. Give the new profile a name and you can switch between the custom and the default profile easily.

How to calibrate both 23" Displays the same ?

Through preferences ... I can calibrate the display in Expert mode ...ok. an then going through the colorsync utility I can see all the settings ... but is there a way
to kinda copy and paste these settings to a second display ?
I guess there must be ... and one of you experts is gonna tell me. ...
Thanks

Well...actually...no. You have to calibrate the displays independently. The whole purpose of calibration is to adjust each display based on it's unique "personality". Trying to get two displays in sync "by eye" will drive you nuts. Even if you could select the same profile for each unit, the variations from one display to another will cause a mismatch. In order to do this properly, you need a calibration instrument and software (Spyder, Eye One, etc.)

How many 3rd party displays can be connected to MBP retina 15"

I was just wondering how many 3rd party displays can be connected to the MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15" and 16GBs of ram. I have contacted the Apple Online Chat and every time I get a different awnser. I know that there are 2 Thunderbolt ports and a HDMI port on the machine. Can someone help me please?
Thanks,
Jayden

Near all screens. You can use the HDMI port to connect the MacBook Pro with Retina display to a HDMI screen, but you have got Thunderbolt.
Thunderbolt is compatible with Mini DisplayPort, so you can use Mini DisplayPort adapters to connect your MacBook to a DVI or VGA screen too

Using a Second Display while MBP display is in Fullscreen use

I recently began using a second display consistently (something I only did sparingly in the past), and I was hoping to find out how to utilize my second display while running a fullscreen application on the MBP display (when in fullscreen, the second display is taken into fullscreen, but only with a solid black), and continue using everything else normally if situated on the second display.

Did you have a specific app or application in mind?

MBP Display Colors, should the be the same as ACD?

Greetings everyone.
Just bought my 1st Mac laptop (15" MacBook Pro). Before that I have a year of experience with Mac Pro. I've noticed an interesting thing - colors on mbp are little desaturated. I've set up color calibration on both MBP display and 23" ACD identically. But colors are different. Is this normal? Desaturation is about 10% comparing to ACD. Everything else works well.
Thanks in advance.

It's true, a laptop LCD can't perform as well as a desktop. You can calibrate to the same specs, but they will appear different because the desktop monitor will be able to calibrate closer to the target specs. See the interactive chart at the middle of this page.

How do change the display settings such as color temperature and backlight brightness on an iMac monitor?

My wife has an iMac (I don't know any other way to identify it e.g. model number), and she has this 3rd party calibration software that I'm trying to use. I am not used to a Mac, and I cannot find the display settings for the monitor. There are no buttons on the monitor, and when I go to preferences, I can only find the brightness control. I've googled this and cannot find a clear, simple answer. I have used every version of Windows (currently on 8.1 on my PC) and it's easy for me on that platform. I suppose it's just that I don't really know how to navigate Mac OS.

ItsameMatt03,
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Displays, then click Color.
Click Calibrate.Display Calibrator Assistant walks you through calibrating your display, then creates a calibrated color profile.For a more detailed calibration of your display, select the Expert Mode checkbox, which is at the bottom of the introductory text in the assistant.When the display profile is ready, it’s automatically assigned as your display’s color profile.

I bought Lion from App Store recently and installed it successfully on my MBP. After few days when I left my machine running Lion from morning till evening I see a thin green line on the left side of the screen. I tried searching the web and tried few options like restarting the machine, resetting NVRAM and doing Apple hardware test (By pressing D while the machine boots). The Apple hardware test did not detect any problem. The green line still exists.
Please suggest me how to get rid of green line.

Hi Brent,
I took it to apple service center. They did some checks and found out that the display has gone bad and they replced it with new one.
Did you try connecting other display (may be Apple Display or Dell monitor) using an adapter? In my case the Apple service center people tried doing it and the display was appearing just fine without any green line. So the fault was in my MBP display.

Best method to calibrate new display?

I have recently purchased one of the new Dell ST2420L LED displays, and after connecting it to my MacBook Pro it seems really really bright, and the colours seem off. Turning down the brightness obviously helps with it being really glary but it does not fix the colours - plus it is not easy to work with it turned down so far!
Can anyone tell me the best way to calibrate both the display itself, and also calibrate the display with my MacBook via the mac calibration tool?
Any help would be great - thanks in advance.

Good Morning,
I have a second question to ask about Inserting rows..I was successful with the sql statement in adding a row to the parent table. Now I need to insert a row in the related child table. There are approx 5 child tables where I need to be able to add rows.
My questions as to the proper sequence to do this:
1. do I execute the Insert for the parent table first?
2. then have the user click the button to add info for the child table and then click another button that does the insert into the child table? At this point, is this where I reference the parent table(fac_seq.currval)?
INSERT INTO CONTACT(cnt_pk, fullname, street1, city, state, zip, phone, title)
VALUES (CNT_SEQ.nextval,FAC_SEQ.currval,
NVL(:P36_FULLNAME, 'No Data'),
NVL(:P36_STREET1,'No Data'),
NVL(:P36_CITY, 'No Data'),
NVL(:P36_STATE,'CA'),
NVL(:P36_ZIP,'00000'),
NVL(:P36_PHONE,'555-1212'),
NVL(:P36_TITLE,'No Data'));
3. is it proper procedure to have separate insert statements or is it better to have 2 insert statements?
INSERT INTO FACILITY(fac_pk, fac_type, fac_name, street1, city, state, zip, state_or_tribe, tribe_yn)
VALUES (FAC_SEQ.nextval,
NVL(:P211_FAC_TYPE, 'N'),
NVL(:P211_FAC_NAME,'No Data'),
NVL(:P211_STREET1,'No Data'),
NVL(:P211_CITY, 'No Data'),
NVL(:P211_STATE,'CA'),
NVL(:P211_ZIP,'00000'),
NVL(:P211_STATE_OR_TRIBE,'CA'),
NVL(:P211_TRIBE_YN,'N'));
INSERT INTO WELL(wel_pk, fac_fk, cnt_fk, geo_fk, well_state_uk, name,site, high_priority_yn,aqui_exempt_yn, well_in_swa)
VALUES (WEL_SEQ.nextval, FAC_SEQ.currval, CNT_SEQ.currval, GEO_SEQ.currval,
NVL(:P47_WELL_STATE_UK, '09DI'),
NVL(:P47_NAME, 'No Data'),
NVL(:P47_SITE,'No Data'),
NVL(:P47_HIGH_PRIORITY_YN, 'N'),
NVL(:P47_AQUI_EXEMPT_YN, 'N'),
NVL(:P47_WELL_IN_SWA,'U'));
**I am confused as to how to approach the process of adding rows to a child table. Please clarify for me or direct me to a link that has detailed documentation.
Many thanks,
Judy

Can Not Calibrate the display. The factory profile for the display...

I have an apple cinema display 20" and a mac powerbook g4 (1.25 GHx PowerPC g4, 1.25 GB DDR SDRAM) with os 10.4.9. All of my software is up to is date.
I used to be able to calibrate my colorsync profiles. My computer's hard drive recently failed and I had it replaced and the system re-installed (If any of you live in NYC, I took it to tek Serve, and they know what they are doing).
Now when I try to calinbrate my monitor I get the error "Can Not Calibrate the display. The factory profile for the display could not be found." Like I said I have updated to 10.4.9 but this hasnt solved my problem. I have restarted my computer, and this has also not solved my problem.
Any help!?! Please! This is important to me as I do color work for print and I need to see colors accurately When I use my computer.

I fixed it already. There was indeed a problem in the preferences. In my case I removed the whole preferences folrder to the desktop (which forces the computer to rebuild it fresh) and it worked fine! Then one at a time 'as it was needed, I put back the preferences for other applications (mail, itunes etc). Turns out no preferences was better than whatever corrupted preference was in there causing the problem. You know what I mean. If no preferences are there the applications start over building it new automatically. So it was like a preferences restart. sorta.
Unfortunately, since I dont have applecare I had to spend 50 bucks on the phone with apple to figure this out. It's amazing how long it took them to actually pinpoint the problem. Hopefully if anyone gets that error in the future they'll find this post on google and save some bucks.

Calibrating the MBP display

Is there a way to calibrate the display for the MBP 17"?

look under system preferences -> displays -> color
i recommend using an external device like i1 display 2 for accurate results, since your eyes are really not that reliable.
(unfortunately i have a problem calibrating the new penryn mbp display: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1492487&tstart=0)

Doh, mentioned this on yesterday's post but now it seems the mbp display is

getting worst and worst
first under a black background my screen look like a nice eveing with bunch of shinning stars (stuck pixels) lighting up the sky and then under different color backgrounds minutes ago just noticed 2 dead pixels one light blackish and one whiteish (the later one will probably need a closer look that the former one)
gonna bring it to the Apple store in the morning but i am scared that genius bar tech might eat me alive and refuse to recognize my problem

and when i run the lcd gradient test i wonder how can i tell if my mbp display pass the gradien test or not?

I am trying to connect mbp to tv using mini display port and HDMI cable TVtuned tocorrect port as shows Mac wallpaper (purple star scene) but does not show what is on MBP. What can I try so that I can see mbp display on TV?

What do I needto do to connect a tv as an external display for my mbp using a mini display port to hdmi cable. I have tried display without success. tv is receiving a signal as displays apples default wallpaper when connected but nothing from screen of mbp.

Soundls like it is working. Try dragging a window on the MBP to the edge of the screen and see if it appears on the TV.
There are two ways to set up the TV one is to mirror the MBP display and the other is to be an extension of the MBP's screen.
You change the settings in System Preference->Display

How to change external display resolution WITHOUT clicking "CONFIRM"?

I have a somewhat unusual situation. My MacBook laptop is actually now a ModBook (a pen-tablet computer), and as such I no longer have a trackpad attached to it. All of my inputs are via the stylus, tapping directly on the built-in display.
This works perfectly fine, except when I need to give presentations on an LCD projector (which is quite often lately). I like to use the projector as an external monitor, so that I can run the Keynote presentation on it while using my laptop screen as the presenter's display, with the upcoming slide, etc. If the projector doesn't give me an ideal native display option (sometimes, the aspect ratio for the 3 or 4 resolutions available in the Displays drop-down in the menubar turn out to be stretched or squeezed), then I, naturally, have to open the Display System Preferences and try out different resolutions.
The problem is, since my stylus only interacts by clicking directly on the built-in-display, I have no way of moving the cursor over to the external display when the dialog box with the "Click here to confirm change/You have 15 seconds..." message appears. So I can never click it ... so I can never confirm the new settings.
The workarounds I've used so far are:
- Mirror displays (not ideal, as I need the presenter preview of the next slide)
- borrow a mouse from someone (usually from a Windows desktop, frankly) and plug that in to briefly mouse over and click the confirm button
I'd love to find a software workaround that allows me to NOT mirror displays and also doesn't require me to carry around a mouse all the time (my laptop bag is already overstuffed...).
Thanks.
