I don't want any color profile at all!

Hi,
When I start my MacBook Pro up, the color looks great on the built in screen and on my secondary monitor but, within a few seconds, the color profile for my secondary monitor loads and it becomes way over saturated. No amount of adjustment of the monitor or calibration through System Preferences can get me back to fleeting glimpse of perfection I experience in those first few seconds.
I've tried loading all the different profiles available when "Show profiles for this display only" is unchecked to no avail.
So my question is: How can I stop the color profile from loading? or: How should I go about getting hold of the color profile that's in operation for those first few seconds?
Thank you.

Look in the "Seeing" tab of "Universal Access" system preference and make sure the "Enhance contrast" slider is all the way to the left (Normal).

How do I delete a profile that I don't want any more?

I have multiple profiles on my macbook pro. How do I delete a profile that I don't want any more?

Document files need to be associated with an app that will read it. I use documents to go, but there are others out there, paid and free.
those apps will either have file transfer protocols that work within iTunes. Some also have the ability to upload and download using services like sugar sync or dropbox. Docs to Go has a desktop program that you can use to sync documents over wifi outside of iTunes.
Another way to get documents onto your ipad is to mail them to yourself, open that mail, 'send' the document to your app and then view it that way.

I can't calibrate any color profile for my iMac's display!

I think I accidentally deleted the color profile for my iMac's display
and now it won't let me calibrate any profile! All the colors are bright and washed out.
When I go to the display>color preference panel I get an error sound whenever I click ANY color profile, and it doesn't load. When I click "calibrate" it gives me the message: "Can not calibrate the display. The factory profile for the display could not be found."
But I wasn't even using the factory profile, and it won't let me choose any other ones, either (though a whole list does show up!)
I tried repairing/verifying the profiles in the ColorSync Utility, but it didn't help.
Is there somewhere I can download the profile and install it? I'm running a white 20" Core Duo 2GHz iMac (summer of 2006), if that helps.
Thanks!

seenew,
I'm wondering if you would have any luck with resetting the PRAM? PRAM settings hold some of the display preferences I believe.
See: "Mac OS X: What's stored in PRAM"
If not, I am wondering if reapplying the Combo update for 10.4.7 might correct the display calibration issue or at least return it to the default?
I don't think that recreating the .plist file for displays will help.
As far as I know you cannot "download" the profile.
sorry if those suggestions don't help,

How to get contacts from ipad to iphone? (I don't want any contacts to come from my PC via icloud.)

How to get my contacts from ipad to iphone? (I don't want any contacts to come from my PC via icloud, only from the ipad.)

Well, if both your iPad and iPhone have ios 7 you could AirDrop the contacts. This may seem time consuming if have a lot of contacts as you have to select all the ones you want to transfer. But it is useful if you want transfer only specific contacts and not the whole contact list. Oh, and another thing: your iPad has to be a 4th generation or higher and your iPhone has to be 5th generation or higher.

What do I need to do to get pronunciation via Firefox? I could not download Apple's Quick Time; I don't want any Apple products..

I have FF, Win 7 Ultra, 32-bit, HP a465c. I bookmarked a pronouncing dictionary that won't pronounce! Yikes! When I try to get an unusual word pronounced, I am prompted to download Apple's plug-in. I have no Apple products and don't want any. When I try to download Quick Time, it always fails. Then I'm prompted to manually install it. I don't know how to do this. What does FF have that will pronounce desired words readily? Methinks that that would be a commonplace, built-in FF feature.
Danke.

I was using Merriam-Webster's Pronouncing Unabridged Dictionary, which has a built-in pronouncing function. I just tried it now, only to find that I NOW would have to PAY to gain full access to the site! I can't afford that, so I shall remove the dictionary forthwith.
That said, does FF have a built-in pronouncing function, with or without definition? If not, how do I get this on my computer?
Danke.

There are tabs of unopened sites when I open version 3.6.8. I don't want any tabs at startup

When opening Firefox version 3.6.8 there are always many tabs. Many are sites I don't go to. I don't want any tabs when I first open Firefox. I want tabs only when I ask for a new tab and only for that session.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== all the time since I use Firefox a few years ago

Hi Fred,
Just change the option so Firefox shows your homepage when you open it.
Tools -> Options -> General
Change the dropdown labeled "When Firefox starts" to "Show my home page" or "Show a blank page" if you like.
See https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page#Set_what_pages_open_when_Firefox_starts

I don't have any color in my icons in the finder

I don't have any color in my application icons in finder.

Go to the link below, download and install the program. Please read the instructions on the page.

Then go to the link below, download and extract the program. Put the program in the plugins folder created above.
http://cooviewerzoom.web.fc2.com/colorfulsidebar.html
Force quit Finder and when you open a new Finder window, you should have color in the sidebar, although not across the top. You will need to Force quit Finder and open a new window after almost all restarts and startups.
Not perfect, but it works.
As an alternative, you can go to the link below and download the program. In the Lion Tweaks section, there is a tweak to restore color in the Finder sidebar, but I haven't tried it, so I don't know if it works.
Hope this helps.

Please, I don't want any suggestions from the awesome bar! Using the tools menu does not stop it...

I don't want any suggestions! I have set the control through the Options many time to nothing but it always comes back with a new session. Please can I stop it completely!

If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

If I have an old iPhone 4 that is not factory unlocked how could I unlocked? Don't want any anymore to jailbreak it

If I have an old iPhone 4 that is not factory unlocked how could I unlocked? Don't want any anymore to jailbreak it

I have looked around here. And I've actually in person helped a number of people clear a jailbreak from an iPhone and they work fine. The OPs biggest hurdle is likely to be the process of obtaining an unlock from the cell provider.
The mistake many people make is waiting to Restore until the unlock is approved. They should Restore prior to even getting the unlock approval then do it again after they receive it.
As most people know who have been here awhile we see the ones who have problems, not the ones who have successfully done the process.
If you go by ASC noone would ever buy an iDevice.

I DON'T want any texts

My wife has 450 texts each month but I DON'T want any texts because they charge me .25 per incoming or outgoing. How can I turn off texts on JUST MY PHONE and not hers when they are on the same account?

You can call customer service and have them put a text message block on your line. You can also do it yourself through the account owner's My Verizon account online and add the text block feature to your line.

I just installed Firefox 5. How can I remove the Bing search from the address bar? I don't want to see Bing at all.

I just installed Firefox 5. How can I remove the Bing search from the address bar. I don't want to see Bing at all. I tired the Firefox options, right-clicking on the search field and the toolbar selection drop-down but could not find a way to get rid of that unwanted search window.

*'''at the bottom of firefox''' there is a weird looking greenish circle with a lightning bolt in it*
1. click it and hover over to '''PREFERENCES'''.
2. click the second circle that say's '''BING.'''
3. '''Un-check''' both boxes.
4. you're done :)
Note: it's not going to show the google symbol encrypt when you open a new tab it's just going to automatically use google as a search engine.

How can i delete a number of emails at once? I have a backlog and don't want to go through them all.

No.
With an Exchange or IMAP account you can delete the messages with the email client used on your computer or via webmail access for the account - all server stored mailboxes are kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account.
Not possible with an antiquated POP account.

I don't want any color profile at all!
