I want to calibrate my monitor. What software (system)??

I have used the "internal" system for calibrating the monitor on my iMac and MacBook Air. I find using the visual cues on the advanced method difficult to discern. Is there a better way? I have heard of Colormonki and XRite i1. some of these use spectrophotometers. Is that critical?
recommedations for software only vs software/hardware methods?
thanks
Mike

Hi...
If you require accurate color for colormanaged workflow etc. there are no alternative to hardware calibration.
Rule of thumb is that the more expensive devices offer better accuracy and durability.
Avoid devices that use gelatine filters like Eye One Display 2. They degrade over time, usally resulting in red-shift on the calibrated monitor.
I use a Xrite DTP94, it uses glass filters.
Just my 5 cents

I have a MacBook running Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L30). I want to use and utilize iCloud. What software do I need to get inorder to do so?
Thanks!

You need to install OS X Lion 10.7.2 to access iCloud on your mac. First you would need to purchase a Snow Leopard retail disc ($29 USD), then run software update to get to 10.6.6 (10.6.8 preferred) to access the app store to download lion ($29 USD), or if you have a slow internet connection, you can purchase Lion on a USB drive for $69 USD. Make sure your mac meets this minimum requirements in order to run each of these versions of OS X

I need free network analyzer software for my mac. we are trying to monitor what software may be running which is causing our internet to fail, although the internet is still coming into our modem.what is recommended?

My internet keeps 'tripping' at or around the same period time each day. We have already replaced our modem from our internet provider and we bought a new airport extreme router. We do not believe these were the cause, although we have now ruled them out as a cause. Everytime the internet fails, our internet provider company tells us that there is still plenty of signal coming into our house. There is something going on inside we believe, and a technician set up our Network Utility to run a continuous ping test to capture information about when it 'trips' againn. Yesterday, it happened again, and when he checked the data out, he said he is sure there is something 'running in the background' on my IMac. He advised me to download a free Network Analyzer so he could further investigate what is was that was causing the problem, so I need a free network analyzer software for my Mac. The issue has been going on for a long time, so it is not the new operating system, Lion. This morning, we changed the radio channel from 'auto' to 'manual' and set a new channel, hoping that might help. We are trying to find out what program may be running (even a tiny one in the background) which is causing our internet to fail, although the internet is still coming into our modem. What is free downloadable product is recommended?

Will Activity Monitor and/or Network Utility, both already in the Utilities folder on your Mac, help in trying to diagnose the problem.
If you are connecting via wifi what encryption are you using? If you're using the Exteme I doubt that you are using WEP, but worth checking as it seems Macs don't like it and work better using WPA.

Advice needed - multiple monitors, what software is right for this?

I have an Intel Mac Pro (10.6) at work with 4 monitors, with screen sharing activated. I have an Intel mac Pro (10.6) at home with 2 monitors. I'd like to be able to do screen sharing, and the clients I've tested so far are driving me nuts - I can't figure out how to see all the monitors (one at a time if need be). What's the right solution - will ARD allow me to see the other monitors conveniently, or do I need Mobile Me, or ?? Advice would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike
If the remote computer has multiple screens attached, ARD gives you the option to show all as one large screen or individual 'sessions' for each screen.

Have DVI monitor - want to add VGA monitor - what adaptor am I needing?

Well, Ii am at my office - not at home where my PowerMac is and I am wondering what adaptor I need to purchase in order to connect a second monitor to my G5?
I am already using my DVI port for my 19" monitor.
Surprise! When I tried to use my DVI - VGA adaptor (reaching behind desk scenario) it wouldn't work and I quickly realized, "Hey! That's not a DVI port :-|"
What kind of port is it and where is the best place to get the adaptor?
Thanks guys

I don't think there are many companies making these, but there is no reason another brand shouldn't work. If you can't find an ADC to VGA adapter, you could buy an ADC to DVI adapter
<http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wo/2.RSLID?mco= E1A673E1&nplm=T2774G%2FA> to connect your DVI monitor to the ADC port, and use your DVI to VGA adapter to connect your VGA monitor to the DVI port. Don't try an ADC to DVI followed by a DVI to VGA to connect the VGA monitor to the ADC port. ADC to DVI adapters may not pass through the analog signals needed by a VGA display.

Mar14Apple,
which resolution are you using when you use your monitor? Is that resolution supported through the monitor’s VGA port? (You’d probably have better throughput by using an adapter for the HDMI port or DVI port instead.) When you say that the trackpad doesn’t work, does that mean that the cursor is not visible on the monitor, or that it physically does not work, such that clicks are not registered, &c.?

i want to produce wedding dvds.whats the best software to use...final cut x I'm thinking but what about the quality of the dvd? Can i use idvd?

The only Programms I worked with are DVD Studio Pro and iDVD. You can burn a Video-DVD with Toast but there is no real option to design your Menu. Just a few themes as far as I discovered.
Do you have a Blue Ray Device to burn* the HD-DVD? Are the Bride and Groom able to watch the Blue Ray?
* which is only possible with DVD Studio Pro and not iMovie as far as I know.
This might help
For better quality I would go the Compressor & DVD Studio Pro workflow I just learned.
Export the Movie as is from Final Cut Pro and then use Compressor to encode the File.
Consider delivering the Movie in a different way like a private video on vimeo, a Website or on an SD card which is not really romantic...

You do have the ability to create good user interfaces with LabVIEW.
The main problem is what do you, or your customer consider a good user
interface.
The first thing I would suggest is to start using the "Dialog Control"
controls for your front panel. This set of controls pick up their style
from the operating system, so they will match the rest of the system
applicaitons.
Another thing is limit the use of color on the front panel. One persons
idea of a nice shade of blue can be another person eyesore. Instead,
use the decorations for grouping of controls.
I would stay away from ActiveX. It's interface is quirky at best and there is a lot of overhead involved.
Just to show it's possible, the attached images are screen shots of
user interfaces I've designed with LabVIEW. The first two use the
Dialog Controls, and the third uses standard controls and color at the
customers request.

I want to clone an internal windows disk to a larger disk in my G5 Pro. Would I have to do it from the Windows side and what software is needed?

I want to clone an internal windows 7 disk to a larger disk in my G5 Pro (2009) 2.93. Would I have to do it from the Windows side or can I do it from the mac side, and what software works for cloning if anyone knows.
thorpug

We don't mix names G5 (IBM, PowerMac) and Mac Pro (Intel)
Depends what you actually are doing.
Do both Mac and Windows reside on same or separate drives?
For running a Mac utility, then WinClone 4 $39
Review was on http://www.macwindows.com two weeks ago
For Windows on its own drive and disk to disk, then Paragon HDM 12 is best.
You should visit Paragon, for imaging and cloning Windows as well as HFS+ drivers.

quicken should work with lion.
Quicken Essentials will work with Lion. Most people that have used Quicken for a while (i.e. Quicken 2007) have found that Quicken Essentials isn't much better than a basic spreadsheet. It is a significant step down from previous versions and does not offer many of the features previously offered. Right now, it seems like the two most common options are iBank and MoneyDance.
Frankly... this is a major opportunity for these companies. The largest commercial distributor of this type of product has been Intuit (Quicken). That makes it hard for any other company to get any of that market as so many people were already using Quicken and may have had years of data stored in it. Now, with Quicken effectively out of the picture, it's a great chance for another company. Just imagine if iPhones were suddenly off the market. That would give other manufacturers a tremendous opportunity since they wouldn't have to fight an up hill battle against a market giant.

What Software to monitor temps with P965 Neo-F

I downloaded Dual Core Center, but it says that it "does not support". I guess it doesnt work with the P965 Neo-F.
So, what software can I use to monitor my temps? Speedfan doesnt work either.
I do have a E6300, so it is a Dual Core system.

Coretemp

Reads the temperature directly from the cpu's built in sensor and should be very accurate...

Pantone eye-one Display 2 monitor calibration software - auto starting

Hi,
I just calibrated my monitor using Pantone's eye-one Display 2 hardware and software (3.6.1). Now, when I login, the eye-one match software icon appears in the dock, bounces a few times, then disappears.
The software instructions made no mention of this. What is it doing? Can I stop it? Just as a matter of principle, I really don't like programs starting themselves and doing unknown things.
Thanks!

The x-rite i1 display 2 won't work with any LCD lit panels. I've attended a x-rite training only six weeks ago and the guy explained the issues. So if you want to calibrate any LCD backlit screen, you have to get a more expensive thing -- maybe the Colormunki will do, but for sure the i1Pro will work. It's still a quite expensive upgrade.
