Iphoto does not use the proper display profile

Hello.
I just bought a 20' Apple Cinema display and connected it to my Macbook. I have noticed a very strange behavior of iPhoto and Preview.
I will first describe the expected (right behaviour).
When I drag an image opened in Adobe LG or Aperture from the Macbook display to the Cinema display (or the opposite) after a very small delay the color of the image adapts to the color profile of the display where it was dragged. Which is the correct the behavior.
With Preview or iPhoto this adaptation does not happen and the image is displayed with the right profile only on one of the 2 display. Besides being a very annoying issue, the very strange thing is how you can choose on which one of the displays the image gets displayed with the right display color profile:
- With Preview, the display color profile used (for both displays) is selected based on which is the default display in ColorSync display settings.
- With iPhoto, the display color profile used (for both displays) is selected based on which display the munu bar is (!!!). That is, if you want to have your image displayed with the right display profile on your cinema display, then you MUST have the menu bar on that display. If the menu bar is on the Macbook display the image on the cinema display will be displayed with the display profile of the Macbook display. Crazy!
You can try all of the above remembering that after any change you need to quit and reopen iphoto or preview or ColorSync for the settings to apply.
My question is: why neither iPhoto nor Preview act in the right way like Aperture or Adobe LG? Or at least, why iPhoto does not behave like Preview allowing me to choose where I want the menu bar without having this choice affecting the display color profile used to display my images?
Thank you,
Marco

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Help!! Can someone help me with this message I keep getting before startup, please ?? Here it is: "/Library/Startupitems/Intego Backup Manager Pro" has not been started because it does not  have the proper security settings. Help!?!?

    Hello:
    I keep getting this message upon startup. Can't figure out how to address it. Here it is.
    "/Library/Startupitems/Intego Backup Manager Pro" has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings.
    Any suggestions?

    There's an invisible one name "Icon" according to the error message.
    Enable Finder to Show Invisible Files and Folders
    Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder.  At the prompt enter or paste the following command line then press RETURN.
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
    killall Finder
    To turn off the display of invisible files and folders enter or paste the following command line and press RETURN.
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
    killall Finder
    Alternatively you can use one of the numerous third-party utilities such as TinkerTool or ShowHideInvisibleFiles - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    First, make invisible files visible. Find the invisible file in that folder and remove it. Please be sure you are looking in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder. There is another one in the /Home/Library/ folder. Be sure you look in the right one.

  • You are not allowed to continue because your account does not have the proper privileges

    I've been using PS since version 3. I currently run CS2 on Windows XP service pack 2. I've been using CS2 since it was first released. Now, all of a sudden, anytime I install or uninstall a program, whether it is related to Photoshop or not, when I start CS2 I get a window that says "You are not allowed to continue because your account does not have the proper privileges" and the program aborts. The first time this happened and after I had restarted CS2 for the 4th time it started normally. Since then it requires at least one restart (not reboot)after the error and then CS2 starts normally. Anyone have any idea of what is going on here? The first time it happened was right after I had installed a new HP AIO printer and I thought that may have had something to do with it. However, I have installed a couple of other programs and uninstalled another, none of them related in any way to CS2, and I get the error the next time I run CS2. I have found some posts about this but no answers, and most of the posts were related to Vista, not XP. I need help please.

    there's a section in adobe.com (not adobeforums.com!) where after you log in (seperate log in from this site) you can go to "my account" and then "my registrations". you can manually add registrations there. that's how i've registered most of my adobe purchases.
    ok. just ran through it:
    go to http://www.adobe.com/ (make sure you have flash turned on)
    click "Your Account" in the upper left corner.
    log in with your adobe.com id, create one if you don't have one. this is SEPERATE from the id you log into this forum with!

    I have a PowerMac G5 using Operating system 10.6.8
    I took this mac to  the Apple store, they reset my os software and I have been having problems eversince. Since this Mac weights about 50 lbs, I don't want to take it in a gain. But - I am 67 years old and don't really understand some lingo - so straight english would really help.
    I so appreciate any help I can get.

    >>I have no idea what all that means...
    rwxrwxrwx    root  admin
    It shows that the files are owned by 'root' & in the group 'admin', while being readable (r) , writeable (w) & executable (x) by user:root, group:admin and everyone else.
    Startup items must be owned by root, the group must be wheel, and they must only be writeable by root.
    You can't readily make the required changes via Finder, so you'll either need to reinstall the software that added them, remove (trash) them altogether (they start qmaster, used by fcp &/or compressor) or use Terminal & the 'sudo' command to alter the ownership & permissions.
    If you choose the latter - run these two commands in Terminal while using an admin account, you'll be asked to enter the admin password, which won't be echoed onscreen. Restart afterwards. It's important that you copy/paste these exactly.
    sudo chown -R root:wheel /Library/Startupitems
    sudo chmod -R ugo+rwX,go-w /Library/Startupitems
    However - your startup problems with the prohibited sign are unlikely to be resolved by this, although it should avoid the warning messages you describe.
    When did the startup problems begin  - after adding any new software or making other changes ?.

  • I have a MacBook Pro running 10.7.2.  I am trying to import photos from my older Canon EOS-1D for the first time since my OS upgrade.  iPhoto does not see the camera nor does Image Capture.  IC says there is not a camera connected.  Cable is known good.

    If neither iPhoto not IC can seethe card it might suggest an issue with the card or the ports on the camera/mac.
    Try reformat the card, change the ports and/or use a USB Card Reader.

  • IPhoto does not see the camera

    iPhoto does not see the camera, although it worked really well for two years. Computer has been regularly updated. Please help, thank You.

    Image Capture doesn't see the camera. I have tried with two different Sony cameras, that I have been using for a long time on this computer. It is iMac 27''. Both of these cameras work normaly in MacBook Air, that means that the problem is not in the camera, or the cards. Those are the things I have tried so far. Only difference I created on the computer is that I have, two or three days ago, installed external hard drive WD My Book Studio which is connected to the computer by FireWire 800.

  • How do I deal with "StartUpItems if2k" has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings?

    Whenever I turn on or restart my MBP, a dialog box appears saying --> “/Library/StartupItems/if2k” has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings. 
    How can I fix this? 
    First, I searched online and found a site with a If2k_Remover_V2.zip file, but whenever I try to open the link, a page comes up saying,
    Forbidden
    You don't have permission to access /w/files/if2k/If2k_Remover_V2.zip on this server.
    Any thoughts on this?
    Also, I see the if2k folder in the Library/StartUpItems; is it something I can just drag into the Trash?  Or would that be a bad move?

    Did you ever figure this out? I just upgraded to Lion on my Air and I have the same issue.

    Uninstall any Intego junk according to its instructions and ensure that all its components have been completely eradicated from your Mac. You may need to download Intego's installer so that you can run its uninstaller.
    Intego will make your Mac run very poorly, unacceptably so. Never install such junk on a Mac.

    My table of contents does not use the entry style I select for words in the paragraph that have character styles applied to them in the chapter, so some of the letters, specifically parameters, are showing up green, which is fine in the chapter but not in the TOC. I can manually fix this in the TOC by changing the character style to none after the toc  has been generated, but I don't want to do this.

    Great exercise to document the problem like this.  It got me thinking about how an app with modules would be different from an app that does not use modules.  Solution: I moved the dummy reference of PersonPhotoView out to the main application file (as opposed to being inside the module) and it worked.  I've probably been lucky not to have experienced this problem earlier, because for most other entities I have an instance attached to my model which is linked / compiled with the main application.

  • Is there a save option on iPhoto? Sometimes iPhoto does not retain the name on a face I've added to a photo.

    Sometimes iPhoto does not retain the name on a face I've added to a photo. I have 'added a face' then flipped to the next picture then back to that picture and the label has disappeared.

    No.  It's supposed to be automatic.  You might try repairing the library's database and then see if it still crops up now and then. If that doesn't help try rebuilding it the same way.
    Launch iPhoto with the Option+Command keys held down and select the database repair option in the rebild window:
    Then the rebuild option if necessary.
