MBP LCD oversaturation problems fixed in 10.6

Hello,
I just installed Mac OS X Snow Leopard and suddenly color reproduction is fine again. I have a Macbook Pro 13.3 with the 9CC2 LCD panel. Like many people in this forum I wasn't happy about how colors look on my screen. Blues were kinda purple and yellows and greens were oversaturated. Now after installing 10.6, everything is great! Must be the video driver, because I couldn't calibrate my screen no matter how hard I tried on factory preinstalled 10.5.7 (updated to 10.5.8), but in 10.6 picture is way better (with correct color reproduction) even using default profile.
Could anyone confirm this?

Oddly, my colors were fine before installing 10.6. After installing it, the blues in the pull down menus turned purple, but after a while they went back to blue. But even more strangely, the mail icon is purple when mail is closed, but after I open mail and the dock hides itself, when the dock comes up again with mail open, the icon is the normal blue color. Has anyone else had this happen?

  • MBP LCD Screen Problem

    I have a MPB with the Intel Core Duo CPU. I recently had my screen go crazy. The colors look like something out of the 60's....very psychodelic. I did a screen grab and looked at it on another computer. The odd part is that the screen capture looked perfect.
    Anyone else experience this "tie-dye" effect of their screen?
    Thanks

    Hey Aaron,
    I think I am experiencing the same problem. My MBP started doing what you describe after a failed attempt to boot into Windows XP with Bootcamp. After rebooting several times into OSX and XP, I was able to get the proper display in XP, but upon rebooting again into Windows or OSX, the display is not working properly in either OS.
    I connected my Cinema Display to the DVI port and have no problems with it and screen grabs from the Cinema Display and the MBP screen show nothing wrong. Apple Hardware Test reports nothing wrong.
    I took a picture with my digital camera:

    My Macbook Pro is running OS X 10.4.8 with the latest firmware.
    I hope someone can shed more light on this.

  • Nokia N97 LCD Screen Problems - a never ending sto...

    Hello.
    I recently purchased a new Nokia N97 smartphone. Everything about the phone is awesome, such as GPS, decent camera, good audio and video playback, etc, except for one thing. First thing first, I always see ghosting or 'burn-in' of images on the screen - quiet clearly on bright backgrounds. This is one of many annoyances as it often is visible when your watching movies and will only go away if the screen is off long enough. Another fault with the screen is that it appears to not refresh fast enough as I can often see what appears to be 'scan lines' running horizontal (if the phone is horizontal). Last, but not least, there appears to be diagonal lines crossing the screen from the top left to the buttom right as well as little matrixes of dots, however they do not seem to be on the LCD itself but rather the resistve layer. This may be just a feature to make the screen more reponsive, but I don't know and it is only visible in bright light, but when it is, you can diffently notice it. Does anyone else notice these strange effects? Will a Nokia Care Center help fix it?
    And yes, screen proctectors have been removed.
    Naito.

    I have the exact same problems... Some other problems two.
    When I get a call and my correspondent quits the communication before I do, the phone freezes and I m forced to turn the phone off to deblock it.
    This is really annoying. Some times, just while navigating between menus the screen gets stuck between two menus.
    I purchased the phone 2 days ago and as you sed, its a great phone but not worth the pries, far from it.
    I m goanna bring it back to the shop to have it change to see if its my phone who has a problem or the entire N97 series.
    If that's the case I ll go for an other phone. I have always used Nokia phones, and was happy about them but this time I m am really disappointed.
    I ll let you guys know if I get these problems fixed or if it gets worst.

  • Does  Mavericks have the problem fixed with working with the Dell UltraSharp U3014 30 inch monitor?

    Does  Mavericks have the problem fixed with working with the Dell UltraSharp U3014 30 inch monitor?

    I have this (or a similar) issue and I did notice something interesting. After I boot into Windows via Bootcamp (where I have the U3014 specfic driver installed) and then reboot into MacOS X (Mavericks) the monitor works flawlessly.
    I would hazard a guess that this means bootcamp is retaining the driver used in Windows. Kind of the reverse of the TB GBE adapter driver issue.
    To explain my issue for anyone else: the monitor flicks on and off as if the connection was poor. Connecting via HDMI. Connection is fine and as stated, everything works fine in Bootcamp.

  • Jumpy scrowl control with mouse.Only with Firefox, not Internet explorer. Problem fixed when I updated to 6. 0.2 but problems returned after about a week.. 0.2

    Jumpy scroll wheel control with mouse. Only with Firefox, not Internet explorer.Even pushing the scroll wheel and trying to adjust for a smooth easy scroll the text stops and starts. Problem fixed itself when I updated to 6. 0.2 from an older version but the problem returned after about a week.. The problems go away when I go to web site and scroll but is back when I return to my home page (mozilla firefox)

    Good post, and glad to hear you had a solid transition. Mine went well too, though I think I beat the rush.
    It's worth noting that the vast and overwhelming majority of headaches people were experiencing were related to download and activation servers (as well as credit check servers for some mobile carriers) being crushed and overwhelmed.
    To give you an idea of just how crushed, here are some numbers. In the last year, something in the neighborhood of 8 million iPhones have been sold. That's just shy of 22,000 per day. So the typical traffic is around 22,000 times a day, someone is hitting the server for update/activation.
    This weekend, Apple sold 1 million iPhones. In other words, 333,333 phones per day. Holy crap!
    As if that wasn't enough, there are 8 million of us out there with the first generation iPhone. Not only do we need to download the new firmware, but we have to install it. The installation process requires hitting the activation server again, to validate the phone. Mind you, not everybody upgraded this weekend, but a few million did. For the sake of argument, we'll assume that's 1 million a day. So, instead of the normall traffic of 22K phones a day, those activation servers got SLAMMED with 1.33 million activations per day.
    It ***** that some people had delays and hiccups and a hard time and everything, but completely understandable. With luck things will run more smoothly from here on out.

  • LCD panel problem 2009 13" mbp

    Hoping for some insight to what's happening here.  My brother's mbp has been having display issues.  Initially, he brought it to me with the display totally off but it would cycle through colors when initially turned on but go black once it got into the boot process.  I thought it might've been a problem with the lvds cable, but everything *seemed* ok when I looked in.  For whatever reason though, just me verifying each connection was secure fixed the problem.  Only thing I can figure is that my guess of a bad connection must've been correct.
    Fast forward a couple weeks, and now this:
    Any ideas? 

    So here is the road I have taken so far.  I have an old Opti Bay unit that I am no longer using.  I pulled the old cable out of the MBP and looked it over, can't see any outside damage (i know this doesn't really mean anything) I placed the HDD in the Opti Bay, hooked everything up and just left the HDD bay empty with the old cable connected to the mainboard.  Pushed power and she fired right up like nothing was wrong.
    I found cable 821-0814-A on Amazon for $26 so I will replace that and then put it back together the way it should be and see how it goes from there.

  • MBP Airport problems fixed by 10.4.7

    Just wanted to say I was having terrible wifi dropout problems with my month-old 15" MacBook Pro -- it would work fine for a few minutes, then go dead for 20-30 seconds, though it still claimed to be connected -- and installing the 10.4.7 update seems to have totally fixed the problem. I was getting inconsistent signal strength (wavering from 2 to 4 bars) and that's solid now too.
    P.S. Hello forum maintainer--you need to add a 10.4.7 entry to the OS list.
    MacBook Pro 2.16/1GB   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Having the same problem with the SLVR, Cingular. Everything else works fine, syncing, file transfer, everything, just can't get the "SMS" or "Dial with Cell Phone" commands in the Address Book to work.
    When I hit the Bluetooth button in the Address Book, it asks me to pair the devices, enter a code (I've used both 0000 and the 8 digit code given by the Bluetooth Set Up Assistant), but the SMS and Dial commands will not "un-grey."
    I've also noticed that when I use the "Find Devices" command from the phone, it won't find anything, despite the fact that my computer is already paired and set to automatically accept connection. As I said, file transfer, syncing, etc. all work fine.
    Everything worked fine with my SE T68i.
    Anyone?

  • Very unusual LCD display problem, help appreciated

    First post, I want to thank anyone who can help me in advance. I just took over my sister's MBP Unibody, and she has been having an issue where there is about a 1.5 inch wide strip of complete distortion on the left hand side of the screen. Everything in that strip is completely color distorted with constant screen tearing and flickering. I suspect there is something wrong with a wire in the lcd screen, as this problem only starts after using the computer for 15 minutes, and goes away initially by tapping the screen or adjusting the screen. After about half an hour of use however, it does not go away. In a completely unrelated incident, the glass panel cracked yesterday (This problem has been going on for about a month and a half), and i ordered a replacement, so I will be "under the hood" on Thursday. If anyone has any recommendations of what I might do to try to fix this, I would greatly appreciate it.
    3 pictures of my screen:

    Well its 70 dollars vs 600 dollars and it wasn't me who bought the applecare. And I would gladly bring it in to an apple technician instead, however my only problem with that is its not like they can just take off the glass, take a look at it and then tell me how much it costs. i mean the glass is shattered, you take it off and its going to be in pieces. Likewise, they very well might say that they can't do anything about it because the broken glass is clearly accidental damage and immediately attribute it to the lcd problem even though it has nothing to do with it. If the glass wasn't broken, I would never have even posted and immediately taken it to the apple store. Please, tell me I'm wrong and I will take it to them right away to tell me exactly why the screen is the way it is, and it will probably be covered seeing how it started out of no where. My understanding of apples policy however is that with the glass cracked as it is, they will have no choice but to immediately charge me for a full repair. But like I said, if I'm wrong please tell me and I'll take it in tomorrow

  • LCD TV Problems

    Hello, I have a 32 inch LCD HDTV that I decided to connect to my mac as a second monitor. I have a Powermac G5, first generation dual 1.8GHz with the stock GeForce FX5200 installed.
    I bought an HDMI/DVI cable and conected the DVI to my fx5200 and connected it to my LCD TV. The problem now, is that the TV doesn't get a signal...I was once able to get the mac to recognize that there was a second, widescreen monitor attached, but I still didn't get a signal on the TV. Any ideas?

    Well, I'm not entirely sure I know how I did it, but I seemed to have fixed the problem I was having with my TV. I tried plugging it into the a different HDMI port which was meant to be for DVI input. for sme reason it worked like a charm. Thanks for the quick reply anyways!

  • LCD display problem- bright spot

    Hi,
    I just bought my idea u310 online. By opening laptop for the first time, I noticed the screen frame is detached. the frame was not fixed in its own place. it was separated from lcd. I pushed corners so that it can get fit in the right place. it seemed to be all right but after some hours working, I noticed a brighter spot at bottom of lcd display (bottom at task bar- more near to right side). I am very upset I afraid if the spot becomes more and more bigger ... its annoying . what this kind of problem is ? what is the solution ?
    Thank you

    I would say return it to get a full refund or a replacement because it sounds like it got damaged during shippment.

  • 17" MacBookPro LCD light problem

    Hi, I hope somebody can help me with this...
    2 months ago (may 2011), I bought a MBP 17" 4GB RAM 1GB video, the thing is, I used it normally the last time (I don´t remember if that day installed a new firmware, but I believe I installed one few days before the problem) and i turned it off, when I tried to turn it on, I heard the sounds and a CD reading, but the LCD is just black, dead, like it is unplugged, I can adjust the volume and hear the sound of it, I can see the light of the keyboard, and then, if I use my MBP with a window behind of me, with the sunlight I can see the desktop and the menus and use them, that´s why I believe the LCD light is not working. As I said before, I just bought it 2 months ago in USA, but I took it out of the country for work and I can´t find the ticket!, does anybody know if the warranty applies in another country (Mexico)? as an additional data, my MBP haven´t suffered the minimum hit or fall, it has no scratches at all.
    Please somebody help me! =(

    I think your best bet would be to call Apple on the phone and explain your situation and see what they suggest:
    http://www.apple.com/contact/
    Down at the bottom there is a number listed for Mexico.
    You are clearly under warranty, and this does sound like a hardware problem of some sort that should be covered.
    Good luck!

  • G550 LCD Video Problem

    I have a G550 with fixed hash in several locations on the screen, see picture below. I am totally stumped as to what could be causing this problem. The hash pattern is the same regardless of the changes to the hardware, which seems impossible since I have changed everything except the case!
    Actions taken:
        Video is fine on an external monitor.
        A few horizontal lines are seen during Lenovo startup screen.
        Starting in Safe Mode does not make any difference.
        Replaced Flex Cable (three different cables - one used, one new & one removed from a working G550).
        Replaced LCD Screen: (two different screens - one new & one removed from a working G550).
        Removed memory sticks one at a time & tried them in alternate memory slots.
        Replaced Motherboard with used / tested motherboard.
    Would appreciate any suggestions as to what else could cause this problem!!!

  • MBP Hard Drive Problem (Again)

    My MBP is going back to the Geniuses for a HD problem for the 3rd time tomorrow, since I bought it in July. I am confused about exactly what is happening, and I would like any advice anyone might have about salvaging any of my data.
    (The first two times, I brought it in because the HD died. The first time, they told me they had replaced the HD, though they hadn't. They ran diagnostics, decided it did not need to be replaced after erasing my data, and then gave it back to me. I brought it back the next day [t died that night as I was reinstalling] and they replaced the HD in about a day.)
    Everything got really slow this weekend and I had "index" and "database" problems in my mail.app (twice), and my iTunes (twice). Now, the replacement HD has disappeared when I tried to reinstall the system software/repair the disk in disk utility.
    This is the chronology:
    I have had this hard drive for 3 weeks, installed at the local apple store to replace my factory-installed dead hard drive.
    On Friday, my mail app stopped working. After diagnosing the error message (thanks to this forum), I learned that the index file was corrupted, so I reinstalled the index.
    On Saturday, my iTunes said it couldn't read my iPod, so I restored my iPod, erasing all of my data (music, calendars, contacts, important documents). I continued to get the same error message.
    Today, I restored it again, but I still couldn't get iTunes to write more than 2 gb of information (of the 20 gb of data). At that point, I decided I would have to send my iPod in for repairs and stopped trying.
    8 hours later, I got an error message that said the iTunes index was corrupted. I started to put the music back in to iTunes, but the MBP kept kept freezing.
    I restarted the machine and received the blinking questionmark. I put in my system installation disks to run disk utility and, if need be, reinstall my system software.
    This is where it gets interesting:
    Disk Utility can see the topline Disk Description and the SMART status is verified. But the name of the disk itself is wrong and the mount point says it is unmounted. The capacity is correct, but under everything from owners enabled to number of files and space available, there is just a dash.
    Unlike my previous hard drive problem, there is no clunking, and the hard drive appears to be working. Disk Utility found the following: Invalid B-tree node size. The volume needs to be repaired. Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit. 1 HFS volume checked: volume needs repair. And that's it.
    My questions are:
    1. What is happening to my hard drive?
    2. Is it dead or is there any way to fix it?
    3. Is there any way to salvage my data? (Because of my iPod failure, I lost my calendars, contacts, important data from my last big back up 3 weeks ago, not to mention my carefully curated music collection. I have my documents backed up to gmail, but not my notes, which were on my iPod.)
    4. Does it sound like an internal hardware problem or is it really just two bum hard drives (from two different manufacturers) in a row?
    MacBook Pro 2.16 ghz Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    In case anyone receives a series of index problems which escalate into apparent hard drive failure and blinking question mark of doom . . .
    the Geniuses fixed the computer by doing a complete wipe of my hard drive.
    They said that the directory error may have existed from before my last hard drive was installed, but I am not certain how such a thing could exist.
    Because it was a directory error, I lost all of my data on the hard drive, but I was able to take the machine home with me within an hour. Since the erase and reinstallation, my computer is running much, much faster, and seemingly cooler, but that may just be my relief at having a working machine back.
