Monitor Changes Colors and Contrast? Anyone know the preferences?

Hello,
There have been a couple of times that the monitor/screen on my IMac G5 using OS 10.3.9 has gone on the blink, becoming high contrast, bright and not usable. I removed the preferences in the Library and put them in a new folder with a new name: Preferences/Old. Then when I rebooted the monitor was back at the normal setting which was great accept I lost my settings for "Mail," actually lost all of my "Sent" mail, lost my preferences for some software programs, etc... Now, I know that the Screen Monitor has certain prefs of its own...plists and if I just removed those and rebooted, I shouldn't loose the other things that I lost. Does Anyone know which preferences are specifically for the Monitor?
Best,
Lucin

I don't know the settings but I'd go to my user library preferences folder, set it to display by date modified, change a setting in the displays preferences, then see which files changed most recently and at the time of the setting change and double check the most likely one.

  • Changing color and contrast before capturing analog video?

    Is it possible to change color (colorcast / saturation and contrast etcetera) before capturing analog video in Final Cut (software)? I have some old dv tapes I would like to upscale to hd and are considering to upscale via the super vhs outlet / connector on the camera through an I/O box (maybe Matrox).
    Do you loose much quality when compared to capturing from DV (digital capture)? I would like to make "a first generation" good capture.....

    You would need a capture card and a deck with built in controls, or an external TBC that works with compatible decks. Not every deck allows for this external control.
    S-VHS or component out would be lesser quality than straight DV capture via firewire. Via firewire it is lossless...straight digital capture. analog capture is a loss of quality. Capture as DV and then upscale with After Effects or Compressor...or get a DV deck with SDI out and capture with...oh, the Mini doesn't do SDI. You'd need the MXO2 LE for best quality capture. With your options, the best bet would be capture as DV and then use Compressor. Or spring for the Matrox MXO2 LE.
    Sorry, good quality costs...

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • Does anyone know the status of the new CMYK monitor display Apple is developing?

    Does anyone know the status of the new CMYK monitor display Apple is developing?

    I have the same iMac as you but with a 1 TB hard drive.
    Apple replaced the 1 TB hard drive of iMacs manufactured between October 2009 and July 2011 because of problems. When I took my iMac, the Genius gave me the bill (even if the repair was free) and the 1 TB hard drive cost about $100. This was with a 1 TB Seagate hard drive, so the cost for a 500 GB hard drive may be smaller, depending on the brand

    Hi,
    What version of the OS did you upgrade from ?
    Anything before OS X 10.8.2 may have an issue if the Logic/Mother board has been replaced and the Serial Number not "flashed" back to it.
    In the Apple Icon menu use the About this Mac item.
    In the new panel click twice on the line that tells you the current OS level
    It will change to the Build number (and alternative count to the OS versions) and then the Serial Number.
    If it is missing you need to get it replaced.
    (It is supposed to be done on Repair or Refurbishment).
    An Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider as the best choices.
    There are apps you can download (They are Mac Model specific) but needs careful typing as it is a once only trip.

  • My eyes failing, or has Jive been messing with the typographical color and contrast of text?

    Are my eyes failing more egregiously, am I having another one of my increasingly frequent senior moments, or has Jive been messing with the typographical color and contrast of text in the forums?
    For some reason, I'm noticing today a very weak gray text and diminished contrast between text and background?
    Monitors regularly and often calibrated with hardware pucks. 
    I had my eyes checked and new prescription glasses in the last few months, now I wondering what other tests I may need.  Or is it really Jive messing with us again?
    Thanks in advance.

    I hope you have slept well, my friend, and again find the forums to be as pleasurable to use as always.   
    Your screen grab seems exceptionally clear and contrasty to me, when shown at full-size.
    I have personally blocked typekit.com so as to avoid using the Adobe fonts entirely.  That seems to have helped me deal with this place better.
    Here's what Dave sees (his screen grab from above) vs. what I see here (mine's on bottom):
    Latest trouble for me is that for about the past week I have to log in every time I visit, regardless of the selection of [  ] Remember Me.  That's just a little too much trouble to go through to be at this wonderful place.  Sigh.

  • How can I get the color and contrast on photos to appear the same in Organizer and Editor?

    In PSE 10 (Windows 7), When I edit photos in the Editor and get them the way I want them, they appear considerably different when I send them back to the Organizer, both in color and contrast.  Since I print from the Organizer, they appear in print as they are in the Oganizer, and it's not what I had in the Editor.  I set the color the same in both Editor and Organizer from the Edit menu, but I still have the problem.  Any assistance would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

  • I am moving from Southern California to Maui, Hawaii and I need to figure out the best way to get my 24 inch iMac across the ocean. Does anyone know the best way to do this?

    I am moving from Southern California to Maui, Hawaii and I need to figure out the best way to get my 24 inch iMac across the ocean. Does anyone know the best way to do this? I have found GearGrip's LCD harness so that I can do carry-on onto the plane...  Or maybe use a Pelican Case to do it as a "checked bag"? Or any other suggestions??! Please help!
    Thanks so much!!

    I don't recommend you send the iMac in a checked bag. Might get damaged.
    Check the airlines website for carry on guidelines.
    Or, if you have the original box that the iMac came in, if you have someone who can pick up the iMac for you, send it ahead Fed Ex and insure the package.
    Just make sure the display is covered to protect it. A blanket perhaps.
