My Display is off-color

Earlier, I had the problem of my eMac not turning on. Now that it will, my display is WAY too pink. The folders are pink, the apple in the left hand corner is pink, and the close, minimise and maximise buttons that wold normally be red, yellow and green are now green, light green and purple. The scroll bar is pink, and my entire desktop looks a bit hazy. I've tried adjusting everything from the brightness and contrast to the color and calibrations. Nothing seems to get rid of the hue.

Jjimage2,
You've already tried going through System Preferences> Displays> Color tab> Calibrate button. Did you check the box for expert mode? (That allows you to adjust color temperture, which I recall when misset does give things a distinctly pinkish cast.)
Does this discolorization appear from the moment the Mac starts up or does it appear after you log in? Does it appear in a different user account? (You can create a new troubleshooting-only account in System Preferences> Accounts.)
Since display settings are stored in PRAM (see What's stored in PRAM?), it may help to reset PRAM by restarting while holding down command-option-p-r keys until you hear three sets on bongs, then release the keys. If that doesn't help, you can reset NVRAM; while the Knowledge Base describes NVRAM and PRAM as identical, it helps to think of NVRAM as a superset of PRAM. To reset PRAM, restart holding down the command-option-o-f keys; at the "Welcome to Open Firmware" black text on a white screen type in the following commands and press return after each (case sensitive, no spaces):
reset-nvram
set-defaults
reset-all
The Mac should restart after reset-all (if it doesn't, type mac-boot and press Return)

HT201232 My I phone is restart after some time. Some times find out its off then if I press Home Power button then again re-start. Some time after coming apple logo it take auto restart ...display become blue color.

My I phone is restart after some time. Some times find out its off then if I press Home + Power button then again re-start. Some time after coming apple logo it take auto restart ...display become blue color. I have restored through I tunes and got I cloud backup. But stll have same problem.

Try once again to restore using iTunes, but this time without using a backup, to make sure that this is not software related.
If the phone still restarts on it's own, get it checked, this might then be hardware related after all.

Why do the colors in images embedded in word (TIFF/JPEG) export off-color from Acrobat?

I chose this forum as opposed to the printing and pre-press forum because I have a very limited existing knowledge of color space and profile matching and I didn't want to be (1) shunned and (2) overwhelmed by the level of technical detail.
When I attempt to PDF a word document that contains a TIFF image, the TIFF image appears SIGNIFICANTLY off color. I was able to substantially correct the problem by extracting the TIFF image within the Word document and resaving it as a JPEG, but it still isn't 100%.
Here's what I know:
I'm using Windows 7; Word 2010; and Acrobat X. I also have Photoshop CS5.1 and InDesign CS4.
My color SETTINGS are matched in each application to be tied to my monitor, and my monitor is set to the system default, which is a system default: :sRGBIEC61966-2.1"
I'm using the document for professional purposes, so color matching is important to me, but I'm working with what is available to me at a nonprofit, so that means an Acer X183h monitor and a Canon iR C5185 networked office printer and no real color management policy or equipment.
I'm looking for the best possible solution to maintain color performance between the monitor and the printer.

Incredibly as I posted this the solution came to me - I leave it to the moderators to determine whether this should be preserved or deleted. I wasn't able to find any help on this and it might be valuable to other users.
The image itself that was embedded in the Word Document had a CMYK color profile. It was displaying appropriately in the software, but wouldn't convert to PDF or print. I opened the source file in Photoshop and converted it to my working profile, then re-added it to the word document and it is now reliably reproducing in the right color.
Since dropping outside images into word is a common (if also poor) work process for people creating documents in the nonprofit sector, I think this kind of information could be valuable in the knowlegebase.

How to turn off color management in Canon MX860 for printer profile

I just got my Spyder3Print updated with the SR software to calibrate my Canon MX860 on a Mac OS X system. I am using 3rd party paper (Kirkland) and 3rd party ink (uni-kit). There are no existing .icc profiles out there for this combo. I have been using canons "GL2/GL3" profile which does not give me, as expected, a good color match.
When the program asks to print the target it says to make sure the "color management is off".
I cannot find an "off" selection. In the "color mode" portion of the dialog box I do get to choose between "colorsync" and "canon color matching"???
I was guessing colorsync and then I have to pick a printer/paper/ink .icc profile. Not sure what to use for this first target print.
Not sure if that choice represents color managment off?

Just got the answer from Spyder:
his applies to ALL Canon printers drivers running under both Leopard and Snow Leopard and it's the correct "solution" to get them to print without color management (a critical, unavoidable requirement for building custom printer profiles with any 3rd party printer profiling solution).
Make sure you're running OSX 10.6.2 or whatever the latest is. There have also been some Canon driver updates that will show up in System Preferences:Software Update, so make sure you've got nothing left to apply as an update. Another way to make sure you have the latest Canon driver installed: go to Print & Fax, select your current Canon driver, and click on Options and Supplies... to see what version it is. (It should be 10.26.0.0 or later, and here's the Apple list of latest drivers for all printers):
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
If you don't have the most recent driver, then click "-" to remove the older Canon driver from the list. Then, with the printer attached and powered on, click "+", and add back the driver for it (this should download and install the latest version for you).
Now: when you PRINT and want to turn off color management in Spyder3Print, THIS is the way to do it:
In the Color Matching pane of the driver, select ColorSync (not Vendor Matching, or Canon Color Matching!)
In the popup beneath that, you'll see "Automatic"; a list of all the Canon standard profiles; and a command to choose from other profiles. Use that last command to see a list of all profiles on your system.
Select "Generic RGB" from the list. (this is the key). Then say OK and you'll see that "Generic RGB" shows beneath the ColorSync radio button in the Color Matching pane. This is the secret to disabling color management with the Canon drivers in Snow Leopard (and it also works in Leopard, as well, although in that case, a warning gets displayed underneath "Generic RGB", which can be ignored)
Select the paper type, output quality, resolution, etc. as usual and print the target sheet. (Just leave the Color Options pane alone)
NOW you should get a properly dark (non-color-managed) target print. Measure this and build a profile.
Printing with "No Color Management" from Photoshop actually works the same way. It invisibly pushes through "Generic RGB" or an equivalent when you choose "No Color Management" in its Print dialog, This is why, in the Color Matching pane of the driver, ColorSync subsequently comes up auto-selected and also disabled; Photoshop has done the same thing I just described "under the hood" and as a result, that choice in the driver gets "locked".
When printing through the profile in Photoshop: do it the usual way. (Photoshop Manages Colors, choose the profile, Saturation intent, etc etc etc). It should work fine.
When doing a test print from inside Spyder3Print: since Spyder3Print applies the profile internally to the image data before it's sent to the driver, you should set the driver up exactly the same as when you printed the target image (as I've described above), so this would be ColorSync:Generic RGB in the Color Matching pane.

HT1477 When i disconnect my iPod 2nd Gen from my laptop, its display turns off and working freezes. Please help me.

When i disconnect my iPod 2nd Gen from my laptop, its display goes off and working freezes. Please help me.

The computer freezes? There may be something wrong with the USB port. If the laptop has more than one port, does this happen on any port? If you are disconnecting the shuffle cable from the computer, does it make any difference if you disconnect the shuffle at the other end of the cable first, then disconnect the cable from computer? Or if you currently disconnect the shuffle from cable first, try it the other way.
You may be able to work around this problem, if you get a self-powered USB hub. Something like this one
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/USB2HB7PRO/
There are many choices, but be sure to get one that has its own power supply. You can leave the shuffle cable connected to the hub, and connect the shuffle to the hub, instead of directly to the computer. This may provide a "buffer" for whatever is causing your laptop to shut off when the shuffle is disconnected. Since the hub has its own power supply, it will not rely on the computer for power to re-charge the battery.

Closing MacBook lid w/ mini-DVI to second display turns off second display

I hooked up a MacBook to another display via the mini-DVI to DVI adapter but, when I close the lid of the MacBook, the other display goes off. The display settings are set to mirror and this doesn't happen with my MacBook Pro. With my MacBook Pro, I can close the lid and continue working with the monitor connected directly to the DVI port without issues. Anyone have any suggestions as, to use my MacBook this way, both displays remain lit which is kind of pointless. Thanks in advance,
Derren.
Black 2 GHz Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1.5 GB RAM

It is puts the Macbook to sleep when you close the lid.
All you need to do is press a key on the external keyboard or mouse and it will wake up the Macbook with the lid closed. If you are using bluetooth for your external devices, ensure that the "wake from sleep" option is enabled under Bluetooth setting in System Preferences.

Desktop is no longer displaying all the colors on it's monitor.

My desktop computer is no longer displaying all the colors on its montior. I've replaced the monitor with a known good one and the problem remains the same. The desktop is 6 months old and when I purchased it, the first one had to be replaced because of this exact same issue. This appears to be a common problem. Is anyone else experienced this is issue and has HP recalled any of these specific desktop's because of it?

Wjile there can be no consolation with your plight, you do have the replacement option under warrant. BTW, it does help if you state the exact model or product #. Saying a "series" is like called out that I had a Chevy.

Turning off color with eprint/airprint

I have a Laserjet Pro 300 color MFP. I no longer have an immediate need for the color capability. I do a lot of printing from my iPhone, and if the page I am on has color, the printer (of course) prints in color, wasting those very expensive color cartridges. Is there some way to completely disable the color function on this Printer, either through the printer app or at the printer? What if I just take out the color cartridges?

HI Ramon, After PRINT and in the Epsom R2400 dialogue box (layout page) there are only the following selections offered:
Color matching (nothing available to select)
Paper Handling
Paper Feed
Cover Page
Printer Features (use for my selections but no ability to to turn off color management)
Summary
In CS2 there was a color management Dialogue Box and I selected NO Color management and printed with confidence,
Am I missing something here? Do you use Match Print Colors?
Falling behind in my work and appreciate your time, Roy

How to turn off color management in the print dialogue

I Use Macbook Pro OSX 10.8.2
Lightoom 4
Canon Pixma MG 8250
Profile MG series 8200 GL3/SG3 for Glossy paper.
It is stated that "remember to turn off color managment in the print dialog" when using custom profile (I assume the Profile MG...) is regarded as a custom profile...
I have been lookoing in the print dialogue and I can not find any way to turn off colour managment...
Is this only valid for Microsoft Windows of Is there something I do not understand ?

How do I turn off color management in my Epson Stylus Photo R1900

How do I turn off color management in my Epson Stylus Photo R1900 printer? I am using the laetest Epson driver, I am using Adobe Photoshop CS5 and I'm using OSX 10.5.8.
Thanks
Joe

I have researched the matter a lot and I,
along with many others, still have problems with this complicated
subject.
Color management is as simple in theory as Honoring a Source Profile and CONVERTING it to a Target Profile (monitor or printer) for Proofing.
But yes, we work at the mercy of the rocket scientists who try to dumb an extremely complicated process down so regular folks (like me) can make it work — trouble is I think their approach needs a bit more distilling and common sense sometimes...but it is very doable once you put in the time to figure it out, just follow the CHAIN in your workflow if you're still having problems.
If you want a "simple button" try staying in sRGB and printing out of Apple Preview app using OEM standard papers matched to your printer and OEM ink set.

Why does my iMac display go off when I am starting up or waking up my machine from sleep..

Why does my iMac display go off when I am starting up or waking up my machine from sleep..?
When my iMac goes to sleep I then later try to click the magic track pad or keyboard and it will usually then show the initial password entry login screen and then go off. The machine is still on but the display is black and will sometimes flash up the screen again if I press the magic track pad or keyboard but will then black out again..

Well, there are many different reasons why it does this. It might shut off due to power voltage problems, system overheats, or there is a System Problem. The reason it might be hard to boot up is because your power button might not work properly or your system hard drive is damaged.

Yoga display turns off after 1 minute

I'm having an annoying problem with my new Yoga related to the display and have not seen any other posts with a similar complaint so perhaps this is a simple fix that I'm just not able to sort out on my own. My display turns off after 1 minute of inactivity. The only means for changing behavior like this that I am aware of is through the Control Panel Power Options. My settings for "turn off the display" are 10 minutes on battery and Never while plugged in (note screen shot attached). Regardless of my settings, the screen turns off after 1 minute. I've changed the settings to multiple configurations and restarted with no change in behavior. Perhaps there's some other settings area, maybe something specific to Lenovo that I'm not aware of (since this is my first Lenovo laptop). Anyone with similar problems or insight?

This may be a Windows 8 issue. I finally fixed this problem by identifying the screen saver as the issue (and I wasn't using a screen saver). Type "lock the computer" into the search box after clicking the search charm, which brings up the screen saver dialog box. Mine was set to 1 minute, though I'd never set it myself. If you can't change it, choose a screen saver and you should be able to do so (and can then switch back to no screen saver). BUT, here's the problem. Other things you install (or settings within things you install) can apparently change and override whatever you type in for the delay time. Try applying your new time and exiting from the dialog box, then open it back up again. I was finding that it kept going back to 1 minute. To reset things so that you can get control again, type "user accounts" into the search box and when the dialog box comes up, choose "Reset Security Policies". Then you can go back to the screen saver dialog and successfully change the delay time. See http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-us/ace4085a-b0ba-4a98-898d-cd92d9e88e13/window... for some detail.

W520 - now changes to "projector only" whenever display turns off in power save mode

I have my W520 in a dock with an external monitor. The display is configured to Extend - the external monitor is primary, and the desktop extends onto the W520 screen. I don't have a screen saver. I turn off the display after 30 minutes of inactivity. Until recently both the laptop and monitor screens would turn off after 30 minutes, and then both resume when I moved the mouse or pressed a key.
Recently, the system has started changing to "Projector Only" when the display turns off. After resuming from power save mode, only the external monitor activates, and the W520 screen is disabled. I have to use Fn-F6 to switch back to "Extend" to re-activate the laptop screen.
I have rebooted and re-saved the power plan.
Why has this happened, and how do I fix it?

Hi, timg11
I have a few questions so that I may gain a better grasp of this issue:
1) What is your machine type and model? You can find this information on the bottom of your machine. It should be in format XXXX-XXX.
2) What is your operating system?
3) Does this issue occur is the computer is not in the docking station? (Please try if you haven't already).
Thanks in advance,
Adam

When display switches off I can't get it back without forced restart

When display switches off due to low battery power & I can't get it back even when I plug in to the mains and have to force the PC to restart.
Is there a pref somewhere to disable this?

Hello
When the display goes off exactly? How much capacity has battery at this time? 5%? More?
Try to set this to higher level.
When you work with your notebook and battery level comes to low battery level and the alarm alert will be shown in task bar but you will be able to continue your work several minutes or to connect AC power supply.
I am afraid your notebook reaches critical battery level and then is maybe too late for any action.
Set Low battery level to 10% and when the notification is shown connect AC adapter immediately.
I presume the display must not be off at all.

My Display is off-color
