My screen temperature changes when I launch some apps

I have a problem. It started when I switched to an SSD and changed the RAM, but I think it's a software issue. It stopped for a while and then cambe back again.
Basically when I start some apps (and not everytime, sometimes it does sometime it doesn't), like Byword, Lightroom, Keynote, Pixelmator, Pages, for example, but never Safari to name one, the screen temperature suddenly changes to a colder tone. When I close all these apps the screen turns back to the normal warm temp.
Running the console I think I have found the issue is related with this message, which pops in when I open and close these apps:
10/28/12 10:37:39.217 PM WindowServer[75]: Received display connect changed for display 0x4272dc0
I'm posting two photos from my camera to make you see the problem, as it doesn' obviously show in screenshots:
Warm:
Cold:
Does anyone know hot solve this or to what it might be related (video card is what comes to my mind, but I refuse to aknwledge that my hard drive, RAM and video card failed at the same time)?
Thanks
(Also my Mac takes 30s+ to go to sleep)

This sounds like an issue with the System Management Controller (SMC).  1). Shutdown your MacBook Pro, 2). Make sure the MagSafe adapter is connected, 3). Press and hold the LEFT Option+Control+Shift keys on the MacBook Pro keyboard, 4). While still holding the previous keys, hit the power button in the top right corner.  It won't look like your Mac did anything, but trust me, it did.  You just reset the SMC.  Now boot the Mac normally.  Wait for it to fully boot-up, and then see if this is still an issue.  I had this very same issue on my MacBook Pro after the latest SMC update, and resetting the SMC fixed it.

  • Sudden color temperature change when opening some programs

    I got this sudden color temperature change when I open Photoshop, Maya and a few other games. When I quit the programs the color goes back to normal. It first started happening once a while and I didn't really notice, but now it's become a regular thing... I think it begun after upgrading to Yosemite. It's quite uncomfortable to my eyes but it's bearable. I'm just concerned whether it's a sign for something worse. Please please help!
    I took photos of before and after the color change, basically it becomes much brighter and more blueish.

    Did you ever find a solution for this? It recently started for me too, and it's already getting on my nerves First I thought it was because of dynamically switching the graphics card but unfortunately it happens when I use it on an external monitor only (and thus is locked to the Radeon card)...

  • I just installed Readdledocs on my ipod, and now when I launch the app, I get a screen which says "downloading message" and the app freezes and won't do anything else.  How can I get the app to function again?

    I just installed Readdledocs on my ipod, and now when I launch the app, I get a screen which says "downloading message" and the app freezes and won't do anything else.  How can I get the app to function again?
    This happened after I tried to get Readdledocs to open an epub file which I created in Calibre.

    This is a followup to my own posting above.
    Thanks to Dave Sawyer for posting information about re-downloading an app which has been deleted.  I deleted the app from iTunes.  Then, when I synched, iTunes asked me if I wanted the items on my ipod touch copied back into iTunes.  I said yes and then synched.
    Readdledocs is now working again.  It is no longer frozen.  However, I have learned my lesson.  I will download only pdf's from now on.  I don't think it works so well with epub files.  The text reflow feature of Readdledocs is exactly what I need to use for my work documents on my ipod touch.

  • I had installed some applications on my iphone from my friend's pc, but now when i downloaded some apps on my pc andtry to sync it says the installed apps on my iphone would be replaced by the one from my pc. how can i retain all and copy new apps

    I got some applications like games etc installed on my iphone through a friend's pc.
    now when i downlaoded some apps on my pc and try to sync , it says that the existing apps on my iphone would be replaced by the one in my itune library.
    what is the way that i can have the existing apps on my iphone to remain and also install new apps when i download without losing the installed ones

    I got some applications like games etc installed on my iphone through a friend's pc.
    Were these apps downloaded via your own iTunes AppStore account or your friends?
    now when i downlaoded some apps on my pc and try to sync , it says that the existing apps on my iphone would be replaced by the one in my itune library.
    That's correct. iTunes will delete any apps you have not downloaded through your own iTunes account. If you did use your own iTunes account, choose iTunes > File > Transfer purchases... to move the apps into your own iTunes Library.
    what is the way that i can have the existing apps on my iphone to remain and also install new apps when i download without losing the installed ones
    Re-download the apps through your own iTunes account (pay for them if necessary). Apps cannot be shared between different iTunes user accounts.

  • A private web screen shows up when I close down apps on my ipad, but I don't want to see that web page EVER.  It is a private "incognito" Skype number that I don't want ANYONE to see.

    Yeah, I'm 95% sure that I did that after I closed that Skype, so I was a bit shocked when I saw that screen pop up later :/

    I have also tried the fixes offered in this forum such as using the "Other" mail in setting up the gmail accounts, and not using the dedicated gmail setting.  I also went to google and signed in and enable the additional devices.  I had the same problems with the original account I set up for gmail, but it corrected when i went to using the "Other" instead of the Gmail button.  I was able to set up the new gmail accounts on my iphone without problem and on my husband's ipad1 for his gmail account.  Just the ipad 2 is giving me problems.   Again, thanks for any suggestions.

  • MacBook Pro Won't Launch Some Apps

    I have a Late 2007 MacBook Pro 17" (Santa Rosa).  For the past couple of months, I cannot launch some apps including:
    - iMovie (appears with a light under the dock but the window to actually use it never comes up)
    - iDVD (crashes with window that says that it quitted unexpectedly)
    - Final Cut Express 4 (crashes instantly)
    - LiveType (acts just like Final Cut)
    - and a whole lot more.
    I have tried to reinstall all of these apps but they do the same thing over and over again.  I have also reinstalled Snow Leopard after a complete wipe of the hard drive.  Actually, I have even swapped the hard drive inside the MacBook Pro, but no avail!
    So I have done these things:
    1. Reinstalled all of those apps.
    2. Reset PRAM.
    3. Reinstalled Snow Leopard from wiped hard drive.
    4. Reinstalled Snow Leopard after swapping in new hard drive.
    After this, I brought the computer to the Genius Bar.  They've also reinstalled Snow Leopard twice and don't know what to do.  Right now I have a half-working MacBook Pro.  I am hoping you and other people on the internet know how to fix this.  I am lucky that the 17" MacBook Pro isn't mission critical because I have just gotten a new 15" MacBook Pro to replace it, but it would be nice to have the 17" working again as a secondary computer.
    Any suggestions? Thanks!
    If this helps, there is a little history about this computer - I bought it new and around the second year the graphics card died.  It was the NVIDIA GeForce 8600m with 256mb of dedicated memory.  The logic board had been replaced by Apple and the machine is just over the second year with the new logic board.  Is it time for the second logic board's graphics card to die out?

    Have a go at repairing the disk (why didn't it start up, i.e. what did it do/show exactly?)
    Start up from your disk, or if on lion the Recovery HD by holding the alt button at startup and selecting it, then click the arrow underneath, select your language once the window comes up and click on DiskUtility at the bottom of the list in the main window.  Then select your Macintosh HD and "repair disk".  It will tell you if it thinks the disk is ok.  If you are starting up from a disk, DiskUtililty should be at the very top (the writing) under "Utilities", not the main window, which will only let you re-install the operating system.
    Questions: what operating system?  All apps or just some?  Do you know anything else helpful, like installations, deletions just prior?  Font problems?

  • Display color changes when I start some applications.

    Hello.
    Today I reinstalled OSX 10.8.1.
    All applications are up2date.
    But some applications like iPhoto have a strange behavior. When I start them, the display color changes. It looks like it has a blue fog.
    As soon as I close the application it's back to normal. Only happens for a few applications.
    In the console I see the following entires when I start the application and the display changes:

    I had the same problem early on in Mountain Lion - whenever an application kicked in that used the discrete GPU, the screen would get a bluish tint. I 'resolved' the situation by using Cody Krieger's gfxCardStatus and kept the mode on Integrated Only. This, of course, slowed down some applications but, by and large, I was able to live with it. Then one day - just out of the 'blue' - I decided to switch back to Dynamic Switching: and, lo and behold, by blue tint was gone when the discrete GPU kicked in.
    I only know how to temporarily fix the problem - you're one of about a dozen people that have reported it both here and in the Adobe Photoshop users forum. Try the gfxCardStatus 'fix' and then see if the problem doesn't rectify itself after a bit. It wasn't the 10.8.1 update that fixed my problem - it was just a week or so of running on integrated only.
    Let me know if this doesn't work for you...

  • Redshift-scheduler - rule-based screen temperature changer

    redshift-scheduler, as the name implies is a scheduler program for redshift.
    Redshift adjusts the color temperature of your screen according to your surroundings (meaning according to the time of day and your location). This may help your eyes hurt less if you are working in front of the screen at night.
    However, not everyone has the same day-schedule and likes their screen "turning red" at ~17:00 in the afternoon.
    redshift-scheduler uses a configuration file that specifies a number of rules. Rules define time periods within the day and their corresponding temperature (or temperature transition).
    Generally, rules state something like this:
    from 11:00 to 18:00, I'd like the maximum screen temperature (6500K)
    from 18:00 to 20:00, I'd like a gradual decrease from 6500K to 5000K
    from 20:00 to 23:30, I'd like a gradual decrease from 5000K to 4500K
    etc.
    See the README to learn more: https://github.com/spantaleev/redshift-scheduler
    AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/redshift-scheduler/
    Any comments would be appreciated.

    I'm sorry but this is too funny to pass up.
