Need help from Color System/Profile gurus plz!

ok here goes...
I shoot Nikon NEF files (Raw). I use a variety of converters, then move on to PS etc. For a long time I have noticed that the color of the Mac thumbnail in the finder is nice and warm looking, but then when various Raw convertor programs (including Nikon's own Capture NX) get a hold of it, it generates a picture with much more magenta, and not nearly as "golden" as the thumbnail looks.
I would *guess* this has something to do witjh how the Mac generates thumb files for Raw files. Where can I learn more about this? In hopes of one day getting the color from that thumbnail into my raw programs? I suspect it has something to do with color profiles, conversion methods, color tables etc. but I'm totally unsure where to start looking for answers.
Thanks for any help!

I don't know why it has _unknown. Most apps are owned by root and are part of the admin group. Other options are for them to be owned by the user that installed. The group can be read only or read and write. I'm not sure whether that is important.
As I don't think you can do this in the Finder, copy and paste this command in Terminal. You will have to be logged in as an admin user. It will change the owner of Abby Fine Reader to root and set the group to admin. After pasting the command, don't hit return but drag the Abby Fine Reader app to the Terminal window. Then hit return. There should be a space after this command, so if it doesn't paste that way, add the space before draggingsudo chown -R root:admin
If that still doesn't work, give this one a try after doing the first:sudo chmod -R 775 Again, drag the app into the terminal window. That will change the group permissions to read & write.

Serial number disappears from the system profiler... How to get it back?

Hi there,
We have come across a known behaviour where the serial number of the computer disappears from the system profiler and 'about this mac' menu, whwnever the logic board is replaced. Any ideas how to get this information back on the computer(Seems all the macs are affected)
Is it possible to flash the firmware to copy the contents? Heard someone trying to flash BIOS? will this work or will it damage the firmware? Please HELP!!!

You might want to take a look at this Developer Tech Note:
http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn1103.html
Specifically, this quote:
"Caveats for using the serial number
It is possible for a system to lose its serial number so that it will no longer appear either in System Profiler or the I/O Registry. Repairing a system by swapping hardware components is one reason this can happen. Apple does not document the specific details of how a machine can lose its serial number. Once the serial number has been lost there is no means to restore it to the machine."
It sounds like there may not be an easy (or documented) way to put the serial number back.

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
Additionally I have no idea what you are saying here

Hola scj2000-
Muchas gracias por visitar nuestro foro en búsqueda de una explicación al cargo que recién apareció en tu tarjeta de crédito.
Entiendo su preocupación, ya que cualquier cargo extraño que aparece en un estado de cuenta puede ser alarmante. En este caso, el último cargo que puede recuperar usando el correo electrónico que usaste para registrarte al foro, refleja que se renovó un antivirus Kaspersky. Esta autorización nos diste cuando realizaste la compra de tu Lenovo, desde entonces se renueva automáticamente la licencia de antivirus.
Las otras publicaciones que has leído, indican lo mismo. Un cargo que se ha hecho a la tarjeta de crédito que se presentó durante la compra con la autorización del cliente.
Lamento mucho la confusión y espero esto aclare tu duda.
Atentamente,

This article is vague and unhelpful. My iTunes needs help from a pro.
I have over 120,000 songs -- NO movies, TV, radio, or books...
I have other programs which efficiently run things which are not audio-based.
So why can I not get iTunes working well?? It now takes at least 10 secs for any operation to be completed!
That is just plain evil. But I am sure I could do something to help.
All the music is on an 2T external drive.

TS1717 as noted in the thread title...
Brigancook, is the library database on the external or just the media? iTunes reevaluates smart playlists and rewrites its database after every action on the library. I've found this can make a library half that size, with a lot of smart playlists, quite sluggish. That said I'm aware part of my problem is aging hardware. Having the database on the internal drive may improve performance if it is currently on the external.
I'd expect to see an exponential relationship between size and response time which may explain what you see. Cutting down on the number of smart playlists might help. If we're really lucky the long awaited iTunes 11 might have streamlined some of the background processes as well as cleaning up the front end.

Need help with color management

I am looking for someone to help me. Please!
I am looking for help with Photoshop/printer not printing correct colors.
I have: Windows 7, Photoshop CS5, Photoshop Elements, HP Pavillion Laptop, new Okidata C530dn color laser printer
Previously I had a Canon Pixma MP620 and a gentleman from another forum gave me the correct settings for printing on photo paper and colors were perfect. I now have a OKIdata C530dn color laser and have started a business printing business cards and greeting cards, etc., and I do advertisements on a freelance basis.
I will be working a lot with cardstock or cover stock 65-110 lbs paper. I have an old OKIdata 2024e at work, and the colors are much better with that printer than my new personal one. I have tried matching the settings of that printer to mine to no avail. I have finally gotten the color close, but not quite. When I print on my Canon injet the colors match and print perfectly.
I have tried every setting variation that I can think of to get the color correct with my new OKIdata. I have to get the colors correct or my new business will go under because I can't match colors for my customers. I am a self taught Photoshoper and a novice so please bear with me.
Using Okidata PCL. Also have PS

I have gotten the color close, but colors are dull. I have tried an adjustment layer and setting the saturation higher, but that doesn't help. I know my laptop is showing the right colors, (calibrated) because I am still printing to the Canon with cardstock and the colors are perfect using the same settings above.
Tried printing in PSE and it gave me an error that it was not a post script printer. Installed ps driver, still getting errors and it wouldn't print.
I would appreciate any help you could give me before I run out of toner and have to buy the expensive toners, or just slit my wrists j/k LOL
Thanks! JS

You need an ICC profile for your printer. Chromix has an excellent service at http://www2.chromix.com/colorvalet/ which will do this calibration for you. You download some software they provide, then print a test file on the exact same paper you are using for your cards. Then send the output to them and they will calibrate the colors with their equipment and send you the ICC profile file. Once you have it, you'll be able to print accurate colors.
There are other services out there that may cost less, but I do not know how reputable they are. Chromix is a good business I've worked with many times.
If you are trying to run a business and you don't understand color management yet, you may be in for a lot of trouble. Please get the book "Real World Color Management" available at http://www.colorremedies.com/realworldcolor/ and it will save you a ton of money and headaches.

Need help from any Mac OS guru's...

Good Morning All,
Yesterday afternoon I bought a used iBook G4 from craigslist in a nearby town. I bought it to use as a DVD player/web browser type thing on trips.
So I bought it thinking all was good, and that it was going to be a good companion on our planned trip to Washington D.C. this April. But when I got home and tried popping a DVD into the CD-ROM tray, it made some noise and spat it out. So I checked the system profiler and saw that this computer was actually a G3 and the disk drive was only a CD-ROM drive. CRAP!
Knowing I couldn't do anything about this, and that I had wasted $250 on a useless machine I started pawing through my portfolio of old Macintosh software and thought "Wow. Maybe I could get all of this stuff onto this machine."
My problems are as follows:
-The only copy of Mac OS that I have to my name is 8.5
-I've got a ton of great games such as MazeWars, Nanosaur, Hellcats over the pacific.
-I want to keep Mac OS X Tiger on this machine because I do have OS X software that I like to use.
-I've only got about 9GB to do this with
-I know Mac OS classic doesn't support 8.5
-I don't want to use an emulator such as SheepShaver or Basilisk.
-My computer won't start from the 8.5 CD
Is there a way I could install OS 8.5 and switch from OS X to 8.5 by selecting the system folders before I restart? Any help is appreciated
Also: I do have a Mac OS 9.1 update disc if that helps at all...

Hi, Khalbrae -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
It's not obvious, but the usual problem is that the person is looking at a Category page rather than at a Forum page.
The "Post New Topic" button/link is not available on a Category page. It is only displayed when viewing a Forum page.
Category pages display a section (sometimes more than one) near the top which contains a list of the Forums subordinate to that Category. They also display a list of the most recent Topics (threads) active in all the Forums subordinate to that Category - hence the lack of obviousness.
So, in order to be able to post it is necessary to enter a Forum by selecting one (ideally the most appropriate one) of those listed in a section at the top of each Category page.
The type of page is shown at the beginning of the page's name, which is displayed in large face a bit under the "Apple Discussions" legend in the near-top-left of each page. It is also displayed in the page's URL immediately before the "ID" element.
Once you get used to the distinction between Category and Forum pages, your travels in Discussions will become near automatic.

Need help from Blackberry - Can't register 9860 in BB network.

Yesterday I have bought a 9860 torch from an online auction site in Romania. The phone is looking great, working great, except I cannot register it on the blackberry network, in order to use an internet data plan. As soon as I turned the phone on, the yesOPTUS carrier logo appeared on the screen, indicating that this device once belonged to someone in Australia. My carrier is Orange Romania and I am using it on a pre-paid SIM card with the "blackberry unlimited 4" internet option that Orange offers in Romania. When I try to go to Host Routing Table in the phone's menu, there is nothing displayed there. I tried to send the registration message and remove the battery (while the decice is ON) and put it back in, with no result. I have spent a day on the phone with the data plans support team at Orange Romania, virtually troubleshooting every possibility to connect the device to the bb network - they even created a bb access point specifically for my phone number - everything without result. When I tried to create a blackberry account on blackberry.orange.ro with my PIN and IMEI, the page replied that my account is disabled and that I should contact my carrier. Which I did. And they said that I should either talk to Blackberry or yesOPTUS, as there is a possibility that my device is already registered with the BB network on the yesOPTUS, from it's first owner back in Australia, and that my PIN may need to be erased from a database in order to be re-synced with my carrier. The way I see it, it's either that, or Orange does not carry the 9860 in their network (yet?). The certain fact is that I ended up with a beautiful device that I can't use to it's fully potential. Any help from Blackberry is fully appreciated. Thanks.

Optus is in the only one that can remove the PIN/IMEI from their system. You need to contact them.
If the device has been reported lost or stolen, they won't remove it.

Yes there are two bugs, I found the other one first but figured if you fixed the result the other would be obvious. This is homework so only a hint:
look at what happens (and does not happen) to pixel.
the first bug was that i had to use the 'result[][]' array instead of the 'image[][]' array in my last loop, right?
the 2nd bug I really can't find :s been lookin at it for almost an hour now and trying new stuff but nothing works,
first i thought i had to put this line " result[x][y] = min(max(int((factor2 * pixel) + bias2), 0), 255);" inside the for loop above but that didn't fix my problem,
maybe the problem is in my 'imageX' and 'imageY' variable, i don't know? any more tips?
I'm sorry for being such a newb but programming isn't my strongest quality.
cedhoc wrote:
Just one more advice:
Look at the format of the "image" array. The way how to use the values from this array depends on the "image depth" parameter.
In your case, because the image is 8bit, you need to use the "colors" array containing the real RGB value.
Look at the Help for the "Read BMP File VI", you should be able to properly handle your pixels from there.
thanks for pointing that out for me, so I connect the 'totalpix' array with the 'colors' array from the image data instead of the 'image' array, that's correct right?

[Athlon64] Noob needs help optimizing new system

Sorry to post yet another thread, but I've been lurking for the past few days and I only get bits and pieces of what I need. I'm pretty clueless about this stuff as it's my first home-built system
See my sig for system info...
I'm needing help with bios settings. The pertinent stuff (I think - hopefully I got it all down):

My questions mainly concern memory. I bought all this stuff at the Tiger Direct outlet store in Naperville, Illinois. I had intended to buy the K8T Neo-FSR (754 pin), but they were supposedly out of the 754 pin 3400+, and this board/CPU combo had a $100 rebate. Yeah, it's one of those deals with the odd 939 pin 3400+ that everyone has been talking about.
In any case, I already had the Corsair CMX512-3200C2PT picked out, as Corsair said it was compatible with the board. I wasn't aware of the MSI compitibility chart until I came here later that night. I STILL can't find that chart off of the MSI web site.
Anyway, I got it all hooked up and got the standard 4 red LEDs. Not knowing what to do, I took it back to Tiger Direct and the tech played around with it until he stuck an el-cheapo stick (Corsair VS512MB400) in there and it worked. But it only works in slot 2. So here I am.
I started to run memtest86, but it took too long to run and I aborted it for now. For what it's worth, it said the RAM CAS value is 2.5-2-2-5. I don't know what the hell that means, but I know it's important.
My questions:
1. I assume I need manually to set my memory clock value to DDR400?
2. Now that I can get the thing to post, is there any chance I could get the "good" Corsair memory to work by setting the correct latency/CAS values? Again, I don't know what I'm talking about, so forgive my ignorance. What I'm wondering is if I can set everything to what Corsair recommends while I have the cheap memory in there and then replace it with the good stuff?
3. With this board, am I better off with double-sided or single-sided sticks? As I said, I went into the store intending to buy the Neo 754-pin board, but they were out of the Athlon 3400+ in 754 and only had the 939 pin.
4. Anything else in my bios settings that stand out and need to be addressed? I want to make sure everything is optimized.
EDIT: I almost forgot: My CPU temp is runing around 42-49 degrees. Am I in the danger zone? I just bought a generic cooler for now and intend to get a Thermalright XP-120, but I can't find it locally, so it will have to wait.
AND FINALLY...
I don't know if this is related to anything above, but I have been having a hell of a time getting the 6600GT to run DirectX9+ games. The latest drivers for Windows 98SE was 66.94. Yes, XP will be installed soon, but for now... It was failing on dxdiag test for Direct3d 9 and also the third DirectDraw test. I was about to give up and take it back when I discovered that a new beta driver came out today (71.84). I installed it and it passed all of the dxdiag tests. I thought I was in hawg-heaven, but when I run Call of Duty (the only DX9 game I have besides HL2), it slows to an absolute clawl. The level starts out somewhat normal at first, but quickly slows down to the point that performance can only be measured in seconds per frame! All of the patches 1.5 and 1.51 for UO have been installed, but that shouldn't make a bit of difference.
If I don't get my CoD fix soon I'm gonna reinstall that Geforce3.
Thanks much and sorry again for such a long post.

Thanks everyone for the recent replies, but I started this thread almost a month ago (March 3rd), and much has changed since then.
New PSU (see sig).
Replaced the PNY Geforce6600GT with a eVGA 6800
Added another stick of the Corsair Value Select 512 RAM. I didn't even bother trying to get the "primo" CMX stick to work. I just returned it.
Went from Windows 98SE to XP Home.
The PSU did nothing for me at all, but I suppose it's better to have some headroom in the amperage.
The biggest performance booster was the additional 512MB of RAM. It wouldn't have done me any good in 98SE, but I was shocked at how much it helps XP. Quitting a game is almost instant now, where before it would take a good two minutes or so for XP to recover itself.
As for games running slow, the 6800 fixed it right up. CoD absolutely screams now, as does everything else I've thrown at it (HL2, Doom 3, Far Cry). I think the 6600GT was just bad or there is a serious driver problem with the 6600GT's. Went from 3DMark03 score of around 5000 (when it didn't crash) to above 9000 now. And this was all before adding the additional RAM.
Oh yeah, I bought a 74GB Raptor. No RAID for now though. So far I'm not real impressed with the performance. I'm running off of the VIA controller, since my board doesn't have the Promise controller. I don't see much improvement in loading times as compared to the 40GB 7200rpm Maxtor I have running on IDE1. The only time it beats the pants off the Maxtor is defragging. But there's only so much entertainment value in that. The Sandra "file system benchmark" gave me 57 MB/s, which seems pathetic, but I've read some posts here where others are getting an identical rate.
And I'm not too happy to discover, too late, that my overclocking capabilities are severely limited while using SATA.
I do have one more question for now:
When I installed the second 512MB stick, I originally had both sticks in slot 1 and 2. I ran Sandra's memory bandwidth benchmark and got a much lower score than with the single stick (around 3500 MB/s). WHen I had the sticks in 1 and 3, it jumped up to close to 6000 MB/s. Why is that? Just curious.

Need help from Color System/Profile gurus plz!
