New monitor profile won't stay selected

I've been using Snow Leopard for 2 years (Mac Mini) and had two different monitors in that time. I just got an Asus VE228 monitor and it was really bright and washed out. So I made a setting that looks good but it won't stay selected after a reboot.
When opening the System Preferences and going to the Display section, it switches to the right profile the moment I click on the Color tab. I have to do this every time I reboot.
Repairing permissions did not fix it. I tried making a new user and it does the same thing with that user. I tried a system reinstall and it didn't help.
I tried a different mac mini with mountain lion and it works fine with this monitor.
Can anybody help me get my monitor setting to stick?
Thanks,
Scott

Ok I have a new plan to do this.
It would work if Spry didn't keep overwriting my colours.
I have spry:odd and spry:even set on this table. I have also now removed spry:select
When someone clicks on something I make a note of the rowID and store that globally. I also set the clicked row to have the correct color and have added an id to all the rows which includes their rowID so I can easily do a document.getElementByID to find the row that should be selected.
Now I have added an onPostLoad to the notification which finds the correct row by the id I have set and then sets the color. If I put in an alert directly after I can see that this has worked.
The problem is that spry then overwrites the background colour with the spry:odd and spry:even colours.
So... what I need to know now, is how I can do something to the row directly after spry has finished setting colours.

  • Finder won't stay selected if other programs open and can't open new window

    I have just noticed a new problem. If other programs are open, Finder won't stay selected program. If I alt tab to it or click on it in dock, it shows on menu bar for a half second and goes away. If I right click on icon in dock and select open new window, it will not do so. If I select a folder from the desktop, it opens in Finder with no problem and I can move within the Finder at will.
    I have updated all software. I am running the current Macbook Pro 15in. No other problems noted so far.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance

    Hi Sleddaddyfro, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Do you have another account you can log into?
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport in 10.4 & below, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Stuffit AVR has been a big one, if you have that use the Pref Pane to turn it off, but others have been implicated too. Check System Preferences for a Stuffit Pref Pane and disable AVR.

  • Show date and time in menu bar won't stay selected

    Using 10.6.7 with all updates as of the time I am writing this.
    Show date and time in menu bar is unselected and unselectable. When I select it (click it) it will unselect itself. I will see the checkmark for 1/2 a second, but won't stay selected.
    I've reparied permissions in the Disk Utility as described by a similar post (on an older version of the OS) with no luck.
    At a little bit of a loss. Spending the mandatory 30 minutes with various forms of Google searches with no luck.
    Looking for new ideas other than an OS restore.

  • Creating a new monitor profile

    Does anyone know how to Create a new monitor profile...Running Windows 7 with Elemnts 9 and I cant find a Adobe Gamma Wizard on my PC.

    Adobe Gamma has been long discontinued, because it was never meant to work with anything but the old fashioned CRT monitors (the ones like  tube television sets).
    You may have some kind of utility in your video driver, which is better than nothing, but the best way to calibrate a monitor is with a hardware device. They're not nearly as expensive as they used to be--check out the Huey or the colormunki, for example.

  • Create a new monitor profile?

    I'm using a big screen iMac at work to connect to my Mac Pro at home (With a smaller monitor). Can I create a new monitor profile closer to the iMac's monitor size?

  • New Mac Pro won't stay asleep

    Hi everyone. I took delivery of my new Mac Pro a few days ago. It's the highest spec model (12 core, 64gb memory, 2 x 6gb graphics and 1TB SSD). It's connected to two 30" screens and networked to a Windows storage server.
    The problem I have is that it won't stay asleep. Basically after being asleep for a couple of minutes the screens suddenly come back on and the login window appears as though somebody has pressed a key. After a minute or so it goes back to sleep and then it wakes up again and continues in a cycle.
    I have tried making sure all programs are closed and nothing is running at all but it still happens.
    I just wonder if anyone else has had this issue or might know a solution?

    Okay thanks for all the help guys, I've discovered what the problem is but not how to fix it.
    I unplugged everything but the bare minimum and the computer stayed asleep just fine. I then plugged everything in one thing at a time and tested. The culprit was one of my screens! I have an NEC Spectraview Reference 301 screen. It worked just fine on my old Mac Pro but when this screen is powered up the new Mac Pro will not stay asleep for more than 1 minute. My other screen is an Apple Cinema display and this works just fine on its own.
    The solution for now is that I have to remember to hit the power button on the NEC screen before I leave the computer. This is fine but I'd love to find out what's causing this issue so I don't have to remember every time! I'm thinking maybe the NEC has some built in power settings so I'm going to fiddle with them now. If anyone else has any further ideas I'd love to hear them!

  • New iPhone 5s won't stay connected to my iMac,

    brand new, up to date iphone 5s won't stay conected to my imac 10.7.5, computer says iphone lacks necessary services. seems to connect briefly before dissing my phone. what to do?

    The little circle means you are connected to Edge data (if you are on GSM). It is the slowest of the data speeds. There has to be a reason you are losing your wifi. Have you tried to reset your wifi router? Does the wifi stay connected at locationis other than home? Steps to try for wifi troubles are after resetting the router, reset your phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together  until you see the Apple logo and then release. If this does not help, then go into Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings. Understand this will remove all wifi passwords of other wifi networks as well. If this doesn't work, then you may have to try and restore the phone, first from a backup and if that doesn't help, then as a new device.

  • Cannot create a new monitor profile

    Just got new 27" imac.
    Everytime I try to calibrate monitor I get,
    error, could not create new profile.
    Is this some issue? thanks.

    make a back up if you dont already have one, read those carefully and go down the list. the second option should sort it, and what profiles are you talking about? connectivity or user profile for phone, text, email stuff? 
     1. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
    Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list. The default code for ALL operations listed here is 12345
    2. *#7370# - Reformat your phone (out of the box, tho keep in mind that most newer nokia phones at least n series, e series and s60 based phones have udp - user data preservation so not ALL data may be lost. still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.)
    3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
    hard reset - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons ( for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up. )
    If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service for assistance.

  • New iPod shuffle won't stay on, charge, and not recognized by computer

    My daughter won a new iPod Shuffle that as far as we know has never been opened/used till today.  We have iTunes downloaded and working on our computer.  But when plugging in iPod via provided USB cable, the computer (and I've tried two different ones) will not recognize anything is plugged in.  Also, I don't even think the iPod is working at all.  The amber light only comes on for one second when turned on/plugged in, then goes off.  I know the USB ports I've tried to use it with are adequate (i.e. fast/powerful enough) because they are the main USB ports of the computers (no hubs or dual ports) and they work with other Apple products just fine (including other iPods), so that can't be the problem.  Help?!  She's so disappointed.

    I have exactly the same problem with both my ipod shuffles. That suggests to me that it is a problem with the ipods rather than my PC or computer software. I'm surprised that no Apple tech has suggested a solution yet.

  • Brand new iPod touch won't stay connected to Wifi

    I got a brand new white iPod touch for Christmas, and I can get it to connect to the internet and I can use the internet, but then after a few minutes it drops off the connection and I have to go back in and reconnect it. I know there isn't anything wrong with the wifi connection at my house because I have an older iPod touch (3rd generation) and it has always connected and stayed connected without a problem. My mom and brother also got the same iPod touches for Christmas, and theirs do the same exact thing.

    Change the router SSID (network name) and password to something shorter than the defaults.  If you dig into the router configuration web page you will find a short SSID.  My SSID is 5 characters long, and the password I use is 10 charcters long.

  • New Wireless Keyboard won't stay linked

    I use a MBP running Leopard in closed lid configuration at work and at home most of the time unless I'm on the road. My old white wireless keyboard never forget it is synched with my laptop. However, at home I constantly have to re-introduce my new aluminum wireless keyboard to my closed lid laptop. This gets old because when I restart at home I usually like to boot off of an external drive, and of course with no active keyboard I can't use the "option" key to select my boot drive.
    This did not do this under Tiger BTW.
    Any ideas? I reset PRAM. Should I delete all wireless keyboards and start again? Can more than one wireless keyboard be used on the same computer (at separate times)?
    Any suggestions would be helpful in order to avoid having to crack the laptop lid open to get to the non-wireless keyboard on the laptop. This sometimes confuses my external video output to my

    May the new wireless keyboard itself has connecting problem, restore the factory default settings.

  • Fields won't stay selected when trying to calculate.

    I'm sure I'm making some basic mistake as I am new to acrobat (using XI).  I am simply trying to do some very simple calculations.  I want to add about 4 fields together for a total and then multiply that total by a fixed number.
    I went into form editing, brought up the properties dialog for the field where I wanted the total to go, clicked on calculate, selected "the value is...sum +" button,  pressed pick, a list of all the fields came up, I selected fields I wanted totaled, hit ok..........no fields actually appear in the box below the "value is" button.
    I tried the "simplified field notation".  same thing...what I typed didn't show up after hitting ok.
    HELP!!!!!!
    Thanks in advance.

  • Create A New Monitoring Profile In Grid Control

    Hi All,
    We need to set up a monitoring user in grid control to monitor only a few limited metrics i.e FRA area filled , Shared Pool usage, Archiver hung,cpu usage & memory usage..
    This account would be provided to a monitoring team to view only these metrics and of course wont have rights to modify anything in the database so only read only access...
    I managed to create a read only account from Setup----Administrators---Create...
    So doing the above i have created the read only user from the appropriate options, now my only question is that i do not want to give read only access for any other metrics apart from the ones i mentioned above..
    Is it possible to set only the above five metrics.
    Thanks...

    Hi;
    For your issue i suggest close your thread here as changing thread status to answered and move your issue to Forum Home » Enterprise Manager » Enterprise Manager Grid Control

  • Collapsed thread won't stay selected

    Periodically, if I select a collapsed thread in and don't quickly open it or move to another message, Mail will deselect the threat (leaving no message selected). It only takes a second or two so this makes keyboard navigation somewhat tedious.
    Any thoughts?
    (my software is up to date and I don't have any Mail plugins installed)

    PBG4 (TiBook) 800 Mhz

    I'm having the same issue and it drives me nuts. I assumed it was a simple bug and would be fixed soon, but not so. It started happening to me after I upgraded to Leopard, so it is something in the Leopard version of mail. The fact that there aren't more people complaining about it says to me that it must be something special that tickles the problem. Two things that occur to me is that this is my gmail/IMAP account, and that I have upgraded from an older Mail app. What is your situation?
