Retains 30" Cinema Display Callibration Settings through a system reboot.

I'm rebooting my entire system and having a spring clean. My 30" Cinema Display was callibrated with a Monaco Spider at the photo lab I use (gratis - they'll charge next time!) and I just want to retain my settings so I don't have to recallibrate afterwards. In the idiot proof language of a 3 year old, can anyone tell me which files I need to preserve? Thanks, Harry

If you go into Displays preferences and click on the Color tab and then click on the Open Profile button, the ColorSync Utility should launch and open a window. At the top of the window will be the name of the currently active ColorSync profile with a hex string identifier and a .icc file suffix, like xxxxxxx.icc where the xxxxxx's are a string of letters and numbers. If you seach in the Finder for that exact hex string you should find the file, likely in /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays, or at least that's where it lives on my system. If you copy that file for safe keeping, you should be good.

  • Original ADC 22" Cinema Display Works w/new MBP, doesn't with older one

    I have two MacBook Pros. One is from late 2007. Core 2 Duo, max 3 gigs of RAM, non-unibody. The second is from late 2009. Unibody, max 8 gigs RAM, etc.
    I also have two Apple Cinema Displays. One is 22", ADC. The other is 23", also ADC. I have ADC->DVI adaptors for both.
    When I plug either of the two MBPs into my 23" display, it works perfectly. Auto-detects, screen flashes and resizes and wiggles a bit and everything just works exactly as expected.
    When I plug the newer (2009) MacBook Pro into the 22" display, it also works perfectly.
    When I plug the older (2007) MacBook Pro into the 22" display, nothing happens. No flicker, no screen shift, no work. No lines written to the system.log file, no indication that the laptop even notices that it's plugged in.
    Here is a list of troubleshooting steps I have tried. (Please don't ask me to try any of these.)
    * As noted above, I tried the 22" display with the newer laptop. Works fine.
    * As noted above, I tried the 23" display with the older laptop. Works fine.
    * Tried plugging the display into the laptop while the laptop was off, then turning it on.
    * Tried plugging the display into the laptop while laptop was asleep, then waking it.
    * Tried plugging the display into the laptop while laptop was awake.
    * Tried pushing the display power button while it was plugged into the laptop.
    * Tried the 'detect displays' button in the System Preferences.
    * Tried zapping the PRAM
    * Tried resetting the power management unit.
    * Tried unplugging/replugging display power while connected to the laptop.
    * Tried swapping the two power (ADC->DVI) adaptors.
    (The problem follows the LCD, not the adaptor.) Also, just to add to the mix, I have tried plugging ANOTHER vintage 2007 MacBook Pro into this 22" display, and it also displayed the same symptoms: absolutely did not recognize the display, no matter what I did.
    I find this really baffling. Why (HOW?) would the original Apple Cinema Display be incompatible with the 2007 MacBook Pro? Or what defect would make the Cinema Display not work with the 2007 MacBook Pro, but work fine with the 2009 MacBook Pro? The only difference I know of aside from a different video chip is the fact that the newer MBP requires an extra adaptor to get from DVI to the mini display port thingie.

    I wonder whether you've solved this problem. I have the same issue with my MBP. The 20" Apple Cinema Display is connected through an ADC/DVI converter to a DVI KVM switchbox. It works fine with my G5 tower, but ever since I installed Leopard, it doesn't work on the MBP (in fact, if I plug it in the computer crashes). It worked fine before. I brought the MBP to the Genius Bar, and it worked fine there connected to a regular DVI monitor.

  • 10.5.2 and santa rosa mbp cinema display issue

    not only did the update hang... It took disconnecting everything and reseting the pram just to get it past the initial white screen.. once it booted the display on the mbp flickered like 7 times seemingly adjusting it's color profile over and over. I plugged in my 30 inch and it appeared to be working fine.. but then i noticed that the brightness of the display on the santa rosa wasn't responding at all.. and neither were the keyboard keys that usually control the brightness of the cinema display.
    So I decided to reboot.. well. what do you know, won't reboot again unless I unplug not only the cinema display, but the firewire and usb extensions that go with it, and my fire800 external... I'm not sure which it is as I'm not going to test it risking anything.. it's something though.. it seems like a power issue... and I'm worried it could get worse.. if i don't restart and unplug everything the fans speed up all the way and it just sits..
    I am not going to reboot for a while now.. hopefully until there is a solution.. help?
    and not to mention I was hoping for a fix with 10.5.2.. try calibrating your color in expert mode.. there's not even a button on the right slider.. I was told that this in their database, and escalated by two separate geniuses.. over 2 months ago..

    not any ideas?

  • Cinema DIsplay sleeps when I use Boot Camp with Radeon 5870 through DVI connection

    I just created a bootcamp partition on my Mac Pro (1,1) with Radeon 5870 and XP Professional so I can play Train Simulator 2012 with maxed out settings. Well after hours of installing Windows XP and updating it (via Parallels so I could do other things while waiitng for Windows) I got Train Simulator 2012 installed, Windows XP Professional fully upto date and reboot to bootcamp. I see the Windows screen and then my monitor goes to sleep (best guess). I am using an Apple Cinema Display 20" and is of course connected to the DVI port. One guess (and I hope I am totally wrong about this) is I think I remember reading the DVI port id display 3 not 1. I hope this isn't the problem (requiring me to buy a $40 Mini Display port for DVI adapter.
    Any ideas as to why this is happening? I was so looking forward to playing Train Simulator with maxed out graphics via Boot Camp with the Radeon 5870 1GB. Don't get me started as to why my line out is not being detected by XP Pro.
    I also have the latest Bootcamp drivers for XP (3.2).

    Never used XP and on Mac Pro I wanted to use all 4-cores and more than 1.9GB RAM but often it seems that in the past and with Fusion anyway you would need to install Windows updates and drivers natively not thru or in the VM.

  • HT5219 Can I use 2 displays when I connect a 1920x1080 display through Thunderbolt to the 27 cinema display when it´s connected to the all new 13" Mac Book Air with thunderbolt?

    Thank you, I have read that I could daisy chain the HD RAID enclosure on one of the thunderbolt ports with another monitor, if the monitor were at the end of the chain, but I do not know if the other port would still simultaneously support yet another external display at the same time.

  • 23" Apple Cinema Displays gos black when routed through DVI extenders boxes

    I have an ATI radeon 9650 with two DVI ports. My new set up requires my Mac to be further than the dvi connector's present lenght to my 2 HD cinema displays. I purchased 2 DVI extender boxes. Once connected the Utilities does not show the displays as Cinema HD Displays. And worse yet they both go black and the power light blinks. When I hook up the 23" directly through DVI to the G5 both displays come on. However the one connected through the extender box still shows the wrong display profile.
    I have check and re-checked the cables, extender boxes, my graphic card and all seems to test out properly. I know this because I have another G5 with same specks that I have tested these hardwares on. Finally I thought it was my Bootup drive so I did a full erase and clean reinstall. the monitors worked fine for 10 minutes and then when I clicked on Displays in system pref window they both went black again. I can only conclude that the DVI extender box is somehow changing the signature of the HD Displays and the the system freaks out!
    THE MODEL OF THE DVI extenders are DAS 101,and 101R

    I am at my wits end. I need to get to work before I loose all my clients. PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP!
    PS total lenght of CAT5 DVI extenders from Mac to Display 15ft max

    Naelm G, I just read your first post a little more carefully. Is it true you are only trying to place the Cinema displays 15 feet away from the Mac? That's not very far. If you don't care about also extending the Firewire and USB, then you might be able to get away with a simple 10 foot DVI extension cable like this:
    http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=102&cp_id=10209&cs_id=1020903&pid=2406&seq=1&format=2
    The combinded length of the Cinema's built-in cable plus the 10 foot extension cable will be more than 15 feet. This would be the cheapest way to go by far.
    Or if you want to extend the Firewire and USB along with the the video, then Gefen makes an extender that will do that:

  • 17" LCD Cinema Display does not work on G4 Tower with ATI 9000

    Hi,
    I have a G4 Tower with the original AGP ATI Radeon 9000B video card. My friend gave me this unit just recently but not the original monitor. Well after he got his new 30" Cinema Display he gave me the original 17"LCD Cinema Display. I was so happy, plugged it into the card and fired up the CPU but nothing! just blank! It is not getting any power for the USB ports or anything. My buddy says the monitor was checked before I picked it up. I yanked the Video card out and put it back in, inside the CPU was clean as was the card, put it back together and still nothing. The VGA monitor I have is connected via adapter to the other input and works fine. I tried doing display settings and the Cinema is not even detected. Is the Video card fried on the digital side?
    Do I need a new one?
    Here is the info on the CPU:
    Machine Model: Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics)
    CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.9)
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    CPU Speed: 400 MHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
    Memory: 1.5 GB
    Bus Speed: 100 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: 4.2.8f1
    Serial Number: XB0120xxxxx
    Any help wold be appreciated.

    Hi MFG,
    Welcome to the discussions.
    The G4 AGP Graphics model originally shipped with an ATY Rage 128 graphics card. The ATI Radeon 9000 graphics card that is installed in your G4 is not the original card.
    The ATI Radeon 9000 comes with a native ADC port (which you are trying to use). This port is only fully functional if the computer is ADC enabled. Your model of G4 is, unfortunately, not ADC enabled.
    You can confirm this by opening the computer and having a look at the AGP slot (where the graphics card is installed). In ADC enabled Macs, there is an extra slot at one end of the AGP slot to accomodate an "extra leg" that the ADC graphics cards (such as the ATI 9000) have. This extra leg supplies the power and USB feed. You'll probably find this extra leg with no slot for it to go into.
    What this means is that you are not getting power and USB feed through the ADC port to your display.
    If you want to get the 17" ADC Apple LCD display working off this card (it's definitely the LCD display and not the CRT display, please confirm), you will need to use a DVI to ADC adaptor such as this one:
    http://www.drbott.com/prod/db.lasso?code=0111-DVAD
    and run it off the DVI output.
    You can run your VGA screen at the same time (if you want to) off the ADC output by using this adaptor:
    http://www.drbott.com/prod/db.lasso?code=0117-ADCV
    This will work off the ADC port because, although the ADC port is not getting USB or power feed, it's still getting the DVI feed (which is what this adaptor needs).
    Cheers!

  • Apple TV not working with new 23" cinema display

    OK so I finally found a functional use for my new Apple TV, which has been sitting unused in my living room. My MacBook Pro already connects to the HD projector in there, so Mac TV is just less functionality and redundant.
    I decided the only use I have for a keyboardless Mac interface for just music, podcasts, photos, and videos is the bathtub.
    Being the Mac fanboy that I am, I wanted the solution to be all Apple.
    So I headed down to my local Apple Store with the intention of buying a new 23" Cinema Display for my Apple TV and an iPod HiFi for the sound. I was dismayed to see them showing off the Apple TV on Sony LCD TVs. Why wouldn't Apple want to sell people a triple-play package and have it set up as a demo? After all, they weren't selling the Sony TVs anyway.
    But my first sign of trouble was the very nice store employee who didn't know if the Apple TV would work on a cinema display. But he definitely wanted to find out when I got home. Searching here, I found posts that seem to confirm that it would work, but the actual source is related to an older ADC cinema display, not the new ones.
    I set everything up and used a Toslink-minijack adapter to run the optical digital audio from the Apple TV to the iPod Hifi. I used an HDMI-DVI-D adapter to connect the cinema display to the Apple TV. I powered it all up.
    I got the white Apple logo on the screen, then everything went black. I used the Menu and + keys on the remote for 6 seconds to cycle through the resolutions. Still all black. I used the Menu and - keys on the remote to reset to factory settings. Again booted into blackness.
    Interestingly, while using the + and - keys on the Apple TV remote, the iPod HiFi volume was lowered and raised simultaneously with the moving of the menu selections in Apple TV (I could hear the clicks). What this means is, 2 remotes, each paired to each device, will be needed for proper operation. This is why having too simple a remote is lame.
    At this point I am dead in the bathtub water. I drop more money on Apple than it costs to get a new iMac (which is plan B) just so I can give the Apple TV a shot in my bathroom. But it all doesn't fit seemlessly together on first try.
    Any suggestions? Could the HDMI-DVI-D adapter be blocking the HDCP signal needed to display an image? Is DVI-D the wrong adapter to use? Any help is appreciated.

    I've not been convinced a monitor will work with the tv, but I have to accept the word of those that have had success. I'm not so certain that a monitor is a suitable first choice, maybe if you have one lying around OK, but to buy one instead of a tv is not only a very expensive alternative but even if it works you will have no way of controlling the brightness etc.
    Any suggestions? Could the HDMI-DVI-D adapter be blocking the HDCP signal needed to display an image? Is DVI-D the wrong adapter to use?
    Possibly, Did you ever manage to repeat getting the apple logo or indeed anything even if only for a few seconds. DVI-D or DVI-I would be the right connector, don't use a DVI-A

  • Different tint between Cinema Display/PC montior and TV?

    Hello!
    I purchased a Samsung LED TV for monitoring FC Studio trough a AJA Hi5 HDMI miniconverter. I can't afford a Hires SDI HD Pro monitor (3.000 euro or more).
    Image on the TV looks bluish than on the Apple Cinema Display or another PC monitor. But the Samsung TV has several image settings, one is called "movie" and it is supposed to be used in a darkened room. Curiously under the "movie" setting, the image looks like the Apple Cinema Display! No bluish.
    The other TV settings are "normal", "standard" and "Dinamic" for lit rooms.All look bluish than the PC monitor.
    I made an HD video quicktime H264 and send it to a PC. It looks same as the Apple Cinema display.No bluish.
    The big question; what color shoud I trust: TV or monitor?
    Thanks!

    The "bluish" tone you're seeing on the consumer monitor is likely due to it being set to a colour temperature up in the 9000Kelvin zone. Its a cheap way to create the impression of a much brighter ("whiter") picture. It starts to compensate for the enormous deficiency that solid-state displays have in generating enough green so that everything doesn't wind up looking magenta.
    The reason that the "movie" setting likely looks correct, or at least closer to the Apple Cinema is because they are supplying a contrast/colour temperature setting closer to D65, for a warmer, "filmier" rendition. Its a Kodak thing.
    So now that you know that the manufacturers are lying through their teeth to consumers, how confident are you about using a "sweetbox"? Grading is usually about seeing the actual values, rather than a highly pumped-up, compensated version. Maybe you can't afford a calibrated grade monitor -- can you afford to be wrong?

  • DVDs look horrible on Apple Cinema Displays

    I compress my HD video using Compressor or Adobe Media Encoder, using Compressor's 'Best Quality 90 min' settings. Then burn to a single layer disc through DVD SP. It looks fine on an SD CRT monitor, but when playing back on an Apple 23" Cinema Display, it looks like it's been digitally uprezzed - basically it looks horrible.
    However, when purchasing an SD DVD from the store, it plays back beautifully on the Apple displays.
    I don't think it's the compression settings. Could it be that I'm burning & duplicatin instead of stamping & replicating? I'm getting lost with this.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    I find the best way is to export as a self-contained movie to a codec such as ProRes (do not use things like HDV) then bring that into Compressor. In Compressor make it a SD m2v as suggested. Though frame controls add time, it is not too painful when using Better (not Best) settings, especially for resizing. The difference between Better and Best is not worth the trade off most of the time in terms of the length of time needed to encode.
    Set up virtual clusters to help with time to encode. Also make your own preset and/or make sure to tweak the Apple presets. If using the 90 Minute preset, for example, it is two pass @ 6.2. If you have an hour worth of material, for example, you can go higher. Sometimes the incremental difference may not be seen, but for an hour you can go up more to where it is noticable. YOu could even try a high CBR rate. Take a look at the links below.

  • How to deal with hum/interference - 30in Cinema display?

    Hi, I hope someone can help with this!
    I have a 30inch Cinema display, which has started to create a hum through my powered speakers (Genelec 8040's). I have tried plugging the (mains powered) speakers into a separate mains socket, moving them about, as far as is practical, and even sticking a sheet of tinfoil between the back of them , but no luck.
    The hum comes on at very low volume levels, and is persistent, i.e. if I am playing a track in iTunes, and there is a quite bit in the song, I get 'errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr' in the background.
    Now the weird thing is that I was playing a game, and for some reason there was no hum, which suggests it may be fixable via software/settings?
    I'm a bit of a newbie at this stuff (as the tinfoil experement, may suggest!), so I'd really appreciate any advice!
    TIA,
    Steve

    Thanks for the feedback. I thought it was the monitor, as the hum is only present when it is on. It may be a combination of the Mac Pro & the monitor though... Mmmmm...
    I think I may have fixed it, well improved the situation, I'll say what I did in case anybody else has the same issue, or has a better fix.
    I tried unplugging the mini jack audio out, which goes from the mac, to a mixing desk, to the powered Genelec audio monitors. When I did this the hum stopped, which I think means that the issue is a poorly shielded mini jack to phono cable, as if it was direct interference from the monitor to the speakers, it should (in theory) be present regardless of whether the audio is connected into the mac or not.
    I have moved the cable about, and the hum is reduced, so I think I have found the problem.
    Hopefully this will be of use if anybody else has the same issue!

  • Apple cinema display, IP address, Computer Name and Apache

    I have been working on getting Apache, php, mySql setup to do a bit of web design and playing with wview (weather station), drupal, wordPress, etc.  Right off the bat, let me make clear that I am not attempting to host sites to the big bad WAN.  LAN only!
    The changes to OS X over the last several versions were a definite speed bump but with the help of Neil Gee's youTube video and this forum pointing me to a permissions problem, Apache, mySql, and php are installed.  Browsing localhost, localhost/~myname and a couple of sites I set up using vhosts in ~myname/Sites from the laptop works.  Joy!    Browsing from other computers on the network nothing worked. Half a day googling the problem before I noticed something odd about the IPv4 Address for my Mac.... when I tried switching it to a static IP I got the message that the IP was already in use. 
    At this point I need to describe my setup... a MBP with Thunderbolt connection to an Apple Cinema display.  The ACD is connected via ethernet and the laptop was connected to the LAN via the Thunderbolt.  The network router is (unfortunately) an HGV-3800 whose radio is turned off.  Wireless in the household is accomplished by a Time Capsule in bridge mode.  Not my preferred setup but after killing off several good days, I capitulated to the recommended AT&T configuration.
    A quick browse of devices on the router revealed that the IP being used by my MBP/ACD had an unknown device name while all the other devices in the house had their names... odd.  So I fired up the wireless on the MBP and took another look at the device list... the router listed this new connection with my correct device name.  Even better, when I browsed to http://myComputerName and http://myComputerName/~myname from another computer on the LAN the It Works! and My Site Works! came up perfectly.  However, the sites that i set up in vhosts stubbornly refuse to come up on the other devices. 
    My interpretation of what is happening with the ethernet connection to the ACD is that this connection is not identified as being to my laptop... it is to the ACD and somehow the laptop is borrowing it... surfing works and I can connect for file sharing to other computers on the LAN (though it is a bit clunky)... the borrowed connection is not up to the task of hosting on the LAN.  My question about this is whether there is a setting I can make which will correct this behaviour and allow the Thunderbolt connection to function as if the ethernet was directly connected to the laptop?
    The other more important question is what is needed to make the sites I have in myComputer/~myName/Sites browseable from other devices on the LAN... these same sites that are coming up perfectly when I browse to mySite1.com from the laptop?
    I am not really looking for advice to go get Mavericks Server... many different issues with that scenario.

    Your router only has a limited about of features to make it "stealthy."
    Here are a few things you can try...
    - Access the router's web-based administration @ http://192.168.0.1.

  • Apple 23" Cinema Display - very odd behavior, please help.

    After being away for the weekend I powered up my G5 and was horrified to find that the monitor was not powering up. After searching through the Apple support website on another computer, I unplugged everything that was plugged into the back of the monitor, and I also unplugged the USB and firewire cables going from the monitor to the G5. And guess what? The monitor came on! When I tried powering down, plugging everything back in again, and powering up, the monitor once again would not power up.
    What gives? I didn't make any changes to any of the settings before I left for the weekend. And what's even weirder is that the LED light goes off when the monitor comes on and then comes back on when I shut everything down.
    Do I have some bad cables or something?

    Hi-
    I can suggest trying your troubleshooting one more time, only this time, attach your external connections one at a time, testing with each new connection. If one of the peripheral connections is the culprit, you should find it in this manner.
    Consider the possibility that a connection was jiggled loose in the reattachment process........Check that the power brick connection is secure.
    USB and Firewire are hot swappable, so, powering down should not be necessary to make the connections.
    The LED shutting off during display operation is normal. The LED acts as a stand by indicator, and also flashes error codes when trouble is detected within.

  • Using only an Apple Cinema Display connected to MBP (w/ the lid closed)

    Hi,
    Could someone please help me on a small but rather annoying problem?
    I have a Mac Book Pro 17" connected to an Apple Cinema Display 24". All I would like to do is to just use the Cinema Display, close the laptop lid, and for the MBP not to go into sleep mode (taking the Apple Display away with it).
    I've looked in the Display and Energy Saver settings and have trawled through the online forums but as yet have not had any luck.
    Can someone point me in the right direction?
    Many thanks, M>/.

    Apple supports using an external keyboard/mouse to wake the MBP in clamshell mode.
