Safari shows colors different than other browsers and GoLive

Does anyone know why Safari shows colors differently than Firefox, Explorer and Opera, Mozilla and Golive?
For example if I use "websafe" colors in photoshop with 2.2 gamma and sRGBie...2.1 and save, then import into Go Live with the working space the same, North America Web/ Internet, the colors are typically darker, although occasionally they are the same.
I have tried embedded profiles and non embeded.
The difference only happens when I view the page in Safari. By the way I use a mac, GoLive CS2
This is a constant frustration. I have created several tests but have found no satisfactory results. I am in the process of creating a website for teachers who use powerbooks and safari. And this color change really restricts creative possibilities. If the same page is viewed in Firefox it looks like it does in GoLive.
Thanks for any help,
Kevin

>> When no profile is in use.. Safari will assume sRGB becaus this is the web standart profile...
True on Windows Safari and other Windows browsers.
Safari on Mac and other Mac browsers 'assumes, assigns, applies' the Mac's default monitor profile to untagged color.
This is easy to proof here in the sRGB rollover:
http://www.gballard.net/psd/go_live_page_profile/embeddedJPEGprofiles.html
If Mac Safari 'assumed' sRGB on untagged files, then the sRGB rollover will have zero change.
+++++
>> converting to sRGB before saving for the web ensure god color in all browseres, and JPG and PNG can be savde with color profile
Except in Mac browsers that have 1.8 monitor gamma profiled.
The Mac-specific problem with trying to match tagged graphics on matched-color background in Safari is:
1) The color background is untagged and will Assume default Monior RGB.
2) The tagged graphic will be Converted to Monitor RGB.
In other words, if you fill a page with 4bb93c and place a tagged sRGB image, filled with 4bb93c, the two colors won't match up in color-managed Mac web browsers like Mac Safari...however, if you untag the sRGB file, it will disappear on the page, but it will be off color depending how close Monitor RGB is to sRGB profile in Mac browsers.
Windows, on the other hand is a different beast, it Assigns sRGB to untagged color, so tagged/untagged sRGB will be good in all Windows browsers.
At least that is what I have seen here on my Windows Vista Business box.

A div in a site am developing is not showing in firefox but shows on all the other browsers (chrome, safari, opera and explorer), can anyone help?

i am developing a site and i used divs in making the arrangements.
all other divs on the page shows but on particular one does not show.
i gave all the divs a border with a red color, all the other browsers(explorer, opera, chrome and safari ) shows the divs with the colors but firefox does not even show the red color

Can you post a test case demonstrating the problem? It doesn't need to contain confidential content or active links. (This forum doesn't handle raw HTML very well, so I don't recommend pasting code here unless you convert your angle brackets to HTML entities.)

Safari not loading images but other browsers are.

As the title denotes, I'm having this issue with safari that some images are not loading and I only get a blue question mark square. I have seen other forums with this question but it seems that my scenario is a little different, because other browsers like firefox can display images with no problem. Also for example, when I do a google image search only several images get to load while others don't. If I click refresh they finally get loaded but sincerely they take a lot more time to load than on firefox (sometimes refreshing doesn't work either) It might not be such a problem in an image search but on pages like facebook it is quite a hassle.
I don't know what might be causing it, (I don't believe its got to do with my internet connection since firefox has no problems whatsoever.) At first I thought that maybe an update might do the trick so I installed Safari 4 Beta which gave me only a slight better loading of the images.
Now to help see my case I've got some points to say in advance:
1) I don't think it is webpage specific but I frequently see it in google image search and facebook
2) I am using mac OS X 10.5.6
3) Every time an image doesn't load, the activity window says "can't find host"
4) As said above, I'm using Safari 4 Beta. But still I had this problem with the previous Safari

Hello,
We also have a problem with Safari only partially loading pages, or not loading them at all (a blank page is displayed). It happens intermittently, and affects some websites more than others.
It's definitely not an Internet issue as all other browsers (FF 3.5.1, latest Opera, Navigator, IE 6, 7 and 8 via Parallels Desktop) can display the pages normally.
I don't think it is related, but most of the websites that are affected are hosted at MediaTemple:
http://www.bedsupperclub.com
http://www.soundphuket.com
http://www.silqbkk.com
http://www.bedmgmt.com/
Reloading the page doesn't help (we tried reloading a gazillion times).
The issue affects all computers in our office (iMacs, MBP, MB).
We are using the latest version of Safari (4.0.2), it's an issue that we also experienced with 4.0 and the Beta.
We are gradually shifting to Firefox as this issue is really frustrating.

Lightroom displays colors differently than Photoshop

Lightroom (and my image previewer - IfranView) display my image colors differently than photoshop. This is very disturbing (why can't Adobe make this simple!)!
Image in question - see below. Center image is Photoshop, left is Lr 4 and right is InfranView.
Colorspace: AdobeRGB 1998
Image color (exported the TIFF file in Lr, what is shown below): AdobeRGB 1998
NOTE: when I export out as sRGB, IfranView displays it correctly (I don't know why, it can't display ProPhoto correctly, but never had a problem with AdobeRGB). Lightroom looks incorrect when viewing the TIFF, AdobeRGB JPEG and sRGB JPEG.
What is going on?? I've tried this on two computers now and it is the same problem!

The larger file is Adobe RGB and the smaller file is sRGB. I see no difference in overall tone or color between the two files in LR 3, LR 4, LR 5, PS CS5, PS CS6, PS CC 2014, or Windows Photo Viewer which is color-managed, aside from an almost imperceptible change in the darkest blacks which I'd expect since you're converting AdobeRGB to sRGB at some point.
I can make the Adobe RGB one look like it does at the left of your first screenshot if I Assign Profile: sRGB to it in PS.
Since your monitor appears to be wide-gamut and therefore similar to Adobe RGB, I think the problem you're having is that LR thinks the monitor is sRGB for some reason, perhaps due to your switching the cables from one computer to the other without rebooting and recalibrating. It's also possible that your profile is stored in the monitor rather than in the computer and one computer understands this and the other doesn't so you're getting double-profiling or no profiling occurring.
It sounds the your only issue is having two computers attached alternatively to one monitor without having a valid profile on each computer for that monitor and aren't restarting each computer to load that profile. At least that is my analysis given the limited information.
I would conclude that nothing is wrong with LR or PS just the hardware connections and the color management confusion between the two computers, not your confusion, the computers'.

I can not print from Firefox, but can from all other browsers and applications (such as MS Word, notepad, etc.). I get a print error on the printing monitor like it's a spooling problem.

This is a recent development but I can not print anything from within Firefox. The print functions open normally, it is going to the correct printer which works..I can print from other browsers and applications. It acts like it is spooling and then a print error occurs and it won't print. I closed and reopened Firefox, opened it in safe mode, cleaned out history/cache/cookies, and rebooted twice. Nothing makes any difference. Also tried printing from the print preview which had the same result. I can print from all other browsers and applications without a problem so it must be within Firefox.

I am running Firefox RC.

figured it out:
- power off mac and turn back on while holding down Command + R (dont do it on an external keyboard just to be safe)
- choose the re-install Lion option (I'm sure there is another way to re-install Lion, this is just the way I did it, not saying its the best or only method)
- DO NOT INSTALL MACBOOK (Mid 2012) Software Update 1.0 - THIS SCREWS ADOBE UP!

After installing Snow Leopard on MacPro with 23" HD monitor I have noticed an anomaly when scrolling up or down, a horizontal ripple appears briefly, I have tested other browsers and there is no problem, only in FF 8. What is causing this?

Hi applecore_eater,
When Leopard came out, machines were shipping with Tiger for 3-5 months after it's release. So the fact that you bought a machine with Leopard still installed is not uncommon, especially considering we're not even a month into release. Matter of fact, I'd be surprised to see a lot of machines (unless CTO) that are coming with Snow Leopard.
The battery issue is not specific to Snow Leopard or the MacBook Air. I've deployed SL to about 15-20 MacBook Airs and all of them have been perfectly fine (batteries).

In iCloud Backup and Storage it shows a different name other than my own. How do I delete that name and change it to my name

I have an iPhone 4. My other half has one too. They were purchased and activated on the same day by her at the verison store. She does not have an iCloud account but I do. When I go to iCooud settings in my phone and then click on Backup and Storage it shows her as being the owner and I want to change that. Someone told me it was easy in phone settings without having to connect to iTunes. I have looked around in settings but don't know how to do it. Can someone tell me how to do that plz?

I have laready set up my iCloud account and verified it.
So the problem is this:
I go to settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup. There it says that MY phone belongs to my wife. I had been told that it is easy to change that specific thing to show that it is my iPhone. That is where I am having the issue.
With that being said, I try to do a backup to iCloud and it doesn't go through due to that.

Log and Transfer Color Different Than Viewer/Canvas Color. Why?

I've noticed that the preview window in Log and Transfer has different color characteristics than both the Viewer and Canvas window. Sometime I like the color in Log and Trasnfer better and sometime I like the other color better. What is going on here? Am I viewing a RAW-like version in the Log and Transfer window and if so how can I get that color to transfer into my project upon import? I'm shooting with a HVX200 and Firestore.

The image quality of the footage you see in Log and Capture and Log and Transfer is a very low res proxie...lower than that of the Canvas.
The truth is, you shouldn't trust ANY of the windows to give you a true representation of the color. Not the L&C window, not the Viewer, and not the Canvas. Only a properly calibrated monitor will...although a good TV will do a decent job as well.
The color won't transfer because it isn't different.

TS4050 iCloud on Safari will not open Reminders -- I've tried using other browsers, and all other iCloud apps are fine. Any ideas?

-- I've tried using other browsers, but no luck
All other iCloud apps are fine via Safari (mail, calendar, etc.). Any ideas?
I've tried clearing cache, logging in and out, switching off iMac.
I'm using latest OS X and Safari versions.
The problem seems to have crept to my iOS devices, which now register non-sync'd versions of my reminders lists, and which will not update via iClou

Gawd, how have you managed not to update it?! The current version is Version 3.1.2 (4525.22)!
Small wonder it won't work with 10.4.11.
Have you ever used Software Updater to check whether there are any updates available for your Mac?
I would recommend that you download the latest version from here:
http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
But please make sure that you download the version for Tiger and not for Leopard.
BUT before you do so, and before you install it, please go through the following routine:
Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two.
Background information here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
and here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

If all is OK, install the new Safari, and REBOOT, then repair permissions again.

Hotmail shows inbox but cannot open emails shown but can send email, it works on other browsers and I did the latest update on firefox

Firefox brings up my Hotmail web page and shows emails but I cannot open them or delete them. I can send emails however. Other browsers like Opera and Chrome work the Hotmail fine. I have downloaded the latest Firefox update as late as today!
This is a new problem and it worked fine for years. I have Windows 7 operating system on my desktop.

This problem has been ongoing for months for some users.
I managed to fix my issue by completely uninstalling FF and then reinstalling the newest version which is 6.0-something.
I was previously running on 3.0 and my automatic updates had not told me there was a newer version.
I don't know if that will fix everybody's problem though. I assume a lot of people were already running on FF 6 when they had their problems.

Colors Different than Cinema Display

I was trying out different desktops, and I noticed that my Cinema Display shows colors significantly brighter than my MacBook Pro (I'm in dual display mode). There seems to be hardly any contrast on the Macbook Pro compared to the Cinema Display... How do I fix this? --To elaborate, I notice the cinema display (20" by the way) shows colors more vibrantly than the MacBook Pro. The MBP looks like it has a gray cast over it (I can especially tell with the Apple desktop picture of the green curled leaf).
AHH!!! Just while writing this (actually when I turned Front Row on for a second), a dead pixel popped up on the screen!!! Can I fix this? Will Apple exchange it? It's been less than 14 days since I bought it...
Thanks.

You would need tools like the ColorVision Spyder 2 or something similar. It requires both hardware (spyder that measures color and brightness of screen) and software. The first step would be to calibrate and profile the MBP and use it's black and white point settings for the ACD reference. Final step would then be to calibrate and profile the ACD using the MBP's black point and white point. The colors, brightness and contrast would be very close, if not visually identical.

Monitors and displays can not be visually calibrated accurately. Only a hardware and software solution is accurate for print etc.

Itunes shows library different than on Touch

What's showing as on my IPod Touch 5th gen. is different than what's actually on the device and available for me to play.
I know, you won't believe me, but ITunes shows a whole different list of songs than what I see when I browse the device. It's like 2290 items according to iTunes, (good!), compared with 127 songs I can see on the device (bad!). Coincidentally, those 100 or so are all ones I've purchased from Apple.
The truth is that I've had persistent, massive problems with this thing over its life, which I've occasionally railed about here. Long story.
Question is, how do I get these two in sync again? - with all the tracks I've put on it, painstakingly, over hours and days. I suppose this could easily be for the ITouch forum, but I'm arbitrarily posting here because it occurs after hooking the device up to iTunes.
Thanks for any info.

In an ideal world all of your media content is on your system drive, listed in iTunes and organized in a portable layout. You then have a complete clone of the iTunes folder as a backup. If your system drive is too small to hold everything then putting the entire library on an external drive with a backup on a second drive also works. If you want access to some content on the laptop when travelling without having to take the external then it is possible to split the library up and store some content locally and not others, but that requires more effort to get right.
I'm still not clear what has gone wrong on your system, but some third party tools (e.g. Sony VIAO media manager and some antivirus packages) can interfere with the way the iTunes updates its database files leading to the concessional corruption. iTunes also expects all media content to stay in the same place so any manual manipulation of the media folders can lead to trouble.

Chat is not available for Gmail for Firefox 14.0.1. Other browsers and lower version of Firefox works.

I have installed the Firefox 14.0.1 version. Since then the Chat for Gmail is not popping up. I checked with other internet browsers and the chat works perfectly on Gmail.
Is there any special plug in needed for this version?
Is this a bug in the new Firefox version?
