Same colour profile, but different users have different colour output!

Installed Snow Leopard on a new Mac mini. Migrated two users from a Leopard install, made one fresh user.
Sticking with the default profile for my monitor (HP 2159m), the freshly-made user matches the colour at the login window. The two migrated users, despite having the same profile selected, show darker colour than this. What gives?!
Tried the guest account, and that matched the login window too. Can only assume this is a preferences issue or something, but having deleted some likely-looking plists (~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ColorSyncCalibrator.plist, ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ColorSyncUtility.plist and some .GlobalPreferences files in ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/), nothing has changed. These two users still have odd colour.
You can watch it change. The new user will stay the same from the login window while the Finder loads, but for the migrated users the colour noticeably darkens immediately after the login window disappears. I'll reiterate: System Preferences claims they've all got the same profile selected.
Any ideas?

In case anyone else finds this, I discovered the root of my problem.
The users with the odd, inconsistent colour profiles had got "Increase Contrast" turned on in Universal Access. Both only slightly, both by the same amount. Highly suspicious, as I know these different users had not changed this setting. Wonder if it's a migration problem. Anyway, colour is now consistent.

  • HT1451 Hi All, I have 2 users on my desktop, 1 i-tunes account and log-in but both users have different music contents i.e. one has the full iTunes library and the other only has some songs. How do i get both users to have the same music content?

    I Have 2 users on my computer and both access i-tunes using same password etc. however 1 library has the full content of music but the other one has only partial playlists. How do I get both users to have the same full library?

    The title of my initial post is a bit misleading. I already took a chance deleting one of the iPhones, hoping if I deleted the wrong one, I can still reauthorize it (all with the same Apple ID acct, so not subject to 90-day waiting period, right?) The iTunes database just updated itself, and it says I have 4 "devices" "in the Cloud", but 5 "computers" associated w my account. How can I find out what computers are associated? Isn't there a list I can see? I dont have a clue what computers they might be. If I use the  "Deauthorize All" option, is it a pain to add them all back in. I assume I would have to log in from each computer to reauthorize each one. Would I have to be running the newest OS or version of iTunes to reauthorize? I think I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with an older OS and iTunes. I'd like to keep that authorized, if possible.

    Create a new Apple ID for the one you want to change.

    If I share an iPhoto library between multiple users, will the Faces, Events, and Places be automatically usable by all users, or will each user have to tag all the photos (e.g. if a user tags a face, will a different user have to do it in their own iPhoto application??

  • Player Works in Administrator Profile, But Not User Profiles

    I am running Windows XP, SP 3, and Flash Player 10.0.32.18.
    Flash Player functions correctly in my administrator desktop profile, but whenever my wife or my daughter try to use a function on a Web site that uses Flash, they get a prompt to update Flash Player.  I have downloaded the update on my wife's profile over and over again (because she has administrator rights, my daughter's profile does not), but the same prompt appears when clicking on whatever Web page function she wants to use.  I had the same issue with Nero a couple of years ago, and the company that publishes that program had a program that I downloaded to enable their product to function in all user profiles.
    Is there a similar solution for Flash Player?  I have not found a reference to such a solution anywhere.
    Please advise.  Thanks.

    In order to use it with OS X it must be compatible with a Mac and its drive must be formatted to use on a Mac. Since the device is apparently not originally intended to be used on a Mac you should contact Creative and obtain instructions for doing so if in fact it's possible to do so.

  • Different customer have different sales unit!!!!!

    Dear experts,
    I have a special requirement,I don't know is it possible to do it by sap standard function, for example one material, material No:A, basic unit:pc,sale unit:box, for customer 01, 10 pc = 1 box, for customer 02, 5 pc = 1 box. I can maintain a convert factor in the material master data, but in the sales order I have to modify the convert factor for different customer. we have so many order, is it impossible to maintain different convert factor for different customer in some master data.
    Thanks
    Lance

    Dear Lakshmipathi,

  • GPOs On Different DCs Have Different Time Stamps

    Hi All,
    I believe that we may have a GPO replication problem. Different PCs in the same OU report different settings as displayed by gpresult.exe. It looks like some PCs are getting old versions of the GPO.
    I did some digging,and found a utility called gpotool.exe from the 2003 reskit.
    (Our DCs are all 2008R2 running at a 2003 functional level. Two sites, well-connected by 20 Gb links.)
    After considerable searching, I have been unable to find any explanation of the errors anywhere. In fact, the tool has little documentation anywhere. The error messages look like this:
    Policy {01BC3F84-0862-4CEA-A228-A36D6C62A612}
    gpotool: e    ERROR: Err: Size different between Machine
    Error: DC6.mydom.ca - DC8.mydom.ca sysvol mismatch
    gpotool: e    ERROR: Err: Size different between MachineI
    I tried to load the stats into a spreadsheet by creating a report using powershell to query all of the GPOs using
    get-gpo. Sadly, this utility does not retrieve any size information. What it does highlight however is that the GPOs have different modification times on different DCs.
    In most cases, the time stamps differ by less than an hour, but a very few GPOs differ by several days.
    My questions:
    Is it normal to have different modification times on different DCs?
    Is the report from gptool.exe valid, or should i ignore it?
    Many thanks in advance!
    Consume. Conform. Obey.

    This is an FRS issue. Have you looked for issues/errors regarding FRS? The GPO time stamps are a symptom of this problem. 
    1. There is a GPOTOOL.exe for 2008+ that MS never officially released. It works on my domain. I can publish it to a DropBox public folder if you are interested.
    2. Or you could stand up a Win8 box and install RSAT tools and load the GPMSC console. It has WONDERFUL tools that address this very issue. It has the GPOTool "built in" among other nice things.

  • Two different users see different web page of ssl vpn

    can i achieve this ？

    Yes, that can be done. In the "Customization" part of the ASDM you can change nearly anything what controls the look and feel of the portal page. The customizations can then be assigned to your group-policy.
    If you also want to have different login-pages, then you need to apply the customization to the connection-profile and the different user-groups need to use different URLs to access these profiles.

  • Can not cut and paste in 10.5.5 in on user profile but other users fine

    Hi, all,
    We have an 24" iMac running 10.5.5 (with all latest updates). Pretty simple machine, nothing fancy on it, just simple machine. One of the 5 users on it can not cut and paste, but other users can just fine. I can not find anything much on this. Any & all advice is most appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I very much appreciate the suggestion, I do, and please do not take this the wrong way, thank you again for taking the time to try to help me, but ..... I am not going to take a bazooka to this ant hill on this specific issue for this user.
    We're talking about hours & ours of work, maybe more, to find out why cut-n-paste (ie: Apple+C and Apple-V) do not work & that ought to be findable & correctable as a single issue with a single action.
    If it is not, then I guess that is another issue isnt it, and I'll be taking that up with the manufacturer.
    I continue to look for the "right"(tm) solution.
    +note to "discussions site webmaster": why would this form as the poster for the OS & model & details of their post again (ie: when theyre replying here, to someone else, as I am here). Do we think that those items have changed in the last hour since the first post? Not only does it ask again, youre required to answer them again since they dont "remember" the poster's first answers, since it would confuse everyone to not answer, since the defaults are incorrect (ie: the defaults arent even the latest stable software versions).+

  • My partner and I have now both got an apple mac we share the same itunes account but want to use different icloud id's so that I dont get all her documents sync to my computer... is this possible?

    my partner has an ipad and i have a mac book pro... we share the same itunes account (apple id) but believe we can have a seperate apple id for use of the icloud... we do not want each others documents to be in sync with ipad and mac book... help? thanks

    Each of you should set up your separate iCloud account on your own computer using your Apple ID. This gives you two independent iCloud accounts.
    Note that an iPad is not a multi-user device. It can only be synced with one account.

  • HT4314 I have two devices on my apple id, but we both have different gamecenter accounts. How do I get on mine?

    Help me please.

    After 2 hours worth of searching with no answer, I decided to run a test and it worked. This is what I did to have multiple Game Center IDs on iOS7. (People responding may have over looked this detail because they assumed it was obvious, but it wasn't)
    Answer: you MUST have multiple Apple ID accounts, however, you use the main one to log in to SETTINGS > ITUNES & APP STORE.
    1. I deleted the Alternate Email Address associated with my account
    2. I created an entire new Apple ID with this email address
    3. I login in to SETTINGS > ITUNES & APP STORE with my original Apple ID (credit card on file)
    4. I login to Game Center, iCloud, etc... with my kid's NEW Apple ID
    So purchasing still goes under our shared account and game center, iCloud, etc... go under my kid's Apple ID.
