Screen Calibration Issue

Hi
I have a a 15inch Powerbook and a G5 Dual 1.8 at home that i use mainly for processing photographs (some of which professionaly) and surfing the web. I have an Apple 17 inch CRT Studio Display (the last version, clear cased one) and its calibrated perfectly (well as far as I can see). The Powerbook on the other hand is far from it. I have tried many times to get both machines to even remotely match and cant succeed. I am thinking of getting a hardware calibration device but am curious how much it will help. The colours on the Powerbook are basically less saturated and sort of dull compared to the CRT. To be honest I dont ever expect to be able to match them perfectly but something better than the way it is would be great. Now the interesting bit... I have Apple Remote Desktop on the Powerbook that i use at work for XServe admin etc. When I ARD to the G5 at home and view its screen on the laptop screen the colours are exactly the same as those on the CRT...! So basically when looking at the G5's screen thats within the ARD window everything is rosey...! Does that mean that when viewing another computer over ARD that it uses the remote computers calibration...? If so this makes me assume that proper calibration could fix my problem...! Would I be correct...?
Cheers and Thanks
Richie

Download Jason's profiles. Read carefully what he's saying about (there are two of them within the zip file). It's the greatest possible colour profile on a HD 15" PowerBook. Far, far better than mine.
Great dynamic range and colour. I'm using it ever since.
Try it for a few days, and look for instance at http://www.macrumors.com/ and examine that site carefully to see how subtle colouring it has and how many different colours you're now able to distinguish!

Just got my new iPad Air and noticed that the screen calibration is off. For example if I select the circle to place something there I have to select outside of the circle to make it happen. I did not have this issue on my previous iPad.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
If no fix, Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

HP TX2000 Pen Calibration Issue(s)

I have an HP tx2000. I reinstalled windows and then I went to calibrate the pen digitizer thing (for portrait) and in the middle of calibration a window poped up. I couldn't close the window with the pen because it wasn't calibrated properly. So, I rotated the screen to the regular landscape view and closed the window. Well, no matter what I tried, I couldn't get back to the calibration. So, I shutdown the computer and tried to calibrate it again, but it wouldn't let me. Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this calibration issue? Thank you very much for your help.

There are more than 1000 entries in google under "hp pavilion tablet driver"each asking for the driver.
More than 300 visitor read your post.
No one answered at all.
Do you think is your fault, or maybe HP and Wacom are too busy to deal with this issue.
Until this issue stays under, lets say, 500 readings, you'll get no answer.
Maybe you thougth they will hurry up for you, and your error buying this equipment for your specific need, and the possibility of sell it out!
It's a shame but, in this business, products go to the market before they get success on real quality tests. We, final customers, are their quality control. And these products are OK unless anyone can speak loud enough to reveal any inconvenience.
Don't wait for any answer until another user, with enough time and knowledge to get it running, falls in the same problem.
Anyway, good luck!!
God, give me patience. But give it to me NOW!!!

TS3232 I have the mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter firmware 1.03 and I still have screen flickering issues

I have the mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter firmware 1.03 and I still have massive screen flickering issues on a Mac Mini 2012.
I am using a Dell 30" monitor (it's the Samsung screen just rebranded) connected to a WD 4TB Thunderbolt drive connected to the Mac Mini.
The screen is usable for the most part when I've just started the computer (although today I started having issues after a fresh restart) but if even just the screen goes to sleep, or the computer goes to sleep and I wake it later, I start to have massive flickering to black and occasionally to snow.
The effect seems to be more likely to arise when I'm on heavy graphics-intensive websites or programs (eg, Tumblr feed with lots of GIF images or working in Adobe Premiere), but once it starts shutting down those programs has no effect, the screen keeps flickering wildly.
The problem improved after the 1.03 firmware upgrade (for a while it was flickering uncontrollably ALL the time and was virtually unusable) but it has not gone away.
Any suggestions would be very welcome, either for how to fix this issue or how to get Apple to, you know, let me TELL THEM that their adapter firmware fix has NOT solved the issue, since my phone support has expired. :/

I have a new Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter to allow my original Apple 30" Cinema Display to connect to the new Mac Pro. Shipped straight from Apple, it is firmware version 1.03. I've never had flickering issues, but the display will often go black (possibly after a screen power save) and not come back. when this happens I am still able to connect to and use the Mac via remote connection. But the only way to get the screen back is either to unplug the adapter and plug it back in to the Mac, or to shut down and power up the Mac. This may be a separate issue, so I'll also post it standalone...

Mac Pro Screen Freezing Issue with NVIDIA 8800 GT too

There were lots of entry in threads, where the screen freezing issue was described (disorted screen with strange lines, only reboot helps). Nearly all cases seem to be related to the ATI 2600 card.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1358062&tstart=30
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1365277&tstart=0
I opened this new thread to show, that this problems occurs not only for the ATI card but for the NVIDIA 8800 card, too.
My MacPro was delivered 8 days ago and was running without any problems. But all of a sudden, I got that screen freeze. And it wasn't the first time, I was heavely working 2-3 hours with that computer.
In total, 2 screen freezes showed on my computer. The first one during working with the computer. The second one during booting into MacOS X. The screen freeze occured during the boot phase with the grey screen and the spinning wheel.
My configuration:
MacPro 2.8, Dual Quad Core
6 GB RAM
3 harddisks, 1 standard from Apple, 2 Samsung with 750GB
MacOS 10.5.2
Formac 20" Monitor
Perhaps others have this problem, too? Than we should emphasize, that this is not an ATI related problem.

I've actually been having the freezing issue for a while now but I didn't have the know-how to troubleshoot it (PC tech trying to support the only Mac lab in the building).
MacPro will freeze randomly (no trend in time, system strain, or open programs). The mouse will operate but will not interact with anything.
Specs:
MacPro - Model 1,1
Dual Core Xeon 2.66
2gb RAM
nVidia GeForce 7300 GT
Mac OS 10.4.11
The machine always has 2 displays connected to it so the workaround that was discussed for the ATI 2600 doesn't apply. I had 1 display connected here in my shop and it froze for that as well.

Touch screen calibration utility

I've working on a "proof of concept" project that requires the installation of Windows 7 Pro on a Panasonic CF-30CWQAZBM. The O/S installs fine and everything seems to work so far EXCEPT that there is no touch screen calibration utility -
and I need that utility.
The touch screen works - I just can't calibrate it. Does anyone know where I can find an appropriate touchscreen calibration utility? It's a Fujitsu touch screen and I've checked at the Fujitsu site, but they don't seem to have a calibration utility available
for download. Panasonic doesn't support Win7 on the "MK1" version of the CF-30, so there's no help there.
Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.

The drivers and utility software would be from the manufacturer of the touchscreen and written specifically for that touchscreen.
If Panasonic has a Vista package for your laptop you can try that, but there is nothing generic in Windows that would solve your problem.

Screen Tearing Issues

As of today, my Mac Mini has experienced severe screen tearing issues, it generally happens on Chrome but has started to also happen on other applications such as Pages. My Mac Mini is virtually brand new and has been used for about 2 weeks. I am using an TV via an HDMI cable. It is the 2.3ghz model with 4gb RAM. The OS is Mavericks. I have tried restarting but that didn't help. Plus the Mac is now hot with very little apps open (Minecraft, Chrome (1tab)) and the fan is loud.

Doesn't sound good... You have 90 days free phone support and a one year warranty on your Mac Mini.
I would Contact Apple Support or the Apple Store where you made the purchased and have it checked out.
Additionally you might wat to get AppleCare, which extends the phone support and warranty to three full years.

Screen redraw issues

Hi everyone
My new Macbook appears to have screen redraw issues (as I've mentioned in other posts). It often does not redraw the screen quickly or smoothly. It may redraw the screen in bands from the top, or the Dock may come up in jerks. Also, the cursor often freezes, especially when switching from one app. to another, or after performing a function in an app (e.g. Save, or Delete in Finder). Messing around with the keyboard or trying another function often unfreezes the cursor again. It's frustrating.
I think it's probably a compatibility issue, since quite a few of the applications I transferred over from my iBook are not yet available as fat binaries ("universal" binaries). Yet they seem to work OK. I'll post about that separately.
If anyone else has experienced screen redraw issues, I'd be interested to hear about them. This machine should run much faster than my iBook, not much more slowly.

Thanks again, Shawn. I wasn't sure whether to post all the problems as one mess, or separately so people could search for them separately. I decided on separately, in case they weren't related, but mentioned the other bits in each post in case they were.
I myself searched under all these problems, but had little success. I don't know if that's an artefact of the Search or not. I suppose it depends on things like using "frozen cursor" or "freezing cursor". I certainly found more posts related to my problems when I read all the forum posts for MacBook Users. It took quite a while, but was more productive than searching. I'd rather not have to spend quite as much time on finding data, though.
Thanks again.

Windows 2008 R2 Screen Lock Issue (GPO)

Scenario: We will be deploying POS machines at our stores that will have Windows 2008 R2 as the preferred OS. The function of this POS machine is for POS administration and not for ringing up sales. The machines have been configured to autologin a specific
user via GPO for POS functions. Also, a specific POS desktop environment shell has been configured to launch instead of Explorer (explorer.exe) shell environment at autologon.
Everything seems to be working as expected except for the session of the user locking. Since the POS environment needs to be up at all times with the specific user profile, we do not want the OS to lock the user session. I've timed it and it seems to lock
the screen (not log off) at approximately 15 minutes of inactivity, we do not want this.
So far, these are the GPOs I have configured that have not fixed the issue:
Computer Configuration>Policies>Windows Settings>Security Settings>Local Policies>Security Options>Microsoft Network Server: Amount of idle time required before suspending session = 99999 minutes
Computer Configuration>Policies>Administrative Templates>System>Power Management>Sleep Settings>Allow applications to prevent automatic sleep (plugged in) = Enabled
Computer Configuration>Policies>Administrative Templates>System>Power Management>Sleep Settings>Require a password when a computer wakes (plugged in) = Disabled
Computer Configuration>Policies>Administrative Templates>System>Power Management>Sleep Settings>Turn off hybrid sleep (plugged in) = Enabled
Computer Configuration>Policies>Administrative Templates>System>Power Management>Sleep Settings>Turn on the ability for applications to prevent sleep transitions (plugged in) = Enabled
Computer Configuration>Policies>Administrative Templates>System>Power Management>Video and Display Settings>Turn off the display (plugged in) = Enabled = 99999 seconds
User Configuration>Policies>Administrative Templates>Control Panel>Personalization>Enable screen saver = Disabled
User Configuration>Policies>Administrative Templates>Control Panel>Personalization>Password protect the screen saver = Disabled
User Configuration>Policies>Administrative Templates>System>Ctrl+Alt+Del Options>Remove Lock Computer = Enabled
User Configuration>Preferences>Windows Settings>Registry>HKCU>Control Panel>Desktop>ScreenSaveActive = 0
What are we doing wrong? How do I configure the OS to not lock the user session but keep it active at all times?
As a side note: We have Windows 7 POS machines also that will be ringing up sales that we do not have the screen lock issue.

Hi,
>>Please see my setting indicated in my original post. We have Turn Off the Display set to 99999 seconds.
I understand that we have set the Turn Off the Display for this amount of time. However, just for double check, we can go to the power plan we are using to check if the setting has been applied successfully. If the setting has been applied successfully,
it should be grayed out. Or, we can run command gpresult/h gpreport.html
with admin privileges to collect group policy result report to check this.
Besides, do we use other third party software to protect our computer? We can try to clean boot the server to see if the situation persists.
Regarding how to perform a clean boot, the following article can be referred to for more information.

Firefox version 22 screen tearing issue with video

So I've updated to Firefox 22 and have recently started noticing this really annoying screen tearing issue when scrolling. its only when i use Firefox sometimes it happens when I'm watching videos sometimes it just happens on normal every day pages. I've tried to duplicate this issue in other browsers (Chrome) and it just only seems to happen with Firefox. anyone else experienced this and knows how to stop it? kinda annoying

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

IDCS2 Screen Redraw issues

We're having screen redraw issues when panning and zooming pages. Getting screen anomolies and jittery display performance. It only happens when using InDesign, no other apps exhibit similar issues.
PC specs are:
WinXP Prop SP2
Dell Optiplex GX620, 2GB RAM
ATI Radeon X600, 256MB Video Card
Dual Dell 19" Flat Displays
Tried setting Display Performance slider in Prefs to middle setting and still getting redraw problems.
Is there a setting for the video card that might help?
Thanks,
-Danny

InDesign is known to have display issues with scrolling (white bars appearing where the edge of the screen used to be), although I don't believe I've ever seen it panning. As far as I know there is nothing you can do but grumble.
Not a lot of help, I'm afraid.

Screen refresh issue with SQL Developer 1.5.5 on Vista 64 bit

I am using the latest version of SQL Developer.
I have screen refresh issues in sql developer. On scrolling up and down the display gets jumbled, some time screen do not display at all. Its making working with SQL Developer very difficult. I don't have such an issue with any of my other editors.
Is this something specific to Vista? Is there any know solution to this issue.
Thanks
Edited by: user5899685 on Sep 1, 2009 11:14 AM

Specific? Not really, but judging from the posts here Vista is more prone. It usually indicates incompatibility between Java and video drivers.
If updating your JDK or video driver doesn't work or isn't an option, just disabling DirectDraw in \sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf usually works too:
AddVMOption -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=trueHope that helps,

Screen Calibration for a PC

Is there a tool similar to the screen calibration program included in OSX for a PC.
This works well enough for my needs and I want to avoid buying a high end solution for my PC.

basically..i am try to connect to my mac from a pc..i have punched all the firewall holes in my Airport N router and it should be good there..
when you connect from a PC, it asks for the password, you enter it and the screen flickers and vnc connection drops

Screen redraw issues after update to 10.7.4

Anyone else seeing screen redraw issues since updating to 10.7.4? Suddenly, the zoom tool stops working or causes visual errors.

thank you FFS48, it really helped and might work fine as temporary solution. I was about to restore my OS from backup to 10.7.3 version... as booting from it made no errors. The latest 10.7.4 update filled my log filles with different error messages like:
2012-05-10 23:53:17,000 kernel: SMC::smcReadKeyAction ERROR PC2C kSMCBadArgumentError(0x89) fKeyHashTable=0x0xffffff8030d4f000
2012-05-10 23:53:17,000 kernel: SMC::smcReadKeyAction ERROR PD0R kSMCBadArgumentError(0x89) fKeyHashTable=0x0xffffff8030d4f000
2012-05-10 23:53:17,000 kernel: SMC::smcReadKeyAction ERROR PN1R kSMCBadArgumentError(0x89) fKeyHashTable=0x0xffffff8030d4f000
2012-05-10 23:53:17,000 kernel: SMC::smcReadKeyAction ERROR PG0C kSMCBadArgumentError(0x89) fKeyHashTable=0x0xffffff8030d4f000
which might be caused by iStatMenus as these log entries are allways next to iStat log entries.
I often need to access my Mac Pro using Back to my Mac from my MBP. Do you know will it still be possible having WiFi on MacPro off?
It is strange, that the latest update delivered more visible problems than benefits....
What I tried to solve the problem and that did not work:
- Disable WiFi sync on iTunes (after reading some forums discussing similar problem)
- Uninstalled Xcode (as some forums suggested)
It is some how related to WiFi and iOS devices that sync to that computer. Switching these iOS devices off - removes the problem, and I believe it should be reported to Apple.
Is there any URL to Apple bug submit form?
