Screen Calibration with Huey Pro

Hey all,
I've used Huey Pro software (from work) in the past to calibrate my laptop screen. It had been several months since I had updated it, so I borrowed the calibrater again and I've been trying to get it to work.
I cannot for the life of me calibrate the screen. It's really blown out, much too light. After the sensor measures the room light, it goes to the screen that asks you if you can see all of the rings of contrast on the sample graphics, and mine are always far too light, blown out. When you go to the next step, it asks you to adjust the contrast control. The only means to do this I've found so far is the Universal Access panel, and it only makes it brighter. I currently have it at the lowest contrast.
Is there someplace else I can adjust contrast? Is there someone that's familiar with this calibrater? Does this mean that my screen is going out? Please let me know if you can help.
Thanks, Dani

Hi, Dani. Why not ask the people who make and support the Huey Pro?

Hi ..
Shift key boots into Safe Mode, not Recovery.
This only works on a Mac running v10.7 Lion or later.
Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to repair the startup disk and restore OS X using OS X Recovery
If you can't boot into Recovery Mode, help here > Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup

Color cast with Huey Pro

I am using a Huey Pro to calibrate my monitors for use with Aperture. After calibration both my MacBook Pro and iMac have a very red color cast.
Thanks,
Ken

have you tried reporting this on the pantone support site - if you do a search there, you'll find a couple of problems mentioning the same thing your seeing.
I have the same problem and it could be a broken calibrator.

MACBOOK PRO - 15" 08 SCREEN CALIBRATION WITH SPYDER 3 ELLITE

Hi
I bought a Macbook Pro prior to the new released model. As a graphic designer i am doing my nutt trying to calibrate the screen to an acceptable level. The lowest % of black visable on screen is 30% which is useless abnd highest is 70%.
The internal calibration tool is useless.. so i hoped purchasing a Spyder 3 Ellite would solve my problems...the results are still poor I have tried adjusting the backlight to factory settings which i believe is 50% brightness. Also changing the gamma and white point...still i am at a loss... has anyone got some experience with using the Spyder 3 Ellite and the MBP '08 model??? please help.

I tried calibrating the new 15" macbook pro with the spyder3 using variety of settings; I can get decent neutrals but the colors always seem a bit off to me, especially deep blues which seem to shift towards purple. I use it with a 30" ACD and I could get my previous alu macbook pro to match the 30" pretty closely, but the new macbook pro screen is harder to calibrate it seems.
The Spyder 3 might have issues with the new glossy screens.
Some people had posted icc profiles here before, maybe try one of those?

Screen Issues with MacBook Pro (Static Lines)

Hey guys. I aam having problems with my Screen/Display on my Macbook Pro.
Static lines appear aprox 1/3 of the way in from the right side. The lines run horizontally about 1 inch in length and running vertically all the way down the display. A screen shot shows a normal working display. Took a pic of the problem:
I cannot run hardware tools. My computer did not come with a disc and I know they are only a shipping charge but I do not have even $5. I am a student and this is my only way to do my schoolwork. The Screen (inner display and outer protective screen) was replaced by Apple in May '12. The 1 yr warranty ran out in June '12. When the screen was replaced it started doing this as well, but had not gotten this bad. There are now 2 where there was only one yesterday. I am wondering if it may be the cable as moving the display often fixes or produces the problem. I know the cable is not very expensive and not to difficult to replace.
Here is the info on my Mac:
Nice Name:
Machine Model: MacBookPro9,1
Name: MacBook Pro (mid 2012) 15 inch
Family name: A1286
Model Number: MD103
Group1: MacBook
Group2: Pro

CPU speed: 2.3GHz
Screen size: 15.4 inch
Screen resolution: 1440x900 pixels
Colour: Aluminium
Production year: 2012
Production week: 13 (April)

Memory - flavour: DDR3-S-1600
Memory - number of slots: 2
Memory - maximum total: 16GB
Memory - largest module: 8GB
Factory: C0 (Quanta Computer (Susidiary = Tech Com))

It is getting worse in the sense that it is occuring more often and taking longer to resolve. Moving the laptop lid/display would typically fix the prblem in the past but now it is hit or miss. Even vibrations will cause the issue to occur or resolve. We are leaning more towards the issue being a cable and not the display. Since taking a screenshot produces a pic without issues I would gather that the video card is fuctioning properly. I welcome any comments on this.

White screen issue with DVC Pro HD

I have a G5, have Final Cut HD and have upgraded to QT 7 Pro. I am trying to open an HD file I shot last year, which was edited on another system. When I try to open the clip, it is a white screen with audio. The movie info is as follows.
DVCPRO HD (720p60), 1280 x 720, Millions
16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
Any ideas on why it is not playing? Thanks!
John M

ok... i just got this on mine. yesterday i was just getting ready to log subclips from fcp5, and when i opened the project file, i noticed that all my subclips i created and orignal clip where all red / out. so i closed fcp5 and went to the location of the file. i double clicked it, and behold, white screen, audio only.. so i had to completely redo the convertion of the orginal file.
next day
I was looking for a subclip that i had already extracted from the main file, and when i double clicked it showed the video. after that closed the window, and someone asked me to reopen the quicktime file again, i double clicked it, and all of a sudden the video was white, and only audio.
ive spent about 4 to 5 hours researching with someone else on this issue and have yet to find anything such as a fix, or work around, but my video keeps disappearing which is disturbing. from what we have come down to the issue is deals within quicktime are below...
we believe that quicktime is somehow changing the codecs DVC PRO and changing it to "Integer (Big Endian), Timecode, Video.." that is what it says.. and comepletely removing the codec for the video, and deleting the video footage, but keeping the audio in place perfectly. now, we also used metadatahootenanny to inspect a copy of the file and low and behold severe corrupt of the meta data in the quicktime file. the issue be with quicktime interaction with storage, or a bug quicktime behalf. we need to find a solution to this issue. we are currently in contact with apple tech support and hopefully we will be posting a answer soon.

TS4044 HOW DO I GET A SCREEN SHOT, WITH MACBOOK PRO

can you tell me how i get a screenshot with mac book pro?

Press the Shift, Command, and 3 keys to capture the whole screen.
Press the Shift, Command, and 4 keys to capture a draggable part of the screen, or follow it with the spacebar to capture a window.
Open the PNG on the desktop. Alternatively, combine either of the above with the Control key to put the screenshot onto the clipboard instead of the desktop.

Screen freezes with LOGIC pro 7 & OSX 3.0.any ideas?

Hi
I have a G5 with dual processors and 1.5 ram/150gb HD. I am running Logic pro 7 on the original OSX 3.0 with a Motu 828mk2 firewire interface.
The screen freezes a lot (sometimes with audio still running) and the only way is to turn it off and reboot.
I am not working with lots of audio or plug ins (maybe one or two tracks at most).
I wondered whether its the OS? maybe i need Tiger?
I would be grateful of any help

As JustinC pointed out, it would be better you were running a more 'mature' OS (also CoreAudio is part of Quicktime so if you have updated QT and not the OS you could, possibly, be running an incompatible version of CoreAudio, i'm not too sure about that.)
But considering the symptoms you mentioned, and the fact you are running very few audio tracks, I'm assuming you run a lot of MIDI.
The symptoms you describe sound a lot like a MIDI feedback loop.
You don't have any sort of inter-app MIDI routing enabled, do you ?
If you do, you need to isolate the inter-app inputs from the sequencer input, or be very careful not to select tracks which are assigned to an inter-app port (or 'all' ports)
Oh, and update the OS anyway, there is no good reason to stick with 10.3.0

External screen problems with macbook pro

Hi Guys,
I have recently connected my macbook pro to an external screen via HDMI and am having a weird issue. When the MB is open, it perfectly displays on the external screen. But when I shut the MB, it displays the picture on the external screen for about 5 seconds, then turns off, then turns on again and continues this until I open the MB again.
WHat is going on? Am i missing something?
thanks guys in advance

Something that's running on your machine (or something that's connected to it) is preventing it from sleeping when you close its built-in display. It should sleep and stay asleep as soon as that display is closed, unless you are running it in clamshell mode:

Does the computer sleep properly when you close its display if the external monitor is not connected to it? Does the monitor have a USB cable that connects to the computer, in addition to its video cable?

Poor external screen resolution with macbook pro retina

Hi guys, pretty frustrated but i hop you can help
i have a mid 2013 macbook pro retina 15inch. i've downgraded in screen size from my imac 24inch. i purchased a 32inch lg smart tv to use as an external monitor but the resolution is horrific. i thought i could get myself a lot of screen retail space but it only seems to run in 1080p and everything is far to large and blurry. i'm connecting using HDMI. i've tried different colour profiles, i have tried using this script in terminal that i found to turn on font smoothing for all monitors but it doesn't work
defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 3
any one know what i can do? i'm truly gutted atm

Screen problem with MacBook Pro 15 inch, mid 2011

I did not turn off my computer last night before going to sleep. This morning, when I "woke" it up, the screen turned to negative colours. I restarted my computer, and since then the screen has stayed pitch black. The computer seems to turn on fine, I can hear the hard drive running.
I did some research online: I already tried to reset the SMC and Pram and nothing worked. I am thinking of setting up a monitor to find out if it is a screen or a GPU problem. Any suggestion, advice, tip?

You are on the right track. If the monitor display is black, then the GPU is the problem. If the monitor display is normal, then the MBP display is faulty.
You did try the F2 key (brightness)?
Ciao

For all those with "BLANK SCREEN ISSUES" with MacBook Pro's....

...I suggest you direct all the issues you're having to Apple through the feedback form here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbookpro.html
I for one have rang tech support twice now, had a go and the only response I got back was to go to that link, fill the form in and wait for response.
State the problems you're having and post this link as reference:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1478474
Hopefully then Apple with acknowledge each of us.
(PS. Apple people...DO NOT delete this post for being "off topic" because it most definately IS ON TOPIC!. Im trying to save people from calling tech support at their expense only to be told to fill in the feedback form.)

Who are you directing that to?
To you if I'm not mistaken...you upgraded to 9.0-1 via pacman,
but the fix was in 9.01 not 9.0-1.
If you read my post, I was responding to Vex who said 9.0[-1] fixed his issue. Knowing that 9.0[-1] != 9. 01 (and that the fix was in 9.01) , I told him it was weird that 9.0-1 fixed his problem (which is more polite than saying, "Bullsh*t!"), and I confirmed the weirdness by pointing out that the 9.0-1 upgrade I had performed earlier that morning did nothing for me (nor did I expect it to because the fix was in 9.01). Finally, I confirmed that building and installing 9.01 did the trick (as it was supposed to).
I don't really think anybody was confused about 9.0-1 != 9.01. That's why I asked who Stonecrest was talking to. No big deal.

Puzzled about what *taste* has to do with screen calibration.

I want to calibrate my screen so that when I edit pictures they will have the best chance at looking the same to others on other screens as they do to me, and will look as closely as possible on screen as they might on paper if I choose to print them.
In that case, I don't understand why discussions about calibration involve steps where something is adjusted to taste. In particular, if I calibrate with the Huey pro, at the end of the exercise, it asks me to choose the gamma and color temperature to suit my preference. But if I change the gamma, the picture changes in appearance, without changing any actual values in the picture settings. Doesn't this mean that I'm changing the appearance *to me* without affecting its appearance for anyone else. Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of calibration. Please enlighten me.

The resultant for anything visual is the human eye which varies from person to person so preference and taste become factors.
