Thunderbolt display and macbook pro calibration

I have a macbook pro mid 2011 and a thunderbolt display and they both have been calibrated by a Spyder device, I sometimes grade images on my laptop but when I get back to the office the shots look different, any ideas?t

I've a Spyder4Elite that I use on both my Thunderbolt Display and on my MBP - and, while both are calibrated, they don't - and cannot - 'match' one another, no matter how hard I try.
I suspect that you're running up against the same wall? Different technologies in different displays. I doubt that you'll ever get a perfect match: mine are just 'good enough'.

  • Sound Switches Between Thunderbolt Display and MacBook Pro

    I have an Apple Thunderbolt display and MacBook Pro set-up with dual screens. I have an iPhone plugged into a dock that runs to the display. When I have music playing out of the display and I disconnect my iPhone, it switches the sound to the MacBook Pro.
    1. How do I stop this from happening?
    2. If I can't stop it from happening, how do I move the sound from the MacBook Pro back to the display?
    There doesn't seem to be any options within Preferences/Sound to change it back.
    Thank you.

  • Apple Aluminum Keyboard and 23" cinema Display and MacBook Pro??

    Hello there
    I have just purchased an Apple Aluminum Keyboard and have and MacBook Pro with and 23" cinema display, and if i try to connect the keyboard to my cinema display via USB the keyboard don't work.
    i have an Apple mighty mouse that works fine wen connected to the USB port on the display...
    why is it not working...

    have you tried a different USB port on the ACD? Maybe the one you used was defective? I run a 7-port bus off one of the USB ports for all my hardware. OTOH, I do use bluetooth mouse and keyboard!

  • Calibration issues with 23" display and Macbook Pro 13".

    Hi All,
    I'm a photographer and link my Macbook Pro to a 23" display in order to edit my work.
    I have calibrated both displays with a gretagmacbeth eye-one display 2, however, despite this, when I move images between screens they change considerably, most noticeably the values of reds. I appreciate the laptop display is never going to be as bright as the stand alone, but am I asking too much for the colours to be the same?
    I look forward to receiving any suggestions from those who've had similar experience, or those who are experts in the this field.
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi!
    Well for me theres 2 types of click,
    1. one when u click and sounds (this one is pressing harder the trackpad)
    2. another is softer when just need to put ur finger over the trackpad.
    i use more the second one, thats why i say i rarely use the first one.
    Thanks for answering
    Regards

  • Hi - How do I connect an HDTV as a second monitor to Thunderbolt display with macbook pro in clamshell mode?

    I have a Late 2011 Macbook Pro in clamshell mode connected to a Thunderbolt Display with the built in Thunderbolt cable. I want to then connect an HDTV via the Thunderbolt port at the back of the Thunderbolt display. I already had a  cable that I thought would work which turns out to be a MiniDisplay port to HDMI cable and therefore not compatible with Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt (Mini DisplayPort not being the same technology although it uses the same port - although I'm not an expert !!) So far a web search has provided me with the only solution being using a Thunderbolt dock or storage that has multiple Thunderbolt ports and then  using that to daisychain inbetween the Thunderbolt Diplay and the HDTV. The cheapest solution I can find for this would be about £250. Surely not ??!!!!
    Many thanks for any comments - Nik

    You could also use aThunderbolt dock with HDMI, such as:

  • Dual Thunderbolt displays on Macbook Pro

    I have a 15" MacBook Pro (mid-2011) with two 27" Thunderbolt displays. I very frequently boot my Macbook (laptop closed) and my two displays are out of order. I always know it's a problem because one of my wallpapers get's changed. It sometimes takes several reboots to get the monitors to order properly. I sometimes have to kill power to the monitors by turning off my power strip and then they boot up properly. I've tried swapping the cables around to move the monitors, but it still always seems to get jacked up. If I tried to reorder the monitors in the display settings my dock or primary monitor is always out of whack. The problem seems to have gotten a lot more frequenty with Mountain Lion. Any ideas?

    You can use any of the USB solutions such as the Diamond BVU195, which is available for $75 and is fine for anything other than gaming or video playback.
    It works very well for spreadsheets, word processing and productivity, you can control exactly what is on each monitor and you can hook up two and go to 4 screens!
    I'm hoping thuderbolt versions will appear that will be faster and allow us to have multiple monitors at full speed!

  • OS X Thunderbolt display on Macbook Pro

    I upgraded my Macbook Pro with OS X and now, after a period of inactivity, the display does not come back on automatically.  It works if I unplug it from the laptop and plug it back in.  Currently I am using the power supply plug from the Thunderbolt as I was doing before the upgrade.

    Do you have a MacBook Pro with a Thunderbolt port? I only ask because your profile shows that you're running 10.6.5...
    Let's assume that you do. Your problem may be with the Thunderbolt Y cable. The only way to know for certain is to take your entire kit to your local Apple Store or AASP and have them run diagnostics.
    Sorry,

  • Connecting a 20" Cinema Display and MacBook Pro 4,1

    I admit I bought a cinema display from a co-worker because I thought it'd be nice to have a larger screen to attach to my MacBook pro 4,1. However, the monitor has a flat connector that doesn't seem to fit anywhere on my laptop. Is there some sort of adapter I can get? I've seen similar questions posted, but none with my exact specs.
    Or, should I just sell the monitor back to him or someone else?

    It says: Model Name: MacBook Pro
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro4,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Maybe I'm a total dork. on the right side, I see, back to front: a monitor adaptor (which i use at work to plug in a Dell), an Ethernet port, a square-ish port with a firewire symbol, another firewire (with the 'dog-eared' edge), a USB, and then a tiny tiny rounded little hole that doesn't appear to go to anything. On the other side, I have the magnetic power cord, another USB, and two small round holes - one for DVI?, one for headphones.
    This is where I get a little confused. The Cinema Display looks like the one in the bottom right of this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini_DisplayPort, and the little round port on the left of my laptop has the same symbol, but is the size of the headphone port.
    Do I need some adapter from the squareish one to the little round one?

  • Cinema Display and MacBook Pro - Power Button won't work

    I have been using a 20" Apple Cinema Display (plastic model) with a 17" Powerbook and never had a problem. Recently I acquired a 15" MacBook Pro and it's like the power button on the display has no use at all. The only way to turn on the computer is opening the computer lid, turning it on and then closing it. The display also won't shutdown the computer, although the power button light reacts to the touch. The funny thing is that the display settings button work fine. Does anyone has a clue?

    Malcolm, thank you for the answer! But I still don't understand why my new MacBook Pro, having exactly the same connector as my older Powerbook had, won't behave the same way? I'm still using the same DVI to ADC adapter, I'm wondering if the new Macbooks maybe have some PIN assignment disabled on its DVI connector. And anyway, shouldn't the power button be able to at least shut down the computer, as long as pressing it would just open the shut down dialog box?

  • My 27" Display and MacBook Pro

    Hi Group!
    Not sure if this is the forum for this. I posted this in MacBook Pro as well, just in case.
    I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) running 10.5.8, and a new 27" Apple Cinema display.
    I am having a heck of a time getting my Desktop to display on the monitor when I drop the lid on it. All i get is a black screen. The only way I found to get this to work is, i have to drop the lid first, wait for the Apple logo to dim, then plug in the mini display cable from the monitor. Wait a second or 2, and then click the mouse.
    Is this how it's supposed to be done?

    Is the display's USB cable connected to the computer?
    10.5.8 could be a problem. There was a display software update for older OSX versions to use the 27", but iI don't think it would work on Leopard.

  • External display and macbook pro

    Is it possible to connect 2 dvi external monitors to a new macbook pro? I am a photographer and want to use 2 displays when I use the macbook omn my desktop. michael

    Apple did actually acknowledge this as a known issue with people running 10.5.2 with the graphics update, and are investigating it. There's some further discussion at this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1394449&tstart=0
    Anyway, what worked for me was powering down, connecting my external display, keyboard, etc., powering up, and immediately closing the lid. It seems to behave better now, though I haven't rebooted since, although I have switched back and forth between running with the external display, and running without it, without any problems.

  • I have a 25" Apple Cinema Display and Macbook Pro. Want to use iSight camera on ACD.

    When I use Skype or Google+ Hangout, I'm not able to use the built-in camera on the ACD. Is there a preference to switch camera from Macbook Pro to ACD?

    I don't know about Google+ but in Skype's Preferences, there's an Audio/Video tab and within that window there's a popup menu for the camera.  Does that allow you to select the ACD?

  • What is wrong with my display and macbook pro?

    When my MacBook Pro awakes from sleep there is something wrong with the screen. It doesn't load completely and sometimes it doesn't load at all. I posted a video here to better describe what the problem is. How can I fix this?? It is annoying when I have to power off my computer almost everytime it awakes from sleep.
    http://youtu.be/l049QlxZmOU

    That almost seems like the kernel panic is having a panic...when you can, go to Software Update and update to 10.7.4. It may fix your issue.
