Upgrading W510 with Colorimete​r, software?

My W510 came preconfigured without a colorimeter but I'd like to have one since I will be dealing with prints.
First question  - is it worth the hassle? I know there are software solution but I've also read somewhere that it hard to calibrate with sliders and software solution might. Thoughts?
Let's say I am decided on buying the colorimeter for my laptop. Is it better to buy a stand alone one or buy parts to install it in the laptop? I reckon parts are not customer replaceable and I need to visit a service center, right?
And the last thing - If I went through and installed a colorimeter in W510, do I need to dish out another $100 USD for huey pro software? It probably come preinstalled on W510 with colorimeter but what if I upgrade? I wasn't able to find it on Lenovos driver page
T540 i7 4700MQ, GT 730M, 8GB RAM, Win7
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you actually managed to get the hueyPro hardware for the W510 as an individual item then the software (from Lenovo) will work. However mine is a little flacky and am trying to get it replace ... Lenovo do not yet have a part number for it - the listed keyboard bezzel comes with a hole for the sensor!
I think I would get an external sensor like the x-rite munki ... it's a lot more versatile ... so you can calibrate you external monitor too and even a printer.
If you are serious about your prints then you need a good sensor.

    Reload older versions from iTunes on a computer, or buy a newer device.

    If you are receiving an error message, find the exact error number that you recieved in the article below and process the steps. 
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

    I just "upgraded" my iPhone with the new software. As a low vision person, your phone was always previously helpful. I now discover that I cannot use the phone easily. The font has been changed to a very narrow typeface and the greyscale has been altered to reduce contrast. The background is now grey as well rather than white. The accessibility options permit only three choices. First, increase type size. With the the low greyscale, thin typeface, increasing type size makes it HARDER to read. There is no option for contrast enhancement. Third, the background switch options suffers from the same deficit as the white background. The third choice is to enhance brightness but without the option to change contrast, this is useless. Am I missing something? Can this be fixed? How? When? Are you planning a similar negative "update"/change to other devices?

    I am having the same problem. I have gone through every setting, set the bold font, contrast, larger font....everything I could find in any post to try and help - and between the new color scheme that makes it virtually impossible to use the pictures of my grandchildren as background (the picture colors now become the theme colors - which now match the colors of many of the "flat" icons...) I am finding the phone very difficult to use--espeically things like the calendar which has now become very hard to "see" and use. If I can't revert this thing to iOS6, I may have to get a different phone.

  • Upgrading from OSX 10.58 to 10.6 - any problems with previously installed software anyone?

    I was wondering if anyone had had any problems with their current software after installing 10.6? (I'm asking because I have a substantial investment in the Adobe Creative Suites and don't want to lose it.) Has anyone had any problems after installing 10.6?  Thank you in advance for any replies.

    I would check the Adobe web site to see if it will be compatible.  If there is an issue you may consider a partitioned HDD and run the two OSs each on separate partitions.
    Ciao.

  • After replacement of my hard drive iPhoto is no longer compatible with my lion software - why ?

    after replacement of my hard drive iPhoto is no longer compatible with my lion software - why ?
    any suggestions on how to fix this ?

    what version of iPhoto are you using? i can't begin to answer that - it is no longer listed in my applications & has only a shadow of its icon in the dock
    what version did you have before the drive replacement? same answer
    what system version are you running? 10.8.5 - the one i was using when the hard drive died
    what exactly do you see when iPhoto attempts to launch? -it doesn't attempt to launch - i get a message saying "You can’t use this version of the application “iPhoto” with this version of OS X. You have  OS X 10.8.5. The application requires OS X 10.9 or later".
    what have you tried? wringing my hands ! i daren't try anything after the hard drive crash
    where is your library located? there is an iPhoto library folder on my desktop with random photos & albums - not all - put there by me - i vaguely remember a problem with iPhoto when i upgraded from snow leopard
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring? after the drive replacement i uploaded saved data from a week old back up and found iphoto looking somewhat sick - no updates were offered in software updates
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library? i'm afraid i do not know what that means
    what type of Mac? a macbook pro
    how much free space on your boot drive? about 380 GB
    thank you very much for your questions - i hope i find some answers

    We might want to have a look at the install logs to determine the cause.
    Please try the following basic steps :

    > Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer.
    Reboot and try installing in the new enabled Admin user account and check.
    Regards,

  • Upgrade issue with VPN3015

    Hi,
    I'm currently trying to upgrade our cisco vpn3000 to the latest software using the web console and it continually fails with the error :
    Software Update Error
    An error occured while updating the image, VPN 3000 Concentrator has not been successfully updated. The current executable image has not been affected.
    The image i'm currently running is :
    vpn3000-4.7.2.K-k9.bin
    and i've tried upgrading to :
    vpn3000-4.7.2.O-k9.bin

    so I should have enough space for the image.
    Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
    Under IE7/8 it seems to fail instantly. In firefox 2 it gets to about 96% before failing.
    thanks,

  • Do I lose all my BBM chats and my text messages if I update my blackberry with the new software?

    I have important chats on BBM about work and SMS texts as well. Will i lose all those chats if i update my Blackberry Curve 5820 with the new software?

    The upgrade process itself will do a backup and restore of those messages.
    However, it is always smart to perform your own backup first, using the BlackBerry Desktop Software.

  • Disappointed:  Safari 3 Still Lacks Functionality with Blackboard 6 Softwar

    I was hoping the new version of Safari would fix a limited functionality issue with Blackboard 6 software. I teach online and my campus (plus hundreds of others across the U.S.) heavily use Blackboard software to disseminate course information. I believe they are now owned by WebCT.
    I had to quit using Safari as my main web browser when the campus upgraded from Blackboard 5 to 6 because I could no longer use Blackboard's special font characteristic buttons or the button to insert a URL within an announcement or discussion board post.
    I realize this may seem like a minor issue but it is an important one when teaching online. I have tested both Firefox and IE Explorer and both work fine with Blackboard. Because Safari 2.x.x (and now 3.x.x) doesn't not support this functionality within Blackboard, I'm forced to use Firefox for now.
    Any idea when Apple might fix this issue?

    According to this information on their website:
    http://library.blackboard.com/docs/bbasr7_0_browserrequirements.pdf
    Blackboard have not updated their software since Panther (OS 10.3.x) was introduced!
    Not an issue Apple can fix!

  • Please Help - Multiple problems with new BB software update

    Hi -
    Re: new software upgrade to 6.0 bundle 2534 v6.0.0.570
    I have a BB Bold 9700, via Carphone Warehouse on O2 (UK).
    I just downloaded this software update in good faith, via the desktop manager. It has changed several things I did not wish to change, some of them without any explanation as to how to revert to what I had before.
    One thing it has done is duplicate all my calendar entries, using different email addresses as default calendar addresses. I never had this with the previous software. Also, I am having trouble entering a new calendar entry on a day where there is already an "all day" entry.
    I guess the more we rely on these little machines, the more we suffer when things go wrong. Does anyone have any clues as to what to do ? Carphone Warehouse could not help and accessing anyone at BB seems impossible.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    To reply to your responses, in order:
    Nothing -- I just discovered the problems and came here to....
    ... Express my frustrations (aka "throw a tantrum") and seek feedback from others who may be experiencing the same issues;
    Yes, I checked the wifi settings and nothing has visibly changed, and no, I haven't received ANY prompts from Apple about app upgrades -- and before you ask, yes, my iPad is registered with Apple with me as the owner;
    The decision to cut the power was one of the moronic moves that bother me, as it renders the device useless for the growing number of photographers looking to give Apple their MONEY to use it; and
    I should not have to reset the network settings just because Apple can't get the bugs out of an update before they issue it.
