What is the factory setting for the Brightness Control?

Hi. I'm calibrating my monitor and I have to set the Brightness Control back to the Factory Setting. Does anybody know what the factory setting is? Thank you!

That may still be too high. The brightness is really cranked up on monitors these days. I doubt even at the minimum setting if you can get to the recommended luminance of 150 cd/m².
This link might help you determine the best setting. As you are adjusting the brightness up and down, you might see a subtle difference; a lot depends on the capabilities of the monitor.

  • The factory profile for the display could not be found.

    Whenever I try to color calibrate my Mid 2010 iMac I get the error message "The factory profile for the display could not be found". When you look at the profile settings for the display a color sync profile is set, but the setting for the factory profile is blank. I know where the color sync profiles are stored but it seems to me that the display has lost the setting to the factory profile. Can anyone tell me what the default factory profile setting should be? and how do you restore the setting? (note: I seem to have all the ICC files, it's the default factory setting itself that is missing)

    There seems to be a lot of posts about this issue dotted around the net with no-one able to come up with a solution. So I found a solution myself! =P
    1) Download a copy of Plistedit Pro. It's shareware, so donate!
    2) Edit /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist (you will need to create a copy of the file, edit the copy and then copy back)
    Using the plist editor find the coloursync entry for your device and simply edit the factory default entry to point to a valid colorsync profile file (.icc).
    I can now colour calibrate my iMac again. Phew!!!

  • Can Not Calibrate the display. The factory profile for the display...

    I have an apple cinema display 20" and a mac powerbook g4 (1.25 GHx PowerPC g4, 1.25 GB DDR SDRAM) with os 10.4.9. All of my software is up to is date.
    I used to be able to calibrate my colorsync profiles. My computer's hard drive recently failed and I had it replaced and the system re-installed (If any of you live in NYC, I took it to tek Serve, and they know what they are doing).
    Now when I try to calinbrate my monitor I get the error "Can Not Calibrate the display. The factory profile for the display could not be found." Like I said I have updated to 10.4.9 but this hasnt solved my problem. I have restarted my computer, and this has also not solved my problem.
    Any help!?! Please! This is important to me as I do color work for print and I need to see colors accurately When I use my computer.

    I fixed it already. There was indeed a problem in the preferences. In my case I removed the whole preferences folrder to the desktop (which forces the computer to rebuild it fresh) and it worked fine! Then one at a time 'as it was needed, I put back the preferences for other applications (mail, itunes etc). Turns out no preferences was better than whatever corrupted preference was in there causing the problem. You know what I mean. If no preferences are there the applications start over building it new automatically. So it was like a preferences restart. sorta.
    Unfortunately, since I dont have applecare I had to spend 50 bucks on the phone with apple to figure this out. It's amazing how long it took them to actually pinpoint the problem. Hopefully if anyone gets that error in the future they'll find this post on google and save some bucks.

  • Where is the privacy setting for the trial version of cs6 photoshop. I would like to turn it off.

    Where is the privacy setting for the trial version of cs6 photoshop. I would like to turn it off. The answers given by 'Staff' are incorrect - it is NOT locared within Help/Adobe Product Improvement Program! I use W7 64bit.

    You are correct.
    The privacy settings will be those of the "trial experience" and that has nothing to do with the APIP.

  • What is the default/factory setting for the brightness on the iPhone 4?

    I prefer to have default/factory settings for my iPhone 4. Someone moved the brightness slider and I would like to change it back. A screenshot would be rather preferred.

    Just set it to a level that is comfortable for you. Why does it matter if it is the "default" position?

  • How can you change the default setting for the alarm for new events?

    When I create a new Event, it will create an alarm that will activate 15 minutes before the event. I'd like to change the settings so the default setting would be that when I create a new event it will activate 1 day before the actual event. Is it possible to change this? Thanks.

    Greetings, David.
    alarm...activate 1 day before the actual event. Is it possible to change this?
    Sure.
    _Go to iCal > Preferences > General >"Add a default alarm to all new events and invitations"
    _Change the current value from 15 minutes to whatever minute value you like (1440 for 24 hours).
    _Of course this will only affect NEW events. Not those already created.
    _Close the window and your done.
    Hope that helps.

  • I am needing to set the DEFAULT Print to be ACTUAL SIZE not FIT.  I need this to be the DEFAULT SETTING for the program.

    I have a couple users using Acrobat XI Pro and when they print a PDF it is shrunk to 96.08%.  I need to find a way to set the DEFAULT Setting to be Actual Size.  We are a Law Firm and the Document Numbering is being cut off from the docs due to the Shrinking.
    Has anyone had any experience in changing the DEFAULT settings of the Print Window? Can you please pass along any knowledge on how to accomplish this?  Thanks for your time and replies.

    Acrobat and Reader's Fit and Scale functions are "sticky".
    From the Print Dialog > Page Size & Handling
    Any option you choose will remain active for all subsequent documents.
    (Some features remain active until the program is quit/restarted)
    Choose Actual Size
    Do not change the selection, it will retain the setting.

  • Is there no way to change the default setting for the save as directory

    I been searching but running into a dead end, no answer.
    Thx
    Russ

    Will someone, preferably from Adobe, PLEASE give a straight answer to this question. It is such an easy question and the answers seem to be bending over backwards to avoid it.
    The question is: What must a Reader user do to change the directory to which Reader, by default, points when instructed to save a file?
    The current default is the Windows "My Documents" directory. The goal is any directory of the user's choice.
    The question does not ask how to modify or attach add-ons to Windows. It is not how to add icons to Windows save dialogs. It is simply how to adjust Reader to specify a different default save-to directory. Maybe it's a line in an INI file or other configuration file. Maybe it's a registry key. But it must be something, because Reader somehow knows how to point to "My Documents." How may the user change it?
    Thank you.

  • Problem with the EQ setting for the music app

    I have an iPhone 6. Whenever I listen to music on my iPhone, I set the equalizer (EQ) in the settings app to Rock. However, whenever I stop playing music, and then begin playing music again a little while later, the EQ has reset itself to "Off". I am constantly having to go back to Settings to reset the EQ. Is there something I can do to stop the phone from the EQ by itself?

    Here a short video which shows the problem I am talking about

  • What happened to the permanent setting for the font, size, color of e-maild I send?

    I used to be able to go to settings and put in the font, size, color that I wanted to use for all the e-mails I write. I can no longer find it. Also the size I am using when read by the receiver of the e-mail is way larger than what I have written it in. Is there no longer a way to put in the font etc. you want to always use in writing an e-mail?

  • HT4110 What is the best battery setting for the MacBook Pro 13 Retina display?

    I want to know the best setting for the battery for the MacBook Pro 13 Retina display.

    To add just a little
    Keep it plugged in when near a socket so you keep the charging cycles down on your LiPo (lithium polymer) cells / battery, but not plugged in all the time. When not being used for several hours, turn it off.
    And best "tip" is if its near a socket,...plug it in as long as you can (especially at home) since cycle count on the battery are the "miles that wear out the tires (battery)", however again, not plugged in all or most of the time.
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
    "Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time."
    General rule to remember of Lithium batteries is:
    Never drain them LOW  & dont always/often store them HIGH
    While cycle count is commonly seen to be the “miles” on your Lithium Ion pack cell in your Macbook, which they are, this distinction is not a fine line at all, and it is a big misconception to “count charge cycles”
    *A person who has, for example, 300 charge cycles on their battery and is recharging at say 50-60% remaining of a 100% charge has better battery usage and care than another person who has 300 charge cycles at say 15% remaining on a 100% charge. 
    DoD (depth of discharge) is far more important on the wear and tear on your Macbook battery than any mere charge cycle count.  *There is no set “mile” or wear from a charge cycle in general OR in specific.    As such, contrary to popular conception, counting cycles is not conclusive whatsoever, rather the amount of deep DoD on an averaged scale of its use and charging conditions.
                              (as a very rough analogy would be 20,000 hard miles put on a car vs. 80,000 good miles being something similar)
    *Contrary to some myths out there, there is protection circuitry in your Macbook and therefore you cannot overcharge it when plugged in and already fully charged
    *However if you don’t plan on using it for a few hours, turn it OFF (plugged in or otherwise) ..*You don’t want your Macbook both always plugged in AND in sleep mode       (When portable devices are charging and in the on or sleep position, the current that is drawn through the device is called the parasitic load and will alter the dynamics of charge cycle. Battery manufacturers advise against parasitic loading because it induces mini-cycles.)
    Keeping batteries connected to a charger ensures that periodic "top-ups" do very minor but continuous damage to individual cells, hence Apples recommendation above:   “Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time”, …this is because “Li-ion degrades fastest at high state-of-charge”.
                        This is also the same reason new Apple notebooks are packaged with 50% charges and not 100%.
    LiPo (lithium polymer, same as in your Macbook) batteries do not need conditioning. However...
    A lot of battery experts call the use of Lithium cells the "80% Rule" ...meaning use 80% of the charge or so, then recharge them for longer overall life.
    Never let your Macbook go into shutdown and safe mode from loss of power, you can corrupt files that way, and the batteries do not like it.
    The only quantified abuse seen to Lithium cells are instances when often the cells are repeatedly drained very low…. key word being "often"
    Contrary to what some might say, Lithium batteries have an "ideal" break in period. First ten cycles or so, don't discharge down past 40% of the battery's capacity. Same way you don’t take a new car out and speed and rev the engine hard first 100 or so miles.
    Proper treatment is still important. Just because LiPo batteries don’t need conditioning in general, does NOT mean they dont have an ideal use / recharge environment. Anything can be abused even if it doesn’t need conditioning.
    From Apple on batteries:

    Storing your MacBook
    If you are going to store your MacBook away for an extended period of time, keep it in a cool location (room temperature roughly 22° C or about 72° F). Make certain you have at least a 50% charge on the internal battery of your Macbook if you plan on storing it away for a few months; recharge your battery to 50% or so every six months roughly if being stored away. If you live in a humid environment, keep your Macbook stored in its zippered case to prevent infiltration of humidity on the internals of your Macbook which could lead to corrosion.
    Considerations:
    Your battery is subject to chemical aging even if not in use. A Lithium battery is aging as soon as its made, regardless.
    In a perfect (although impractical) situation, your lithium battery is best idealized swinging back and forth between 20 and 85% SOC (state of charge) roughly.
    Further still how you discharge the battery is far more important than how it is either charged or stored short term, and more important long term that cycle counts.
    Ultimately counting charge cycles is of little importance.  Abuse in discharging (foremost), charging, and storing the battery and how it affects battery chemistry is important and not the ‘odometer’ reading, or cycle counts on the battery. 
    Everything boils down to battery chemistry long term, and not an arbitrary number, or cycle count.
    Keep your macbook plugged in when near a socket since in the near end of long-term life, this is beneficial to the battery.
    Peace
