Why won't monitor clalibration stay on after reboot?

Hi all,
I just got a new Asus VE228 monitor and it looked really bright and washed out. So I adjusted the brightness and ran calibration to get it the way I like it.
The problem is that after reboot, the calibration is gone and I have to go into the dispaly panel and click the color tab and the color gets selected and looks fine until next reboot.
It automatically creates a profile neamed VE228. So I named mine that and there are two by that name. If I go into the display profiles folder and delete
the one auto created, named VE228-00000469-0000-22FA-0000-00001A48BE81, it just creates a new one wiith bad settings. If I rename my good setting file with that name, then it just wipes out the settings. I even tried messing with the file and folder permissions on the display profiles folder.
Anybody know how to keep my monitor settings so I don't have to open the displays control panel after every boot?
Thanks a lot!
Scott

If I go into the display profiles folder and delete the one auto created, named VE228-00000469-0000-22FA-0000-00001A48BE81, it just creates a new one with bad settings.
The OS isn't creating that one. In the old days, all (better) monitors came with a floppy disk, or CD that had the vendor supplied profile on it. It was a big waste of money to produce these things. People who actually used them lost the disks. Or, in most cases, they didn't use them at all.
At least five years ago (I think more like 10), monitor manufacturers started putting the supplied profile on a chip in the monitor itself. This is now true of any display, whether it's a stand alone monitor, or a built in unit such as an iMac, laptop (any brand), etc.
Both the Windows and Mac OS automatically see and copy this default profile from the monitor to the hard drive. That's what the file in the /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/ folder is. No matter how many times you delete it, the OS will copy it from the monitor again.
As far as the issue itself, that is somewhat common with Mountain Lion, though I haven't seen it with Snow Leopard.
The file that holds that information is in your user Library folder. From the desktop, hold down the Option key and choose Go > Library. Open the Preferences folder and put the following file in the trash:
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Restart, or log out and log back in. Select your monitor profile again. Hopefully, this time it will stick. There are other settings that will go back to the defaults when you remove this file. You'll have to wade through the System Preferences and see what needs to be put back where you had it.

Why won't my wifi stay connected with lion

I recently installed lion on my imac. Why won't my wifi stay connected after I shut it down

This has been well discussed on another thread here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3191630?start=2055&tstart=0
(There appear to be no moderators on these forums to make sure that new threads with the same topic don't get linked to a parent !?)
Anyway... The issues appear for many to be related to a specific Airport card type & firmware version.
I've had constant disconnect problems with my Mini since upgrading to Lion.
My Airport card specs are:
Card Type:                              AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x86)
Firmware Version:                    Atheros 5424: 2.1.14.9
Connecting to my Time Capsule distributing on:
          PHY Mode:          802.11a
The Atheros firmware version appears to be the issue depending on certain wifi network conditions.
After some playing about today I think I've managed to force my Mini to connect on a better frequency, without having to roll back the firmware to the Snow Leopard version or mess with the Mini Airport card settings (via Terminal) by changing some settings in my router (Time Capsule).
These are the changes I made:
Airport Utility > Wireless > Wireless Options
Set Radio Mode to 802.11 a/n - b/g instead of 802.11 a/n - b/g/n (Automatic)
Set 2.4 GHz Channel to 13 instead of Automatic
Set 5GHz Channel to 48 instead of Automatic
My Mini now connects on:
PHY Mode:          802.11g
Signal / Noise:          -64 dBm / -96 dBm
Transmit Rate:          54
instead of previously
PHY Mode:          802.11a
Signal / Noise: -73 dBm / -96 dBm
Transmit Rate: 36
This appears now to be stable (no drops in the last 4 hours). It's a low transmit rate still, but better than before.
The iMac is still connecting on
PHY Mode:          802.11n
Signal / Noise:          -69 dBm / -88 dBm
Transmit Rate:          216
and all is right with the world (hopefully for the long term)

Why won't my Mac Pro sleep after Lion is installed?

Why won't my Mac Pro sleep after Lion is installed?

Tell us, what hardware add ons?
old software? that required PowerPC/Rosetta maybe.
Look for any apps, process that used powerpc and look for updates, check out RoaringApps for a table of Lion compatible programs
does it happen iwth a clean install?
how about if you do a Safe Boot?

Why won't this song play even after I authorized the computer? It says that I need to authorize the computer, then I enter my username and password and it says the computer is already authorized. But then the song still won't play. What do I do?

Use the Apple ID support -> http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/ - click through the contact information and select the iTunes, etc., hot button. You can have Apple call you or email them.

HT1349 Why does iPhone ask for apple password after rebooting?

Why does iPhone ask for apple password after rebooting? It just started to do that recently. I've had iPhone5 for several months now and it just started to do that.
Before I could reboot without having to type apple ID password to start using my phone.

Could be part of Apple's new security procedures that were implemented this past week.

Why won't Safari open PDF-documents after uninstalling Adobe Reader?

Hi.
I wonder why Safari won't open a PDF-document after I uninstallet Adobe Reader. Prior to my installation of Adobe Reader, Safari opened PDF's without any diffyculty.
I've tried to reset Safari but it didn't seem to help at all.
What do I do?
Thanks
Mike

There might be a residual plug-in interfering with Safari's PDF opening capabilities.
Installed plug-ins are listed via Safari > Help menu.
They are located in
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
and
~/Library//Internet Plug-ins
(tilde is home folder)

My mac pro with dual monitors keep switching sides after reboot

Hi all,
I am having a really weird issues with my Mac Pro after I installed Mountain Lion. I have dual ACD Monitors. Every time I reboot, the monitors switch sides. In other words, the monitor that is in front of me with the dock would switch to the other monitor and vice versa after I reboot. When I reboot again, it switches back again. This is extremely annoying. I have had to switch the inputs on the back of my computer every time.

I hate to burst my own bubble here, but I recently added a 3rd monitor, and now I'm getting the same inconsistent monitor switching between my second and third monitors.
Here's my set up:
Mac Pro, OSX 10.8.2
2x2.26 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon
16 GB RAM
Three Dell ST2420L display monitors
What seems to be happening now is that I get three identical 'color' display profiles. The first one seems to stay on the same monitor, but the second and third monitors now switch at random. I can't seem to get them to stay in any particular order.
Any suggestions or new approaches for solving this would be greatly appreciated!

MacBook Pro won't sleep in OS X after reboot from Windows

I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit running on a BootCamp partition on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.3. When I first installed 7 last year, I initially had a strange problem in that the Mac wouldn't sleep (default settings) when rebooted back into OS X from BootCamp. If I did another restart in OS X, everything returned to normal. I never found a solution to the problem but after a while it went away and things worked properly. Now, after several months and for no good reason I can think of, the problem has returned. Everything works correctly in both OSs except for this. Any help would be appreciated.

Tried repairing BootCamp in 7, no change, don't think there was anything wrong with it in the first place.
Here is a section of the log after reboot from BootCamp and it says "System Sleep prevented by active remote login session (600 second threshold)". This ONLY happens after a reboot from Bootcamp, after another reboot all goes back to normal. What could the "active remote login session" be?
From log:

MacBook Pro won't sleep in OS X after reboot from Windows (again!)

This problem originally occurred about a year ago and no solution was found then but after a time, it simply went away. Well, now it's back: after a reboot into OS X (10.6.7) from Windows (7 Ultimate 64 Bit), my MacBook Pro refuses to sleep until rebooted a second time, after which it behaves correctly again. The Console log reports the following message: "System Sleep prevented by active remote login session (600 second threshold)". I've disabled Growl and DropBox (possible suspects last time) to no effect, reset the SMC and PRAM, all the usual things. I've tried when connected to mains power or battery, on wired, wireless or no network at all and still the same problem. Sleep behaviour under Windows is correct. Hopefully the problem will eventually cure itself as it did last time but I would like to discover the reason and find out what this "remote login session" could possibly be. To reiterate, this ONLY occurs immediately after rebooting from Windows.

Why does mls qos trust dscp dissapear after reboot?

The command takes but after reboot, Invlaid inputs detected show up and "mls qos tust dscp" is gone from every interface.
Happens on both 2960-24PC-S / 2960-48PST-S switches.

Hi,
thanks for your reply.
mls qos
interface GigabitEthernet3/34
description *** DATA VLAN 35 - VOICE VLAN 34 ***
switchport
switchport trunk native vlan 36
switchport trunk allowed vlan 34,36
switchport mode trunk
mls qos trust dscp
no cdp enable
spanning-tree portfast trunk
If i don't include the global 'mls qos' command then the voice packets keep the dscp 46 value. If I add the mls qos command this causes the switch to set the dscp values to zero.
Thanks again
ps. there are some other mls commands on the switch... i don't know if these could interfere but they were already on there so i'm reluctant to remove them..

Why won't my divs stay fixed in Chrome after using adobe edge?

Hi, Can someone help me with an Edge problem? I'm using:
load: "http://cdn.edgecommons.org/an/1.0.0/js/min/EdgeCommons.js",
complete: function() {
EC.debug("Commons ready: "+EC.VERSION);
EC.centerStage(sym);
EC.Parallax.setup(sym); } });
to animate a div by scrolling and then using:
sym.$("Symbol_1").css("position", "fixed"):
to keep the animated div fixed. It stays fixed perfectly in Firefox but it doesn't stay fixed in Chrome although the animation works. Also, any page that I've created in Dreamweaver with a fixed div fails to stay fixed in Chrome after bringing it into Edge and then publishing it. Does anyone know about this? Thanks.

Thanks Zaxist.
I had to play with what you gave me a little and removed the "#" from symbol and added "sym." to the "$" in two places ending up with this:
sym.$("body").append(sym.$("Symbol_1").css({"position":"fixed"}));
Works perfect! Thanks again!

Why won't adblock plus stay on the computer, even after I sent $5.oo?

I used to have Firefox on my laptop and my favorite part about it was Adblock. After having work done on the computer, I reinstalled Firefox. No adblock so I reinstalled it. It stayed until the next use; I had to reinstall it each time. Now it does not even come on, even though I sent $5.00 to Firefox because I feel it is more than worth it.

First of all, because you wrote, in effect, that you are having trouble "even though I sent $5.00 to Firefox," I want to assure you that the folks at Firefox and at Adblock are not conspiring to do bad things to users who do not send them money, which they then suspend when you send them enough. So please send any donation because you care (you seem to) and not out of fear (as you wrote, perhaps in haste).
As for your question about Adblock Plus, one question in advance, please. At the upper right of your screen, just to the right of the search engine box, can you see the letters "ABP" inside a red stop-sign shape? This is one sign that Adblock Plus is installed. Similarly, under the Firefox menu item View, perhaps the fourth option down from the top, can you see Adblock Plus: Blockable Items"? It should be there. Also, under the Firefox menu item Tools, can you see Adbock Plus Preferences'? Finally, also under Tools, when you open Add-ons, is Adblock Plus in the list that appears?
These are clues to let us know for sure that Adblock Plus is actually installed or not, which will help others help you.

Why won't my iphone stay connected to wifi

Just recently my iphone won't stay connected to my home wifi, my mac stays connected
just fine. Unfortunately, I haven't checked it on other wifi's...would this even make a
difference. I have a 4S,software is 6.1.2, when I click on my wifi I get the ole "unable to
join the network "......." . BTW why the heck does it want me to "dismiss" ..everytime I
see it I hate it more!!

Try resetting network settings, under settings, general, reset, reset network settings. Basically it refreshes the connection between your phone and all wireless connections like wifi and cellular. Also try resetting your home modem/router to make sure that is a fresh connection as well.

Why won't my HDMI output work after update my iPad to iOS6?

After updating my iPad to iOS6 it won't play my videos on my tv via HDMI cable. The tv displays "invalid format" I don't know how to chnage the display settings on the iPad because maybe there are none. Is there some backdoor way to change the settings so maybe I can use my $40+ cables I bought?

This is vatastrophic! I came to a congressional doctor meeting to give a lecture! It would't work!! Only iphone 4 projected muzzy picture and only on photo show!
Are they crazy? Why did they fricked it up?
Both were updated to iOs6!!!

Why won't firefox open up again after i completly close it?

When I close completely out of Firefox, then later try re-opening it, it won't open. It acts like it wants to open but will not. The only other way to use Firefox after closing out of it, is by shutting my computer down completely. How else can this be fix? When i go to update Firefox, it says that the program is in use and cannot update till i close out of it, but I already closed out of Firefox... Whats going on? My Firefox version is 3.5.16, and my system is Windows 7.
