I recently attempted to download and calibrate my laptop with my Spyder 2 colorimeter. It works fine on my PC.
Right...
It loaded on the MacBook Pro although I not sure since it's an Intel Duo Core processor.
Works fine on my MacBook Pro (and many others) under OS X, or under Windows XP 32. If you use Windows XP64, you would need to download the lastest version from the ColorVision.com website, to get the 64 bit Windows driver.
During calibration, I got an error message at the end saying it did not work correctly.
I'd need more a more exacting description of the error message (ideally a screenshot of it) to troubleshoot the issue. Contact me off list if you wish to go over this.
Apple support helped me recalibrate with ColorSync. Does factory installed ColorSync need to be removed before using a colorimeter?
The default calibrator does not need to be disabled, as it does not launch any startup items; the profile and its video card corrections are loaded by the OS at startup on the Mac, so there needn't be any "dualing banjos" between different calibrators for who will get the last word.
My device profiles for my Canon 5D camera or Epson R1800 printer do not show in ColorSync. My limited understanding of ColorSync is that once you plug in the device its color space shows up in ColorSync.
Is this true?
If the device is going to show up, it should do it automatically. Since most people don't run their color management at that level (preferring application level color management), its not usually much of an issue.
