Colorsync Issue with MacBook Pro
MacBookPro, purchased 2007, version 10.4.11 (Tiger) 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Graphics/Displays: GeForce 8600M GT Advanced experience with Macintosh Note: ColorSync Profile First Aid Log (see below) Recently my MBPro display screen started randomly turning into a pale translucent blue, green, or red grid over my desktop. Rebooting normalizes it. Possibly related, my Foxfire browser says it can't upgrade higher due to Tiger, and Recently, the Parallels virtual machine, I created three years ago to run Windows on my MBPro, broke. The desktop freezes. Don't know if it is related ~ I must sort all this out as well. I've joined this group in the hope of learning why this happened and exploring fixes to the ColorSync problem. The utility showed up on my desktop a couple of weeks ago when this began, so, I've used it to attempt to repair profiles, but it doesn't or can't. I've researched on the Internet regarding incorrect profiles in the hope I could correct the tags myself. Did not come up with anything very helpful. Could this be happening because my system is getting older in tech terms? ColorSync may be broken or malfunctioning is what I understand. Should I reinstall my current OS X system? If so, I'll consider upgrading to Snow Leopard. I'm still with Tiger due to my Parallels set up and OS X upgrade negative reviews, but, me thinks, my MBPro's peanut gallery doth protest. I have automatic weekly BackUps and also use Disk Warrior when necessary. Thanks! Marsha *** ColorSync Profile First Aid Log ... Searching for profiles...

Not clear to me why you think this is necessarily a color-sync problem. I'm no computer engineer, but from your description I'd suspect a more general OS or hardware issue, combined with your OS being quite out of date - perhaps you have stuff on the computer it doesn't work well with?

Agree with Mark. 2007 MacBook at home jump between displays profiles (viewed with ProfileMenu) and sometimes fails to conect with Apple Cinema Display. Got to start without external drives. At this moment keyboard is too slow. Solution, fresh updated OS (or reinstall 10.4) supported by processor. I'll do that tonight. Jose Bueno
Does anyone have any recommendations for a large monitor that would be good for softproofing? I need one around 30" and one around 45". I suppose I could go the TV route but wanted some opinions first. Thanks, Jon Crook Director of Professional Services Laser Resources
Hi Jonathan I believe NEC are the only company with a colour critical 30 inch display for softproofing... Let me know if you need further information Regards Steve ________________________________ From: Jonathan Crook <jonc@laserresources.com> To: ColorSync List <colorsync-users@lists.apple.com> Sent: Tuesday, 20 December 2011, 22:43 Subject: Large Softproofing Monitor Does anyone have any recommendations for a large monitor that would be good for softproofing?

No, Eizo has one.

http://quato.de/english/news.php I've just installed a Proofview 700-42" for pressside softproof with a web printer last month and results were very satisfactory. All the other Excellence monitors from Quato is really good as well, so if you are looking for something similar for both desktop and press side/presentation it's a pretty good place to go. NEC has public displays in the large sizes but these lack uniformity control. Eizo (and NEC) has Medical displays that are awesome, but so is the pricetag (for the 42").

You can always combine two 30" monitors vertically or horizontally, to create a larger viewing surface. Both monitors need be connected to a single machine having two video cards. This works well in my experience.
