LCD calibration

[katie ta achoo]

I rebooted my PowerBook and everything is not the right color. It's all slightly bluish.

So, I go to the system preferences and try to re-calibrate my LCD.

It won't let me. EVery time I click on a different profile, I get my error noise. (sosumi, I love you.)

I tried to click on "calibrate" and I got the error message that is attached.

What do I do? The colors are really fracking with my eyes! The grey is too blue and the blue is too blue and the white is slightly grey!

Thanks.

Display profile problems like this can usually can be fixed by running the following from an administrator account:

/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework/Versions/A/Resources/DMProxy

Does that do it to it?

YUP! thanks iMeowBot!

I thought I'd have to go to sleep, knowing my display was wonky, but now I can retweak it!

I seriously would never known to do that.

The first time it happened to me was the day after I read about the fix on another forum (macosxints maybe?). Whoever it was, it was very kind of them to anticipate my problem and find the answer before I needed it!

[edit: this must have been the one. ]

This happens to my MBP a lot when I use fast user switching. Switch to another user - no problem. Switch back to the original user - screen goes blue and "forgets" about the colour profiles.

Fixed by logging off completely/rebooting but it's still annoying.

An OS X thing yes? Hopefully a fix for it will come about.

I think so. It's not a biggie for me as I rarely use fast user switching. That's the only time I've ever encountered it. Log off and back on again and it's fine.

Just slightly annoying when it does happen.
