View 1 RepliesI'm having a problem when trying to burn DVD's, I have get the error 'failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media', I get this error with the internal super drive and also the external Pioneer DVR-116D, I have tried 2 different brand of discs but still the same results.
I had a look around and a lot of people said about cleaning the drive worked but obviously this is happening to two drives and two brands of media, both discs are +R DL discs.
I am looking for a program that will type everything into word or something as it is being spoken or as the professor lectures it.

I'm on OS X 10.4.11 and speech recognition works wonderfully for about 10 minutes, and then it stops working for no apparent reason. The microphone window shows that it hears me, but doesn't recognize anything.
I go to Preferences, turn off speech recognition and within a few seconds it turns itself on again, but that doesn't solve the problem. Even a restart doesn't help.
What's going on here??
I was playing COD4 when the computer locked and told me to force a restart. When I try to restart it, it takes forever then the force restart message comes up and it freezes again. There is computer language on the screen when this happens with the words "Debugger called:panic"

I've got a MBP and hooked up another 23" monitor to it (LG LED) and I'm using the Spyder2express to calibrate. How do I calibrate the second monitor? My MBP is just a few months old if that makes a difference.

I see that on here Apple recommend to do this on first use of getting the computer, but I wanted to know how much it would really matter if I didn't?

Whats the deal with the batteries? I would normally just read through the instruction manuals, but I have heard there is a special way to calibrate the battery when you first receive the laptop hence I am anxious to even start up the new MBP yet.

I have a Macbook Pro and have recently bought a Samsung P2370 monitor so that I have a larger monitor to work on photos in Photoshop. I've got the monitor working the problem is I can't calibrate it. I have a Huey MEU101 calibrator and it's allowing me to calibrate the macbook monitor, but not the external monitor, I assume because the computer sees the 2 monitors as one combined one. As I specifically got it to work with images on the larger monitor, this is a problem.
Does anyone know how to solve this? I don't mind if it involves temporarily disabling the macbook monitor and only working with the external monitor in Photoshop (though the dual monitors are pretty useful). I've read various forums that seem to suggest that I might need 2 graphics cards, or that it might be that the software on the Huey doesn't support dual monitors and I need the pro version.
I am soon to sell my 2008 white MacBook and I just want to know if I should calibrate the battery before or after wiping the HDD clean and reinstalling OS X Leopard, or if the wiping and reinstalling process effectively calibrates the battery anyway? I have calibrated fairly regularly since I bought the laptop, but haven't so for about the last three months.
I've been meaning to calibrate my computer for some time now, but it seems like a wee hassle. I ask you this: must I calibrate my battery? Will it in any way affect my battery life during one cycle? What about the overall life of the battery in terms of number of cycles?
is it necessary to calibrate the batter on my 2011 unibody Macbook Pro?

What spyder and what software would you suggest to calibrate the retina display of the new MacBook Pros?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI work on the macbook between 90min-2 hours throughout the day. At home, I hook up to a twenty-four inch monitor that I had calibrated through a Windows based system and complete my work. Now the files that I am working on are being processed through the macbook but viewed on the external monitor. I don't really care about the calibration of the macbook because the work that I am doing on it without the external monitor is really not color related i.e. removing scabs off of children, removing hair off of the face ect, but I need the final image to be accurate before it is sent off to the lab.
So, what do I need to do? Calibrate the macbook and the monitor or just the monitor and if just the monitor can anyone walk me through this? I know I could "search" but switching over from windows has been an experience and honestly, I am tired of "searching". Speaking of searching, I am still trying to figure out a way to sync my Dell x50v to the macbook, anyone? I know the x50v is old but it is the most solid piece of windows hardware I have ever owned and it still "just works".
I just got the brand new 15" MBP with high res screen, and it is paired with the 24" cinema display.
First thing I noticed is the colors are way off between the two monitors and it is very annoying....I have tried calibrating both with no results, they just have way different profiles to be able to match them.
I was under the impression that starting with the mid 2009 macbook pros you were not supposed to calibrate the built in battery when you bought it. In fact I looked in the 2010 macbook pro manual and unlike the previous macbook pros it does not say to calibrate the battery.

So, what's the best way to do this?
I'm an amateur photographer, and numerous blogs suggest it's necessary to calibrate computer monitors. My old macbook probably needs it - 2007 - but an art director friend of mine says recent macbooks no longer need it. Any thoughts on this board which is the case?

Here's the deal on an old MacBookPro Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz! The disc can’t be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media. Basic problem is the dvd burner doesn't burn!

Just found video instructions on how to calibrate a MBP properly. [URL]. I have messed up here on some steps so I am going to give it a try.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just got a 30" yesterday and out of the box the colors seem a bit washed out.
I figure before going out and buying something like a Huey Pro or Xrite calibrator that I'd try the built-in OS X ColorSync utility.
Does anyone have any tips or tricks to using this? I tried creating a profile once for another monitor I used to own and had very little luck. I'm hoping I have more luck since this is an display and the other wasn't.
