Troubleshooting


My Second Monitor Doesn't Work

When I install and connect a second monitor, it remains dark when I restart my Mac. Why isn't the second monitor working?

Isolate the problem to the graphics card or the monitor by connecting the monitor that is working to the second graphics card and the monitor that isn't working to the first card.

If the second monitor (now connected to the original graphics card) works but the other monitor does not, you know that the problem is related to the graphics card. The most likely cause is an incompatible card. Check the manufacturer's website to ensure that card is supported on Mac OS X. Download and install any updated drivers for that card. Finally, make sure that the card is properly seated in the PCI slot.

If the second monitor doesn't work when it is connected to the original graphics card, you know the problem lies with the monitor itself.

I Don't See a ColorSync Profile for My Device

I don't see a profile for a specific device I want to use. How do I obtain the correct profile?

For you to be able to choose a profile for a device, that profile has to be installed. It should have been installed when you installed that device's software. However, if it wasn't, check the website of the manufacturer of the device. Locate a ColorSync profile and download it. Install it in the Mac OS X/Library/ColorSync/Profiles directory where Mac OS X is the name of your startup volume.

If you still can't find a profile even after you have downloaded and installed it, the profile might be damaged. Run the ColorSync Utility (Applications/Utilities) to verify and repair your profiles.
