Customer Review: Eye One Match 3 V3.6.3 Snow Leopard Compatibility Issues
Summary: 3 Stars
I have a 15" Macbook Pro, with a GeForce 8600M GT graphics chip. I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and immediately started having problems calibrating my external monitor. Prior to running Snow Leopard, I successfully used the Eye One Display 2 under OX X Leopard for a couple of years with no problems. The first calibration I did using Snow Leopard and Eye One Match 3 V 3.6.3 produced a heavy magenta color cast on the external monitor. I called X-Rite Technical Support and they did not take my concerns seriously. I tried all of their suggestions and nothing helped. Finally, they had me send them the icc profile produced by the calibration process. They never did anything with the data that I sent them. After 2 weeks, I called to find the status and they basically told me it must be a problem with Snow Leopard and perhaps an Apple Software update may fix the problem some day. Then, they told me to try stuff that they already told me to do.
I found a workaround on my own with NO HELP for XRite. I found that when I put my Macbook to sleep and wake it up with an external USB keyboard such that the internal display is completely disabled, the external monitor calibration worked much better. In this mode, the Macbook is closed but operational with an external monitor, mouse, and keyboard. There was no magenta color cast when I calibrated this way. Since I am a Software Engineer, I really thought that I was doing XRite a favor by reporting my results because it would help them improve their software. But, they basically used my findings to place blame on Apple instead of using the information to debug their software.
Note that the software is very old PPC code which runs under Rosetta. I gave the system 3 stars because it does work. But, their customer support is lacking and they aren't really interested in supporting the Apple platform.
