Color Settings: Getting colors in PS CC to match colors of the image when used as a Windows Background

or vice versa. I probably do not know enough to be able to ask the question properly.
The colors of photos in PS CC are not the same when used as a desktop background in Windows 7. The colors are somewhat more saturated when as a background on the desktop and while not totally unusable, it would be nice to have matching color between my PS editing screen and the photo as viewed as a desktop background.
The following are some conditions that may or may not be relevant to the answer of my following question.
1.) I am a complete novice to Color Management so a presumption of knowledge and the heavy use of jargon may not penetrate my head.
2.) I shoot with sRGB embedded in my photos.
3.) My RAW conversions use sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1.
4.) My PS Color Settings are North American General Purpose 2 with sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1 as the working space and Intent as Relative Colormetric
5.) In the Win 7 Control Panel>Color Management>Device, my Device = NEC LCD2690wuxi, ICC Profile = NEC LCD2690wuxi (default), file name = nl269wui.icm
6.) In the Win 7 Control Panel>Color Management>Advanced, Device profile = System Default sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1 and (everything else set to System Defaults too). The only difference from the PS Color Settings being that Windows is defaulted to Perceptual Intent, but a change in either PS or Win 7 has no effect on the relative color differences.
7.) The monitor is set to the Native internal preset, but the relative differences in color remain the same even if the monitor is changed to sRGB, or any other internal preset.
8.) I have Proof Setup set to Monitor RGB but none of the settings will match the Win 7 Background color.
Now, my question is this. How would you set up your color settings/profile in PS and/or Windows to match color between PS and the Windows desktop of Windows 7?

Nevermind. I didn't have Proof Colors checked.

I'm not knowledgeable enough about that subject, but somebody there should be.

How do i get my hp pavillion dm1 to print on my wireless printer when using t-mobile usb broadband

how do i get my hp pavillion dm1 to print on my wireless printer when using t-obile usb external broadband

Mama Shirley, sounds like you are looking for information on networking your printer. I have to unfortunately inform you that you are not going to likely be able to do that with a mobile hotspot (which appears to be your source of broadband). This is because that card provides your devices with a roaming IP address which is subject to change, because of this it cannot create a stable network for the printer to communicate across.
My recommendation would be to purchase a router and connect the printer through that router. As a note you do NOT have to connect the router to broadband to create a network for your devices. It will simply provide you with an internal network for your devices.
Let me know if this is the information you are looking for or if there is still more assistance I can offer.

I assume that you are referring to iTunes Radio, in which case I don't think that subscribing to iTunes Match will affect the number of skips with it - this page only mentions about removing adverts with Match : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5181

What are the right Color Settings and Proof Setup in Photoshop if you design for the web?

This question has come up numerous times, but I still haven't seen a satisfying, final answer. I would like to make sure that what I'm designing in Photoshop in regards to colors, saturation and brightness will be as close as possible as what I'm going to see in my Safari browser once that same page has been developed.
I understand there are going to be differences between monitors and browsers, but if I just could get an almost one to one translation in regards to color/saturation/brightness from my Photoshop file to that same developed HTML page in Safari that would be ideal.
Currently I set my Color Settings to Monitor RGB - Display and my Proof Setup to Monitor RGB. Not sure if these settings are correct.
Curious to hear your thoughts and advice.
Thanks,
-Tony

if AdobeRGB is the more professional working space, then why not use that profile?
on the web (and in unmanaged and broken work flows) sRGB is the safest profile (source space)
just open your tagged Adobe RGB and tagged ProPhoto RGB document (use the embedded profile in each document)
and go to View> Proof Setup: Monitor RGB (notice the loss in saturation? that's how most of the people on the Internet will be viewing your color, assuming you have a standard-gamut monitor like most people)
always CONVERT to sRGB for the World Wide Web
i didn't read your link
anyone who recommends "disable color management in Photoshop" -- set Working RGB to "Monitor RGB" -- AND MOST UNBELIEVABLY -- "Don't color manage this document" (ignore embedded profiles) ------ is pretty mixed up (in my opinion)
i will recommend reading JEFF SCHEWE and BRUCE FRASER for professional color management information

How to get data from the called program using SUBMIT in a background job?

Hi Experts,
I've a program which creates a background job using JOB_OPEN and JOB_CLOSE function modules.
Between the above function modules I need to call a program using SUBMIT VIA JOB statement.
My problem is, How do I fetch some data in an internal table in the called program to the calling program after the SUBMIT statement?
I tried to EXPORT and IMPORT the data, but they are giving a failed sy-subrc when using this background job.
Kindly let me know your inputs and valuable suggestions.

Kumar,
When we execute a program as a background job then the output will be sent to Spool which needs to be fetched again.I guess we need to use Submit via spool as mentioned by Rajat.
Check these threads to get some idea
submit report to spool & import spool id

How do I get content from my iPad to show up on the tv screen using Apple TV without going thru iTunes?

How can I get content from my iPad and my air book to show up on the tv screen using Apple TV, without going thru iTunes?

You will need to use AirPlay to see that.
Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

I have windows vista home premium and all other versions of iTunes worked on my laptop iTunes 10 won't work, I get a message saying I'm not connected to the Internet when I am. Why isn't iTunes recognizing my browser configuration?

I have windows vista home premium and all other iTunes worked on my laptop, I downloaded iTunes 10 and now the iTunes will not connect to the Internet. I use Mozilla firefox on my laptop and for some reason it keeps saying the connection timed out and I'm not connected to the Internet when I am. Why isn't iTunes recognizing my web configuration?

It probably has to do with your security and/or browser configuration.
When my laptop crashed last year and I had to get a new one, I dealt with the same thing. First, go to your control panel and select the security section. See if your firewalls are up or not. If they are, turn them off. If you have any software to speed up your browser, that can affect the connection as well. Go into that software and disble/turn it off. If this doesn't work, contact customer support. They have a few other tricks they had me try that worked, but I can't remember them now.

Has your Apple ID changed, that's the one that matters.
You need to sign in under the account that purchased these apps (did you buy this Mac new)

I was at Apple Store yesterday and they created a pages document for me. When I got home and tried to open it, I get a message that I need a newer version of Pages. I see the image when I before I push "open". The 'kind' is pages publication.

I was at Apple Store yesterday and they created a pages document for me. When I got home and tried to open it, I get a message that I need a newer version of Pages. I see the image before I push "open". The 'kind' is pages publication. The file does not appear in the 'open recent' list.

Just be careful with Pages 5, it is not strictly an upgrade.
Apple has actually removed over 90 features and some work can be very difficult in the newer version.
It was all done to make it more interchangeable with the inferior iOS version:

Spot color swatches in AICS6 and AICC do not match color in design

Hello,
Some of the lighter, saturated colors in the PANTONE+ swatches library appear to be a different color in the swatch list than they are when applied to a design.
Please, see below for screen shots.
i can duplicate this situation on calibrated NEC MultiSync monitors and uncalibrated laptops. We are running on Mac OS X.8x and above.
Designers are complaining about not being able to pick a color from the Swatch Library in AICS6 or AICC.
InDesignCC does not seem to have the same issue.
Is this a color managment issue?
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your help.

pantone 361 is pantone 361 no matter how it appears on screen--that said--creating a design and 'then' appying a color can have 'different' results depending on what 'effects' were applied to the design--any transparent effects can cause a color shift--and--in my experience--many designers don't realise that when they use an 'effect' on an object (drop shadow, multiply, etc) and then create another object--the effect is also being applied (27 years in prepress verifies this)
as far as your screen shots are concerned--they appear identical on my monitor.
try this test with one of your designers--have them create an illustrator document with a rectangle filled with a spot color--save it as an .ai file---then have them place that file in Indesign and create a rectangle there--load the same color in the indesign pallette and draw/fill a rectangle before placing the .ai file--then see if they match
