InDesign CC always resets desktop color settings on new start

This is very annoying: InDesign CC still is not able to save the color settings I choose for the desktop (palettes, workspace background). Everytime I restart InDesign I have to manually set these things again. Since CC came out, I have been hoping that one of the updates would finally fix this.
I am using a multi-monitor workspace, InDesign CC (9.1. ) on a mac pro. I had the problem under OSX 10.8.X and now still under OSX 10.9.1.

I am having the same problem. The workspace will not save. Every time I open the program, it has reverted to some other configuration. Very frustrating.
I am using a single monitor workspace, InDesign CC (9.2) on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.

    Don't reset anything, just connect it to iTunes. If you don't have iTunes on a computer, then find someone who does, turn off auto sync, then connect your iphone and click 'check for updates'. iTunes will download the update, then update that software to your phone. Before you update though, I'd make a backup, just to be on the safe side.

  • Resetting print color settings

    Hopefully someone can help me on this one. Everytime i try to print a photo using iPhoto, the dark areas print BLUE. The same photo prints fine in Photoshop.
    I've changed all the ink cartridges (Canon PIXMA MP500) so its not low ink.
    Is there a way to reset color output settings in iPhoto? I'm burning through the expensive photo paper!!!
    thanks.

    Have you run a nozzle check with the printer? Something similar like that happened to me. It was a plugged nozzle.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • How to reset my color settings ?

    Hey,
    I'm using Ps CS4 and recently the original colors are changed to other colors !
    see this picture *click here*
    and before I open any image this would appear *click here*
    please tell me how to reset everything.

    I just want to reset everything. how to do that ?
    Precisely because there are so many variables, resetting everything to default values will seldom be the right thing to do.
    You can, of course, achieve such a default resetting by trashing Photoshop preferences as follows:
    To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
    Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
    Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
    Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
    Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here.
    Mac OS
    Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If  you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files. 

  • Color Settings Changed when Baby pounded on keyboard

    My entire desktop and windows have been changed to a weird flourescent combination of colors. My baby son pounded on the keys and suddenly the colors changed in every application window and picture. Everywhere. I can't figure out how to change the setting back.
    In System Prefs I tried "Displays" and "Desktop and Screensaver", but couldn't find the solution.
    Is there a keystroke or way to reset the color settings to normal?

    I figured this out myself, but thought I'd post the answer. In Universal Access within Sys Prefs, there is a button to change the view from White on black to Black on White. That was the trick. I have no idea what quick keys my kid hit to do this, but there you go.

  • Color Settings issues in Lightroom.

    I'm new to Lightroom, and I have been using it for sometime with no issues, until recently. 
    I normally shoot with a Nikon D800, and haven't had any issues with it, importing, and reading colors.  Recently I rented a Fujix100 for a job, and used lightroom as well to process all those images, but I feel like it may have changed a preference setting in lightroom because now when I import from my Nikon, where there should be a subtle gradation, I get magenta banding.
    Strange thing is, this only happens in the Lightroom workspace.  When I export the image, I don't see the banding, and even on a friends monitor, they don't notice the banding.
    Im getting my Nikon checked out as we speak to make sure its not my sensor, but my question is, is there anyway to reset the color settings on Lightroom just to be on default?
    And is that information then attached to my different catalogs, or just the application?
    Thanks.
    -J.
    Edit-  I should also add taht I had to replace the monitor on my computer be cause of yellowing, so I know that my monitor is new (unless they replaced it with a faulty monitor, but then I would see banding everywhere.)

    I think the problem is with the new monitor, not with the cameras.  Shooting with a different brand or model shouldn't have any impact on another model.  If you are talking about resetting default cameras settings, yes you can do that.  But using the Fuji should not have impacted the Nikon at all.  You either need to calibrate that new monitor, or exchange it for another if you have that option.

  • Ideacentre A520 All in One ~ brightness and color settings not saved

    the settings I choose with the touchbuttons on my A520 get lost when restarting. I would like to lower the brightness settings perminantly, how is this achieved?

    hi qwertydotNL,
    Can you try this instead
    1. Right click on an empty space on the desktop and launch Nvidia Control Panel
    2. On the left side, expand the Display sub menu and select Adjust Desktop color settings
    3. Adjust the brightness / contrast accordingly and reboot the machine
    If the problem persist, try to:
    4. Check if you have the Lenovo Dynamic Brightness System by searching it on the Metro UI, and reconfigure the settings or disable it to run on Startup.

  • Odd desktop/display bug - how to reset user display settings?

    Greetings all,
    I woke up yesterday morning to a puzzling problem with my G5. I logged in and started working - and I needed to use the windows remote desktop client to shell into a machine at work. I noticed that the fonts looked sort of funny (randomly quished) so I logged out and then back in. Then I noticed that the problem was not in the RDC display, but in the display of my mac.
    This is sort of hard to describe w/out actually seeing it, but here goes...
    When I move my mouse across the desktop (or what ever apps I have open) and the mouse pointer moves across and invisible (yet perceptible) line on my screen real estate, my background, icons, parts of displayed apps and fonts "shift". This causes fonts in the affected are to get messed up and causes general display irritation. That's the best way I can describe it, it's sort of a "you have to see it" problem. I will also note that this problem did not arise after an update or a software install or weird crash. Just another day.
    So first I tried messing with my display settings (change resolution, color profiles, setting the background to a solid color, turning off screen saver). Rebooting. Nothing. Still there.
    So next I log into another account (the root account). Ah ha! No display problems! Tried creating another user-level account. No problems there either. Now we're getting somewhere - it's something that is effecting my main user account and not a problem with my monitor, video card or OS. That's good.
    So since then I've tried:
    - Grooming the disc that my home directory lives on with DiskWarrior.
    - Repaired permissions.
    - Deleting the contents of home/Library/Fonts in case it's some funky font rendering issue causing this.
    - Deleted the contents of home/Library/Preferences/MicroSoft to get any of its potential badness out of my life.
    - Scanning with FontDoctor looking for bad fonts.
    - Deleted my desktop and finder plist files.
    - General maintenance and cache cleaning (including the MS font cache) with Onyx.
    - Booting to Safe Mode.
    Nothing. The display problem persists afflicting that one user account. All other accounts (root, and a second user-level account residing on the same disc) are free of these problems even though they are all using the same display settings (monitor, resolution, color profiles, etc). And as already noted, this problem was not "brought on" by anything like an update, installation, preferences modification or fatal seeming crash of an app.
    So, my question to all you good people is: what am I missing, what might be causing this and what else can be scrubbed from that account (cache, plist files, etc etc) that might be harboring and causing this display bug? I would really rather solve this problem than go through the very very arduous task of moving all of my stuff to another account (an option, but a very unattractive one).
    I was not a mac user during the OS 9 days, but I remember my co-workers doing the "rebuilding the desktop" dance. I realize that this is no longer an issue, but I guess I'm looking for something like that. I need to remove any and everything from my user account that has anything to do with display and font rendering since it's obviously some setting lurking in that account causing the issue.
    I googled and searched the forums for this yesterday but could not come up with anything like it and all of the maintenance tasks I tried have not worked.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers,
    Monte
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Hi.
    What kind of G5 do you have? An iMac or a PowerMac?
    A PowerMac.
    If you own a PowerMac, you'd better take a look (o
    try with another one) at the DVI cable connecting the
    display.
    I did check my connections, but also, why would a faulty DVI cable only cause problems with a single user account and none of the others?
    If you want to reset the display settings, start in
    Safe Mode, and trash these files:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist
    /Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.a
    pple.windowserver.some_number.plist
    If I were at home now, I would try and report back. But I'm not. I'll definitely give it a try as soon as I can. Thanks for the pointer!
    Cheers,
    M

  • Are color settings stored within indesign documents

    Good day!
    I might have done a more thorough search, but as we use Indesign in a non-english version I may have problems there anyway, so if the issue has been addressed previously could someone please point me to a pertinent thread?
    Anyway, our problem is this:
    A customer provided indd-files and we populated it with rgb-images of various spaces (ECI RGB v2, which is our RGB working space, and Adobe RGB) and exported x-1a pdfs.
    Those pdfs showed erroneous separation for the Adobe RGB-files.
    Our Color Settings are set to Preserve Embedded Profiles for RGB-mismatches.
    But newly imported RGB-files seem to always get set to Document Space in those documents.
    So the indd-files seem to maintain the Color Management Policies of the application as of the time of its creation and disregard the current settings.
    Can this be remedied for those files?
    Thanks in advance for any feedback.

    Thanks a lot.
    Exporting an idml did not do the trick for me.
    »if you enable the mismatch warnings (and I think you should), you are prompted and given the opportunity to overide the embedded policy.«
    I usually have those turned off to be able to have the programm open multiple files of different spaces un-attended.
    But your recommendation is appreciated and indeed seems to be the (only) way to go here.
    And embarassingly I had forgot to mention in the original post: Indesign 7.0.4, OSX 10.6.7

  • Indesign Color Settings Reverting to default

    Hi, in search of some help in regards to Indesign Color settings.
    We are running CS3 and have a standard 'ISO Coated v2 ECI' color profile that we use in a color settings setting within our adobe CS3 suite.
    We use Bridge to synchonize our applications together and then go into illustrator's color settings afterwards and set 'preserve embeded profiles' to off so as to maintain our illustrator vector cmyk colors etc.
    If you go back and check the application color settings individually everything is fine. But our problem is that at some point indesign is resetting it's color settings back to the default col settings with U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 as the CMYK profile.
    Has anyone else had this problem and is there a fix for it?
    Thanks in advance, Kevin.

    I've never heard of this. Try resetting your preferences : Replace Your Preferences
    Are you fully patched to 5.0.4?

  • How to inforce specific color settings in InDesign CS4 js

    Hi, I need to set specific color settings when creating a pdf from InDesign in Java script (not as a preset). What I found in previous discutions is:
    #target InDesign
    app.ColorSettings.cmsSettings="MyColorSettings";
    ( in the Forum
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/1108248#1108248),
    which just somewhat make sence to me.
    I saved my MyColorSettings.csf file in color settings folder, but I am not sure how to tell the script to access it, and I am not sure that that's the only
    reason why the lines abouve don't work.
    Thank you for your help.
    Yulia

    Yulia, everything wrong in your script: first of all, setting cmsSettings and cmsSettingsPath at the same time makes no sense — this is the same as choosing a setting in Color Settings dialog and then clicking the Load button and selecting another setting — the second cancels the first. So, you need to set only cmsSettingsPath property. If you take a look at this property in OMV, you'll see that it requires File not String, as you are trying to set.
    I would use the following code:
    var myPath = "/Volumes/SPACE/Prepress/Export settings/InDesign CS4/ShowPDFoptions_CS4.jsx";
    var myFile = new File (myPath);
    if (myFile.exists) {
        app.colorSettings.cmsSettingsPath = myFile;
    else {
        alert("File \""+ myPath + "\" can't be found.");
    You don't mention if you use Mac OS or Windows, or both at your work.
    On Mac volume name should be prepended with "/Volumes":
    /Volumes/Remote/dir/file
    On Windows, to access a remote volume, use a uniform naming convention path name of the form
    //servername/sharename.
    Or, if you have a mapped network drive:
    /Z/foldername/foldername/filename
    Where Z is a letter corresponding to your drive.
    To find out the path to a file, you can also use the following script:
    myFilePath = File.openDialog("Locate the file");
    $.writeln(decodeURI (myFilePath));
    It writes the path of the chosen file to console

  • TS3999 When using iCloud Calendar, I am unable to change the color of my work calendar. I have successfully followed the instructions to reset the colors of other calendars as desired. However, this one calendar always defaults to purple.  Help!

    File>New Calendar to create a new calendar (Groups are for grouping calendars and I should ignore them). When you've created the calendar, control-click on it in the sidebar and choose 'Get Info' There you can select a colour. You can have as many calendars as you like. When you create a new event you can select the calendar it belongs to, and hence the colour it has.

  • Edit Color settings (Bridge/InDesign)

    Hi all, today in office we have a discussion about Edit > Color settings (we use this setting from Bridge for syncro).
    The question is: if i change Color settings (es. i change the rgb or cmyk working space) from InDesign i change only the swatches color? Is this correct? Because the graphic imported can (or not) maintain their color profile. What is wrong?
    Many thanks!

    Edit > Color settings (we use this setting from Bridge for syncro).
    Color Settings is an application preference—you are setting the color preferences for new documents. So changing the Working Spaces in Color Settings will only affect existing documents if they have no color profile assigned (i.e., the Color Management Policies were set to Off when the document was created). If you want to change a document's profile you have to do it via Edit > Assign or Convert to Profile...
    1) if i draw a frame filled cyan swatch, this color have the profile color that i set in the color settings?
    All native colors are assigned the document's profile (see Edit > Assign profiles...). The assigned profile isn't necessarily the same as the current Color Setting's working space
    2) if i import graphic with or without icc profile the assignment will be only when i export pdf, is it correct?
    If an imported CMYK graphic has no profile embedded, or the document's CMYK policy is Off or Preserve Numbers (Ignore Linked Profiles), it will be assigned the document's profile.
    When you export a PDF, the Output settings tab determines whether colors will be converted or profiles will be included.
