ACR 4.4 FINALLY fixes magenta reds under tungsten light! Yeah!

Adobe has FINALLY fixed the ugly reds that were always too blueish when shooting in tungsten light and correcting the WB! Hurray! Took them 5 years almost! Before 4.4, no matter how much I calibrated by shooting a CC under tungsten and doing it via the book, it never looked correct.
Now can they please do this for the daylight profile as well? 1/2 way there!
I know all about the calibrations and have done them with the CC card, but the reds were always a problem in ACR. Obviously Adobe realized this as well when fixing it in 4.4 for tungsten - they said extreme ends of the color temperature scale.
So IMO, they can also fix the reds (without having users do ridiculous calibrations that ALWAYS yield negative hues for red and a LOT of saturation for RED) in daylight!
Pretty please!

Hi Thomas,
I went back to look at the tungsten/available light photos, and most are in the mid 2000Ks. The reds look spot on to me with the 4.4 profiles.
Here's a shot (saved/embedded as sRGB) of a CC taken with a 1DMKIII and then processed in ACR (just WB correction) with the 4.1 and 4.4 profiles. Look at the difference. I'm going by look - not numbers. The 4.4 looks better/more accurate on the reds and other patches too. This is very apparent when shooting clothes, real life objects, etc. that have those hues. 4.4 looks great. In this example it's 2400K +3 (the only ACR adjustment was to WB click on the 2nd patch on the bottom row - 2nd from left). Is this not what was meant by the fix at the extreme ends in the 4.4 release notes? But I also understand the each camera has a 2 profiles - one of which is tungsten. And until now, I had to fuss with the reds. Now I don't! Love it!

Here's another example from the 5D. I know the hue of the pillows since I own them :) 4.4 looks accurate and 3.3 way off. Look at the EXIF to see the differences. Again, only correction in ACR was click WB.

Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!! SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.

The issue: Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!!
SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.
The cause: It is now clear what caused this problem. For years I had several “all-day” events in my Outlook calendar (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.). In May 2012 I decided to make some of them one hour events so I could add alerts to remind me of the event. I did this by dragging them in Outlook to the time I wanted and expanding them to the time slot desired and then adding the alarm.
The symptom: Syncing stopped working for the calendar but continued working for contacts and notes. I didn’t realize sync was failing until months later when I missed two very important phone calls, so when I noticed it the cause was not obvious.
The failed attempts: I’m head of a software firm and my calendar sync is a crucial to my business life so I took this on with a vengeance. From a quick look at events in Outlook and the iPhone I could see that the problem started in May 2012. Events before May were in both Outlook and the iPhone but events after May were only one or the other. Unfortunately I had changed several other things at the same time relating to other events so again the cause was not obvious. MANY calls with AppleCare proved them incompetent so my internal IT guys assisted trying many things. We tried a huge number of calendar changes and several versions of iTunes, iPhone OS and Office as well as both iPhone 4 and 5, all without success.
The fix: After 18 months of frustration, MANY hundreds of $ expense and MANY hours of wasted time I saw a blog that had a calendar sync problem and it indicated all day events were related. I changed the display of the Outlook calendar to the list view, added columns so I could see “all day” event check marks as well as times of events, sorted on the “all day” event column to move them to the top, and for all events that were “all day” events AND had a start and end time, I removed recurrence and then added the annual recurrence back…
After I fixed all events that had BOTH “all day” set and had a start/end time, I tried another sync. It synced for the first time in 18 months!
Problem occurred May 2012 – fixed Nov 2013

Hi, to remove dummy '_ModGrp' entries, rather than crashing the 'Suppr' key on your keyboard, you can use this basic VBA macro (launched for instance from Excel).
It will recursively remove all '_ModGrp...' folders
Sub RemoveFolders_Click()
    Dim oOutlook As Outlook.Application
    Set oOutlook = New Outlook.Application
    Set objNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Call CleanFolders(objNameSpace.Folders)
End Sub
Sub CleanFolders(objFolders As Outlook.Folders)
    For i = objFolders.Count To 1 Step -1
        If Left(objFolders(i).Name, 7) = "_ModGrp" Then
            objFolders.Remove( i )
        Else
            If Not objFolders(i).Folders Is Nothing Then
                Call CleanFolders(objFolders(i).Folders)
            End If
        End If
    Next i

How to Link equipments(PM) in a Settlement from AUC to Final Fixed Asset

Hi All,
I need your help with an integration problem between AA, CO and PM.
This is the scenario:
We are buying equipments that should not be capitaliazed until deliver them to the customer so to support this we do the following flow:
1. Create an sheduling agreement for the whole year with and AUC and a statistical Internal Order.
2. We create a 'Good receipt' for purchasing equipments(PM) againts the scheduking agreement. At this time we store the equipments in a specific storage location and those equipments are not capitalized. The equipments are create automatically.
3. We deliver the equipments to the customer, not necessarily all purchased equipments.
4. Monthly we have to capitalize the equipments that were delivered to the customer so we create a final fixed asset and execute the settlement of the AUC againts that final fixed.(First AIAB to create settlement rule and then AIBU to distribute)
Problem:
When we execute AIAB for the step 4 we can not link the equipments with the final fixed asset, in the settlement rule we have to calculate manually the percentage or the amount that shoul be settle according to the equipments that were deliver to the customer, but we would like to:
1. Link the equipments to the final fixed asset.
2. Update the material and quantity in the FI posting line item.
3. Update the quantity field in the final fixed asset master record automatically.
Do you have any idea?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
Please check in the screen layout for Asset Master. I think the equipment field is available.

Mac OSX NOT GETTING IP ADDRESS BECAUSE OF THE DHCP(FINAL FIX)

You may get some errors when trying to connect to the wireless connection.
LIST OF PROBLEMS:
-Auto-Assigned IP with 255.255.0.0 Subnet Mask and a 169.x.x.x IPV4 Address
-Unable to renew the DHCP beacuse the DHCP doesn't send the IPV4 address to your iMac/MacBook
-No IP
FINAL FIX:
-Log to the Router Configuration page inserting the default gateway address in your browser bar(It should be 192.168.1.1 though my default gateway is 192.168.0.1.....nevermind).
-Go to DHCP tab and make sure that DHCP is ENABLED
-Go to Wireless Settings and set Channel to "1" and the Wireless mode to 802.11 bg(In some routers it's 802.11 bg mixed)instead of 802.11 bgn or 802.11 n.(IN SOME ROUTERS THERE'S ONLY .11 and not 802.11....that's the same s**t though!)
-Reboot your router
-Shut down your machine and unplug the power cables
-When done press once the power button
-Re-Plug the power cables and turn on your MacBook/iMac
-Go to Network Settings,Advanced settings,TCP/IP and set IPV4 address to DHCP
SOFTWARE FIX(FIREWALL CONFLICT):
-Disable ANY non-Apple firewall or network management application such as mDNS responder,etc..

Great work, nice info, thanks!

A FINAL FIX
Posted: Oct 16, 2006 7:45 AM in response to: Tagliente Reply Email
After much arguing on the phone with apple support, I got a straight answer. The problems are due to old iTunes software and virus protection.
1) Uninstall iTunes, Apple Update, and Quicktime using the 'Add/Remove' software option in the control panel.
2) Open your program files folder (Found in My Computer in the C: drive)
3) Delete any folders that may be left such as iTunes, ipod, Apple Updater, Quicktime)
4) Download the iTunes 7 install package from the apple website (http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/). Be sure to save the file to your desktop.
5) Exit your web browser
6) Turn off all virus protection software. This includes firewalls, spyware protection systemguards, etc. The “how” to do this depends on your virus software. For example, with McAfee open the Security Center and click Computer and Files. Click configure. The new window has the options to turn things off. Turn everything off.
7) Install iTunes 7 (includes Quicktime [needed for iTunes])
8) Restart
9) Turn virus protection and firewalls back on
10) Plug in iPod and you’re golden!
This worked for me and I no longer get any messages about iPod in recovery mode or unable to update iPod.
Good luck.
Windows XP
By the way, I think I clearly stated in my post that when trying to update my nano from version 1.2 to 1.3 (after being prompted to do so from launching itunes 7.0.1.8) it will not perform the suggested update offering up a cryptic message about the files on my ipod being in use by another program.
Now, if you have any constructive ideas, it would be appreciated...

Airport Drops and Freezes---- Finally Fixed!

Ever since I bought my MBP in July, 2009, I have had trouble with total freezes and airport drops.
The fixes by Apple:
1. New hard drive, battery, keyboard, logic board
2. Problem persisted-- new logic board
3. Problem persisted-- heat sensor was missing the sensor part
4. Problem persisted-- Genius said it was 3rd party software
5.Problem persisted-- local Apple certified repair shop had no idea
6. Problem Persisted-- in the meantime I had done several erase and install. It froze up every time I installed SL
7. Problem persisted and I took it to Apple Store last week in one last final try. After hours of testing, it froze for them. They ordered new hard drive and logic board. Then the tech noticed it freeze and dropped the internet. He checked one of the logs and saw that the airport card had lost power just before the freeze.
He replaced the airport card and it is finally fixed-- the first time since July, 2009.
So if you have freezes and airport drops, be sure to check the airport. The airport was never changed when the logic board, et.al. were replaced.

Wow! I would think replacing the airport would be the first step in this madness.

Vista - Sleep FINALLY fixed, still annoying Random Shutdowns

Ok, they FINALLY fixed it so the Mac Pro wakes from sleep in Vista RC1 with the recent EFI update, now they need to fix the Random Shutdowns. These occur as if you were telling your system to shutdown, I do not suspect the power supply because it is not an abrupt power loss, it gracefully shuts down, but of-course is annoying as h3ll...
Here's looking forward to the Leopard/Vista releases when all of this should be worked out!
SH
Does Vista RC2 run any better? Have better Bluetooth support?

... well... that was really a (slap in face) help ??
I never tried sleep or hibernate, but I read the latest RTM had some fixes in there regarding better support now for laptops and sleep.
Ignorance is bliss perhaps? or, it is a mixed world? or, there is still software that is not available...
How about, curiosity? that's always been man's greatest strength, too.
Being able to run Windows Vista on Mac Pro must be something even Apple engineers are keep to do and improve on.
Every release for OS X takes a couple updates to be "ready" for use. Long-term that has meant 2-3 updates for the last three+ releases, and each release meant more work for everyone, developer and end user, while "rules" change and hardware and software has to be updated to accommodate those changes. Even good changes are still costly, and some have been costly.
I've lived and survived FIVE releases, $600+ for one machine license, and over a year of that was "1.0" issues all over again. And the same story will get played out next year, too, bet on it.
Some people like to explore linux and alternatives. I have, and while I've never felt linux offered the desktop experience I want, I thought SuSE 6.4 gave OS 8/9 a real run for the money at the time.
Things to Love/Hate about Vista
I can now help my Dad 1200 miles away with his PC Windows w/o needing a PC. I can run multiple VMs. One computer, multiple OSs. VMware, Parallels, CrossOver, as well as native installs.
And maybe, just maybe, a more secure desktop PC will help everyone. However, a really good balanced review might actually be one from ComputerWorld - Vista may make Mac converts of IT folks!
IT folks can support XP/Vista and be running Mac OS X

Does apple fix an ipod under warranty if the inside screen was slightly cracked even though you cant feel the crack because its on the inside.do they fix that????

Does apple fix an ipod under warranty if the inside screen was slightly cracked even though you cant feel the crack because its on the inside.do they fix that????

ONLY Apple could answer this.
If they determine that the ipod is defective, then warranty will cover it.
If they determine that it is damaged, then the warranty will not cover it.

Blue, magenta, magenta, red (power, system, GPS, WAN) light configuration

Returned from 3 months away 2 days ago and after getting internet reconnected today my network extender will not work. Lights go quickly to Blue, magenta, magenta, red (power, system, GPS, WAN). Have tried restarting several times and have powered down all the devices in the chain, then powered on starting with Cable modem, then Apple Extreme, then network switches, then Network Extender. Still blue, magenta, magenta, red. Any ideas?

It's connected like it was before I left. I also tried it connected directly to my Apple Extreme wifi box with no difference. The gps is connected directly to the extender. What is odd is that it goes directly to the BMMR lights with none of the expected startup blinking light sequencing.
Sorry for the response delays. The account is linked to my wife's email, so she has to forward your reponses to me.

Color correction for photo taken under abnormal lighting

I have a "problem image." It's a photo of an important man making a speech in the city where I live. It was an outdoor ceremony under a tent made of partly transparent white and red strips. It cast a slightly pinkish color on him. I tried a simple color correction, but pushing the control all the way toward cyan had no effect. Is there a method to handle this?

That photo is hugely oversaturated, with a small shift to magenta. Use Image - Adjust - Hue/Saturation, then maybe bump up the contrast with Curves or Brightness/Contrast.
Finally, you might want to brush lightly over his face with the Dodge tool set to Midtones and Protect Tones to bring some fill light in.

Why I have problem with iPhone 5 photos when I take under fluorescent lights?

why I have this problem when taking picture under fluorescent light? is that normal or I should wait for camera update?

hi!
That's perfectly normal, and happens to other digital cameras when using some types of fluorescent lighting. In the photos usually appears a green dominant and banding associated with tube frequency.

Just purchased an iPhone5 and can not pair my Plantronics Voyager Pro HD. I can't get a flashing red/blue signal light.

Just purchased an iPhone5 and can not pair my Plantronics Voyager Pro HD. I can't get a flashing red/blue signal light.

Did you press and hold the power button until the LED flashes alternating red/blue - you may have to hold it for quite a few seconds. If the LED is not flashing red/blue, then it is not in pairing mode, and I would then call Plantronics tech support as their manual has nothing else to offer (I have the same headset, but I had no problem pairing with my iPhone 5 when I upgraded from my iPhone 4).
In the USA, call 1-866-363-2583 for Plantronics.
