Game response was sluggish. Pushed button to go back to main screen. Screen would not respond. Got colored lines like a vertical roll, then screen went dark. Screen will not turn on at all

I was playing a game. Game response was sluggish. I pushed button to exit game and go back to main screen. Took several times to get a response from iPad. The response was a black screen with horizontal colored lines similar to horizontal roll on an old TV. Screen went black and will not come back on. Attempted sync, but iPad no longer shows up in iTunes. Help!

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Color turned to grey....Help!

I hit a couple of keys and all of one color went gray on one layer and I can't get it back to color. Even if I open a new layer, It comes in as gray.
What did I do wrong, and how can I get back to colour? I am on CMYK mode. Illustrator CS3. Can someone help? TIA!

Scott, I'm terribly sorry. I originated the illo in Illustrator and moved to photoshop. It was photoshop that
this happened in. I'll post over there! Thanks for the reply.

Creating a film roll

I had backed up all my earlier photos to dvd and removed them from my hard drive. Then I got an external drive and decided to re-import them to iphoto6
(some had been from 4 & 5) they re-imported but all to one big library without any film rolls, when I try to group them and create a roll from file menu it (create film roll) is grayed out. How can I create new film rolls?

Gee ---
this problem with not being able to create a new film roll (unless you have all the years in the library checked) has been going around since at least 2002. DUMB DUMB DUMB interface. It is 2007 and it is STILL HAPPENING. I thought is was my new camera (having only had the problem since getting it in Feb '07), but now realize it is not about the camera, but about the iPhoto IF. SIX looooonnnnng phone calls later with Apple Care, a complete reinstall of iPhoto, and rebuild (BY HAND) of all 10,000+ photos, and still it happens. Not one of the Apple Care people knew anything about it, until the "senior specialist" (the 6th iPhoto "expert" I spoke with) looked on the discussion strings.

Aperture photo book: all the photos have a darker square, like a film, across 3/4 of the photos.

I made a book in Aperture 3 and left it for a few days. Now all the photos have a darker square, like a film, centered on them, and they have resized themselves, leaving cut-off heads etc., and I cannot get the original dimensions back.

I suggets upgrading to 10.10.3 since you are using Aperture 3.6. You might try a rebuild of the library. If you have a screen shot, that might provide more details.

I have an HP 1400 all in one color printer that doesn't print

Suddenly this printer takes forever to print the "test" page and will not print from the computer. Yes, it is properly "hooked" up. I really like this printer and would hate to think that HP has become a throw away company. What can I do to diagnose this problem? It uses cartridges 21 b and 22 color.

Hi,
You could try this link that gives information about print jobs not printing:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02205477&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=441...
If you expand on the relevant operating system it should guide you through using the print diagnostic utility.
You also mentioned that the printer is taking a long time to print a test page so this link may be useful:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/documentSubCategory?tmp_rule=53232&tmp_task=solveCategory&lc=en&d...
Please go to the section on slow printing.
I hope that this helps.

How can I access data on an external drive in my mac after all folders have been turned into .lnk files? I am desperate!

I don't know what happened, I connected my external hd today and all files had been turned into that!

I know I am going to sound really stupid when I ask this, but how do I do that? There was this folder called Recycle Bin, which I have deleted already but the files are still in the same format. I know they are in the HD 'cause of the space taken up in it, but I would like to know exactly what to do to clear the malware altogether and have access to the stuff I have again.
Thank you very much in advance and sorry for being such a dummy

IPhoto5 to iPhoto 6 upgrade: All Film Rolls in 1 Roll Now

Hi,
I have an external Firewire HD with my entire iPhoto library on it (over 13,000 photos/11 GB). I have back-up DVDs of each year (1999-2005) that I burned through iPhoto. Prior to upgrading to iPhoto 6 on the FW HD, I placed each folder from off the burned DVDs from IP5 (1999-2005) in the iPhoto library and then when I launched IP6 it asked me if I wanted to make a new library before importing the photos, and I agreed, yes. All the photos were imported, but they are all in one film roll. When I check an individual photo, it appears to still have all the meta-data (including the actual day it was shot). How do I fix this ? I am semi-savvy on OS X, but it appears the semi is the operative word here. I have "View as Rolls" selected under View. After doing a search here and reviewing Lori Diloreto's website (excellent resource-thanks Lori !), I just can't get my head around what I am doing wrong. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards, Chris

Do you have a backup copy of your V5 library as before you added the other folders and updated? If so move it into your Pictures folder, moving the other one to the desktop and identify as questionable. Now launch iPhoto and it will tell you it needs to update that library. Your should retain your rolls, keywords, etc. for those photos in the library at that time. Once you have the new V6 library up and running, mount a DVD disk and copy the folders of pictures to the desktop. Now import each folder into iPhoto from there. You should get a new roll for each folder imported. Do that for each disk.
If those DVD disks are titled iPhoto Library then they are in the iPhoto format and will be imported differently. The will have files in the library folder similar to those in your V5 library folder, thumbail files, data files, etc.
Again, starting from your old V5 library update just it to V6. Then put one of the DVDs in the drive and it will appear in iPhoto's Source pane directly underneath the Library icon - like this. You can drag that disc icon onto the Library icon to import all of the photos on that DVD disc and you'll keep keywords, comments, rolls, etc. intact. Do that for each disk.

How can I get a display of all running programs in lion like I used to get when I did a 4 finger swipe in snow leopard?

how can I get a display of all running programs in lion like I used to get when I did a 4 finger swipe in snow leopard?
I liked to turn off running programs without a window that I was no longer using
thanks.
Best I can do now is to open the "force quit" window and click on programs I want to stop and then send each one a "command-Q" and then repeat as necessary

Command + Tab is what you are after i think

My iPad 3 screen all of a sudden turned into a negitive of a picture, black

My iPad 3 screen all of a sudden turned into black & white, almost like a photo negative...WHY? How do I change it back?

THANK YOU!!!!!!! :) I was panicking because this is my camera right now, I am in Haiti for 10 days and my phone (which was my camera) got stolen at OHare airport on my way here!!! THANK YOU THANK THANK YOU!!!!

All my photos are turning gray scale!

Help!
I'm new to Aperture, just loaded version 3. I was playing around with color correcting a photo and clicked on the B&W option. Now all my photos are turning B&W. What did I do, and more importantly, how can I fix it???

Welcome to the forums.
To remove the adjustments, select the affected images, go to the pulldown menu >Photos>Reset All Adjustments.
or
in the adjustments tab, the cog in the top right hand corner of the tab, Reset All Adjustments.
The Apple site has some great videos giving an overview of how to use the adjustments

Hi,
What is the exact name of the desktop app you have? Is it "Acrobat Reader DC", "Acrobat Pro DC" or "Acrobat Standard DC"?
(Previously, your question was posted to the wrong forum - the Reader/Acrobat DC mobile forum.)
If you have the paid product ("Acrobat Pro DC" or "Acrobat Standard DC"), you can contact Adobe Customer Care.

Can iPhoto 9 display my film rolls like iPhoto 6 did?

Hi,
I've just installed iLife '11 and my iPhoto library is all over the place.
Everything used to be in order by date which was at the right hand side of the title on each film roll but now all the rolls or 'events' as they're now known are displayed as avatars with the date below in small writing. I liked the old way as it was in order and i could manipulate it the way i wanted it.
For instance, i have numerous rolls which contain photos of the same thing but which are all taken at different times and now these rolls are listed by the first photo's date.
I don't want the rolls displayed in this new fashion with a photo from each, i want a long list which i can scroll down and find what I'm looking for then open. It's easier for me to organise my pictures like that. I could add or remove photos to and from different rolls by just dragging and dropping them.
I have several rolls which are added to frequently and edited at the same time.
Is there any way to get round this?
Is there any way to display my photos as a list instead of this photo montage?
Thanks.

Have you looked at Photo view - that basically is how it works
You also can view the library in photos view
And albums and folders are an easier way of doing what you wnat
as to going back - sure - load the backup of your iPhoto 6 library and reinstall iPhoto 6 from the original source

Mixing Pantone Colors - Just like CMYK channels???

Hey Everyone,
I just signed up to the forum and had a look around. Hello everyone and I'm glad forums like this are around!
So, my question is hopefully one that is possible. I've looked elsewhere but can't find any difinitive answer or perhaps I haven't worded the question right but here it goes...
What I'd like to do [in photoshop] is treat 4 pantone colors just like CMYK channels. What I mean by that is that I would like to replace Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black with my own colors [pantone colors] and have them mix and act exactly like those channels. As in, when I open a full color image, and my pantone [or any color] channels or color profile is active, the full color image will react to those colors [with the blending of the colors].
Instead of 45% Cyan, 55% Magenta, 83% Yellow, and 2% Black in a given spot, it would be a mix of the 4 chosen colors [example: 45% pantone A, 55% Pantone B, 83% Pantone C, 2% Pantone D].
or to put it another way, if I were to color the background in, say, a blue, I would be able to use the "Info" panel to see how much of each pantone color was mixed to create that color. Obviously there would be a limit to the colors I could create based on the pantone colors I select.
I don't want to do anything printing wise with this technique. I am looking at it solely as an onscreen viewer or perhaps use it in some manner for screen printing.
Anybody have any ideas on how to achieve this?
Many thanks in advance.

Beyond setting up a multichannel document there is no magic. And it is still merely an approximation because some colors can neither be simulated on-screen nor actually printed that way. That ultimately is the whole point - PS can't simulate anything that is impossibole in the "real world" and expressed as a color profile. Anyway, I have the feeling that you have a wrong understanding what spot colors actually are/ are meant for. They simply won't respond like the basic CMYK channels because their actual inks don't behave that way. Your ink percentages will never represent anything equivalent to a mathematical mixing formula as when using RGB or CMYK, instead they are the inks color multiplied by the opacity. In case of an on-screen simulation/ proof they would not even necessarily include effects that happen due to spectral absorption when light travels through the inks or the inks mixing chemically/ physically at the pigment level. It really doesn't exactly make sense for what you have possibly in mind due to the aforementioned specifics and limitations of the simulation. One could even go so far as to craft everything in red on screen and then swap the color for green during the printing process, assuming only 100% opacities are used. That is to say spot colors are often more considered like masks that constrain the actual ink to certian areas and when you think of it that way, you may begin to understand how and why your grand plan may fall apart. Of course we don't know what your artwork looks like, so it may work, after all, but I realyl think you are heading in the wrong direction, dreaming up something that doesn't exist.
