Am I just crazy? Didn't there used to be a color picker?

So, as far as I can remember, there was a tool in Leopard that let you hover over any color in any application and find it's code to replicate it... I thought it was called Color Picker and looked like a little eyedropper with a color wheel behind it.
Now, I can't find it. I'm wracking my brain to locate it, but I can't.
My main objective is to get a color I saw on a website into Photoshop, but since I can't find OS X's built-in color utility to get the hex code, I can't get it right in my graphic.
Any suggestions on locating the Color Picker? Or on how to import colors from websites to my Photoshop swatches?

I hope I wasn't one of the smarmy ones . . .
I really thought you just weren't seeing it.
When a user moves an app out of the place the system
expects to see it, it will ignore it.
In the past, a lot of users wanted to group all their browsers into one
folder they made themselves, called, "Internet apps." So Safari, Camino, FF, etc.
all went in that folder. When doing updates, the apps were not found free standing in the application folder, and they were ignored, i.e., never updated.
So the explanation you got makes sense to me.
EDIT: Maybe if you use it a lot, make an alias for it in the Dock where you can easily access it.

  • Didn't there used to be an outline font?

    Or am I crazy?
    If there wasn't, where is a safe place to download a few?
    Thank you!

    Not sure there was one, but you could try http://www.fontsquirrel.com.
    It's worth reading through their FAQ page to get an idea of how to navigate their site, and what use the font is licenced for (desktop/webfont/ebook, etc). Used them a couple of time to get me out of a hole.

  • In latest version of MF there`s missing button, which was in previous version: between buttons back/forward and the typing bar there used to be little flash, which showed few last pages I have just browsed. How can I restore it?

    If you mean the drop marker then you can still get the History of the Back and Forward buttons if any by either Left-Click and hold for a second or by Right-Clicking them.
    If you still want the drop mark there also then there is this Extension at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/
    Also the abbreviation for Firefox is '''Fx'''

    She needs to call the carrier on her old iPhone and have it removed from her account.
    Once she does that you will not be able to use iMessage because that only works Apple to Apple.
    You will need to use something else like Skype instead.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes there are quite a few similar reports at the moment, I haven't experienced the problem, yet others in the UK have, so we're not quite sure what criteria determines whether you are affected by this. I haven't seen any solutions so far, so it may just be a case of waiting to see if it's repaired or whether the rest of us are going to see the same thing.

  • Just started using Safari, 5.1 on Win XP.  Places where there used to be check boxes now have little buttons with triangles on them; clicking them seems to have no visible effect.  Help!

    I just started using Safari, using Safari 5.1 on Win XP.  Any place where there used to be a check box, there's now a little button with a triangle on it.  The triangle changes orientation as I move the mouse cursor around, but there is no visible change if I click on it.  Yet it appears that I must click on it to check, or uncheck, the box; I just can't tell whether it's checked.  If I can't get this to work better, I'll have to give up on Safari.  Please help.  (Note: there's one at the head of this thing saying "Mark this discussion as a Question - this encourages people to answer for points and helps you track answers."  I clicked on it, but don't know whether it's checked or not.  That's a fairly minor example.)

    Can you provide an SSCCE that demonstrates this behavior?

  • "There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate" I do not wish to use as iPhone anymore, just an iPod is there a way to use again without inserting a sim card?

    "There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate" I do not wish to use as iPhone anymore, just an iPod is there a way to use again without inserting a sim card? There is a hardware fault but this is confined to the internal sim card receivers and purely the parts related to the sim card there are no other hardware faults! I've tried dfu mode and a restore and cant find anything related to this anywhere on the internet, thanks for any help in advance, Bobby

    iPhones require a SIM card, that card does not need to be active.

    Hi, after installing Adobe CC I tried opening Adobe Photoshop. This failed.
    I get the opening window where it says installing plugins searching etc, after which PS opens in full screen.
    Just moments after that there's a failure warning, no code number, only the warning that PS failed to open and PS will close.
    I tried downloading it for a second time, but this did'nt solve the problem.
    Befor the CC version I used a one year student version of Adobe CS6.
    What can I do?

    Regarding the Flash Player problem, disable Hardware Acceleration to circumvent driver incompatibilities.
    Regarding the Flash Pro installation problems, post in the Flash forums or http://forums.adobe.com/community/download_install_setup

  • I don't have a DSL or cable modem to access the Internet ... just a mobile WiFi (there is no cable available at our house). How do I connect my Time Capsule to the Internet via the mobile WiFi?

    I don't have a DSL or cable modem to access the Internet ... just a mobile WiFi (there is no cable available at our house and the mobile WiFi is our only option). How do I connect my Time Capsule to the Internet via the mobile WiFi?

    LOL!!
    I am in Australia and the ISP... I think both the main ones would fit your description to a T.. big T in particular.
    Your router is really unsuitable.. if it is only wireless and no ethernet.. just buy an ethernet one.
    Do a search on ebay.. 3g router.
    But you can get the TC to join a wireless network.
    It is a non-standard setup that Apple will not support.. the option is hidden.
    If you are on Lion download the 5.6 utility. Go to the wireless set up page and hold down the option key whilst selecting wireless mode.. a new option, join will appear. You can then put in the ssid and passkey of the 3g router.
    But please note the end result of this setup..
    very slow speed. The TC is now a second wireless hop from your clients.. this will halve the speed.
    In this mode the ethernet are deactived.. for reasons only Apple know, they decided you should not use ethernet when doing this.

  • In I06, I have no way of knowing which songs are on my iphone 4s vs being stored in the cloud. There used to be a small cloud next to songs that were not downloaded. This was important to make sure I had the music I wanted when in an airplane.

    In the new i06 that I just loaded into my 4s, I have no way of knowing which songs are on my iphone vs stored in the cloud. There used to be a small cloud next to songs that were not on the phone. This is an important piece of information if you are a frequent traveller, as most of the flights I am on don't have onboard wifi, so it becomes a crap shoot as to what I will have available to listen to.
    Is there a way I can view what songs are actually stored locally?

    Go to Settings > Music and set "show all music" to OFF.

  • My Adobe Flash CS6 Color Picker has ODD colors. I'm using Mac Mini OSX 10.8.1. Is there a fix?

    My Adobe Flash CS6 Color Picker has ODD colors. I'm using Mac Mini OSX 10.8.1. Is there a fix?
    I click on the color picker and where I have seen the normal #0000ff blue color on my windows computer, this mac Mountain lion version shows a purple-ish color. Oddly, If I enter the hex # into the color picker, and use it as a fill, the correct color displays on the stage but when i use the eyedropper on that color, it shows it as the purple color again on the toolbar.
    I've seen a similar thing like this happen when using adobe photoshop. However, the usual solution is to just make the managed color profile set to monitor RGB. The only downside with Flash is there is no preference to set that. The color palette in Adobe Photoshop displays as it should with the correct blue.
    I should also note that I'm using a Samsung 941bw monitor with my mac mini which could also be part of the problem.
    I figured i'd make this post anyway just in case it's the OS & Adobe Flash CS6 and not the monitor.
    I've included a screenshot as well that shows that i've chosen the purple color and then made a rectangle shape on the stage and it comes out blue.
    Thanks ahead for your response(s)

    Seems misleading that on the adobe site for Adobe Flash CS6 it says:
    System requirements:
    Mac OS X v10.6.8 or v10.7. Adobe Creative Suite 5, CS5.5, and CS6 applications support Mac OS X Mountain Lion (v10.8) when installed on Intel based systems.**
