Cannot get Pages to let printer manage the color

This is actually a Pages '06 issue, but the Pages'06 discussion is closed so I could not post this question there.
I am leaving out a lot of hsitory to be as brief as possible, but I will say this much. I did have Leopard installed, but this OS X had an issue with Painter X so I removed Leopard and re-installed Tiger. There is a documented conflict with Painter X that Apple and Corel have not been able to rectify. I use Painter to put beans on the table, so I had no choice but to re-install Tiger. Whether this is the cause of my problem, I do not know. Here is my current dilemma.
All of my Pages prints use to print perfectly. Now, no matter what I do, they are flat and dull. I would like to use my ICC Color Profiles to manage my color rather than allow Pages to color manange.
To be clear all of my ink cartridges are fresh and all printer nozzles are clear. Many tests have been run on my Epson R2400 and none have shown any problems whatsoever.
What I believe may be the problem here is that in the Print / ColorSync /Color Conversion pull-down menu, 'Standard' is my only choice. 'In Printer' is the only other option, but it is grayed out, unselectable. The Pages manual states that:
'Standard: Uses the default settings in Pages ...
'In Printer: Lets the printer ... control color management ...
Does anyone know what may be a solution to making 'In Printer' selectable?? Am I overlooking something? I could almost print in Pages with my eyes closed and get perfect prints every time. But that has all changed for some reason.
Pages'08 does not even have a ColorSync option in its print menu which gives me pause to wonder, but if anyone has a suggestion about using Pages'08 and my problem, then I all ears. In addition, the Pages'08 manual does not even have printing instrctions, so this was no help either.
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

OK, if you are using the ICC architecture for a living, and if you have a problem with a file format / application, you need to talk to the Apple ColorSync Users List.

'Standard: Uses the default settings in Pages ...
'In Printer: Lets the printer ... control color management ...
This is incorrect. The correct interface information is, "In Printer: Lets the PostScript interpreter control colour management". You do not have a printer with a built-in PostScript interpreter, so the system computes the colourant conversion. Hence, In Printer is grayed out.
Does anyone know what may be a solution to making 'In Printer' selectable?? Am I overlooking something?
Sure, buy an Adobe CPSI (Configureable PostScript Software Interpreter) running on a Mac server or Windows server, or but one that comes as an embedded controller in a colour printer, and you can use the command 'In Printer'.
Pages'08 does not even have a ColorSync option in its print menu which gives me pause to wonder,
Thankfully, since Pages should not have its own ICC API, but should be a client of the system in general and the ColorSync Utility in particular. What Pages does not have is object-level ICC source profile assignment, and object-level rendering intent settings.
You can get this, but if you make a mistake, you kill your colours. For instance, if you select Absolute Colorimetric as rendering intent, you match the white point of the source colour space into the graybalance and clip the lightness linearly to the lightness of the printing condition.
By hiding rendering intent settings, you get a fairly foolproof situation.
In addition, the Pages'08 manual does not even have printing instrctions, so this was no help either.
Printing instructions are the property of the printer manufacturer who plugs a printer driver into the system. What you can argue, and many would agree, is that configuration of the ColorSync Utility and the Display control panel is underdocumented. But that in itself is a bit of a job.

I cannot get any content to print, only the page headers print

Ever since I updated Firefox to 3.6, only the page headers print when I try to print something. This does not happen with IE. Everything else works fine with Firefox, and if I copy the contents and paste it into something like Wordpad etc., I can print it.
I am using a Samsung CLP-310 with current drivers. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling both Firefox and the printer drivers.

Try installing the printer via System preferences using this driver:

How do you get word count to print at the end of a document in Pages?

How do you get word count to print at the end of a document in Pages?

Pages v5 does not provide a user assignable word count variable. With some AppleScript, and a paste operation from the clipboard, you can have locale punctuated word count in this format: 7,803 — anywhere in your document. The following AppleScript works with Pages '09 v4.3 through Pages v5.5.2 on Yosemite.
I would suggest that you copy paste the following AppleScript into your [Apple] Script Editor and save it (suggestion) wordcnt.applescript. Then, follow this with an option+Save As… and this time set the File format to Script Bundle, or Application with hidden extension — saved to your Desktop. Provided you have a Pages document open, you are then a double-click from the ability to paste your current word count into Pages.
Note: If you have Pages word count display enabled, it will automatically count your pasted value as another word which initially may deceive on true word count at the time the script was run.
AppleScript
--- copy below this line ---
property locale : "en_US.UTF-8" -- In Terminal, use the locale command to see yours
if not ApplicationIsRunning("Pages") then
     display dialog "Pages must be running to use this utility."
     return quit
end if
tell application "Pages"
    tell body text of front document
        set wordCnt to count words
        -- Don't want punctuated numbers? Remove the single quote from printf format
        set the clipboard to (do shell script "export LC_ALL=" & locale & "; printf \"%'d\" " & wordCnt)
    end tell
end tell
on ApplicationIsRunning(appName)
     tell application "System Events" to set appNameIsRunning to exists (processes where name is appName)
     return appNameIsRunning
end ApplicationIsRunning

this is yahoo messenger im talking about
thanks
george

okay george, I'll try to help you
1-download yahoo messenger. save the .dmg file to your desktop or downloads, wherever your downloaded files go. Double click on it after it has downloaded and it should open up. (ah, I see-i checked out the youtube video on how to install it). then read the terms and conditions, click on agree, then drag the app (the smiley face) to the Applications folder (the square, as you call it), then it should copy it to the Applications folder. Then right or control click on the open yahoo messenger .dmg thing, and choose Eject, which should eject it into the trash. You are done installing Yahoo Messenger. click your hard drive icon on the right top of your screen and move to the Applications folder. Yahoo Messenger should be there. If you need quick access to it, or use it a lot, you can drag a copy to the dock....
Why are things so difficult? it's good to be curious, george. Might I suggest booking some time at the Apple store, or if you can afford to, pay for some one-to-one training
Using the Mac isn't difficult, but it does take some practise and getting used to

How do I get Pages to quit printing small boxes in my text?

When setting up a small, 2 page flyer, I like change numbered sentences to a dark red, make them bold, then make them superscript. All of this is built into my Pages '09 templates and makes things easier to read for younger folks.
I created a new document from one of these templates today and it looked perfect on the screen but when I printed the document, between the bold, dark red superscript number and the first letter of the sentance, where I had left a space, I now have (only on the printed copy) a small box. I don't know why it shows up only when printed, but I'm hoping someone can help me get Pages to stop printing those boxes.
Thanks for any and all help!
Ron

You may also add OpenOffice spell checkers, there is a long list of languages, including Norwegian. These may be used with other apps too. Downloaded OO dics have the extension .oxt, manually change it to .zip, confirm when asked that you really wish to do this. Open the resulted folder and take from there .dic and .aff files, and move them to /Library/spelling. You may thus have as many spell checking dics as you wish. They may be selected in all the apps based on the Cocoa engine, including Pages.
In the attached screenshot, in the lower part you may see these dics.
P.S. I am not very familiar with Norwegian, but it seems the article does not specify how to download and install OO dics.

Is your printer listed on this page as supporting AirPrint : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356 ?
If it doesn't support AirPrint then you could see if the printer manufacturer has their own app in the store which supports it (e.g. Epson have an iPrint app, and HP have an ePrint app). If not then there are third-party printer apps such as Print n Share and PrintCentral Pro which might work with it

I cannot get pages to recognise iCloud

I cannot get pages 4.0.1.(746) to recognise iCloud. I have recently installed Mountain Lion on my iMac and two Macbookpro's. Everythin works fine on the laptops but not on the iMac. I have reloaded MountainLion and also applied several times for update only to get no updates available. I have gone to AppStore to purchase a new pages but it tells me I already have the latest, I believe there is a later version but I cannot access it.
Has anyone any ideas.
I have written to support but they just referred me to FAQ's and here - There did not appear to be an answer in FAQ's
Many thanks Carriemac1

Yes, there is a later version. You need Pages '09 version 4.2 (1008) or so.
Which support group did you consult? You should probably be talking to the Mac App Store support group.
One method that has helped some users get around similar problems is to uninstall the older version, which should let you install the newer version.

Let the printer handle the colors

If I select to let the printer (Xerox Docucolor 3535 using Splash 3535) handle the color management instead of Photoshop, I get good results. Otherwise the cm is done twice and I get way too much color (mostly magenta).
I'd like the same option in Acrobat. There is an option that sounds like it, but doesn't deliver the same results. How can I get that done? To test if it works, I print the same image directly from Ps(CS3) that I place into an InDesign PDF and print directly from Acrobat(9).
Thanks a lot!
Background:
Dov Isaacs of Adobe told me to let the application handle the cm but Xerox was here yesterday and they insist that the printer does the cm. Either way, I only get acceptable results if only the printer handles it.

Thanks, Mike.
So there is no option that does this only when printing, as in Ps?
I tried this:
Turned CM off in the Preferences. Then printed using "Printer handles colors" (don't know the exact term in the English version).
Result: Not the result I get from Ps when letting the Printer handle the CM. Instead I get the usual problem of too much color, too much Magenta etc.
Then I tried this (CM still off):
When printing I chose "As is (no Color Management)" instead of letting the printer handle the colors. Again, same result.
It only works from Ps so far. I don't understand why there is such a difference between the different CS3 apps when chosing and option that is supposed to let the printer hanlde the CM.
Neither Xerox nor Adobe can tell me how to solve this problem. Both say the other company's CM should be turned off and can't tell me how to turn off their own.

Hi,
As soon as the devices connected to your network the printer should appear as AirPrint.
You may ensure it is connected by clicking the wireless icon on the printer screen to locate its IP, then type the IP into Safari and check if you can access the printer homepage from your iPad.
If the printer conncted but still not being detected as AirPrint, ensure you have the latest firmware for your printer:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03312867&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &product=5271613&tmp_track_link=ot_search
If the printer still not being dedected I would rather suspect the network as AirPrint uses Apple Bonjour and therefore require your network to support multicasting to operate..
You may test it by temporary setting direct connection using Wireless Direct, if the printer being detected without using the router please clarify your router brand and model to better understand your router capabiities.
The steps to enable Wireless Direct can be found listed below:

I keep getting this message on both my desktop and ipad "(cannot open page) Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding" on only certain webstites.
Hotmail, my college website, my bank.
However apple and facebook both work.
help :P

Hi,
I have been having "dns server failure" messages for at least two weeks, now. Working with both Apple tech support and my isp ( Wild Blue satellite) to resolve the issue on both my core2duo iMac and i7 MBP both running OS 10.6.8. No solution until the isp tech came out and went through diagnostics on my machines/ his assesment is that the latest update to Safari has connection bugs to certain isps and that they will eventually be resolved by Safari.
I called Apple Tech support to tell them this, hoping they would get on the Safari buggy case and fix it sooner. Otherwise I have been using Firefox with no problem.
Hope this helps.

Cannot get my tape based media to the timeline in Premiere Pro CC

Cannot get my tape based media to the timeline in Premiere Pro CC, I have eqrlier in my edit, but now I get the hand dragging it with the circle and slash on it . THis will not let the media download to the timeline anymore. What happened.... DId I hit a button and/or cause it to be locked out from loading media intot he timeline. My digital basde media loads fine.

Here is more information: I use Premiere PRo CC 7 and the taped based media in the bins are from a Canon HV30 taped based catured to PP directly in a MPEG format. I have already used some edits from this media as well as my captures from digital, which isnt causing any problems. When I mark the taped based media in the source window and attempt to drag it into the timeline the hand gets a circle and slash line on it and will not let me place it into the timeline. Yet I can still load my digital stuff into the timeline and edit normally. I need some footaghe from the tapes but cannot get it into the timeline from the source monitor even after updating, shutting down and reopening. No avail still when trying to drag the hand with the circle slash still exist not allowing it into the timeline. Previous footage on the timeline works no problem. This started yesterday.

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

If you can't sign in, then you can't troubleshoot and/or pair the keyboard until after that........ so, for that, you will need to borrow someone's USB wired keyboard in order to get signed in and to the Keyboard Bluetooth Preferences.

We own 5 Apple devices but for some reason I cannot get iTunes to recognize one of the iPads. The other 4 show up just fine and we can sync and do all the stuff we are supposed to do, but this one device is never recognized. Tried everything. Help!

We own 5 Apple devices but for some reason I cannot get iTunes to recognize one of the iPads. The other 4 show up just fine and we can sync and do all the stuff we are supposed to do, but this one device is never recognized. I've tried updating the software, reinstalling iTunes, using different ports on the laptop, different cables...just about everything. I have NEVER been able to connect this one device, but all the others are fine. I'm at my wits end. Is there someone out there who can help a relative novice figure out what's going on?
