Color is useless

I have searched and read posts regarding the same problem I am having. When we send from FCP to Color, the ins/outs are shifted and the frame rate changes to 24p. None of the posts I read had any solutions to the problem. Color was one of the main reasons for purchasing FCS 2 and it has been a real disappointment.

How about Color 1.0.2?
Lots of bug fixes and improvements:

IPhone calendar color scheme useless after update

This past Thursday, I updated my iPhone with the update software. Since then, the primary colors of the calendar events have all been changed to muted colors. Unfortunately, the default color of my primary Outlook calendar events has been changed to light turquoise with white letters, rendering the letters unreadable.
Based on feedback received from the Apple Store, I did a hard reset, and then a full Restore, to no avail.
Has anyone seen this and do you know of a fix? Thanks, marc

This worked to fix color problems on calendar items synced over air via exchange. You might want to try this:
To fix funky calendar items:
Do not connect to computer.
Settings> mail contacts calendars > Click on the account you are having trouble with
Turn OFF Calendar sync
Wait ~30 seconds
Turn On Calendar sync
As calendar items push to the iPhone, you’ll see these items being restored and unique calendars assigned. This can take about ~30 + minutes or so. Also, it takes awhile to push, you may have to wait 15 minutes for push to initiate, depending on phone settings and time since last push. But… this fixes the problem.
Hope this helps. It worked for me without restoring iPhone to original settings.

Colore renders useless parts of Clips

Hi,
I have a problem with color that might be a result of my own stupidity, but i cant think of a way to solve it.
So, i edited my project and then did "send to color from FCP".
Everythings fine, I did the grading and now do select all and render. The problem:
Color does not only render those parts of my clips, used in the final movie, but the entire footage.
To make the mysterium perfect, it does so only with SOME clips, not with every one.
Strange?

How do I make replace color work?

I load up an image wherein I want to change an area of #111518 to #151A1D.
I know how to set up foreground and background colors in the two overlapping squares in the line of tools.
I know how to choose adjustments and how to choose replacement color.
I know how to get the color picker.
I do not understand what "localized color clusters" mean.
I do not understand what "load" means.
I do not understand what "dropper+" and "dropper- mean".
I do not understand what "fuzziness" means.
I do not understand what "preview" means.
PLEASE HELP!

Good day!
In my opinion ”Replace Color" is useless for professional work.

Firewire output Support

Does anyone know when apple is going to add support for Firewire out To external monitor?
Or we are stuck with having to buy a IO Card $$$$$
Without External monitor support Color is Useless.
Some info would be appreciated.
Sigi

There will never be any indication of what Apple ever intends to do on any subject.
I thought this was a well understood principle by now.
Consider this, though... Apple appears to be a hardware company that will loss-lead its software to attract revenue. As a profit-oriented company, what would their motivation be to re-tool the software to sell someone else's hardware? Discuss among yourselves.
Consider also that FireWire operates at a given bitrate. Its DV. Consider that the application COLOR was designed, and is stated, to be a high-end correction/grade system. It does give the user the option of rendering back into the source codec, or into either Uncompressed or ProRes422/HQ. There are no options for lowering the output to a more compressed format. Some of this has to do with the fact that it is a GPU-based (not CPU) render engine, and FW(400? I'm assuming...) is probably not going to come out of there very easily... and consuming more cycles is not going to help the overall performance that so many complain about at the outset.
Buying a Grand Prix racing chassis and then dropping in a Honda 4.0 HP lawn mower engine does not guarantee you a competitive ride, I'm afraid... well..., maybe down at the local gokart range, maybe, against the kids with the de-tuned bumpercars.

PHP Heredoc Syntax

"Heredoc" syntax is a feature of PHP that has been around for
quite some time (since its inception, as far as I know). However,
it
still goes unsupported in Dreamweaver! If you're unfamiliar
with it, read about it here:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.syntax.heredo c
Heredoc syntax provides a very convenient way of storing very
large strings or blocks of HTML (for use in templates, for
instance) without the need for escaping any quotes (single or
double). However, Dreamweaver seems to think that when you begin a
string with heredoc, rather than starting a string, you are
continuing to write PHP code. This is very, very wrong. As a
consequence, if you have an odd number of quotes, Dreamweaver will
treat all PHP code that follows as if it were a string--coloring it
all red until you finally reach another quote. This is so wrong,
and renders the coloring feature useless!
This syntax really has been around for quite a long time, as
far as PHP is concerned, which is why it's so surprising that it
isn't supported. Please add support for it!

The old calender iOS6, in the year view, it shows how much busy I am in a day by indicating the color intensity. But the new calendar year view is totally useless!!! also too bright!! Why apple does this?? What is the way to revert the calendar back???

The old calender iOS6, in the year view, it shows how much busy I am in a day by indicating the color intensity. But the new calendar year view is totally useless!!! also too bright!! Why apple does this?? What is the way to revert the calendar back???

Unfortunately, that's the way the cookie crumbles nowadays. Sir Jony Ive's GUI design for iOS7 has been met with much skepticism (to say the least). But until the company sees the compelling need for an adjustment or reversal, it "ain't happenin' ". So amble over to the feedback page ( http://www.apple.com/feedback/ ) and make your displeasure known to the company, OR make it known by not purchasing its products. Because as long as the iGadgets continue selling as fast as they can make them, they will see no need for change.
BTW, do note you are NOT talking to Apple here. This is just a user-to-user forum.
Edit: for now, you can also try out any of the alternate calendaring apps available in the App Store.

Bad color Management in iPhoto 11! makes it useless

Hi all,
the new version makes me crazy. I cannot go back to the old version because my library has updated.
I think the color management is completely different to the old version. If i compare a picture in iPhoto against the same displayed in Photoshop the black colors are much brighter in iPhoto! Also the fullscreen mode is not the same as before. Always there are some things which are not faded out (as before). But the color management problem is a mess.
Could somebody help me? I could provide an comparison example. How could I upload this easy (without using iPhoto :-))?
Thanks for your help.
Bernhard

Do you not have a backup copy of the 09 library that you can go back to?
Do you have a MobileMe account? If so put the photo in your iDisk/Web/Sites folder and use the following code to add it to a post:
Click to view full size
The following is an example of the code in use a comparison of a color calibration image in iPhoto 11 and Photoshop CS3:
Click to view full size
My eyes are probably a generation or so older than yours but I don't see any significant color difference. The PS version is not as sharp as it's at a 33% enlargement which does not smooth out as well as the iPhoto size does. In PS enlargements in steps of 25% are very sharp while those in between retain some jaggedness.

How do i use conditional formatting to edit the color of other selected other cells?

I have been playing around with the conditional formatting feature of Numbers, I have figured out how to change font and background color of the cell i am working with.
However what i am looking to do is apply a background color formatting to another cell (i.e. F2) if conditions are met in (B2).
the end game is this,
I want to make a column of check boxes, and using contional formating i want adject cells to change color (I.e. the example above: if (B2) is a check box, then when unchecked the reffered Cell (F2) does nothing, but when check the color of (F2) changes)
I can make this happen with Logic equations, the give (i.e. F2) some letter or number value, then using conditional formats i can have the color change. but this leaves that particular cell useless to me (i.e. F2) I am not free to enter or edit text in that cell. (i.e. =IF(B2=TRUE,"Paid","Due") ----> then add a conditional statement that chages color when the value is either "Paid" or "Due")
How do i have F2 change color, when B2 is checked and still retain the ability to enter information (or potential have another formula) in F2? (The Cell is not used up by "Paid" or "Due" it is editable just like any other cell)
is there anyway to change cell characteristics like font, color, and background color inside a formula, because in that way i would be able build it manually
i tried using the formula editor inside the conditional format pane, but the only infor it will allow me to retain is one partictular cell. i cannot add modifiers like "+" or "=" or anything else. what is that space used for then?
thanks for anyones help

MC,
You can do what you want in Numbers. It requires an auxiliary column and it's a bit tedious to set up because conditional formatting by comparison to another cell isn't relative, so each cell has to be programmed individually with no option to Paste or Fill to other cells in a range.
For explanation purposes, let's say your checkbox is A2, your cell to be conditionally formatted is B2, and your auxiliary cell is C2. To have the format of B2 determined by the checkbox status in A2, you will:
1. In C2 write: =IF(A, B, " ") The " " is any string or value that you don't expect to encounter in B normally, and using the space character means you don't have to worry about having it visible if C is in View.
2. In B2 use Conditional Format: "Equal To" cell C2 and set your text and fill attributes to be used when the box in A is checked.
That's it. Do that for every cell in the range.

HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw Scanning

I bought and jsut setup an HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw.
We are a Mac household, and we connect via wireless to the printer, which works great.
My issue is scanning. On the little screen on the printer, I can copy, print and even fax. No option for scanning. There is some bullsh*t app that I've had to download via HP called Readiris, which is useless. There is no apparent way to initiate a scan via this app.
So I've bought a multifunction printer that doesn't scan. Any help?

It doesn't scan?!
Below is the text from the first page of the first link one clicks on about this printer. How _on earth_ is one supposed to deduce pre-purchase that it doesn't scan from the main menu? Argh. As an HP employee myself, this is aggravating in the extreme.
Ok, venting aside, this link <http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03967506#N229> is not offering a solution.
I am running OSX 10.9.1. I am unable to find the Full Driver to donwload in order to connect to this printer in a manner that would enable any of the 3 methods of scanning (Via Preview, Image Capture, etc.) to work. Can you please provide a link to the Full Driver for this MFP M177fw for Mac OSX 10.9? Thanks.

How can I regain 10.8.5 coloring of icon names?

I've spent years organising files and folders visually based on colors--used against specifically chosen (contrasting) backgrounds. Within specific folders I had been using colors to group certain files, and by using different colors for different groups, to distinguish those groups from one another.
Now, with mavericks, all you get is a tiny colored dot, which is completely inadequate visually, and it also lengthens and therefore messes up some file & folder names.
Also, when considering how to deal with this new "feature", it seems that it cannot be turned off..., that I'm stuck with this now useless placeholder at the beginning of any previously marked file/folder name.
If it's possible to turn off these new tags, or to remove them by adding a null tag, I'd really appreciate knowing how to do so.
Thanks,
John D.
PS--I've rewritten this several times trying to take the venom and anger out, and I think it now looks okay. But believe me, it's very much there. In term of my personal and perhaps unique way of organizing files, these new tags are a real kick in the teeth.

Labels are gone. You can hate it but I don't think it will change.
Send feedback to Apple. http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
If you go in and delete a tag, it will remove it from all filed and folders tagged. You can delete it by right-clicking on the tag in the sidebar.

Home Sharing Useless on iPhone 4

Once again, I'm taking time away from doing other things that I would prefer to be doing right now to lodge another complaint about iOS. Once upon a time, home sharing worked on the iPhone. It is no longer functional. I don't know which itteration of iOS or iTunes broke the chain (I'm using iOS 6 and iTunes 10) but like so many wonderful features Apple introduces to its customer base, it went from something spectacular to something not even worth using. My music library contains thousands of songs. I am the first to admit that it's a massive catalog and would be surprised to see any mobile device handle it with no hang ups. Yet, when Apple introduced home sharing via iOS, they demonstrated it was up to the task and it worked with few hiccups. Today, after numerous redesigns and updates to iTunes and iOS, my Time Capsule networked music library appears to be only good for playing through my Mac. I have gone full circle from being tethered to my Mac and syncing my iPhone packed with space limited smart playlists via a cable to enjoying smart playlists in their entirety streamed to my iPhone anywhere in the house to, once again, being tethered to my Mac and not even bothering to sync music to my phone anymore (with the acception of my workout mix, which is parked locally on my phone). Why did this happen? I have no idea. Where iPhone once managed to connect quickly to my Mac and stream music anytime and anywhere via my home network, it now hangs on initial attempts to connect and, when it manages to connect after numerous attempts, it sometimes appears to load a limited number of songs, artists, and albums available in my library. It also places songs in playlists that should not be there and disconnects from my network regularly. Finally, if I don't always remember to switch back to my iPhone library when I finish playing from my home shared network, there is **** to pay the next time I go back to play my workout mix (to the point where nothing plays until I reset the phone).
iTunes Match is not the solution. I tried it. While I think it's a woderful idea in theory, it's horrible in execution, especially if you have a large library. I have a fast enough broadband and WIFI connection to know that it should work, but it simply doesn't work.
I'm really only here to complain. I have learned not to expect a response from Apple or timeline for fixing the issue. I just want Apple to know that it's alienating some of its most loyal customers. For years, I used your products to keep myself and my media organized. I don't want to change that and do not look forward to changing it. Still, I was a PC user once and I can certainly go back to being a PC user again. The inconvenience of attempting to organize my files on a PC will be offset by the time saved not having to deal with features you introduce that only work some of the time. I'm begging Apple to STOP BREAKING THINGS THAT ARE NOT BROKEN and to GO BACK AND FIX THE THINGS YOU BROKE. I would much prefer that you concentrate on fixing these glitches than introducing useless new UI features like different shades of color at the top of the iOS task bar. I don't know how long I will give for some of these issues to be resolved. It may depend on how many times I have to take time out of my day to lodge yet another complaint on this forum about your numerous software glitches. In the end, I WILL give up and move on. It's sad because, once upon a time, I grew to love your company and products.
Someday, I'll take another twenty minutes out of my day to lodge a complaint about how unreliable WIFI syncing has become since it was first introduced.

I just tried this with my iPhone 4 and it also didn't work. This is how it failed:
- Select "shared".
- The "pie" start to grow, got to about 1/3, then crashed without
    bringing in the shared content.
- After that, the library appeared in list, but I couldn't select
    it at all anymore.
Then I tried it with my iPad. The pie got to the same point, sat
there for a long time, then completed and worked fine.
I did a hard reset of the phone and tried again, this time it
behaved like the iPad and worked fine.
Not sure whether it was the hard reset or whether sharing with
another device "woke something up", but in any event it works
now and I can't get it to break again.
Note, I only use sharing for movies, since I have Music Match
(which works *great* for me, even on 3G).
Specs:
Sharing: 2.7 GHz iMac i5, OS 10.6.8
Clients: iPhone 4
              4th gen iPad
Everything (including iTunes) patched to the latest.

I would like to print links as regular text i.e. not underlined or in a different font and color.

I have created a page with my resumé, using Dreamweaver CS4 on my iMac (running OS X 10.6.6). You can see the page here: http://www.peterforkes.com/Resume.html
It looks great when it is on the screen, but when I print it I would like the links to not be underlined and also to be displayed in the same font (and color) of the text surrounding it (a link is largely useless on a piece of paper, if it it not showing the URL).
So, I created a stylesheet called "print.css" and have this in it:
a:link {
text-decoration: none;
In my html document (Resume.html) I have this code, at the top:
<link href="_css/Resume.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link href="_css/Print.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" />
Now, things such as the graphics in my document do not print out (this is how I want it) but links seesm to be doing unexpected things for me. As I mentioned, when I print the page I would like them to:
a) not print with an underline (which I would expect the code snippet shown above to do).
b) I would like the link color to be the same as the surrounding text (I have links in several places, such as in <h2>, <h3> and <p>).
c) I would like the link to have the same font and text size as the surrounding text.
Any help is always appreciated.
Peter A. Forkes

You've solved it for a:link but you may print the page with the <a> tag in link or visited state so you need to cover both.
In http://www.peterforkes.com/_css/Print.css
change
a:link {
text-decoration: none;
to
a:link, a:visited {
color: #333;

Calendar so slow & minimal that it is useless

I have always loved Palm and I can prove it because I own virtually every generation of device they have produced (except for the minor interium device upgrades) since the very first Pilot. I'm a hard core Palm evangelist and fenatic. To say that I am disappointed with the Pre does not even begin to sum up my current frustrations (which are many and will follow in additional, appropirately headed posts).
The "synergy" (ie device data porting) issues are the worst right now but after I finally struggle through all of that, the real ongoing issues begin with the fact that I CANNOT USE THE CALENDAR.
1. I cannot ask collegues in meetings to wait 30 - 45 seconds for every SINGLE change of date as we consider a variety of possible times to schedule a meeting. They are already done and have set a time before the first date has come up on the screen of my Pre. I still have to carry my Centro just to function. So now I carry the Pre, the Centro and a 32G Touch in order to meet my mobile office needs. (Why did I stop carrying the laptop?)
2. Who at Palm thought it was a grand idea to eliminate the following calendar functions already long established in their devices:
a) the ability to color-code calendar enteries into groups
b) the ability to see the color-coding on the month view
c) the ability to set an alarm for whatever interval I require (Only someone who NEVER uses the alarms would have designed them as they are now! For power users, they are entirely useless.)
d) the ability to customize the alarm sound (sound and volume) exclusive of all other device sounds
3. An essential feature was unforgivably eliminated when the ability to interface with a computer and full-size keyboard was thrown away. Here's why - when your device screws up (as in ports ALL calendar enteries in 5 hours earlier than is actual) or any of the many, many, MANY other porting problems which arose when moving my 1800+ calendar listings into my Pre, there is no way to fix them except to address each one by hand on the microscopic keyboard. I already had to do this for my contacts list and it took (and I am NOT exaggerating here) 26 HOURS to individually correct each incorrectly ported e-mail address, phone number etc..) Catch a clue guys, especially when porting data is involved, the ability to get in and make adjustments with a real keyboard is invaluable. Shame on your (formerly Apple) hardware guru for not knowing that.
One final note: layering is great (and mildly useful) but I would give it up in a second to have back speed, color-coding and useful alarms. First things first, guys. Did no one there ever read Covey? You have the best hardware on the market and have seated in it a genuinely great OS but have dropped the applications ball in a HUGE way. I know you have JR there (from Apple) and he worships at the foot of hardwre (a field in which he is deservedly regarded as a God) but as Jobs has always known, it ain't nothin' without the software. I NEVER imagined how much my Pre would cause me to admire my Centro - and something is VERY WRONG with that!
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I love my Pre, especially since Palm has fixed many of the issues described in other posts. But I couldn't agree more with bunnygrl60. I wanted a PDA with super internet access and the Synergy, oh and a phone. But the weekest aspect of the Pre is the calendar.
See my post under "Where is Palms loyalty to loyal Palm Users? " and also follow the thread "Palm: What about me?"
Palm, are you listening? Please beef up the calendar next!! PLEASE
Thanks

Help with hp LaserJet 100 color MFP M175nw

Hi all, have run the suggested HP troubleshooting solutions for the below problem but still persists.
When I print from any programme I get yellow smudges along the edge of the print outs at regular intervals. Initially I thought it was yellow toner smudging at the edges somehow and cleaned all the rollers etc. No joy so now think it may be light burn marks on the paper? Out of ideas to resolve the issue. Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks

Hello,
I'm going to keep this short and simple.
We are/were hp partners once, I bought myself a HP Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw at Staples in Belgium (Staples is bankrupt meanwhile - a pity for their employees)
I ordered toners on tonershop.be, these toners are approved, HP was fined for this sort of behaviour as 100% valid replacement.   HP forces me to do a software update, next thing I'm seeing is a big warning that I'm using counterfeit products and that I need to contact HP.   This is the world upside down, HP is violating the European free market.   Not the poor guy that wants to make an extra buck, for an underpaid salary in a sweatshop somewhere.
My printer is ruined (I have +25 years profound technical knowledge, experience,whatever)
But my printer is still under warranty no?   No HP (online tells me it isn't) so back to Staples, fortunately they had a copy of my invoice, so that I can be repaired in warranty but no, I the evil HP partner that sold for multiple hundreds of thousands of euros worth of HP products, I used LEGAL replacement toners. Sorry Mr you have to buy a new printer.
Well I don't.    I'm going to take this whole sage (with the microchips with false information, on the toner cartridges full off very expensive toner powder.   And I'm going to mail it to Neelie Kroes and I really hope that HP get's convicted for market manipulation, price agreements, putting themselves above national legislation and lot's of other misconducts.
And because of management that is only interested in greed and their 25th Villa, Tesla car, Island, it will be the HP employee that pay the price for this sort of arrogance and plain stupidity.
HP: You have my contact details, send me an email.
And then the 'too big too fall' companies annoy you with useless questionnaires about their customer service, they ask themselves why nobody is buying their products and so on.
Anyway, for this type of printer I know the story from A-Z meanwhile, I have kept all evidence, invoices and whatever and once again I was once somebody that made you company what it is today after the HP/Compaq merger.
You board of directors, top management, yes Mrs. Ex CEO from Ebay), that is why people don't buy HP anymore.   High Prices, no service.
I prefer to keep this reaction anonymous, one could imagine why.
But I have my a digital print of this post, and signed it with a digital signature.
Because everything what I mentioned above is how it is.
Stop ruining our planet and the future of my children for your own greedy behaviour.
Mr X.
Once HP Partner blah blah blah
