Color profiles don't seem to work since 2.1 update

I have a Powerbook G4 1.67 (last of the motorola chips) running 10.4.11.
I have used aperture for a year and love it... When I upgraded to aperture 2.1 and security update at the end of March my print profiles for my Canon IP5200 seemed to stop working and my once wonderful prints where no longer true to my on screen image. I have not been able to verify if it is aperture's problem or something I am doing wrong. I have not seen any recent printing/color managements issues in this discussion group and wonder if anyone else is having the same problem.
I wonder if upgrading to Mac OS 10.5 would fix the problem. Thanks for any help.

Okay Rich, I hope I can help.
The main difference with the Pro9000 and the other Canon printers I use (iP8500, 6700d) is that to get the best prints I turn off "Black Point Compensation" when printing from Aperture. With it on, the colors are slightly washed out, but with it off they're spot on.
So, say I'm printing a 4 x 6 on Canon's Photo Paper Plus Glossy paper, my settings would be as follows:
_Aperture Print Dialogue Box_
Printer: Canon Pro9000 (I have the latest driver installed which was posted 4/10/2008 & the 10.1 CUPS driver)
Paper Size: 4 x 6 Borderless
Orientation: I don't use "Best Fit", I specify landscape or portrait
ColorSync Profile: with this paper I use "Canon Pro9000 SP1"
Black Point Compensation: Off (again, this is turned on in Photoshop & when I print to my other Canon printers. The Pro9000 handles the blacks without issue, so turn it off.)
Gamma: 1.00 (same on iP8500, 1.05 with 6700d)
_Print Settings_
Quality & Media: Photo Paper Plus Glossy, Detailed Setting, Slider all the way to the right (Fine)
Color Options: Brightness is the only option available, I leave it as "Normal"
Borderless Printing: Amount of Extension all the way to the left at "Min"
With those settings, and a good calibration on my main display, I'm getting great, accurate prints. I just went through the process today of profiling my system using an Eye-One Display 2, and things are looking even better than before. If you head over to http://www.gballard.net/nca.html you can get a great test image near the bottom of the page to calibrate with (a good site on color mangement, although I get better results with the ColorSync workflow in Photoshop).
I hope that helps with your Pro9000 issues Rich, best of luck!

  • Bluetooth seems like working since last week and at the same time I can't manage the Wi-Fi

    Bluetooth seems like working since last week and at the same time I can't manage the Wi-Fi. I have already restored.

    This entire thing is a hair over four months old, I don't think it should be acting up this much. Plus, this problem happens only once out of every 40 or 50 times I start this thing up. It's very infrequent, but it's there, and it just bothers me, I guess.
    That said, I would try reinstalling, but I wouldn't be able to tell if it'd worked unless the problem never cropped up again in a long, long time. Sadly I also don't have access to my OSX discs at the moment (I'm out of the country).

  • How do I get all my fonts to work. I upgraded the OS and the old fonts don't seem to work.

    How do I get all my fonts to work. I upgraded the OS and the old fonts don't seem to work.

    If the fonts are installed on the OS they should be there already. If they were only available to CS5 they are probably in the fonts folder in the Adobe section of the Common files (location will be OS dependent), or they may be in ID's own fonts folder.

  • I've just changed from a PC to a mac and have a large number of downloaded WMA music files (not i-tunes purchases) which I just can't get into my i-tunes library. File converters don't seem to work either. Any ideas?

    I've just changed from a PC to a mac and have a large number of downloaded WMA music files which I can't get into i-tunes. When the library was in Windows, i-tunes would convert the files automatically, but this doesn't happen now. I've downloaded a couple of file converters, but these don't seem to work either. Any ideas?

    iTunes for Windows (but not iTunes for Mac) can import and convert unprotected WMA tracks. If the tracks are protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management) then it will not accept them.
    One option would be to install iTunes on your PC, do the conversion, and then transfer the converted tracks from iTunes on your PC to iTunes on your Mac.

  • Drag and Drop not working since last software update

    Drag and Drop not working since last software update - this is occuring on Outlook for the mac and I just tried moving  an icon on the doc and the same thing occured.  YOu can drag but the items will not drop.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

    i found out my prob!
    here is what you do.
    go to the "system preferences" on your dock.
    click "software updates".
    click "installed software"
    if it shows something about a recent update about "EFI UPDATE, FIRMWARE, THUNDERBOLT" or anything like that, exit out of it.
    go to mail.
    click "mail" at the top.
    click "preferences...".
    find the account you are having trouble with, once you do, make sure its highlighted, then click the "-" at the bottom of the window (this will only effect that mail account, it will not effect your ical weather or not its synced thought that email account)
    hit the "+" (right next to the "-") and add your accout back!
    its something with that update that effected mail, i hope this works out for you, if not reply back

    On Vista Home premium, uninstalling and reinstalling buth iTunes and Apple Applicatioon Support did NOT work for me.
    What did work for me was manually copyting CoreVideo.dll from the Apple Application Support folder into my iTunes folders (actually, to both of them - under Program Files and Program Files (x86)) as per advice posted in a Windows forum, found after an hour or more of frustration and failure.
    This appears to be a bug in the 10.1 installation scriptimng - what's going on?

  • The Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down keyboard short cuts don't seem to work anymore. Can we get this back?

    Until the latest update (I'm guessing v 34.x), the search bar's icon would show you the currently selected default search engine. I understand that Google is no longer paying to be the default... That I was expecting and isn't my issue....
    I used to be able to use Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down to change the default search engine (maybe default isn't the right term... but it changed what was used when I hit <Enter> or <Alt+Enter>). Now, there's no support for this as far as I can tell.
    This shortcut page (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly) still references it, but it doesn't seem to work.
    As a sort of side note: Where typically, middle clicking on anything opens stuff up in a new tab, that behavior does not seem to carry over when clicking one of the non-default options in the search context menu. I've always appreciated that Firefox was very consistent about respecting the middle click as "do this in a new tab" what seems EVERYWHERE.

    If you start typing a search term then a drop-down list opens.
    You can use the Tab key to select other search engines that show on the bottom bar.
    If you want to restore the previously used standalone window to manage search engines then you can toggle this pref to false with a middle-click on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    *<b>about:config</b> page: <b>browser.search.showOneOffButtons</b> = false
    You need to close and restart Firefox to make this work properly.

  • Hi..I have bose companion 2 speakers and they don't seem to work with my macbook pro anymore..

  • Updates to Photoshop CC don't seem to work.

    I've installed Photoshop CC, Lightroom CC and Bridge CC, and they seem to work properly.
    Several times a day, the update dialogue appears, announcing that updates are available (bug fixes). Several times I've clicked the blue Update buttons, and they appear to show the updates being installed (the bar progresses to 100% and the green check mark appears.) But then the next day the same dialogue appears, announcing updates available.
    I can't tell whether the updates failed to install, despite the indicators showing they did. Or if the updates did install, maybe the update manager can't figure that out.
    Thanks greatly for any help you can give me.

    My current Bridge CC version is 6.0.1.6
    Current Extension Manager CC version is 7.1.1.32
    Current Photoshop CC version is 14.1.2 x 64
    Current Camera Raw CC version is 8.3.0.141
    I updated all the above again today. The version numbers were identical, ie unchanged, before and after the "update."
    I see that others seem to be experiencing the same problem.

  • Recent Call List not working since 4.2 update

    I've already posted this in the 3G forum but the couple of other threads relating to the issue don't seem 3G-specific so figured I'd post here too in case anyone else has had the same problem.
    Since updating to 4.2 my Recent call list no longer works.
    Favorites, Contacts, Keypad and Voicemail buttons all respond as expected, but the Recents button just quits the Phone and returns me to the App menu/home page.
    Have done a full Reset and Restore to no avail.
    Really missing Missed Calls etc, kinda a fundamental feature on a mobile phone...
    Anyone else having this problem?

    Same problem with me also - as soon as I updated to latest software. I've been on the phone to apple support and they don't have any answers - yet...

  • ITouch will not work since it last updated

    I have a 4th Gen. iTouch. After I updated the software it powered off and has refused to work since. My computer will not acknowledge it. When I hit the home button and the power button the apple comes on and the loading circle appears, but it stays that way until the battery dies. I've tried to put it in recovery mode and my computer will not find it (I've done this on several computers). Please help!

    I hope someone finds an answer to this problem. I just upgraded to 2.0 a couple of days ago. It took me three full tries at the install to get it to work in the first place and once it was installed it seemed like great software. However, now my battery is in the critical zone and I have been charging it now for 10 hours and it is still in the less the 10% red zone. I have turned mail apps off in case it was constantly searching for data. Then I turned off WIFI to see if that would help. If I can't charge my iTouch then the 2.0 upgrade effectively killed it for me. This must be a bug since I have read other people having the same problem after upgrading their software.
