Color wrong when printing to Canon i9950 from CS5 apps and Acrobat, Win7 x64

When printing from InDesign CS5 on Win 7 x64 to Canon i9950 using the Canon ICM profiles (MP1, PR1, PR2, SP1) the colour output is completely wrong!
I disable the printer driver in the print prefs (set to "manual") and under "color management" choose "Let InDesign decide..." (no other option) for "color handling", and choose one of the above profiles for "printer profile", as appropriate to the paper in the printer, and the colours are totally out of whack.
If I just set the output "printer profile" to "Adobe RGB (1998)" the output is much better, but of course it still isn't quite correct, or properly set for the individual substrates, which the Canon ICMs are supposed to do.
Interestingly, when setting output to the Canon profiles, it makes no difference whether the printer manages colour (auto) or not (manual). Also, strangely, these profiles were working fine with CS4, before installing CS5, but now they are not working in CS4 either!
So now "colour management" is a joke thanks to CS5.

You might check with Canon to see if they've prepared any updated printer drivers you can download and install.
Scout around this forum, a number of folks have reported certain Epson models with similar issues. Feedback from Adobe was that they've switched to newer printer interfaces under the covers, and not all printer drivers work properly with those interfaces. In one case at least a new printer had to be purchased to fix the problem.

Print issues when printing a muse page from internet explorer and opera

When I try to print a page on my muse site in internet explorer or opera it goes a little crazy. Everything is huge and thrown all over the place. When printing the same pages in firefox or safari it is fine. Any help?

I'm also running into this issue, and I'm hoping someone can answer.

Red Color Cast when printing with Canon Pixma Pro 9000

My printer is giving me a horrible red color cast after the latest software update. The color cast can also be seen in Preview and in the print window. No changes to drivers have been made. Printer worked fine before the update.
Has anyone else found this problem and offered a solution?

You may find it helpful.
Thanks, but if you look in the archives of the Apple ColorSync Users List, you'll find thousands of posts from his Mac dating back to the beginning of the List.
The principle is that you configure your device colour spaces to the largest gamut of which they are capable, calibrate them to a stable condition, characterise that condition in a measured test chart, and build ICC device profiles for those characterisations in your ICC profiling package of choice.
You then capture and correct colour with correct colour previews, resulting in normalised exposures in an ideal CIE colour space. With you normalised exposures, you convert into output condition 1, output condition 2, output condition n which is what repurposing is about.
But you do no apply a gamma change on top of the colour managed rendering. That is incorrect by definition. You apply your gamma change as part of the colour correction in order to get your normalised exposure.
If you imagine this in a prepress process, then you can forget the concept of determinate rendering which is the bedrock of the ICC architecture. If you as photographer do a gamma correction on top of your presentation print or proof print, then you can claim that you have a presentation print, but you cannot contractually claim that you have a proof print as your proof print is a colour correction on top of the colour management system. If Apple Aperture allows the user access to colour correction on top of colour management, then that is a bug in the application. Sorry ...

HP Photosmart 7200 Colors are Wrong When Printing on Photo Paper

I'm running Windows 7 and am having a problem when printing on photo paper. The colors are off; mainly green. The colors are fine when printing on plain paper. I have tried printing from my computer as well as straight from the media card. Same result. I am also using HP Photo Premium glossy paper. Print cartridges are brand new and are loaded correctly.
Any solutions or troubleshooting tips I can try?

Color shift when printing

We have a Xerox workcenter 7655 at work and since I upgraded to Snow Leopard I get bad color shifts when printing. It's mostly too much magenta. I converted a cmyk file to a high quality pdf and the color was accurate when printing from a Windows machine but the light blue was badly shifted to lavender from my Mac. I tried different cmyk profiles when creating the pdf and printed the native file out of InDesign with the same results.
The print I get from the Windows machine has the same colors as what I see on my Mac's monitor. I do mostly web design now and have been out of the print end for some time. Until I moved to Snow Leopard, I didn't have this problem.
Can I get some ideas on how I can address this?
thanks

You answered your own question: CS5. There have been a slew of reports of workflows spun upside down when upgrading to CS5. It may require updating your system software and/or Adobe applications, along with any printer driver updates that may be lurking out there somewhere. The twist to your situation is ( and is very common ) that everything was working before and now it does not. Or there is a certain print disorder of some sort. Very troubling. I wish I had a smoking gun answer for you, but I don't. It sounds like you have a very viable workflow in place that worked before and damn well should perform for you now. I'd stick with what works and dump what doesn't ( if you can ).

Color conflict when printing text boxes layered with images

Thank you in advance for any insight on this question. I've got a text box grouped with an image in a Pages document. The text box is layered in front of an object and is transparent (no fill color in the text box). The object however, is filled with a color. When printing the document, the image comes out in two shades of blue even though the text box is transparent. Thoughts?

Want to add that if you uncheck the Retain Slide Quality Settings, you'll have to keep the High setting.
Another way to change slide quality is before publishing, and in that case I prefer Optimized to High (which is not possible when overriding the Slide Quality on publishing, there you only have the choice between Low and High).
Still I'm puzzled because the simple TEB normally do not cause that kind of quality issue, have seen it happening with shapes (because they have transparent pixels) and images, but with TEB's? Wondering

Error when printing a PDF direct from SAP archive

Hi together,
I try to print a PDF direct from SAP archive and I got the error ""C:\Program files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\reader\AcroRd.exe" /p /h" not found. In the internet I found several topics which describe this way to print a PDF without open the Acrobat Reader.
The customizing for document management (Local application) seems o.k. If I remove in the registry the parameters /h /p for print, Acrobat Reader will open and show the document if I use the print button in SAP.
Have anybody an idea what the reason is?
Thank you.
Regards
Thomas

The rundll32 error seems to have disappeared. Until this morning I had both this error and the rundll32. All other types of docs open fine. This one will open if saved to the desktop first, but not from Outlook.

Why is when I try to download from the App Store, it says "The application cannot be downloaded." I do have an ID account and my software has been updated.

Hello there, I'm new to the Apple world, and I'm still learning my way around.
Why is when I try to download from the App Store, it says "The application cannot be downloaded."
It doesn't ask me for payment or anything. When I click on download, about 10 seconds later, that message pops up and nothing is downloaded onto my laptop. I can download other stuff onto my laptop for e.g. Microsoft Word and other various programs such as Google Chrome from the internet. However, I just cannot download from App Store. Any suggestions on how I can download apps?

There is nothing wrong with my iTunes, is more of the App store that I am concerned about. And I've tried the "Authorise this computer" yes it does download when using iTunes, but no luck with App Store. And, yes I am logged onto iTunes when doing purchases.
I find this really fustrating because the App store works fine on my ipod but once it comes to my macbook, it does not download. A few seconds later after I click on an app to download, the pop up message notifies me that the purchase cannot be downloaded.
Anyways, thanks for your suggestion.

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only. However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is alr

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
What we found from out testing:
- The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
- The file can be closed and Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
- Also, until the Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file.
Example Scenario:
- User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
- Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
- User 1 saves his file and closes it - but Dreamweaver is still open.
- User 2 also saves his file and leaves Dreamweaver open.
- The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
- If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
- Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
Other information:
- Files are opened directly from the server
- Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
- Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
- The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
- The users are usually working on the files all day
- It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
Anyone know if this is a known issue?
Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
Thanks

Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

On my iPad Mini, when I delete an email from the inbox (and it goes into Trash), it immediately deletes that email from the server (ATT/Yahoo). I've called support for both ATT and Apple and can't find a way to have the emails remain on the server.
My husband and I share an email address and if he misses a day checking email on his notebook, he doesn't receive the items that I have sent to Trash on my iPad Mini.
Appreciate suggestions.
[The curious thing is, if I "move" the deleted emails from Trash on my iPad Mini into the Inbox, I can go to my notebook, open my online email and they are back in my ATT/Yahoo Inbox.]

Do I need to pay again when I download past purchases from the app store?

Do I need to pay again when I download past purchases from the app store?

Bare with me...I need to explain the situation first.
I purchased an external harddrive and with the help of phone support, I moved some(most) of my itunes stuff to that hard drive. However, when I sync my iphone, it occasionally says something like..."did not sync song because it could not be found".
When I typed in the finder thing at the top right corner of my screen (spotlight?), I searched for itunes media. I found one file but it doesn't show me it's location. So I started looking (I'm still new to this) but I think I found 2 itunes media folders...1 on my imac harddrive and the other in my external harddrive.
After reading some of the online posts regarding downloads, I discovered that it is possible to redownload something you purchased before and NOT be billed again. I know that when I download an app in my iphone and then delete it, if I go to download it again, it tells me i already downloaded it and can download it again for free...so no problems there.
However, my interest is to greatly reduce the amount of "stuff" I have in my external harddrive as well as my internal harddrive. But before going into my external harddrive and deleting all 8 seasons of 24...which is something like 250gigs, I wanted to test the theory. So I looked for something cheap that I downloaded. I would then delete that and then go into the itunes store to redownload it again.
One thing I also want to mention, I read that there should be a purchased tab in my itunes store. Either I don't have it, or don't know where to look. One other thing I read is that it might be not available to me based on where I live. I live in Toronto, Ontario.
Back to what I did. I deleted an episode of Wallace and Gromit (kids show). Then went in itunes to download the same episode. When I checked my account information...it shows that I was just charged for that download...AGAIN! Now granted it was only $2.99...apparently this doesn't need to be the case.
So...going back to the 2 itunes media folders. I checked my system preferences and saw that itunes was set to save downloads here.../users/"my name"/music/itunes/itunesmedia. This folder is on my imac. However, the Wallace and Gromit video was on my external. So when I deleted it, I removed it from my external drive.
So here's what I have done so far...I went into the system preferences and proceeded to change the path to my external harddrive.
Now...before I go and delete something else...am I doing things correctly?
Also...what should the path be in itunes? I suspect it should be to my imac so that anything I download, downloads successfully to my internal harddrive...and then I drag and drop into my external...
I also want to mention that I have a time capsule as well. So basically...I want to keep my imac and time capsule free of as much media as possible...My computer and timecapsule each have 1 TB and I nearly maxed them out...I take alot of home videos with an HD camera...I had no idea how much that would add up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

When I try opening iPhoto on my iMac (OSX 10.9.2) it says I must first download the update; when I try doing so from the App store, it says there are no updates available. Stuck in a classis Catch-22 - any ideas how I might solve the problem?

Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

How do I get a picture to look like the audi example picture (2nd one) when you download motion 5 from the app store?

Im looking to remake this picture that is an example when you download motion 5 from the app store. Apple gives you 5 example pictures to kind of show off what the program can do and I want to replicate the 2nd one. I like how the picture is divided into multiple different sized boxes and I dont know the presets needed to make another picture like that. Any tips are welcome. Thanks.

I just bought lightroom 5. I had lightroom 3. Now when I export my photos from lightroom 5 and upload them into my photoshop elements program to edit the photo files are at 100% zoom percentage. When I upload photos from my old lightroom 3 program they come into photoshop at 14% zoom percentage which is what I want them to come in at so I can zoom them in to detail the skin. What might have changed settings wise between the 2 programs, I cannot figure it out.
