Colour (possibly profile) issues with certain objects

Hi,
I'm trying to put together my folio but have run into a frustrating issue.
As the file is a web PDF, it's obviously RGB (sRGB to be specific). All of my swatches have RGB values, all of my links have embedded Adobe RGB (1998) or sRGB profiles.
The main issue is, a link on one page (PNG-24) shows correct colours, while on another it seems to be bluer in shadow tones. I found that what's causing it is any of my other objects that have blending modes activated:
Two different rectangles with RGB swatches, Multiply, 62% Transparency
Two identical JPG textures. One on background layer and one a top layer which is set to Color Burn
Once all of these are removed, the effected object returns to its correct tones, but if even one of the above objects returns anywhere to the spread, the colour goes off again. Similarly, if any of these objects are taken to another page, other swatches used (say a solid rectangle) are effected.
It's driving me insane and I've tried everything I know. Any ideas? I have a feeling this may have something to do with blending modes, but I just don't understand why it would.

Yep, that was it
I knew it had to be something along those lines, but I honestly expected that sort of thing to be within Color Settings; maybe I should have just looked two menu items up
Thanks for the help. Seems it's getting harder and harder to find what you're looking for on Google these days when all you have is vague keywords... Yay SEO (sarcasm)

Delete background Apps from memory and then Reset.
To Delete background Apps, double click Home button, in the bar at bottom, hold down on an App Icon until the minus sign appears, tap all the minus signs, until all background Apps are cleared from memory. Then Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart itself, ignor the 'slide to power off' let the iPhone restart itself. Usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons.

"Possible precedence issue with control flow operator"

Hi guys
I have following Problem:
Yesterday I made a distribution update from debian wheezy to debian jessie.
Since then I got a problem with a plugin which I'm using for Icinga a monitoring system.
When I run it, I got the error that there is an "Undefined subroutine".
I read on google that I can fix it, with reinstalling the vsphere SDK, but the installation stuck at "CPAN is downloading and installing pre-requisite Perl module "SOAP::Lite"".
I can skip this step with Ctrl+C and at the end it says "This installer has successfully installed...".
But when I run the Plugin I get the error message "Possible precedence issue with control flow operator at /usr/share/perl/5.20/VMware/VICommon.pm line 2147." and the whole plugin stucks.
I tried the following step which I found in this forum and the error message doesn't appear, but the plugin still stucks...
Re: VMware-vSphere-Perl-SDK-5.5.0-1384587 broken with perl 5.20
I have also Perl 5.20.2...
Can you guys help me?
Vinzenz

Ok I could fix it...
I changed the line 2147 to
return (defined $user_agent->cookie_jar and
$user_agent->cookie_jar->as_string ne '');
And this time I waited for a long time and I get a error message that there is a problem with SOAP.
The solution was to downgrade Net-HTTP and libwww-perl with following commands:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
o conf urllist push http://backpan.perl.org
install GAAS/Net-HTTP-6.03.tar.gz
install GAAS/libwww-perl-6.03-tar.gz
The second Command loads older releases to the urllist.
Thx for your help and I hope I could help others with the same problem.

Weblogic 10.3.0 issues with remote object calls.

All:
I was wondering if anyone has experienced any issues with Weblogic 10.3.0 dropping initial remote object calls over AMF Secure Channel. Here are the issues we are experiencing.
1. FLEX applications fail consistently on the first remote object call made across the AMF Secure Channel. Resulting in the request not returning from the application server; which has had varying affects on the different applications including missing data, application freeze and general degrading of the user experience.
2. FLEX applications require a browser/application refresh once the application has been inactive for a certain period of time. In our experiences the behavior occurs after 30 minutes of inactivity.
I've deployed this same code to Weblogic 10.3.3 and the behaviors go away. Are there any patches to 10.3.0 that might take care of this issue that we are not aware of?
Thanks for you help,
Mike

Hello,
I found the problem. But I needed change the target of all my datasources until discover that one of my datasource didn´t answer and no errors was trigged.
My server was waiting this datasource, and not get started.

Performance issue with Business Objects Java JRC API in CRXI R2 version

A report is developed using java JRC API in CR XI release 2. When I generate the report in the designer, it took less than 5 seconds to display the results in crystal report viewer inside the designer. But in the QA environment, when I generate the same report from the application, it takes almost 1 to 1.5 minutes to display the same results in PDF. I also noticed that if the dataset contains bigger volume of data, then the reports are taking even longer almost 15 to 20 minutes.
While generating the report from the application, I noticed that most of time is taken during the execution of the com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.ReportExportControl Object method as shown in following line of code
exportControl.processHttpRequest(request, response, context, null)
We thought the delay in exporting the report to PDF might be the layout of the report and data conversion to PDF for such a bigger volume of data.
Then we investigated the issue and experimented quickly to generate the same report with same result set data from the application using XML, XSL and converted the output XSL-FO to PDF using Apache FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) implementation. The time taken to export the report to PDF is less than 6 seconds. By doing this experiment, it is proved that the issue is not with conversion of data to PDF but it is the performance problem with Business Objects Java JRC API in CR XI R2.
In this regard, I searched for the above issue in the SAP community Network Forums -> Crystal Reports and Xcelsius -> Java Development -> Crystal Reports. But I did not find any answers or solutions for this kind of issue in the forums.
Any suggestion, hint in this matter is very much appreciated.

Ted, The setReportAppServer problem is resolved. Now I could able to generate the report with hardcoded values in the SQLs in just 6 seconds where as the same report was generated in CRXI R2 in 1 minute 15 seconds as mentioned in the earlier message.
But, our exisiting application passes the parameter values to the SQLs embedded in the report. For some reason the parameters are not being passed to the report and the report displays only the labels without data.
As per the crj 12 samples codes, the code is written as shown below.
1. Created ReportClient Document
2. SetReportAppServer
3. Open the report
4. Getting DatabaseController and switching the database connection at runtime
5. Then setting the parameters as detailed below
ParameteFields parameterFieldController = reportClientDoc.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController();
parameterFieldController.setCurrentValue("", "paramname",paramvalue);
parameterFieldController.setCurrentValue("", "paramname",paramavalue);
byteArrayInputStream = (ByteArrayInputStream)reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
6. Streaming the report to the browser
Why the parematers are not being passed to the report? Do I need to follow the order of setting these parameters? Did I miss any line of code for setting Params using crj 12?
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

Possible GPU Issues With Camera Raw 6.6

Over the past day on my Windows 7 x64 workstation I've done some updates. Specifically:
The Adobe updater brought in Camera Raw 6.6, replacing 6.5.
I updated the to the ATI Catalyst 11.12 display driver version from previous version 11.11.
I allowed Windows Update to apply the dozen or so changes that were pending.
I was just doing some OpenGL testing with Photoshop CS5 12.0.4 x64 and I noticed that under some conditions I saw Photoshop drop out of OpenGL acceleration. Specifically, when I opened a Canon 5D Mark II image through Camera Raw I saw subsequent operations stop using OpenGL acceleration even though the checkmark remained in the [ ] Enable OpenGL Drawing box in Edit - Preferences - Performance.
What I did to determine whether OpenGL acceleration was enabled was this: Select the Zoom Tool, then click and hold the left mouse button on the image. When OpenGL is enabled, I see a smooth increase in zoom. When it goes disabled, I see only a jump in zoom level after letting up the mouse button. Also, the [ ] Scrubby Zoom box gets grayed out. As I mentioned, even in this condition, a check of Edit - Preferences - Performance still shows OpenGL enabled.
Just as a control, I saved the converted file as a PSD, and every time I opened THAT file (with a fresh copy of PS CS5 running) and did the same operations I could not reproduce the failure. The difference being I did not run Camera Raw.
Since I wasn't specifically looking for issues with Camera Raw, I am not sure that the problem occurred every time I did run Camera Raw. I do know that when I open images from my own camera (40D; I do not own a 5D Mark II) that the problem doesn't seem to occur. Notably I always open my image from Camera Raw to the largest possible pixel size - 6144 x 4096, as I did with the 5D Mark II image, so it's not an obvious size difference that's leading to the issue. Given other comments of late, I'm wondering if it could be a specific issue with conversions of files from 5D Mark II.
Nor am I sure whether any of the above updates caused it - it might done this before; I don't regularly convert 5D Mark II images. I DO think I would have noticed Photoshop reverting to GDI operation before, since I just noticed it pretty easily, but I'm not completely sure of that either. I do use OpenGL-specific features (such as right-click brush sizing) pretty often.
I'm trying now to find a set of steps with which to reliably reproduce the problem now, and will advise.
-Noel

Figures. Now I can't reproduce the problem at all, even after an hour of testing. It probably had nothing to do with Camera Raw.
I wonder if there are latent GPU status indicators and config values stored by Photoshop based on its specific environment that might not be right for the first run (or first few runs) after a display driver update. Hm....

Color Profile issues with CS5

I´ve been having some issues with the color profiles since I´ve installed the CS5 on my laptop (Windows 7 ultimate).
To describe what I mean please see the images:
Every time I open Photoshop or Illustrator this message apppears:
so I hit ok, but I´m not sure if this affect the artworks that will be printed, I use the CMYK Mode but the colors does not match very well.
Hope you can help me
Thanks in advance,
Diana.

You have some serious reading up on color management to do... I strongly suggest you sift through the Illustrator/InDesign/Photoshop forums and the web in general. Short version: Using RGB profiles makes no sense whatsoever if you are working in CMYK but in reverse working in CMYK does not make sense if you are only printing at home/ displaying graphics on your own computer. Anyway, this is an infinitely complex topic, so realyl, do some reading and then ask more specific questions in the program-centric forums...

Possible DNS issue with AirPort Express basestation?

Hi all -
Up until recently my Airport Express has been working great. This past weekend I started noticing that website browsing became slow, and some websites would not come up at all (e.g. popular sites like wordpress.org).
Otherwise my internet connection works fine (email works, browsing for the most part is normal for all computers on the network, pc and mac).
I read that this could be a possible DNS issue. I unplugged the AE basestation and plugged my Powerbook directly into my cable modem and was able to get to all websites that I couldn't get to while using the AE. That, and browsing was a heck of a lot faster (it seemed).
Can anyone help me out and point me to a specific setting on the AE that I can toggle, correct, whatever, to solve this (possible) DNS issue?
Thanks!
Jeff

Dear Henry, Thanks for your reply, and we are sorry for having intruded upon the wrong thread with our troubles. Perhaps you could point us to the most pertinent thread. Further pushing credulity Might you assist us further?... We have checked every floor in the building and no new equip has been added, though I can't speculate on the 'hood at large. We added a Time Capsule to the mix hoping that might bring back some stability and speed, but results aren't very promising so far. perhaps you might point us to a resource for professional help, or web sites that may help us define and implement something beyond the ad hoc system we have currently. We have read through the Apple docs regarding Designing Networks, and though informative they don't necessarily explain the nuances / consequences of different configurations, for instance, that WDS will adversely affect net speed. Thanks in advance for your input (should you wish to assist). If you are so inclined I can provide the snap shot of our list of hardware. And again apologies if we are in the wrong place.

Left shift issue with certain keys.

Hello,
From today, I have noticed an issue when using the right shift button,
It seems to only work with certain keys, the ones I have noticed do not work are ? and :
these works ok when using Left Shift
Right shift works ok for other keys.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, I dont have one with me at present,
I find it strange, as I would normally agree with you but...
The shift key works ok when used with other buttons indicating the shift key is ok.
the ? and the : button work ok when no shift modifyer is present or when the shift key on the left hand side is used.
proving both bottons work just not when used together

Possibly why issues with Apple TV & iTunes...

Over the past 24 hours I have had terrible trouble with my Apple TV & iTunes setup - I've never had any issues until now so you can imagine I hit these forums looking for an answer pretty much right away.
I've got an Apple TV 2.0 (160gb) & Mac Mini (Intel Core Duo) running 10.5.2 connected over wifi using an Airport Extreme Base Station.
I've got iTunes 7.6.2 and didn't have a problem when running 7.6.0...
The AEBS is NOT setup for 802.11n as my Mac Mini only supports 802.11g. I have therefore got it setup for g-only (so no issues with wide channels etc on 802.11n).
I started using playlists last week to sync tv shows and movies (my kids always watch the same movies and tv shows over and over so it is the best way to keep these shows on the apple TV and add new content as and when I like).
Everything was working just fine until I added a couple of tv shows yesterday - then the apple TV decided to not play well with iTunes....or rather iTunes kept dropping the Apple TV and would not see it again until restarting iTunes.
Through a tortuous process of elimination I think I may have found the solution to my problem...
Here is what I have done so far :
1 - Reset my Apple TV back to factory defaults (v1.1) - iTunes still drops the connection to the Apple TV when syncing
Note: At this point I should have realised it's an iTunes problem and not the Apple TV, however I ploughed on...
2 - Upgraded Apple TV to 2.0 - still no joy with syncing the tv/movies playlists
3 - Sync'd just photos and music to the Apple TV overnight - no problem
4 - Sync'd one movie (no playlist) this morning - no problem
5 - Sync'd one set of kids TV shows (no playlist) - no problem
I checked the console at steps 1 & 2 above and found iTunes complaining about "can't read data length" when it drops the Apple TV.
So to cut this long story short - the problems I am seeing are likely a corrupt file or a corrupt playlist.
YMMV of course!
Kind regards,
Alex.

IDVD (possibly iLife) issues with Snow Leopard

So I've been trying to create a wedding dvd from a video that I recorded for them. I've done this before (on Leopard) and everything worked fine. Since upgrading to Snow Leopard (including a fresh install) this doesn't seem to work.
Basically iDVD wouldn't launch completely. It would let me select 'create a new project' and then load the themes but the project screen wouldn't open. When I'd go to the file menu and open/close etc the main screen would pop up asking me to cancel, save or don't save the current project. Regardless of which option I chose, the program would freeze and I would have to force quit.
This was on top of issues with iMovie in which I couldn't select the transitions options without iMovie crashing.
Now having searched the internet high and low for solutions, it seems quite a lot of people are having issues with this and I think I know why. Those people having issues seem to be the ones who have iLife on their Tiger setup cd's that came with their macbook/desktop.
Now just so you know I have done all the selected solutions such as removing the preference file from library, repairing disk permissions, reinstalling iLife, reinstalling iDVD without the rest of the bundled software. I even went to the extremes of formatting my hard drive and installing Snow Leopard from scratch and this didn't work. So I thought I'd try upgrading to Snow Leopard from Leopard, again the same issue arose.
It got to the stage where I actually ended up going back to Tiger (10.4) and finishing the dvd and burning it. Now with iDVD and iMovie working fine I decided to upgrade back to Snow Leopard, and low and behold, iDVD isn't working.
I really hope Apple are aware of the issue because it seems to be an problem with people installing the bundled software which came with their macbook/desktop on a version of Leopard/Snow Leopard and it not working.
I'm going to take my macbook into the store soon/and or call Apple Care and request a new install disk of iLife to try and eliminate the issues because when I'm creating a movie, I don't expect to have to roll back to 2 previous OSX version's before my software works.
If anyone has any suggestions, please fire them my way.

While 7.0.4 may work fine with your version of 10.6.2, it doesn't work for others. You'll notice quite a few posts in this section of users with the same error.
The only issue I can assume, as mentioned in the original post, is users who are installing iLife from the original installation CD's provided when I bought my Macbook (which came preinstalled with Tiger). The iLife software comes bundled on two cd's, which I and other users install from. Hence it's the only thing the users who are installing and having issues with have in common.
I could understand if it was only me having issues and if these issues resolved themselves from a fresh, clean install after a reformat, but that's not the case.
I'll call Apple Care tomorrow and see what they think.

After update performance issue with certain PCs

Over the past 2 months there was an update to the Forefront Client that caused a strange issue on some of our machines. Basically when we update device drivers MsMpEng.exe goes nuts and uses at least 50% to 98% of the CPU for the entire duration of
the driver install/update.
The immediate result is that some of the larger device driver installs (like video drivers) actually time out because of this. Using procmon I traced the cause of the delay. It looks like MsMpEng is scanning the setupapi.dev.log file over and over
and over..hundreds..maybe thousands of times. We noticed that if we turned off logging for the device driver udpate/install and app install logging that this issue disappears. We've had this level of logging for years and only in the past 2 months
or so has this issue started to pop up. The setupapi.dev.log file is rather large and so I can see why it's causing a delay if it has to scan the file over and over and over.
We aren't sure what changed. We used an older image that had an older version of the Forefront client installed and we made sure it didn't update to a newer client version. That version of forefront had no issue with device drivers timing out. After
updating the client we now have the issue. A change was made recently and we believe the forefront client is behaving differently.
Any ideas about what could cause this?
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for your question.
How did you perform the update of Forefront Client Security, from windows update or manually? In addition, what are the editions of the Forefront Client Security now and before
you updated?
Best regards,
Susie

New MBP issues with certain games

I have a new post Feb 08 MBP. I have bought the Diablo and Starcraft Battle Chests, Fallout, Fallout 2, and Knights and Merchants. I have issues with all of them and these issues cannot be duplicated by owners of pre Feb 08 MBPs.
The Diablo and Starcraft issue has been recognized by Blizzard and they are working with Apple:
http://www.battle.net/forums/thread.aspx?FN=support&T=535843&P=1
Reports to MacPlay about Knights and Merchants, Fallout and Fallout 2 have gone unanswered.
Can any other new MBP owners confirm the Fallout or K&M issue?
With Fallout I and II I have obvious graphical issues with the palette. K&M loads but I only get sounds, no window at all.
If you have issues with Diablo II and Starcraft please post on the battle.net site above. Thanks!

Hello all,
This seems to be a problem! I wonder if it will be similar with the new iMacs that are coming out with this new processor!
So yeah, when I load up Fallout 2 on my new Macbook Pro I get the weird graphics palette and on only one half of the screen. Seems a little phishy to me! I don't even know if there is a patch that could help! It SHOULD be solved my Rosetta or something . . . but if the new Pentyn architecture is faulty, it would have to be a recall, not a patch!
Makes me a little nervous to tell you the truth!

Possible Security issue with .zip files

I found a potential issue with expanding .zip files. In the cases I've seen, the .zip files were created on Windows using Winzip. After copying the files to my OS X system, I double-clicked the file to expand the files and folders. (In this case the zip files was a Ruby on Rails web application.) In looking at the files in the terminal, all the files had wide open permission - 777 - all users had full access to all files!
I had to go through and reset the permissions (755 for folders, 644 for files), and had to reset the execute permission on the Ruby script files.
I'm going to test some more with more zip files, but this could be a potentially huge problem.
Also, I noticed that the files had the "extended attribute" of com.apple.quarantine set on each file - which I assume is being set as a function of being downloaded via Safari from my webmail (Gmail) account. The .zip file had this attribute set, and when expanded it propagated to each file and folder.

The files don't have any security on them from windows - windows doesn't know anything about unix permissions.
I've compressed other files and folders on Windows and decompressed them in Tiger without a problem. I would think, at a minimum, the files would inherit the permissions of the parent folder I expanded them into.

Fan and Temperature Issues with certain apps

Hi there
I have what seems to be an issue with the cooling on my 2011 Mac Mini where when running some apps the cooling fams for the CPU seem not to kick in.
To give an example I do a lot of online gaming and when playing LoTRO on my Mini when the CPU temp gets to around 78-80c mark the CPU fan ramps up to keep the CPU cool which I guess is normal however yesterday I was doing some audio recording / editing in Garageband and noticed the CPU temp was at 93c but yet the fans hadn't kicked in.
I did a bit of research and installed SMCFanControl to monitor what the CPU fan was doing. Again using LoTRO when the CPU got to around 80c the fans ramped up to around 4800rpm and the temperature lowered yet with Garageband even with the CPU at 91c the fan was only spinning at 1800rpm. I know 90c is still below the threshold of safe operation for the Core i5 2415M CPU (which is 100c) but not by much. This is a real concern for me the hotter the CPU runs the shorter its life will be. It is unfortunate that SMCFanControl is unable to directly control the CPU Fan in the 2011 Mac Mini
Can anyone out there can shed any light on why this is happening?
Jonty

Thank you everybody for your sound advice - Normally John Hammer1 I would agree with you, if OSX can do a task then let it do it and not use 3rd party software, but however in this case I don't think OSX was doing a very good job at cooling the system. To use an analogy you wouldn't drive your car with the temperature gauge constantly near the red line as it would damage your engine. This is how my MM was running when editing (of which I do quite a lot) and having a computer constantly running near its thermal limits isn't doing it any good.
I feel (and have always felt) that my Mac Mini has been lacking in cooling and that whilst the MM is a pretty little computer its performance has always been hampered by its lack of cooling. I'd rather have a bit more noise from the fan and have a more efficient computer.
I have installed Fan Control 1.2 and so far it is doing its stuff ok. Like den.thed I'm a bit old school, I usually keep my Macs for around 4-5 years and I want this one to last.
Again thanks everyone for your advice.
Jonty
