Colour shifted in iPad vs MacPro/MacBook Pro 17

I had created CMYK file in Adobe Illustrator CS6 for business card/logo, etc. I placed the Ai file into InDesign CS6 business card document (two pages).
Then output the InDesign business card document as high quality print PDF. Just out of my curious, I opened the CMYK print file on my iPad 2, and noticed quickly that the colour shifted sightly on iPad 2 as opposed on MacBook Pro 17 unibody and Mac Pro - 12 core.
I suspect that it has a lot to do with CMYK color management setting on InDesign's preflight export to PDF?
Just tell me what exactly did I do wrong? Am I assuming the color shift is because of CMYK is not interpreted properly on iPad, only RGB, correct?
Thanks for some help and feedback. And please confirm this if I am assume wrong or right. And tell me why I think wrong. Or if I am right, or both ways? So I can troubleshoot in the right approach.
Look forward to hear some perspective. Have a good one.
Best, Brian

Rob,
Once again, I appreciate your insight perspective on more technical side of specific ICC profile workflow and PDF outputing workflow. I have jotted that down on my Moleskine workbook notes.
As for calibration app for iPad or iPhone or similar smartphone and tablet products, I agree with you on what you said. I don't think it is feasible thing, because Peter, yourself and I know that not all iPhone or iPad customers are colour management savvy as we are. On this regard, it is beyond what we can control over.
Again, thanks again for thoughtful perspective and discussion. Keep on coming up with more perspective and tips, I look forward to get most out of this particular more-technical workflow.
In the business card project itself has no photo file, just basic graphic design/logo - three colours.
As for digital photographic workflow, I certainly do know about ProPhotoRGB.icc profile as I use it religiously then covert to more appropriate output for web or print, etc. Of course, each specialized photo paper has the manufacturer's specific print profile assigned for EACH product. That is the whole other different story.
Anyway, thanks again for all you do...
Brian

  • I seem to have at least two, and maybe four, iCloud accounts, across my iPhone, my iPad and my MacBook Pro. Can I combine them into one iCloud account?

    I seem to have at least two, and maybe four, iCloud accounts, across my iPhone, my iPad and my MacBook Pro. Can I combine them into one iCloud account? I have been able to log into what appears to be three of the four iCloud accounts I have. Two of them seem to be remarkably similar, and one appears to be only for my MacBook.I think I know which one my iPhone is backing up to, as I successfully restored from a back-up last week. The fourth iCloud account I can't access via password or security questions. Any advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Everything is updated!!  iPhone, iPad, iTunes and MacBook Pro...  All I am trying to do is drag content from my iTunes Library to the devices.  iTunes gets stuck EVERY single time!  What usually triggers the Non-Sense is when I am adding a 2nd file!

    Everything is updated!!  iPhone, iPad, iTunes and MacBook Pro...  All I am trying to do is drag content from my iTunes Library to the devices.  iTunes gets stuck EVERY single time!  What usually triggers the Non-Sense is when I am adding a 2nd file!
    Why does iTunes SUCK??
    1) Many items greyed out in the menu bar, for well over 2 years, maybe more!
    2) I Can't drag more than one piece of content from your iTunes library to any device (iPhone, iPad)
    If you do it gets stuck for HOURS and HOURS in "Preparing To Update" and the little activity circle never completes, ever!!
    I used to be able to drag over 1000 tunes, movies, etc. go have breakfast come back and it would all be on my device!!
    Can't do it anymore, one song at a time, maybe an album at a time, or one movie, and that is it!!
    If you do a 2nd item the other items stop loading and never continue!!
    This is so BAD, I don't understand how they don't have this fixed yet!!
    Please tell me I am not the only one!!
    ...and If I am tell me how to fix it!
    Very appreciated,

  • If my iphone, ipad, MAC and macbook pro are all linked, and then I upgrade only my phone to iOS 7.0, does that have an effect on my calendar, etc.  It doesn't seem to be showing the same data it was before the update.  Lost lot of info from calendar.

    If my iphone, ipad, MAC and macbook pro are all linked, and then I upgrade only my ipone to IOS 7.0, does that have an effect on the linking to my other MAC products.  It seems my calendar has lost a lot of information since the upgrade.

    If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there. 
    searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
    The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
    As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.
    Regards.

  • How can i transfer my music files from iPad 2 to MacBook Pro?

    hello,
    I got my mp3 files from PC and transfer to iPad 2. it works good.
    And I want to transfer this mp3 files from iPad to MacBook Pro.
    I don't know how to do it and it seems like I should 'buy some tranfer program from other website'.
    Should it word that way? or iTunes program can't deal this issue?
    I have changed some music file information (such as Album, Artist, etc) of mp3 files in iPad from iTune in MacBook. Of course, the iPad was connected to the MacBook. However after I disconnected the iPad from the Mac, those changes were not shown in the iPad (edited album name, artist name...). When I connect the iPad to the Mac again, I can see the changes in iTune in the Mac.
    Another issue.
    Does Anybody know how to set calendar from Japanese calendar to Gregorian calendar in iPad 2? When I setup the iPad first time, I might choose wrong calendar but I can't change/see the calendar option from iPad settings...
    I have been used PC for 20 years but to transfer myself to Apple, it's not easy....
    Issue 1 - music file transfer from iPad 2 to MacBook Pro
    Issue 2 - music file info udate in iPad 2 through MacBook and it doen's implied after disconnected.
    Issue 3 - Change calendar from Japanese to Gregorian in iPad 2
    Please advise,
    Have a great day!!
    Brandon

    A free app that can deal with music files is Songbird.
    There are two paid apps that can transfer just about any type of file; TouchCopy and PhoneView

  • Syncing Issues between Ipad 2 and MacBook Pro

    When we sync our ipad with our macbook pro we get over 100 errors for songs that won't sync to the ipad.  These are all songs we have purchased on itunes or downloaded from cd's.  Anyone encounter this before and have a suggestion on how to fix this?
    Thanks

    The underlying issue here is that you have chosen to use POP3 rather than IMAP mail accounts. Only IMAP mailboxes are 'synchronized' by default: it is virtually impossible to synchronize POP3 mailbox content.
    For a discussion of POP3, IMAP and mail synchronization options, take a look at the Mail & Address Book - Tiger forum located here.

  • Connect Ipad retina with macbook pro OS X 10.5.8

    I just bought a new Ipad with retina display and I'm trying to connect to my MacBook pro, but it says I cannot because the itunes has to be version 10.7 (mine is 10.6) so I check for version 10.7 but the specs say this is only for OS X 10.6.8 and I have 10.5.8!!!
    So is the only way to use my iPad with my MacBook Pro by upgrading the MacBook Pro software? How come no one says anything about this at the Apple Store??
    Are there other ways to do this?
    Sukey from RI

    You need to upgrade your OS. It's your responsibility to verify if your equipment meets the system requirements, not the Apple Store.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.

  • My ipad 2 and macbook pro don't sync

    I can't get my Ipad 2 and Macbook Pro to sync.  I have the latest version of ITunes and am running Mountain Lion on the Mac.  I have rebooted both.

    over wifi, i have tried using the cable but it does't sync that way either.  it shows that it is syncing but nothing changes and it syncs faster than it normally would. I am adding and deleting some movies from it and there is no change.

    As Bob says, any iMap service can do this. GMail can, iCLoud mail can too.
    Both of these can be used with Mail on any device.
