Colours Don't match up, ghost image

I have a 1515n printer, with less than a 1000 prints,.. just coming up for it's first black cartridge.
Unfortunatley, it has developed an image qaulity fault where the cyn and magenta images do not match up, and get laid down on the paper in different places. So hence a ghosting effect on the final print.
I have searched the web and forums,.. for info but searching for registration and other keys words does not help.
Does anyone know how to fix colour image registration issues on a 1515 type printer.
Many thanks

To close this issue out for folks who have taken the trouble to read the problem statement.
The fix was actually quite simple,.. I merely needed to run the calibration routine,. which had not run for some time,. why it drifted out so far out, I do not know.
But thanks for reading.

Help - canvas doesn't match timeline -- ghost images appear

Hi,
After having no problem in panther and final cut 5.0 I've had to upgrade to tiger (10.4.8) and FCP 5.1.2. When I opened and edited my project, I got a sort of ghost image (a still image from elsewhere in the timeline) appearing in the canvas over where another clip should be. This happened once and I tried everything (deleting and then brining in clean copy of clip) and no dice. The good news is that when I output to QT.mov, everything looks as it should.
But suddenly, I'm having this problelm in many areas of my project, which makes it hard to edit at all. Has anyone else had this problem? I've tried rendering everything, but it doesn't change anything.
Two other clues:
1) at the same time I've had trouble getting VoiceOver to recognize where i am in the timeline so have had to create "In" marker for the project at that spot where I'm doing a new voiceover.
2) For what it is worth, there does seem to be some odd lines (same color as rendered project but as if cut into smaller pieces in the area of the timeline that triggers this).
please help! (and thanks in advance)

Glad to help. I'm glad to see someone else is working in NY on this cold, gray day. One thing I cannot recommend too highly; browse this forum every day. You see a topic that might be useful, read it. Pretty soon, you'll be an expert at troubleshooting fcp.

Colours don't match in photoshop

Hi,
Brand new to Kuler and really like it, EXCEPT...
I found a theme I really liked, downloaded the .ase file, and
used it to build a set of colour squares for reference. That's when
I realised the colours I had didn't match what I'd seen in my
browser. It didn't take too long to work out that this is not at
all surprising because Firefox isn't a colour managed browser.
By assigning different ICC profiles to my to my AdobeRGB
'swatch' file, I can make them match much more closely the colours
as shown in Firefox but this is far too hit and miss for my liking.
So my question to fellow colour luvers is: "Do the rest of
you only use Kuler to create themes for use on the Web and other
non-colour managed places?" If not: "Do you feel like you're just
working in the dark and not having the faintest idea what colours
you're actually creating?"
One answer here would be to use Opera but I tried that and it
just crashes on my Windows XP machine. Is there something I'm
missing here?
For information, my monitor and printers are all as well
calibrated as I can get them... and that's pretty good as it
happens.
I'd be interested in your comments.
Roger.

Safari will do the trick!

Laser colours don't match screen colours on 2605dn

I have a LaserJet 2605dn. I recently replaced all 3 colour toner cartridges (with the exception of the black). When I printed a photo from PS CS3 the colours-especially the skin tones were off.
Before I replaced the cartridges the colour printing was fine.
What has changed the output of the 2605dn since I replaced the cartridges?

IPhoto thumbnails & images don't match

Yesterday when I opened iPhotos a message came up warning that I needed to rebuild my thumbnails. I wasn't worried about this (I have gotten the message before) & clicked OK. Today while adding some photos to iPhoto I noticed thumbnail images don't match the actual images on file. What can I do to restore things so that all matches.

Welcome to the Apple User forums

Note that you posted this question in the iPhoto '08 (version 7.x.x) forum - it is better if you post in the correct forum - iPhoto 6 - http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1116 - as the answers to some questions will be different between the two versions and it is very easy for a user to miss the version listed in your text since they assume that all posts in the iPhoto '08 forum are concerned with iPhoto '08

Have PS Element 12 using it with new MacBook pro. When I edit and save a photo in jpeg format, and try to e-mail it, it has a duplicate but ghost image underneath, and I don't want this second image. How do I get rid of it?

Unwanted ghost image underneath edited file. Need to solve!!! Have not experienced this with my old CS2. Please help.

Hi Panamark,
The problem has been resolved for me. I am a little fuzzy on how it got fixed.
I only have 3G, so I think I went to the library to use wi-fi.
I think I just deleted the stuck apps, and the downloaded them again. You do not have to pay again when you download a previously purchased app.
It is now August, and fortunately I have not had any stuck apps lately.
As you may already know, you cannot download an app over 20 MB via 3G.
I have the Kindle app also. No new updates lately. I only bought one thing using Kindle. It was a guide to iPad that was only $1.99 or so, but it did not really have anything that cannot be found in normal free Apple guide.
I have borrowed an ebook from the library using Overdrive app. You can choose the ebook version from Kindle.
I don't have any weather apps.
Let me know what happened when you get the chance.

My iMac 27'', which I bought two Months ago, has ghost images on it's screen. Apple don't want to replace it. What can I do now?

Hey!
Two months ago I bought the new, thin iMac 27'' with Fusion Drive.
Well, one week ago I recognized that I have ghost images on my screen.
Apple don't want to replace it. They want that I drive to the next 200km away
Apple Store (with this huge iMac) to show an Apple Employee the production error.
The problem is that it is an iMac with special features and I need to wait 5-6 business days.
After that I need to go back to this Apple Store (they won't send it) to bring it home.
AND: THEY DONT WANT TO OFFER AN REPLACEMENT DEVICE!!
I need this mac for working!!! I use it for my business and I have not the time for it!
Is there a solution for this problem? Has anyone of you a similar problem?
I mean: this is not accomodating!! Other companys have a better support for this case!!
Thank you very, very much in advance!!!!!!!
Sincerey Yours
Max

Colors don't match when printing pictures on J4860 all-in-one

When I print pictures, the colors are not true. It doesn't matter what software I use, but usually it's Photoshop CS3. I thought it was my monitor - that I wasn't seeing the true colors in my files. But I've been able to verify that the colors on screen match the subject in the photo. The prints from the HP J4860 do not match the screen images. I currently have new ink, and they are new HP cartridges, not generic or refilled cartridges, but this has been a problem through many ink cartridge replacements.

Hi there.
I don't know if there is much we can do to improve your output. First off, I want confirm you are using an OfficeJet J4680. We don't have a J4860.
Could you post an image that is unsatisfying, and let us know what you dislike? I'm going to involve a color expert here, and he'll look to see if we can do anything.
regards, CF
I work for HP and hope to make your day Sproutastic!

I need to create a ghost image of my G4 iBook (OSX 10.3.9) and replace the OS9 on my G4 tower with the created iBook ghost image. How do you do this?

I need to create a ghost image of my G4 iBook (OSX 10.3.9) and replace OS9 on a G4 tower with the Ghost image. How do you do this? Will my applications still work?
The iBook is running Pather, i have tons of programs i use on it, project files, etc... and my G4 Mac tower is more powerful, faster, and more reliable than the iBook. I basiclly just want to take the entire OS, programs and files... create an image, and drop the image on the G4 Tower so it basically will function just like the iBook. Like a mirror image of everything that is on the iBook. I know that you can create image files in the Disk Utility on Panther, but will that back up the entire OS with settings, programs, files and all? ive never done anything like this before, so i wanted to post this up to see if i would get an answer. In the meantime, im reading "Mac OS X, Help Desk Essentials By Owen Linzmayer" to see if i can find the steps to do this.
Any help would be greatly apprciated. Much thanks!

Can't be done as an exact copy from one Mac to the other. The operating systems are system specific. First make sure your system doesn't need a firmware update to get 10.2 or later on it. You'll need to install 9 on it if it does, direct from a 9 retail CD that is compatible with it *. This disc can't say Upgrade, Dropin, or OEM. To determine compatibility, identify your G4 tower:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3082
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42739
Then look at the OS 9 compatibility:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25517
Then apply the correct update
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
The last Mac OS 9 to come retail is 9.2.1, and that's newer than 9.0.4, 9.0.2, and 9.1.
Your ghost image can be done using cloning software, but then you'll have to use a retail 10.3 installer and 10.3.9 combo update on the G4 tower. Then use the Migration Assistant to import the data from the clone of the iBook. The 10.3 retail disc looks like * and does not say upgrade, dropin, or OEM. The 10.3.9 combo update is here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxcombinedupdate1039.html
The clone to an external hard drive can be done with these instructions*:

My iPhone 5 claims to have 1.81GB(211 photos) of storage taken by "Photo Library". How do I locate and delete these ghost images to free up my storage space?

Hello. I've had my iPhone 5 for just over a year now. I just did a factory reset on it for the first time. When I look at storage usage in my iPhone settings, or when I connect my phone to iTunes, it claims that I have 211 Photos taking up 1.81GB of my storage. I'm very confused why because I've deleted every single image I can find. I deleted Twitter, Instagram, Vine, Facebook, etc., assuming that one of these apps was storing these images somewhere. After doing a full factory reset and iCloud backup(excluding photos), I still have the 1.81GB of photos that I just cannot find. I've already tried to delete them through iTunes, unfortunately to no avail. It specifically states there is 211 photos taking up the space. Can anybody help me find these ghost images before I lose my mind??

Copying files works OK, but not moving. It seems like recently(iOS8?), when you try to delete photos from an iPhone that has been mounted you will get a 'permission denied' error. I haven't found a way around this.
I've resorted do manually deleting using one-by-one selections on the iPhone itself. Dropbox carousel is great for this but I don't use Dropbox yet. They other way is to do an iTunes sync and then delete the synced folder contents but that just feels 'weird'. Maybe there's a good App out there for photo management.

Printing from InDesign and Photoshop - colors don't match

I'm printing the same CMYK image from Photoshop and from InDesign, to a HP desktop color printer. I'm using CS3, all the color settings are identical in both programs, but the printed colors don't match. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
(cross-posted in InDesign forum)

I have had the same problem: an image printed from PS differs from the same image printed from ID. However, I can't very well print as bitmap from ID since the image is part of a spread, including text. I have tried various combinations of settings. I made the PS image to 100% of the ID final size (in the layout). I tried various print dialogue settings (high transparency flattener, medium transparency flattener, color managed, not color managed, CMYK output and leave unchanged ... every combination I could think of). ID does something on printer output. My understanding (at least from CS2) was that ID output to printer uses a PDF format of some sort. I had the idea maybe the ID output did some sort of resampling or re-rendering of the image, but have not prooved that out. I did get some slight improvement in the ID output when the image in the ID layout was put in at 100% (whereas it had been 88% (the original image being bigger than the ID layout size). What I am getting now in CS3 is a clean looking photo in PS, but in ID, skin tones look somewhat blotchy and a bit more saturated. The PS image is better than ID, and while ID is not bad, why is it not as clean as PS? I can definitely see the difference between PS and ID output and know it will show on press, too. Any suggestions?

Songs and album covers don't match up?

On my 4s, when I enabled Icloud and downloaded my music library something got out of sync. Now, most songs don't match up to the album cover etc. displayed on my screen. I have tried deleting and downloading again and the problem remains. Any suggestions?

Album cover images depend on whether you downloaded the album/song off the pre-installed iTunes store on the iPod or you downloaded an mp3 from your computer into iTunes then synced it to the device, the only solution in this case without consulting apple help directly would be to try purchasing a song or album from the on-device iTunes store and seeing if you get a cover image then, otherwise I'd seek help from apple themselves as it may be a software issue and you could possibly get your device looked at or replaced under your 1 year warrantee. That is if your still covered.
hope this helps, olly.

Cannot export slow motion w/o ghost images

Hello everyone,
The home movies and video works in my computer look exactly as I want them to and they export to QuickTime perfectly in "DV Full Quality." My problem is that the movies export both to the camera and to the DVD burner with awful ghost imagery in the slow motion clips. With my earlier version of iMovie, the slow motion rendered just fine to the camera, so I could at least create VHS tapes to share with family and friends. Now the movies export with the jittery ghost images. Color and sound are fine, it's just the slow motion that creates a problem. I'm so frustrated cuz I upgraded to solve the problem and I feel like my works are "trapped" in my computer--I just want to send videos and DVDs to family! IF I upgrade (again) to a new computer (G5?) or the latest Toast, will this solve the problem? Is there anything that can be done? Please know that I am a novice in computer language and need to be spoken to like a small, small child... Sorry for the length of this complaint and THANK YOU for any help!
Katiefish1

Hello Bengt!
Well, as it turns out, I don't have iDVD (or whatever it is I need to activate iDVD in iMovie...), but, as I was trying to find it, up popped the prompt I was looking for and had tried to find in the iMovie "help" thingie -- "you have some slow motion clips that need to be rendered, ..." and my problems are now solved!
So, I couldn't follow your advice exactly, but, because I tried, the solution presented itself unexpectedly.
Thank you, thank you! I don't have to buy a new computer (today)

Installation using Norton Ghost Image?

Could I possibly use a Norton Ghost Image of Windows XP to install BootCamp, and then upgrade from XP to Vista?
I purchased a manufactured desktop PC several years ago and they provided a Norton Ghost Image. The power supply short circuited about a year ago, and I used a Vista notebook in the interim. I currently have an iMac, but gaming options are not at all optimal with the Mac, so I decided BootCamp was the way to go instead of upgrading the broken PC or building a new one from scratch. Before the desktop shorted out, I had upgraded from XP to Vista, then reverted back to XP using the Norton Ghost image because of some compatibility issues (it was a rather weird PC... ran on two single core Xeon processors).
So that's my story... does anyone have an answer?

I am not sure if you can actually load that image on a boot camp partition however assume for a second that you will be able to load the disk on the partition. The image was made for a PC that you had bought and therefore an OEM version of Windows XP was installed. You will have validation issues. The image will also have drivers to run the pc that you had and will most certainly cause immediate issues with the Apple components.
I know your goal is to immediately upgrade to VISTA however I seriously doubt that you can get your XP installed. Why don't you simply install VISTA instead? You already have the VISTA disk so I asked.

Colors in Photoshop and InDesign don't match when printed

Output colors in InDesign and Photoshop (CS4) don't match. How can I calibrate? (I can choose a Pantone color for a Photoshop element that I've used in an inDesign document, import it into InDesign, and when I print, the colors don't match)
There must be a way to calibrate the colors among the CS4 software.....
(Mac OS 10.6.4 on 27" iMac)

That's what 'synchronised' means... as has been mentioned. Looks like you need to read a few colour management threads.
If you are picking color from the Pantone Libraries, you can easily get mismatches even with synchronized color settings. In ID if you leave Ink Manager>Use Lab Vales unchecked, the Pantone Solid libraries are defined with CMYK values, while in Photoshop the solid swatches are always defined as Lab values. So, if you pick a color like Pantone Solid Reflex Blue in ID, and then open a Lab, RGB, or CMYK file in PS and fill with Reflex Blue from the same library, you'll never get the default ID Reflex Blue build of 100|73|0|2 whether you are sync'd or not.
If you are actually outputting spot colors—the PS color is Duotone or a channel—then Use Lab should always be checked in ID and Color Settings would have no effect because ID doesn't have spot color management.
If you restrict yourself to the Pantone Process libraries, then you can work in CMYK mode in PS and get matches. In that case color settings might come into play if you embedded a CMYK profile in PS that conflicted with your ID doc's CMYK profile, but even in that case it's the assigned profiles that matter not the current color settings.
