Composite prints screened - even black!

When printing in CS3 (Intel Mac) with composite gray settings to my ImageSetter, all items are screened, including 100% black items. In CS2, this does not happen.
I need to make film positive proofs for clients. They obviously do not want the additional cost for a separate positive for each color, but rather want all colors on one piece of film. In CS2, I just print "composite gray" and all elements print together as expected. I also could alias all the spot colors to black to get solids in the film. Elements that were not spots would be screened which is OK. Now, with CS3, ALL elements are screened. Whether 100% black, a spot color aliased to black, or non-spot colors.
I have had both programs opened side-by-side to ensure all the settings are the same (preferences, color management, etc...)
The problem occurs with all files(CS, CS2, CS3) and all element types (tif, eps, pdf, text, strokes, etc..) within the files.
I am so tired of having to export CS3 files to Interchange and then print from CS2.

Set your Appearance of Black>Printing/Exporting preference to Output All Blacks as Rich Black. You will have to alias spot colors to Black if you want them to print solid otherwise they are simply being converted to grayscale.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

How do i fix a black print screen after downloading adobe reader?

I downloaded acrobat and reader late last week on my mac. I've noticed when I go to print a pdf file, the preview screen is black and when i actually print, it's black. How do i fix this please?

Quit Safari
Go to Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
Look for "AdobePDFViewer.plugin" and "AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin"
"Trash" them both. You may need to enter your admin password.
Empty the trash.
Relaunch Safari and open the PDF.
It should be OK.

My iPad dosen't open, my screen is black even if I use the open/close buttun??what can I do

My iPad won't open, my screen is black even if I use the open/close reset botton???

Assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take up to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset (not sure whether this is what you meant by a reset) ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I imported photos from an old iPhoto (2001) to photo library and can now see them as thumbnails but not when I click on them. The screen is black cannot see or print either. Is there any way to salvage those old photos? I now use iLife09. OS 10.6

Did you import the old iPhoto library into the new one? That's not what you want to do because you will import all of the original, modified and thumbnail files as if they were original files. Lots of duplicates and useless small photos.
Do you have a backup copy of the library that you imported into to? If you do then bring it in and then use iPhoto Library Manager to merge the two libraries into a new, 3rd library.
If you don't then you'll have to try to fix the current one and then cull out the duplicates and small useless photos as follows: make a temporary, duplicate copy of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library /Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If this doesn't fix the problem you'll have to start over from scratch and create a new library from the files inside the Originals folder of your current library. But first you should cull out the small photos that would be the thumbnails from the 2001 library.
Move the Originals folder to the Desktop, open and do a search for Kind=photo, File size is less than 10 KB. That should find all of the thumbnail files which you can then drag to the Trash. You might have to make that less than 50 KB. Then Import the remaining photos into a new iPhoto library.

Firefox freezes the computer for about 20-30 seconds (not even Alt+Tab works), the screen blinks black and then it shows the desired page. Does that several times at the beginning, then sort of stabilizes.

Firefox freezes the computer for about 20-30 seconds (not even Alt+Tab works), the screen blinks black and then it shows the desired page. Does that several times at the beginning, then sort of stabilizes.
This happens even if I simply hover the mouse over bookmarks, not even opening a page.
And waiting for this to happen some times or closing and re-opening seems to make it work ok again.
I've already disabled almost all add-ons (I'm using only one for Flash and NoScript right now), reinstalled Firefox (8.0.1), restoring only the bookmarks from an older version.

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

My touchscreen blacks out while on a call so I can't multitask. If I am on a call and a new call comes in, I can't see who is calling or even think of answering because the screen is blacked out.

Thank you so very much! My husband is in Afghanistan and calls at different times. If I am on a call and can't answer him it could be days before I hear from him again. I never thought to just restart my phone! Duh...this is my first smartphone so I am learning. All day people were calling while I was on the phone but I couldn't answer. Thank GOD none of the calls were my husband because it would break my heart if I missed his call. Thank you again and GOD bless you! Ashley Combahee

My 3rd generation ipad even though my battery is at 100 % the screen goes black after sitting for more than 15 mins. The only way to get it to come is by resetting the ipad. Is there a fix for this. It all started after the last two updates.

Try a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

IPAD Screen Stays Black even after reset.

Hello
I have a case similar to the one posted by darKnghtV on Jun 24, 2012 10:12 AM related to screen stays Black.
after I have stopped using the device for 3 days, I came back and the screen came back on. I reset the device to factory setting and it has been working fine for two days.
how can I confirm if the issue is a hardware or software?
if the device is defective, how can I exhaust the screen to show the issue again so I can take it to the service center?
Regards

I have done this few times.
however I had to use screen shot, view the image from my PC to have the unit reset to factory setting. even after that screen wouldn’t start.
when I took it in the car and it was a hot day, I reach the work shop and the unit was really worm, screen came back on and it did not go black again for the past three days.
what is puzzling me, was it fixed after the reset and it is a software issue, or is it a hardware ?

Shogun 2 will load but hang there at the black screen even before the producers videos appear.

Shogun 2 will load but hang there at the black screen even before the producers videos appear. Problem never occur in other games.

Help!

Qwerter, welcome to the forum.
I suggest that you download and install any patches for Shogun 2. This is the first thing that I do when I install a new game. The developers are under a lot of pressure to get the games released. So, there are going to be problems that need to be patched.

Screen remains blacks even after waking up from Sleep mode

Hi,
I've had my Macbook Pro for over a year now and it hasn't given me any problems until recently. The screen would remain black when I open up the laptop to wake it up from sleep mode. There would be no response even when I press random keys. When I close the laptop again, the white light at the bottom right corner lights on (when it's supposed to "breathe" while sleeping). The light goes out when I open up the laptop. The only thing I could do is to restart the computer.
What is the problem? Are there any ways to rectify this?

I am going to add my problem to this as I believe it fits and may add to the conversation.
I have a MacBook Pro, am using Parallels, and have an issue waking it up from sleep.
Circumstances:
I close the lid and walk away from the device in my office. When I return, (over night or an hour later) I open the lid, and if nothing happens swipe the touchpad or press a key, the power light changes from pulsating to steady. then in less than 15 seconds it goes back to pusating. The display never energizes, only remain black.
I usually try opening and closing several times, and occaisionally that will work. Other times, I hold the power key until I hear the drive halt, then turn it on. The grey screen will display, then blue, then just before it gets to the log in, the screen goes black (not energized) and the light pulsates.
I have tried the PRAM reset and Safe Mode starts with no luck.
*Now the really wierd thing.* I decieded to contact Apple support on line and pay for help (yes that is weird in an of itself for me). As I began the process it came to the part for me to enter my serial number. With the lid open, I turned the MacBook on its side to try to read the number and the screen energized and the password unlock prompt was waiting for me to enter the password.
Observations
I had read where the light sensor could be blocked by dirt or the light in the room was too dim, but I clean the screen and there is plenty of light. Dales Post is the first that I have seen Parallels and the Sudden Motion Sensor. That makes some sense to me because of what happened when I turned it on its side. I have verified that it happens regardless of using Parallels. as teh last time I did it I had closed out of all my VMs and I believe exited Parallels.
I am going to try the deleting the power preferences file and will report back.
