Computer color isn't right after pluggnig printer in.

I took my computer to get a virus out and it worked fine.
I had to reinstall my printer but plugged the printer into the computer before I loaded the sofeware.
Now the color on the computer is wrong...acts as if there is no red.....plus it won't let me install the sotware for the printer.
I have tried system restore but that didn't work.
Is there anything I can do?

Hi,
The printer more likely will not cause a such.
Try removing and re-plugging the display cable from both ends, I assume you might wrongly loosed the display cable while connnecting the printer.
Run the installation again and only connect the printer once the installation as you to, if ther is still no response click on Start, then right click on My Computer and select Manage.
From the left pane click on Device Manager.
Double click to expend the Universal Serial Bus Controller categoty.
Locate the USB Composite Device, right click it and select Uninstall
Note: if there are several you may remove them, those will be redetected automatically.
Next right click on Universal Serial Bus Controller categoty and select "Scan for hardware changes".
The software installation should now proceed further.
Hope that helps,
Shlomi

If you develop an image in lightroom then export to your hard drive after finishing, is it the right resolution to print out?

Im learning how to use it, and i love using it, but if i develop then export the image which i have imported as a fine jpeg from my camera, will it be the right resolution to print out as a photograph or do i have to do anything else to the image. thanks

When you are configuring your export options in the export dialogue, you have the option to specify the size in pixels. If you are going to print to a certain dimension, first of all I suggest that you crop the image to that aspect ratio. Then, export an image that will be big enough to support that print size. If the image has enough pixels the PPI setting is meaningless (actually, it's meaningless anyway as far as printing is concerned). For example, assume you want to order or print an image that is 16 and 20 inches at 240 PPI. Here are the steps I would follow.
1. Crop the image using the 4 x 5 - 8 x 10 aspect ratio setting.
2. In the export options specify in the image sizing options, choose long edge 4800 pixels (20"x240 PPI).
3. You can change the PPI setting to 240 if you want, it isn't going to matter.
4. Set any other printing options as required, then export the image.

My photos are not printing right with adobe manages color but works when i use printer manages color. never had any issues untill a week ago.

my photos are not printing right with adobe manages color but works when i use printer manages color. never had any issues untill a week ago.

We use CS6, yes we calibrate using x-rite. I have always had adobe manage colors when printing. This problem just occurred, all my settings are the same as they have been for years. The only thing we did lately is do an update to CS6. We thought it might be our printer but when we use the printer manages color it works fine, The problem with adobe manages color is it is not blending the light highlights like on top of the cheeks with the colors around the cheeks and its putting a faint red between the two it just does not have a smooth transition. I printed a photo that I had printed 4 months ago with no issue, and this time it had the issue that I am dealing with now. Somehow the photo shop manages color is not getting the right info to my printer.

Trying to get icloud, installed snow leopard, now it says I need OSX, but my processor isn't right for it. Is this possible? Do I need to buy a nw computer? will I loose all my mobile me storage?

You will lose the entire contents of your iDisk whether or not you migrate to MobileMe as there is no equivalent in iCloud and MobileMe will be terminated at the end of June. You will need to download any data which you don't have on your Mac already.
Snow Leopard is not compliant with iCloud and most of the facilities will not work. You can migrate from MobileMe to iCloud at http://me.com/move even with Snow Leopard: when asked to confirm that your Mac is running Lion just lie and say 'yes'. Of course you won't be able to access iCloud directly from your Mac.
If you have MobileMe mail set up to collect mail from external POP accounts you should cancel this before migrating, or you may find it still working in iCloud (where it isn't supposed to) and with no way of stopping it.
This will be the situation with Snow Leopard when you have migrated:
Your email, calendars, and 'Find my iPhone' will be migrated to iCloud. Contacts and Bookmarks cannot be migrated from a Snow Leopard Mac.
Your iDisk, together with website hosting and Gallery, will continue to work as before until next June.
Syncing of Dashboard Widgets, Dock Items and Keychains between Macs, and Mail Accounts, Mail Rules, System Preferences, Signatures & Smart Mailboxes between Macs & iOS devices, will cease altogether.
You will be able to access email and calendars on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided your browser is reasonably up-to-date.
You will not be able to sync contacts or bookmarks from a pre-Lion Mac.
You will be able to enter the server settings for email manually in the Mail application and access your email.
You will not be able to sync your calendars directly.
Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point.
There appears to be no method of syncing contacts (though Address Book on a Mac can be synced with Google or Yahoo address books - I don't know how reliable this is).
There are a couple of third-party solutions which may be of interest.
BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion. A single user licence (two machines allowed) is $49.99.
Soho Organizer can sync Calendars and Contacts with iCloud on Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion. A single user licence (multiple machines allowed) is $99.99.

My computer freezes right after startup

My MacBook Pro 13 inch is always freezing right after logging in. And it has the spinning ball and just freezes there and I can not do anything but to wait but nothing happens. I am writing this on a iPad because my Mac is not working. I really need help! MacBook Pro 13 inch OSX 10.8.4.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I apologise in advance if this is not the right forum, but I need to do a reformat on this computer. My question is, after deactivation of CC, PS, LR and Bridge do I need to uninstall them as well?

If you are going to reformat the hard drive, wiping out all data on the computer, there is no need to uninstall. Deactivation is enough.

TS1389 I down loaded two songs one right after another and the second one keeps telling me that my computer is not authorized to play it

I downloaded two songs right after each other and the second one keeps telling me that my computer is not authorized to play it (I'm the only user). When I put in the information it told me that my computer is already authorized to play the song and a second computer is too. WHY?

That suggests the track is damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

Computer locks up right after boot due to driver confl

<font face="comic sans ms,sans-serif">When I have to shut down my compter or do a restart it locks up right after it boots up. The only way I can get it going is to go into safe mode, disable the Audigy 2 sound card, restart then after the boot up re-enable the sound card. Everything works fine then until I have to do another restart. I don't know which other program the conflict is with. I am running Windows xp home edition. Anybody got any ideas. How can I find out what the sound card is conflicting with?

You can try the following:
- uninstall the Audigy 2 and use Driver Cleaner or Driversweeper (you can find them at [url="http://www.guru3d.com/">Guru3D[/url]) in Windows Safe mode to get rid of older drivers/Windows registers that get stuck in the Window System which can cause problems for your pc;
- reinstall the driver for the Audigy 2;
- if you have onboard sound, disable the onboard sound via the bios of your motherboard;
Good luck!?

HT204135 This is my first iMac. How come everything I print is in black and white? I have an HP Photosmart and it prints in color just fine except when I print using the iMac.

Unlike my other computers where I can change the printer setup ( color, black and white, paper type etc) I don't see that option on the iMac. Is it called somethng else? I want to retire my old computer but can't until I can print in color.

Thank you, I did that, after I click "show details" I see where I can change the paper size, reverse print etc. but I'm not seeing an option to swtich to color. On my HP and IBM PC's I can click on printer properties and change the print quality, paper type ( e.g.photo), grayscale and such. Do you by chance know if this is not an available feature on iMacs or maybe my printer isn't iMac friendly?

HP 2550 Color Laser Jet stops after first page

I've uninstalled the old drivers and reinstalled new ones for Snow Leopard, but my 2550 crashes after printing page 1 of a document from any of several programs. The red alert light comes on, as if there were a paper jam (there isn't). I have to open and close the front door and wait while it goes through its startup routine. Then it may print page 2 only to crash again, or it may simply crash without printing anything. Is anybody else experiencing anything like this with HP printers?
I have to say, I totally regret installing Snow Leopard. My Adobe CS3 programs crash regularly (Premiere is almost unusable). QuickTime Player X and Player 7 (you have to have two now) no longer recognize the TOD files from my JVC camcorder. The best available fix for that is iVerio for Leopard ($75), which is quite unstable on Snow Leopard. I recognize that Adobe is being greedy, JVC is being stupid and HP is living in some Windows-centric dreamworld, but this is ridiculous. I love Apple, but they can't just point fingers at everybody else this time. In my experience, Snow Leopard is a disaster.

Thanks, Barry. Sorry for the rant, but this has been a highly frustrating upgrade -- a first with Apple for me. Part of my frustration is that I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers in several times, in several different ways, but the problem persists. I'm not trying to be argumentative or accusatory about this, and your larger point is well taken. But several of the most important things I use my computer for have been disabled by this upgrade, and I had no idea that was coming. The only issue I'm looking for help with right now is printing. My printer is supposed to be supported, but I can't make it work in several days of trying. I'm just looking for a workaround. (Rant alert: Why does HP make fifty or more different printers that all do basically same thing but require unique drivers?) I guess maybe I have to repost my question under an assumed name when I calm down. But thanks for responding, Barry.

Awful Color on Epson 2200 after Snow Leopard Upgrade

I'm an experience photographer and printer who has done extensive printing on the Epson 2200 under previous versions of the OS using CS4. As a beta tester for Snow Leopard I had used it extensively on another machine before the release, so I did not hesitate to upgrade my photography production computer as soon as it was available this past weekend.
The problem I now have is that print colors are all wrong - very greenish (bluish?), which is typically a symptom that nothing is managing the printing out of PS. (Reddish/purplish prints are often a symptom that color is being managed by both PS and the printer's own software.) I have changed nothing else in my workflow or printing process besides doing the upgrade - I have a solid workflow process that works consistently and accurately, or should I say it DID work so until the upgrade.
I have installed the updated 2200 drivers from the Epson web site. I have removed and re-added the printer in the preferences panel. Still no joy.
Help? Advice? Anything to try that I haven't thought of yet?
Thanks in advance,
Dan

Thanks for offering a possible solution - but it doesn't work if one prints in the recommended way out of PS CS4 and lower. The normal and correct way to print is (as the person following your post mentioned) to select "Photoshop Manages Colors" by selecting this option in the first print dialog box, click the "Print" button at the bottom left to bring up the next "Print" dialog window, use the "Color Management" tab and select "No Color Adjustment."
The awful print is just as it was before the process you described, I'm afraid.
Are you perhaps choosing "No Color Management" in the first print window and then "Color Controls" from the "Color Management" dialog in the second window? This turns color control over to the printer, which is not the best or most accurate way to print. With this option I do, as I mentioned earlier, get a print that is "less awful" than the horribly bad dark green/blue and unusable version when I print the correct way - but the colors are not right. The effect may be subtle if you are not very critical about printer output, but I'm comparing a print made a few days before the upgrade to the best I can get using this second-best method and the print is noticeably bluer and darker - not consistent with the print output I need.
The Gutenberg option sounds interesting, but I have yet to hear of anyone getting a simple and consistent method of precisely duplicating the results using the normal "Photoshop manages colors" approach. And with high quality printing, consistent and predictable results are absolutely critical.
One person reported online that he had contacted Epson, whose representative told him to "get a new printer - do you expect us to support a printer that is six years old!?" Very bad attitude and awfully poor customer support if true. If I ask Epson today how long their new printers will last, do you think they'll tell me "no more than six years after the printer was first introduced?" And don't forget that most of the prints were not purchased on the day of introduction "six years ago," but were purchased perhaps several years after that. If this continues to play out this way, one would be very wise to reconsider purchasing any Epson printer but the very newest model right after introduction - and it might be a better idea to compare support with other manufacturers of excellent photo printers. HP photo printers are every bit as good as Epson and Canon has been doing an increasingly fine job recently.
It also doesn't help that the Epson site is completely silent on the subject of this and many other printers relative to Snow Leopard. I would not like it, but if they really don't intend to support the 2200 and other printers, where is the list of those that they no longer support? (Apple issues such a list from time to time.)

HP Color LaserJet Enterprise flow My Multifunction Printer series

I have a new HP Color LaserJet Enterprise flow M880 Multifunction, the delivery paper after the fuser, it is no making the right job and I got a jamming code, I replaced the fuser but still making the same issue.

Hey @Germanimagenet ,
I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as your HP Printer is a commercial model.
My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.
Click here to view the Printing and Digital Imaging. When the page opens you will see the option to 'Log in' or 'Register Now' on the right. The commercial forums are separate from the consumer boards, thus you will need to register if you don't already have a commercial account.
You may find the HP Color LaserJet Enterprise flow M880 Multifunction Printer series page helpful while you wait for somebody in the commercial Forum to respond to your inquiry.
Best of luck.
I worked for HP.
