Contacted bt about IP Profile problem...
Hi, i've a few months ago my ip profile dropped from around 60mb down to around 29mb. I left it a few weeks to see if it would go back up on it's own but it didn't so i used the help desk web form to report the problem and got a generic response back (case number below) advising disabling anti virus etc.. however my ip profile magically increased to 38mb which made me think that tech support had unstuck my profile and it would begin increasing. That was 2 weeks ago and it hasn't changed since still 38mb, my problem is i'm paying for infinity 2 and was getting infinity 2 speeds now i may as well downgrade to infinty 1 as it looks like 38mb is now my limit. What are my options? Would a forum mod be able to help me?
Thanks

Thank you for your e-mail dated 20th Oct 2012. It has been logged under the e-mail reference number VOL012-69393288609.
I know about DLM and i appreciate what your saying however 4 months seems a long time to test line stability and there didn't seem to be any reason for the original drop plus it seems a bit coincidental that the only time my line had any increase was the day i received a reply from tech support. If my line is no longer stable enough to support higher than 40mb i need to know so i can downgrade to infinity 1 which is cheaper.

hi - firefox is my favorite browser - but since getting a new pc (with WIndows 8.1 (which I hate getting used to)... my email at verizon.net doesn't have color or the usual "buttons" - to do actions - such as move to the next page... there is also no option to print an email --- which I had on my old pc... so not sure if I have a browser setting wrong - verizon says i should contact you and tell you I have a compatibility issue...

I have a hard time understanding why I can't contact support about THEIR problem. I plugged my iPhone into my pc. iTunes came up. It said there was an update available for the phone. I accepted that. Clicked on the "download only" because I didn't have the time to install it at that point. It downloaded but didn't stop. It continued to the 'backing up your iPhone' segment then froze. I waited at least an hour with no change. Finally I unplugged my phone..iTunes wasn't responding.I rebooted my pc then tried the same thing again. Same outcome even though I let it "Back Up" for 7-8 hrs while I slept. Same Story............... iTunes 10.4.0.80 is the software I'm using. When my phone is 'plugged' in what I see on it's face is "Sync in Progress".....for hours!

I have seen reports on these forums where there is a limit to how many contacts you can have in the "to" field of a text message. That is the only thing I can think of where someone has reported getting a warning about too many contacts. -
I was upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS 5. The old files in my profile backed up. When relaunching the iPhone, I decided to create new profile on the iPhone, thinking I could copy my old contacts from the old profile (as iCloud seems to merge all contacts). When the ne profile was created on the iPhone, the old profile on iTunes disappared without a trace. Please help restore my contacts.
Did you use the Profile Manager or did you use reset to create that new profile?
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems
A reset tries to import some data from the old profile and then moves the profile to the desktop, but if you use the Profile Manager then you need to copy that data yourself to the new profile.
If you've deleted the old profile before making sure that your data has been recovered then you've lost that personal data.

Color profile problem/question.
These two exports of the same file were taken on my spouse's D300s, and are good examples of a profile problem I cannot seem to solve. This is the identical problem I also experience on the Nikon D700 and D3. The following was exported with the "Camera Standard" profile, and notice the yellow sun reflection on the door panels:
The following was exported with a xrite generated lightroom profile. Notice the better overall contrast, but also the horrendous unnatural yellow on the same door:
This difference causes all sorts of distortion in natural animal hair that contains any red-orange. I use these doors because they are such a stark example. Any attempts to correct with the WB will usually result in too much blue elsewhere. Also I have created many test profiles under many light conditions (both manually and from LR), and they all cause this problem in all three cameras. This is not a matter of one bad cameral, or one erroneously created profile.
I have two questions: Does this example show up well enough to see what I am talking about? If so, can anyone speculate as to the problem or solution? Even guesses would be appreciated since I am out of my own, and not expert in this sort of thing. Thanks!George, thank you for this information. I have a couple of things for you to try and another question. The ColorChecker Passport color patches are small, so I would suggest trying to reshoot a calibration image with the ColorChecker Passport in the center and filling at least 1/3 of the picture width. In the image you provided the ColorChecker Passport is about 1/8 the image width and far left of center. I know, I know, it should not matter, but give it a try. This is what I'm doing to create camera profiles for all three of my camera bodies (Canon 300D, 600D, 5D MKII), and I have not had a single problem with "color matching" using this procedure AND what I will describe next.
Concerning white balance procedure you say:
Using the grey card of the same product placed just outside the subject crop.
I assume you are referring to the large 60% reflectance white balance card on one side of the ColorChecker Passport, but you do not mention how you set white balance. I suggest using the LR white balance eyedropper tool with the smaller 80% reflectance gray scale patch on the ColorChecker Classic target side. This is the 2nd patch from the left bottom in your picture right next to the brightest 90% white patch. Two reasons for doing this! A higher reflectance patch reduces the influence of camera noise in the image with the LR 5 x 5 pixels eyedropper tool. Here's a LR forum post with a heated discussion on these issues (or lack thereof): http://forums.adobe.com/thread/854734?tstart=60 The second purely empirical reason is the "Classic" target side provides me with more accurate white balance than using the larger 60% card. Perhaps this is a defect with my ColorChecker Passport target, but I don't know.
When setting white balance with the LR eyedropper tool I suggest taking at least five (5) samples of the 80% patch. I use the center, TL, TR, BR and BL corner areas of the patch. Do not use any reading that has a large variation from the others. Please remember that the eyedropper tool is sampling a very small 5 x 5 (25 pixels) area, and image noise or a target paint defect can give you a bogus reading. Write down the temp and tint for each of the five (5) readings, add them, and divide by five to get the "average" white balance temp and tint. Enter the temp and tint values manually into the white balance tool. I create a user preset for each profile which contains only the ColorChecker created camera profile and manually adjusted white balance settings.
I would also suggest you check the readings of all six (6) grayscale patches for neutrality (R=G=B) using your new camera profile and white balance settings. I have found in some cases using the 65% reflectance patch (3rd patch in) provides the most neutral “overall” white balance setting for the six (6) patches. This is despite the fact it contains more camera noise than the 80% patch next to it. Again, this observation is purely empirical – I am not writing a scientific thesis! It works for me and hopefully it will get you closer to what you want.
One thing I am going to do tomorrow is borrow a friends color checker to rule out the possibility mine is defective. It doesn't look defective, but the problem is so consistent.
This is a very good idea! Having worked in a manufacturing environment for over 45 years, trust me when I tell you defective product from even the largest company ends up in the consumer’s hands. Please let us know what you find. -
Good Morning Everyone,
I seem to have constant IP Profile problems where I have to keep contacting the Broadband Helpdesk to get the IP Reset every few weeks. It seems to do it if the weather is bad (like over the past couple of days) or if i watch videos streamed from YouTube. I told the operator this the last time i called, but it was just dismissed and they just reset the profile.
Last night everything seemed so slow, so i ran a speedtest and yep the profile has dropped again and has been set to 2mbps. I connect at 8mbps and normally my download speed is around the 7.30mbps mark. What could be causing this?
Many Thanks, Steve

I've had an app giving me problems for at least a month now.
I've emailed the developer no less than 3 times about the issue and haven't heard back from them at all.
I believe I've done my due diligence on this matter and would like to contact Apple about this.
Does anyone know how to contact Apple about an app developer?
I've had no luck contacting them so I'm hoping that if I contact Apple then THAT might get their attention.
ThanksYou can also report a problem/issue with an app as described on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933

Color profile problem after installing CS4
OK.
First, let me post these side-by-side comparisons:
As you can see in Image 1 (the "before," left-side photo in each comparison), the colors and overall appearance are distorted. I've read things about gamma but it's all confusing to me. This is surely a color profile problem, right? The transition among pixels that involve colors of yellow and gray is rocky, grainy, and the flat out color is just wrong. Now this color problem affects pictures when opened in both Photoshop 7.0 and the standard Windows Photo Viewer. Meaning, whenever I open pictures in both PS 7.0 and Windows Photo Viewer (my default viewer), this color problem totally messes up certain photos and really damages my ability to edit. I'm an avid photo editor and it's imperative I have proper color display so that I can accurately edit. Keep in mind that certain pictures do not take on this error. When a photo is generally brighter, the distortion is basically invisible. It's photos that are dark or have dark portions in them that display the distortion.
*Note: I took these before-and-after pictures with my camera, because screencapping would not work, since you all don't have the same color profile issue on your computer. That's the only way I can show you!
HOWEVER, when I open photos in another standard Windows application, "Microsoft Office Picture Manager," the color problem is magically erradicated altogether. It shows photos as I've been seeing them all along, until I installed CS4 about two weeks ago. Before installing CS4, everything was fine and I had been using Photoshop 7 for years and have never had a problem. I'm guessing CS4 messed something up. It had to have. Just FYI, I uninstalled CS4, hoping it would reverse the problem. But still, the color issue persists in PS 7 and in my regular Windows Photo Viewer.
Since images display their true form in Windows Office Picture Manager, I don't think I need to calibrate my screen. Or do I? I've read things about it, and to some people, it's not necessary. Right? Okay. I really hope someone can give some advice! Thank you!
P.S. Here's the original photo. On my screen, it looks distorted when opened in photoshop or opened w/the viewer. However, here on Firefox, it's fine.You should try to familiarize yourself with the concepts of color management.
It's kind of too in-depth a subject to walk you through from a cold start here... There are a lot of good resources out there to help you get started. For example, in just a few seconds Google turned up this:
http://www.adobepress.com/articles/article.asp?p=1315593
The one thing to remember is this: There is NO quick solution, easy set of defaults, or direct answer to making your setup do what you want without your having to understand color management.
People may tell you to calibrate your monitors, or use a particular color profile as a default, or whatever, and they may have good, solid reasons for telling you those things, but if you don't attempt to get your mind around color management it will always seem as though something isn't working right, or is simply magic, which will be frustrating to you.
Here are some basic questions to ponder:
What image color profile is your image carrying?
Is your monitor a wide-gamut display and do you have a color profile set up for it? What kind of monitor is it?
What version of Windows are you running?
Do you know the difference between a color-managed app and one that is not color-managed?
Which of the apps you're using/showing above are color-managed?
What are your settings in Edit - Color Settings?
Take some time and do some research, get your head around the concepts, and it will all make more sense I promise you.

Hey, I have a question about color profiles.
If you go to system preferences -> display -> color, and use "Color LCD." Now click on "calibrate," use expert mode, and click continue all the time. does the screen change at all?
Mine seems to become greener, is that a problem?Hi haginile,
When you start the calibration did you follow the instructions and move the sliders around until the Apple icon in the box looks neutral gray to you before hitting the continue button?
Jrsy
Actually I forgot to mention that you need to adjust both left and right sliders through each of the five calibration steps before continuing to the next step.

How to solve the Embed Color Profile problem...
Hi Everyone,
This vijay from Chennai. I have one doubt for rectify the Embed color Profile problem, that's is how can i judges whether the file had Embed Color Profile or not. anyone solve this problem.
Thanks in Advance.
-yajivI used another profiles name, because I dont have the old one installed anymore, Youll have to be exact about the letters though.
And from a prepress-standpoint Id like to point out that removing the profile as opposed to »Convert to Profile« seems a peculiar practice, though of course Your reasons for doing so may be valid indeed.
You could try:
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
if (myDocument.colorProfileName == "U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2") {
// =======================================================
var idassignProfile = stringIDToTypeID( "assignProfile" );
var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
var ref1 = new ActionReference();
var idDcmn = charIDToTypeID( "Dcmn" );
var idOrdn = charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" );
var idTrgt = charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" );
ref1.putEnumerated( idDcmn, idOrdn, idTrgt );
desc2.putReference( idnull, ref1 );
var idmanage = stringIDToTypeID( "manage" );
desc2.putBoolean( idmanage, false );
executeAction( idassignProfile, desc2, DialogModes.NO );

Question 1:
Before, I logged into terminal
Typed: mate profile
and a profile document with some comments/paths opened in textmate.
Now I log into terminal
Type: open .profile
and it returns
The file /Users/francobarbeite/.profile does not exist.
Type: mate profile
and a blank document opens in textmate.
Did I actually delete my profile by mistake? And if that's a problem, what is/ is there a fix?
Question #2
Log into terminal
type: ls /etc
Get a list of files, one is named "profile"
type: mate profile
this opens in textmate:
# System-wide .profile for sh(1)
if [ -x /usr/libexec/path_helper ]; then
eval `/usr/libexec/path_helper -s`
fi
if [ "${BASH-no}" != "no" ]; then
[ -r /etc/bashrc ] && . /etc/bashrc
fi
I try to add this line of text to the profile:
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"
and it says I don't have permissions.
I'm trying to install Ruby version manager.
Am I in the right profile file?
And if so, how can I add that line of code to make RVM a function?
Thanks,
F1: Where can I find some good documentation about what profiles are? Is there a good book or online tutorial out there?
Profiles are just shell scripts. You can learn about shell scripts in any number of Unix books on shell scripting. The default Mac OS X shell is 'bash', so you would look in the Unix/Linux section of your bookstore, and you should find books on either 'bash' or shell scripting in general. The number you find is a function of how well stocked your local bookstore is.
2: What exactly is the purpose or function of the /etc folder?
In a traditional Unix/Linux system it contains system wide configuration information of all sorts. The all the files in /etc and you now have an expensive paper weight (been there, done that ).
With respect to /etc/profile, in a multi-user system, it would establish the IT departments idea of what environment variables everyone should have. In a Mac OS X environment, it is generally best to leave it alone, as typically there is only one user, and the home folder .profile or .bash_profile is sufficient, and safer for the typical user to modify (where typical user does not have a day job as a system admin).
3: Will creating a new .profile or .bash_profile in the home folder and modifying that, get the same result functionally as modifying the /etc profile? (The purpose of modifying the profile is have OSX see RVM as a function.)
When you start Terminal it will create an a suitable command line environment. As part of that, the Terminal will start a 'bash' shell which will process the contents of the /etc/profile, then process the contents of a home folder .profile or .bash_profile (only one will be processed, with .bash_profile taking precedence over .profile
You will get a command prompt after all initialization files have finished.
Again, if you desire more knowledge about using a Terminal, you can learn a lot from various Unix/Linux books (just keep in mind that every Unix/Linux distribution preforms its admin tasks differently, so you have to take some information with a grain of salt). There are a few books which specialize on Mac OS X command line stuff. For example:
Take Control of the Mac Command Line with Terminal
<http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/command-line>
And a search at Amazon.com for "Mac Command Line" will turn up several books. You might even one one of these books in your local bookstore in the Mac section (even if it is only a shelf or 2 is size ).
And you can always Google "Mac OS X Terminal" or "Mac OS X Command Line", and will most likely find something. -
Weird color profile problem after SMC update
Although I've managed to resolve this particular problem, I wonder if anyone has suffered the same thing.
Software update says that I should do the firmware update, so I did that yesterday night. Also, at the same time, I went and removed MS Office 2004 Test Drive (it was taking up space for no good reason). Sometime after doing those things, it seems like OSX had lost the display color profile. The only ones I've got was the Adobe one, Generic RGB and sRGB. The generic RGB washes the screen with a blue tone, and clicking on Calibration would merely have the ColorSync utility complain about the profile isn't there.
Looking at the knowledge base, it says that after the 10.4.8 upgrade, the screen may look bluer than before. The curious thing was that my Macbook reported it running on 10.4.8 when I first got it. But anyways I downloaded 10.4.7's LCD profile, and put it at the location specified in that knowledge base. Display preference still didn't pick up on the profile, so I end up restarting the machine, and now it seems to be using a profile called "Color LCD".
I'm wondering if anyone else have experienced something like this, and going to document this here as a possible solution if someone is lost after a random deletion of a color profile....
Macbook 13" Mac OS X (10.4.8)I had something similar happen when I upgraded to 10.4.8. In fixing the blue tint problem, I loaded a backup copy of the Color LCD profile. Subsequently, under exact circumstances I don't remember, the machine "lost" the profile. And the calibration option would just give an error.
So somehow, after further fiddling, I ended up with two copies of Color LCD profile, one the old 10.4.7 one, one the 10.4.8 one. I haven't had the problem of it losing the profile again.
But I might mention that there is a related problem which you may encounter. If I use fast user switching with another account and return to my (admin) account, the blue tint returns. The workaround is as described in this article:
http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/macosxhints/2006/02/fuscolor/index.php
I have created an alias to the DMProxy application as described in the above article, and have to run it after every time I use fast user switching.
