CS3 to CS5 -- Now colors change automatically... can I disable that?

Being in printing I often make swatch charts to get a range of colors for color matching when profiles aren't close enough. Beginning at a certain color, I gradually decrease one color horizontally (say cyan) and another color vertically (say magenta).
In other words, my top row might have 3 squares (1: c100, m100, y0, k0 -- 2:c100, m90, y0, k0 -- 3:c100, m80, y0, K0)
Below that, I'd copy those and change the cyan value from 100 to 90 in all three boxes and it would keep the varying magenta values. Copy again and make it 80 and so on until I have a range I can print to find the color that's closest. This worked well in CS3 and every Illustrator version before it.
Now, in CS5, when you change one value (like cyan), it "auto-corrects" the other colors (magenta, yellow or black) to the last one entered so all the colors match. It's crazy annoying. Anyone had any a similar experience? Any suggestions on how to make this work like it used to? I hate whe Adobe changes the proper functionality of their products.
Please help... I keep having to relaunch CS3 to save time when building these swatch charts. Thanks in advance.

I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way?

I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way? I appreciate that it is a different computer but I am now the end user of both devices and I was just wondering if it was possible.
Thanks,
Sean

The answer would be in your software license agreement for Aperture. However if you cannot locate it you can ask in the Aperture forum, the link for that is:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/aperture
However I believe you can have Aperture installed on two machines however only one may be using it at a time.
On the new iMac launch the Mac App Store - Purchased - look for Aperture and download to your new machine.

How can I disable that ugly black menu to the left the screen?

I use "google" as my homepage and I do not like clutter either on my desktop or on my homepage.
How can I disable that black menu at the left of the home page?
Dell technicians have tried, but cannot eliminate it. Usually one is able to "hide" menus.

Google changed their homepage. They replaced the narrow black menu at the top of the screen and replaced it with the wider grey bar. When you click on the Google logo that black menu opens on the left side. Sorry I don't know how to close that menu, haven't seen that page myself, just read about that change yesterday.
Try a Google group for help with that. not a Firefox support issue. <br />
Another suggestion is to use the default Firefox homepage - '''about:home'''

Why are my assigned iCal colors changing automatically?

All of my designated calendar colors are changing on their own in my iCal on my iPhone and in iCloud. Anyone know why this is happening? I tried to change back, but keeps reverting to new colors.

I just had the same problem. I went to the iCloud to change the colors back, but they would automatically change back.
Here's what I did:
1. Take your calendars offline in iCal
2. Export the calendars that change color to the desktop
3. Delete the calendars from both the iCloud and iCal
4. Create new calenders in iCal making them the color you want
5. Import the calendars from the desktop int your new calenders
6. Put your Calendars back online to sync with iCloud
Good luck!

I just updated my MacBook Pro late 2011 15" to Mountain Lion. Whenever I open an app like VLC,Forklift,GoogleEarth,Photo Booth my color tone changes into a colder color. How can i disable this?

Hello,
Mountain Lion is great, but i have been facing some difficulties, first of all my apps were gone i had to reinstall all most all of them.
That is not the big problem, the problem is that whenever i open apps like photobooth, lightroom, or vlc my color tone changes. This is used to happen when I opened really intense apps eg mafiaII or like GTASA. Is there any way to disable this?

try disabling it, take a took at these snaps from my phone. Might not be really clear but can give you an idea
Hope this is clear,
Thanks for the suppport

CS3,CS4,CS5 - Text Color

Hi,
I am trying to dynamically change text color.
My text boss is defined as:
Class
kColorStaticTextBoss,
kStaticTextWidgetBoss,
IID_IUICOLORSPEC, kUIColorSpecImpl,
and type:
type ColorStaticTextWidget (kViewRsrcType) : StaticTextWidget (ClassID = kColorStaticTextBoss)
UIColorSpec;
To change the text color I obtain a pointer to the implementation of IUIColorSpec. Calling SetTextColorID on the object works fine using the predefined color scheme, however I need RGB values and SetTextColorAGM silently fails. I really hope someone can help on this one
Thanks
Kind regards Toke

I found that the following worked:
Provide my own implementation of IID_ICONTROLVIEW.
Have my implementation class inherit from CStaticTextView.
Override CStaticTextView::GetTextColor().

Bridge CC converts my thumbnails from b/w to color. How can I stop that ?

In Bridge CS6 when I loaded images from my Canon camera shot in Raw but with the Monochrome pic style, it retained the thumbnails in black and white. That is perfect !
How can I stop Bridge CC from changing the Raw back to their default ?
Help please !
Robert

I tried to find a similar setting in LR 5 but could not find it. Like Yammer said, each vendor has its own interpretation of a Raw file. LR and PS/Bridge use the same ACR engine but have different user interfaces and also some different option but basically the demosaicing of the Raw data is the same for both. Only the Raw software delivered by your camera vendor can show you those in camera generated options.
With the option to use embedded previews you do lack a lot of speed and power for Bridge because it shows the camera generated previews and not the default (or your own default) setting of ACR. Also to view a HQ preview for better judgement it takes time before it has generated this preview and as you discovered yourself, loses the in camera generated settings.
And to add a personal opinion, I don't understand why you use in camera settings to create a B&W or other attempts. As Yammer pointed out, the camera generates all possible data in a raw file. Having the ability to use PS you have far more and far better options to create whatever effect you want in a far better and more controllable way using adjustment layers and masks etc., and besides that, still have the original Raw file at hand.
Just Google for a video tutorial to create a B&W in PS and you will find dozens that have stunning results. Use the camera for creating the basic data, use Bridge to sort, rate and add metadata. Use ACR for a good starting point and get wild in PS to create your end result as you would like it, don't let someone or something (your camera software) else make those decisions for you…

My epson artisan 387 no longer prints cd's since airprint is now 'installed'. How can I disable airprint?

Since buying an ipad, my Epson Printer Artisan 387, will not print CD's from Epson's PrintCD. Can airprint be disabled? I do not print from my ipad.

I had this same/similar problem. All my other Macs printed to the Artisan 837 on CDs/DVDs without any problem except my MacPro.
I did what you suggested, deleted the Artisan 837 from the Printers & Scanners list is System Preferences. Then reinstalled it by clicking on the plus sign at the bottom of the printers listed on the left side of the Printers & Scanners settings page.
However, instead of just selecting the Artisan 837 in the pop up window, I chose "Add Printer or Scanner..." That brought up another window which let me choose Epson Artisan 837(IP). I installed that and BOOM! It now lets me select all the media types including CD/DVD.
I had also previously downloaded and installed the OSX 10.8 printer drives from the Epson website for the 837. I know, you're not supposed to do this, but, everything works the way it is supposed to now, so I'm leaving it this way.
I'm going to do a back up (clone) and see if there is any software updates and how that affects my printing system.
Good luck.

When Firefox crashes and I restart my Mac, it automatically restores the pages I had open before the crash. I don't want it to restore sessions. How can I disable that?

When Firefox gets hung up, I do a force quit. Then when I restart my Mac, it tries to restore all the sessions I had open before the crash. It doesn't crash often but every time it crashes, it does the automatic session restoration. The crash happens when I haven't shut down my computer for a day or two; it's like Firefox just gets tired and needs to be refreshed. It doesn't seem to matter what windows I had open. I have a MacBook Pro 10.6.8.

We close all applications before we power down the system. There is nothing open before we turn it off yet the same boxes open when we turn it back on.

The touch screen of my Ipod touch is broken, I can't enter my unlock code. how can I disable that code to make my backup. Thanks

Hi, The touch screen of my Ipod touch is brocken( not responding), I can't enter my code to unlock it, so I can't make any backup of my data before changing the Ipod touch at the Apple store( still in warranty) . Is there any other way to cancel this code from my computer? thanks

There is no way to make a backup of your iPod.

Deploying itunes, connecting phone, icloud wizard shows up. Where can I disable that?

I am deploying itunes to hundreds of computers with limited user rights.
This works out fine, but when they connect their phone, the iCloud Wizard starts. The users are not allowed to use iCloud because of security restrictions. And they do not have access to install software, or make changes to the computer. On the other hand they are allowed to connect their phones.
How do I prevent, in the installation, that the wizard is activated when the phone connects. Is there a registry key og is there a possibility in the .inf files?
I have opened the Msi in Orca and 7zip, and there is no clue there for how to disable this wizard. Or preventing it from starting when I connect a phone.
I am running this registry addition, based on the table below. But the wizard is a new feature and there is no diable key for it yet.
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Apple Computer, Inc.\iTunes\Parental Controls\Default" /v AdminFlags /t REG_DWORD /d 19922985 /f
UserFlags/AdminFlags Name
Hexidecimal Value
(only when manually editing the client registry value)
Decimal Value
(only when deploying registry value via Group Policy)

This happened to me too! Anybody figure out a fix? or at least Why its happening?

I HATE iOS 7! Can I disable that darn pop up bar at the screen bottom?

Is there any way to get rid of that pop up bar that allows multitasking? Every time I touch the lower half of the screen, it pops up and slows down everything I do.

Can't find this info anywhere... Can I upgrade from CS3 to CS5 or CS5.5?

After using Adobe products for years and years, it's not only my opinion but the opinion of many of my colleagues that CS upgrades are only worth it about every other upgrade. That might be a subjective opinion, but it does lead in to my question: Does anyone know if I can upgrade from CS3 to CS5 or CS5.5?? I can't find that info anywhere on Adobe's site.
Thanks!

Does anyone know if I can upgrade from CS3 to CS5 or CS5.5??
The Adobe Buying Guide clearly states that the answer for CS3 to CS5.5 is yes.
Design Premium example (other Creative Suites are the same):

You won't be able to buy CS5 from Adobe (not that you'd have any reason to).

ICal Calendar Colors Changing On Their Own; iCloud Connection

AGGRAVATING PROBLEM:
Many in this forum have written recently about a problem ongoing for people with multiple iCal calendars where iCal calendar colors change "automatically" when you haven't selected those colors, or even "change back" before your eyes to some color your DIDN'T select after you select a new one. If you log into iCloud on the Web and try to change the color of certain calendars, they refuse to change. Try as you might, the color you want for your calendar won't "stick" and it is forced to be the wrong color on all your devices. In some cases, even the names of some of the calendars cannot be changed. On other calendars in your list, the colors and names will change fine.
Related symptoms: Calendars you have deleted "come back."   Or, calendars you did not create yourself show up in your calendars list, such as "Calendar" or "Home" or even "Untitled." Note that the problem seems to be most prevalent with calendars with names "Home," "Work," OR either of these words in the NAME of the calendar. For instance, "Bob's Work" might get snagged (it can't be deleted without coming back or its color is stuck and "comes back").
I spent a long time on the phone with a helpful Apple senior advanced specialist on this problem today. We conducted a very large number of "experiments". Our family has two iPads, 2 iPhones, and 2 iMacs, so it was easy to rule things in or out. I will present some information that may help.
SOME OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE GOING ON:
First, Apple has not resolved this. But the problem appears to be related to iCloud, and NOT to individual devices. After de-linking all of my individual devices from iCloud, I could change any of the colors or names at will on any given device, create new calendars and then change their colors to whatever I wish, delete calendars, change names...no problem. However, after re-linking calendars to iCloud, all the problems mentioned above returned. The chances that my iMacs, iPhones, and iPads are all causing the problem independently is very low. They also have slightly different OS versions on them, so it is not likely an a particular device OS, though that could be indirectly related. Also, the colors "change back" within about the same time (usually a few seconds to up to 30 seconds) that it takes to do a "refresh" (i.e. an update) to the iCloud servers. This when iCloud is turned on, and the absence of it when iCloud is turned off (for calendars), strongly suggests that it is the iCloud server and its interaction with your devices that the fundamental cause of the problem.
Apple has said that they are aware of this problem and their engineers are working on a fix. Historically, this can mean just a few days, or it could be a few months, years, or "whenever." They don't give estimates of when it will be fixed. Exactly WHY this is happening is unclear, but my guess is that it is a modification to the iCloud server code that Apple implemented without testing it thoroughly enough to discover this problem. Apple does not admit to that, of course and I don't know if I am correct.
A WORKAROUND SOLUTION THAT WORKED FOR ME:
Please note this is a workaround and not a full fix. Apple needs to run a patch on their iCloud server code. Until then, I did the following which seems to have worked for me for now. Read the whole list before deciding whether to proceed. I don't guarantee it will work in all situations.
Note...I found I was stuck for now with the color of ONE of my calendars. If you are like me, you want to keep that one and work around it....
Backup first... Make sure that your iCloud copy of your calendar data has the calendar event information you want to save - even if the color is wrong. Log in at www.icloud.com and do a refresh to sync to the Cloud. Check over your calendars online to make sure the event data appears to be there for all of your calendars (even if their color or name is not what you want).
Steps:
1.     Go to every device that you have linked to iCloud separately. Go into Settings, iCloud, and then uncheck the "Calendars" option. This delinks your calendars for that device to iCloud. As you do this on each device, when prompted, select "Keep On My" ..iPAD...iPhone...iMac... etc. This will preserve the calendar information on the device so it won't be deleted. I think this is safer, but you can click on "Delete" if you want, too. Note - if one of your devices is an iMac, with OSX Lion and before, you may be forced (I was) to delete the iCloud calendars from the iMac. So again, make sure they are backed up to the Cloud first (or somewhere else).
3.     With the iCloud Calendars Option on all your devices still turned off, go to the WEB and log into iCloud.com. You need to figure our which calendar iCloud won't let you change the color for. You probably already know. On iCloud.com, click on "Calendars," then click open your calendar list and select "EDIT" at the bottom of the dialog box. One at a time, click on the color dots next to each calendar name and try to change the color (you can put any back after the test if you want). You will probably see a certain one that just goes right back to what you don't want. This is the one for which the color is stuck, but you may be able to change the name of it now that your devices are unlinked from iCloud.
4.     Still in iCloud.com, change the names and colors of any of the other calendars you wish to change. Delete any empty calendars that mysteriously appeared without your wanting them. Take note of all the calendars, names, and colors that are on the final list of calendars.
5.     On EVERY device, BEFORE turning iCloud back on on ANY of them: Change the colors and/or names of calendars, delete calendars, etc. so that the calendar names and colors on the device are exactly the same as what you left in iCloud.com in the last step.
6.   One at a time on each device, go back to Settings and then "iCloud" and check again the box for "Calendars." You will be asked whether you want to "MERGE" your data with iCloud. I selected MERGE to ensure I didn't lose anything. Link each device again into iCloud one at a time.
7. When each device is back, go back to iCloud on the Web, or go into iCAL on one of your devices. Set to view ALL calendars. Look for duplicates of some of your events. I found quite several as an artifact of "merging", but in my case it only took me about 5 minutes to go through quickly and delete the duplicates. It deleted the duplicates on all of the devices at once, so I only needed to delete dups on one device. I did not find that I lost any events as long as I kept one valid copy.
Again, no guarantees...hope this works for others. Good luck.

I'm getting the same thing and it's really bugging me! Keeps changing colour to one I do not want and I have tried everything to get it to stay the colour I have chosen!!

Color change between Illustrator versions

When I'm opening an Illustrator cs file for a while back in Illustrator cs5, the colors change. When I try to open the cs file (eps) in Photoshop cs5, the colors change too. What setting am I missing? The document color mode is set on cmyk. Is it something inside of color settings? Thank you

Ok... let me be more specific, sorry for the confusion. Here is exactly what's going on...
Another designer is working in Illustrator CS and has created a logo that they provide to me in ai, eps, jpg, tif, png and gif. The jpg, tif, png and gif have been output from the eps file by opening the eps file in Photoshop and saving in the desired format. All these files have the same color.
The issue is when I receive them and I want to either simply open the ai or eps in Illustrator CS5 (or CS3), or open the eps in Photoshop CS5 (or CS3) so I can save a big high res jpg for example, the color are lighter and not the same as the jpg provided from them. So I'm unable to create any files (jpg, gif, tif...) from the eps to match what was created before. Does that make sense?
I have established that the other designer uses Illustrator CS and CMYK is selected for the 'document color mode' in Illustrator. When I work in Illustrator CS5 CMYK is also selected.
When I have opened other eps files from the same Illustrator version, and looked at the files that were output from them, the colors are all the same, but in this case it is not. I'm wondering if I'm missing a setting somewhere or if this will always happen if you open an Illustrator CS eps inside Illustrator CS5.
