Desktop version looks different

Hi,
Something really odd happened and it happened on the desktop version only (mobile and tablet are fine).
In this example:
http://wwwthinkreelfilmscom.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
the green color from the notepad (in HOME and in CONTACT) used to be able to blend perfectly with the browser fill color. However, it no longer blend anymore. As far as I am concern, nothing had changed. Another strange thing is that when I preview it, it blends perfectly.
Any pointers appreciated.
UPDATE:
I tried loading the website on 2 different macs running mountain lions with Firefox, Chrome and Safari and they both look incorrect (example: see attached file). However, running it on a mac running Marvick and windows laptop look ok.

Hi Sanjit,
I tested it on 2 macs running: macos 10.8.4 running chrome: version 33.0.1750.15; firefox 27.0.1; safari version 6.0.5
I am suspecting that this only happens to 10.8.4? I tried it on machines that's running windows and macos 10.6.x, and 10.9.x and they look fine.
Thanks for checking.

Duplicate version looks different than original -- same adjustments

This morning I imported a few photos (D70 RAW), found they looked good with the default processing (no adjustments applied other than the default RAW 1.1 processing), and created duplicate versions to crop to different sizes. The duplicate versions look different -- the dark areas of the photos are lighter and noisier (sorry, still learning proper photo terminology). The duplicate versions have the identical adjustments (none). I tried toggling the cropping on/off, and the duplicate versions still look different.
This is very odd... has anybody else experienced this?

I did a little more investigation on this issue, and found that when I make the duplicate version, the image still looks identical. It is when I crop the image that things get messed up -- even if I then remove the crop adjustment.

Playback of MP4 file on 2 different Macs/Quicktime versions look different

I created a MP4 file from a Motion project (the project has been transferred between my MacBook Pro on Leopard and my iMac which has Snow Leopard).
On my iMac the file shows 156MB, and I use Quicktime Pro 10.X (its at home so not sure of what version) and the file comes up at 1280x720 as intended.
I then copy the file to my MacBook Pro which has Quicktime Pro 7.6.6 (I thought installing FCP included latest QT Pro Player??). The file size shows up as 149MB, and when i play the file back it comes up squashed, as in it's squashed at the top and bottom. So a circle looks oval now.
When i try and export on my MacBook Pro - i get the squashed image straight away.
I dont understand how this is possible? Can anyone shed light on whats going on? Is it the different QuickTime Pro versions?

I dont understand how this is possible? Can anyone shed light on whats going on? Is it the different QuickTime Pro versions?
Sounds like what you are seeing basic difference in the way the two versions of the QT Player display the aspect ratio. Beginning with iMovie '08 thru iMovie '09 and on into QT Player X, the display dimensions are determined by the by the pixel aspect ratio setting and not the the "Current Size" setting data embedded in your file. QT 7, on the other hand, relies on the "Current Size" sitting to display the movie. When these settings equate to different dimension, your movie will display differently depending on which player you are using at any given time. The easiest way to corrent this problem in your case, is to simply open the movie in QT 7.6.6 Pro, reset the display scale to 1280x720 in the Video Track "Visual Settings" tab in the "Properties" window, and then save these changes. Thereafter, the movie should play correctly in either QT Player. If things had been reversed and it was the pixel aspect ratio setting that had been erroneous, then you would have had to re-compress the file embed the correct aspect ratio. This is also why your QT v7.6.6 attempted exports reproduce the error since it is passing the incorrect scale dimension on to the new file you are creating unless you manually modify the output dimensions.

Saving as PDF from Excel looks different to Excel version

Hi
I have been working in Excel and been saving PDF files for the past year using the inbuilt feature in Excel. I have recently installed Adobe Acrobat so that I could save PDFs directly from Excel instead. When I save exactly the same file from Excel, the adobe acrobat PDF looks different to the excel PDF version.
I have uploaded an image to show you what I mean.
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=1z1ux6d&s=8
The image on the left is the correct version, this version was saved using the "Save As PDF" option built into excel. The image on the right is the version saved with the Excel acrobat add-in. You can notice how the font is different on acrobat version, the part where it says "Date" and "Description. You will also notice the black lines above the little card icons do not go right to the end of the line like they should. Each of of them little card icons is a seperate image, does Acroboat have trouble converting these little images or something as they appear fine on the Excel version.
Is there anything that can be done so converting it to PDF will look closer to how its suppose to look?

I checked the properties of each file. The Excel PDF version has more fonts listed in the properties section compared to the PDF maker one. I can select the "Date" and "description" and copy and paste it as text but now it appears the text is fine, its showing correctly now even though I havent changed anything.
The icon problem is still there though.
I have also attached another image of a close up of the little card icons:

The version on the right is correct, created within the built in PDF feature in Excel. The version on the left, created with the Excel pdf maker addin.

HT1848 My itunes windows look different. Where is the new version support? Anyone?

How do I transfer purchases from my ipod touch in the new version of itunes? Support I can find looks different from the itunes pages I see.

You can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC. To transfer purchases from the iPod you can then either right-click the iPod device on that sidebar and select 'transfer purchases', or do it via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases (on a PC doing alt-F should open the File drop-down menu).

If I open Muse from my dock (grey/silver look), it looks different than if I double click on an existing muse site (opens with a black background and different layout)... are they still the same versions?

Anyone know if these are the same versions or different? and why does this happen?

The one on your dock is an old version. The darker version of Muse is the newer version. Replace your icon on your dock with the newer one.

My Muse page looks different on Firefox and Chrome - both are the latest versions

On Firefox, my pre-loader wants to load each time it encounters an Edge Animate on my scroll page. Page anchors are slightly changed in Firefox and this messes up my scroll, opacity and Ege Animate triggers.
I'm not sure if this is relevant but I also receive this error message in my browser immediately after exporting to HTML - http://www.broadcastgems.com/mediastreamer5/Muse_js_Error.jpg
Here's my Muse Webpage - http://www.broadcastgems.com/MoGraphIntensity_ShapesText_PreLoad/
Lastly, I can't get my Form on the said page to work - on both Chrome and FIrefox. I can fill in the boxes but clicking 'Send' doesn't seem to do anything. Also, the text column for "Message" is ridiculously narrow - only 2-3 words long and I can't seem to change this. Visually it looks long but once I start typing it wordwraps after only 2-3 words. I'm using the built-in Form widget that comes with Muse.BTW, the form is right at the bottom of the page/URL I provided in the previous para - you can get there via the menu button, Inquiry.
Thanks for any assistance

Hi Aish, here's the screen recording I made http://www.broadcastgems.com/mediastreamer5/Muse_Browser_Issue_Jan29_2014_01.zip
Notice how Firefox initiates the Muse pre-loader each time it reaches an Edge Animate object AND how the layout looks different when I use the menu buttons to access page anchors. Unfortunately, I forgot to record the form's Message Text Field, to show how narrow the column is. Any idea on how to fix/enlarge the column for this?
BTW, I just received a form submission that I made a while back - like half an hour ago.
Cheers

PDF looks different on iOS

My PDF form looks and acts differently on my iPad vs. my computer both using reader.
Has anyone else had issues? Or know of a solution?

Alec,
Thank you for the response.
No the blue and red boxes aren't the issue. Some of the issues include:
The dropdown box doesn't change other fields like it does on the desktop version.
The radio buttons at the bottom have changed possition.
Some text that is displayed on the desktop version isn't showing in iOS.
Do you see the same problems when you open the document in iOS vs. desktop?

BT Cloud - Desktop client listing different folder...

Hello
I am experiencing a problem with BT Cloud's desktop client listing different folders to the browser version (both executing on the same Windows7 PC with same account details). BT Cloud application version 2.1.3764 58683eb bt_production.
The desktop client lists no backups of a new users home directory I have set up to backup (settings -> add folder -> c:/users/xxxx) whereas the browser version reports the directory, sub directory and files.
I have tried logging out of the destop client and back in, but the problem persists.
Has anyone else experienced this and does anyone know if there is a way to correct?
Thank you

My Windows 7 client used to work fine but I upgraded to the new version at the weekend, and now not only has the new version lost my previous settings for a backup folder, it won't let me add it back again.
I click the cloud icon then the 'Add folder' button then browse to the folder I want and click 'Select folder' button.
It accepts a folder on built-in drives (C: and D but ignores (no error or warning message) a folder on USB external drive F: which is the one I want.
Looks like a failure in regression testing.
Has anyone else had this problem, and is there a workaround?
Just a very long shot.
I only have a small number of files and folders in Cloud, as I'm still trying to come to terms with instructions - so far with success, as demonstrated by a recent system image restore. All files were preserved, after uploading them using the web version of BT Cloud. Even backup files were preserved.
It's just possible that if you had the f:/ drive unticked or not connected at some point, Cloud took this as a deletion.
You may just not be able to upload a deleted folder again. You do have problems trying to reload a deleted file.
Have you tried to rename the folder in the f:/ drive?

Syncing Desktop Version Preferences with CC

Hello:
I've looked and perhaps I've missed it, but if one subscribes to CC is there a way that one's preferences in the desktop version of the Creative Suite 6 get transferred to the CC? Or, does one need to re-enter one's preferences for PS, Illustrator, ID in CC?
I've seen lots of commentary and promoition re: the ability to sync preferences between CC on different computers, but that's not what I want to konw.
Thanks and best regards,

The syncing of app preferences is only available in the CC version. So you have two options:
Move the CS6 ones to CC.
Export the CS6 preferences and upload them to the Creative Cloud files page. You can them download and import them on another computer.

PDFs look different in Adobe reader and Acrobat professional compared to the built in PDF viewer on windows 8

Hi there,
I have been trying to narrow down an issue we have been having for some time in printing PDF files and finding that they look different on paper compared to screen. Up until today our big KIP plotter got the blame, but as I have been collecting notes on a little windows 8 tablet I noted that PDFs opened in the windows PDF viewer have the same visual defects as the printouts. My example today is that on a CAD drawing there is a small box/frame with a number in their, I tried printing and the frame was completely blacked out. As a test I tried saving the PDF as a TIFF file from Adobe Acrobat professional and this file had the same fault as the printed copy. When I open it in the windows 8 pdf viewer I can see that there is a shading within this box that does not show on Adobe Reader (latest version 11.0.10.32), the adobe reader and acrobat pro version both show a white background to the box. We have been having lots of issues with sections being missing from drawings and overly feint lines.
I am not sure where to start trying to narrow down why we are getting different results in different PDF readers. Is there anyone who maybe able to point me in the right direction? It almost feels like the shading or colour density is not being consistent when PDFs are being opened in different packages.
Thanks in advance
Andy

Some PDF viewers comply with the PDF ISO Standard (ISO 32000) "just enough" while others (such as Adobe's) fully comply.
As with anything there's a cost to using anything that comes from a "just enough" approach.
Be well...

After connecting my MBP to a projector, my display screen looks different...any ideas on how to fix?

I used my MBP today at work to present a PowerPoint presentation using the projector my office has. I have no idea what the brand of the projector is -- but now the appearance of all of my programs and desktop is different.
The sizing is not what it was set to, and swiping larger or smaller does nothing to fix it.
The font looks different, bolder, messier.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Or why it changed after being connected to another device?
Help! This is a trivial question -- but I loved the settings I had -- and the options in the setting menus don't have anything helpful.

I didn't even notice that. I think that fixes it. Thanks.

Pdf color looks different in preview and acrobat?

I notice that the colors in various PDF files I have look different in Preview and in Acrobat. Is there some weird color profile issue?
To be specific, I can create a PDF file in various ways, of a slide deck I originally created using Keynote. It has various different color blocks in the slides. In particular some acid green colors look very different depending on whether I open the PDF in Acrobat or in Preview.
Preview shows the colors as they were in the original keynote application. But Acrobat shows them far more muted.
I learned from another post that if I create the PDF by first saving to postscript and then creating the PDF using Acrobat, the issue seems to go away. However this is very inconvenient.
In short, it seems as though there is some peculiar difference between the way Preview and Keynote (and probably Pages ) handle color and the way Acrobat handles color.
Is there some way to fix this using some setting in one of the programs?
By the way, this is not a new problem. I noticed it with previous OS's as well as previous versions of Keynote. I am currently using the latest version of everything.

Same problem here. I was printing a PDF that my designer had sent me. Before I have always used Acrobat, but I've started using Preview in Leopard since it's faster and more powerful than before. But the colors were seriously wrong, often reversed completely. I believe this file was originally created in Illustrator.

How to ALWAYS open links in new tabs on IE10, desktop version? Settings Internet Options Tabs seems incomplete......

Hello, I know variations of this question have been asked already, but I'm not finding answers that seem to actually work.
For example, if I click on a link in my Favorites Bar or in my Favorites, they open in the already open tab, not in a new tab.
This is not the case for Firefox; in FF they always open in a new tab. In previous versions of IE there were plugins that enabled this feature, but in IE10, Desktop version, all we seem to have are the tab options in settings. I have tried setting it
to always open in new tabs, and in new a new window, but nothing works.
Please don't mention keyboard shortcuts, as that doesn't seem intuitive; who wants to remind themselves to use the shortcut every time?
And yes, I know I could go back to FF, but I'm not a quitter! I want to like IE10, and I'm willing to give it a chance in spite of a few shortcomings.
Is there a plugin or registry hack to really really really make IE10 ALWAYS open links in new tabs?

Hi,
As far as I know, the behaviors of clicking some links are different due to how they are designed for some websites; there should be some purposes about why they are designed in such
way. There might be no other way to achieve this in Internet Explorer. Please understand that Internet Explorer and Firefox are different, such as on how they are designed and how they work; and Firefox needs an add-on to do this.
In Internet Explorer, there are many shortcut keys to reduce the operations and make it easier to use; I think you can have a try. I would like to share the following with you for your reference:

I cannot get the desktop version to open.

I am on a Mac running OS 10.10 (Yosemite). I was able to access Story in Chrome and sign in successfully. I downloaded the desktop version which required updating Air (which I did) and now when I launch Story on my Mac I get message saying that the application needs to update. So I try to update it but I get a message that says:
"Sorry, an error has occurred.
The application cannot be installed due to a certificate problem. The certificate does not match the installed application certificate, does not support application upgrades, or is invalid. Please contact the application author."
Then I click Close and it relaunches the Story launch screen and again the update pop-up pops up and if I click later the pop-up goes away. If I then try to sign in (I am a CC subscriber) I get an error that reads:
"Error
Failed to connect to services. Do you want to login in offline mode?" No or Yes
I click Yes and nothing happens.
The online version seems to work in Chrome but I am really more interested in the desktop version. I realize this software is classified as beta but I'd still expect it to function at least a little bit. Right now I can't use the desktop version at all. I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks.

It seems like you already have an old installation of Story.
You will have to remove it first before installing the latest one.
So the steps would be:
- Open 'Applications' folder in finder and move 'Adobe Story' app to Trash. Remove it from Trash too.
- Search 'Adobe Story' in Spotlight to make sure that this application is not installed on a different drive. If installed then remove that version too.
- Now download the latest version and install it. ( you can download the installer directly from: https://story.adobe.com/AIR/AdobeStory.air )
