Different PDF highlight shades on different computers using Preview?

I read a lot of PDFs in Preview and use the various shades for highlighting. Today, I opened up a PDF and, scrolling back an earlier set of highlights, was surprised to find they were a MUCH lighter shade than the colors I had added just yesterday. I believe it corresponds to a difference between highlighting on my laptop versus my desktop. If I spend a lot of time on one, and then move to another, I notice that the colors seem to be different. In the past, I'd just chalked it up to color-balancing, but today I noticed it was a striking difference when viewed on the same monitor. Does anyone have an idea what's going on? Perhaps I've made a change somewhere on one computer that I don't remember (and haven't made on the other)? Any help is appreciated, as the difference is so striking that it's almost as if I didn't highlight at all on the earlier passages.
EDIT: A little more investigation leads me to believe this could be a case of successive saves and compression of the PDF resulting in a loss of saturation. The more times the PDF has been saved, the more saturation lost, leading to state where yellow and green appear almost identical. Perhaps I need to abandon Preview for "serious" PDF use and go back to Acrobat Pro?

  • I purchased songs from 2 different computers using itunes with the same apple id. I had 1 iPod I used for these but I just recently got an iPhone and I was wondering why it wasn't letting me put my purchased songs on my iPhone?

    You can transfer iTunes content from an iTunes library on a single computer only.
    Since these songs were purchased with the same iTunes account, you can download the song that is not in your iTunes library on the computer you will be syncing your iPhone with. Or you can download the song or songs direct on your iPhone.

  • Printing from different computers using WIFI

    I've got Wifi at home. My wife and I have different computers, I'm Mac and She's PC, and I'd like to set up wireless printing using the wifi. Can someone point me to a page that will educate me on how to do this? I remember seeing something about this capability in SnowLeopard, but I have no clue where to start.

  • How to share a GB file between different computers (using dropbox).

    Me and a friend are trying to share Garageband '09 files using a shared folder with dropbox. He saves a .band file and then saves it to the shared folder. After it loads on my side I open it, but it is empty. Does GB even have this capability? Can it save a file with no dependencies? I do not want to export to mp3 or other format. I am trying to share the actual GB file. I don't want to zip or archive at all. We have the space and the forum for sharing, I just need to know how to save it properly in GB, if GB even has this capability. If not, does Logic Express?

    You should be able to save the file with no (external) dependencies and share the actual GB file. The .band file is actually a collection of components.
    Why not Save As Archive and Zip it? It might travel better when zipped. It can be unzipped and reconstituted upon receipt.

  • Can I access the I Tunes Store on different computers using my settings?

    I see that I can't download apps etc. Unless I'm connected to a computer and wonder if I can use my settings and go on someone elses computer to download apps?

    Oh my. You need to start doing a little manual reading with your iPad. You download apps directly to your iPad by using the App Store app that comes with it. You need to sign into your iTunes store account (you need to be online, obviously). Sign in under "Account" at the bottom of the "Featured" screen. Any apps you've purchased elsewhere will be available for free download this way on your iPad as long as you purchased them using the same account you log into the store with here. And yes, the only way you can get applications onto your iPad is this way or by syncing to a computer where you bought them through iTunes.

  • Logging in using cflogin from 2 different computers

    Hi, I am new to coldfusion. I am writing a login page using
    <cflogin> and <cfloginuser> and a query to the database
    to see if the username/password combination exists.
    If so, the user is logged in.
    The problem is that if I open a new window of the browser on
    a different computer, I am instructed to login again ! This is
    because the login data is stored in a cookie, am I right?
    What should I add to "save" the fact that the
    username/password combination has been already used so that two
    user's can't login from 2 different computers using the same
    username/password?
    Many Thanks in advance,
    Mitja

  • Put itunes downloaded from different computers on same ipod?

    Hello,
    I have downloaded itunes onto two different computers using the same account. How do I put these itunes onto my ipod without deleting any content? Thanks, Jake.

    If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer change the update setting on your iPod to manual. Connect your iPod to the computer you are using it on now an in iTunes go to Edit>Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box:
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing Your Songs Manually
    For info: iPod 101
    The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
    1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
    2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
    3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

  • How do I sync on 2 different computers without it deleting my stored music?

    I have songs on my home computer loaded on my iPhone, & I have songs/albums loaded on my work computer. Is there a way to sync the 2 different computers using my iPhone? for instance, I have a new CD I downloaded onto my work computer that I want to add to my iPhone but it says it is going to delete all the music I have loaded on my phone already. can I add this CD to my iPhone & not delete all my music? When I sync my iPhone then to my home computer I'd like the CD to be added to that computer as well.
    Thank you for your assistance with this & HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL

    But is it possible to (specifically) sync regularly with my PC iTunes library (as that computer has the larger HD), but everything else (contacts, photos, Mac Mail, etc.) to sync regularly on my Mac, sans hoops each time.
    Correct, but you aren't syncing email account mailboxes and messages via the iTunes sync process. There is an option to transfer selected email account settings to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process and after the account settings are successfully transferred to your iPhone, there is no reason to continue including this as part of the sync process.
    In regards to iTunes content, you can sync an iPhone with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and you can transfer photos to your iPhone from a single computer only. You can sync contact info, calendar events, and bookmarks with the supported applications on multiple computers.

  • Gathering documents from different computers?

    Im writing a project on about 100 pages, we are seven students writing it, and we are all contributim by writing from different computers using different writing programs. This means that I have to gather documents with different margins, spacings etc. when im finnishing the projekt.
    How can I make all margins, spacing etc. the same? And exactly what should I remember to change, in order to get the document to look like it was written from one computer?

    Well my first initial thought would be close to what you are describing, to gather all documents in one document, mark it all and start changeing, but what I want to make sure is to what settings I need to be aware of, are there other than margins, font, spacings? There are different spacings from when you hit enter to a new line to when you press the tabulator to indent a new line. Just clicking on the i button and then the T, alot of different settings comes up concerning different spacings, linings etc.

  • IOS 6 upload just crashed 2 ipods on 2 different computers with 1602 error - anyone know how to recover. Ipods are both locked in upload screen.

    I have 2 ipods which are individually synced to 2 different computers using 2 different apple account id's. Both crashed during the IOS 6 update with the same indication and message. error code 1602 and message that there was an unknown error during the update. In both cases, the ipods are stuck in the upload screen even if I power cycle them and niether computer will recognize them any more.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
    Also try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Using Preview: how can I see an attachment inside a pdf-file?

    Hello,
    I received a pdf-file which contains an xls-file as an attachment.
    Using preview I cannot see the excel file. Only in Acrobat it shows the attachment and I can then select it and open in Excel.
    Any idea if that is also possible using preview?
    Thanks from Germany

    Preview can destroy a PDF file without even trying.
    See -> http://khkonsulting.com/2013/06/preview-app-killer-of-pdf-files/.
    Just don't use Preview to view or attempt to interact with PDF files.

  • How can I use the same "I Tunes" on two different computers

    I’m using two different kinds of Personal Computer: One is Desktop PC And the other one is Notebook .
    In each computer there are the same songs and when I get the new ones to the Desktop I want them to be placed on the Notebook or reverse.
    Where does the I Tunes save the playlist on the hard drive ?
    I have prepared a playlist on my Notebook and want it to be seen on the Desktop but I dont want to fallow the steps File > Library > Export Playlist on the Notebook. Is there any other way to make this issue instead of the mentioned steps.
    How can I see the same Playlists and songs on two different computers ( notebook and desktop) including the updating processes.
    Operating systems of the computers:
    Desktop: XP Pro
    Notebook: Vista Bussiness

    I use SyncToy 2.0 to keep two instances of my library in sync. SyncToy's preview will show which files it is about to update giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the changed files will be copied saving lots of time.
    As long as I sync after making updates at one instance of the library before making any updates at the other then everything works just fine. I periodically run iTunes Folder Watch to check for any orphaned entries or new items that haven't been imported into the active library. If your machines are regularly networked together this process is fairly straightfoward. Mine are in disparate locations so I use one of the (physically) small WD My Passport host powered drives which I take between home & work, synchronising at either end. This gives me three complete copies of my library so I'm covering backup & synchronisation in the same operation.
    When connecting my iPod at either location iTunes recognises itself as the "home" library for the iPod so I'm able to use the sync with selected playlists option without getting warning messages about the iPod being synced with a different library.
