Disappearing Pantone swatches when using only percentages of the swatch

Hi I've come across something what might be a bug in Illustrator CS6..
Here's the thing.. I've made a design in Ai CS6 (with colorspace) and have used several Pantone swatches.
From a few Pantone colors I have used only a percentage of the color, for example the design consists of: 75% of Pantone 485 C, 32% of Pantone 1345 C and 100% of Pantone 154 C.
In the process of the design I have used several other Pantone colors which are not used in the final design, but they are still in the Swatch tab/list.
So when you click on the triangle (upper right corner) > "Select All Unused..", the Pantone colors that are only used as percentages (Pantone 485 C & Pantone 1345 C in the example) are being selected as "Unused" ?!
I have been using Ai CS4 before this version and in that version this wasn't a problem.
I could you percentages of Pantone colors without the swatch being selected as "Unused".
I really don't want to manual delete every unused swatch by dragging it into the trash bin.
It would be such a time wasting handling.
This is really inconvenient as I am working for a print and design company and need to save the Pantone colors that are used in the design, even if they are only a percentage of the Pantone swatch.
Could someone please explain to me why or what the reason is that this is happening..
Did I miss something?
Thanks!

Hello! For everyone that even after doing all of the suggestions we could find online, I finally figured it out
If you have FontExplorer Pro installed, then the plugins are the ones at fault. They released an update (that I still haven't been able to install since it gives me an error when doing so) but this are the listed bugs that were fixed:
Plugin Version for Illustrator CS 5, 5.1 and CS6
Color swatches are now correctly displayed and no longer produce an empty window.
Fixed a problem which prevented linked files from being shown or placed in an Illustrator document.
Resolved an issue which sporadically caused Illustrator to crash during font activation Font activation did not occur when document names contained an umlaut character (Ä Ö Ü)
Hope this sheds some light on this frustrating issue! I tweeted Linotype (@Linotype_com) so if anyone wants to follow them or myself @iKitty I'll be RT their answer or update when I am successful updating them.
So in the meantime, just disable the plugins and everything should be ok.

When using Quite Imposing Plus the resulting file is only given a Temp name which will be sent as the document name.

Our company has recently upgraded form Acrobat Professional 8 to Acrobat professional XI. We also use the Quite Imposing Plus plug-in in both versions. Now when using Quite Imposing Plus the resulting file is only given a Temp name which will be sent as the document name to the printer unless the imposed document is first saved. This was not the case in Acrobat Professional 8. I have attached a screen shots that shows an example.
Is there any reason why this is happening and how can we stop it.

Thank you for your advice although I think you may be incorrect as the naming of the documents made with Quite Imposing is correct in Acrobat 8.
After reading the comment below it would seem something has changed from version nine onwards.
Going forward we plan on changing the way we save and send our imposed documents to print but thank you for your time.

Is this an app bbbc? IF it is I would contact the app developer and see if they can resolve the issue for you.
also take a look at the reviews and see if other users are having the same issue and see if they have a resolution.

With TSM adware removal tool I was able to remove unknown software that was making ads pop up when using Safari. So the y don't pop up anymore. The problem now is that when I open safari It is still downloading websites and after awhile it freezes the browser. I have to constantly go to Safari Preferences to remove them and then the browser will start working again. What can I do to stop this?

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line

Why does the slider disappear every time I use it to move the window (Windows: FF 32.0)?

Why does the slider disappear every time I use it to move the window (Windows: FF 32.0)? How do I get the slider back?

Problem solved: I have been using Walnut for Firefox ver. 2.0.28 theme. For some reason this has been causing the problem. Started FF in Safe Mode, and the slider problem disappeared. Then proceeded to re-enable the Walnut theme: the problem reappeared. Disabled Walnut theme and reenabled all my other add-ons (about 6 of them). Still no problem. So, clearly there is a problem with the use of Walnut theme in FF ver. 32, at least on my Windows 7 installation.
Thanks for all your suggestions and help. Good job, all!

When using Final Cut Express, the video in the Viewer window looks fine, but when I insert the video into the Canvas Timeline it appears to lose resolution, and look fuzzy and blurry. Are there preferences or settings for the Timeline that cause this?

When using Final Cut Express, the video in the Viewer window looks fine, but when I insert the video into the Canvas Timeline it appears to lose resolution, and look fuzzy and blurry. Are there preferences or settings for the Timeline that cause this?

Thanks David. I had to convert the mts file to Quick Time (using AunSoft Conversion software) before I could import it into Final Cut Express. And I made sure I kept the size of movie (720 X 480 with letterbox) to compliment what I set my Panaconic AVCCAM video recorder at (720/60). Even after I fully render it, it still looks fuzzy in the Canvas window at the right that plays what I have editing down in the Timeline. A friend that edits some using Final Cut Pro helped me to narrow things down to this problem. This is also wierd. If my Viewer window at the left is set to 200% to get the person's head the same size in the Canvas window at the right we needed to put it to 400%. Does this make any sense. We think we need to control the Time line resolution somehow but cannot find any options from my manual, or the help, or in the various drop down menus. Do you have any clue? What is going on?

IBook disappears from network when using Airport

Hi there. Until recently my wife and her iBook have happily shared files back and forth with my Mini, and she has been able to use my shared printer. Now, when she's connected to the internet through our Airport Graphite, our computers no longer show up on each other's network, and she can't find my shared printer.
I'm not sure if I have a software or hardware problem, but I can't figure it out on my own.
We have two desktops (a Mini and an eMac) connected to a cable modem through an ethernet hub. The Airport Graphite is also connected to the hub. The Airport is configured to distribute IP addresses, and ethernet client computers also share a single IP address (using NAT).
If we unplug the ethernet cable from our eMac and plug it into my wife's iBook, the iBook and Mini can once again "see" each other, and my wife can access my shared printer. When we unplug the ethernet from the iBook and go back to using the Airport, the iBook can still access the Internet, but it disappears from the local network.
I'm hoping there's a simple explanation that I'm missing. I'd be grateful for some help!
Mac Mini 1.2 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Thanks so much for responding, Tesserax.
My hub is a "Linksys 5-Port Workgroup Hub," model EW5HUB.
The cable modem is plugged into the port called "Uplink." The Mini is plugged into port 1, the eMac into port 2, and the Airport into port 3.
The network has functioned properly in the past (the iBook used the printer plugged into the Mini, and we shared files back and forth). Recently, I had to reset the Airport, but I thought I had reconfigured it correctly. In short, Airport configuration would be my main suspect here.
I'm afraid I don't know what (if anything) is supplying NAT service. I assumed it was something the Airport does -- allowing it to sort out the flow of data to the various computers. The question is beyond my expertise level because I don't really understand what NAT service is. Is the problem in my Airport's Network configuration?
My ISP assigns IP addresses dynamically, so my Airport doesn't have a static IP address. However, my ISP allows for only two IP addresses, so I need my ethernet computers to also share the Airport's address.
I hope that, somewhere during my ramblings, a light has gone off in your more enlightened mind. Thanks again for your help!

Playlists disappear on iPhone when using iCloud

Help! My playlists disappear when connected to iCloud. This just started about 2 days ago.
First the basics:
On the Mac:
iTunes 10.5.1 (42)
"Your software is up to date" according to Software Update
iCloud is ON
Music and playlists are still on the Mac
On the Phone:
iPhone 4GS 64 GB
iOS 5.0.1
"Your software is up to date" according to General > Software Update on the iPhone
Settings > Music > iTunes Match is ON
Settings > Music > Show All Music is ON
Settings > iCloud > Account is Logged IN
Playlists DO show up when connected VIA USB and in Music > More > Shared (only comes up when connected via USB) -- The playlists will sync to the phone when Shared > My Library is checked.
I haven't lost any music but this makes it impossible to use my iPhone for playing playlists in the car since once the device is disconnected from USB it is disconnected from Home Sharing and the playlists disappear.
I've tried deleting and readding the content to a playlist and that does not help. I have tried to create new playlists and they will not show up on the iPhone. I have synced the phone without the USB cable (over WiFi) and that copied some art files over but there was no change in the playlist.
Anyone have anything similar happen? Any other ideas? I tried a search and nothing relevant came up.
Thanks for any help!

I was able to fix my issue, for now, by
- Making sure the playlists were still in iTunes and set as I wanted
- Backing up the iPhone VIA USB to iTunes
- Doing a restore of the iPhone from the backup I just made in iTunes
However, now I have to go and grab "from the cloud" all the songs that were removed from the phone backup.
At least for now I am back up.

When using an external projector, the only thing that shows up on the screen is my desktop screen

When I'm presenting using an external projector, the only thing that shows up on the view screen is my desktop screen. It will also display a powerpoint file, but only in slide show mode. No other files (word, excel, etc) or safari will display. How can I get what I see on my computer screen to show up on the external screen?

Check out this support site about using two monitors, since that's what you're doing when you're projecting:
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202351
You can either set it to "mirror" or arrange the monitors side by side. Then when you want to show the working window on your projector slide it in the direction you set as the second monitor. Many teachers will do this to show a video or powerpoint to their class while working on another document or answering emails.

Custom Text disappears on exit when using Dynamic Forms

If you have a dropdown list and you tick the box to "Allow Custom Text Entry" in a Dynamic form format, it will not hold the custom value when you leave that field.
If you save the Dynamic form as a Static Form the custom entries work fine.
I need help ASAP with this as it is very annoying.
Thanks in Advance

I need help with this. I followed these instructions to the T as far as I am aware but I cannot get it to work. I get the error message:
"Script failed (language is formcalc; context is
xfa[0].form[0].form1[0].#subform[0].DropDownList1[0])
script=addEnteredValue(sDropdown_XFA, svalue)
var oDD = xfa.resolveNode(sDropdown_XFA);
if ((null == sValue) || ("" == sValue))
return;
var sLBValue = "";
var bFoundValue = false;
for (var i = 0; i < xfa.resolveNode(sDropdown_XFA + ".#items").nodes.length; i++)
sLBValue = xfa.resolveNode(sDropdown_XFA + ".#items.#text[" + i + "]").value;
if (sValue == sLBValue)
bFoundValue = true;
if (!bFoundValue)
oDD.addItem(sValue);
oDD.rawValue = sValue;
addEnteredValue("form1.#subform[0].DropDownList1", gDropDownTemp.value);
gDropDownTemp.value = "";
Error: function 'addEnteredValue' on line1, column 38 is unknown. "
Obviously I'm doing something wrong. How do you make it recognize the addEnteredValue function? -- When I added "gDropDownTemp;" to the File-->Form Properties-->Variables tab it said that it MUST have a value so I put 0, it wouldn't allow me to not enter a value even though instructions say otherwise. I'm new to this and I know what I want but getting to that point is another story it seems. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How to open document from mac when using windows without transferring the file?

How can i open a document from mac when i am using windows without transferring it?

depend on the document program more then anything else really
when ever I open a doc with word it make a history for undo and redo action file in the same dir
with bootcamp you only have read not write access to the osx partition so it would fail to be able to create that file
but if you can get word or whatever program you use to open the file not to place a temp file in the same dir
or use a program which did not make any type of temp file or used a program where the temp file would be located elsewhere where you decide it would work file

How can I print using only black with the Lexmark Z810?

Mac OS X 10.6.8
Print Using 810 Series driver
Printer Driver Version: 10.6.4
I want to print using only the black cartridge. I'm out of color ink. However, I see no option to print using black only. Consequently, when I print a document, only the parts of it that are black with show up on the paper. Anything that has another color will not appear on the page. Is there a solution to this problem?

Print Options can be hard to find and sometimes seem to change locations depending on OSX version or printer model. Here is where it is on the print dialog on my mini with HP printer.

Sum of a sum when using Top N in the Group Sort Expert

Hi All,
I have a small problem I can't quite seem to work out.
I have a report where each line is for a particular Product, and is a summation of the Sales for that Product over several Locations. When you click on the line, it shows the breakdown of Sales over each Location.
I use the Group Sort Expert to display the Top N results, where the 'N" is set in a formula to a parameter passed in to the report, so the user can select the top 5,10,50 etc. Products across all Locations.
At the bottom of the report, I want to have a sum of a column of Sales $. I need that sum to only be a sum of the Top N records selected.
Since each line is a summation of the all the products for the Locations, what I need is a sum of that sum for the Top N, but Crystal will not let you add the sum of a sum, so I'm not sure how to accomplish this.
If I just do a sum of the underlying values I get a total for all the Products, regardless of the Top N.
Hope that makes some sense !
Many Thanks
Paul

Hi Sastry,
I tried your suggestion, thanks, but I don't think it's the answer. For a start Crystal will not let me do that, it pops up a message box when I try to run the report "A running total cannot refer to a print time formula. Details: Record Number". I also added the record number field next to the lines in the report to see what the result would be, and I don't think it would work anyway.
Here is an example using Units sold:
Product Name--LocationUnits Sold--Record Number
Product A -<All Stores>----8
Store A--1--
1
Store B--3--
2
Store C--4--
3
Product B--<All Stores>--3
Store A--2--
4
Store B--1--
5
Product C--<All Stores>--
1
Store A--1--
6
Note that only the bold lines are shown in the report,. If you click on the bold line, then the breakdown of the stores is shown. For the above example, I am showing the Top 2 units across all stores (so Product C is not shown at all), but there are actually 5 records, so if I used a formula where RecordNumber <=N, where in this case N=2, I would get a total units sold of 1 + 3 (records 1 and 2) which is incorrect.
I will have more of a think on this and see if I can find a solution, in the mean time, any other suggestions ? Is there some wya of checking if the line is visible maybe ?
Thanks for your time !
Paul

Problem with 0FIGL_VC1 when use constant selection in the query

Please kindly help me. I have this problem for 2 weeks already.
When I create a query from virtual cube 0FIGL_VC1 (balance sheets / p&l statements), if I use constant selection in any of key figure, my report could not display financial statment correctly.

Rows: 0GLACCEXT (financial statement item) << as hierarchy
Initially, the query is processed correctly.
However, based on the requirement from my customer, I really have to use "constant selection" for some of my columns. Whenever I do so, the query display incorrectly. (Some nodes of financial statement item just disappear. (it seem like all contra item will disappear.)
