Going out to Print.....what's this CYMK thing??

This is perhaps a question for the full Photoshop group but this is a much more friendly group and I'm sure someone will have the answer anyway.
For the first time ever I've been asked to send out a file to a printers to make xmas cards. I spoke to the Printer and he wants a CYMK flattened TIFF.
Flatten and TIFF I'm ok with but I'm not sure about the CYMK bit. BTW: I do have Photoshop CS as well as Elements.
What do I need to do? (Apart from panic :-) )

Colin,
That's CMYK, it stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black (K). It is the basis for all full-color commercial printing, and the order that color is layed down by a printing press (usually). What your printer is asking for is a color-separated image - but why?
Without getting into the differences between additive and subtractive color, all digital images are viewed in some form of RGB (red, green, blue) until they are printed. When you send the image to your desktop printer, the driver converts it to CMYK (or CCMMYK in the case of a six-color printer) so that the printer can print the image. When the image is converted from RGB to CMYK is when uncertainty is introduced.
Basically, your printer is telling you to do the conversion in PS CS so that you can see the color shift after the conversion and make sure that you don't want to tweak the image any further before printing. In fact, many color specialists do their color correction AFTER the image is converted to CMYK, so that the results are far more reliable.
Once you send the files to your printer as CMYK, then they can generate printing plates - one each for C, M, Y, and K, which are placed on the press. Then they can print your piece. Please keep in mind that this is a very simplified explanation.

What's this CLASSPATH thing?

I am really new to Java. I'm at the very start of a book titled "Teach Yourself Java" and I'm trying execute the first example. This is it:
class Example1 {
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.println("This is the output from Example1");
I downloaded and installed Java SE into:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_11
I defined folder C:\Java Applications and put my first file in there titled Example1.java. I'm Windows XP PRO BTW.
At first it wouldn't compile because it couldn't find command javac. Based an another thread here I went into Start | Control Panel | System | Advanced | Environment Variables and updated variable PATH by adding to the end of it ;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_11\bin. It now compiles. But when I try to execute it with command
java Example1.java I get error Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError.
I've read a dozen threads on this problem and most say something about adding a set CLASSPATH or a -cp command between command java and Example1.java. I've tried about everyone of the solutions but no luck. Where exactly is the main class it can't find? What do I need for it to find it when I execute it?

What does this "Provisioning" thing?

under Settings, General, scroll down and right above the "Reset" tab there is a "Profile" tab that says "Headlight Testers". When you touch that it takes you to the "provisioning" screen That shows a large image of the "Settings" icon and says
HeadlightTesters
Apple Inc.
Verified(in green) and a "Remove" button in red next to it.
Then under that says:
Received August 13, 2008
Expires August 13, 2009
Any idea what this is?

Yes that MUST be it......I am using beta software that I and the developer have been using and testing before its next release. I had a small feeling that is what it couldve been. Thanks for ensuring me i wasnt going crazy (well i am buuuut.....) lol

So what's this SDK thing about?

I've heard about this SDK program but I don't really know what it does. Can someone please fill me in?

The date i've seen listed on multiple rumor sites is February 26th. However, the event rumored to occur that day may not be for the SDK seeing as other (less reliable) rumors push it back to WWDC 2008. Most people speculate that at this event the ipod touch/ iphone SDK will be released along with the new MBP. I think it could be a MacDock, for use with the macbook air. That would really increase MBA sales and would be possible seeing as apple has allegedly received the patent (and i've seen the patent submission) it's like an imac with no guts, that the MBA slides inside of.

What's this new thing I'm seeing in my emails which have pictures attached?

I sent myself some pictures from one email to another but when I opened the email under each photo the was this box under it that had this... ATT00003 and under that it says 23bytes. I have not noticed this before iOS 6. Any one have an idea?

Also at the very bottom of the email it says "This message was downloaded as plain text" then under that it says "Download full message" if you tap that and download full message it disappears.

My MacBook pro completely froze while I was using safari and after a force shutdown now on startup reaches apple logo screen but goes no further. What could cause this?

While browsing on safari earlier today I had about 10 tabs open some with YouTube.
I was on a flash website browsing and the system froze and the spinning wheel came Up on the mouse.
I tried to move the mouse to get to the force quit in safari but then the mouse froze too, after a minute I held down the power button and turned off the laptop.
Now I tried to turn it back on, it turns on and loads up as far as the white screen with the grey apple logo and goes no further?
What does this mean, how can I solve it? I'm in panic as all of my school notes are on it, any help or advice would be muh appreciated!

Do you have backups of all the data on the startup drive? If not, do nothing else until you've backed up that data, if you still can.

My iPhone 5 speaker is going out intermittently.

My speaker seems to be going out intermittently. For example, this morning my phone was connected to my alarm clock and it odd not play music when my alarm went off. It was silent. After disconnecting it, I received a call but there was no ring or vibrate. I thought the phone must have been muted but it was not. This is not the first time this has happened. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Hello, janel51.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is an article I would recommend taking a look at. Try all of the steps in this article and if you are still experiencing the issue, see step 9.

Hw to find out the Print program name for SF?

HI Guys,
I have a Smart form in SRM system. i wanted to find out the print program for this. i know we can find out with Table TNAPR, But this table is not existed in SRM System for my client. Any alternate solution for this..?
Pls let me know.
Akshitha.

Hi
Byusing the Tables Tnapr & TTXFP u can get the details of driver program of your script or smartform
Or
Goto NACE->select the Application type(EF-purchase order)->select output types->NEU for new PO printout->double click on process routines_> sscroll right->specfiy ur form and print proggram there(instead of MEDRUCK give ZMEDRUCK)->save
Nace is for message control settings. Say if u want to trigger a Smartform or an Idoc or any other customized program u can do the message control settings.
Say at the time of Sales Order creation or updation u want to trigger a Smartform, then u have to follow the following steps:
Goto NACE
Select application V1 and then click Output Type.
create a new Output type or copy the existing one abd save it with new name
then in Processing Routine Mention the driver program name and in Form routine mention the main subroutine name.
In Smartform mention your SMartform name and also the layout if u have ceated.
Again go to NACE and Select application V1 and press Procedures.
here out of the many procedures u have to select the right one and attach your Output Type to it.
You can also create a condition record..Say if u want to trigger this Smartforms for Sales Order of particular type.

Font for Print out and Print Preview

Hi all,
I am working in SAP R/3 4.6C and using SmartForm.I have a trouble :
I uploaded Arial Font into System Font and Printer Font and i want to use this font for print out and print preview.But this font is only applied for print out and the print preview uses still Courier Font not Arial as I want.
So, anybody tell me why and give some idea to solve this problem.
Thanks .

Hi,
There is no arial font option in 4.6..but it 4.6 scriptforms arial option is there,but it will not work..it will give some other font...
Mainly 4.6 version does not support ARAIL font..
4.6 does not support all the fonts which are avilable in MS-WORD..only few fonts are uploaded into SAP 4.6 syatem...this is the problem
Regards
Kiran

I just hooked up my Canon MP830 printer/scanner/fax to my MAC and can print but can't scan. Anyone out there know what to do with this?

Have you downloaded the approriate Snow Leopard drivers for that printer? Make sure you get the appropriate and latest MP Navigator, as you start scans from the computer, not the all-in-one. Get them from http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mp_s eries/pixma_mp830#DriversAndSoftware

HT4534 I installed facetime on my computer in May 2011. It worked great at first,but now the volume goes out when I am on calls.What can I do to stop this from happening? Its not my speakers,I have used Skype and Google+ and the volume never goes out.

The volume on my facetime goes out very frequently. I can hear the person just fine, but they can not hear me. I have checked my app store to see if there have been any updates to the version of facetime that I bought in May 2011 and it's not. Is there anything that I can do to fix this problem?
By the way it is not my speakers. I have used Google+ and Skype, and they both work just fine and the volume does not go out.

Thanks, it seems that it doesn't like to play games, which is a bit of a bummer as i bought this specifically because it was capable of doing that. To be fair, it is capable... I just need to get used to a sound like sitting by a washing machine on spin cycle... Wish they would make people aware of this in the Apple Store, its very misleading and not at all desireable.
