Having trouble with Color Swatches - InDesign CS5 to CS6

This may be a repeat - I'm not sure I posted properly the first time.
Having trouble with the Swatches in CS6. When I add our institution's colors, they look dull/gray in CS6. I know it's not just my screens because I created a quick EPS in CS5 for comparison. When I add the EPS file to my doc, the colors pop into the Swatches box but they are clearly different colors. The most remarkable is Pantone 484, which used to be a bright scarlet. Now it's a strange, dull mauve.
I took a screen shot to show a colleague with more experience, but he's stumped. There are very few of us that use InDesign on our campus and we're all self taught. Our tech folks usually come to US for solutions.
I did try the instructions under "Display or Output Spot Colors Using Lab Values" in the Help menu, but nothing changed. That seemed to be the only applicable FAQ that I could find on my own.
Here is the relevant chunk of the screenshot I took - can anyone see what's gone wrong? Color blocks are "old" colors, next to Swatches which show the "new" hues.
Thanks for any help!

I am running windows 7 64bit.
Had no problem downloading adobe photoshop cs5 for a trial.
Ive tried
internet explorer many times.

I even tried a turrent of the trial! (Which is way bigger than it should be so when it got to about 6 hours and only like 10% done I gave up and deleted.
Just a note. I can't have my internet on for 20 hours straight. With other downloads of this size I just have to pause over night and resume in the morning.
But this one...I pause, over night, I don't even turn my laptop off, And 10 hours later, I resume, and guess what? It starts over.
Same problem everytime.
Can someone please help or at least tell me what I am doing wrong with the pause botten?

I am having trouble with colors in a font converted to a pdf.

Hi all,
I am using PSE 8 and having an issue when converting an image to PDF.
I have text all in black on the PSD and when I convert it to a PDF the very tips of the first and last letter are white.
I need to have the document in PDF to upload to printer.
Any advise?
Thanks in advance for any information provided.
EDIT: I can supply a picture of the issue if someone thinks that will be helpful. I am new to the forum and an amateur on Photoshop.

This is what gypsy curse looks like in acrobat reader after saving as a pdf from pse 8 on a mac.
Maybe you should try resetting the Type Tool or resetting the pse 8 preferences and see if one of those makes any difference.
Resetting the Type Tool
With the Type tool selected, click on the small down-turned arrow to the left of the Font Lisrt in the tool options bar and click on Reset Tool
Reset the pse 8 preferences
Press and hold down the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after starting the launch of the pse 8 editor
Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop elements settings file
Press Yes

Premiere pro cc having trouble with color corrected clips

I've been working on a project for a few days and today when I opened premiere pro it gave me a warning about what software it had been running with and how it was no longer available. I'm sorry I've already forgotten the name of the software, but I know I didn't remove anything from my laptop. When I began watching the playback I noticed that color corrected clips were very jumpy and didn't play smoothly, but the ones that had not been color corrected were fine. There were also two lines at the top of my timeline, a red one over all the jumpy clips and a yellow one over the clips that played through completely. This is my first time using premiere pro so I'm not sure what it means or how I could fix it. It may be worth noting that my laptop isn't bad but I don't think it's necessarily the best for editing. Is it possible that memory space or hardware within the laptop are the issue? Any advice will be appreciated, thanks.

Just me today I guess.
The solution to this problem is simple. Download and install the latest Adobe PPro CS3 3.2.0 patch. 50 Mb download, 20 second install time. Everything works great now!

Having trouble with Hyperlinks in Indesign CS6 Can Anyone Help?

I'm creating an ebook. I've created my hyperlinks - like I always do - Hyperlink destination for Chapter Number and New Hyperlink in the Table of Contents. It works when I check it in Indesign but when I export the epub file and open it in Digital Editions or Calibre there is no evidence of a hyperlink. As if I didn't create any. Tried everything.
Could it be something in the Microsoft Word doc. I imported into Indesign?
Appreciate your help.

Ask in the ID forum.

Are you having trouble with text in InDesign CC?

My text keeps disappearing when I'm working on a document. To return it, I have to resize the frame or recolour it black. Is it a glitch?

Hi Saucott,
Please double check if frame is becoming overset text.
If this is not the case then please post a screenshot.
Looking forward to your reply.

I have been having trouble with inserting pages in a document in indesign

having trouble with inserting pages in a document in indesign

You're going to give us more information for us to help you.
What operating system? What version of InDesign? What happens when you insert a page (and how are you choosing to insert a page)? Does it happen with just one file, or does also happen on a clean new file?

I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended and am having trouble with it.

I just reinstalled Photoshop CS5 Extended from my original disk because I was having trouble with it. I did do an uninstall before installing. Every time I quit Photoshop I get this message: "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders." Can you tell me what to do to fix this? I went to get info and made changes to read and write, but it made no difference. Thanks for your help.

Some folders are hidden in the Finder. Use the "Go to Folder" command for that.
Go menu > Go to Folder, enter:
/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings

I'm working with Illustrator CS5 and am having trouble with basic graphics textures.

I'm working with Illustrator CS5 and am having trouble with basic graphics textures. The illustrator drawings look fine with the pattern fills and when I bring the drawing into quark 9.1 they are still fine. When I print the quark file to lo res pdf drawing is still fine, but when I print to hi res pdf (press quality for print) the patterns disappear. I cannot figure out what the problem is.
just a note. Other textures and artistic fills work fine. It seems to be just the basic ones. I'm wondering if for some reason they may not be saved completely in my libraries?

Its just a drawing in black and white with some basic graphic texture to show “dirt” The pattern consists of a bunch of small lines. I save the file as an eps. And bring it into quark. When I print from quark I say print to pdf as press quality. I don’t think the problem has to do with acrobat because I’ve never encountered these problems before CS5. These drawings have been around for years and all of a sudden they don’t work.
Does this help?

Do you even know how to nuke and re-set Photoshop's preferences, colorplak? Your last post seems to reveal that you don't understand what I'm talking about. Here's a link you can click on:
Preference file functions, names, locations | Photoshop CC
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CC Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
Note for Photoshop 14.1 and later: If you use Generator and reset your Preferences, Generator is disabled. Choose Preferences > Plug-ins to turn it back on.
Video: Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here.
Mac OS
Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

I'm having trouble with how the font/font size appears once its in InDesign.

Help! @I'm having trouble with how the font/font size appears once its in InDesign. It looks good in Word, then I make my PDF, place it and it suddenly looks different. It's frustrating because not all of the documents look that way, creating a very inconsistent look. What am I doing wrong?

Sure. The first screen shot is the PDF after it's placed in InDesign. The second one is the PDF.

Having trouble with image processor...help please!

HI there...First off I just bought a new iMac and haven't a clue what I'm doing so my problem could be related to that. While I'm waiting for Adobe to transfer over my platform I downloaded the trial of CS5 Extended to get me started. I'm having trouble with the image processor...I choose file/scripts/image processor...the dialog box comes up and I choose use open files and then try and choose the folder I want to save them in. I choose my folder and hit run and it keeps telling me specify folder destination. I can't for the life of me figure this out...what am I doing wrong? It always worked fine for me on my PC and CS3. I can't handle saving each image individually in the new folder...
Thanks!!

I haven't renamed anything as far as I know. I made a new folder when I hit Folder option and it's highlighted as well as the path shows up in the processor box. Just when I choose run it tells me to specify a folder. The only thing I can think of is that maybe something messed up b/c I'm copied the files and folders over from my PC but it let me save as on the mac. Also the folder I'm choosing to put them in is on the Mac harddrive. IDK...

Problems with transparent objects InDesign CS5.5

Hi, I have troubles with using transparent objects in InDesign CS5.5 (Win7):
If there is a transparent object in the background, is problem to move with another objects over this area. The object moving over the area with transparency "erases" objects below: texts, boxes.... They are not in fact erased, this effect tooks only for the moment of movement and little bit longer. I have to wait for a while and after it is ok, but the work is slower and software is not working fast as I was got used in older versions.
This trouble is not a problem of my computer (I have a new one with 16GB RAM, i5 processor), the same trouble with the same InDesign is on my laptop.
Updates of InDesign are automatically installed.
Can you give me some advice?
Thanks, Petra
this is screenshot - I moved with blue object - below you can see trails of "erasing"

Yes, exactly, looks like glitch in the video. After I stop moving with object, everything is ok again. But not immidiatelly, there is a little delay (1 or 2 seconds). It doesn´t demage my work, it´s only glitch effect. But it delay me in work, it´s not pleasant to work with this glitch effects

Im having trouble with my zen microph

<FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#336600 size=4>Im having trouble with my new Zen Microphoto. I turned it on a couple days ago and it froze at the startup screen, and it just says creative on the screen, and you can't do anything about it. I read the faqs and product help stuff that told me to go to recovery mode and select something like clean files. I did that and it says "Scan Disk...". Ive been waiting for like 8 hours, and i need help. I have like 800 songs, so im wondering if that's the reason it is taking so long. Well if you can help me i would greatly appreciate it.

I didn't have this issue with my new ZMP but if you are using it for the very first time and this happens, bring it back to the store and get a replacement. Test it out directly at the store to avoid anymore troublesome issues.

Having trouble with camera profiles in LR3

Anyone having trouble with accessing the camera profiles from the drop down menu in the develop module/camera calibration section of LR3? The only choice I have is "embedded." After I created a custom with passport color checker it now only offers "profile" as a choice. ANy thoughts?
Thanks,
Tom

Okay, that is different. I have seen a similar discussion in another thread (I think) in the Lightroom forum. It might have been this one. It seems to have been specific to Canon cameras. I don't have an answer. Just one question, however. Are you using standard CR2 files, or are you using the sRaw format? As I was reading the other thread, I was wondering if that could have been part of the problem.
