Hi, I'm new to indesign - transparency help!

Hi, I'm just designing my first mag for a client and I have two queries.
The first is an indesign error message query and the second a prepress query.
1.When I output as small file (for proofing purposes) size I get a transparency message. (See attached screen grab of indesign message.) I don't know what it means and whether this will effect printing in any way if I just ignore it ....
Also, one one spread where I have the warning I have an image that goes across the spread. The printer has said that the sky in the image on the right hand page side is different in colour to the sky slightly on the left hand page and has asked if I have put a transparent object on it?? When I view the spread in adobe it looks fine but on the printers prepress system there is a slight difference.
Are the two things connected or am I just worrying over nothing :-) Advice needed as go to press next week and don't want any nasty surprises for the client.
Working in Indesign CC.
2. When I uploaded a few test pages to their prepress system I got some warnings regarding image resolution which I understand, but there is a warning for something called:COLOURSPACE ICCBASED was used and COLOURSPACE RGBBASED was used. I have no idea what that is? Can anybody help explain that? See 2nd image attached for pre press error message.
Thanks!

Thanks Willi, it's already set as that. And thay have asked for pdfs in PDF/X-3 which I have supplied.
When I look at my pages in the page view box of indesign on some of them there is a chequered box to the side of each page which when I roll my mouse over it says 'This page has a transparent object' but I can't see any transparent object when I try and find it on the page :-(

InDesign Transparency Effects - Problems with Image Quality and File Size

Hello,
We are experiencing new problems exporting InDesign files to PDF.
To summarize, though our largest workflow is to create files for offset printing, we also deliver our work to PDF for mounting on a website so our clients can download directly from the web. Our new problem is Transparency Effects, and creating a PDF that will both have a high quality (or resolution), and be a small file size.
We are working with multiple page documents (24 to 48 pages), and would very much like to work with InDesign Transparency Effects. However, after spending much time testing a variety of PDF types, we are finding there is a radical difference between quality and file size. I was curious if anyone has had these problems, and if there is a simple answer. InDesign is an incredible program that allows us to design on the fly with Transparency Effects, but, if we are going to experience these problems, we will have to eliminate these wonderful tools.
Can you help me or lead me to information online that will help.
Thank you,
Lain

Please don't post in multiple forums. Your question has nothing to do with the PDF language and specifications, but rather PDF workflow or InDesign. I've responded to your other posting and am closing this thread.

InDesign CS3 Help Menu opens constantly

The InDesign CS3 Help Menu opens constantly every time I click anywhere in a document to do anything.
Such as draw a box, insert type, anything. It virtually renders the program unuseable. I click to make an addition to a doc, travel up to the help menu to close it, do my thing, then repeat for the next action. Reinstalling has not stopped this. I cannot disable the Help Menu (which would be a fine solution BTW). I cannot afford to upgrade to CS4 right now. I am not sure that would stop it anyway. Photoshop, Illustrator, no other program in the CS3 suite exhibits this behavior. Anybody got any ideas? I recently recreated my whole OS and all programs on a new hard drive out of necessity. InDesign was doing this before that rebuild, and it does it now (after the reinstall). CS3 was reinstalled clean. That did solve a serial # issue with Acrobat where it wouldn't launch. I didn't transfer anything from the old hard drive except e-mail and internet settings.
Mac Pro Quad
Leopard 10.5.7
4 gigs ram
2 terrabytes internal hard drive space (four drives).
Thanks for any help in advance, I appreciate your time.

Are you using the default keyboard shortcut set or a custom one? Also, are you using any special mouse, keyboard or tablet input devices?
Try going to Edit->Keyboard Shortcuts->Help menu Product Area and see what the default Help shortcut is. Perhaps it has been set to something crazy like "mouse click". You may just set the Keyboard Shortcuts back to [Default] set and see if that does the trick too.
Alternatively, something either software or hardware related in your setup is frequently triggering that event, which may be the case if you have a non-apple kbd, mouse etc installed.

Hello Friends, I am new in InDesign Java Script

Hello Friends,
I am new in InDesign Java Script. I want to edit the page's master text Frame Object through Java Script. Any Idea regarding this will help me a lot.
thanks in advance

Have you read any of the documentation? It doesn't seem so :-)
Vivek Singh, the documentation is a great tool for understanding object model. Once you got the main concept of hierarchy between objects, accessing objects is quite a child game.
I am not meaning scripting is easy but have a look on the documentation, it's a essential starting point. I bought too the Peter Karhel's guide
http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596528171/index.html
it's really cheap regarding to the quality of the learning.
Welcome in this world.
BTW, masterspreads is a property of document. So you should work with something like :
app.activeDocument.masterSpreads[0].xxx

InDesign CS4 Help is now live

Even though InDesign CS4 hasn't shipped yet, weve just posted InDesign CS4 Help on the Web:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/index.html
We still have some work to do and bugs to fix, but we figured that youd get a lot of benefit from taking an early peek. Here's the topic describing the new CS4 features
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WSFE4C4DDD-967A-4cf0-845F-AB2B86FCC809a.html
Note that many links to video tutorials, other Help documents, and white papers are still not functional, and the search doesnt really work yet. And commenting isnt turned on yet. This should all be fixed when we ship.
You may also want to take a sneak peak at the new community custom search engine, which is still under construction:
http://community.adobe.com/help/?lbl=indesign_product_adobelr
Feel free to contact me if you have suggestions for improving Help. Also, if you find any sites that should be included in the custom search engine, let me know: [email protected]

That's sweet! It's been frustrating hitting the dead link instead of actual help.
Right off the top of my head, the one thing I immediately notice would be that friendlier URLs would be nice. Any plans for them in the future?
For example, the link to Searching Using GREP Expressions right now is:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WS1952D538-1335-4b1d-BA5E-FA5A176FDC9Fa.html
Would be nice if it was more like:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/search-using-grep-expressions.html
or even the whole path:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/text/find-change/search-using-grep-expressions.ht ml

In the previous version, the menu table in table options, there is an option that gives me the option: the Return key moves to next cell. I do not see this option in the new number. can you help me please?

Hi silvano,
If you use a regular pattern when entering values, press enter (return) after entering the last value in a row. That will take you to the first Body Cell of the next row.
Start in Cell B2
1 Tab 2 Tab 3 Enter
4 Tab 5 Tab 6 Enter
7 Tab 8 Tab 9 Enter
Now you are ready to type into B5 .
Another way that some people find easier is to enter one column at a time
Start at B2
1 enter
4 enter
7 enter
etc.
Now start with C2.
Use whatever suits your work flow.
Regards,
Ian.

On my MacBook with Lion Safari does start, does not react immediately after trying to open it. Installing a new Safari does not help. Removing parts of Safari in the Library did not help. Where can I find and remove all components (LastSession ...)?

How can I reset Safari with all components? On my MacBook with Lion, Safari does not start, does not react immediately after trying to open it. Installing a new Safari does not help. Removing parts of Safari in the Library does not help. Where can I find and remove all components as LastSession and TopSites?

The only way to reinstall Safari on a Mac running v10.7 Lion is to restore OS X using OS X Recovery
Instead of restoring OS X in order to reinstall Safari, try troubleshooting extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
If it's not an extension or plug-in issue, delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

The right way is to restore the backup that you should have kept of your broken laptop before it was broken to your new PC.

Nevermind, I got it working.
I ended up extracting the new vob within MPEG Streamclip, which gave me an m2v and an aiff audio. I multiplexed those two back together in FFMpegX which gave me a complete VIDEO_TS folder with BUP and IFO files I needed.

HT201272 I purchased an audiobook in Nov 2012 using iPhone 4S and then upgraded to iPhone 5 in Dec. Now I am not seeing the audio book in purchase history in iTunes. This means I am not able to get the book in my new iPhone. Please help

I purchased an audiobook in Nov 2012 using iPhone 4S and then upgraded to iPhone 5 in Dec. Now I am not seeing the audio book in purchase history in iTunes. This means I am not able to get the book in my new iPhone. Please help.

Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store. If you don't have it on your computer (audiobooks go into the Books part of your iTunes library) nor on a backup, then if it's still in the store you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then seeRecover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.
