How can CS2 not recognize spot colours in an imported .eps file?

Hello
I am using InDesign 4.05 on OSX10.4.11. I have been using InDesign since 1.52 and have always regarded the program as exceptionally bug-free apart from lately as I use CS2 more and more. I am reluctant to upgrade to CS3 just yet.
I am pretty sure I have never seen this behaviour before. If I import an eps of a logo which only consists of two spot colours, the colours are added to the swatches but show as CMYK. Of course if I preflight it then wrongly shows that the doc is CMYK only. If I then create a PDF and then check the PDF in seps view in Acrobat, the colours are showing as CMYK???? I have checked and rechecked the logo with the spot colours in it in Illustrator CS. They are 100% definitely showing as spot. If someone else told me this I would not have believed them - please tell me I am not going mad. What could cause this?
ps. I have another piece of extremely odd behaviour too, which I will do as a separate post.

propage,
I have no trouble at all placing that EPS in CS2. Both spot colours show up.
I distilled it and checked in Acrobat, too.
The only problem is that the lower right yellow bit is *not* a spot colour in Ai.
The detail that the colour names are added to the swatches when you import the EPS indicates that the spots are in there.
That leaves only the conclusion that something is wrong woth your Id document e.g. there are process-swatches of the same name before you place the eps.
>I take it I should abandon eps and move to ai?
Buko would certainly and definitely say so. That's why I quoted him ;)
Most of the rest of us think there are special workflows where working with eps still makes sense but the are rather few and when only Ai and Id are involved Ai is almost always the better choice.

Well, it might depend on the nationality of your keyboard, but on my US keyboard, the tilde ("squiggle") is above the TAB key; on a Mac, ⌘-TAB cycles through the active applications and ⌘-tilde cycles through the windows in the front application.
When you do a Find, Pages selects an instance of your search text (the next one after the current selection, I think, but I didn't check that). It doesn't make the document window the front window, though. If you click in the window to bring it to the front, it moves the selection (or insertion point) to wherever you click unless you click on or above the ruler. Try clicking at the top of the document window after you do a find; say somewhere near the document name. Now you should see the highlighted selection (your search text). If you click back on the Find window, the selection will go grey again, unless you hold ⌘ down while clicking.

How can I alter the display colours on ios7

How can I alter the display colours on my iphone and iPad. The new white grey with some bright colours is driving me mad. I have vision problems and this new theme is making it very difficult to use. Turning brightness down doesn't help.

The problem is that the nr. 3131 dosen't have a MAC/IP address, it was created in Directory Nr. not on the Device/add device, the nr was created to be able to call Avaya agents and the user to not see the personal agent nr ( 3131 ), only the name. The problem is when a place a call the nr from forwarding appears on the display instead the name I put ( Test ).

How can i NOT include top level keyword in the metadata of an image?

Hello,
I want to know how can i NOT include top level keyword in the metadata of an image. I know there is an option for not applying a keyword to an exported image, but is there an option for not applying the top level keyword to the actual image?
I have organized my geographical (by location) keywords like this:
Places
USA
New York
Miami
Spain.
If i add geographical keywords to all my images, all my images will have the keyword "Places", i dont think that it have any sence to have all your images with one keyword. How can i fix this? Any sugestion? i will appreciate it a lot any help or information that you could give me.
Excuse my english, i know it is not good. I hope that you could understand me.
Thanks,
Marcelo :)

Explicitly excluding a keyword only applies when "exporting". Unfortunately, there's currently no way to stop the keyword being written to the file when "Save Metadata to File" command is used. The natural reaction of users to this difference is to suggest that it is stupid. Nevertheless, there are good reasons why the difference exists:
1. "Export" creates a new file whereas "Save Metadata to File" writes the metadata back into the existing file.
2. There are very good reasons why certain keywords should not be written to file, and the example given in the OP is one. Saving metadata to file is more often used as means of backing up important image related metadata, independently of the catalog or allowing the metadata to be visible in other aplications. It would be rare that such a file would be shared with a third party, so the reason for not including certain keywords is less obvious. Actually, not including it can result in no end of confusion and grief. For example, if the top level (or any keyword) was excluded during the save metadata process then the other keywords would be orphaned when image is imported back into the catalog (e.g. buiding a new catalog).
The development team are aware of the need, in some circumstances, to exclude certain keywords when save metadata command is used. How and when the issue is resolved, without adding even more confusion/complexity, is some way off.

Does the order matter here?Because the photos will be sent for printing. If there is any other reason, can you please cite example.

how can i hold a spot in a clip, let the audio continue for a moment and then resume the clip and audio together?

you want to use the retiming tool. you can select what you want to hold, then use the "Hold" command (shift-H) to create a single frame of a default duration, which you can then change to whatever length you want by dragging the retiming handle.
Here's the page in the help manual that describes the hold feature in detail:

Had you never backed up the phone before? When you saw the iTunes logo and cable, the device was in recovery mode. The data was already lost. The only way to recover from that is to restore the device, which will delete all of your data. You will only be able to restore to your last backup, whenever that was. Sorry this happened, but this highlights the importance of doing regular backups. The backup is the only protection you have against a problem like this.

Once something similar happened to me. The external drives I had set up for FCP to use for some reason were not mounted, and FCP put all its render files on the main drive and I couldn't find them anywhere.
Go to applications, and control-click (and hold down) on your FCP icon; you should get a pop up menu that says "show package contents". Select that, select the "contents" folder, then the "mac OS" folder. See if your quicktime file is in there, or if you've got render files in the "render" folder or audio render files in the "audio render" folder that don't belong there.
That's where FCP sticks stuff when your documents FCP project folders are not available or when external drives you've selected aren't available.

How can I bulk delete songs from the playlist, if original file could not be found.

I deleted the original files from the Library iTines. The songs are still in the playlist. How can I bulk delete songs from the playlist, if original file could not be found. Thank.

Take a look at my FindTracks script. Download it and test it out on a few tracks first. Use the No option first time around to manually confirm each path that it wants to fix so you can see how it works. When you're happy it does what you want select a larger group of tracks to process automatically.

How can i change the background colour of all folder windows at once

There are, however, thousands of calendar apps available in the App Store. They use the same data that the built in app does. Perhaps one would better meet your needs.
Best of luck.

How can I change the grey colour of all window headings they're too hard to see?

how can I change the grey colour of all window headings they're too hard to see?

Hi Chris,
The only way that I know of to change the colour of the window headings, these,
is in the System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing > Display and change the White on Black settings, using grey scale in there to helps, but it also opens a hole lot of other issues as it reverses all colours throughout the system. You can switch it back and forth as shown on this setup screen.
Other than that, maybe changing the screen resolution so that all items are larger or zooming the screen when you require it by holding the Control button and scrolling the mouse or two finger scroll on the trackpad.
There may be, of course, a third party app that changes the colours by searching google.
Hope this helps
