How do I get my monitor to be the correct color?

I just got my laptop and I'm a photographer. It is very important to get my laptop similar in color to my photos. So when they are printed they look similar to most basic commercial printer (Walgreens etc) I had no problem on my old computer. My Satellite seems very bright and the people looked washed out. I used th ctrl, alt f12 key and there was a contrast adjustment. I just can't seem to get a nice natural color from the computer. Can someone let me know what they use or what looks good to them. The factory default seems way to bright and people look to bright?? Thanks so much in advance...

Hi Simcah, I have a similar problem. Have you found out any solution?
thanks, dan
You need to ask the printing service provider. Dealing with color totally depends on the printing process involved and of course the machines used.

How do you get a keyboard to show the correct keys

I'm using my wireless keyboard & mouse from my old PC. It's identified and works OK apart from some keys on it.
On the keyboard, the " character is above the number 2 and the @ is above the ' key. However, they are now swapped around, with the " appearing when I press Shift+' and the @ appearing when I press Shift+2. There are other issues with key on the keyboard and the character that is appearing...pressing end in an edit box does not take me to the end of the line, but rather the end of the page.
Any ideas?

You probably have a non-English keyboard.
To the top right of your screen you should see a US flag. That means the keyboard is using the US layout. If you click the flag you will see a menu item "keyboard viewer". There you can change the setting.
I regularly switch to the German keyboard layout if I have to write in German, and the switch back to US English.
I wouldn't do this, though, as when you switch to a different language setting, you lose certain letters or symbols. I'd get a new keyboard - it's not expensive.

How can I get Quick VPN to use the correct DNS server IP

Right now it is defaulting to 192.168.x.1 (my RV042) I need it to default to 192.168.x.4 (Domain Controller). I need to be able to resolve names because remote users will have to log into the domain. I can not statically assign a DNS server on their machines because they are mobile, will be using WIFI hotspots and or/ wired LAN's at home.
The rv042 is obviously the router and server1 is the domain controller (also the DNS server for my LAN)
If I use nslookup to find a host it will default to the rv042 IP, so if I force the server IP in this case I get resolution with 192.168.x.4
C:\Users\XXXX>nslookup PC1 192.168.x.1
Server: rv042.xxxxxxxxxxxx.local
Address: 192.168.x.1
*** rv042.xxxxxxxxxxxx.local can't find PC1: Non-existent domain
C:\Users\XXXX>nslookup PC1 192.168.x.4
Server: server1.xxxxxxxxxxxx.local
Address: 192.168.x.4
Name: PC1.xxxxxxxxxxxx.local
Address: 192.168.x.5
C:\Users\XXXX>
Everything works right if I could just set my DNS server to .4. I came across many many posts from back as far as 2006 with poeple asking for this feature. What gives Cisco???

Paypal URL redirects but adds in the word amp after the &. How to get Muse to redirect to the correct URL

Hi there. I have used the paypal email URL in my form submit buttons, but when testing them live, the URL changes and adds in the word amp after the &: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=KZUPJMDWGTUNY. It’s in my Adobe Muse form as this: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=KZUPJMDWGTUNY. How do I get Muse to redirect to the correct URL?

When I pasted the link in the first post it took out the &amp so I'll retype what Muse is doing ... it's changing he URL to ... https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=KZUPJMDWGTUNY which brings up an error page.

How can I get Activity Monitor to work?

I've searched the discussions to no avail, so I have this question: how can I get Activity Monitor to work? It launches and its window opens but then the spinning beachball appears. I've checked the Console and it shows that the Activity Monitor is attempting to fully launch but then it "exits" and then it tries to fully start up again, goes into an infinite loop or something. Issued a "force quit" succesfully. I've deleted the Activity Monitor's .plist, no joy. What to do? Thanks!
I'm running 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro (late 2011)

I wish I could be more positive but I have no experience of MacBook Pros and whether their demands on the system differ from my simple iMac. If you have the time to scour through 'More like this' ( to the right of your initial post) and the links within it, you may find leads.
I also found this thread via Google which in parts seems to echo your troubles. I hope it helps; thank you for the star.

How do I get my printer to match the colours of the image as I see it on screen?

How do I get my printer to match the colours of the image as I see it on screen? My HP Office Jet Pro L7680 printer tends to print my images with a bias towards red compared to the image I am seeing on screen with Lightroom 5 using a Mac with Retina 5 screen. Would appreciate any expertise on how to calibrate the printer to the screen

You have two options. The first method costs nothing but is not as accurate and the second means buying hardware and investing some time. The fastest way to get things closer is to download the color profile from the printer manufactures site for the printer and paper combination you are using. Install it on you Mac and relaunch LR. This is best when the paper and printer are both from the same company; in your case, HP. If the paper is not made by HP, you can often find profiles for your paper/printer by going to the paper maker's web site and doing a search for the appropriate profile.
The other alternative is to purchase a piece of hardware such as the ColorMonki which can be used to not only profile your monitor for color balance but also you printer/paper as well as your camera. When all of your devices agree on what color 118,118,118 means, you get the same color from capture to print but this is also an expensive option and there is a lot of time involved in building your own color profiles. The results however, are much more accurate.
Once you have a color profile installed, the next step involves doing soft proofing. Once you have your image looking the way you want it to in LR, open it in the soft proof option. This will show you how your print will look using the color profile for the paper/printer you are using. During the process, you will be shown the print on your screen which may look off. Use the small triangle in the upper-right corner of the histogram to turn on the out-of-gamut warning. This will highlight any parts of your image which contain colors your printer can't handle. Use the rendering intent options to decide how you want these colors handled (relative or perceptual). Check them both and use the one you like best. You can also make additional changes at this point if required before you generate the JPG image. Make sure to save it as a max quality JPG using the sRGP profile. Once saved, you can send this image to your printer or even to a lab as the process is the same.The attached link should get you to a video showing how to use the ColorMunki hardware/software but, more importantly, shows you how to prepare an image for printing (in this case, for a lab) using soft proofing with the color profile created (or downloaded).--Great Color from Your Lab Prints – Every Time! on Vimeo

How can I get Lync 2013 to "remember" the size of my conversation window

Each time I open a Lync conversation, the window size always reverts to a default that is too small. With Lync 2010, a new conversation remembered the size of the window from a previous conversation. How can I get Lync 2013 to remember the
size from a previous conversation? I have a multi-monitor setup and would also like for Lync to remember the location of the last conversation window. Lync 2010 remembered both the size and location. I have Lync 2013 and Windows 7.

I believe what you're seeing is expected behaviour. The Lync 2013 client appears to remember the position of the conversation window relative to the Lync client itself. It seems like it is noting it's screen co-ordinates based on the clients location. This
works fine for single monitor, but ultimately means that a conversation window cannot remember it' location if it is on a different screen to the Lync client itself.
Regarding the window size - I believe this has come up before and is not something you can change either natively in Lync, or through registry manipulation.
Kind regards
Ben

How can I get a new copy of the Voicemail app for my LG Spectrum?

I cannot find an answer on MyVerizon. Any ideas?
Thank you,

OK, at least 3 is working.
I don't know how you have a Tape Recorder icon on your Home Screen. I cannot add one myself. But, I am running Holo Launcher in replacement of the default LG "Optimus" User Interface. It's much better in my opinion.
Try long pressing the icon and select Edit and maybe you can change some attribute of the icon.
Another thing you could do, is long-press an empty area of your desktop, to add an icon. Select Shortcut, then Select Contact, and scroll through your contact list and choose the contact that you added for *86.
You realize if you have voice mail you haven't heard, there is a tape recorder icon in the notification bar, which you touch and pull down, then press it to dial voicemail.
If that functionality doesn't work, you MIGHT want to consider doing a factory data reset on your device, but that is going to nuke all your personalizations and cause you work to set up again.

How can I get my ES2 loops to play correctly? I keep getting the message that the audio is not found when I drag the loops from my audio browser even though they play fine in the preview.

How can I get my ES2 loops to play correctly? I keep getting the message that the audio is not found when I drag the loops from my audio browser even though they play fine in the preview.

It's exactly as I stated. Whenever I try to drag these kinds of loops (ESX24 / software instrument loops? the ones marked in green with the white music note next to them) from the loop browser into the timeline a message comes up saying Audio Not Found for that loop. And a new track is created automatically when loops are dragged into the timeline, so I'm not creating some other random / synth instrument track so I'm not sure what the deal is... But perhaps I'll try creating a software instrument track first and then drag the loop into that track and see what happens - maybe there's something with the default settings that automatically creates audio tracks whenever loops are imported?

How do we get Apple to respond to the CD burning problem?

How do we get Apple's answer to the problem so many of us are having burning CDs?

Apple responds to problems with their software though KnowledgeBase articles and/or software updates. Except on very, very rare occasions, Apple tech support people will not respond in the Discussions forums. If you want to communicate with Apple tech support directly, you would have to call their tech support forum (the call will not be free).
Have you seen this KB article?
iTunes for Windows: Additional troubleshooting for burning issues
It may not help, but if you haven't seen that article, it's worth a look.
You might also try as a temporary test disconnecting the Lite-On drive and setting the Samsung as master and then see if you can successfully burn from iTunes.
Regards.

Most Windows users don't.
Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer.
