How do I save a new color swatch?

I am trying to create a style for my charts and have created CMYK swatches to do so. How do i save the swatch information so i dont have to reenter the CMYK information every time i create a chart?

on your color pallette, there is a row of little white squares. If you drag the color swatch to one of those squares, it will stay there until you remove it. It will even stay there as you open more documents.
Hope it helps.

HOW can I change Indesign's default 'New color Swatch'?

It always comes up as 100C, 100M, 100Y, 100B and I usually have to drag all the sliders down to zero. BLACK in particular is the one that bugs me because a new color swatch is NEVER going to have 100% black unless you want a black swatch - you get a black swatch with every document whether you want it or not so what's the point?

You new swatch will start with whatever the definition is of the currently highlighted swatch in the panel.

Illustrator CS4 New Color Swatches Keep Shifting Values

Hi. I really need some help. I created 8 major panel designs for my first-ever tee shirts. For this project, I added up to 70+ colors to my existing standard CMYK swatch library, by naming them and marking them for global. Just to be on the safe side, I also made up my own directory in a separate document by making squares with their names next to them. I transferred these to each new document I created. I did all of this in Illustrator 10.
I finally got to upgrade several months ago to the Design Suite CS4 - Hooray! No problem in converting my files. I am having my tees printed in the direct-digital-to-fabric method. My printer said that I could change all my CMYK colors to RGB for a more vibrant rendering. And so I went in to each of my colors and manually changed them to RGB. I also changed my document format to RGB.
Several weeks ago, my eye registered that my favorite red didn't seem as red any more. And so it wasn't! I checked my swatch, and it was way off my original settings. So I changed them. The change didn't keep. It turns out that almost all of my colors were off their original CMYK settings!
So I started over again, by taking each color, and in most cases, making up a new color swatch with a slightly revised name. I made sure the colors reflected accurately both the CMYK and the RGB percentages. I DID NOT want to select as a spot color. Therefore, I kept the "Process" format, but selected RGB. I also deleted the old color swatch.
But the problem was still there -- within a span of several minutes, my "Red" changed both in the CMYK and RGB percentages, I checked 15 other colors I had just created, and their percentages were off also.
Needless to say, it is very important to me that my colors hold their value.
I thank you in advance for considering my challenge.

Kelly,
And so I went in to each of my colors and manually changed them to RGB. I also changed my document format to RGB.
Pick (almost) any colour in a document with CMYK Color Mode, copy into a document with RGB Color Mode, and see a change.
In other words: if you want to keep the colours, keep the colour mode; if you want to change the colour mode, recreate the colours, and expect some differences.
My printer said that I could change all my CMYK colors to RGB for a more vibrant rendering.
Maybe your printer needs a vibrant rendering, with a boot.
If the meaning was that the RGB colour gamut is larger, and therefore capable of more, and more vibrant, colours, which is true, that is what should have been said. It would imply creating new, fresh colours.

I purchased an iPhone 3 and had photos on it. Started having issues within 30 days and could replace it. Moved photos to back up on iCloud. did not restore new phone from back up how can i save the new photos and retrieve the old ones?

I purchased an iPhone 3 and had taken some photos on it. I started having issues within 30 days and could replace it. So I created an iCloud account and saved those photos as a back up on iCloud. I did not restore my new phone from back up because I did not realize I needed to restore and not just activitate it. How can I save the new photos, apps, and other stuff but retrieve the old photos?

If all you want is your old photos, you could backup your new phone using iTunes, then restore it from your iCloud backup, import the old photos to your computer, then restore it from the backup your made in iTunes returning your newer data to your phone. If you want your old photos on your phone, sync them there from your computer using iTunes. The process would look like this:
Connect your phone to your computer, when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on it and select Transfer Purchases; right-click again and select Backup.
Disconnect from your computer and go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings to return it to new
Go through the activation setup, choosing to Restore from iCloud backup. Make sure your phone is plugged into a charger and has access to wi-fi as this can take hours to complete.
When complete, without connecting your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to Preferences. On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
Now import the old photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083)
When done, open iTunes, right-click on the name of your phone on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose the backup you made in step 1.
Go to the Photos tab and select the photos you want to sync to your phone and sync.

InDesign CS4 crashes when selecting New Color Swatch

Any idea why InDesign would be crashing when I select New Color Swatch? I can Load Color Swatches or choose from the swatched in the menu, but if I try to add a new color it crashes no matter what type of document I am working on.

This is the sort of error, if happening in all files, that is usually fixed if you Replace Your Preferences

How can I create a new color in the calendar?

Good day,
I wanted the to create a new color in the default calendar from Apple, but I do not know how that goes.
Perhaps someone can explain to me how this works.
I would be very grateful for any advice.

If you mean you want to change a color of a calendar category or create a new one, you cannot do that, what is pre-loaded is what you get and cannot be edited.

How do I save a new password if it doesn't ask me if i want to save it?!

There was a password saved on a site. The site made me change the password. Firefox never asked me if i wanted to change it, i deleted it as i didn't know how to change it. Now it is not asking me if i want to save the new password... ?!

I have a similar problem which is not answered in the above link:

I used password manager to delete the old info. Now I do not know how to make it remember the new info. New username is there when I start typing it, but it does not give me the option to remember it, nor does it remember the password.
