IPhoto, Colorsync and Custom Printer and display profiles

I am attempting to understand the way that iPhoto 6 handles/uses custom ICC profiles that have been set in System Prefs>Monitors>Color, and in Utilities>ColorSync Utility>Devices>Printers.
In short, my monitor and printer have both been custom profiled, (Using System Preferences>Monitors>Color, I've set my custom monitor profile. Using the ColorSync utility I have selected my custom ICC profile for my printer). My camera is using SRGB. iPhoto is set to 'Add ColorSync profile'.
Page setup is set for the proper printer and paper size.
Using the Advanced Print Setup I have selected the appropriate paper type, turned off printer color correction, and activated ColorSync color correction.
I'm not certain that iPhoto and ColorSync are actually talking to each-other.
I come from a Photoshop background, where it is possible to set the printer profile at output, using 'Print with Preview'. This setup is intended for my parents though, so Photoshop is not an option.

1. > What sort of output problems are you encountering?
1) No output problems, I'm simply trying to figure out ColorSync interacts with iPhoto as there's little or no documentation on the topic.
2. > Also what printer are you using or your parents will be using?
2. My folks are using a Canon S820
More specifically, I'm hoping to use a custom printer profile, which has produced decent color accurate results with this setup in Photoshop.
This presents 2 questions, a) how to utilize the new custom printer profile in iPhoto (use color sync utility? by declaring the profile in the 'Current Profile' section for the device) and b) does iPhoto pay attention to the Current Profile selected profiles when printing?
Basically I'm looking for info regarding the behavior of iPhoto with regards to ColorSync. The lack of documented info is the problem.
I was told today when on the phone with Apple, that iPhoto pays attention to the default profile and not the Current Profile selection, but the rep didn't sound sure, so I'm not too confident in his response.
Also, it doesn't make sense to me that ColorSync Utility would allow you to select a profile and that iPhoto would then subsequently ignore it.
My folks are importing camera images that are tagged as sRGB, iPhoto is set to apply the profile per the advanced prefs, their monitor is profiled and the profile is activated.
iPhoto has plenty of documentation regarding the tagging of images with color profiles, and the display of these profiles with regard to Apple monitors (by using CameraRGB etc) but not a heck of a lot devoted to getting good prints at home through the use of ColorSync, and custom profiles.
ColorSync was designed for just this type of thing, and when you print, it's available as a color correction option in the Color Settings section of the print dialog box, but there's nothing written regarding using it effectively and properly.
Getting color accurate prints is not a 'Pro' feature, it's something that the Mac is supposed to embrace out of the box thru the use of ColorSync...that's the whole point of ColorSync a system wide color management workflow regardless of the 'Pro-ness' of the app or so I thought.
Every rep (AppleStore, Genius Bar, Creatives, AppleCare, iPhoto Software support) try to pass this of as a pro feature, and it is not– is something that ColorSync is supposed to be doing for the whole system, not just Aperture or Photoshop

I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

Iphoto does not use the proper display profile

Hello.
I just bought a 20' Apple Cinema display and connected it to my Macbook. I have noticed a very strange behavior of iPhoto and Preview.
I will first describe the expected (right behaviour).
When I drag an image opened in Adobe LG or Aperture from the Macbook display to the Cinema display (or the opposite) after a very small delay the color of the image adapts to the color profile of the display where it was dragged. Which is the correct the behavior.
With Preview or iPhoto this adaptation does not happen and the image is displayed with the right profile only on one of the 2 display. Besides being a very annoying issue, the very strange thing is how you can choose on which one of the displays the image gets displayed with the right display color profile:
- With Preview, the display color profile used (for both displays) is selected based on which is the default display in ColorSync display settings.
- With iPhoto, the display color profile used (for both displays) is selected based on which display the munu bar is (!!!). That is, if you want to have your image displayed with the right display profile on your cinema display, then you MUST have the menu bar on that display. If the menu bar is on the Macbook display the image on the cinema display will be displayed with the display profile of the Macbook display. Crazy!
You can try all of the above remembering that after any change you need to quit and reopen iphoto or preview or ColorSync for the settings to apply.
My question is: why neither iPhoto nor Preview act in the right way like Aperture or Adobe LG? Or at least, why iPhoto does not behave like Preview allowing me to choose where I want the menu bar without having this choice affecting the display color profile used to display my images?
Thank you,
Marco

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

HP Solution Center stopped working and HP Print and Scan Doctor cannot find my OJ4680

HP Solution Center came installed on my HP G60 notebook with Windows 7 premium 64 bit. It suddenly stopped working--it says it cannot run because the device installation is not complete. If I open HP Sup0ort Assistant it says the OJ4680 is ready and it is designated as the default printer in Printers and Devices but when I try to run HP Print and Scan Doctor it cannot find it--it can only find OJ4500 which I use when I'm in my second home. Please help me fix this as at this point I can't print or scan.

Thanks for the help and quick response. I haven't tried your solution yet because before I received your instructions I updated the drivers again and it appears to be working though I've had a message since then that I couldn't scan because my device was offline which was not true as I had just printed a document. I used HP Print and Scan doctor and followed the steps which included turning the device off and unplugging it for 60 seconds. I can now copy, print and scan but I still have the yellow triangles with exclamation points on both my PC and all in one. I'm not sure I want to do more at this point since everything is working well at the moment. BTW my laptop is set for automatic updates by HP and Microsoft, why didn't they keep this problem from occurring?

No Black Ink with a new cartridge and new printer and was working

I put in all new cartridges and everything was working just fine. I printed two black copies and then went into Settings to change to a lighter shade. Now no black copies at all. I went back into Setting and changed it to a darker shade (4) and still no black copies. I can print color - but no black ink appears with the color. It is a new printer. Please Help!!!! Thanks It is a HP Photosmart 6510....new printer. All was working fine until I went into Settings. I corrected what I had done but no black ink at all. HELP!!!!!

Hi patmcshamrock,
I understand that you replaced the ink in your new Photosmart 6510 and now there is no black in printing. I will try my best to help you resolve this issue.
In this document for Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages are steps that may resolve your issue.
I hope this helps, please let me know.
Thank you,

Sharepoint Forms and Custom Lists and Workflows using Sharepoint Designer

I created a Custom SharePoint List with a custom work flow. Basically the list does the following:
Group A initiates the list, fills in all the information
Group A will check a box based on a Y/N question, the driver of the work flow is if the Y/N question is answered with an Y, then Group B will get a task assigned and an email notification will go to Group B to continue the work flow.
Group B will fill out information and check Y/N question, if answer is returned Y it will go to Group C via the same method as above.
What I need is as the form goes from one group to the next how can I make sure that Group C doesn't see the responses from Group B? How do I write this into the workflow?

I think now I can add screen shots to explain what I need to do better.
I created a custom sharepoint list. Users click on Add new Item and Group A will answer generic questions until they get to Continue to Dispute to IQ (Yes/no) Checkbox. If they answer Yes, the workflow will start and create a task for Group B
(IQ Group). Group B will answer 4 questions (IQ Responses, IQ Notes, IQ Name and Date). Group B will check Yes or No to Continue Dispute to QA (Group C).
See Screen shot.
What we would like for the workflow to do is based on the Yes or No check boxes (Continue to IQ or QA). If Yes is checked then the workflow will generate a task in the task list. We don't want Group B and C to see each other's responses. I set up a workflow
using impersonate steps, but am not sure if this is correct. Can you look at the workflow steps below and let me know if this is right?

PSE 11 - MacOX 10.7.5 Printing Wide Format Printer and Profiles Not Working Correctly

Macosx 10.7.5
When I start up PSE11 and go to print I set up the paper size then select a Printer Profile. When print the image it is a mess and seem to be black and white it is as if I printed on the wrong side of the paper.
I then go and try to print it again.   Now it all works as it should beutiful colours and spot on. all other print following this works.
Then I shut down PSE11.   Start it up again. Guess what first print is a mess again.   all others after are fine.
I uninstalled PSE11, deleted prefs. and reinstalled PSE11.    Same thing..   first print a mess all others ok.
the issue can be replicated consistantly......
no problems with PSE10 or PSE9
any suggestions?????
cheers elo

Thank You for your suggestions.
I have been printing using PSE for over 14 years going back before the term PSE came up. I have done this professionally using profiles from others and those I generate myself..
All the things you mentioned have been done.
The main point missing in your suggestions is   It is only the first print every time I open up PSE11 that does not work...
at completion of print I immediately go back to the file command and say print and then bypass all settings and print again.   this time and every other print aafter are perfect...      I did not change one single setting...
I know about printer and adobe settings etc.     but thanks for going through the list it was a good reminder of how to remember everything sometimes we rush and forget something...
Finally    It works PSE6, PSE9, PSE10, CS5, Lightroom 4.   I think I have the settings right......
Any suggestions for how to get PSE11 to force the settings for the first print would be appreciated..
Only thing I have not done is upgrade to the latest version of the epson driver. Released less than a month ago to provide support for mountain lion.(iam only on lion) Maybe just maybe???   you never know.   Will try this when I finish by next batch of prints.
I will back up as I do weekly...    Still have the old driver from way back in release 10.5.8   will try to fire up to 10.5.8 and see what happens....

My HP Officejet Pro 8600 stopped printing and display went blank although machine was on.

My display screen went blank and printer stopped working. I followed online troubleshooting instructions and got printer and scan to work again by using computer however the display screen is still blank. The arrows and home button on the sides light up. the only thing I noticed before this all happened is the ink was low. Any suggestions?

Printing problem with Photoshop CS 6 extended and HP printer

Hi all, long time browser, first time poster.
This is a weird issue, it should be noted from the first that I only have weird computer issues. I work at a technical High School where we have the whole Adobe CS6 Extended suite installed. We are running it under a fully patched version of Windows 7 and all the CS6 updates have been applied on 25 machines that all have the same issue. The problem is that when the students go to print to our HP Color Laser jet CP6015DN, the job can been seen loading into the queue, it races up to about 45MB, then sort of strolls to load the rest of the document, usually about 59 to 75 MB's in size. Then I watch the message go to processing, the front panel of the printer says processing, then the print job disappears from the printer queue and the printer and there is no print out. I printed out the usage job log and it shows none of the failed attempts to print and I check the event log page which does not show the errors either.
Looks like a bad printer driver, right? So I download the new HP Universal printer driver, I normally do not do the Universal driver route as so many of my older printers have problems with it, but the CP6015DN seems to have trouble accessing the extended tray 5 with the specific drivers, but I have the same printing issue with the new Universal driver and the PS driver. So I wander through the HP manual and it suggests using profiles to print to the printer and move the color handling from Printer Manages Colors to Photoshop manages colors and I track down the ICC profiles for the printer on the HP site as the link in the book is dead, so try the CP6015srgb_d50.icc, CP6015_cmyk_d50.icc and CP6015.icc, I try all of these profiles with the newest PS printer driver and the same error, goes to the printer and into the bit bucket. Still no printout or error message.
Strange thing is that if I do a test print, it prints fine, if I open a tif file in Photoshop, it prints fine, now the teacher says if they print to the Xeorx 7760 in the next room, it also prints out fine. It should be noted that we had so many issues with configuring the Xerox and adjusting controls it was the reason we purchased a HP proofing printer in the first place. But the next door lab is all Apple, which doesn't seem to have this issue. So I open the test document and save it as a PDF file instead the native Photoshop format, and it prints fine, which from what I've been reading on the internet may be the preferred way of printing proofs, I don't know, I've never really used Photoshop, but the teacher says this isn't an acceptable fix and the students should be expected to manage a number of revisions saved to PDF format, me I just go up a number at the end of the file name for every correction when editing documents.
Any suggestions you have would be appreciated.

Yes, Photoshop is up to date at Version 13.0.6. I have even gone so far as to uninstall CS 6 and put CS 5 back on and still the same thing. This is really frustrating, the people at Canon try to be helpful but wind up saying it's an Adobe problem and of course you can't talk to real people anymore about CS 6. My research on the Internet has turned up nothing so I'm stuck.

Tracking sales, customer retention and Inventory management

Hi,
I own a t-shirt screen printing business and am looking for a solution to help me track sales, categorize customer information and manage inventory. I'm still relatively new to numbers 09 so I'm trying to determine if this program can help me achieve my desired end result.
I conduct two different types of business; wholesale printing and online sales.
I offer wholesale printing for local companies such as pizza shops, churches, family events etc. They typically have a design prepared and order 50+ t-shirts at a wholesale price. Pricing is determined by a lot of different factors such as; amount of t-shirts ordered, number of colors in print, number of print locations.
Online sales, refers to a line of t-shirts I created myself and sell directly to customers. I sell through multiple online mediums such as; etsy, ebay and my dot.com. Each of the sites I sell through has a different set of fees associated with the transaction. For example, when selling through etsy; for each transaction etsy takes a % of the sale, plus a predefined insertion fee for posting the listing. When a customer is making a purchase through etsy they have two payment options; etsy's direct check out, or to pay with paypal. When the customer opts to pay through etsy's direct check out; there is a % fee etsy charges, as well as a predefined processing fee (in addition to the original % fee and insertion fee I mentioned above). If a customer through etsy opts to pay with paypal while checking out, then there is a different % fee as well as processing fee that paypal will charge. Also, both etsy's and paypals checkout methods charge a different % fee and processing fee if the package is being shipped to an international destination. Ebay's fee structure is similar to etsy ie; a % fee and insertion fee, as well as a seperate % fee and processing fee that paypal charges.
Wholesale printing only makes up about 10% of my business so I can pretty easily track those sales as is. Retail sales makes up the other 90% of my business and has become difficult to manage.
Etsy, ebay and paypal all keep transaction details that can be downloaded in csv files. In the past I have found it difficult to organize all that information and make sense out of it because its coming from multiple sources. I'd like to have one program to track all my online sales and customer information and present in in a nice neat fashion.
That's where a program like numbers 09 comes into play, hopefully. To keep track of blank inventory I would like to organize and keep track of all the different blanks shirts i have in stock. Say for example I print on a blank gildan brand shirt that is called GL2000, I would like to have a category for the GL2000 as well as a sub category for the different colors of that shirt I have (blue, black, brown, green etc.), as well as another sub category for the different sizes (small-5xl) available in each of the different colors. I would like to have a separate spreadsheet listing all the finished goods (printed shirts), along with the sizes available for that design on hand. Then, when I print new shirts and enter them into the finished goods spreadsheet, I would like it to subtract that amount from the corresponding blank shirt spreadsheet. For example; I have some designs I print on brown shirts and I would need to create a formula that knows that that particular design is on a brown shirt and not green or some other color. That way as I print more shirts I will have a running inventory of both finished goods as well as what I still have left in stock as blank shirts.
Then I'd like a spreadsheet for me to enter in all the relevant sales data as it comes in. I was envisioning entering the data into that spreadsheed right as I'm shipping out the order. It makes perfect sense because all the information I'd like to track and organize is readily available on the screen when I am creating the shipping label. I would like the spreadsheet to keep track of; Sale date, ship date, item sold, item size, buyer id, transaction id, first name, last name, address, city, state, zip, country, price, coupon (if used), shipping, total (price + shipping), how much the shipping label cost, site item was sold on (ebay or etsy), etsy fee if sold on etsy (% of price + predefined insertion fee), ebay fee if sold on ebay (% of price + predefined insertion fee), refund (if applicable... also if a refund is issued, it would have to automatically adjust the total as well as fee, after entered), sales tax (would only apply if they entered the sate I do business out of in the state column), ebay processing fee, (for etsy transactions) a checkbox to inform the spreadsheet if the etsy transaction was paid through paypal or direct etsy check out (because of the different fees associated with each.) then a corresponding cell with the correct processing fee, it would also have to take into account which country the item was being shipped to and apply the correct fee associated with that country for either of the check out methods; etsy or paypal, then a total after all fees, then possibly a total of all fees paid.
Like I mentioned before, I'm relatively new to numbers 09. I have made some progress in creating the spreadsheets but feel there is a steep learning curve when defining some of the formulas and functions of the program. I'm still not sure if numbers 09 will be able to do all that I need it to do in the end, so I wanted to ask if it is possible before I continue working on it.
Any help would be appreciated. Are there any books I could study to learn the program better? I just picked the apple pro training series for iwork 09 but found the numbers section was mainly for beginners and didn't go over some of the more complex functions I'd like to learn about. I searched for other training material but couldn't find any.
If numbers 09 isn't a suitable program for what I'm trying to accomplish, any suggestions on what program to use? I've looked in to quick books but wasn't sure If I could do something similar with numbers. Thanks for taking the time to read.

Thanks a lot Mahesh for your reply. I just tried your answer: I've assigned the CRM Service User license to the user, on top of the CRM Sales user license. But still same problem.
Can you let me know where you can view the exact license chart? The link I have posted above seems a bit outdated as it does not reflect the actual license limitations.
