My Mac is set to print in grayscale by default and I am not sure how to change this.  The print setup defaults to Colorsync under Color Management and Colorsync is stuck on Mode "Gray"

My Mac can print color if I change from Colorsync to "in printer" or if I manually change the colorsync profile, but this has to be done every print and is quite time consuming.  Can someone help me change the default Colorsync profile or change Color Mangement to default to "in printer"?  After 3 days of this I am already tired of this,  And before it is asked I do not know what has changed to cause this.  Wednesday was the first time I had needed to print on this particular Mac since March and it was already stuck in grayscale.

You can select your preferred set of printing perferences and "Save as Default".
Or you can blow it all away and "Reset the Printing System" which takes you back to NO printers installed, and add the Printers back in.
To reset the printing system (if necessary)
Control-click or right-click a print queue in the "Printers" pane.
Choose "Reset printing system..." from the contextual menu.
Click "OK" in the "Are you sure..." confirmation sheet
This un-installs all printers. You can then add them back in one at a time, and they should come in with default settings.

  • Colormunkie Photo printer profile (*.ICM and *.ICC ) are not seen by LR4.2 in the Print Job section

    Colormunkie Photo printer profile (*.ICM and *.ICC ) are not seen by LR4.2 in the Print Job section
    I used Colormunkie Photo to create an .ICM file for printer calibration.   When that failed I tried changing the suffix to .ICC.  Under neither circumstance did LR4.2 display the file in the menu to select printer profile.  There were several display files with both suffixes but no printer files at all.  I tried three times with no success and cannot think of what else to try. The first two were the same.  I varied the file creation name suffix in the third.  Help will be appreciated. My OS is Win 7 ultimate SP1  Printer is HP 2550L laserjet.

    Glad you found your answer, Colormunki is smart enough to figure out the color space for the printer as I found out - But for quality work the latest generation of inkjet printers from Epson and Canon are hard to beat, and compared to a laserjet the quality is like night and day. The other benefit of changing up to an inkjet printer is the choice of papers available which you could not put through a laserjet.
    I had a colleague that tried printing on Photoglossy paper through his color laser and it fried the fuser, and HP, while they replaced the fuser unit under warranty, made it very clear that that was a daft thing to do.
    So if I were in your position I would go with an inkjet and you will then enjoy the benefits of better quality output, better paper choices and with your Colormunki be able to make custom profiles that will work in LR
    Cheers

    Your Photoshop CC can be installed on a Mac or PC. Just install the Mac CC Desktop app and install Photoshop CC from there. It will be in your Application folder.

  • Help! The new version of Firefox only prints in landscape mode and I cannot figure out how to change this default option. I need the default to be portrait.

    Where in the world are the printer options??

    '''{ Ctrl + P }''' to open the "native print dialog" box, then hit Properties and change it the printer Properties display box.
    Once that is changed Firefox should hold that setting until the next time you print something thru Firefox, unless you would be using a different printer.

  • I bought my wife an iPad, iTV and iPhone and everything works great. But now I'm getting an iPhone and I'm not sure how to set it up. So far all our iTunes purchases have been under her account. So how do we share everything, but have different accounts?

    Things have just kind of escalated. We started with the ipad and she really liked it. Then we were given an itv and it worked so nicely with the ipad, that we decided to get her an iphone. We've been buying music, tv shows, movies, taking photos, looking at them on the tv using photostream. But now I'm getting an iphone and plan to by a macbook or mac mini some time soon, and I'm wondering how I can setup my own account but still have all this really nice seamless sharing across devices. If I buy an album on my phone, I'd like to be able to play it on the itv (which is setup with my wifes account). And so forth.
    I hope I've explained my concern and someone can point out how to set things up so that things remain as seamless and easy as they are now.
    Thanks.

  • I have made the switch to MAC from PC and I use Sony cameras/video recorders. I used the Sony PMB program to store all photos and videos. Now I need to transfer my photos and videos over to my MAC and I do not know how to do this as PMB is not supported

    I need to transfer all my photos and videos from my old PC stored in the SONY PMB program to my new fabulous MAC desktop. I do not know how I can do this. Plus for future photos/videos, how can I upload them from Sony products ?
    Please help me
    PS I just purchased the computer yesterday so it has the most current operating system

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Do you know where the actual photo files are located on your laptop? If so, you can transfer them to the Mac over a LAN or by saving them to an external HDD, thumb drive or burning them to a disk. Then you can import the photos to the iPhoto app that came on your new Mac.
    It would be the same process for the videos, however, it would depend what type of video files they are, as to which Mac app might allow you to view them.
    BTW, since your Mac is new you need to Accept the iLife apps; iPhoto, GarageBand and iMovie into your Mac App Store/iTunes account. Open the MAS, sign into you account, go to the Purchased pane and accept the apps.

  • I can not print because I am told that I am offline? How do I get the printer online?

    I have an HP officejet pro L7580 all-in-one printer and I recently took my laptop away on business and although I can get on the internet, I can not print. I am using windows 7 operating system. When I trouble shoot it states I am offline but when I go to printers and devices the printer is ready with 2 messages in the queue!

    Hello JohnLutkenhouse, You might try going to the Control Panel, Devices and Printers, click on the HP Officejst Pro L7580, and a window should open. The printer should have a green check mark on the icon which shows it is the default printer.
    When you click on the printer icon, another window should open. Look at the top of this window for the words Printer Offline. Click on this line of text and another window should open. Click on the Printer in the upper left corner and another menu will open, where you should see the menu item Use Printer Offline. Click on this line.
    Now just close out of all these windows and see if the printer will now work as you want.
    Please click the White Kudos star on the left, to say thanks.

  • Can't find the set up ipad    Need to reboot the system and recover from icloud but not sure how to do this

    Not certain how to reboot the ipad.   Had some instructions but alas stumped on set up.   I have backed up in ICloud but need to get to a "set up"process

    You restore from an iCloud  backup on the iPad itself. You have to reset the iPad in the settings app. Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. You will then be starting from the beginning - you will be setting the iPad up all over again.
    This article explains how to do it.

  • How do I change the Wi-Fi password on my Mac? It is set with 46 numbers and letters. Not sure if it came from the compant this way or not. I bought a Kindle and need to put in the wifi password but it won't accept it the way it is.

    How do I change my Wi-Fi password?

    This item is a modem, it does not have wireless according to the manual which I have linked here, it is also rather old (as the requirements for a pentium 133 and 32mb of Ram suggest)
    If this is all you have you can not connect your kindle (or anything else) to it wirelessly
    Get a router.

  • I am starting a new spread sheet in numbers to log my photos. I want to set up a sort button on each column but do not know how to accomplish this. Any ideas?

    I have a Macbook Pro with the latest Yosemite operating system on it. I am using Numbers 3.5.2 and I am making a spread sheet for my photos. I am having columns with different information in them and I want the ability to sort them using buttons. Can anyone help me with this?

    Bunnie,
    The only way to prevent such loss is with a robust backup system.  Apple provide TimeMachine as part of OS X.  Connect an external hard drive to your computer and off you go.  hourly, daily backups.  I have recovered more than one computer this way,
    As far as photos goes I use this approach:
    1) Time Machine
    2) a offsite copy of the picture folder from my user (I literally copy the picture folder to a separate, non-Time machine drive and relocate that drive in my desk drawer at work).  I bring the offsite drive home every coupe months it refresh.
    Numbers will not do a good job for this task (in my opinion) and will not facilitate metadata stored in the pictures.  On bad thing happens in the number file and all your pictures are gone.  In addition if you were to select the menu item "File > Advanced > Reduce File Size..." and, "BAM!!" all your pictures would be compressed and not their original size. 
    iPhoto keeps every change you make to a picture so you can get the original back.  What ever happened with iPhoto will be much worse with Numbers (again, in my opinion).
    Really set up a Time Machine backup.  the drive should cost about $100, use it.

  • I just got a MacBook Pro today and I was not sure how to authorize my mac for iTunes

    .

    Authorization
    iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
