Overprint Preview question and another issue...

Hi...
CS4, Win XP.
Overprint Preview question:
The other day i sent a file for printing (poster) in PDF and CS2 formats. For some reason, the printer converted the file to a .tif and then printed. Parts dropped out... Both the PDF and CS2 files looked fine.Description follows:
1/ Background black
2/ Design element over the black (blue lines to form a wave).
3/ Logo in red and white. Plus a line of text in red. And other text in white.
The white of the logo vanished. The red line of text kind of vanished... printed very faintly and only (i think in parts). Printer tried to do a patch job of printing the line separately and pasting... anyway... to cut a long story short, he wanted the final output in .tif. OK...
So, i converted to tif and sure enough... those parts vanished... did a search here and found the solution - view file in Overprint Preview and then in Attributes, turn off the Overprint Fill... so all well...
So, the question is, why does this happen? And, how, do i know in advance that x or y is likely to cause a problem? I have noticed in Bridge that sometimes, parts of a logo or a line of text does not show... but looks fine in AI or Acrobat... now realise the cause, but not the reason.
The other issue...
Same black background(s)... placed Photoshop file/s with a transparent background... Prints fine at the printers (various machines and media) ... But on the laserprinter an HP Color Laser Jet CP1510 series, there's a dark patch around the image (the actual file area).
Again, any ideas?
Cheers...

Hi PrepressPro...
Many thanks for your earlier inputs, but not quite sure where you got the idea that i want someone or anyone to play detective... i've understood the Overprint problem... and moved on. If anything, maybe i was just musing and wondering if any particular action turns on "Overprint Fill"...
Or maybe, i was referring to the second question which has not been resolved yet... Quoting it below for easy reference:

To elaborate, the pix above are product shots which have been cut out and placed on a transparent background... The PS file is then placed in AI CS4 with the object option selected to maintain transparency. The transparent area is printing darker on the printer above. But is fine when sent to commerciqal printers...
Attached is a scan of the problem...

Overprint Preview question

I am trying to print a film positive for a spot UV job that is supposed to have some text reversed out of it. Output Preview does not show the text. My RIP does not see it either. I can only see the knocked-out text when I turn off overprint preview in Acrobat preferences. I guess my question is what did the artist do wrong when he made the PDF? Also, is there a preflight profile I should use on all the files I receive, to prevent this confusion from happening again?
I am using Acrobat 9.5.1 on Windows 7
RIP is Roland VersaWorks

Do you know what software the artwork was created in?
If I didn't see reversed text, I would first check that the reverse field object was not set to overprint -- which would eliminate reversed-out type. Some other issues can interfere with reversed type -- using an unavailable font for example, or the text not being set to white, and several more exotic settings and techniques. Some DP software has trouble knocking out type if it's not the frontmost object on the page.
BTW, the title says "Overprint Preview question" but I think you're just asking about "output" preview, though it did make me think of the overprint setting issue.
As to preflight profile, you have to make sure everything is set right for your particular output device/print conditions. You might want to run a profile that checks for missing fonts, low-resolution images, non-CMYK inks -- anything that would give problems in film/plate output or on the press.
Also, when I have text problems, I try printing to other devices -- laser printer, inkjet, whatever -- to see if the problem is device-specific.
Hope that helps a little

I
Have my password but I'm trying to change the security question and answer because it keeps asking me to
Verify it when I download a song and I don't know it anymore , please help

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Wet iPhone Question and Applecare Issue

Hello! Sorry to post another topic about a wet iPhone, but I have a specific question.
Yesterday while fishing, I bent over to get something and my iPhone fell out of my pocket into the lake. I grabbed it out right away. It spent the night in a back of rice ... it works 90%. The home button is a little finicky (doesn't always want to click back to the next screen), Facebook updates are popping up, and I can call out an hear the other person - but they can't hear me. Is there hope if I leave it in a bag of rice for the weekend? Any other ideas?
The main reason I am mad is that I stopped at the AT&T store yesterday right after it happened. I was informed that the Applecare plan I purchased doesn't cover water damage. But I am 99% sure when I bought the plan that I was told it DID cover water damage. When I decided to purchase the extra coverage I used the example of a couple years ago when I unfortunately ran a Blackberry through the washing machine and asked if that would be covered. I KNOW he said that would be covered ... or in the least, strongly led me to believe it would be covered to the point where I decided to purchase the Applecare plan. Do I have any recourse if I feel I was mislead into buying the Applecare coverage???
Thanks for any advice! Kris

Don't let those replies get to you .... I find these the Apple forums very rude.
I have no doubt that the AT&T person led you to believe that water damage would be covered. Best case scenario, they were simply uneducated about the plan and accidently gave you misleading verbal information. More likely, they wanted the commission.
I live in Canada, and when I called Bell for satellite TV, I specifically asked twice if I would be locked into a contract and I was told no, twice. I called back and the second person ran around the issue, but finally admitted yes there was a two year contract. Moral of the story and despite the rude reply, gdgmacguy is right ... read it for yourself in writing before committing.
Did you happen to pay for the iPhone with a credit card? A lot of credit cards have built in insurance that includes extended warranties accidental loss or breakage?
As for the rice, try the weekend or even a week. I have dropped a cell phone in the water before (not an iPhone). I ended up replacing it, but took it apart and let it dry anyway. After I dropped my replacement in the water (I know shut up) I reassembled the first one and it worked. Using the iPhone while still wet inside may damage it further. Give it a very good chance to dry before trying again.

Preview Drag and Drop Issue

I use preview in school a lot. Converting lectures to PDF is a lot easier to use and i us a program called iFlash to make flash cards.
What I want to do is use the text tool to highlight sections of text, drag them to the flash card window and then drop the text there. This is a really quick and easy way to make the flash cards.
This works except when i click back to the card all the text that i dragged is deleted.
Does anyone else have this issue. I have checked, this feature (highlight and drag...) works well in other programs (mail, pages) but not with my flash card program.
Any ideas?

I have checked, this feature (highlight and drag...) works well in other programs (mail, pages) but not with my flash card program.
That suggests that the problem is with iFlash. Will it accept drags from other programs, besides Preview? If not, it probably doesn't support drag and drop at all. If it does, then its implementation is probably buggy, and you should contact the developer.

RAM Preview framerate and sound issues

The same story as usual. A beginner who can't get the framerate right or the sound to play in the RAM Preview. Well then:
Ae CS6.11.0.0378, I think
Demo version
7,9 g ram allocatable
Win7 proffesional
Only .avi and .mp4, can't tell much more than that
All other common factors can think of vary between the layers, with no difference.
Sound preview set to 10 minutes
No mute-related settings activated
Sound and volume checked for each individual layer
I don't know what more to submit, there's probably a lot.
It's quite simple. No sound in the RAM preview, and it keeps freezing, not responding when I start it, and playing at random speeds. The sound does play in sound preview. The framerate is set to auto.
That's about all I can think of. It probably needs a lot more detail required, but not anything I can think of. Any help appreciated.

You can get the frame rate right by dragging a clip in question onto the Make Comp icon at the bottom of the project window.
If you're fooling around with time -- time stretch, time remapping, posterize time, time displacement -- or using Rotobrush or Warp Stabilizer -- you should know that AE doesn't like mp4's as the source video. No telling about the avi.
There could also be compressed audio in the video files, and AE has never played nice with compressed audio.

Siri will not tell me the time, and another issues

I tried to ask siri a number of questions since I received my iphone 5 on Saturday
"what time is it"
"call <contact name>"
"what music is playing"
all have given me similar variations on "i'm having trouble can you please try again"
I switched from my iphone 4 and I was able to do these very basic tasks.
Does apple have any feedback on when they are going to fix this issue with Siri not able to respond to basic tasks?

i'm in america and its not working for american english. I think they are having trouble routing united states english but not the other english variations.

Answers to a question and another question

Have just started using chat beta app for imessaging from my mac to iphones.
a lot of people have had issues syncing properly between devices, which i had as well.
by syncing i mean:
at the moment on my iphone all messages from 'dave' are in a single conversation. if dave was to imessage me from his mac, his message would show in a different conversation because its come from his email address instead of his phone number. even if i add his email address to his contact it will still show in different conversation. which is very annoying because i want all my conversations with dave to be unified regardless of where they were sent from.
some people have suggested that the answer is to change the caller ID for imessage from your phone no to your email address.
my problem with this is that all your imessages from your iphone to other iphones will show up as your email address instead of your phone number on the recipients phone, which i don't want and im sure a lot of people wouldn't want.
anyway in case people are looking for a solution (as i was for ages) i came across a possible one which seems to work:
delete all existing conversations from that person on both your phone and reciepients phone. from then onwards all messages sent between those 2 people will show in same conversation rather then 2 different ones regardless of where they are sent from.
i have tried this with wifes phone and after deleting existing conversation on both our phones, all messages i sent her regardless of wether from my iphone or mac all shows in same conversation.
anyway thats my answer to a possible problem, i also have a question:
what is the future of messages beta? its a excellent idea, however makes no sense at all if it doesn't sync PROPERLY across all your devices which at the moment it doesn't. surely apple can identify you purely from your apple id, so i can't see why they can't get imessages to sync fully, so all imesseges sent to me and those i send as well all show up on both my phone and on mac.

Hi,
Currently Mesages Beta is storing your Messages from any source in two places.
By default it is saving iChat style transcripts in Your Home Folder/Documents/iChats (this is the default place for the ichats folder)
It is also storing, at least iMessages, in Your Home Folder/Library/Messages in the form of a data base.
It seems to be this data base that show you the "History" of the contact you is chatting with you.
(This can only be accessed by using the Finder's Go Menu and holding the ALT key to be able to select the Library)
It also seems unclear as to whether it is the Address Book details or something at the Apple Server end that links Phone Numbers with IDs that allows the linking and syncing of the two forms of ID.
The fact that you have found that clearing all the History of all IDs conversations allows better syncing is interesting.
As I see it several things need to be considered
Not only iMessages from Phone Numbers and Apple IDs need to be resolved for syncing but also whether people want the iChat type Buddy list chats to also be collated in that process.
If iMessages are kept separate from the older iChat style chats in terms of syncing chats on the Mac end there is still the issue of whether Jabber and AIM Chats should be "synced" or collated for the "History" view.
As I have several Buddies with History at least on AIM chats going back to 2004 and later jabber Chats with some of those it would make for a very long scroll back.
There would appear to be a syncing issue with iMessages regarding the Name or Phone number that needs to just work and not need all chats to be closed and cleared to then sync (or if closed/deleted a way of getting one you want to keep back or stored for review)
A way of deciding what and how much "History" is called back for a Buddy or contact.
The fact that all Saved Chat for a Buddy will show up does mean you have a useful search tool for certain things.
However I rarely use Saved Chats for much more than that after about 6 months.
Spotlight would tend to find it anyway (in the current Storage place)
If History/Archives of chat are going to be kept in the Library then Spotlight will not be able to Search them.
Messages will be in Mountain Lion.
And for that we will have to wait.

Keyboard backlight question and/or issue

When I am on a call after like 30-60 seconds the screen and keyboard dim and then go off. I am using a bluetooth but it also does this on handset audio when you do not press a key for a while during a call. I know this is normal. What I do not know is if the next part is normal. On the Tour the Green Talk key, menu, back, and red end key all stay lit up after the dim. I had to exchange my first tour and on this second one sometimes even the main row (green, menu, back, end keys) will dim so the entire keyboard is not lit up. That main row is lit up sometimes and sometimes not. Sort of like how the LCD dims sometimes and then the backlight will come back on for no reason like all blackberry's seem to do. Is my main row backlighting acting normal or is that row supposed to be lit the whole time and i have a short?

I too would love to know the answer to this question.
DJs use MB Pros under the same conditions, and I have heard from some that they have never experienced any issues after two years of intense use.

Wrong image size with a Nikon D70 and another issue

Hi everyone!
I'm a photography student and I switched a few weeks ago. I've been using Adobe Lightroom under Windows for months, now I'm trying Aperture.
I own a Nikon D70, which is a 6 Mpix camera. The resolution of the pictures should be 3008x2000 pixels. With Aperture they are 3024x1998... It's *neither the good ratio neither the native resolution* of the camera.
What should I do?
Also, although I set up my camera in MTP mode, it *won't work in tethering mode*. It came back from the Nikon service center with a Nikon D70s firmware, but it should work as well, right?
Thank you for your help!

Strange! I had tried with the camera in PTP mode a few days ago, it wasn't working. Trying again now and it works! I must have done something wrong. Thank you anyway!
Then I tried again the Search tool, I didn't noticed the date range restriction on the first time, now I can see a few threads about that "problem". Although I'm really not satisfied with this "issue", it seems to be this way by design and not a bug.
Thank you everyone for your help!
(may I delete this thread since it has no interest for other people?)

Some refurb 1G questions and possible issues

Hello everyone - my wife bought me an early Christmas gift and I got it yesterday. She got me the Touch 1G 8gig model from the refurb store here on Apple. She is a diehard Mac user and has an old Nano she loves. Any way I have already had a few issues (possibly)
1) Is the sound quality of the stock headphones really bad or do I have a bad set? The sound quality is just horrible. It just sounds flat, no bass, no treble, and just bad overall. Playing with the built in EQ settings did not help at all. I just got more distortion.
2) The wifi seems incredibly slow. At first I thought it was due to browsing a page with too much graphic content, but even just browsing basic sites it seems a lot slower than the Touch 2G I played with at Best Buy (I dont have any local Apple Stores). Is this normal as well? I thought it would be fun to take the Touch vs. one of our laptops on short trips for basic wifi browsing, but this is almost painfully slow.
3) I tried docking it today for the first time with a cheap little JVC speaker powered speaker. I got no sound at first. I had to fiddle with the docking several times. It works perfectly with my wife's Nano. Once I got sound to work, it froze on me on the 10th or 12th song. Froze as in it just paused on its own mid song. Once I hit play it did start again. I have not tried it again since.
The first problem I can deal with by getting better headphones. I hope it is just the headphones that sound horrible and not the unit. My wife has her Nano in the car so I can't compare side by side yet. The second issue is an annoyance and I would like to know if the 2G Touch is really faster of if I just imagined it. The third issue bothers me. I dont like things freezing up on me when they are brand new (well brand new refurb).
With BF coming up, I assume retailers will be running some deals on the 2G touch. If I upgrade to the 2.0 or 2.1 software for the refurb, it isnt much cheaper than a new 2G model. Are the 2G models any better with the above issues?
thanks all for the help-
sm

I dont have a local Apple Store unless the Best Buy kiosk counts (which I stated in my original post). Closest real one is 2 hrs away. They were supposed to be building one here this year, but nothing came of it yet.
I am trying to avoid shipping it back if possible if it is something that is either normal or easily solvable.

And another issue - using : column like :item in a select in a cursor

i use column like :item frequently but now i'm thinking that it slows down the select making it run much more slowly . any suggestions or documentation I might use ? Do you think that it would be better to use column = :item or not to use :item at all ? Thanks a lot !

Like in Select is used as
WHERE col1 LIKE 'aaa%'
and disable the index on col1 (Sure exists Index-Function)
as it's better writing
WHERE account_name LIKE 'CAPITAL%'in comparison to
WHERE SUBSTR(account_name,1,7) = 'CAPITAL'Sure is better if you can use col1 = :item but I don't know your goal.
Regards

Treo not showing KNOWN people when they call. And another issue.....

When people/numbers that are IN my phonebook call me, my phone just shows the number and it says Unknown caller... After the call is complete...it doesn't ask me to add the unknown number(even though that option is checked in the phone preferences) Whats going on with my phone?
Thank you
Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

Hello!
Appears that a preference settings file for the phone app is not working. Using Sprint right? Try to soft reset the phone first and if that is a nogo, try a hard reset and resync the phone to get the data back. Be sure to hotsync your phone first to back it up for the hard reset does erase ALL data off the phone.

Scion IPOD Integration Question and Safety Issue

I have a 2007 Scion TC with the factory pioneer stereo with ipod connection and control from the stereo buttons.
Does anyone know how to fix the problem where when you start scrolling through which song/album you want to select, and then you take a couple of moments to actually drive, the thing resets to the beginning and you have to start all over? This actually forces you to try to keep controlling it if you started to select something new at a stoplight because you don't want to start from the beginning. This is a usability and safety concern and I could see them getting sued for this if someone wrecked.
Max

I can pretty much guarantee that Apple would like to know about your experience, as this is at least a potential safety thing. Contact Apple using www.apple.com/support/contact if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the iPod in to an Apple retail store for evaluation.
Best of luck.
