when texting a friend, bubbles are blue instead of green and they dont receive the message. this is only happening with one contact,why's this happening and what can i do to sort it? cheers

Blue bubbles are using for iMessages, so problem with receiving is in iMessage.

Should my text messages be blue instead of green after the iOS 5 update?

Should my text messages be blue instead of green after the iOS 5.0 update on my iPhone 4?

Blue messages are iMessages. Dont worry they work pretty much the same as txts
Instead of being sent via the sms service through your operator they're sent either as cellular data or wifi if you have it. The idea being that it functions in much the same way as BBM does on a Blackberry.
You can IIRC turn them off.
iOS 5 automatically determines if the intended recipient is using iOS5, and if they are, automatically sends the message as an iMessage rather than a txt. The colour change is designed to let you know whats what.

No line border and text in book is printed in black instead of dark blue

Just ordered my first photo book, and found that the text in the book is printed in black instead of the dark blue I thought I had used. I was advised by Apple to remove the 'plist' (had no idea what that was but found some info on Google) by dragging it onto my desktop, then log out and log in again and open the book again and once more choose the right color for the text, and then check the book as PDF in Preview before ordering it again.
I've done that and the text is now the color I want it to be, so I could go ahead and order it again now, I guess. Meanwhile that plist is still on my desktop - what should I do about that?
Besides, before ordering the book again I'd like to solve another problem with it, for which Apple didn't give me a solution, and that is that only part of the line borders in my Line Border Theme photo book are visible. There are no lines around a single photo per page (so the photo is not 'framed' so to speak), and on pages with several photo's there are only lines between photo's but not on the outside.
Any ideas anybody?
Ps. I should add that Apple was very decent about returning my money right away (besides the two things I just mentioned, the book was also slightly damaged), but didn't answer all my questions.
I really would like to get the book right and printed though.

the file com.apple.iPhoto.plist contains your iPhoto preferences and when you launch iPhoto and there is none a fresh new reference file is created so you can throw the old one away
To preview your book before ordering I recommend Apple's Knowledge base article - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040

Deskjet D4260 incorrect color (black prints as blue) - Vista

I installed an HP Deskjet D4260 on my dell inspiron 531 with Vista Home. After updating to vista service pack 2 the color on all print jobs is off. (reds/greens/white seem to be correct, but black is being printed as blue)
I've replaced the black cartridge. Also, as per other discussions I found online, is was recommended to uninstall, so I've also uninstalled and reinstalled all printer software and drivers, yet the problem persists.
Do you know of another solution(s) to this problem?
Thank you!

HP Officejet Pro 8000 Printing Blank Pages Instead Of Data And Also Reorienting Itself

Hi all
We have a wireless HP Officejet Pro 8000 in our office (but via cable, not wireless) to a network. The printer is occasionally printing blank pages instead of say a spreadsheet selected to print.
The other issue is that if you say are printing two copies of the same spreadsheet, one prints okay (say landscape) and the second copy, selected at the time of printing, prints it portrait but only part of the left hand side of it and the rest is blank. Coming out of and going back inthe file usually recitifes this. But it does it again any time it feels like it.
We did have an upgrade, where our IT guy took away our desktop boxes and replaced with smaller base units and everything is run from a main server and alsoan upgrade from Windows 2000 to Network. Problems started after this and the IT guy did update the printer driver.
Please would anyone be able to assist? Any help for this frustrating problem gratefully accepted!
Thanks,
Saxplayer67

So the issue with the 8000 printer is periodic print jobs do not come out as you are wanting them. Is that right? This is interesting, just from the point of view that generally speaking issues like this are like a light switch, they are either there or they are not - they usually don't come and go. That being said, we are going to see what we can do to resolve this. First I am going to recommend that we perform a clean installation of the printer after uninstalling it from the machine. By the way, what is the operating system you are working with - Is it Windows 2000 Network?
First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it. Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer.
In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.
Then follow this link to download the full feature software and drivers for the printer:

Install that and let me know the result!
Have a great day!

Why can't I get Blue Colors to Print Correctly??? It prints violet/blue!!

I'm runing Windows 7 - 64 Bitwith Adobe CS5 Master Collection. But ever since I allowed CS5 Photoshop to control my new printer (HP Photosmart Prem C310) to do a test print of a graphic that I created all of my Blues print a violet/blue color, no matter what color blue I try to print. It has even affected MS Word & MS Project when I try to print known blue colored fonts or Gantt Chart Blues will no longer print blue. but it will print the same violet/blue color. I've even tried a brilliant stock windows blue which all view great, but prints the same shades of violet/blue! All my color paletes and blues view perfect. My monitor is calibrated and I've reset my new printer several times and still the same problem. I never had this problem before until I installed CS5 Suite.
A strange thing is that I can run the check printer test and the data and image that is stored in the printer willl print every color perfectly, including blues. Plus I've ran a full color copy directly from the scanner bed and the copy prints perfect as well. I almost feel as though Adobe CS5 has possessed my PC and Printer! So does anyone on here have the knowledge of getting this to print correctly like it did before installing CS5 Master Suite? Thanks to all who can take the time to respond back with solutions to my problem as I have been trying to correct it for nearly three weeks now! Could the problem be in Adobes hidden files possibly??? Thanks....

Dave,
there are at least two explanations, why Blue appears Violet on a print:
1. The printer isn't correctly calibrated or not calibrated at all.
2. A difficult explanation, please look here at p.60,61:
http://www.fho-emden.de/~hoffmann/cielab03022003.pdf
(the doc may have 2MBytes)
We are in the color space CIELab. A printer color space (gamut volume)
looks like a fruit in CIELab.
Pure (saturated) blue is mostly out-of-gamut for the printer space -
it cannot be printed with correct appearance.
A gamut compression is required. The blue has to be shifted towards
the middle axis L* of CIELab, in order to make it less saturated.
Correctly that should be done on a curved line (p.60, plane a*,b*),
but often it's done on a straight line towards the middle axis (dashed).
This straight line crosses areas which are not blue but slightly violet!
Remedies:
Use Softproofing for the appearance in the simulated prints.
If it is photo, for instance a blue sky, then shift the sky blue slightly
towards cyan.
If it is a spot color or a strong RGB blue, then use something else.

If I paste the jpeg on a draw page and shrink it to fit, fuzzy print. If I create the text directly on a draw page, it's fine. (That suggests to me the problem isn't in the printer.) But I want to include a small drawing on the card, and the pasted jpeg of that small drawing is very poor quality.

It may be a problem with your printer. Try posting on a Canon forum. Often times it is not your Mac.

C4780 ENV Printing in middle instead of the side as hardware requires

c4780 ENV Printing in middle instead of the side as hardware requires. is this a problem with the new dirvers? it started happening right after driver update.

Sounds like you want the "classic layout" (as in, the way Mail looked before Lion). Go to Mail -> Preferences, click the Viewing icon and check "Use classic layout."

DYMO printing in portrait instead landscape

Our DYMO Twin Turbo Labelwriter is printing in portrait instead of landscape when I print from Address Book, so the text is across the short length of the label and very small.
I've installed the latest driver (7.7.1) and reset the printing system to no avail. Any ideas?

I have spoken to DYMOs software engineers and they reproduced the problem. This has been an issue in address book since about 10.2 or 10.3. I submitted a report to apple but have not received word if it will be fixed.
The best solution I have found is to use SOHO address label software from macupdate.com which is much better than DYMOs crummy software IMHO. I think you are the only other person that has noticed this bug. It seems to only occur in printing address labels directly from Address Book.

Word Stopped Printing the correct current page, prints page #1 instead

Word 2013 will no longer print the correct current page when asked to do so--it prints page 1 instead. There is no problem with the document(s) involved as they will print the correct current page with another user. If you highlight a selection,
it will print that correctly, except without the headers and footers. If you specify the section and page numbers, that also works (and the headers and footers come out OK). The print drivers are not the issue as the printer drivers
in question are on the print server and work as expected for other users.
Creating a new profile for the user does fix the problem, but only temporarily, in a week to 2 weeks the problem comes back. I am looking for a simpler solution than creating a new profile every week or 2 for the user.
I have tried the following steps without any success.
Deleted all the normal.dotm files from the computer and have
Deleted the Word Data key in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER|SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word.

Hi,
I first suggest you check the printer setting, since the problem may by caused by the incorrect printer mode. We can also try updating the printer driver to the latest to check the result.
Is the source file is openning in the Compatibility Mode? Whatever it is, please copy all of content from your current document to a new creating docx to check the result.
If the issue still persists, please try to repair Office from Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features -> Office 2013 -> Change -> Repair.
Feel free to let me know if you have any other concern.

Black Prints as Blue on Photo Paper

I have a Photosmart 6510 and am using Mac Snow Leopard. Black prints fine on plain paper but prints a blue on photo paper. This is a new problem. It was working fine before. Any suggestions?

Hi Dlking,
I responded to your other post, but this thread will work too
Can you clarify "Working fine before", did you change any settings or OS X versions?
Don't forget to mark a post as solved if it fixed your issue

When I print from the web, the print is blue ink, which I don't want and can't read. When I print from Word, it is black ink. What is the problem?

If I print an article downloaded from the web, it prints in blue ink, which is almost not readable. If I download it to Word or print a document stand alone in Word, it prints in black ink, which is what I want. I didn't have this problem before I upgraded to the new Firefox. Please help.
Thanks

I should also point out that when I connect my iPhone, it DOESN'T appear as a connected drive on the desktop. Not sure how this can be so, since the iPhone also has a drive and also functions as an iPod if I want it to. I must have changed some setting to achieve this non-appearance, but don't remember what I must have done.
What's the secret?

Unable to print with blue ink

My 6600 OfficeJet is just over a year old. It stopped printing with blue ink, affecting photo printing. I did the "Clean Printhead" function many times, and changed cartridges many times, without success. Is there a solvent or method to unclog the blue ink? I have not been able to remove the printhead. I've tried using a Q-tip and warm water, but nothing so far has worked. Thanks for any assistance. I've tried all of the online suggestions so far.

Check the Canon and OKI printer websites for Mountain Lion driver support. Hopefully you can download the drivers from there.
