When Soft Proofing in LR4 most of my loaded printer profiles are not visible

I am running LR4 and CS6 on an HP desktop with 4Gig Ram, Win 7 Home, Profiled Monitor using DataColor
In CS6, all my loaded ICC printer profiles appear when setting up the soft proofing...
In LR4, most of the profiles do not appear...
The problem is that I print to an Epson 7600 CMYK printer with UltraChrome Ink and mostly on Canvas so I need to proof for that environment.

Not sure what makes you think the Epson 7600 is a CMYK printer, but it isn't. You may be running a CMYK RIP attached to it, but the printer accepts RGB data, not CMYK. The only reason I can think of needing to profile in CMYK would be if you were using profiles generated for a press. I'm sure there may be others, but can't think of one off the top of my head.
Well you can send either RGB or CMYK to the printer but you have to first setup the proper driver for either. Unless you are proofing (make my Epson simulate a press sheet), I can’t think of any reason to send it CMYK data. The limitation is the driver in terms of what you send it. With a 3rd party driver (might be a RIP, might not) it can be possible to send CMYK data to the Epson. Epson bundles the ColorBurst product for this purpose (press simulation, use of CMYK profiles).
Since the Lightroom path is solely RGB, it can’t do anything with CMYK data. So the profiles are filtered out of the list. And don’t expect this to change anytime soon or ever. If CMYK is your game, well you need Photoshop or some other application to handle this data. And you’ll need another driver. So in context of this post, CMYK is simply not a possibility and that is why the profiles are not accessible.

Can I soft proof in LR4 like I can in PS CS5?

I haven't used LR 4 yet, but did view the soft-proofing tutorial.
I applaud Adobe for adding this functionality in LR4. It was one of the most obvious lacking features in the previous version, and I've still been mostly doing all my printing through PS CS5.
While soft-proofing is not a perfect replacement for test printing, I've been mostly satisfied with proofing in CS5.
Proofing in LR4 seems a little different, but by using a virtual copy it looks like if I use my printer/paper profile I should theoretically be able to not only be able to deal with color gamut issues, but also adjust contrast & brightness to more closely match my original developed image, and could compare the original with virtual copy in compare mode. Is it that simple? And if so, why is there a contrast & brightness adjustment in the Print module? That latter adjustment would be similar to what one goes through in PS CS5 when soft-proofing prior to printing. However, why have it if it can be done in the Develop module......and regardless, from the video tutorial it looks like you can't preview the image after making those adjustments in the print module nor compare it with the original......thus forcing one to make multiple prints until the result is satisfactory.
Just seems to me there is a bit more tweaking to do in LR4 to make the soft-proofing more functional. Or, perhaps I'm too stuck with the paradigm set forth for soft-proofing in PS and need someone to clarify how I can achieve the same result in LR just as confidently.

Thanks for the kind words...but LR4's soft proofing is worth the effort to use. It really is better than Photoshop's soft proofing. I'm still on the fence regarding VCs vs Snapshots for soft proofing It's a tossup but the VC part has been built in while making a snapshot wasn't.
The advantage of LR4's soft proofing is you get the ability to do a Before/After while still using the full range of LR4's controls to adjust the printed version. Makes it really easy to nail great print (assuming you have good print profiles).
As for the Print module Brightness and Contradt...that's really a special case that doesn't involved color managed output. It's a crutch for those who don't have a locked down system. It's east to tweak but you have to make example prints since the controls don't actually display but only impact the output. I tend to avoid that.

Bug: Previews not generated properly when Soft Proofing is enabled in LR5, LR5.2 RC

I am experiencing problems with previews in Lightroom 5.0 and Lightroom 5.2 RC.
I have noticed incorrect previews under the following circumstances when Soft Proofing is enabled:
1. When I make modifications (like cropping), the preview in the Navigator panel does not update until I uncheck (and recheck) the Soft Proofing option.
2. When I am paging through several images at 100% or greater, the view in the main window, while zoomed in correctly, does not provide the correct resolution (blurry) until I either uncheck (and recheck) the Soft Proofing option or zoom out and zoom back in.
I am using:
Lightroom 5.0 64-bit, Lightroom 5.2 RC 64-bit
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Canon CR2 RAW files
16GB RAM, plenty of local disk space
Note: I have not done extensive testing on this, but many of these files are stored on a network drive, so I don't know if there is some sort of bug in the optimized routines for network drives/folders.

I have the same problem as michaeln2 and adobe 1230931.
I use Lightroom 4.4.
When I am in the Develop screen and I turn on Soft Proofing, then about 20% of the time the image goes blank. If I go back to Library view and reenter Devleop, sometimes the image will show up, sometimes not. If I advance to other images, sometimes they'll show and sometimes not in the Soft Proofing mode. Sometimes rotating an image in Library mode and going back into Develop "wakes up" the Soft Proofing and sometimes not.
In other words, the soft proofing feature is, as michaeln2 says, functionally useless. I'm surprised that no fix has been posted on this thread. No point upgrading to Ver 5 either...as it seems to be buggy there as well. Help!

Weird behaviour when soft proofing.

I'm finding that if I open an image in DEVELOP, when soft proofing is ALREADY switched on, the sliders usually grey out as soon as I make a first adjustment, the histogram display disappears as well. Toggling the soft proof check box brings everything back to life.

I'm on Win 7 Pro 64, HP Z800, Nvidia Quadro FX3800, Xeon 6 Core. Wacom Intous.
...and I'm still getting the problem. I suspected maybe the Wacom tablet so disabled the service but still get problem with a mouse. I created a new catalogue and imported some different images,
still get the problem, except for the FIRST time I try it with a new image, then everything's OK but subsequent tries give the problem. The files are either layered tiffs of finalised images or DNG or Hasselblad 3F
originals.
The grey outs occurred after the first adjustment, after choosing "Make Proof Copy". I have now checked the "Don't Ask Again" button and the problem seems to have gone away. Just a little glich I guess.
Cheers.

It'll only be available for specific profiles. Which profile do you have selected?

Most of my my target audience are not familiar with iTunes, so I am trying to figure out how to explain how to rate it. What's the fastest way to say it to the iTunes-newbie?

Most of my my target audience are not familiar with iTunes, so I am trying to figure out how to explain how to rate it. Is this the shortest way? “Open iTunes on your computer, click on iTunes Store and search for my podcast. You’ll see it at the top of the results. When you click on it, you’ll see “Write a Review” and will be able to submit your comments and ratings.” Right now they find my podcast because they are on my mailing list, not through iTunes. It would be easy if I could just say, "Go to iTunes.com" or "Go to my web site" - but there are sooooo many steps! Help! Thank you,
Milana

There is another trick - if you give them this URL:
itpc://feeds.feedburner.com/RecurringRevenueRevolutionPodcast
(note itpc not http)
it will subscribe them directly to your feed in iTunes, but it does depend on their having iTunes installed (and in Windows set as the application to use with 'itpc'), otherwise they will get an error message, so it's a slightly double-edged weapon. You could them the link and say 'subscribe in iTunes' as an alternative to the iTunes Store page.

When I try to launch terminal, i get an error "You are not authorized to run this applicationThe administrator has set your shell to an illegal value."

When I try to launch terminal, i get an error "You are not authorized to run this applicationThe administrator has set your shell to an illegal value."

If you'd asked a question in your original post it might have solicited more pertinent responses. As it is, you were stating a fact. No one knew whether you considered that fact a problem, or what you were hoping to gain by doing so.
The simple addition of 'can anyone help me fix this so I can run Terminal' would have counted for a lot.
As it is, your solution is likely to require the Terminal, so you're going to need to fix that one way or another. The simplest would be to create a new admin account (System Preferences -> Users & Groups) then log in using that account.
Then try and launch the terminal. If that works the problem is specific to your original account and can likely be fixed via some command-line tweaking. I'd start with:
dscl . read /Users/<username>
(where <username> is the short name of the account having a problem). This will show the records in the directory data for your account, one of which will be UserShell. Chances are that value is invalid, or missing, and can be corrected via:
sudo dscl . -change /Users/<username> UserShell <currentValue> /bin/bash
(where <currentValue) is the current setting for UserShell) which will change the user's shell to /bin/bash (the default).
Of course, you might already know this and already tried, but since you didn't say so in your original post it's worth checking.

When I upload mp4 videos to my Google Blog from my PC, they are not visible

When I upload mp4 videos to my Google Blog from my PC, they are not visible on my iPad, even though I have no trouble seeing and playing them on my PC. Is there a setting on my iPad causing this?

The question is how are they displayed in the HTML on the Google blog, and/or do they get converted in the upload process. I don't use Google blog, so not familiar with its encoding. You could try an alternate browser such as iCab Mobile or Dolphin.

@Carolyn:
Yes, I did search before but restricted it to the past month, because I had the feeling that it’s worse now since the update to 5.1.10, but I may be wrong.
It seems this is an old and unsolved common problem.
@andy:
“Top Sites” is hot, but I’ve never used that funny dots without any mouse-over text.
After deleting (before starting Safari) it’s restored by a default TopSites.plist, it seems these cookies
- are only reloaded when viewing the Top Sites (?)
- are not among my reappearing cookies, I have never seen such a cookie / cache on my system before (e.g. expedia, orbitz, monster, usatoday, disney, craigslist).
And Top Sites would not explain why the Web Inspector has different infos regarding use of cookies and local storage than Safari’s “Privacy” tab.
After playing with deleting TopSites.plist, without surfing, suddenly I have ”121 cookies or other data” at Safari’s Privacy tab, nearly all are listed as “Cache” or “Cache, Cookies” but the Web Inspector doesn’t show any of them, only my google.co.uk items.
---> Thanks, I’ll send a feedback to Apple.
