Why are filenames highlighted in different colors?

Just upgraded from 10.2 to 10.4 i believe and im noticing filenames ALL OVER the place with different colors to them and i cant figure out any system to it, what is that all about?

This means that the files have a label assigned to them; Mac OS X 10.2 will not display labels in the Finder but Mac OS 9.x, Mac OS X 10.3 and newer systems will. To turn off a label, control-click the file in the Finder and click the x furthest to the left under Color Label. The files may have color labels because they were set that way when they were placed onto the hard disk, or if the label has been changed after putting them on.

Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

Here's what I've found on the issue:
Pantone color definitions have changed (coinciding with CS6) — they are now "Pantone+" (I think that's what they're called). The "+" apparently means they're now LAB colors. Lab colors are not properly displayed in Preview (or in Finder previews) — they display as black (as far as I can tell, in all circumstances). I'm sure it's a tad more complicated than that, but that's the gist.
Now the bad news — nobody seems to know anything about a fix or workaround (unless you convert your PDFs to process — this might be a fix for sending to clients). It causes issues for me in AI files — being able to view them in the finder (with previews) is a HUGE time saver for my workflow... when they're all black, not so much.
In my chat with a director of product dev at Adobe, they placed the responsibility to fix on Apple (assuming Apple wants to support Pantone color definitions in their OS).

10.4.5: why are my highlight colors wrong?

no matter what highlight color i choose in the Appearance prefs pane, i get a different color - or, more accurately, a very different shade of the same color - in some places. when i select text in a text-editing app (or right here in Safari), for example, i get the highlight color i chose in the Appearance prefs pane, but if, say, i choose any shade of pure yellow for my highlight color in the prefs pane, my messages in Mail.app are highlighted in this positively repugnant bile green. if i choose a pale purple highlight color, messages in Mail.app are highlighted in a deep purple. and so on.
why is this? if i wanted disobedient computers, i'd run Windows boxes.
thanks.

pray, good van malsen, exactly whom do you imagine me to have insulted, and when and how?
methinks thine imagination doth run amok.
i can appreciate, however, that no one has an answer to either of the questions i posted a week or two ago. but i do think it sad that we're cut loose to drift around out here on our own.
i used to see Apple Computer as an ally, a compatriot in the fight against conformity, mediocrity, the mindless acceptance and consumption of whatever user-hateful garbage rolled out of Redmond. i saw Apple Computer, and the Macintosh, as a cause, and one well worthy of my staunchest support.
it's different now though. the warmth, the fun and the color are gone (well, unless your idea of "colorful" is light blue), replaced with cold, gray (and light blue) efficiency and an increasing indifference toward the needs and desires of users. and one attempt to use .mac's sync function is all it takes to call into question the notion of efficiency as well.
oh, i don't have the energy for this. i'm just heartbroken at the death of the soul of Apple Computer.

Why are my photos arranged differently on my ipad to my computer

why are the photos on my ipad album in a different order to that on my computer?

What version of iOS is your iPad on ? From here :
If you are not using iPhoto or Aperture on Mac OS X, and if your device is using the latest software, it sorts photos in ascending order by the Date Modified.
iOS 4 sorts photos by the Date Taken tag of the photos. iOS 3.1.3 and earlier sort photos alphanumerically by the photos' file names.
So if you want them in a different order, depending upon your iOS version you will either need to modify the 'date modified', 'date taken' or their filenames

Why do APDivs move?
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2181263#2181263
I think you should seriously rethink using APDivs as a primary layout method. Use CSS default positioning (which is no positioning at all). Then align elements with CSS Margins, Padding and Floats.
Basic CSS Page Layout (no APDivs used & no animals harmed)

Why are jpg files displayed different in Lightroom 4 then in f.e. Apple Quicktime? How to make it similar?

I use Lightroom 4 for organizing and processing my photo's on my Sony Vaio VPCF11C5E (Windows 7, 64bit). When I import (no presets applied) the jpg files of my canon 6d (camera setting sRGB) in Lightroom 4, the pictures are displayed differently (less colorful) then when displayed in f.e. the slideshow mode of Windows Photo Viewer or in Apple's Quicktime. Which settings do I need to change to display the photo's in Lightroom in the same way as in f.e. Apple's Quicktime?

If there's a mismatch from LR, that's likely due to the other application not being color managed which is what I suspect is the case with the version of Windows Photo Viewer. LR is correct.

1 Apple ID, 2 iCloud accounts. Why are they syncing across different iPhone 4's?

My sister and I both have the iPhone 4 from Verizon. Recently, I made an iCloud account with a .me address, then she made a separate one. Once she made hers, our contacts and reminders have merged to both of our phones. I can't figure out how to stop that. I don't think it should happen since there are 2 separate iCloud accounts. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I am having similar problem. I think I know how it happens but not easy to fix.
"Apple ID" account is different than iCloud account, but when setting up new phone, everything asks for 'apple ID' although you can use icloud or apple ID. Apple ID is typical for itunes store. if one user for both, it's ok to use both. but for multiple users this is the problem.
my problem is I set up my husband's iphone and set him up on my itunes account (accident), so it merged my contacts into his contacts because I put my apple id in there. I created an icloud email for him to try to fix it but it links this email account now to my apple id still. and when I created an icloud me.com account for him, it didn't ask for a password.
trying to figure out how to create a separate icloud account for him to separate our contacts then only use apple id for apple store/itunes. ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CORRECT THIS?

Why are my PDFs sorted differently in Bookshelf or Titles view?

I scanned 68 chapters of two med textbooks (2000 pages) so I can access them easier on my iPad.
It works OK but there is one odd thing-after dragging the chapters to iTunes and syncing them, I get different sort orders for the "Bookshelf" view and "Titles" view depending on if I am in ICON mode or LIST view mode (top upper right)
The chapters are each named 01.pdf, 02.pdf, 03.pdf, etc etc.
If I look at them in "List" view, with the TITLES button selected they are all sorted from 01-68 properly.
If I look at them in "List" view, with the "BOOKSHELF" button selected, they randomly populate the bookshelf from top to bottom.
This is the same when I view them in ICON mode. They are all out of order.
I know I can drag them around to re-arrange them, but this is a real pain.
Also- I can't just choose "TITLES" and then click ICON view, it reverts to "Bookshelf view"
I was planning to put more textbooks in. A lot more.
What causes them to be sorted randomly when they are in "Bookshelf" view?
I would like to find a way around this so I can either re-name them properly or adjust whatever meta-data (if anything) is causing this.

Unfortunately this has been an issue with iBooks since day one. Bookshelf view has never been sorted alphabetically. Hopefully in a future update this issue will be resolved...
I personally gave up on iBooks for PDF files because of the inability to sort the Bookshelf view with any consistency. I'd recommend looking into the Goodreader app for storing your PDFs. With Goodreader you can create folders within the app for each book and they will sorted in proper order.

Why are my fonts in different groups in Illustrator CS5?

I am running Illustrator CS5 on a Laptop PC. I am constantly installing new fonts to work on customer projects...
I have noticed that sometimes the fonts appear in the font list in alphabetical order, and sometimes they appear either towards the top or bottom (not in order), or they are in a completely separate grouping at the bottom of the list. Is there any fix for this? I'd prefer that they all be in Alphabetical order if possible...
Thanks in advance for any help,
Scott. F.

Check the font prefs and the various text-cnetric panels' options. this happenes when you choose to group by English name, but the font is encoded for a different region/ uses a different set of characters.

Why are photos hiding behind background color on pages?

I am building a large book with over 350 photos as a gift for my 93 year-old father. I've done a number of books in iPhoto and am fairly experienced with the software. After the last system upgrade, this book seemed to be missing over half the photos. Upon closer inspection, I could tell the photos were there but with a colored background in front of them. I have moved and changed photos. Some stick and show; some don't.
When I view the book on All Pages, I can see all the photos are there, albeit very small. However, when I click on a page to work on it, or enlarge the All Pages any, photos start to move behind the background colors and I cannot tell what photo is there. After much work on this last night, I can see all the pages had all the photos showing (in thumbnail view). At last, I thought. Made a PDF version to preview it, but the PDF has colored background in front of half the photos.
I have spent hundreds of hours on this book and wanted to get it to my dad for Christmas (which will be late now) or before he dies . . . I have never encountered this issue on my other equally large books. Did the operating system upgrade cause this to happen?
Please can someone help me? LaVell

Why are my edited jpegs different after export?

I have a really strange problem that I can't seem to find the answer to anywhere else on the web
It's kind of difficult to understand but I will explain as best I can. So my friend and I have just started a photography business and things are going great. I use a Canon Rebel T3i with either a standard, portrait or telephoto lens. I use Lightroom 5 and after I finish editing my photos, I export them and they look lovely in my folder (I have an Asus laptop and Windows 8 if that helps) however when I upload them to websites like Pixieset or Facebook, the quality of the photo looks nothing like the quality I had edited as. The effects, presets and any other adjustments made to my exported photo become extremely dull and it was like the edit was never done. Even at the highest quality, my photos still look nothing like I edited them!
And what's weirder? My friend uses the exact same program, has the exact same OS and also uses Facebook and Pixieset, along with very similar presets effects etc. and her photos look exactly like they have been edited. I don't understand what's up with that!!! And of course just my luck I am unable to insert a screen capture to show you bc it is for some reason not working. But my export settings are JPEG, sRGB, he quality is 100% and the res is 300 ppi and all photos are very cool toned and dull. I have tried different resolutions, different qualities and even different image formats and every single time I still had the exact same problem Very frustrating!! please offer any advice you can, I have tried everything!
Thank you in advance!

I also have an ASUS laptop running Windows-8 (13") but I only use the laptop for offloading memory cards while on the road so I will need to figure a way to test this to see if it is something in the OS, the ASUS hardware or whatever. I will be heading off for the weekend so I won't be able to do this until next week but the problem is intriguing.
You said you did "another screen calibration"; was this done with hardware/software using a calorimeter or done visually using software? I am assuming you used hardware but wanted to be sure. Also, are you starting with a RAW image, doing your edits and then exporting the RAW image as a JPEG or did you start with a JPEG? In theory, it shouldn't matter but Lightroom does handle JPEG and RAW images slightly differently. Lightroom 5 is much better at handling JPEG edits non destructively than previous versions but the changes should have been baked into the files upon export.
I am not familiar with Pixieset nor am I a Facebook user but, from what I understand about how Facebook operates, there is some compression as well as stripping of metadata from the file when you post it. This shouldn't matter since the edits should have been baked into the JPEG already but I have been in IT long enough to understand that sometimes, the smallest change can have major unexpected consequences. From what you stated, this should be working but it's not. I would like to see if I can duplicate it so any additional information about your processes/workflow would be helpful.

Why is a Screenshot a different color when dropped back in to iWeb in Safar

First post ever, new to iWeb. I took screenshot of an image and dropped the screenshot PNG back into my iweb pages. It blends correctly with the background color in IE (on a Vista PC) and Firefox on both Mac and PC but the color has shifted significantly in Safari so it doesn't blend at all. Is this a color profile issue with Safari? and if so how do I change the png to match the background file? Thanks...

Thanks Alancito for the response. I changed my Mac to 2.2 Gamma etc as your link suggested but it did not help. Its not really a color from monitor to monitor or monitor to printer issue.
The issue occurs because of the way Safari handles the snapshot of the section of the iWeb page - it is darker than the background therefore it doesn't blend. IE and Firefox show the blend correctly because they are ignoring the color profiles. Safari is looking for color profiles so the solution seems to be to change the snapshot color profile to match the iWeb background profile. I don't know what that is, how to do it or where to do it. Any suggestions?

Why are the gamma settings different when I watch Final Cut projects on Quicktime?

I added a Gamma Correction filter to my video clips in Final Cut Express 4, and after exporting the project into a Quicktime file, the video shows up brighter and washed out in my Quicktime 7 player. I've even checked the box in Quicktime Preferences to enable Final Cut Studio color, and the video still looks brighter than it should be. What can I do to fix this?
Here is a side-by-side view of the Canvas on left and Quicktime on right.
I am sending this to someone as they will upload it, so to prevent any possible mishaps, my other question is are the settings from what we see from Final Cut the official one? Or is what I'm seeing on Quicktime what I will be seeing if I were to watch it streaming from a website?

It's a huge issue that has existed for years. Legacy QT used to have the Gamma set to 1.8 but since to 2.2. FCP however has no way (other than adding another effect) to adjust this. It does only affect some codecs however. Adobe After Effects has a check box in the project settings for 'Legacy Gamma in Quicktime'.
ProRes422 has a button for Automatic Gamma. One day they might add it to all the codecs - who knows.
In the meantime you could just add a gamma curves effect and adjust it to be 0.3 darker.

Why are old apps from different user account still on iPad 2 when I changed to a new itunes account?

I am a teacher and we are setting up accounts for our iPad carts, and we originally had one account for all our iPads, and have now switched to using three separate accounts. When I logged into iTunes with our new ID for the cart, and tried syncing an iPad, it still had the old apps on the iPad that I was trying to sync with the new account. The apps were also still in the iTunes Library, which I thought was odd since they are from the different account. So are these apps supposed to still be on the iPad, and if not what should we do?

If the apps are still in the iTunes library on the computer that you are syncing them from then they will remain on the iPad - more thatn one account can be authorised on a computer's iTunes (via the Store > Authorise This Computer drop-down menu option), the account doesn't need to be the one that is logged in. If you don't want those apps on the iPads anymore then you could delete them from that computer's iTunes
