Why are grey colors displayed as brown colors in both PS and AI of the CCcloud on Windows 8?

I have a new Asus Ultrabook with Adobe PS and AI installed from creative cloud. Unfortunately colors are displayed wrong in both programs.
Can somebody help me out?
Kind regards,
Patrick

Most likely not and it doesn't necessarily mean that your screen is bad.
Is this a manufacturing mistake from Asus? Is their something I can do or do I need to sent it back?
Most manufacturers do not include manufacturer supplied color profiles for their screens and the calibration is left to the users to make the color profiles themselves. By default Windows assigns the sRGB color space for the monitor profile. For monitors that come with manufacturer supplied color profiles the name of the profiles are not with the names of standard color spaces. So, I don't know how you ended up with your monitor profile being AdobeRGB in the first place as shown on your first screen shot. Anyway, manufacturer supplied monitor profiles in most cases are not any better than those without profiles. This is because they can not afford to calibrate each unit individually but only a few and make a guess about the rest of the units and create the profile that is what they think an average color space of all units but they could be very wrong.
Most computer users are not designers and even a lot of designers don't create custom color profiles for their monitors. If the color space of the monitor luckily is closer to the color space of the monitor profile it may be good enough for a lot of users. If it is not the users may experience unexpected colors due to color management conversions without correct color profile. The monitor color profile tells the color managed programs how your monitor displays colors and if the profile is not correct the colors will be wrong.
To create the monitor color profile yourself for the best result you have to use a color measuring device and calibrating software that works with it but unfortunately this cost additional money. There are free programs for generating color profiles like this one without using color measuring devices but relying on eyeballing. These profiles are not as good as those created with color measuring device but most likely will be better than the default profile.

Why are my installed extentions on FF 5.01 suddenly not showing up in the add-ons window tab (to change preferences), even though the extentions (like Google toolbar and Awesome Screenshot) are visible on the FF interface?

My Google toolbar was working fine earlier this morning. A few hours later, the search window stopped opening new tabs. I did some snooping and discovered that none of my extension add-ons were showing up in the add-ons tab. However, the appearance and plug-ins are still listed. When I click on the Extensions tab there is just a small box that says "You don't have any add-ons of this type installed." However, my Google toolbar, Add Blocker, and Awesome Screenshot etc. is still visible in the FF interface. When I try to uninstall the Google toolbar using the options button on the toolbar itself, nothing happens. What's up?

Same solution as dplavin. Thanks!
Afterwords there were some changes in Add-ons that were enabled/disabled that then had to be straightened out.
I disabled Test Pilot which was in the process of testing thinking that it might have had something to do with the problem. I have not updated to the latest version of 5.0 because one favorite Add-on [Firegestures] is supposed to be incompatible.

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

The desktop image is fine, taken from the exact same pool of jpg photos. However, as soon as the slide show screen saver comes on, the images are scrambled. What is it about the apple screen saver algorithm that scrambles the pics?

HT4515 why are my text messages all of a sudden in green and do not say delivered?

why are my text messages all of a sudden in green and do not say delivered? Also for the first time since I obtained the phone I went to use the headphones and the insert to headphones is very loose and I can connect for about 10 seconds then nothing, I do believe it is the jack that inserts into the phone or the phone receptacle is bad or the headphone piece that goes into the phone is bad it is not working is the main issues. Thank you

I should also mention we have 2 other iPhone users and 1 Samsung s5 user in my home not having the same problem.

In imovie 11, with an iMac, latest Mountain Lion, sometimes I insert a still and when I playback, the previous image freezes the last frame and holds during the duration I set for the still, skips both transitions, and jumps to the next clip. why?

What are best practices for managing my iphone from both work and home computers?

What are best practices for managing my iphone from both work and home computers?

Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans withiTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.

Are there any events to script a component when dragged and dropped into the parsys area?

are there any events to script a component when dragged and dropped into the parsys area?

The cq:listeners node of a component's cq:EditConfig has a number of events that fire with relation to the edit mode drag'n'drop stuff. You would probably want to hook one or more of the insert ones (beforeinsert, beforechildinsert, afterinsert, afterchildinsert).

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.

Colors displaying as dull yellowy-green; new monitor and calibration

Just got a new ASUS LCD monitor, and calibrated it with the Spyder 3 Express.
Now when I import a .CR2 file using Lightroom 3 to edit the RAW image, the color is displayed as yellowy-gray and dull. It looks the same when I pull it into Elements 7, unless I remove all color management (which, if I save the image, actually then renders the image colors neon and oversaturated with lots of pink and red tones). If I export the image from Lightroom 3 the image colors are correct and very different from how they look in Lightroom.
I also use the ACR editor with Elements 7 and I am having the same problem there. Upon opening an edited Jpeg or a .CR2 RAW file there, the color is displayed as dull, grayish yellowy-green.
If I view the very same image in GIMP, Picasa or on the web, as long as the colorspace is intact (sRGB), the color is accurate. Not so in Elements or Lightroom.
If you have experience with this problem is it the monitor, the calibration, or Elements and Lightroom? I am beyond frustrated and need to see my colors properly. I have not had this problem before.
Thanks for your time.

I suggest re-reading C S S Simon's and my reply, including the links I provided with solutions and historical explanation – It is apparent you didn't!
Pay your money and make your display choice, but don't blame the wide gamut capable display because you are unwilling to learn how to use the technology advantages it provides!
Please read this factoid:
All Wide Gamut Displays when properly setup to display in a "wide gamut" mode such as Adobe RGB will only display images correctly in color managed applications – PERIOD.
Your Asus display has two factory calibrated modes, Adobe RGB and sRGB, which will only work properly using the color profile provide to you on CD (or downloaded) by Asus – This the monitor profile Asus used when hardware calibrating your specific serial number monitor at the factory. The displays internal LUT contains that calibration information, and there is no way for you to recalibrate it using a Spyder 3 or other hardware calibrator. I am going to paste here three separate solution alternatives I made at the other post – Use only one (1):
Solution 1) Delete your i1 Display custom profile and install the Asus provided PA246Q driver and profile. Then use the monitor's "factory calibrated" Adobe RGB wide Gamut selector mode with Lightroom and other color-managed applications. When using non-color managed applications, switch your monitor’s mode selector to sRGB. Calibration using i1 Display or other hardware device cannot be used with this option. User hardware calibration should only be performed using the monitor's 'User Mode.'
Solution 2) In addition to your Asus PA246Q wide gamut monitor, install a second standard gamut sRGB monitor. Calibrate both monitors separately using your i1 Display unit, which will create separate profiles for each monitor. Use your Asus PA246Q wide gamut monitor only with Lightroom and other color managed applications. Use your second sRGB monitor for with both non-color or color managed applications. You may still have issues properly calibrating your Asus PA246Q monitor with its proper 'User Mode' selection as others have reported, but the results should be better than what you have now.

Solution 3) If none of the above works for you, get rid of the Asus PA246Q and buy a good standard "non-wide gamut sRGB display.

Why are times not displayed in Monthly view of iCalendar?

After the last update, the times for events in the monthly view in Calendar are no longer displayed? I have checked preferences and cannot find how to get this back. It did before and I used it for my office for appointments and I need the times displayed. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Try making the window a little bigger. I think it truncates time for space. I see time on mine.

Why are some webfonts displaying all jagged?

I am running the latest Muse release and I notice that some webfonts display all jagged on regular screens although they display perfectly clean on Retina displays.
However, some others display just fine on both type of screens (regular and Retina).
As an example, here is the same element using both Forum and Ubuntu fonts. It looks clean in Muse, as it does on Retina displays. But it looks awful on regular displays.
Obviously the former have a much better quality, yet regular screens can display elements such as custom fonts pretty good.
In this example, the first screen shot if from my MacBook Pro Ret Display and the second one from my 27" Thunderbolt Display.
Strangely, the Ubuntu font which I've used on another website, displays just fine on both types of screens. I don't get it.
If anyone has any idea about this, I would very much appreciate it. Thank you.

"What are your thoughts Hobson?"
I'd first just like to state for the record that I'm almost completely and utterly convinced that I am not Helen Mirren.
I've noticed a few other similar quirks today at ASC, Cap'n. (Email notifications arriving before the relevant post has started to show in the thread in question ... some recent activity not showing in some communities in "Your Stuff > Communities" and so forth.) So I'm inclined to believe it's more evidence of a low-grade ASC tummy upset of some description.
(Of course, it's also plausible that I might have gone barking mad prior to making this reply. In which case, it would not be prudent to trust my judgment on such matters.)

Why are my Red Line Edge Smart Guide indicators not showing up or continuing the image to the edge o

I have been messing with a single long page layout with scrolling effects. So I have 2 or 3 other objects behind another object pair that I have been trying over and over to get to extend to the edge of the browser by pulling the size anchor of the rectangle object that has a raster fill up to the point where the Red Line Smart Guide line shows up indicating the image will repeat and fill out to the edge of the browser.
The red line seems to only show up for a millisecond will pulling the transform horizontal anchor. Then it snaps past the edge point by 20 pixels. Even when I have "caught" the redline for that millisecond and release the transform anchor, it still doesn't work when previewing or previewing in browser.
Does the object that you want to have repeat to the edge of the browser have to be one object? I have tried experiments with more rectangles with just color fills as well and it's the same sporadic Redline.

In your Muse preferences make sure that your smart guides are turned on:
