Why would my spot colors not show up under my separations preview?

I just sent a job back to press that has 2 spot colors. I let the rip do the separations and I got 3 plates. Black and my 2 spot colors. There is no black that I'm aware of in the document but when I previewed it at the rip, it showed stuff on the black plate.
So, back at the computer, I checked my elements and they look like they are colored correctly so I was going to do a separations preview in ID. Neither of my spot colors are showing up in there. Any thoughts?

Perhaps add the swatch icon to the sep preview, and use a combo icon, the process sq with the spot circle in the middle. But the swatch would out of necessity be unselectable and grayed, so perhaps that would be sufficent. And then there would be the problem of using with more than 10 spots (not unusual for me, BTW), when the preview would be all grayed.
It would be a great idea to have the indication.
Rats, if I hadn't had such a busy day I could of nipped Bob on this one, which I had figured before I finished the first post (six hours late!). I do a of of packaging with eight spots (we're going to start using a ten unit press soon, that should be fun), and perhaps it helped that I use the ink manager frequently just for this, because a job with eight printing spots could also have another three or four spots related to substrate and construction details, so I keep those converted to process until it's time to send off the printer's file.

  • Spot colors not showing correctly in acrobat 11

    Spot colors not showing correctly in the output preview as well as the page correctly. I have a spot pms
    295 on a page in a few different areas of text and backgrounds. The spot color shows on 1 of my backgrounds
    and text and a spot color on another background does not. These items are on the same page. Although I
    can use the eyedropper to check the color of these items and it states the spot color is present. The page
    also prints correctly. Previews not happening.

    I included 3 screen shots from Acobat 11 of the test requested. Also, included the last screen shot from Acobat 9 of same file.
    Which shows correct preview. To eliminate possible ICC profile issue. I did change profiles to all that were in the profile list
    with no change in either test.

  • Why is my site Title not showing in Firefox?

    Hello
    On my site at http://fbibiz.com/, the page Title flashes briefly in the Title bar, but then reverts to 'Mozilla Firefox'. The title tag is in place (correctly as far as I can see).
    Any suggestions, please, as to why my page Title is not showing correctly?
    Thanks,
    Jon

    Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox. <br />

  • Why is the software update not showing up in general settings?

    Why does my software update not show up in general settings?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.1.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
    You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 7.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
    How to Upgrade to iOS 7
    The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
    There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
    To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
    Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
    Go into the iPad's Settings.
    Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
    The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
    Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
    Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
    To upgrade using iTunes:
    First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
    You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
    Now you are ready to begin the process:
    If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
    Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
    After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
    If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
    After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
    From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
    After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
    After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Why is my iPhone 4S not showing my caller Id info while I'm a call

    Why is my iPhone 4S not showing my caller Id info while I'm a call?

    As in the manual page 49:
    Call forwarding, call waiting, and caller ID
    The following information applies only to GSM networks. For CDMA networks, contact your carrier for information about enabling and using these features. See support.apple.com/kb/HT4515.
    Turn call forwarding on or off: Go to Settings > Phone > Call Forwarding. The Call Forwarding icon ( ) appears in the status bar when call forwarding is on. You must be in range of the cellular network when you set iPhone to forward calls, or calls won’t be forwarded. FaceTime calls are
    not forwarded.
    Turn call waiting on or off: Go to Settings > Phone > Call Waiting. If you’re on a call and call waiting is turned off, incoming calls go directly to voicemail.
    Turn caller ID on or off: Go to Settings > Phone > Show My Caller ID.
