X-rite color Checker Folder Path

I am a photo assistant based in Montreal I'm having issue with X-rite profile location in computer folder...
We did create a custom profile with color checker passport during a shoot, re-starded Lightroom then used the custom profile. From there, everything work fine!
My Problem is that after several shoot we have so many profiles in the list (in Lightroom) so we want to delete some manually in the laptop folder. I have been searching over forum during the past 2 days...every forum say that the good path to see them is:
Library/Applications Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles/
But, iI can't see them in this folder...
My question is: Where did they go and how can I delete/manage these? cause right now we have too much profile in Lightroom profile listing.
We using a Macbook pro laptop (2014) with a 5d mark III
Thanks in advance, Pascal

Non-Adobe profiles reside under your Users folder. See the following page:

X-Rite Color Checker plugin fails to complete profile...

Whereas I'm able to get the desktop version of the Color Checker profile maker to work fine, the X-Rite Lightroom plugin consistently fails to complete a profiling operation--quitting with the message that it "is unable to locate the color checker crop marks" in my image. In one such
"failed" image, the (in focus) color checker occupies about 75% of the frame!
I'm using LR 3.6, Mac OS X 6.8. Latest versions of the X-Rite software. Is this a common problem (making the plugin pretty useless)?
Phil

Yes, the desktop (standalone) version of the software is able to complete a profile--although it does ask me identify the crop marks (btw, the color pattern is in-focus and more than a stop below clipping the white patch).
I can understand that the plugin might fail to detect the crop marks when the pattern is only a small fraction of the frame, or blurred and/or poorly exposed; however the plugin is failing (for me) with a very large pattern--a majority of the frame area---sharp focus and good exposure.
**************update!
Hmmm. As I got ready to post this reply, I tried using the X-rite LR plugin one more time, and...it worked! Can't explain why or what I might have done differently. I had used the desktop profile maker (with another image) a little earlier and then had restarted LR; that restart seemed to have helped(?) even though I'd restarted LR a couple of times yesterday after installing the X-rite plugin. Anyway, the problem is gone now...

Need help using color checker passport with photoshop CS6

Hello all,
I'm having an issue using the Color Checker Passport with Photoshop CS6. Here's my configuration:
Mac Mini using OS 10.8, but very recently updated to 10.9 (Mavericks). My problem is the same on either OS version.
Photoshop CS6 ver 13.0.6 64 bit extended
Adobe Camera Raw 8.4
X-Rite Color Checker Passport ver 1.0.2
Canon 70D shooting RAW in sRGB color space
NEC Multi-Sync LCD monitor calibrated with Spyder 3 Pro ver 4.0.5
Now here's the issue. I go through the recommended workflow and generate a profile with no problem. Then in Camera Raw (after restarting all applications) I apply the profile to a photograph and instead of getting a nice color-corrected image my image has a greenish-yellow tint to it. It's very noticeable and I haven't been able to figure out what I'm doing wrong, if anything. I re-calibrated the monitor, re-did the workflow with other pictures, but still get the same result.
I greatly appreciate any help or ideas on how to remedy this. I've sent an inquiry to X-Rite via their Support Web Page, but haven't heard back from them yet.
Thanks,
Kevin H.

Color Checker Passport W/Elements 12 No/Yes? Light Room?

Yes, I'm at it again with my seemingly endless questions, sorry.
Probably buying, ( no, defintely if compatible,) the X-Rite Color Checker Passport program. I am having difficulty ascertaining definitevly, if the Color Checker program will be FULLY functional with Photoshop Elements 12 without the Light Room program?
I have read the X-rite manual on line and at first there is mention that indicates it is compatible with Elements, but later in the manual it talks about function and proceedure that only mentions Light Room and NOT Elements. Does this mean I need Light Room to perform these particular steps or are they assuming that I do have Light Room if I am at the point these particular steps are being performed? Does this question make sense?
I have so many photo editing and processing programs now I don't know why I would need another but if I have to buy Light Room too, I will.
Look forward to your responses,
P.

Hi hatstead
I was initially thinking the same thing as well. If I can't get the image I want in my own capture I will have to think about a professional. But from many sources I have read that the Passport tool, which is only $99, makes post processing much more effective.
I have tried adjusting the picture that has started this whole purchase of equipment process, with the wonderfully helpful hints from you and many others. This particular picture will not come out to my satisfaction. It looks very nice with many of the things I have done to it and as I have said before, if I were just selling it as a print and not concerned with depicting the ACTUAL ORIGINAL work, I'd be satisfied. Heck, I have even considered creating a series of some of my paintings with different effects and colors for offer as prints. I did this with a photograph of mine and I love the results.
If it were just this one painting I was concerned with I would probably take your suggestion. But I plan on creating more canvases and I don't want to go through this again and I like the idea of controlling my own work flow for multiple projects.
From what I understand, the Color Checker will save me time with more complicated editing techniques. Because my paintings have so much color in varying hues, tones, tints ,etc. throughout the canvass, selecting and adjusting is very difficult for me. Especially when you take into account the depth of the paint on the surface and the texture of the canvass beneath.
I have been working with the program since November as you might recall, and finally got to a comfortable point for dealing with photographs of actual objects. I believe you helped me with some of those issues, . And probably users with many more years of experience might be able to utilize the PSE program to conduct PP on canvas paintings but I need to be able to post the images of the canvasses sooner rather than later. "Time is money..."
If I have the Color Checker Passport I should be able to take advantage of "minor PP" with Elements 12, at least that is my goal.
The Light Room software may be within my financial means as well if it is required. Do you know if it is required to operate Passport with Elements?
Always thankful for your input,
Regards,
P.

'The folder path "C:" contains an invalid character.' ERROR AS I INSTALL iTunes

hi
first of all, merry xmas to all that celebrate! i hope you had/have a memorable day!
and wishing everyone the very best for the new year.
Now, I have a problem when I try to install iTunes on my computer. I'm running:
- Windows Vista (Home Basic)
- iTunes 10.5.2.11
i have sufficient hard-drive space and sufficient ram. its definetly NOT from that. I originially DID HAVE iTunes already installed on my computer, but I was frequently having problems with establishing a connection through my iPhone 4. So I thought it would be a good idea to delete it and try downloading a new version, then install it fresh!
I have some computer skills and knowledge, and i know how "most" things work and run. But now I am totally stuck. I run the iTunes software to be installed, but the installer keeps giving me an error message and NOT installing. I've done all the easy and required steps after I deleted the original version of iTunes from my computer, and now I need help from someone who really knows their stuff in IT and computer software. I have a feeling it may be a string of codes that are corrupt or significantly different to what they should be, but thats just my guess! cos like i already said, ive tried all the common fixes already but have been unsuccessful thus far. Some of the things I did were:
- Restart the computer, re-boot, login to Windows, run the iTunes installation
- Turn off the computer, wait 10 minutes, re-boot and then run the iTunes installation
- Delete ALL the "Apple" company software that was still installed on my computer (QuickTime, iPhone Utility, iPod, Bonjour, etc etc)
- Confirm my "User Account Control" is OFF
- Run the iTunes installation file from my secondary windows login account (which has "Administrator" privilages)
- Create a new windows login account, turn off the UAC (User Account Control protection), then try installing iTunes
- Run disk-error checks on my hard-drives incase there are missing/corrupt/misplaced files that needed repair
etc etc etc etc
Nothing worked! THIS BELOW IS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM I KEEP GETTING WHEN I DOUBLE-CLICK ON THE iTUNES INSTALLER:
- Double click on the iTunes install icon
- The "Trusted File Security Warning/Confirmation" window appears, requesting I confirm to Run or Cancel the software installation. I click on "Run"
- A horizontal grey bar appears in the middle of the screen, and quickly fills up green
- Then a small installation windows appears (Windows Installer) that writes "Preparing to Install". Then it very fast writes a couple different sentences (which is normal), specifically the sentences are "Performing installation checks" and "Checking spacing requirements".
- immedietly after the previous step, another window appears and I hear the "error" audio tone. The ERROR MESSAGE has the Yellow Triangle logo with an exclamation mark in the middle, and beside it displays the following text (and Ive attatched the screen shot too):
THE FOLDER PATH "C:" CONTAINS AN INVALID CHARACTER
then below this message theres the "OK" button which I have no choice but to click on. then the next window that appears is as follows (see screenshot), and it reads:
iTunes Installer Completed
The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured.
Errors occured during installation. Your system has not been modified.
Please run the installer again, or click Finish to exit
Please I beg you guys to help me, I will be extremely grateful for ALL and ANY advice/tips/assistance/solutions I receive. And would owe you one for sure!!
Please feel free to write your opinions and thoughts on what I could do different, as Ive used up all my knowledge regarding the matter, and have seriously hit a brick wall now.
Thanks so so so much, and once again I wish everyone the absolute very best!
regards.
PS. Replies can be posted in this thread, otherwise even sent to me via email if you wish to do otherwise. My email address is: [email protected]

Resolution:
Check for the existence of a hidden folder named %appdata% in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Application Virtualization\Client folder. (You will need to un-check the folder options box in windows explorer for "Hide
protected operating system files" to see it)
If the hidden %appdata% folder exists, delete it.
Proceed to uninstall the App-V client
After a clean uninstall and removal of remnants of the client, reinstall the client again and apply the latest hotfix available (Hotfix 2 for SP2 at a minimum).

In an Excel template file, can I set the Folder Path in the SaveAs Dialog box?

I have an Excel template file (xltm) and, with help from the forum, I now have a Workbook_BeforeSave subroutine to save the template as a macro enabled file (xlsm). I’m so thankful for that help from Edward in the forum.
I also want to set the default folder location to save the file. I really only need it when the template is saved as a new xlsm file, because if they open the xlsm file, it’s usually opened from the default folder path so any save would normally go back
to where the file was opened. However, with a template (even if the template is in the default folder) the Saved template reverts back to the user’s documents folder.
Is there a good way to do this?
I tried to modify the Workbook_BeforeSave code like this:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim FolderDir As String
Dim FileNameVal As String
FolderDir = "Z:\save\data\place\"
If SaveAsUI Then
If Dir(WorkBookFolder, vbDirectory) <> "" Then
Application.DefaultFilePath = WorkBookFolder
End If
FileNameVal = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(, "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm), *.xlsm")
Cancel = True
If FileNameVal = "False" Then 'User pressed cancel
Exit Sub
End If
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FileNameVal & ".xlsm", FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub
But there are a lot of checks that would need to be done.
I'm not sure how to only default the folder saved only when they open the template, but not change it when they just open an already saved Excel file created by the template (with all the active content, macros, etc.).
Alan Edwards

Hi Alan,
store the path\filename in the 1st argument:
FileNameVal = Application.GetSaveAsFilename("C:\*.xlsm", "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm), *.xlsm")

Can't update to 10.5 on Win7 - Folder Path contains an invlaid character error

Tried to update to 10.5 with Win 7 (64bit) and keep getting the error - Folder Path AppData/Roaming contains an invlaid char. Same error if I try to uninstall itunes. Any ideas on how to proceed?

Tried to update to 10.5 with Win 7 (64bit) and keep getting the error - Folder Path AppData/Roaming contains an invlaid char.
That's a rarish path to see in this context. (There must be an itunes preference file update involved in the 10.5.x install.)
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeksare worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

The Folder Path "My Documents contains an Invalid Character"

Hello.
I have a major problem at hand.
I presently have iTunes 7.6 on my Dell laptop
when i try installing itunes 7.7 or 7.7.1, it gives an error
"The folder path my documents contains an invalid character"
I scoured the internet, but to no avail...
Please help
Sometime back, the name of My Documents have been changed to "id" by mistake
Then itunes 7.6 also wasnt working.. Then i went to the registry and changed all the folder paths, and then it was working....
So, please help...
Thanks!

If the same problem occurs in another account, it suggests the message is misleading and the problem is not with My Documents itself.
That is unless you have changed the path c:\Documents and Settings which is common to all accounts.
It sounds as though there is a registry key set with corrupt information somewhere that you haven't found yet.
Something you could try is a complete removal of iTunes according to the following method. I have also included instructions for installer clean up which you should do if one of the uninstalls fails. I am guessing that the iTunes uninstall might fail with a similar message.
== uninstall with cleanup ==
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete and file or folder called Quicktime.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

"The folder path 'Accessories/Quicktime' contains an invalid character."

After countless attempts to install iTunes 9.2.1 for Windows 64-bit processors I keep getting this message: "The folder path 'Accessories/Quicktime' contains an invalid character."
How do I correct this so I can install and finally use iTunes?

It usually indicates trouble with one of the msi files for an existing program on the PC that is being updated by one of the installers in the iTunes64Setup.exe bundle ... but I'm not familiar with that particular Accessories/QuickTime folder path myself.
Can you check something for me please?
Do a search for an "Accessories" folder on the PC. Do any of them have a "QuickTime" subfolder inside them? If so, what is the full file to those directories?
(Trying to work out which particular msi is causing the trouble ... or if there's a slightly different cause of the problem afoot.)

Error 1324: the folder path 'webi/' contains an invalid character

Hi pros,
I am getting this error when trying to install bobj xi 3.1 client version. the service pack is zero.
however, i previously had bobj xi 3.1 server / client components installed and bobj 4.0 client tools.
i uninstalled bobj 4 and bobj xi 3.1 server components from control panel. also, deleted them from registry.
still i am getting the above error.
kindly advise.

Hi,
Can you please check the following thread which is for the exact same question :
error 1324: the folder path 'webi/' contains an invalid character
Regards
Steph

The folder path 'C:' contains an invalid character.

"The folder path 'C:' contains an invalid character."
I get this error message whenever I try to install iTunes 7.0.2.16 (the most recent version). I tell it to install with all the default paths, options, everything. I have tried changing the path to see if that fixes it but it unfortunately seems to have no effect on it.

i'm about two months out of date with the state of the art on treatments for this particular one. but there's a few possibilities we can follow up on until someone more up to date on this comes to rescue us.
let's first check on the InstallShield advice for the 1324 error. (you're not getting that number, but the error message is often a 1324 in disguise.)
see:
Error -1324: The Folder Path Contains an Invalid Character
if no joy there, we'll try the advice from the following MS kbase article. (although it's about a different application, it has been of some help in the past with this sort of error.)
You may receive one of three error messages when you try to install Streets and Trips or MapPoint
(typically i turn to that latter on when the invalid character message cites the My Pictures folder ... but it's probably worth a crack nonetheless.)

Error when uninstalling App-V RDS client: Product: Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Client for Remote Desktop Services 5.0 Service Pack 2 x64 -- Error 1324. The folder path 'C:' contains an invalid character

Issue: experienced when attempting to uninstall the App-V 5.0 SP2 RDS client.
Event Log: Product: Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Client for Remote Desktop Services 5.0 Service Pack 2 x64 -- Error 1324. The folder
path 'C:' contains an invalid character
Symptoms (when in this current state):
Unable to uninstall the SP2 client
You can upgrade the client (via hotfix) and uninstall the hotfix, but you will not be able to remove the SP2 client
AppvVfs filter driver will not create an instance, therefore applications will not be able to read into existing streamed VFS content, or trigger sparse files to stream content. (you can still stream the content via other means, like the UI or powershell)
Because of the AppvVfs filter driver not instantiating, applications that depend on licences that exist in VFS will not be able to be read causing certain applications to react as if the license does not exist or is an incorrect format

Resolution:
Check for the existence of a hidden folder named %appdata% in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Application Virtualization\Client folder. (You will need to un-check the folder options box in windows explorer for "Hide
protected operating system files" to see it)
If the hidden %appdata% folder exists, delete it.
Proceed to uninstall the App-V client
After a clean uninstall and removal of remnants of the client, reinstall the client again and apply the latest hotfix available (Hotfix 2 for SP2 at a minimum).

The Aperture Library could not be created at "/Volumes/Data/Aperture Library.aplibrary". Check the path and try again.

Hi,
I cannot reopen library. During opening aperture I can see a list of libraries. After selection "Aperture library.aplibrary" (default I guess) msg box is open
"Library info directory path contains a file where a folder was expected.
The Aperture Library could not be created at “/Volumes/Data/Aperture Library.aplibrary”. Check the path and try again."
Moreover, aperture library is not visible in other apps like Final Cut X Pro. I assume this is caused by the aperture problem.
Can anybody help me?

Sounds strange.
Did you try to double click your "Aperture Library.aplibrary"?
Maybe trying to open backuped library...
Or creating a new library by pressing the alt key when clicking on the Aperture Dock icon.

Lightroom 5.5 and Color Checker Passport

have found out the problem with not being able to export images. If I create and use a color profile using Color Checker Passport it will not allow the images to be exported using 'edit in' if I use a standard Adobe profile then it will export as normal....

Mine Edit In PS 2014 in either case. When you say “will not allow” do you mean PS never opens or that PS opens but the image never does?
I wonder if there is a permission problem on the custom-user-profiles folder that such non-Adobe profiles are stored in.
