Having extreme problems using the new iMac, adobe CS5 (in particular InDesign) and OSX 10.8.2 (and now also 10.8.3) Mountain Lion

Is anyone else experiencing the same thing? My computer is 2 months old and has hardly any files stored on it. Also, my
Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB and my memory is 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3.
I am only running one thing on the computer as we speak - making a small pattern in InDesign - yet is has been frozen for over 20 mins, and that's not the first time this has happened.
I updated to the latest Mountain lion this morning (10.8.3) and its exactly the same.
I dont understand why this is happening, but on the older iMac i could run several windows of the entire creative suite without a problem - i was also using Snow Leopard.
please help!

Do you have any Security/Anti-Virus software installed? Mackeeper? Any Third Party programs you have installed recently?

  • Is anybody else having big problems using the new pages?

    Everything has moved and even the help section isn't that helpful. I have been sitting in class for over an hour trying to make a portfolio, but can't because everything is so different. I have no idea how any of the changes are supposed to make it simpler. You can't even save as a word document! Instead there's all this export rubbish. I'm going to fail this class because of the new pages update. I have been putting off this update for weeks but since the newest OS update, everything is automatically updating so I had no choice. Actually make it easier, or make it possible to undo the update.

    It's been 7 months since it came out. Didn't you read the reviews in the App Store? Plus all the forum posts here?

    Use Pages '08/'09 it should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

  • I am having a problem using the help menu in Adobe elements 5

    I am having a problem using the help menu in Adobe elements number five.
    When I open the help menu, the dialogue box defaults to an unreadable display font. Is there any way to change that default font? Using the help menus to find a solution is not possible for I cannot read what it is displaying.

    For product, there is an option in preferences where we can set fonts. There are two options: One is application font and other is system font. I am talking about elements 8 which I have but not sure that will solve your problem which is help related.
    Hope Help in 5th version is html which opens in Browser? Please confirm.

    Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - requires SSL:

    Follow the instructions below to set up IMAP1 access in most email clients.
    Google Apps users, please follow the default instructions unless otherwise noted, replacing 'your_domain.com' with your actual domain2 name.
    this is all greek to me. WHAT IS STARTTLS? On the first page of Apple set up there is a TLS certificate and it is marked NONE- should I change it to the long APPLE CERT option?  The next page under ADVANCED: THERE IS A BOX SSL MARKED.  Then IMAP Path Prefix - I put stmp.gmail.com.. is that right?  Port 993 can  use this one? as 456 doesn't work and 587 said it wasn't safe.  Under AUTHENTICATION I used PASSWORD.  Should I have used external client cert TLS?
    Please help me set this up securely. Thanks

  • Is anyone having a problem with the new iPad (Gen. 3) not staying connected to the charger? It seems to ALWAYS get jiggled loose and no longer be charging. My iPad 1 has no issue but I can't browse Internet w/o new iPad unplugging. Horrible!

    I notice that my new IPad (3rd generation) will not stay connected to the power cord at all, I'm not exagerating, if I plug it in and browse the Internet without fail it will become unplugged and I will have to push the plug back in (Ba-beep). Ive actually grown to despise that sound when you plug your iPhone or iPad in because it reminds me of how much money I spent on something that PHYSICALLY will not charge while I'm using it.
    I know the problem with it holding a charge while in use, I get it, the screen is amazing and it takes a lot to run the display, however, it is unacceptable to me that I can't even keep the thing plugged in while I'm using it. I can not even leave it on my Cal King bed overnight because I will wake up in the morning to find that the plug has been jiggled loose in a corner, so it's still attached but not making a connection thus not being charged. 
    I love the 4GLTE from Verizon and I love the iPad, but I'm actually using my 1st generation IPad while I am at home so I can leave my new $900 iPad on a table to charge free of incident so I can use the 4G while I'm away from wifi during the day. I have been getting more upset about this because I can not even use the Griffin extended cord to charge the iPad and be far from the plug because only the original apple sync/charge cord will have a better shot at staying in. Absolutely none of my non apple cables will stay in the iPad 3 while having it in my hands.
    The plug is at an angle, unlike the first iPad, not sure about the iPad 2. Please let me know if they have same issue.
    If anyone else is having this problem with the Gen 3 iPad please let me know because I'm tempted to do something about it with apple and I'm hoping that I just for some reason have a bad cable receiver or something and maybe I can get a replacement and enjoy the iPad as I had expected to. There is no reason why I should be even using my first iPad and I have friends that want to buy it but I am not selling it because I'm unable to sell it because I can't handle the new iPad while it's plugged in, that is ridiculous if it's a common issue so please let me know!

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

  • Can you use the new iMac with FCS.

    This is one of those a friend of a friend of a friend told me this.  His friend, who shoots video that's shown on a local access channel, just bought the latest iMac.  I don't know what this person's set up is or what kind of equipment is, but he claims that he might have to upgrade his cameras because he can't import the footage.  I'm interested in investing in the new iMac but hesitate because I do a lot of amateur video work (weddings, birthday parties, etc.)  Anyone heard anything about this?  By the way, I use a two year old HD Sony video camera and use FCS 7.  All video is stored on an external hard drive.

    The current 27" iMac's with Thunderbolt will run the whole suite of Final Cut Studio apps just fine.  The catch will be your external Scratch Drive.  Until Thunderbolt drives ship in a couple of months, you're stuck with FW800, which barely cuts it for serious HD work.  Thunderbolt will change that.
    One option is to get the configuration that has both an SSD and a 1TB 7200rpm HDD drives in it.  The SSD would be your OS drive, the HDD your Scratch Drive.  That would work fine.
    As for professionals, I teach them, guys from huge cable news networks, who've been using FCP since v.1.  I'm amazed how many of them walk away even after the 1st day of class with whole new workflows.  You never stop learning in any profession.  The day you do, you're out dated.
    The model of Mac you use has nothing to do with your ability to import footage.  The version of FCP you use CAN affect that a great deal, though.
    Specifically what make/model camera do you plan to be using for this work?  BTW, weddings and events are a very profitable niche profession.  I have friends who make good livings for years doing only that.

  • New imac & adobe cs5 installation

    i just bought my first imac and adobe cs5 student along with it. installed it just fine and everything but when i went to the applications folder on the dock, the install put all the cs5 folders in the applications folder. is that we're they're supposed to go or should i made the installation place the folders somewhere else? sorry i dont know much about the OS yet.
    what i eventually want to do is place the icons for photoshop and illustrator on the dock too. i think all i do for that is drag them there after, and if, i can move the app folders.
    thanks in advance!

    It installed correctly. Also I'd STRONGLY recommend you study these sites because you are new to OS X. Don't just gloss over them study them!

  • Anyone having no problems w/ the new extreme?

    I am in the market for finally getting a new comp or comps. and want to get a wireless network. I was going to get the new extreme. But it seems like people are having problems w/ it.
    Is there anyone out there that hasn't had any issues with it?
    I wouldn't be running cross platforms or extensive networks. Just 2 wireless computers (A macbook pro and a macbook), and 1 computer (old g4) hardwired to the base. All they would be doing is using the base station for the internet and a canon printer.
    I hope the new extreme can handle that.
    positive feedback please because I see all the negatives post already.
    Chris

    I know what the problem is but not how to solve it.
    Basically when a computer goes to sleep the connection with the extreme is broken, it appears that when the extreme has nothing to communnicate with it also goes to sleep and cannot be woken up again, The solution seems to be a restart of the extreme.
    I don't suffer from this, I have a number of macs on the network both wired and wireless that don't sleep so the extreme is never alone.
    I'm not sure whether this affects every user in these circumstances or whether it is isolated cases, although given the number of these extremes that must have been sold to people with laptops only, I think the number who are experiencing this is small.
    The significance of whether it is isolated or not is important, if it is only isolated cases then the issue is almost certainly user configuration. If it is that it is widespread then the only likely fix is a firmware upgrade.
    Although I suspect it is not widespread but can't be certain, even if it is, this sort of issue is down to software, which means it can be fixed with the firmware update I mentioned rather than a new extreme.

  • Problem using the new Lightening Plug in my car's USB port?

    I have an 2011 Lexus RX 350 and just got a new IPAD mini.  I tried using the Mini on a recent trip by plugging it into my car's USB port and got a message on the car's entertainment display that it could not recognize the USB device.  Anyone else having this problem?

    Karlfromny wrote:
    I realize that. The plug in question has a USB connector on one side and the new Lightening interface on the other.  The USB side is plugged into the car and the otherside of the cable into the Mini.
    If this is a connector supplied by the electronics manufacturer for use with that radio and iOS devices then something is wrong.  If it supplied by a 3rd party then I wouldn't expect it to work at this stage of the game.  I also suspect that in a few months most manufacturers will have a new system that will work fine with the Lightning connector.
    I have an audio system based upon the Pioneer Z140BH head unit and it worked very well with the iPhone 4S.  It works fine for audio from my iPhone 5 with the 30-pin to Lightning connector but doesn't work at all with the video functions.  Pioneer has announced an adapter that will allow it to work with the iPhone 5 but it won't be available for a few weeks.
    As another said, if this is just a USB connection and not a 30-pin Apple style connection then its not likely to work at all without an update.

  • Is anyone having a problem using the nytimes digital subscription?

    i signed up for the new york times digital subscription on 28 march, then a few days later was told my account was canceled for nonpayment. according to customer service, my account is in good standing. but now when i try to access an article, i'm told i've already used my 20/month and wants me to pay again.
    i cleared the cookies and browsing history; tech support reset my password, but i still can't get access on firefox. no problems with internet explorer.
    any suggestions? thanks

    add me to the list. i have reluctantly concluded that the nytimes digital service is not compatible with firefox. over the past 5 days, i have had daily conversations with the nyt techies, who gave me the same useless advice: clear cookies and browsing history and reset password. i did so, repeatedly, but four passwords and hours of frustration later, the nyt digital service still refuses to recognize me as a home delivery subscriber entitled to total access and instead keeps telling me i have used up my 20 free articles. its techies now tell me that firefox is to blame in some way that they can't explain, and i must use internet explorer to access the nyt site. IE works fine but it is not my browser of choice, and i don't like having it open all day long, given its well known vulnerabilities. i am outraged that the nyt didn't see this problem coming, and is doing nothing to fix it! obviously, they have screwed up in a big way.

  • Using the new imac keyboard on the macbook pro

    is there a software update that allows the use of the new features of the imac keyboard when hooked up to a Macbook pro (core2duo) It would be great if the screen brightness, dashboard keys, etc would function as they are labeled.

    I suppose you're thinking of the 27" iMac that might be used as an ext screen and/or the 24" LED.
    Both come with a MiniDisplayPort input - that will work with current MBpros. If you want to connect an older MacBookPro with only a DVI connector you'll need an additional DVI to MiniDP converter.
    Such animals exist and cost approx 100 Euro like this one: http://www.atlona.com/Atlona-DVI-to-Mini-DisplayPort-Converter-p-17859.html

  • I'm having a problem upgrading the new version of Flash Player.

    Having a problem just UPGRADING my computer to the latest Flash Player. Had no problems doing it in the past, but now when I go through the steps, my computer fails to save the download. Then I can't run it. We have Windows XP. What do I need to do? Is there a TECH SUPPORT number?

    Download the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header (under the heading Progress bar hangs...) and save it to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.

  • Is every one having a problem with the new ios7 operating system?

    The new operating system has made everything operate at a snail' space. Any one else having problems?

    No, it's working very well on both my iPad and my iPhone. Have you tried doing a reset? Press the sleep/wake button and the home button together until the Apple logo appears on the screen, usually takes about 5-10 secs, then release the buttons and allow the iPad to finish rebooting.
    See if it's still slow after this.
