LONG lag time switching from other programs to Flash

(Intec-Mac - OSX - 1.5 GB RAM)
Has anyone heard of this before? Any time I switch from any
other open program to a project in Flash, I get a super long wait
time before I'm able to work with Flash again. The lag time
only happens when switching to Flash (I get the spinning
ball of death while the Flash menus load again -EVERY time!)
This happens no matter if I have just Flash open and I'm
switching from the finder back to it or if I have 15 programs open
at once...
It is super frustrating and slowing down my workflow between
Flash and any other programs! I just uninstalled and reinstalled
hoping it would help but got same result - Any help?

Your best bet at this point in time is more RAM, since the
Flash IDE on
mac is only PPC at this time it runs emulated in Rosetta on
Intel macs,
and I've noticed swap times can be quite slow, this is not
unique to
Flash in my experience, it happens whenever I swap in a
resource
intensive app. Parallels is another prime example - and it is
intel
native.
Adobe engineers appear to have a new found love of the Mac,
so we can
only hope the intel native version ships it will be super
zippy.

  • Incredibly Long Lag Time When Working With Effects in Premiere Pro CC 2014

    I am having incredibly long lag times when working with effects in Premier Pro CC 2014.  Like 60 seconds or more.  This also happens periodically when I am doing something as simple as cutting into a timeline (just ripple deleting from and in to an out point). 
    I have a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.9.4 2 GHz Intel Core i7 with 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3. 
    I have seen that some people are having different versions of the same problem.  I do have RedGiant plug-ins, but I am not using any of them in this project.  The Red Giant plugs (again, not being used in the project) include MOJO and Universe.  The previous version most certainly did not work like this.  Any ideas?  I did try moving the Red Giant plugs out of the COMMON folder and "alt" starting up to reset preferences.  Still having same problems.
    A specific example is I have an interview shot.  I add brightness and contrast.  Just making a change to the effect (increasing brightness) causes freezing of the interface and long delays.  I added a piece of transparent video on a top layer to add a CIRCLE to create a vignette effect.  Same deal -- ridiculously long times for effect changes to take place.
    Does anyone have any clues as to how to fix these problems? 
    THANKS FOR ANYONE'S HELP!!!!!!!

    Got the same Error. Previous I worked with a GTX 760, and was hoping to get it fixed with using a GTX 780 6GB. But just as you, didn't solve the Problem.
    Usually I got the Problem solved, with exiting Premiere, restarting it, reset my Workspace. Then the Problem of having the bugged Workspace was gone. And also the Problem of the missing Video Tracks.
    At the moment I started on a new Project. Pretty simple, with only a 21 second DV footage. And here I was switching tabs with my Browser, came back to the Project, and the Video Tracks were gone. I saved, closed Premiere, restated and the Video Tracks are still  missing.
    So I made a new Sequence, voilá the Video Tracks are there. Thus I need to copy and paste the Tracks onto the new Sequence.
    But that is not really a solution!
    I was on the Phone with Adobe, and on Chat, but they couldn't help me. They suggested to get a Tesla or Quadro Card, or at least a GPU that got confirmed as working on their page. I did that, but obviously, that is not the issue.

  • Why am I experiencing long lag times after installing Mavericks?

    I just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks on my Mac Mini;  Why am I experiencing long lag times?

    Not enough free disk space can cause the lag times...
    Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage. Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
    Do you have anti virus software, MacKeeper, and CleanMyMac installed?
    Checked the disk lately?
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click:  Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.
    Make sure to back up all important files first before using OS X Recovery.

  • Line Breaks missing in captions from other programs...

    I've spent the last few hours searching around, and I've been unable to find any solution to a weird thing I noticed.
    I've recently purchased LR 3.4.1 and when I imported a handful of older pics that had had the captions set using Bridge, the line breaks were now gone.
    I then went to Bridge and tested it, and sure enough, it can read line breaks from LR, but the opposite doesn't seem to be true. As part of my work, I get a bunch of photos that other photogs have shot and added captions to via Bridge, but I can't seem to find any check box or setting on how to get LR to read the line breaks.
    Any one have any advice on how to get LR to read line breaks from other programs? I'd hate to have to go through and re-caption each and every single photo, especially when adding the older ones into LR to use it as a DAM.
    Thanks!

    This is a long-standing, annoying bug in Windows LR that has been acknowledged by Adobe:
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/newline_bug_in_caption_text
    Please go to the feedback site and vote for that issue to get fixed.
    It is just a display problem in LR -- the line breaks in the metadata are preserved, and if you enter line breaks in the metadata, they are preserved too.

  • Links from other programs won't open in Firefox

    This has been asked a number of times before, but none of the answers worked for me. I have Firefox 26.0 (the most stable for me) and Thunderbird 24.6.0. After a computer crash and reloading both programs, I first noticed the problem with links from Thunderbird, both clicking and right clicking with "open in browser". But then I remembered trying to open help in MS word and Frontpage which are supposed to open from the internet.
    I have checked that Firefox is the default browser, changed the file (none) file transfer protocol, then deleted it, etc. Nothing helps.

    I now have FireFox 32.0.2 no joy. I have loaded ThunderBrowse which took care of Thunderbird but still can't load links from other programs. I fixed this before (other backups, I crashed my windows C drive and have been trying to restore), but can't remember how. I think it required reloading IE (I had deleted IE on my latest restore), but I have now done that with no joy.
    When I click on a link from another program, nothing happens, and when I right click and am offered "open in browser" nothing happens, and when offered " copy browser link" it doesn't copy.
    I tried resetting FireFox, no joy.
    Noticed control panel "set program access" doesn't hold, always goes back to custom, and defaults to "uses default browser"!
    Please help!

  • HT5958 This new closed Library system stinks. Now you can't access media from other programs. Any work around?

    Let me start by saying I have been using FCP X for a year now and really love it.  We produce a half hour weekly TV series so I put it through its paces on a weekly bases.
    I was horrified to return from the holidays to find out that an automatic update yielded a whole new file system.  By packaging all of the Final Cut Event and Project folders into a single library file you can no longer access the original media from other programs such as Photoshop and After Effects without making two copies of all of the media.  This really cuts into the pipeline.  In the past we were able to recreate new show opens and transitions quickly from within After Effects by linking to the original media in the event folders to use them as source files in compositions.  The same was true of grabbing frames from Original movies for use in Photoshop for promotional materials.  With the use of the Libraries, ALL OF THE LINKS ARE BROKEN.  Yes I know you can right click on a library and still view the files, yes they are still there, but you can't do that from within another program. 
    This Library system doesn't make any sense.  Its a step back from the old system.  It was much easier, quicker, and efficient to move large event libraries and projects off and on the system and backup using Finder.  Now you have to open up Final Cut to do everything and its a lot slower.
    I want to appeal to any Apple developers who monitor this to return to the old system of file management. 

    Media does not have to be stored inside the library. Use the Consolidate library or event to move it to an external location.

  • Outlook 2010 paste from other programs not working.

    Hi,
    Win 7 SP1 x86 w latest patches. Win lang. ENG
    Outlook 2010 SP1 x86 w latest patches. Office lang. ENG
    Regional (date/time and so on) settings EE (Estonia)
    I have about 6 users with same conditions.
    When I'm trying to copy - paste from other programs like IE9, Word, Excel I'm unable to paste into Outlook message body.
    It just wont paste.
    Typically, Outlook shows me "thniking circle" for a millisecond or rarely just hangs.
    There are some exceptions:
    1. I'm able to paste into To: field
    2. I'm able to paste into Subject: field
    3. I'm able to paste even into body if I copied text from Notepad.
    4. I'm able to paste into body when I copied text from another email.
    Additional information:
    Outlook default message format "Plain text" (Rich text, HTML - does'nt matter)
    What I'v tried so far and results:
    1. Repair Office installation trough "Programs and features" - NO LUCK
    2. Changed default paste behaviour from other programs to "keep text only" - NO LUCK
    3. Used SAFE MODE - this helps, paste SEEMS WORKING correctly. Based on my knowledge, SAFE mode mainly disables Add-ins. OK.
    Disabled all Add-ins in normal mode so Outlook shows that "No Active Application Add-Ins" - NO LUCK
    So, I'm out of ideas. I think that this problem starts after installing Office 2010 SP1
    I don't want to uninstall SP1 because for me it's not a solution (SP1 won't dissapear from the list of updates), ok.. agree, it may be
    temporary solution but at the end of the day, there must be something else.
    Any ideas?

    Rename normailemail.dotm to .old when Outlook is closed and see if it works now.
    You can find the file here;

    Thanx, NormalEmail.dotm did not do anything for me but the renaming the Normal.dotm in the same folder did the trick for me. I can paste links again into outlook :)

  • I can't print in Adobe 11.0, I can print from other programs?

    I have confirmed that I can print from other programs.

    I have installed a new printer just today and confirmed the drivers are up todate.
    I have confirmed there are no security issues with the document - documents.
    I have tried printing the document as an image and it still will not print.
    I don't get any errors, just nothing happens.  It doesn't even go into the print que
    Help!

    I tried printing a simple PDF.
    We couldn't print PDF's prior to the replacment of the printer, but I thought replacing the printer might help.
    I have pulled some tech people here at the office to see if there is a common denominator between the computers and or the issues arising and nothing is coming up.
    This is just so odd.

  • Can I share files from other programs or just Adobe apps files. I work with Final Cut and Premiere X

    Can I share files from other programs or just Adobe apps files. I work with Final Cut and Premiere X.? Need to share files up to 6GB.
    I need to know if the 20 gb limit is about all that I share, or if it's just about whatis in the clouds. If I take, recover my limit?
    The speed of upload e download is good?

    The Creative Cloud file storage could be used for video assets but speed and performance might vary based on location. I would suggest you testing it out yourself using your Adobe ID before subscribing. Performance would not change after you joined.

  • Flash Builder "publishes" every time I minimize or switch to other programs.

    On my Mac, when I switch from Flash Builder to Flash Pro, Flash Builder insists on "Publishing", which means I must wait for 30 seconds each time.

  • Firefox 6.0.2 is no longer opening links from other programs even with all extensions disabled

    Firefox updated to 6.0.2 last night and now it will not open any links from outside programs. When you click the hyperlink, the window flashes but Firefox does not respond. I have disabled all extensions, it did not affect the issues.
    Also with this update, I am unable to use Synergy, Firefox locks the cursor to one computer and will not let it move to another.

    I am having the same problem with Firefox version 8.0.1. I checked addons and they are up to date. When I make Chrome my default browser hyperlinks work fine to Chrome.

  • Pages Slow - Long Lag Time

    I'm importing a Pages document that I created on my Mac Mini at work to edit on my iPad 2. I'm having a problem in that there is a terrible lag time as I edit -typing, deleting, adding text, etc. I can push 5-10 keystrokes before anything actually happens in the document.
    This is very frustrating. Can anyone provide any answers?
    Thanks!

    I now have iPad2 (A5 dual 512MB )  and iPod4 ( A4 solo 256 MB ), both loaded with iwork 1.5 and iOS5 . Let me report :
    I think Apple accidently have optimized iOS5 and apps  too agressively for the A5 processors of ipad2 and iphone4s. - ipad1, ipod4 and iphone4 run on the A4 chip.. and these are the devices that lag the most.
    My keyboard is set to german plus additionally 2 international keyboards, so I can switch input characters when typing.
    From what I see : on pad no typing issues so far - all can be left as it is.
    iPod had severe issues in typing. SO I started digging around ( I even restored iOS on it it, but no cure ).
    To make a long story short -- in iPod4 it helped succesfully to
    disable the auto-completion and auto correction features in the keyboard settings and do a reboot:
    where you can shorten often used phrases like: "otw" = "on the way" - I hope you know what I mean. Delete them all. Pages seems to lag on the iPod in such a way that it tries to foresee what I am going to type, "thinking" if it is a sentence or a phrase and if it needs correction..  The A4 cpu ( same as in iphone4 ) seems a bit overloaded with this. And to make things worse the tight memory of the iPod adds to the bad performace. The iPad2 has a faster processor and double the Ram ( this would match also the iphone4s hardware ) , and like I said the issues there are non-present for me on the pad.
    Additionally it helped to limit spotlight search radius, so that it not constantly monitors changes in the device ( apps,contacts and music only for me  - as these do not change that often and with a one time index it is done).
    iOS5 is buggy in very few features, but there heavily. The high cpu/memory usage, the fast battery draining are the worst. I positively see the 5.0.1 update coming soon to adress this. Reports from Developers and a vague anouncement from Apple to adress "battery life" soon indicate there is help on the horizon.

  • How open images from other programs & convert to tiff?

    I am new to digital photography. I usually take 2 to 3 MB images with my Canon Rebel XT and use iPhoto as my basic program to organize images, create albums, and do very basic editing. I'm running on a G4 Powerbook with OS10.3. I expect to upgrade to iPhoto6 soon. I also use Canon's Image Browser (because it does a better job of compression for emailing that my present iPhoto) and an abbreviated version of ArcSoft PhotoStudio which came bundled with my Canon and has editing tools similar to Adobe Photoshop Elements.
    So far I usually use iPhoto's "Preferences/Open in Other" command when I want to open one or more selected images in one of the other programs. I have not found any easy way to locate an image while working in ImageBrowser or PhotoStudio, because iPhoto assigns folder numbers by date, so I'd have to know in which of many numbered folders to look. Placing images into iPhoto albums does not help because while the album names appear in these program's tree view they appear unable to link to them. Canon refuses to answer questions relating to iPhoto and referred me to ArcSoft for any questions about PhotoStudio. ArcSoft says they provide no support for programs bundled with hardware. Typical. What I'd like to know is:
    1. Is there any easy way to locate iPhoto images while I'm in one of these other programs?
    2. Is there any way to copy an entire album from iPhoto to one of these other programs?
    3. I've attended two different digital photo classes in which instructors felt it desirable to convert jpegs to tiffs. One felt it was necessary to reduce the loss of pixels during editing, and the other does it for any image he plans to print, claiming it improves print quality. They recommended getting a special conversion program. Based on responses here to the topic: "Want to save jpeg file as tiff before making edits to photos", others feel that for most amateurs like me this is a minor issue, especially with iPhoto. Testing this I have found, as Kevin Wolfe1 says Feb 12, that compression of a jpeg appears to occur primarily on the first edit and does not sognificantly degrade the image. The programs I mention above appear able to save an edited jpeg as a tiff if desired, but I've noticed also that iPhoto's Export command includes the option to export a jpeg (to desktop or another folder) as a tiff. When I tried this, it did create a file identified as .tif, and I can drag that file back into the iPhoto Library where it remains named as a .tif, and according to iPhoto, this file contains about 5 times the MBs the original jpeg had. What I'm curious to know is, is that a true tiff file or is iPhoto kidding me?
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Typical. What I'd like to know is:
    1. Is there any easy way to locate iPhoto images
    while I'm in one of these other programs?
    In iPhoto 06 you have the option to NOT move imported image file in to the iPhoto library. So they images stay in the place where you put them. With this option the iPhoto library only contains "pointers".
    2. Is there any way to copy an entire album from
    iPhoto to one of these other programs?
    Can't you open an album, select all the images then then use "export"
    3. I've attended two different digital photo classes
    in which instructors felt it desirable to convert
    jpegs to tiffs.
    If you are worried about this then you should be shooting RAW format. In your case the camera is doing the JPG conversion and the "damage" is unrecoverable.
    iPhoto 6 and Tigeer (10.4.x) has a little bit better supportfor raw format images i yu are worried about something that makes such a small difference then you should be woried about the stuf that makes a large difference first.
    You might want to concider this workflow:
    1) use Canon software to download files from camera
    2) use Canon software to convert to TIFF
    3) Import TIFF to iPhoto (using option to NOT consolidate library
    4) specify arcedit, PS or Gimp as your external editor
    Others might want to lt iPhoto do the import and raw conversion but you said you wanted thr photos to be stored outside of iPhoto's library system you you can find them with out having to do an export.
