Problem of crashing in Ill. CS5 when working with big files.....

Hello, I'm working as a cartographer at Port of Rotterdam and frequently work with big maps in Illustrator CS5. As soon as the filesize exceeds 150 MB, and especially when small rasterfiles (mostly jpg's) are placed inside the document, either embedded or not-embedded, me and my collegue get notifications indicating "Can't show preview"or worse: The operation can't be concluded due to lack of RAM (dutch translation). This being a last warningsign just before CS5 collapses and it thus becomes impossible to make any Save on the document.... The hardware we work with: Quad Core 3GHz;NVidia Quadro 1GB;Windows XP with SP3, DirectX9; 8GB int. memory. We hope to find out the reasons of the frequent collapses and if you know of any possible solutions. On behalf of many of my collegues, thank you in advance for replying, greetings, Fred van Eck

There can be other causes for instance if your scratch disk is fragmented and if your scratch disk has gotten overloaded with actual files storage.
Or if the permissions for the scrtch has been changed for some reason.
The scratch need a lot of free contigious free space to work well with large files.
Even with CS 6 you can have a problem if your scratch is not healthy.
Do you have a dedicated drive or partition of one as a primary scratch, does the scratch have a fast enough buffer (cache)? Current drives run 32 MB and 64 MB cache.
Is the file stored on a fast disk?
If you work on large files consider storing them on a RAID 0 for while working on them and storing the final some where else.
CS 6 should be helpful but you need lots for RAM I would not run a system and work on large files with 8GB of memeory 16GB should be your minimum.
If you are working in a professional envoronment then you really need a professional set up and make your life easier and save money in the time you save.
It is expensive to set up but wotth it in the end.

Very slow responce when working with Office file on DFS-Share

Very slow responce when working with Office file on DFS-Share
We have implemented the following configuration
Domain level Windows 2000. Two member servers with Windows Server 2008 R2, sharing the same DFS namespace with, at the moment, one folder target called Home.
Users complaining that the access to different MS Office files is very slow. Even creating a new MS Word document using right click context menu takes up to 4 minutes to open. Saving, for example, one singe Excel sheet takes also few minutes.
Tested with both, MS Office 2007 and MS Office 2010. Makes no difference. When using Office 2010 you can see the message like contacting:
\\DomainName\Root\Home\UserName. Other files like TXT, JPG or PDF are not affected.
What makes the thing really weird is the fact, that the behavior described above can absolutely change after client machine being rebooted, suddenly everything becomes very fast and this condition can revert back again just after the next
reboot.
Considerations until now:
1. This has nothing to do with the file size. Even tiny files are affected.
2. AD Sites are configured correctly and the client workstations see themselves in the correct sites.
3. This is not an Office issue. If I map my folder target not as DFS, but directly as shared network drive
\\ServerName\Root\Home\UserName , everything functions as expected
What makes me suspicious: when using f.e. TCPView to monitor connections, I can see, that each time I make any operation on an office file, there will be a connection established to one of the domain controllers, sometimes to remote ones,
located in other countries. But on the other side, even if the connection is established to the nearest DC, operations are still very very slow!
Just forget to say. All clients are Windows 7
Thanks to all who respond.

Dear all,
sorry for the delayed reply. The problem has been solved now and since September 19<sup>th</sup>. everything is functioning as expected.
What was done:
Deleted replication targets excepting the initial ones
Carefully recreated folder targets
Deleted and recreated replication groups
Disabled SNP features on both namespace servers
Created EnableTCPA registry entry
Checked that the following Updates are installed

Working with big files

I would appreciate any suggestion as to how best one can work with big files. I have eight one hour tapes containing information about various places I visited. Some contain only one place while others can contain two or more places. As a preference I like to create up to one hour DVDs that contain an identifiable segment; eg either one place only or more but I do try not to break up a place and record it on two DVDs. However, the problem I faced in the past, is that by the time I get to the end of an hour, the program Premiere Elements 7 (PE7) is getting slow and keeps telling me that it is running out of memory. That is despite the fact that I have 3 GM of RAM and over 200 GB of dedicated separate hard drive. I tried saving segments under ‘Share’, ‘DV AVI’ and selecting ‘DV PAL Standard’ (the system I use), but the result, as far as quality was concerned, was very disappointing. There is no option to change or set quality as was the case in previous versions of PE. Nor can I combine two .prel files into one while I am editing.
Is there any other way I can work in segments, say 15 minutes, and combine them at the end without losing on the quality?
Any suggestion would be most appreciated.
Tom

Hi Steve
It is a Sony DCR-HC40E PAL, and they were captured as AVI clips.
The project settings are:
General – not highlighted but it shows DV Pal and 25.00 frame/second
Video – 720 horizontal 576vertical (4/3)
Display format - 25 fps Timecode
Capture – DV Capture

Unexpected problem: uncaught exception when working with audio files in Soundtrack Pro

Hey,
Whenever I double click an audio file in the timeline to work on it, I end up getting the Error message: "Unexpected problem: uncaught exception" and Soundtrack Pro eventually crashes. Also, this happens when I try to work with audio files in the file editor. I have Leopard and am using Logic Studio 8. Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks
Matt

Didnt know how to remove the original clip from the STP arrange window - or whatever it's called in STPro. So I could go no further in my perverse science experiment.
It also appeared that I could only import an aif but not a wav?
I gave up on STPro and did what I needed to do in Logic, which I use regularly.
Thank you for folowing up on this.
PS. I used to use an old PowerPC version (1.0.3) of STPro and loved the way it visually showed the change in the waveform when you added each efffect. It appears that the new version (3.0.1) does not allow you to do this anymore? You can render or flatten the effects to see the final waveform, but then you are dead in the water and cant make changes?
Im such a newbie at STPro that I am probably not using it right?

Disable updating of the menu widget when working with Muse file?

First of all thank you Adobe for creating Muse - I really like it a lot!
My question:
when I work on my website with 250+ pages, it strains the performance to make even the slightest changes to the page structure. I work with two Masters each with much the same horisontal menu widget.
Adding, deleting and rearranging pages makes the PC (Windows 7 laptop of some but not awesome power) make a halt and take a deep breathe for some seconds. It really interupts the flow of working.
A crude work around for this is to removing the menu widget in the two masters and put it into a new master page, containing only the copied menu from the two other masters and keeping the rest of the header in place on the original masters to use for aligning on the pages. This way, only one page has to update when working with adding, deleting and rearranging pages.
I have tried to look for a preference to disable updating the Menu widget when working on the page structures and just enable it the update again when the work is done? does it exist? else I would recommend it strongly :-) Since my work around is a bit tricky/risky to use after publishing ;-)
Again, thanks a lot for this nice program. Being a selftought CS (now CCC) user I like the ease of control of the webdesign you can get with Muse (at the dispence of other features of course - if you ever wanted to add some sort of database-lookup feature it would be MUCH appreciated. One workaround is to use iframe and an external search/lookup page, that returns results with links back to parent pages. A bit funny construction though :-) ).

M. Hecquet

Glad to know you are enjoying Muse.
It can be very processor intensive if you have multiple Master pages with their own All Pages menu widget. Take a look at the following threads and refer to Zak's response.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1423767
http://forums.adobe.com/message/6166722
See if you are able to use just one All Pages menu widget at your site while taking advantage of the hierarchical Master page feature.
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/muse-feature-tour/adobe-muse-hierarchical-master-pages/
We are aware of the performance issues caused by the Menu widget (All pages type) and is something being looked upon by the engineering in one of the upcoming releases.

You are stuck with giving PS less than 70% of the RAM resources or else you will starve computer and it may crash.
And if you run any other programs at the same time it takes more computer resources to keep everything running.
If running huge files you don't have many options. It may work better in CS5 or less as seems like every new version takes more horsepower, and CS6 sends a lot of work to the video card.

Two work-arounds for Siena when working with large files

MonaTech pointed out that Project Siena will crash when switching to the desktop or another app. I've also noticed this happening even when the monitor goes to sleep with inactivity. To be clear, this is *developing* in Siena, not after the app
you're working on has been compiled and installed.
The 'non-technical' work-around that has been successful for me is to split the screen before I switch to another app. It's not perfect but at least I can switch to another app (browser, desktop app, etc.) without losing where I'm at.
A more technical work-around is proposed in this thread:http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c768be8f-3c85-444e-bb44-6f29abdecee7/project-siena-app-memory-issues-with-large-project-?forum=projectsiena
If you have a version of Visual Studio (that's not Express) it may do the trick for you.
FYI - In the post you'll see that Olivier responded and indicates that this is a known issue.

PE8 - Monitor Quality when working with MPEG2 files?

Hi,
I'm still looking into whether to buy premiere or not and have a few questions which may all be related:
- My original MPEG2 file is 704 x 576, Premiere exports as 720 x576. Are there really two different standards for widescreen?
- My original video is nice and clear, it's not so wonderful in the PE8 monitor. My short 1 minute MPEG2 did finish it's background rendering and has a green line over the clip. Why is this not the same quality? (I assume it's not due to it being the trial version, which has a big banner across the middle to prevent it being ripped off).
- Premiere reports "Display performance will be poor due to incorrectly operating card or driver", although I've read that is isn't necessarily a problem.
System Spec:
- Intel i7 2.8ghz 860 Quad core, Nvidia GT220 graphics card with 1GB memory, 4gb memory
- Windows 7 pro 64 bit (Windows expeirence index is 6.5 out of 7.5)
- latest video driver updated to 8.17.11.9675 (21/02/2010)
- Currently running on PE8 Trial.
- System disk: 37gb free (Intel X25-M solid state 80gb SATA2 disk), project/cache drive: 884gb free (SEAGATE 1.5TB Barracuda 7200RPM)

Thanks for the feedback.

How do I get all the dynamically related files to show when working with wordpress files in DW?

I have set up MAMP on my Mac and have set up a user in phpmyadmin. I have downloaded wordpress and put it in the mamp folder. I have defined the site at MAMP/htdocs in Applications. I have started to look at the files through the index.php files near the root folder. I pressed 'discover' underneath the document tab to discover dynamically related files. However, this only results in five extra files being shown in the document tab as can be seen in the screen shot provided. Apparently I should have loads to play with. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Aperature crashed after 3.3 update. I am a novice at best when working with restore functions. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

I had the 3.3 update window with Aperature pop up and say that I could no longer work with my library until updating Aperature. The update froze up about 90% through the completion of the last set(9 of 9/ 90% complete) and ran over night. My MAC shows version 3.3 installed. When I try to open Aperature, I get a system crash error. I am a novice at best when working with software and I am panicing because of the amount of pictures that I have on the system. I do back them up but do not know how to restore Aperature software(I purchased it before the app store and can not find it). Please advise.

There is an Aperture forum that you can repost in, that is where you will find the guru's for that product. Simply click: Aperture to get there. BTW before you do please complete your profile, it makes it much easier for those attempting to assist you. You can find instructions by clicking Profile Update

Crashing, no 'UNDO' when working with Chinese Text

We have a number of users working in InDesign CS4 6.0.3 on Windows XP SP3. When they enter Chinese text into text boxes, frequently their UNDO command is no longer available. This basically renders files unusable. In addition to this, the application will frequently crash when working with Chinese text. The only workarounds that have sometimes worked include:
1.       Switching keyboard mapping or just selecting English to see if it affects the Undo function.
2.       Reset the preferences for InDesign.
3.       UNDO problem occurred when jumping between web browser and InDesign. Workaround was to select a menu item from within InDesign - any menu item, it didn't matter - and the key command began working again.
Has anybody else run into these problems?

Peter, have you had any problems accessing the web pages for the Release Notes? After finally digging under about 3 layers of redundant links (annoying in and of itself), the final links to Release Notes for InDesign patches 6.0.4, 6.0.5, and 6.0.6 brought me to the following:
InDesign 6.0.4 took me to InCopy 6.0.5
InDesign 6.0.5 took me to InCopy 6.0.6
InDesign 6.0.6 took me to InDesign Server CS5
I got approval to install all patches on a person's computer, but now I can't even read the warnings before doing so!

Win7-64 Photoshop CC blank Save As dialog, then crash, when working with video / frame animations

Hi, I recently updated to CC from CS6 and am having issues when working with PSDs containing video layers, or are set up as frame animations: When attempting to Save As, the dialog will be completely blank except for the Save and Cancel buttons.   If I press cancel, then return to Save As, CC then often crashes.
Here is the Error Event from Event Viewer:
Faulting application name: Photoshop.exe, version: 14.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x5176451b
Faulting module name: MediaCoreIF.DLL, version: 7.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x51573a21
Exception code: 0xc0000005

Faulting module path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\MediaCoreIF.DLL
Report Id: db6d5f8f-0a0c-11e3-9df9-0026b9cc01d1
So far I am only having these issues if I have been working with video layers and then frame animations. Frame animations in particular seem to cause instability as I can often work with video layers all day without a problem. Then if I import video frames to layers, or open a PSD containing a frame animation, the Save As may not necessarily work.
Sometimes closing and restarting Photoshop will allow me to save again, but then sometimes a whole system reboot is required. It is only temporary though.
I am not running antivirus software or other apps aside from what starts at boot.

Frustrating that this thread has petered out, since I'm having the exact same issue. Did you ever find a way to improved stability?
Also of note, the issue followed me across machines. Two weeks ago I purchased a new machine, figured if that didn't solve the problem nothing would... It didn't. :\
The only similar factors are that the machines both are 64bit Windows 7 (a fresh OEM install on the new box) and have nVidia-brand graphics cards. (Again, though - not the SAME graphics card, picked up a new one with the new machine.) No drive cloning was involved: this is completely new hardware, a fresh factory install of Windows 7, different antivirus (went from AVG to Avast), and new download of Photoshop CC from CreativeCloud.
Looks like our event details are quite similar, too.

Dreamweaver CC constantly crashing when working with BC

Hi,
Dreamweaver CC is constantly crashing when working with BC. I had lots of contact with the support, my issue is at tier2 already, I had telephone-support several times, we had lots of possible solutions. Nothing worked.
DW CC is crashing as often as CS6 did and it only happened when working with a BC-site. Whenever uploading to BC, there is a 30% chance that DW crashes. When having stopped working with DW for a few minutes (like doing something in PS) DW crashes in every case. 100%. As this must have something to do with BC, I urgently beg to check the integration of BC into DW or check the connection-mode.
Here are my Specs:
- iMac with latest OS
- Adobe CC (latest )
- German
-DSL 1500 b/sec-connection
I tried saving the sites root folder on a NAS and on local harddrive. I tried with or without german Umlaute , no difference.
Sometimes I can cancel the upload-message and redo, then its working (75%).
As I seem to be the only one having this problem, I completely reinstalled the system and CC, but the problem still exists.
I would really appreciate any help or support from Adobe, although I must say, they already did a lot, but unfortunately my problem is not solved.
By the way, several dialogs with "dont show message again"-ckeckboxes simply come again, no matter whether box is checked or not.
Writing uppercase I (shift-I) insert content of clipboard and writes an uppercase I. (weird?)

I have had the same problem.
Had Dreamweaver support on the phone yesterday, after receiving this email:
Please try resetting the preferences for Dreamweaver. Follow the steps given below.
/Users/Your User Name/Library/Preferences/Adobe Dreamweaver CC Prefs
/Users/Your User Name/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Dreamweaver.13.0.plist
/Users/Your User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CC
/Users/Your User Name/Library/Application Support/Caches/ com.adobe.Dreamweaver.13.0
Macintosh /Library/Preferences/ Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CC Prefs (if any)
Macintosh /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Dreamweaver.13.0.plist
Note: Follow the help doc to access user library.
If this does not help can you please send me details below to isolate the issue further.
1)      Step by step workflow to reproduce the issue.
2)      Is this happening with multiple files? Few sample files to test the issue at my end.
3)      Complete System Information file of the computer having issues.
4)      Were there any H/w or S/w changes applied on the computer having issues. Since when are you getting this issue?
5)      Is the user on domain account or local user? Do they have admin rights?
6)      You BC site details, including FTP address, Login credentials.
After our telephone conversation:
I deleted all sites.
I have completely deleted all versions of Dreamweaver, deleted all preference files and reinstalled Dreamweaver CC.
It's still happening, so I will be back to them tomorrow.
Sorta glad it's not just me!!
