Adobe and Macromedia running through Rosetta - Is Ram helping?

Hey folks ~
Man, do I ever have a love affair with Apple. My prized iPod, the laptop that doesn't leave my side...it's sick, really. Here comes the super-rockin MacBook Pro. I watched the keynote with Steve, I read the reviews, I knew what I was getting into.
I'm also a patient man, so let's not take this the wrong way. I read the "what a gyp, this is how I earn my living" post. This isn't that angle.
I have experienced lots of Adobe and Macromedia products (CS2/Studio 8) shutting down and hanging. A lot of slow loading. Adobe Bridge barely eeking out an existence. Mac OSX apps, not so bad. I have 1GB of RAM. Has anyone seen improvement and good performance with more RAM? Anyone else having these problems?
Oh, and taking the battery out and holding the power key to reset PRAM totally works to keep it running cooler.
MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

Speaking of swap file sizes, I run menu meters, and I have had the mac book up and running for 3 days, it sleeps at night, aparently that's what you do with macs ? (Been a PC dweeb for 15 years)
Menu meters is telling me i've gt 8 swap files, that's 2.5 gig, this is too much right ? I should reboot to clear some out ? I use Dreamweaver and Word tonnes, are these Rosetta apps gonna be rinsing my hard disk for swap space ?
I've got the stock 512 megs of ram, I was going to get a single 1 gig chip soon, like end of the month. I know I'll loose the dual channel stuff by not having equal sized chip yada yada - apparently this is only like a 3% drop in performance ? Or should I not waste any time and just get two 1 gig chips to gimme 2 gig in total soonest ?
Cheers

  • Will Logic Pro....be running through rosetta on INTEL MACS?

    Hi Apple,
    Question,
    Will Logic Pro have to run through rosetta (or similar) to use the INTEL Macs? Or will a new Logic Release that takes full advantage of INTEL be available imminently?
    thanx,
    SvK

    If you are a registered owner of Logic 7.1 today, you will have to pay US$50 plus shipping to get the updated version that is Intel Mac native when it is made available after March 31st, 2006.

    There are 2 concepts attached to a bank balance. The balance as per your books of accounts and another is the balance maintained with the bank. I believe i need not explain these 2 concepts. These 2 balances can be obtained from Oracle system provided some of prerequsities are met with.
    Balance as per your books - This is nothing but the GL balance available. In order to obtain balances for each bank accounts, it is advised that each bank account should have a separate account code combination. This is achieved generally by having a separate natural account for each bank. The code combination is attached to the cahs account for each bank. By maintaining separate account code combination, the balance in each code combination can be obtained from GL (provided transactions are accounted and posted in GL). These balances represent the balance for each bank according to your books of accounts. You can create an FSG for this purpose and provide the same to the customer, so that they can run the same whenevr they want.
    Balance as per bank - This balance is maintained by oracle in 2 ways - either the bank balance can be manually entered for each bank account for each date (quite cumbersome). Else, while loading the bank statement, the bank balances are also loaded. There are various types of bank balances stored - value dated balance, available balance, float balance etc. Depending on the balances provided by bank along with the bank statement, the bank balance can be recorded in oracle system. After the bank statement is uploaded and balances stored, standard cash management reports are available to query for the bank account balances. In order to view daily movement, the bank statement should be loaded on daily basis.
    Hope this helps.

  • Should I buy Adobe and Macromedia Captivate?

    I am looking to use Capitivate as a teaching aid for
    software. Please can I have some advice about the difference
    between Adobe and Macormedia Captivate. Which is the best to buy?
    Cheers
    ML

    There is no Macromedia Captivate. Captivate was a Macromedia
    product . . .
    Adobe bought Macromedia (the whole company) after Captivate
    version 1 was released, then created version 2 branded for Adobe.
    So the long and short of it is that if you have version 1, you have
    Macromedia Captivate, and if you have version 2, you have Adobe
    Captivate.
    Hope this helps ...

  • [Intel] Any list of Universal Binaries and apps running under Rosetta?

    Hi!
    Sorry, I'm not sure about posting into the right group, but found no other place with similar threads...
    I just try to figure out if all my apps will run under Rosetta or are available as Universal Binaries (and how much will the vendors charge for them). It's really a pain...
    Do you folks know any web site or forum with a "Rosetta compatibility list" and an overview about available Universal Binaries?
    I will not consider a change without e. g. a working backup solution (Retrospect), AppleWorks, EyeTV and a few other apps...

    Mike,
    AppleWorks seems to work unter Rosetta (referring to
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=314806
    My greatest concern is Dantz' Retrospect and I haven't found a testing or even an information a Dantz' web site, yet.
    But replacing my iBook with a MacBook wouldn't happen in the near future anyway...

  • Forcing programs to run in Rosetta?

    I'm trying to install a non-universal program (Borland's JBuilder Foundation) on my Intel-Based iMac. The installation will not complete and the program will not run, generating a message in the log file to the effect that my machine configuration does not support the "Java VM for PowerPC."
    I was under the impression that OS X for Intel macs included a code-translation technology ("rosetta") that would allow it to execute code compiled for the G4, albiet more slowly than native code. Is there any way to force this program to run through Rosetta?

    Yes, that's correct, but some Java apps that use certain Java libraries will not work because these libraries are not universal binaries and will not work via Rosetta. Any Java applications that use the JNI libs will not work unless the developer provides universal binary versions of the libraries they use. Non-Java applications will normally work through Rosetta if they are PowerPC-only. Java apps that do not rely on the JNI libs should work normally.

  • Box run through XBOX One won't register.

    Hi - I replaced all three of my old HD Desktop boxes with X-1 and two of the three work fine. The one in my office is split with the Cable Modem (Internet) and then run through an XBOX One.  This cable box will not register. I swapped with the one in the Bedroom, the box works fine there, but the one that was in the Bedroom will not come online now either.

    Good catch Andrew. acwilli It would appear you have signal issues that need to be addressed. My suggestion would be to worry about the signal issues first, then worry about the XBox 1.
    If you don't address the signal issues it will impact normal TV watching, not to mention the XBox 1 situation.

    Take a look at how your cable is ran, reduce any/all unnecessary splitters to gain signal strength. The levels above might have been okay for the previous legacy equipment but not for the X1 platform. If you don't get it fixed you'll just keep having issues.

    could the launch agents failing slow the computer or they just don't work. I mean I am willing to upgrade ram but not if there is good chance it won't change speed much. Also to downgrade is it necessary to format the hard drive?

  • Premiere Pro and Adobe Media Encoder running slow

    Hello everyone,
    I'm having trouble with CS4, which is running significantly slower than CS3 did on a older machine. The CS4 suite is installed on a Dell Precision M6400:
    Windows Vista 64-Bit
    Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T9400 @ 2.53 GHz
    8 GB RAM
    NVIDIA Quadro FX 2700M Graphics with 512MB dedicated memory
    The OS is running on a 57.5 GB HD (C:) and the Adobe suite is installed on a 298 GB Solid State HD (D:), except for Adobe Media Encoder, which is installed on the C: drive.
    My project has 4 15-16 minute sequences. The sequences are in DV NTSC, 29.97 fps,  My scratch disks are set to a folder on the C: drive. Media Cache Files and the Media Cache Database points to a folder on the D: drive.
    These are some of the problems I'm having:
    - Premiere Pro CS4 generates peak files every time I open a project
    - It then takes 3-5 minutes to render before I can preview a 16-minute sequence
    - Adobe Media Encoder takes 5 hours to render a 16-minute sequence (as flv) that has been previously rendered
    - AME takes 1 hour to render every 15 minute sequence that has never been rendered before
    Are my settings affecting their performance? Is there any way to improve it? Thanks.
    (Premiere Pro is the only app that is slow)

    The data rate for replay is one thing, the data rate from disk to memory then from memory to CPU and back the other way are different matters and ought not to be confused. It is well-established that for a computer to edit AVCHD you need top end components, and note that I said there were three tasks to distinquish with increasing hardware requirements, namely merely replaying the video, specifying edits in the editor and then the rendering. It is commonly accepted by all the industry vendors that to do remotely commercial AVCHD rendering you need a minimum Quadcore CPU then that eats data fast, in order to not let it go to waste you need a fast motherboard bus fast memory and in order for none of those to go to waste you need the fastest disk set-up you can manage. I in fact have a 4-disk RAID0 volume using SATA (I think the disk model is SATAII but I have to await return from the repair center before I can confirm). For this RAID0 volume I have run speed test software from BlackMagic because I have one of their HDTV capture cards. It recorded that this volume which remember is doing parallelised IO is just fast enough to receive a encoded HDTV stream from the BlackMagic card but too slow to receive an uncompressed HDTV stream, indeed when I tried both I found the volume did keep up with compressed but fell behind with uncompressed. Remember that with a RAID0 volume of 4 SATAII disks a given file gets spread over the four disks and hence IO is spread over those 4 3G/s data lanes. Also remember with these disks 3G/s is just a burst speed, for AVCHD we are interested in sustained serial IO which is much less.
    Before my machine broke down, I found that it took 5 hours to render 33 minutes of HDTV albeit as it went along it transcoded from AVCHD to a Microsoft HD format for Vista-only. Another interesting thing is that I found that the longer this render ran the slower it became, the estimated time started at 3 hours but the actual was five and the last one third took maybe 3 hours. Because the machine broke after that run I couldn't figure the bottleneck. For my machine bear in mind that at the repair shop we found that the Quadcore had only half the necessary electrical power plugged in, the monitor software showed however that it constantly ran around 90% of whatever capacity that reduced power supply permitted. Now then we can puzzle over why it got slower and slower and yet CPU consumption remained consistent and near to full capacity, memory was not the bottleneck because that was constant at 6.4G. But you can say that this was maybe performing like a Dualcore and was hitting some sort of wall, if you had a 1 hour render with that rate of degeneration of performance factored in what would happen to the render time, and for 3 hours you could be running indefinitely. I hope when the machine comes back the correct power supply will make it behave like a Quadcore should for this type of application. Anyway I have two theories for the degradation. First is just that PrProCS4 was getting its knickers in a twist and thereby just doing more computation per minute of video to be rendered as time went by, maybe internal resource management related to OO-type programming maybe, or related to disk IO falling behind, both these theories have problems, for the latter the CPU usage should then have dropped also.
    Anyways, you need really a Quadcore system and blazing fast disk to work fully with AVCHD commercially, we found an external SATAII disk so if I were you I would just go get one and move on with your life.

    For AVCHD you MUST have FAST disks.
    AVCHD actually has a lower data date than DV. You need lots of CPU muscle, but disk speed is really not a factor specific to AVCHD. Anything that works for DV will work just as well for AVCHD (and HDV as well).
