Adobe bridge is slowing down my mac pro how do I fix
I have a new Mac pro
If you are still within your 15 day return period, nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick. (Ask to speak to a senior advisor.)
408-996-1010
If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk (don't get the download) for about $39.

Good day!
Could you please post a screenshot to illustrate the issue?
Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

Will downloading adobe flash player slow down my mac
Hi, i have a macbook pro 13 inch. Its my first mac and still figuring some stuff out but i want to be able to go on youtube, but when i pull up youtube it says i require adobe flash player; is there a way to get youtube videos without downloading flash. If not i dont mind downloading it, just would like to know if it will slow down the speed of my mac before i do download flash.
No, installing Flash will not slow down your machine. Make sure it is up to date so there are no security problems.

Can too many Photos slow down a Mac Pro?
Hi, I have atleast 100,000 photos on my pc, would this many photos slow down a 2.66GHz quad core mac pro with 6 gigs of memory? thanks
I have 60,000. I use non-boot drive of course for data. Some people have huge music and video libraries of 2TB spanning 2-3 drives on stripped RAIDs.
Mac Pro and OS X really likes RAM, and the base for DDR3 8-core is to have 6 DIMMs and I'd go with 6 x 2GB, either Apple or 3rd party RAM, then add 3 x 640GB drives (WD Black Caviar). Stripe two, even if you partition it as 400GB each. http://www.barefeats.com/nehal04.html
And keep the boot drive to OS and applications primarily.
A nice guide:

IMessage won't send on my mac pro. how can i fix this?
i cant send messages on imessage on my mac. it worked befroe nut now it has stopped. the little red "!" come up. how can i fix this
I suggest you first reset netowrk settings in your phone and if that does not work, reset the phone by holding the home and the power on button together some 10 or 15 seconds until the while apple appears, then wait for the phone to reset (you will not lose any data). if all of this does not help, perhaps you should have a word with your carrier to make sure there are no issues with your texting plan.

10.9.2 is so slow on a MAC PRO 2011
OMG
i took a chance and upgraded from 10.6.8 on my fully optimized MAC PRO
on the IMAC 2012 things go faster
what a fool i am
why are things slower on the MAC pro
and faster with the older system??
i repeat OMGHow much RAM installed in your Mac Pro,
How full is your Mac's hard drive?
Do you run any antivirus software on your Mac? Antivirus software can slow down the normal operation of OS X as well having negative performance effects on OS X and other adverse system issues.
Do you have apps like MacKeeper or any other maintenance apps like CleanMyMac 1 or 2, TuneUpMyMac or anything like these apps, installed on your Mac?
These types of apps, while they appear to be helpful, can do too good a job of data "cleanup" causing the potential to do serious data corruption or data deletion and render a perfectly running OS completely dead and useless leaving you with a frozen, non-functional Mac.
Plus, these type of apps aren't really necessary.
They really aren't.
There are manual methods to clear off unnecessary data off of your Mac that are safer and you have complete control over your Mac and not just leave a piece of auto cleaning software in charge of clearing off data off of your Mac.
Their potential of causing OS X issues outweighs the implied good and benefits these types of hard drive or memory "cleaning" apps are written to do.
Plus, the software company's that write these apps make it hard to easily uninstall these apps if something DOES go wrong and these apps work in a way where you have no recovery or revert function to return your Mac back to its former, working state in the event something does go wrong.
It is best to never download and install these types of apps.
The risk to your system and data is too great a risk!
Your Mac Pro could have Mavericks incompatible hardware and/or software.
You may need to update all of your third party software if there are OS X Mavericks updates that can be applied. You may need to, ACTUALLY, go to the third party developers' websites if there are no updates through the Mac App Store.
Update all of your Web browser Internet plugins, also.
Also, if you have any connected third party devices, like non-Apple, third party keyboards, mice, drawing tablets, hubs, card readers, etc, you need to go to the device maker's website and update the drivers for these devices to OS X Mavericks compatible versions, if available or needed. -
Will TheSims 3 Slow down my Mac?
Hi everyone.
I have a lot of questions concerning The Sims 3 on a MacBook Pro. I had the Sims 3 on a Windows Vista and it was super slow. Here goes nothing!
- I have a 13 inch MacBook Pro (late 2011)
- Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
- Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
- I got my MacBook Pro THIS Summer (2012) and I really don't want it to slow down, etc.
Here are my questions/concerns:
- If I download TS3 on my Mac, will it slow down my Mac? (ex. Safari, Word Doc's, iTunes, Photos, etc.)
- If I install EP's (ex. Seasons, Pets, Generations) will that effect the speed of the game & my mac?
- If I use 3rd party Custom Content what are the effects?
- How does TS3 run on a Mac? Fast? Slow? Medium?
- How do graphics look?
- Do stuff packs effect the speed of the game?
- Is installing TS3 recommended if you use your Mac for HW, emailing, school purposes?
I probably have more questions but I haven't thought of them haha. Please! Ask me questions about my mac, and tell me about how TS3 runs on your mac.
http://www.thesims3.com/game/systemreq This is the link for the system requirements for TS3. I'm not too computer savvy when it comes to things like this so any help would be nice!I can't presently read thesims website. If the Intel HD Graphics card is not mentioned on the specs, then it won't run on your Mac, or might run itself very slowly. If it is mentioned, and so are cards that have much less MB on them for graphics, then chances are it will run OK on your Mac, and might be able to multitask with it. If only that many MB or more are mentioned on the graphics card, don't expect it to multitask very well. Generally speaking your hard drive will be your achilles heal in any software even if it is up to specs. Don't let it get over 85% full. This is from user experience and not based on any spec. If you plug in the power to the computer, you will get more performance than if you run unplugged. For better game support, you can check some Mac gaming pages*:

When I shut down the Mac Pro, it restarts
Has anyone run into this issue with their Mac Pro? When I shut down the computer (either via the Ctrl + Option + Cmd + Eject or the Shut Down command from the Apple menu drop down), the Mac Pro will simply restart and take me back to my log-in screen.
At this point, I can hit the shut down button on the login window and it will shutdown, but this is annoying, a waste of time, and unnecessary.
I have tried performing an SMC reset, but it has not resolved this issue.
Specs: Mac Pro (2010)
3.33 GHz 6-Core
(2) 2TB Internal HDD
12GB ram
ATI 5870 graphics card (1GB)I have noticed the exact same behaviour. It only happens when I have something plugged into one of the front USB ports (example : external HD, USB key)
Apparently the system crashes during the shut down process, and then reboots.
Unfortunately, I have not yet found a solution -
Adobe Premiere CC 2014, regularly licensed (Mac Pro early 2008, Mac OSX 10.9.5, Graphic Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB).
Hi guys,
since the CC2014 version of Premiere has been released (on Creative Cloud) I'm experiencing - really often - the MEDIA PENDING (yellow background) issue... even if the clip can be found right clicking and selecting "reveal in finder" or "reveal in project", in the timeline the clip can't be played. Not to mention the many many problems the app is causing stopping working suddenly and obligating me to restart the system to have it regularly working again (usually it stops reproducing the video, only the audio stays alive, but the playhead seems freezes there where I left it).
One more problem: all the app (and customized) keyboard shortcuts are gone. Totally disappeared (this happened just after the last update, CC v8.1 Caravan. Synching from CC was unsuccessful.
Please don't suggest me to contact the adobe italian service to have an help... the last time (almost the same problem) they just made me lose time with some basic procedure checks that I knew were not leading me anywhere.
I ask sorry for my polemic tone, it's a few months that Adobe Premiere is not working anymore as before. And you can't immagine how many hours I've lost.
Thank you very much,
My best regards,

Also, a 512 MB VRAM GPU is really underpowered
Guys, would you suggest me a new graphic card (in case, which model on this Mac - would be great a 4 or 6 MB VRAM GPU) or a new Mac Pro? This is still a great machine, but it's starting becoming unusable due to this Premiere issue (that is day by day more severe).
Thanks a lot for any suggestion,
Stefano. -
I regularly get a prompt reading as follows: "The "QuickTime Plug-in 7.6.6" plug-in is slowing down your Mac. You can wait for it to recover or stop it now." I've tried waiting, but nothing happens. I "stop it now" and lose the page I'm reading.

Why is Compressor way slower on 1 Mac Pro
This is about Compressor 3.5.3 but it's not really about the version.
I have two identical MacPros 2,1 models both running OSX 10.6.8 and Final Cut 7.0.3 and Compressor 3.5.3.
The only difference in the machine is one has 20 gigs of ram and the other has 24 gigs.
I'm capturing BetaSP tape, 30 min loads, and then converting it to ProRes LT with Compressor. Same settings in both instances of Compressor.
I load 12 captures into one machine's Compressor and hit submit. It finishes in a little over two hours.
I load only 5 captures into the other machine's Compressor and hit submit. It finished in over 5 hours.
They are both 8-core machines with the same processors and are identical otherwise. I can't believe that 4 more gigs of ram would make that much difference.
Also they are sourcing off identical raids as well and writing back to identical raids. Why is one machine so majorly SLOW!Hi
How much free space is there on the Main Hard Disks ?
• Exactly the same ?
• one is 5Gb or less the other 100Gb or more
I never go less than 25Gb for work with interlaced SD-Video Quality
think that about 4-5 times more will work OK for full quality HD progressive - may be ?
What Processes are running in back ground ?
• Time Machine
• File Vault
• Internet
others
NON on my Video Mac
else things that matters reg. speed and performance (for iMovie/iDVD - but are really general)
TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
• Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
• No other programs running in BackGround e.g. Energy-Saver
• Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
• Move external/secondary hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
• Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
• Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show
• No File Vault on - Important
• NO - TimeMachine - during iMovie/iDVD work either ! IMPORTANT
• Lot's of icons on DeskTop/Finder also slows down the Mac noticeably
• Start a new User-Account and log into this and iMovie get's faster too - if a project is in a hurry
• And let Mac run on Mains - not just on battery

Shutting down my Mac Pro Retina properly?
When I shut down my Mac Pro, I close all apps except the Finder. I've noticed that sometimes when I start up again, the Apple logo and the loading bar don't appear, and when I go into the desktop, the Finder is still open on the folder it was on before I shut it down the last time. But there's still the normal start up sound. I think this is because when I see the screen go black, I close the laptop screen straight away, and it hasn't truly finished shutting down yet. I've been trying to wait for a minute before closing the lid after the screen goes black, and it's been working: the next time I start up my Mac the Apple logo and loading bar appears as usual, and when I get on to the desktop, the Finder isn't open on anything.
My question is, is it really bad for the Mac if I close the lid before it properly shuts down, and I leave it in a kind of limbo state before I start it up next time? Because sometimes I'm in a hurry and I don't have time to wait a minute before closing the lid.Hello animefan4eva,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you were trying to shut down the computer but closed the lid befor it finished. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
Mac notebooks: Wait for your computer to fully shut down before closing the display - Apple Support
If you close the display on a MacBook Pro, MacBook, MacBook Air, PowerBook, or iBook while it is shutting down, the computer may not shut down properly.

On my Mac Pro how can I get voiceover to start reading at a specific point in a document, and then continue on to the next paragraph and so on? Thank you. Ed
Welcome to the Apple family!!!!
How can I cause the VO cursor(box) show-up/start?
Press Control-Option and F5. The F5 key is located on the top row of keys 6th key over. This is a toggling "Keyboard Shortcut" for turning VoiceOver on and off.
How can I move the VO cursor to various sentences or paragraphs of an article and have it start reading ... and perhaps even continue reading on to the next paragraph(s) ... even to the end of the article?
How to read a website with VoiceOver
Step 1: Go to the Website
A quick keyboard shortcut is Command-L. This will jump you up to the address bar. Start typing where you want to go. i.e "www.thewebsite.com"
Step 2: Working with Webpage
VoiceOver will automatically start reading the website. You can pause the speech by hitting the 'Control Button'.
If VoiceOver does not being reading the webpage, then you might have to "Interact" with it. If VoiceOver say "HTML Content" then press Control-Option-Space-Down Arrow to interact with the webpage.
Use Control-Option-Right Arrow to move throught the website. This will speak "EVERYTHING" on the page.
Most website that I've found have their articles labeled as 'Heading'. You can jump from heading to heading, by pressing Control-Option-Shift-H.
If you'd like an itemized alphabetical listing of the site, press Control-Option-I
Press Control-Option-Space on the link or article you want to view.
Step 3. Reading from Top to Bottom
Once you found and clicked on the the article/link, use the same 'Heading' command, Control-Option-Shift-H to find the title.
After finding the title, press Control-Option-A will start reading from the title on.
Note: If there are any other items (ads, pictures, etc) it will read those too.
Tip: You might be able to activate a feature called the 'Reader'. The Reader isolates the article and elimanates the ads The keyboard command is Shift-Command-R. You can also find it in the Menu Bar (Command-Option-M) under the word 'View' then 'Show Reader'.
I am using a MACPro with OSX, probably Mavericks 10.9 (where would I look to see if that is the correct information?)
You can find this information under the 'Apple menu' in the Menu Bar. To access the Menu Bar, press Control-Option-M.
Go to Apple Menu > About This Mac. This will open up another window. Use Control-Option-Right Arrow until you hear 'Version'. If you purchased it brand new from Apple within the last six month, more than likely you have Mavericks.

AppleVis- Commonly used Keyboard Commands
Chapter 2: Learning VoiceOver Basics
Chapter 6: Browsing the internet
Apple Accessibility Resource Page
The 'Commands Help' Voiceover Menu. Control-Option-H-H. (hit H twice) is my best friend. It's a searchable VoiceOver Menu with most of the VoiceOver command. Example: You are looking for the 'Read Current Paragraph' keyboard command. Press Control-Option-H-H and then type Paragraph. It will then bring up all the commands with the word paragraph. I believe there are three.
As from the Trackpad Commands, I've copied and pasted below from Appendix A: Commands and Gestures
