Adobe releases Flash for Mac beta with GPU acceleration

Sounds like this might be worth a try on the new MacBooks.
Let us know if it helps and off loads the work from the CPU to the GPU with Flash.

Hi,
the german computer magazine c't did some preliminary tests with that plugin on a Mac Mini 3.1 (Core 2 Duo 2 GHz, 3 GByte RAM, Mac OS X 10.6.3) and the 1080p Trailer The Last Air Bender http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USUHXzapRoU
Flash Player 10.1 RC 2 -> Activity Monitor showed 90-120 % CPU useage
Gala PlugIn -> 50-60% CPU useage
So quite a step in the right direction.
Although funny thing is, that with the HTML5 player from YouTube http://www.youtube.com/html5 used with Safari the CPU useage got down to 15% !!
All that as said, preliminary...

  • GPU Acceleration for both FCP-X and Premiere? Anyone have NVIDIA GTX285 or NVIDIA QuadroFX 4800? ...and successful at using both editors with GPU Acceleration?

    I'm in the market for a Laptop MAC solution to GPU accelerated editing. Because of multi-client workflow needs, I need to edit HD video with both FCP-X and ADOBE CS5.5 Premiere. The only GPU capable Graphics Cards that seem to satisfy both "camps" are from NVIDIA - GTX285 and NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800
    Does anyone have these cards AND using both softwares AND having success at it?
    I sure would appreciate any experienced advice with using NVIDIA GPU accelration with MacBook Pro especially!
    Thanks,
    ~mars9

    How do you plan on using a PCIe card with a laptop? Via a Thunderbolt PCIe adapter? I can't help with that. In fact, I didn't think those adapters were even out yet.
    I do have a Mac Pro and I use the NVDIA Quadro 4000 For Mac. This works great for Premiere Pro. As good as the 4800 and for less money. Check out this comparison.

  • I Want to Buy Adobe Photoshop CS6 for Mac - NOT Creative Cloud

    I just bought a new iMac and I would like to buy Adobe Photoshop CS6 for Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.  I am NOT interested in the monthly subscription for Creative Cloud, so please don't even try and sell that to me.  I was told by the place I bought my new iMac that Adobe would still sell me Photoshop CS6 if I contacted them.  Since I was unable to find a phone number to call, I thought I would try my luck on this forum.  Again, I was told that Adobe would send me a link or something like that where I can buy and download Photoshop CS6.  Since my new iMac does NOT have a CD/DVD-ROM drive, I would only be able to download the software.  I understand that the monthly subscription for Creative Cloud is the newest way of using Photoshop, but I am not interested in that at all.  I would greatly appreciate any and all assistance with this matter.  Thank you for your time and I anxiously await a response.
    Respectfully,
    Chris

    From here you should be able to buy photoshop cs6:

  • I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Mac-OS, can this be used on a PC?  I'm wanting to load onto a PC/laptop.

    I have a version of Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Mac OS, which I use on my desktop.  I've recently purchased an HP laptop, is there a way to use my licensed CS5 version of Photoshop on my new HP PC?

    No, the CS5 software is operating system-specific and even if you were willing to trade for the Windows version you could not at this point due to that only being possible for the latest. release, CS6.

  • Cannot download for mac - neither with firefox nor with safari

    can anybody help me, please? I'm asked whether I want to download and install or not. But the YES button does not work.
    tried with different browsers but I cannot install.

    Hey Adrian_O,
    It may be that security is blocking the download, so I suggest downloading Digital Editions first and then installing from there. Check out the kb doc below, it has links for manual downloads of Digital Editions for both Intel-based Mac and PowerPC Macs.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403051.html
    For your convenience;
    Manually install Adobe Digital Editions for Mac OS
    Finish installing or uninstalling any other applications.
    Uninstall any earlier versions of Adobe Digital Editions.
    Download the installer package for your Mac OS X machine:           
    Intel-based Mac: Adobe Digital Editions 1.7.2 for Intel-based Mac
    Mac PPC: Adobe Digital Editions 1.7.2 for Mac PPC            
    Note: If you clicked the wrong Mac  OS X platform, an error message appears. Close the message box and click  the correct link to restart the installation.
    Click Open in the File Download screen to start the installation.           
    Note: If your connection times out, click Save, instead of Open, to save the installer package to your desktop.
    If necessary, unzip the .zip file. If you're using Safari as your  browser, or if Firefox is set up to unzip files, the file unzips  automatically.
    Double-click the .pkg file to start the installer, and follow the onscreen instructions.
    Note: If your connection times  out, save the installer package to your desktop. (Click the link for  your Mac OS X machine, and then click Save.) Double-click the file to  start the installation.

    I tought about looking in Monitor Activity to see what happens...
    Well, when I start working (should I say try to work with FCPX, activity monitor in the %processor column for FCPX jumps rapidly over 100% and reaches more than 200% ??? What the **** is that ?
    200% or more is not strange. Remember that your mac has 4 cores (you say it's 3 months old, so I assume it is a new model), so 200% amounts to using 2 of these 4 cores to the max.
    Regarding the question of creating a new admin user: while it sits in the same system, it may help if the problem is caused by some user-specific preferences or settings. Not likely in your case, since you seem to have reinstalled from scratch, but still it is worth a try. It takes 5 minutes and may help pinpoint the problem.

  • Functionality of Adobe Acrobat Pro for Mac questions?

    Greetings! After 35 years in the Windows environment, I became the proud owner of a MacBook air last night, and I want to install Adobe Acrobat Pro for Mac on it. I would like to know if the features and functionality of the Mac version are the same as those on the Adobe Acrobat Standard that I have been using in my Windows environment for so many years.
    The Windows version gives me everything I need, most importantly the ability to add text as annotations into documents that have been scanned and sent to me as PDFs, fill in forms, create forms, etc.
    Additionally, can someone help me with the differences between the subscription version and the full purchase version? Does the subscription version have any problems, is it just as functional as the full purchase version?
    Thank you so much all!
    S.

    If you don't have a physical printer hooked up to your Mac you can still do the Save As Adobe PDF with a "faux" printer setup.  Here are the steps to set that up:
    1.  Go to Apple menu>System Preference>Printers and Scanners
    2.  Press the plus symbol button "+"
    3.  In the Add dialog select IP at the top
    4.  in the Address field put the numbers 127.0.0.1
    5.  In the Protocol pop-up menu make sure that Line Printer Daemon - LPD is selected
    6.  Leave the Queue field bland for the default printer
    7.  In the Name field it will say "127.0.0.1" and you can leave it to that or change it to anything you want.
    8.  Leave the Location field blank
    9.  Leave the Use field pop-up menu field at the default which is Generic PostScript Printer.
    10.  Click the Add button
    11.  You will get the message:
    "Unable to verify the printer on your network.
    Unable to connect to '127.0.0.1' due to an error.
    Would you still like to create the printer?"
    12.  Click the Continue button.
    13.  In the Setting up '127.0.0.1...' dialog click the OK button
    14.  Open up TextEdit
    15.  Type some test text (e.g.  Test Text)
    16. In TextEdit Go to File>Print
    17. In the Print dialog, press on the PDF button on the lower Left side of the window.
    18.  Select Save As Adobe PDF.
    19.  In the Save As Adobe PDF dialog, select your Adobe PDF Settings and whether or not you want the resulting PDF to open in Adobe Acrobat Pro and then click the Continue button.
    20. In the Save window, title your PDF in the Save As: field, navigate to the location you want to save the PDF and then click the Save button.
    21. Done.

  • Outlook 2011 for Mac: Occurrence with this index was previously deleted from the recurrence

    Client using Outlook 2011 (14.2.4) with Mac OS 10.8.2. 
    I've never seen this error before, and it keeps popping up (next to the classic yellow triangle with exclamation point -- I'd post screenshot, but forum isn't letting me.) The message doesn't seem to be related to any specific action.)
    Exact text is: Outlook 2011 for Mac: Occurrence with this index was previously deleted from the recurrence.
    Any assistance is very much appreciated. 

    Unfortunately this did not work for me. There is absolutely nothing in my Drafts folder to be deleted. I'm sure the problem is calendar-related but there is nothing to delete or fix. I ran the Database Utility and it didn't find anything wrong. So I'm stuck
    getting an alert "beep" every 8 minutes from Outlook.  
    EDIT: OK, so you have to look in "Outbox", not "Drafts". And the "Outbox" does not always appear in the sidebar. When mine finally did (not sure what made it show up, but it may have been me enabling logging), I was able to
    delete the offending message.

    Sarah,
    Check this link:

    It contains some issues that people have encountered with Lion and Office 2008. It appears it can work, but you may have to go through some of the steps a few of the posters there have listed.
    That website also contains a pretty large list of applications and if they will work with Lion.
    Hope this helps! (I am not affiliated in any way with the site linked).
