AE CS5 MAC Memory problem

Hey,
I´m using Abobe Master Collection with my Macbook pro (mid09) and 8 GB RAM.
I have a strange behavior with my ram when using After effects and actually Premiere too. When I start a render first everything goes smoothly. Then suddenly RAM usage jumps to max almost (8 GB) even if I have set it to leave 1,5 GB to other applications. My computer almost freezes cause there is only 20-100 MB left of ram...
The second and even stranger behavior is that after I have quit the programs, RAM usage stays very high. It stays up to 4-5GB even if I close all programs. And I mean now the ACTIVE RAM, not the INACTIVE... I look at the processes window in the activity monitor and there is nothing that explains the high RAM usage. First on the memory usage list is Kernel_task with about 120 mb of usage. So there is nothing that will explain the 4-5 GB usage. Only way to "reset" the memory back to normal is to reboot the computer... I have tried this many times and result is the same... Only solution is to reboot computer...
And as a reference. I reboot my computer about 1 h ago and havent used any Adobe programs after that and now my memory usage is 656 mb even when many other programs running (firefox, skype etc.)
Is this a bug in Adobes programs or is it a broken memory in my computer or something else? Cause it really seems that there is some process that is locking the memory and that process can´t be seen on the activity monitors processes window... I updated new memorys about a month ago and have had few kernel panics right after update as well, so thats why I´m thinking this might also be a bad memory issue even if it sounds like a software issue.
Any ideas,
Thanks,

Memory Leak
apparently the open GL is messed up in CS4 and CS5
turn off openGL
in photoshop preferences/performance
then restart photoshop
it fixed my problem with photoshop eating up all the memory
here is a article about the fix
http://forums.cgsociety.org/archive/index.php/t-975459.html
here is info about the change that CS4 and CS5 have in open GL
that seems to create the problem

CS5 Mac - memory error "double free"

I ported out InDesign Plugin from CS4 to CS5 and now I have an error "malloc: *** error for object .....: double free" in the mac version.
I started porting to CS5 with the Windows version, I made a new project file with dollyxs and added all source code files and libraries. I had to make a few changes in the code, but I had a working version for Windows very fast.
After that I copied the source files to the Mac, created a new project for Xcode and added the source files. I can compile and link, but after starting I have this 'double free' error.
I downloaded debug version of InDesign CS5 and now I have a debugger window with a thread list (many function names I don't know). And no idea how to continue.
I have a screenshot of the debugger window here:
The error message is visible in the debugger console. Any ideas what I can do to find the object that causes the error?
Thanks

"helpful" or "solved" points if it worked.
I almost hate saying it, cause I really don't care if I get points for solving someone's problem, but I have realized the other benefit of giving these points. As I am searching for other problems with my system it is difficult to follow any advice from previous posts unless I can determine if the problem was solved within the duration of the thread.
It's nice for others to be able to know if the problem was solved as well...
Thanks.

CS5 Mac Installation Problem

I am installing Adobe Design Premium CS5 on my MacBook Pro and it keeps wanting me to close Safari to complete installation, but it is closed. What should I do?

Please check the 'Activity Monitor' and see if any instances of Safari has been left. Close if any and retry.

Problem with Photoshop CS5. Memory and Hard disk space Mac OSX

Just got CS5 Master Suite. Whenever I open photoshop it takes a ton of memory 1 gig +. When I open files it takes up more and more until it takes up all my memory and hard disk space. I open a simple multi layered file that is 25 megs in size to work on it. Before I know it photoshop is taking 20gigs+ of my hard disk space along with 3+ gigs of system memory. Is there a memory problem in photoshop cs5?
Thanks!
Joseph
UPDATE:
So I just opened the 25 meg file in photoshop cs5 and watched my free space on my hard drive go down 8 gigs the instant I opened it. It went from 27 gigs of freespace to 19 instantly. As I open more files and close others it works till my harddrive goes to zero space... stalls the computer big time. Only way to correct it is to quit photoshop cs5 and wait a few minutes for the space to return... and it takes a few minutes for it all to return.

Premiere Pro CS5 Mac 10.6.5 not releasing memory

I have a Mac Pro running 10.6.5 Mac OS, 16GB Ram that I just installed today (had 8GB). I opened up a rather large 11 minute PPro project. I rendered it out. Noticed that the Used Memory was getting larger, up to about 10GB where it leveled off for the remainder of the render. After the render was done, the used memory stayed at 10GB. I exited PPro, and it stayed 10GB. Seems like it's not releasing the memory back to available or am I not understanding how either the Mac OS works with regards to memory or perhaps PPro?

Yes, that appears to be the problem. I disconnected my secondary monitor (which does have a different vertical resolution) and the eyedropper appears to function properly.
Okay, so now I know the cause of the issue. However, disconnecting and reconnecting monitors is not an acceptable workflow. Apparently this problem affects quite a few Premiere Pro CS5 Mac users with dual monitors since you referred to it as a know issue with all versions of Mac OS. Do you know if there is an update (not an upgrade) for Premiere Pro CS5 to address this?
Thanks.

Mac Pro 6 core, D500, 256ssd 64gb loss of memory problems

I Can simply have the computer running with no Apps other than Finder & Adobe CC cloud and it burns up all RAM within an hour.
Help?

By far the things that cause the most issues are "just one little thing" that Users have added. These tend to cause trouble because they are badly-crafted or because they do things in violation of Developer Guidelines.
Lots of seemingly innocent little things that users have added have been seen to cause serious problems in high-end Mac Pros. If you want trouble-free, remove all the non-Apple add-ons and just run straight, unmodified Mac OS X and Major Applications, no add-ons. Readers here could easily produce a list of more than 50 add-ons that have been seen in postings here to cause trouble. When in doubt, throw it out.
The anti-malware features built into Mac OS X work better that any so-called "anti-Virus". Most of these commercial packages are simply worthless, but some also ruin performance, ruin memory utilization, or cause kernel panics without adding any additional value.
Hardware problems do not cause memory leaks.
The Mac Pro has Error Correcting Code memory, and its memory problems do not fester undetected. But you do need to check that all the memory you installed is still listed as present, because ANY problems detected at Startup can cause failing modules to be marked "absent".

Indesign cc memory problems ...

I was previously using Indesign CS6 with no memory problems. I uninstalled CS6 and installed CC when two days after it had become available. I have installed all updates to indesign. I have this installed on two systems.
1) Laptop: Windows 7 64-bit, 4Mb RAM, 1.65 GHz
2) Desktop: Windows 7 64-bit, 6Mb RAM, quad core 2.0 GHz
This same issue is occuring on both systems, open indesign 64-bit, and a small document (5 pages of text) and the system memory is consumed until nothing is left. On the laptop I run both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions indesign that were installed, same issues.
Has anyone else encountered this problem, and is there a work around?

Why would saving in compatibility modes make a difference???
It's not recommended to open older files Directly in a newer verison. The workflow for migrating older files to a newer version has always been to export the file from Old Indesign as an IDML file and then open that in the New InDesign.
You really should read the Help Files.
Save an InDesign Markup (IDML) document
In some cases you may want to save an InDesign in interchange markup format. It’s especially useful to save in this format when you open a QuarkXPress or PageMaker publication in InDesign, when you open a document created in a previous version of InDesign, or when you’re experiencing problems with your document, such as not being able to delete color swatches.
Choose File > Save (CS6) or File > Export (CS5).
From the Save As Type (Windows) or Format (Mac OS) menu, choose InDesign Markup (IDML).
Click Save.
You can open the saved IDML file in InDesign CS5 and InDesign CS4 but not in any previous version of InDesign.
For information on using IDML for development purposes, see www.adobe.com/go/learn_id_indesignmarkup_cs4_en.

InDesign CS4 memory problems

I have had memory problems with InDesign CS4 (and also with Photoshop CS4) for about a year now. If my file has a lot of pictures (100+) at some stage I get error message "Out of memory" . In the beginning it just have problems with redraw pictures (half of picture stays black), but also export to pdf is halted by same message and printing to file also. No problems in the beginning of large files or with files with text only. At one point InD just has enough and starts to behave like a ... Only solution is to export InD CS4 file as INX and continue to work in CS3 (but it takes a long time to match the text flow because textengine works differently). It's not monitor, because I have changed monitor during this year (from LaCie 22 blue IV to EIZO 27"). It seems that it's not video (NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX, 512 MB) also, because everything functions normally with CS3. I know, that it's not a proper video card for my work, but one likes to play Bioshock sometimes... Something strange happens with Photoshop CS4 also when I work for a long time without shutting down the program. After about editing 60+ pictures Photoshop CS4 begins to slow down (specially with using clone tool).up to impossible to work. You just have to wait while the cursor is dragging itself to right place an picture is redrawing itself. Seems like memory cannot empty itself and gets overloaded when working with CS4. No problems with Photoshop CS3. One cannot notice anything with small files. I can work with CS3 but there are features I would like to use in CS4.
Have anyone experienced anything similar?

Having exactly the same here. 16 Gb of ram in an 8 core 64 bits Vista system. Absolutely no infections on my system. Having great troubles getting my work ouputted.
I'm making an overview with 50 cards with pictures in them and bevels on the edges, dropshadows. It might be heavy but it is a normal question from my client.
I don't care if transparency is difficult for Adobe to handle. They shouldn't make it public if it is not properly tested. I am now so far as to make the composition in photoshop ( if that works)
What I thought was the problem is that I originaly placed indesign files in frames. But there is a great script out there on www.automatication.com to convert that in editable object again. Works great so check that out. But this didn't solve my problem. The effects used in these items are the memory consummers and Adobe is not freeing the memory properly.
Advise to Adobe: check also to dropshadows feature because this is not scaling up or down with the rest of the effect.
I'm am writing a realtime 3D renderengine here, if CS5 is not working fine, I might digg in to this one as well, getting a bit tired of waiting for properly working software.

Indesign CS4, CS5 Mac freezes/How can I get it to run?

I have been using Indesign CS5 Mac version. When I open it, after I make a new document, the color wheel keeps spinning until I force-close the program or restart my machine. I have taken CS5 off of my system and reloaded it with the same conclusion. Because I needed to use Indesign, I loaded version CS4, but came up with the same exact problem: the color wheel spinning continuously right after I have opened a new document.
Any suggestions?

Will there be a noticeable improvement if I upgrade my mac memory?

Hi
I am using a MacBook Pro 13" early 2011 and running Yosemite. 4Gb
I have been meaning to upgrade my mac memory for a while now because performance issues are really becoming a problem.
Sometimes even the simplest of tasks is like running through treacle. This could be opening an app like Chrome or Mail or simply clicking system preferences. The wait time before these opening isn't massive but if it takes around a minute or two, to open them than in my view that is incredibly slow.
As the OS systems updates have gotten better, more frequent and contain more features, I have noticed that the performance has really suffered.
I dread to think how the machine would perform if I did anything that remotely put it through its paces by running a game or even something like iMovie.
You want to have your computer to be able to run multiple apps at the same time or in the background and these are just basic utility apps like a web browser, mail and stickies.
I currently use Onyx and the Memory Clean app. I personally find at the moment that the memory clean app pointless. The majority of the time it indicates that there is between 0% - 3% free memory available. I then click clean memory, sometimes several times in a row and it usually frees up around 30% then after around 5 minutes it is back down to that 0%-3% mark again.
I rarely use any memory chugging apps. Say for example as I write this post the memory clean app indicates there is 1% free memory yet all that is running is Mail App, Chrome and Google Drive (Don't get hung up on these apps, it happens regardless of the app). I find myself constantly having to go around after myself closing every app after I have used it and this even happens with no apps running at all.
So my real question is. If I upgrade my memory using crucial to the 8GB memory. Will I notice any tangible difference or will that amount still be inadequate?
I know there is a 16GB option but it is fairly expensive and I hear of potential issues with overheating.
Thanks for your help

I have taken a few screenshots. Do these help?

PREMIERE PRO CS5.5 Gamma problem while exporting project to mjpeg A or B

Dear Sir,
I'm in a big ****. I've directed and edited 1h documentary for Finnish television, also, the technical specs requested by the TV Channel is all production Broadcast masters must be encoded with Apple ProRES codec or MJPEG A or B.
As i'm working on PC (win7), the ProRES codec doesn't exist on PC system, so i've done the export to MJPEG. The problem is i have a different gamma level when i watch the final export with Quicktime or VLC. Of course i can adjust the level in those players, but it doesnt effect the file. When i import the Qt file into a Premiere sequence, the gamma level is still **** and different from my original level i have from my timeline and preview window. If i export the project to H264 1920x1080p25, then the gamma is perfect with Qt, VLC and WinMedia player. But the TV station don't wanna work with H264. Deadline is on next monday, and i can't send a Qt MJPEG file with wrong gamma !!!Any chance to find a solution to fix it ??? After reading different forum, i can see this problem exist since many years and never been solved.
What can i do ??
Denis.

Things is my prpject includ few effect plugins i bought, so what ever i could find a mac, not your i could export xml project to finalcut with plugins it dont have

If it were me, I wouldn't encode to MJPEG.
So as to encode to ProRes on Windows you can utilise any solution based on ffmpeg/ffmbc or better yet find a Mac with Final Cut or Compressor installed for delivering critical work.

Waves plugins in Premiere CS5 (Mac) not loading.

I have the Waves "Masters" plugins and would like to use them in Premiere CS5 for Mac. Problem is that they do not load.
Here's what the "Plugin Loading.log" file says about it:
Scanning /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST and sub-directories
Loading /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/WaveShell-VST 8.0.vst
The registry tells us to cache so the plugin will be loaded from the cache.
The plugin is marked as Ignore, so it will not be loaded.
What does this means?

I don't know anything about Waves "Masters" plugins,
but if they're not 64bit versions they won't work.

Cs5 Brush cursor problem, on MacBook pro, tried the latest update, and the genious dude had no idea of what to do! Apple any fix?

Additional Info - after working on this problem for 4 hours, I shut my laptop in frustration and took a break. 1 hour later I opened my mac and the cursor had magically returned. No restart, no power on/off - nothing. Frustration. If anyone else has had this happen and has actually fixed the problem let me know. I'm sure it will reoccur.
