Configurator panels(even empty once) are slowing down Photoshop CS6 significantly

After updating java this morning, in some cases Configurator Photoshop CS6 panels(even empty once) are slowing down Photoshop CS6 significantly.
I noticed this when i got complaints about hotkeys not working when custom panels were open, the behavior was similar to holding down the hotkey for temp access to tools
I found a workaround where i made the panels not persistent and therefor they load everytime i expand them (slowing photoshop).
Is there a better workaround? and/or is this issue a known thing?

I Had a problem with Configurator slowing down photoshop and what I found on another thread here worked for me. What I did was to exclude Photoshop from my virus software. Once i did that my issues went away.

A lot of us have iBooks that are slowing down.

What iBook do you have? Memory? CPU usage? OS? Etc.
I purchased my iBook in January of this year. 1.42, 14", 512 memory.
It ran so fast. Faster than my 1.25 Power PC G4 at work! I installed Tiger a few month or so ago and now it's running much slower than it did. I've reinstalled the OS, removed CS2 and Dreamweaver (since they were the last installed), verified and repaired disks.
After updating to 10.4,2, system profiler now says "CPU Speed 1.33" even though it is 1.42. ???
CPU
Photoshop has 32.80, Safari has 3.5, Itunes 1.9
147mb of inactive memory.
I have 44.05g free on a 80g hard drive.
Only thing connected is a bluetooth mouse.
I'm going back to the Genius Bar tomorrow. I'm extremely upset that my iBook is running so slow.

I purchased my iBook in January of this year. 1.42, 14", 512 memory.
If you purchased your ibook in January your CPU speed is in fact 1.33ghz. The latest speed bumps from 1.33ghz to 1.42ghz on the 14" happened in July of 2005. Try repairing disk permissions and optimizing the disk to see if that helps. (Run a program like Onyx, Cocktail, or MacJanitor to do this or do it manually) Another user went as far as purchasing DiskWarrior (which is not a bad idea) to repair and optimize his HD and found that the 'peppiness' returned.
With 512mb of ram you will probably notice a larger slow down than on a machine with 1g. 512mb is the minimum amount of ram that is recommended for running OSX.

Songs are slowed down after I save them in Garageband

I am new to recording and macs altogether so bear with me. I am running an MBox 2 as my USB interface with Garageband into a Macbook Pro 2.16GHz. When I record, everything works fine and I'll save it. Then when I open it again and listen to it, the playback is much slower than when I recorded it but in the right key. I'm not sure if I need to reset the tempo or what, but I can't seem to save any song and then reopen it without it being slowed down considerably.
Any thoughts?

I am in the same boat as you, but with a tad bit more experience. Have had an MBP for about 2 months now, MBOX 2, and do a lot of recording with GarageBand.
Something that I have come to understand is that recording software such as Garageband or Pro Tools (which I use occasionally) has to retrieve files that are on the HARD DRIVE in order to play them back, while they are being played back. Therefore, if one did not know that HARD DRIVE speed was important (which I did not), you're a bit out of luck. There are two speeds of hard drives optional on the MBP, one is around 7000 and one is around 5000, unfortunately for me, I bought the 5000, and so playback is sometimes slow, and its frustrating.
Here's what I would suggest. First, export what you have of your song that is slowing down into iTunes and then play it. See if it plays back in iTunes at the speed you recorded it.
If it does... Go to the optimizing garage band performance page and do everything in all steps. Free up any available hard drive space you can (don't delete anything necessary but do what you can)... turn bluetooth off... leave all other applications off. .... All of these steps have helped me out a ton and I am able to mix at the speed I recorded.
If for some reason your problem is different from what I've experienced, lemme know and I'll look into it.
Peace

Music downloads are slowing down my computer

Is it possible that too many music downloads can be slowing down my apple computer? If so, is it possible to transfer music to my iPod and delete it from the computer's harddrive w/o the music deleting from the iPod during the next sync?
Please help!!!!!!!!

i believe when you connect your ipod you can go the settings and you could try setting it to manually manage your songs. and i think thats when you add your own files to the library of itunes and you can delete off of itunes as soon as your done putting it on your ipod.

Adobe Exchange Plugin Slowing Down Photoshop CC?

Recently, Photoshop CC has been running really slow, and slowing down my computer as a whole. I've been trying to trouble shoot what was causing this, because it wasn't doing this previously. I believe I've narrowed it down to two things - Too many styles loaded in my Styles panel at once (my custom Styles file was over 200mb, because I added a lot of styles that had high res images embedded in them), and for some reason, the Adobe Exchange plugin also seems to be causing a problem.
When I change my styles back to the default styles it helps speed thigns up, but Photoshop still doesn't start performing normally again until I remove the Adobe Exchange plugin. Anyone else having issues with this plugin eating up a lot of memory and slowing things down?

Hi Otmaxo,
Thanks for getting in touch. So that we can work out whether this is a problem with Extension Manager or Adobe Exchange, can you try closing Photoshop CC, then downloading the Adobe Exchange Panel (ZXP) from www.adobeexchange.com, then installing the ZXP file directly in Extension Manager without Photoshop CC open?
If this does not work, can you confirm whether other ZXP files can be successfully installed via Extension Manager?
Thanks,
Fraser

Save options panel not displaying correctly on a mac - photoshop CS6

Hi
I am finding that when using photoshop cs6 on a mac and when saving files as png or web files - the options panel displays as black and you are unable to see any of the options.
how do you change this?
Thanks

And the version of the OS you are using is a secret why?
Boilerplate-text:
Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated?
As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by keeping command-alt-shift pressed on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)

If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.

HT2055 Why does iPhoto crash or slow down my system significantly?

When I use iPhoto to import or work on my photos, it slows the entire system down big time and iPhoto itself continuously shuts down and I have to reopen. Just to import photos it takes several attempts to successfully get them imported to iPhoto. I love iPhoto and what it does but it is killing my system! Help!

What version of iPhoto and system are your running? How much free space do you have on your boot drive. Post just the first 50 lines of the crash report.

How can I stop Layer Comps slowing down Photoshop

Hi all,
This topic has been discussed in other threads, but always without resolution. So as I have just encountered this problem today, I thought I would post the issue again to hopefully capture fresh attention.
I just moved back over from Fireworks to Photoshop, mainly to make use of Layer Comps for displaying multiple states of my UI design. Everything was going swimmingly, but when I reached about 40 layer comps, Photoshop suddenly slowed, or at least the use of the Photoshop file with multiple layer comps slowed. If I try and drag objects/layers, they move painfully slow, making it unusable. If I remove all of the layer comps, everything speeds up again.
I thought there might be a memory issue (as in I had run out!), but if I open two versions of the same file, one with the layer comps, one without, the one without works fine, but the one with the layer comps is slow. If it were a memory issue, surely both files open at the same time would be slow, as would the rest of Photoshop?
I'm not sure how many layers I have, but the file is about 20mb in size, so not huge.
I find layer comps extremely useful for UI design and certainly expected to make use of more than 40. Does anyone know of any fix or anyway of making this work? I wonder if the next CC version of Photoshop will have improved it.
Thanks for any advice you might have.
Alex

Yes, I can't help but feel it is some kind of bug. If it were my PC running out of memory, then I would imagine both open photoshop files would run slowly, rather than just the one with the layer comps (while the other open file runs perfectly).

Fonts are compressed in Photoshop CS6

Something very strange is going on. All my fonts are slightly compressed, as though the horizontal scaling is set to about 80%. It's not restricted to one font - it's across the board.
Has anyone else encountered this? We have two macs in the studio with the same problem, and we can't fix it.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Cheers Emil
Unfortunately still the same. As you can see from the attached image - top type is how Arial used to and should render. Below is how it is currently showing.

Slow loading photoshop cs6

why is photoshop cs6 taking 6 mins to load have uninstalled all plug-ins as told running on new IMac

Could be that your pointed the optional plugins folder to something wrong, like the root of your hard drive.
Could be that you have thousands of presets to search through.
Without more information about your system, we don't know why a launch that normally takes 7 seconds or less would take so long on your system.

DT files dropped into Finder and whole Mac slowing down

Hi, I don't really know where to start my thread, so apologies if this is not the right place. My problem is that my Mac has slowed right down suddenly and my various DT files will not reappear (except for a few) when I restart. In fact, the DT is empty until I click at random, after which some of them appear. This all started when I did something that was probably unwise. I wanted to make a copy of my Photo Library for my external drive, so I created a file on the DT to put them in but this operation (about 5000 pictures) never really finished and I can see that these photos are stuck in some kind of DT limbo. What I may have done is drop them into the HD by mistake while I was dragging them to the external disk (?). I think that is what has bunged everything up but I have no idea what to do. I am trying to delete them within Finder but each time I do this I get a message for each individual file saying that the file is being used in another application and that deleting it might damage the other application. I can delete them, except for a few. In any case, this means clicking another 4500 times to delete each one individually, which is a bit beyond me. If anyone can help or direct me to another post, I'll re-post there.

Good! Available 194GB You are nowhere near the 10% mark.
Ok.. since things are slowing down... try booting from your install disk and run the Disk Utility app to check the startup disk for errors. You will need your install disk to do this.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
*"like when I first turn it on, it takes forever to go to the users box."*
Open System Preferences/Accounts and select the Login Items tab.
If there are any applications listed there, delete them.
And go to ~/Library/Startup Items. If there are any files in the Startup Items folder, delete those also.
And see if deleting this file helps.
com.apple.loginwindow.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file to the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.

Hundreds of DMProxy processes slowing down the Mac

Hi all
(now posted as a separate question)
I've got the following problem on my MacMini with OS X 10.3.9. and tried a lot of things (permissions, harddisk repair, PRAM reset, Startobjects remove...) nothing worked...
After a while after login (sometimes seconds, sometimes minutes, but seriously always after a while), usually reproducible when starting "large" programs like Adobe Photoshop after a few seconds, the mouse and screen update rate sink immediatly to once in 5 to 10 seconds and all processes are slowed down similarly. No work is possible afterwards, not even killing some processes or restarting the mac by key-stroke.
I used "top" from the beginning and could see (after a few minutes of "not-refressing") a lot of DMProxy (with UID 0) processes (100-1000) blocking my systems, when this issue has occured.
I even don't know which process has started these DMProxy's, so this posting is my last help, before reinitializing the whole system - I still don't know, how this could happen.
Any suggestions - how to get rid of this DMProxy's
Best Regards, Rico

Hi Pan,
Sysbase infocenter SyBooks Online and SAP note: 1982469 - SYB: Updating SAP ASE with saphostctrl / sapdbctrl and 1590719 - SYB: Updates for SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (SAP ASE) are the starting point to cover the update.
