Creative cloud and Photoshop so slow as to be unusable.

I have been having an ongoing problem with both Creative Cloud and Photoshop. Both programs have slowed down to the point of being inoperable. For example, it takes 1-5 minutes just to choose a tool in Photoshop. When either of these programs are open, it slows the entire computer to a snails pace. It was all working fine until about 2 months ago, when it suddenly stopped. I don't recall if there was an update at the time of the slowdown. The only change I remember making was adding some Kyle Webster brushes, but I removed those and the problem still exists.
I have run a number of diagnostics and virus scans on my computer, and all show no problems with it. (I have a mid 2010 iMac) So far, I have increased the memory to 16 GB, reset the preferences in photoshop, and checked the other things listed on the help site. I have tried to uninstall/ reinstall both Photoshop and Creative cloud using the adobe cleaner app a number of times. With the assistance of some help center employees, the system preferences have been reset, we have cleared the .tmp files, created a new administrator user and tried to open it in that user to test if it is a permission problem. Nothing has worked and the problem seems to be getting worse. Does anyone have any ideas on what might be going wrong, or something else I can try? I am a designer with a growing backlog of work that needs this program, so I really need to solve this problem quickly.
Thank you!!!
Kim

Creative Cloud Very Slow
Why is the Adobe Creative Cloud Connection speed so SLOW?

    Umm, seriously? No offense, but what you are saying is basically "I just bought a Mercedes, but don't know how to drive." You can plenty of info what each program in Creative Cloud does by just typing the respective words into a web search...

  • Upgrading and downgrading between Creative Cloud and Photoshop Photography Program

    I am interested in subscribing to the Photoshop Photography Program, but occasionally need to use Premiere and After Effects - is it possible to "upgrade" from the Photoshop Photography Program to the full Creative Cloud (on a per month basis, as needed), and then "downgrade" back to the Photography Program afterwards? Or would separate accounts be necessary to achieve this?

    Hi BernardB,
    You may switch the plans according to the requirements.

  • Creative Cloud And Photoshop Elements

    I am considering starting a small class to teach Photoshop. It would be a beginers class and anyone joining would use Photoshop Elemnets, at least that is what I would recommend they get. I am a Creativve Cloud member and was dismayed to find out that even as a member there is no way to get a copy of Photoshop Elements without going out and buying it.  At least that is what support told me.  Is that really true?  Is that a policy that can be changed?  After all, I am paying for a full CC membersgip which supposedly offers you everything Adobe has.....

    I understand they are a different genre.  It just seems that for the price of CC as well as the idea behind it (one price, everytthing a creative could need) that you should have access to it or at least the ability to download a free copy of it. I guess that's just an opinion, but it seems a pretty reasonable one.  OK, if the answer is no I will stop complaining.......

    Old versions of Photoshop Elements had a Photo Downloader

    Photoshop Elements now has an Organizer. Photoshop CC 2014 comes with Bridge CC.

  • About Creative cloud and Photoshop CC

    I use google translator because my English is poor. I bought the product for a monthly fee of about 24e and now I have here only a trial version. It is in Finnish. I would like the English version, because I'm used to Elements in the English version and the tutoriallinen viewing is the English version easier. What is the procedure. Can I have one serial number / license number / license key for your trial can continue. The program will ask for it. Thank you for your response. It is utterly strange, that I have no possible to get support for my own language Finnish. Your Marjukka Little Ettala, [email protected]

    There is no serial number for subscriptions - just sign in with your adobe ID.

  • I have recently updated the new apps via creative cloud now photoshop and bridge no longer work, they open then say they have encountered a problem and close, I also tried opening the old version of photo shop but getting the same result

    I have recently updated the new apps via creative cloud now photoshop and bridge no longer work, they open then say they have encountered a problem and close, I also tried opening the old version of photo shop but getting the same result

    What OS version? What's the exact error? Exactly when does the error occur? What previous versions? What is on the screen when the error displays? Does Photoshop get fully open?
    Try opening Photoshop holding down Shift key immediately to turn off plug-ins. Lots of good suggestions here: Photoshop: Basic Troubleshooting steps to fix most issues

    It's important to keep in mind that the picture files are NOT stored in the Organizer. They are not stored in Lightroom or Bridge either...
    The organizer is based on a catalog which stores the pictures properties, mainly the location of the pictures on your drive(s). It's the same idea of catalogs in Lightroom, and the nice thing is that Lightroom can convert organizer catalogs to its own format. The most obvious way for you will be to use Lightroom.
    Bridge is a file browser which is a different way than to use catalogs.
