CS2 and CS3 HATE more than 4-5 font styles......

Running Mac OSX 10.4.11 with dual 2 GHz Power PC G5, 1 GB Ram.
Both CS2 and CS3 start acting R E A L SSSSLLOOOWW when I'm using more than 4-5 font styles on a page, like when creating a new logo, and typing the same name in different font styles.... At that point every action takes a while, and I find myself waiting for the computer to react, while I can hear the hard drive crunching...
This happens ONLY when I have several font styles opened.... Once I outline them all, the speed is back to normal....
As my primary Scratch Disk I have my hard drive, which has more than 70 GB available free disk. Secondary Scratch Disk is set for NONE.
What gives?????

The problem more then likely is 1 GB of RAM running on 10.4.11 which needs almost that amount to run by itself.
The problem with the 150 GB drive is not so much that it is small by todays standards it is probably an older hard drive and therefore probably has a 8MB buffer making itwell slow at transferring files such as to a scratch disk which is also part of the problem as it is also probably the scratch disk and now you have these two things going against you and slowing the whole thing down each time you do anything that caches.
Like loading a applying styles to fonts.
I would suggest more then 4 GB of RAM and another hard drive partitioned so one partition can be used as a dedicated scratch.
Also you might look, to see if I am correct, by means of the About this mac under the Apple menu and look at the hard drives buffer if 8MB then you might want to replace it
with a hard drive that is much larger and has a 32 MB buffer.
Just some things to consider you are a bit behind the times.

Cs2 and cs3 and cs4 on the same pc xp? could be a mess up?

Hi
i have some questions
i bought cs2 some time ago , i guess 4 years but now i don't remember
and i did installed on my pc , never had a problem
after when cs3 come out , i tried the trial version , the first time i did not like it , but after 2 weeks , i liked and i need it for camera raw
i upgraded my cs2 license
well the point i donwnload the trial version of cs4 (english version , because most of the tutorials are in english) while cs2 and cs3 are in my language
i tried to make a custom install (i did not install all the comonent)
something went wrong ,when i tried to uninstall cs4 , i don't know but cs4 did not uninstall all the components (the uninstaller keeps adobe color Na, Ja, Eu, color common setting and cmaps)
i downloaded the cs4 cleaner for adobe page , but the adobe cleaner for cs4 was not able to clean these components, it tried to clean cs3
well i had to use windows installer clean up manually
delete every thing that is related to cs4
uninstall cs3 and re-install it
so after this mess, i ask if i can keep cs2 cs3 and cs4 (i think i will buy or upgrade) in the same pc running xp?
my second question
2) after updating cs4 , run the cs4 update utility and update all the cs4 components , cs4 seems to be more fast then cs3 , still on old pc with a powerfull machine like a p4 3.6 with 2gb of ram and a good graphic card pci express
is my feeling ? is the cs4 more fast then cs3 on not fast pc , isn't it?
thanks too much
and have a nice day

thanks John Joslin
CS4 is faster than CS3 on a computer which supports it.
which are the computer that supports it ? i run xp
why did the uninstaller do a mess up ?
thanks

LR1 undoes CS2 and CS3 Raw Changes

I imported a full wedding of already adjusted CR2 files into LR1. On random images it undoes my RAW adjustments (from CS2 and CS3) and sets them back to default. It still does show the little icon that says something was changed but when opened the settings are default...

File format differences between Illustrator CS2 and CS3

Does anyone know the difference between the file format of Adobe Illustrator CS2 and CS3? Is there a document that documents this? Can someone send a link? The reason I am asking is that I have written a plug-in which saves the current CS3 document back down to CS2 so that users who are still using Adobe Illustrator CS2 can open it. However, if the same document is opened by a CS3 user, what objects, constructs or data structures are likely to be lost because the file has be converted down to CS2? Most things seem to be retained and I have yet to find a problem but if yo save manually from CS3 to CS2, Illustrator puts up a warning stating "Saving to a legacy format may cause some changes to your text layout and disable some editing features when the document is read back in". Does anyone have any more detail on this?
Thank you

There are new features in CS 3 as opposed t CS 2 and the text engine has been improved some what in CS 3. If you have text on a path that is say curved you are going to see a loss in the spacing and way it is oriented. fixed in CS 4.
I forget some of the new features in CS 3 what was not a feature in CS 2 will be flattened when saved back.
Or the feature will simply not be available.

The AI File Format is not publically documented, as far as I know. I'm sure there are plenty of differences between CS2 & CS3's file formats, but you're not likely to find anything official on the subject.
What you lose saving back you're more likely to get help on, assuming someone's actually investigated this. I haven't, unfortunately. I wouldn't mind knowing either if someone has information on this.

I have an iPod 4s and I am trying to update to IOS 6.1.6. I keep trying to download but it will not allow me to click download and install. I have checked my storage and I have more than enough storage space available. Do you guys have any suggestions?

The only available, signed, iOS, for your iPod, is iOS 7.1. That's why you can't install iOS 6.1.6.

Sound like something messed up somehow. Maybe you can consider reinstalling the drivers again? @28.86.2.0

Images print too dark from Photoshop CS2 and CS3

Having used both CS2 and CS3 I now realise that the prints that I work on in either appear much brighter on the screen that they do when printed, as much as 3 stops darker when printed. I have also noticed that in other programs such as Google Picasa that I use as a viewing tool the images appear closer to the images from the printer. I have used various pro-labs that require their profiles to be used and my own epson 3800 printer at home and despite trying lots of different settings I am unable to get prints that look like they do on the screen they are always darker.
I am using windows XP on a dual core 2.4 PC with 2 Gb ram and an ATI Radeon X1600 series grafix card which I have just updated the driver on. The monitor is an LCD type and is calibrated weekly using a spyder 2 express.

First isolate whether your display is too bright or your printer is too
dark. I'd start by printing images from another source and see if they
look as they should. www.drycreekphoto.com has a number of calibration
images that should do for this purpose.
Once you've isolated the problem, we can take it from there.

[JS] Need Help Removing File extension (in CS2 and CS3)

Hello All.
I have a menu in a dialog that needs to list some file names, but without their file extensions (which will always be .txt in my case). The following is some code that successfully does this in CS3, but I also need it to work in CS2. Do you have any other ways to do this? One code that works in both versions (CS2 and CS3) is ideal.
myNameWithoutExtensionFunction = function( myNameWithExtention ) {
myNameWithoutExtension = myNameWithExtention
myEndOfFileName = myNameWithoutExtension.lastIndexOf( "." ) // get the last period (.) in the filename
if ( myEndOfFileName > -1 ) {
myNameWithoutExtension = myNameWithoutExtension.substr( 0, myEndOfFileName )
return myNameWithoutExtension
Thanks in advance.
Dan

I realized my mistake. The above code works just fine in CS2. My mistake was elsewhere. The name I was sending to this function wasn't being recognized by CS2. Once I corrected that and sent a valid name to this function it worked. So in case someone needs to remove file extensions, feel free to use the above function!

IPaletteMgrService in CS2 and CS3...

I try to use IPaletteMgrService in both CS2 and CS3 on the Mac (10.4.x, PPC only or Universal) and I am going no where... as always, I can get it to compile but the call back is not happening. In the class descriptoion table, I have: Class { kBscPnlPaletteMgrServiceBoss, kInvalidClass, { IID_IPALETTEMGRSERVICE, kBscPnlPaletteMgrServiceImpl, } } and implementation as: class BscPnlPaletteMgrService : public CPMUnknown<IPaletteMgrService> { public: BscPnlPaletteMgrService(IPMUnknown *inBoss); virtual ~BscPnlPaletteMgrService() {} virtual void PaletteMgrStarted(); virtual void PaletteMgrAboutToShutdown() { SysBeep(33); } }; void BscPnlPaletteMgrService::PaletteMgrStarted() { SysBeep(33); CFShow(CFSTR("it's a wonderful world")); } CREATE_PMINTERFACE and REGISTER_PMINTERFACE are provided. Btw, the callback functions' parameters are different in CS2 vs. CS3. This is the CS3 version. Any help would be appreciated. pete

I have iphone 4 with bill box evertything but i brought it from a person in germany with vodafone carrier but now its locked in india and i dont have that vodafone simcard and it is more than 2 years old so plzz help

I have iphone 4 with bill box evertything but i brought it from a person in germany with vodafone carrier but now its locked in india and i dont have that vodafone simcard and it is more than 2 years old so plzz help

FYI, many carriers can not unlock an iPhone if it is not active on their network. They probably don't recognize the IMEI because it's not registered to an account that's active on their network.

I figured it out. I needed to fix some errors in my account information. It works fine now.
