Cs4 and cs5 LAG. no fixes work. HELP please!

Okay.
I just bought a new laptop.  i installed cs5 and it was extreemly laggy.  i then tried cs4 and it was the same lag wise.  I searched the web.  Tried all the fixes that are explained online and available.. i disable open gl . i installed the updates. i made sure i have the proper video card updates.  but still the lag is extreemly unbarrable.
these are my laptops specs:
intel core i7, 4gs of ram, and nvidia geforce 310m
is there anything i am missing?
i really need to get to work on my projects which require me to use photoshop.
if anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it.
if you need anymore info let me know and ill post.

Not sure on the video card, or even what its effect on lag is.  There are probably many factors including HD internal or external (slow), cache location (diff. physical drive than page file and OS), RAM (4 gigs?), processor, other programs running at same time, and so forth.  Sometimes it can be as simple as conflict with anti-virus program.
There have been numberous posts over the last year on the lag issue (but not recently).  I don't remember what the results were.  I would suggest you do a search for "lag photoshop" and similar entries and see what you can come up with.  Can try Adobe search menu, but Google by most accounts is a lot faster.

  • Stuck on apple logo and Home button doesn't work, help please?

    Well, I dropped my iPod Touch 4g by accident and since that day, the home button hasn't really been working that well. Its very hard to use since you have to press it in really hard to get it to work and sometimes it doesn't even work at all. Anways, I was skyping with my girl and I didn't notice that I had to charge the iPod and it died on me so I was like what ever its normal and started to charge it. When it turned on, it got stuck on the Apple logo and its been there for more than a day now? What can I do? I know about the Press Home + Sleep button together but the Home button doesn't work at all anymore. I tried everything really. I tried to connect it to itunes and see if I could restore it but it won't recognize it no matter where I connect it. Tried it on 3 different computers and none worked at all.  I can't take it to an Apple store since there isn't any close to where I live and I really don't have anyone to take me there. So is there any other solution to fix my problem at home? or is it messed up completely? Someone please help me

    I have this same issue. But also, it isn't just that the lock/home button stops working, all buttons stop working. Even if you switch it to silent sounds are still played. I just got my iphone Thursday. Went to school the next day and pulled it out, it happened while it was locked I guess because my screen was black and I couldn't do anything! Thought it died already! This was around 12. Finally I pulled it out of my pocket again at around 3 and it showed the Apple logo and acted like it had just started back up. Which is what always happens after I get stuck playing a game or something. Help please, has happened two or three times just today.

  • I can't open itunes because it says "it cannot be opened because it was created by a newer version of itunes." I've downloaded newest of Windows and itunes and it still won't work--help, please.

    Hi--I can't get itunes to open because it says "the file cannot be opened because it was created by a newer version of itunes." I have installed newest versions of Windows & itunes recently, as the troubleshooter instructed, to no avail...Help!!!

    This error prevents iTunes from launching. The library file was modified to work with the newer iTunes version, so it is no longer compatible with the previous version. The good news, however, is that Apple does backup the iTunes library file into a subdirectory that you can use to revert back to the previous version.
    To recover a previous version of the iTunes Library.itl file, use the following steps:
    Open up your My Documents\My Music folder.
    We will first backup the current version. Rename iTunes Library.itl to something like iTunes Library.itl.bak.
    Go into the My Documents\My Music\Previous iTunes Libraries folder.
    You may see several files that start with iTunes Library and have a date included in the name. Copy the newest file in the folder.
    Go back to the My Documents\My Music and paste the file from the previous step.
    Rename the new copied file to iTunes Library.itl.
    Your library should now be restored to the previous version of iTunes, and you should no longer receive the message.

    I need to know how to rest my iPod when it won't conner to iTunes and says its disabled.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Can I run Photoshop CS4 and CS5 on the same system?

    I read somewhere a zillion years ago (right?) that you coould run CS4 and CS5 on the same system but at the time I wasn't even considering it.
    Run on the same system - not ness to run at the same time
    Or should I install it on a seperate drive (bootable) and go that route. What has everyone found to work and/or not work?
    Thanks in advance for your help
    BJ

    Yes, you can run CS4 an CS5 on the same computer.  They install in different folders and don't get in each other's way.  As a matter of fact, you will find many posts in this forum from the experts recommending to keep CS4 (or an earlier version) when installing CS5.  This way, there is no danger of losing any older plug-ins you may have that aren't compatible to CS5.
    When I installed PS CS5 I had problems with my scanner driver.  Instead of spending loads of time fixing that problem, I just use PS CS4 when I want to spend an afternoon scanning things. I'm not recommending that "lazy man's" solution, but it is an example of how CS4 and CS5 can be used on the same system.

  • High pitch noise in CS4 and CS5.5

    Hello.
    Firstly I want to say that yes I know people have asked this question before but as far as I can tell none of them have been solved. Some have somewhat useful answers but none of them truely solve the problem. This thread in particular probably has the most information about the problem I'm having http://forums.adobe.com/message/4298535#4298535
    I recently tried Premiere Pro CS5.5 and CS4 (trial version) to replace my Corel Video Studio X6 which tried to replace Windows Movie Maker. Video Studio and Movie Maker both crash whenever I imported large video files.
    Anyway I'm getting a problem where the video files I import to Premiere Pro CS4 and CS5.5 have a high pitch noise in the video preview.
    It's a high pitch noise almost like it's getting feedback from something. Also when someone is supposed to be talking there's a very low distortion, like the audio started playing in very slow motion but the high pitch noise is still present.
    I'll put a link at the end with the video file that's giving me trouble.
    The video and audio are in a single AVI file. The video format is H264 shot at 60fps and the audio should be Mpeg-1 L2, 48khz at 320kbps. I don't know if the video's audio is in 24bit or 16bit.
    I've tried different settings for premiere. Trying 60fps and 30fps for the framerate for the project. Trying 44khz and 32khz and 96khz didn't fix it. Using the "Desktop" preset in CS4 and Custom for CS5.5.
    My audio hardware is a Logitech G930. It's a wireless USB headset with microphone. My motherboard audio is Realtek HD Audio. Both are enabled but I only use the headset now and nothing is being sent to the Realtek audio chip (according to Windows' sound options). The headset plays audio at 16bit 48khz.
    The video file plays fine in every media program I own that can play the h264 codec. With the exception of Movie Maker and Video Studio x6. Video Studio will preview the video and audio just fine but when I try and skip around the program hangs and crashes. Movie Maker just plain crashes when I try and import the video. Some of the programs that can play the video are VLC, Media Player 11, and Media Player Classic.
    I'm not sure if Final Cut Pro has the same problem. I don't have a Mac so I can't test it.
    Here's a sample video that works the way it should. I pulled a BIK file from a game and converted it to H264 in AVI. Not sure what it's audio format is.
    http://www.mediafire.com/watch/15fr85n78xfu94x/Opening_Cinematic_Placeholder.avi
    Just click the download button at the top right.
    Here's an afflicted file. Not the exact specific file I have been talking about, but it has the same codecs. This one is shorter in length and smaller in size. It still has the high pitch noise, but since there is no one talking in this you don't hear the weird low pitch distortions.

    Just click the download button at the top right.
    If there's anymore infor you need let me know.

  • Fontproblems and fontcaches in Illustrator CS4 and CS5

    Hello all,
    I've been having a serious and severe problem using Ilustrator and fonts.
    As this is a very complex problem to explain, I'll try to make it easy to understand.
    First I'll tell you the specifications and software used:
    Imac 27 inch running  MAC OS X 10.6.7 with follow software:
    Illustrator CS4 + Illustrator CS5, both installed
    Fontreserve (running a central server and macs connect through a MAC-client) http://www.extensis.com/en/support/font-reserve.jsp
    So we use an external third party fontsoftware to manage and activate our fonts used in Illustrator.
    We only have the required system fonts installed on our systems.
    We recently ran in a big issue concerning fonts within Illustrator.
    I'll try to explain what the problem really is ...
    So normally we boot up Illustrator and we activate our fonts in fontreserve.
    The fonts get loaded in Illustrator. So that does work like it should.
    But the problem begins when we deactivate fonts.
    Font reserve does deactivate them and in Illustrator the deactivated fonts are gone or so it seems ...
    After a restart, I only start Illustrator. So our client fontreserve stays closed.
    I opened the job I worked on before the restart and Illustrator opens the document and loads the fonts.
    You read it right, Illustrator does find all the fonts which, before the restart, were deactivated.
    Where does he gets those fonts?
    So I started to investigate and tried a couple of things.
    1) I physically moved the fontreserve-plugin out Illustrator so it will not be loaded on startup.
    That didn't fix it because Illustrator still finds the fonts.
    2) I physically plugged out the network cable to be sure Illustrator could not contact our fontserver.
    Sadly he still did find the fonts.
    3) I used "Tweak Freak" to clear my fontcaches. I also searched for "AdobeFnt" to clean out the cache from Adobe itself.
    This did not work either.
    4) I tried opening the document again but this time in CS5. And guess what? Illustrator CS5 asks for all the fonts that are missing, which is correct because not one font has been activated.
    Strangly enough I decided to reopen Illustrator CS4 (Illustrator CS5 still beiing open as well), and suddenly Illustrator CS4 asks for the fonts too?
    A minute ago he still found all the fonts and after opening Illustrator CS5, it does not ...
    So Adobe what is the connection between Illustrator CS4 and CS5?
    And where does Illustrator store its fontcache?
    It would be nice to run a script on shutdown te delete all possible fontcaches.
    So after spending a couple of hours fixing this problem, it seems that I still don't quite understand where the problem lies.
    I'm hoping you can.
    As this is an urgent matter, I hope to get an answer or support as soon as possible.
    Thanks in advance.

    You should be able to see what files Adobe Illustrator has open by using the Activity Monitor.app application.
    To do so, open the Activity Monitor application (it's in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder). Locate Adobe Illustrator in the list and then double-click on it. This should open up a new window like shown in the image below:
    Switch to the Open Files and Ports tab, and it should list every open file that Illustrator is using.

  • Installation/uninstall issues between CS4 and CS5

    I had CS4 installed. I purchased CS5 (downloaded it) installed that.  When I got the disks via mail, I tried to install that version (disk version).  I started having issues as to which program would open a .prproj file.  Often the CS4 version of Premiere Pro opened.  Not what I wanted.  I eventually uninstalled CS5 entirely and then reinstalled.  Then things were working fine.  However, I then tried to uninstall CS4.  (I have seen from numerous posts/comments to leave both on -- which I really don't know why.  Doesn't make sense to keep both versions).  I prefer not to have an extra 4GB of space used for programs I am no longer using.  However, in doing so, the uninstall didn't appear to do a perfect job.  And now I can't double-click a .prproj file.  This icon is also blank white.  I went into Set Associations and I can't assign .prproj to Premiere CS5.  In looking at the Open With window, I notice that some of the icons for other Adobe programs are all splewy (Adobe Encore is using the CS4 icon, Adobe Illustrator is using the PDF icon, Flash Catalyst is using the Air icon, etc.)
    I could: a) uninstall everything, including Adobe Acrobat Pro (which I had purchased and installed prior to CS4 or CS5) and then reinstall everything -- sheesh that would take a while; or b) I could ask my friends here to explain and guide me!

    Hi Stix, Thanks.
    I am not so positive that there is no difference between the download version vs the media version specifcially because in downloading the updates, the site demands you choose your update depending on how your software was installed.  I figured that the download would be smaller.  Perhaps you are right. And maybe it is the same, in either case, when I get a stack of disks, I tend to think there is more on the disk and the download version is merely the core applications.
    Anyway, I had to uninstall everything CS4 and CS5 and then reinstall CS5.  Oddly, this didn't automatically fix my problem.  However, at least I was able to choose Premiere CS5 to open .prproj files and check off the box to use it as the default. (I wasn't able to before).  So now it works!

  • Contribute 6.5 can not ftp after years of no issues with CS4 and CS5

    The problem
    Contribute 6.5 can not connect via ftp using settings that formerly worked (and still do) in CS4 and CS5.
    How we ended up here
    I am the administrator website where
    Our content editors have been using Contribute CS 4 and Contribute CS 5 without issue, 6+ years.
    We are trying to upgrade to CS 6.5 to better support HTML5 markup now used within the site.
    When attempting to configure a website connection in 6.5, Contribute alerts:
    "Contribute cannot find the website files on the server. Please contact the website's administrator for assistance."
    After closing the dialog box the failed connection is removed from contributes website connection list.
    We have a shared hosting account and utilize ftp to publish changes.
    Server is Win2008 with IIS 7.5
    Again it's shared hosting, so read/write ftp are scoped to our account's directory.
    We attempted this on serveral pcs including on a PC with a fresh install of Windows 7.
    We can still connect successfully via ftp with CS4, CS5, dreamweaver, and Filezilla.
    Which is why I believe this to be a Contribute 6.5 issue.
    I've attempted the following troubleshooting articles:
    Use network I/O logging to log operations, identify problems
    I compared the I/O logging for both CS5 and CS 6.5 which both appear to log the same diagnostic steps.
    Contribute FTP Server Checker (quite dated)
    All successes reported. No failures.
    Troubleshooting a Connection CS4 (linked from with CS 6.5's help UI)
    As indicated above, alternate FTP clients have no issue.
    This appears to be similar issue to the following posts:
    5301620 - HELP - FTP Connection Error with Contribute 6.5
    5907180 - Contribute 6.5 can no longer connect to sites ...
    Unfortunately, there has been no solutions posted on either of these threads.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I can PM the network I/O log details if there is adobe staff who can get them in the right hands.
    (Again the logs only show successes.)

    @Zaldomoh
    Have you found a solution or been given assistance from Adobe to resolve this issue? I'm having the same problem (CS 6.5 ftp'ing to a shared hosting enviroment). Details of our situation can be found on thread 1384686

  • CS4 and CS5 Plugin Issue!

    2) When I open another photo and run Chameleon , Make Collage, I get
    1. Unhandled exception! Crash dump saved to c:\users\public\documents\akvis\crashdump.
    Please help! I’m running version 6.0.1253.3084-r
    I now get amessage stating:

    I used to run in CS4 however it does not run at all. I'm wondering if a Visual C file got corrupted.
    Thanks,
    Rudy

    Without knowing exactly what the bug is in the Akvis code, I don't know.
    But some third party plugins always need an update when new versions of Photoshop are released (especially those that try to modify Photoshop's UI).
    We work hard to maintain plugin API compatibility, and most plugins work just fine in new versions, but there are always some problems to work out in third party plugin code.
    (Macintosh plugins are going through a lot of problems in CS5 because we had to change the UI toolkit used, and many assumptions made by plugin UI code no longer hold)

  • Flash cs3, cs4 and cs5 always not responding in windows7

    I have installed adobe flash cs3, cs4 and cs5 in windows 7, but it is always not responding when I run them. While they are running normally when running on my WindowsXP. I had to reinstall them several times, the result remains the same. Is there any problem in my windows 7 ? can someone help me? thanx.

    Problem is not in your windows 7 OS, since i was working CS4 and now i m working with CS5 in windows 7 only. And i feel more comfort with this new OS. May be you hardware configuration might not be support to new technology like windows 7 and Flash CS5. Beca it is need high hardward configuration

  • Is it possible to have Indesign CS4 and CS5.5 both installed on the same Mac? 10.6.8

    We have a bunch of recent Intel macs at our corporation.  Currently they should all have 10.6.8.  They were all imaged from a base image that has Adobe CS4 embedded in it. 
    We are now using a packaging software part of the JAMF Casper suite and AAMIE to push CS5.5 to the end users.
    The problem is that we want to keep CS4 on the end user's computers in case of issues.  That way the end users can try Indesign 5.5 and see if it does everything they need to do and still have Indesign for backwards compatiblity.
    So we created a CS5.5 install package using the AAMIE tool which works fine.  We then use Casper to spam the package out to a Mac.
    The issue that arises is that a few Plugin errors occur during the lauch of Indesign CS5.5 such as:
    Adobe inDesign does not recognize InCopy Bridge UI.InDesignPlugin as a valid plug-in.
    Adobe InDesign does not recognize InCopyExport.InDesignPlugin as a valid plug-in.
    Adobe InDesign does not recognize InCopyExportUI.InDesignPlugin as a valid plug-in.
    Adobe InDesign does not recognize InCopyImport.InDesignPlugin as a valid plug-in.
    There was one more plugin error that occured before the first one but I forgot to write it down.
    If we click okay to them, the application launches okay but when you quit and relaunch it, you still get one of the errors.
    Is this because both applications are installed at the same time?
    Is it offically okay as per Adobe to have Indesign CS4 and CS5.5 installed on the same Macintosh?
    What else should we be considering what to do?

    Well currently, I'm just testing this issue.  I just installed the trial version of  Adobe CS4 suite on my mac and then deployed the CS5.5 package on top off it  The resulting errors that I listed above are the same ones that occur when the end user has a licensed volume license install of CS4 and CS5.5.
    So I'm still back to square 1 where when I deploy cs5.5 on an  end user's mac, they get those plugin errors when they launch Indesign CS5.5.  
    I am not sure about the licensing restrictions, I asked my Director and he is going to check with our VAR.

  • Can I use both CS4 and CS5 separately so as to use Version Cue ?

    I am thinking about buying CS5 to keep up to date.
    I cannot do without Version Cue which is only CS4.
    Can I buy the upgrade and run them to take advantage of both ?

    Yes, you can run both CS4 and CS5 simultaneously, however, you must first launch CS5, then launch CS4. I don't know much about Version Cue or whether it would still work in a CS4/5 workflow, but you could always try the 30-day CS5 Trial as a test.

  • CS3 script runs slow with CS4 and CS5

    I have written a table transformation script for InDesign CS3, which formats an imported Excel table.
    With InDesign CS3 the script runs well. Now I tried the same script with InDesign CS4 and CS5 and it runs very slow. It's about 10 times slower than with CS3.
    I tried to turn off redrawing, but this didn't help. It even got slower again!
    Does someone has made similar experiences? Could you solve the performance issue?
    Do scripts in CS4/CS5 generally run slower than in CS3?
    Does CS4 differ so much to CS3 that the script runs 10 times slower?
    What can I do to improve the execution performance?
    Thanks for any tips / advices etc.

    I now have made some tests with profile / timing. Here are the results.
    you find the code snipped below. It iterates first over all rows and then over all cells inside of the row. In the cell iteration, the function hasGapInLineBelow(...) does more iterations.
    The example is with a table of 42 rows and 9 cells.
    I have compared CS3 and CS5
    there are 3 test cases:
    for 1/1 means: first for-loop is in iteration 1 and second for loop is in iteration 1 (statements for first row and first cell done)
    for 1/9 means: first for-loop is in iteration 1 and second for loop is in iteration 9 (statements for first row and all 9 cells of the row done)
    for 2/9 means: first for-loop is in iteration 2 and second for loop is in iteration 2 (statements for second row and all 9 cells of the row done)
    it's strange that normal variable assignments take lot of time (like the statement startPos = indexLeftNeightbourOfCurrentCell;) -> I don't understand why this can be so time consuming!?!
    it's also strange why in "for 1/9" and "for 2/9" variable assignments take much longer than in "for 1/1"...
    could I use another data type than array for the variable isMergedRow? Which one?
    do you know any performance optimizations?
    in which time unit ExtendScript Toolkit shows the measured periods?
    how are the times calculated in loops? Are these the times sumed up over all iterations or is it just the time for a single statement?
