CS4 not recognizing added memory

Hi,
I am running CS4 on a Windows Vista Platform. I have increased my RAM from 2GB to 4GB (max for 32 bit system). I've checked my computer and the memory is 'registered' and recognized by the system. Everything seems to be fine but when I go to CS4 Preferences it still lists my available RAM as 1645 (old 2GB figure). How do I get Adobe to see my new memory?
Thanks,
j.

Guys,
I've been searching and found this:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb404439&sliceId=1
See excerpt below:
The primary advantage of using the 64-bit version is to access amounts of RAM beyond what Photoshop can access when the 32-bit version is run. You can take advantage of more than 4 GB of RAM only when you are on 64-bit Windows, using 64-bit Photoshop. If you use files large enough to need more than 4 GB of RAM, and you have enough RAM, all the processing you perform on your large images can be done in RAM, instead of swapping out to the hard disk.
This table lists the amount of RAM available to Photoshop with the different versions of Windows:
Photoshop Version Windows Version Manximum amount of RAM that Photoshop can use
32-bit 32-bit 1.7 GB (this is exactly what I'm seeing)
32-bit 64-bit 3.2 GB
64-bit 64-bit as much RAM as you can fit into your computer.
The default RAM allocation setting is 70%. This setting should be optimal for most users. To get the ideal RAM allocation setting for your system, change the RAM allocation in 5% increments and watch the performance of Photoshop in the Performance Monitor. You must quit and restart Photoshop after each change to see the change take effect.
So I think I've got my answer. Thanks so much to everybody for all the help.

10.4.2 not recognizing extra memory module

I upgraded recently to 10.4.2, and now one of my memory modules is not recognized. the machine has the original 512M chip in the upper slot, but the 512M chip in the lower slot is not recognized. in the system profiler under hardware/diagnostics, i get:
Power On Self-Test:
Last Run:     7/15/05 7:57 PM
Result:     Failed
Failure type:     Memory
Memory slot:     SODIMM0/J25LOWER
anyone have any idea what's going on??? thx.

"However, I have another problem in that there is no startup chime on my machine, and hasn't been for a while"
Same problem with my PowerBook G4 - 1.5GHz - 512MB, only since the chime problem (not hearing it any more) has the problem with not recognizing the lower memory slot. Not certain if the two problems are related. So it seems from the discussions hear there are two solutions, $600 to repair, or purchase more memory to run in the upper slot. I do have to agree that it would be futile in my opinion to pay for the repair if the same problem emerges again, (as has been reported, at least in the forums,) meaning it could cost $1200 to fix (maybe).
"I think that terming the logic board, "fried" overstates the issue. In fact, the logic board itself is probably in good working order, thus its ability to report on the state of the lower RAM slot. The real issue is the quality of the connection from the lower slot to the logic board--essentially a bad solder. This connection can't be resoldered, so the logic board needs to be replaced."
This statement actually makes more sense then anything I have read so far.

CS4 Not Recognizing Canon HF G10

I have been using PP CS4 for a couple of years to capture clips shot with my Canon HDV. Recently I acquired a Canon HF G10 but I can't capture directly from the camera into CS4. My computer recognizes the camera (as shown in Device Manager) but CS4 does not recognize there is a camera attached when I open the Capture window. The HF G10 can export via either USB or HDMI but not IEEE1394 (Firewire). Is CS4 limited to capturing only via Firewire? I can copy the flies as .mts to disk and then import them to CS4 but I lose the ability to divide the camera feed into clips and omit parts as I capture. Also, as noted in another post, the imported .mts files seem to have occasional stuttering at random during playback. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Bill

Ann. Thanks for the quick reply. That's essentially what I've been doing except I've been using import in PP to import the .mts files directly. The problem is that if there is 1 AVCHD file on the camera then there is 1 clip in PP. What I have been doing is dividing the raw footage into clips as I capture it thus doing some preliminary trimming during capture. I'd like to keep doing that rather than have to divide a 30 minute single clip into 10 or 15 shorter ones. As for my machine, it's pretty beefy -- i7 Quad Core, 8gig memory, SSD, GTX-285 video card -- and I don't have problems with the HD clips I captured on the Canon HDV. I'm wondering if maybe I need some different import settings. The .mts properties are Mpeg movie, 1920X1080, Frame Rate 23.976 and Pixel Depth 32. Thanks again.

CS4 not recognizing new RGB working space

I'm using CS4 on a Mac. Illustrator doesn't seem to recognize a switch to Adobe RGB as my working space. I opened the same set of swatches in Photoshop and Illustrator. In PS the HSB numbers and the RGB numbers for each swatch varied considerably depending up on whether or not my working space was sRGB or Adobe RGB. But in Illustrator they stay the same for both working spaces - roughly the same as the numbers as for PS in the sRGB working space. So my conclusion is that Illustrator hasn't noticed that I've changed by working space from sRGB to Adobe RGB. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I do use the the synchronization feature in Bridge. However, when I switched the working space from sRGB to Adobe RGB, I did it simply by using Edit>Color Settings in Illustrator, as I did not want to change the set up in any other of the CS programs.

Bridge CS4 not recognizing tiff files

I downloaded an update for camera raw and installed in manually and after this I couldn't open Photoshop. I then uninstalled and reinstalled CS4 and now bridge will show thumbnails of tiff files but won't open large. All I see is a generic icon. How do I get bridge to recognize tiff files. It recognizes jpgs, and raw files. I'm using Windows Vista.
Any help appreciated
Suzan

All Raw files are reconnized as all jpgs. I have my Bridge set up as a film strip with smal thumbnails and if I click on one thumbnail it opens large in preview area. I can click on a Raw thumbnail and it will display a larger view in bridge then I can open in Camera Raw for preliminary editing. I cannot do this with tiff files. I can see them as thumbnails but when I click on them bridge doesn't display a larger image (only a small icon) nor am I given the option of opening in Camera Raw. I can double click and photoshp regular will open or I can go up to file open with and go to photoshop regular but Bridge willnot allow me to view a larger than thumbnail size pic nor will it give me the option of opening in Camera Raw. My camera raw preferences are set to "open both jpgs and tiff files with settings".
Thanks Suzan
I purged the cashe from one file and it affected all files(all almost 500 gigs). I'd been working on this for hours. Thank you and God Bless.

Premier Pro CS4, not recognizing .mpg or .m2ts files

Hello, I downloaded the 30 day trial of Premier Pro CS4.. So far it works great other than the following:
Cannot recognize .mpg or .m2ts (avchd "high def") files... It recognizes only .wma files. Is this because I have the "free" trial
version? My currect Premiere Elements 7 reads all the above files with no trouble.

OK, I good with that... but what's the point of trialing if you cannot manipuate videos ?? I'd hate to spend the $700+ without being comfortable with Premier Pro CS4. Allright, I guess I'll have to make .wma files to test.
Thanks for your feedback!

USB ports not recognizing my Memory/USB/Flash drives

My macbook, 2 GHz Intel Core 2 duo (if that even helps), with Leopeord 10.5.5 's USB ports stopped working, but the weird thing is, when I plug in my iPod or mouse, they work. But when I plug in my Flash drive to try to open up some homework or SD card drive, anything that contains memory, it doesn't work, the computer shows that it has been plugged into my macbook through System Profiler, it also shows when it's gone, but the drive doesn't show up on my desktop and I can't find it anywhere. I know the flash drives are working because I tested them on different computers, safely removed them as well. Some people on a different forum suggested PRAM and SMC reset, I've done PRAM, but I don't see how it helps. please help! I need to be able to finish hmwk!!

Memory module not recognized on K7T266 Pro2

Hello.
I have a computer with only 256 Mb of RAM and I wanted to add 256 Mb but my second memory module of 256 Mo is not recognized whereas it functions very wel.
Here are details :
- Mother board : MSI K7T266 Pro2 (ms-6380 v2.0) with 3 memory slots
- BIOS : Award Modular W6380F1 V3.0 071902
- Memory module of origin : Samsung 256 Mo PC2100 (2 Sides)
- New memory module : Corsair Value 256 Mo PC3200 (1 Side)
Configs Tested :
- Samsung only : OK
- Corsair only : OK
- Samsung in Slot 1 and Corsair in Slot 2 or 3 : the computer starts but with only 256 Mb of RAM (in this config, Everest Ultimate Edition finds both memory modules but also only 256 Mb of RAM)
- Corsair in Slot 1 and Samsung in Slot 2 or 3 : the computer starts with a blank screen and several beeps.
Can somebody help me so that my second memory module is recognized correctly ? I specify that I did not modify the BIOS.
I thank you by advance.

I'm no memory expert, but from being around here I've learned that there is more to a stick of RAM than the MHz speed. If timings etc were perfectly the same for the 3200 and the 2100, the system (the Northbridge) could simply set down memory speed to the slowest of the sticks.
However, I also know that many have been helped by entering BIOS, Advanced Chipset..., and go to the subtitle Memory timings controlled by..., and change from By SPD to By User. Then manually set down to 133 (266 effectively). This is if you absolutely want these two sticks.

I was directed to adobe to download CS4 on my new iMAC after hardware failure on PC. The valid CS4 serial number for the PC is now not recognized by Adobe, even though I downloaded all the software successfully on the new iMac.. They gave me a free 30 day trial on the new iMAC.........Does this mean I have to spend a lot of money to update and activate the latest CS release on the new machine ??????

Purple Lobster your Creative Suite 4 serial number is for Windows or Mac only. If you were previously using it on Windows then it is likely you have a Windows license. You can verify by checking your serial number at http://www.adobe.com/. You can find more details at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
If you wish to run Adobe Creative software on your new iMac then I would recommend a Creative Cloud complete or single application membership. You can find more details at https://creative.adobe.com/plans. There is also a 30 day trial available for the Creative Cloud if you wish to evaluate the newest versions of the Adobe Creative applications.

CS3 Preferences/Performance not recognizing full amount of memory

I have increased RAM in a Windows XP Pro, 32bit PC, from 2 GB, to 4 GB. Windows recognizes that I have 3,141,872 kb of physical memory available. Yet, Photoshop CS3 only shows available RAM of 1705 MB (Edit-Preferences-Performance-Memory Usage).
I am preparing to do Boot.ini modifications to the /3GB, and /userva switches to increase RAM available to PS. I assumed that PS would show an increase in available RAM, even before modifying the switches.
I've been assured by a knowledgeable Windows/PS user that these mods are straight forward. Yet, when I told him that PS was not recognizing the new Ram, while Windows XP was recognizing it, he suggested I post this on the Adobe PS forum.
Hence, my thread. In sum - why doesn't PS recognize the new amount of RAM, or how badly have I misunderstood the concept? (It's probably operator error.)

CS3 will recognize ~1GB more of your RAM after you edit your boot.ini file to invoke the /3GB switch, not before. Without going into all the reasons why this is so, just bear in mind that the /3GB switch is not risk-free; a minority of computers will not boot at all (in normal, safe or any other mode) once it's enabled. Make sure you have a viable exit/recovery strategy in case that happens to you. Also remember that there is no free lunch even if the switch works without a seeming hitch. In order to give that RAM to Photoshop, you have to take it from Windows. The UserVA that you mentioned helps to mitigate the effects of that theft somewhat. Know also that you can edit the boot.ini to give you the option of running with or without the switch enabled. This is accomplished by means of a menu during boot up. It's also a legitimate recovery option in the event your computer and the switch can't coexist.
I use the switch, but ONLY when I expect to do a lot of heavy lifting in Photoshop. I shut down as many superfluous background apps as I can, including anti-virus and my firewall. In other words, I don't push my luck by taxing the OS when running with the switch enabled. I would specifically not recommend using it for an everyday computing environment.
I suggest you read a little more before you make the move.
EDIT: Here's my boot.ini. DO NOT USE IT unless your disk and partition assignments are the same. I am posting this so you can see how to give yourself the option of selecting a config with or without the switch at boot time.
[boot loader]
timeout=5
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS

Did you try the logout/in? Of course this is redundant if you do the smc and pram reset.

Format AVHCD not recognized in Adobe CS4

Hello
I have download the trial version of CS4 which I have updated in to 4.2.1 with the adobe updater.
I have a camcorder SR10 Sony for which I have record in AVHCD Full HD.
When I try to import my MTS file, Premiere tell me that the format is not recognized.
I want to try Adobe for video editing.
What I have done wrong ?
regards

As Ann points out, NOTHING related to MPEG (any sort) is supported by the trial version, due to licensing issues with the MainConcept MPEG CODEC. The full-paid version has full MPEG (and AVCHD) support, plus it has Encore, the authoring program. With the trial, the best test footage will be DV-AVI Type II.
If you go with the full-paid version, please uninstall the trial, run the Adobe Clean Script CS4 several times (maybe running a Registry cleaner afterwards), and then install and update your full-paid version of PrPro CS4. Otherwise, you will have other problems. The unistall, Clean Script, install order is VERY important. Do not omit a single step.
Good luck,
Hunt
