CS6 does not see my GPU. It did and now not.

Hi CS6 stopped seeing my GPU. I noticed the problem when trying to do one of Deke's 3D tutes on on lynda.com. So I was able to do most things till I tried 3D. In cs5.1 can see it and allows my to activate it. I recently uninstalled CS5.1. I reinstalled it to see if that would help and it runs extremely slow now and often spins the pinwheel at any little thing.
This is what I see now. See how the GPU is greyed out?
I reinstalled CS5.1 to check what up and checked the prerences there and the GPU is availible and defaulted to my previous settings. These are the CS5.1 settings. See how the GPU is not greyed out.
CS5.1 runs even slower than before though. I have ungraded from an old white mac book to a new mac book pro and beefed up the RAM and now have the following specs to work with
If it helps.. I am now also running into an error message that bridge can no read the cashe, too.
Thanks for any help you can lend, Uhane,
(Merideth, Are you still around? Wanted to thanks you again for your help last time)

Hello and thanks for responding.

CS5 didn't do as much error checking, or make as heavy a usage of the GPU.
CS6 does more error checking (because we found GPUs crashing Photoshop too often), and tries to use the GPU more often.<end quote>
PS6 does not crash perse. It will report as a crash after I have com/Q somethimes, even without open docs but that is another bug. This one has to do with the GPU becoming greyed out in preferences and unavalable after having been available. This problem is intermitent. It seems it is not a problem anyone else is reporting.

If the GPU is allowed for it's basic version and feature set, then there are a couple possibilities: if the GPU returned an error when it shouldn't, or if Photoshop crashed during a call to the GPU driver - then it will be disabled (because now we know it can't be trusted).<endquote>
The GPU greyout is either all in or all out. I can do 3D just fine when it's operable. The screen shots above was for the CS5.1 comparason, showing it enabled and active.
<quote>
Also, 256Meg of VRAM is too little to use the 3D features in Photoshop CS6.  So the 3D features will be disabled in CS6 even if the GPU is enabled for basic display use.
Was the GPU ever enabled in Photoshop CS6? Does your System Info log show any errors for the GPU? (probably does, otherwise you would have the GPU model and driver version listed in prefs)<endquote>
I have no problem with 3D or the timeline video funtions when the GPU is enabled. No system log errors that I can recognize. Perhaps you could direct me to where and for what to look for there? I have the NVIDIA GeForce 320M which is standard and should be more than adequate.

  • HELP!!  Updating to IOS 7 wiped out my iphone.  I do have an iCloud and an iTunes account, but the problem is that about 2K photos wouldn't back up to either the iCloud or iTunes without doing some updating.  So I did and now I am screwed.

    The backups mentioned above only back up NEW photos I took and put them on my cloud.  My PC wouldn't recognize my phone without updating to IOS 7.  I did some chores and came back to my phone and I have an error message on my iPhone screen.  When I log into iTunes, it asks me to restore my phone, but I know that will wipe out the photos for good.  Is there any way to get these old pics off my phone before restoring?  Very special pics of my little boy on here.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize USB PnP Sound device connected  to iMac OSX even when activated in Audio MIDI setup. The iMac(i-7 processor,16 GB)   is working with this USB device without any problem

    Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize the USB PnP Sound device in order to produce a commentary sound track. The USB device has been activated on the iMac OSX by using the Audio-MIDI-setup and is working correctly with the iMac. When opening > presets >audio hardware I can only select between >standard >out  integrated > digital input integrated >microphone integrated. USB PnP is not indicated at this place.
    With the built-in microphone of the iMac I can produce the commentary sound track, but I would prefer a stand alone version for better quality.
    Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Annemarie!

    I'm using a Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 (which has a microphone on the side). I have several other devices plugged into separate USB slots: a keyboard, a mouse, my iPhone, and a Roland keyboard midi controller.
    I've considered that maybe the webcam/mic combo is the culprit. If USB doesn't work at a constant speed, that could very well be causing the issue! The sound begins to lag badly sometimes when it's working properly, so that there's a multisecond delay between speaking and hearing my voice repeated back over the mic which is another sign that something is wrong. I've also caught it making a strange electronic sound during its "hang" time once it stops taking sound input correctly.
    Maybe I should try to use line-in and forgo USB altogether then. I think I'd need a preamp and some sort of converter for that since the Mac Mini lacks a powered mic jack. I'm only a newbie musician so I've never set up such a system but it might be a better solution in the long run.
    I'll check to see if it hangs before or after my computer enters suspend mode, that's a good suggestion too. Thank you for your help!

  • Cs6 does not regiser in my Win 7 Registry

    I tryed to change my .JPG files to default to CS6, I go thru all the procedures but CS6 does not show up in my sysem default program list.  The answer from Microsoft  is the CS6 did not register in the system registry when I installed it.  How do I accomplish this?
    Ruben

    Microsoft people are correct ...it is the registry issue because of which the problem is coming up.
    NOTE:- Please create a system restore point and do the registry Back up before making any changes , as playing with the registry could be fatal for your computer.
    Navigate to Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications and find your .exe name ex:- Photoshop.exe
    Navigate under its name to shell>open>command.
    In the Default change its location to the actual location of the executable, Ex:- "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1" ( at my end)
    hit okay and then try and reassociate the file type as you normally would.

  • Extended CS6 trial Bug ends..and now CS6 does not open

    Another brilliant move by adobe. First they suggest they inadvertently included a bug that required one to manually decline the extended version every time CS6 is open;now the "trial" ends and CS6 does not open. Is this what we expect from adobe? Maybe so, I guess.

    There actually is a way to update Photoshop without running it.
    You might visit the following pages, for example:
    Edit:  Hopefully these links are fixed now.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=Windows&product=39
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=Macintosh&product=39
    Of course, these links don't help Creative Cloud users at all.  I guess they're expected to use the Application Manager.

    Did EncoreCS6 work at one time, or is this a new install and it has never worked? If it worked before... what changed?

    Have you gone to the vendor web site to check for a newer driver?

  • CS6  does not print

    windows7   Epson 2880 printer  I can print in Lightroom with no problem.  CS6 was printing okay.  Now when I try printing it says proceeding , but nothing happens. Cs6 does not crash.  Just won 't print.  My printer dialog box says error printing then recover file , but when i try again nothing.  everything else seems okay.  I restarted CS6 and rebooted computer , still no printing. What am Idoing wrong.  Is does CS6 haveto be re instalked ?
    Thanks , Mike

    This sounds more like a problem with the printer itself, or the printer driver.
    Reinstalling Photoshop wouldn't have any effect.
