CS6 Interface is unresponsive and really slow when using lots of layers on OSX 10.8

I have a simple project, using lots of layers, but no effects. It takes more than a minute for the project to open, after which the interface becomes slow and unresponsive and doing anything in general is a pain.
I've tried changing settings relating to multi-processing. Currently I have 1.5 GB assigned to each core and it tells me it can use 7 cores as a result. I've assigned 13 out of the 16GB or RAM I have for after effects. Caching is also enabled.
The only thing I can think of is I can't enable the GPU for rendering as I have a NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 512M of VRAM. Is this the problem, or is there something else I can try/do differently?

MP is not going to help. Reset your preferences to the defaults. Make sure AE is up to date. There have been several bug fixes. Give that a try. If it's still slow please tell us what you are using as footage and give us some details about the size of your comp. Some footage is harder to interpret than other. One last question, what is lot's of layers? 15, 150, 1500?

  • HP Photosmart 8750 prints slow when using Photo Gray Cartidge

    HP Photosmart 8750 prints slow when using Photo Gray Cartidge ... sometimes indicates Black Cartridge failed, however upon reinserting works slow

    Welcome to the HP Forums ButchG,
    I see by your post that when printing with the photo gray cartridge the black cartridge will indicate that it has failed.
    I can help you with this issue.
    I would do a power reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
    With the printer still turned on, disconnect the power cable from the back of the printer, if the printer has external power module with a detachable power cord disconnect it for 15 seconds and then reconnect it.
    Hold down the power button for 10 seconds to drain the power.
    Then disconnect the power cable from the wall outlet.
    Wait 10 seconds and reconnect the power cable back to the wall outlet first, then the back of the printer and power it on again.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector)
    I have provided a document for the cleaning the contacts and reseating the cartridge.
    'Cartridge Failed' or 'Cartridge Not Compatible' Error Message.
    What are the ink levels?
    Are you using Genuine HP Cartridges?
    Check the date on the cartridges to make sure they are still in warranty. (not old stock)
    If you need further assistance, let me know.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • Why is quicktime slower when using multiple mdat atoms

    Hi,
    I've been trying to generate a mov file and I noticed that the more mdat atoms I put in my mov file the more the file takes time to load on QuickTime, iTunes.
    Even worst, on the iPhone the file takes more than 3 minutes to load.
    If there are too many mdat atoms quicktime even says that the file is invalid ( error -2004 or -2002, I don't remember exactly).
    Why is quicktime/iTunes slower when using multiple mdat atoms ?
    Thanks,

    Yeah! Problem solved: It's a QT issue.
    Cause: Mac Update Software downloaded a faulty QT.
    Solution: Download QT from Apple's QT site.

  • Prompting for password and username only when using dynamic parameters

    Post Author: Co3023
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    How do I stop CR XI prompting for password and username only when using dynamic parameters. When no dynamic parameters are used CR XI isn't prompting for the DB user name and password. The report is run from an application which passes the user name and password. I am using Oracle and the problem is both with the native oracle driver and the ODBC RDO driver.

    Post Author: jehanzeb
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    I didnt ask you to change it to static I said I took the parameters totally out of the report. Saved it. Then re-enter the dynamic parameters into the report and it worked for me. That might have worked for you, not sure why you changed it to static.
    Ok I have just created a quick report using dynamic parameters, it didnt ask me for the username password.
    Can you create a sample report - just to test the db? and see if it works? add only 1 or 2 fields in the report, create parameters (dynamic) and see if it works
    why don't you embed the username and password in your application, it won't ask for username password then.

  • Does DPM 2012 R2 still needs DataSourceGroups.xml and MaxAllowedParallelBackups key when using Hyper-V VSS Software Writer to backup Server 2012 R2 Cluster

    Hi,
    Does DPM 2012 R2 still needs DataSourceGroups.xml and MaxAllowedParallelBackups key when using Hyper-V VSS Software Writer to backup Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V Cluster with CSV's? Can't find a clear answer somewhere.
    Thanx for helping me out.
    DJITS.

    Configure CSV backups
    If you are running Hyper-V on Windows Server 2008 R2 and you’re backing up multiple clusters with DPM, you need to ensure that only one backup uses the same CSV at any one time. To do this, follow the instructions in
    Serialize virtual machine backups.
    If you’re using software VSS with Hyper-V on Windows Server 2008 R2, do the following
    Serialize virtual machine backups per node            
    Serialize virtual machine backups per CSV LUN

  • Photoshop CC 2014 hangs for nearly 15 seconds when using Layer Group Layers or Layer Palette Group from Layers commands.

    Photoshop hangs for nearly 15 seconds when using Layer > Group Layers or Layer Palette > Group from Layers commands. NOT on creating new group and creating layers and drag-n-dropping layers into group manually in Layer Palette. Got a UI design file with nearly 800 layers and lot of groups. This doesn't occur in smaller files. Using OS X Mavericks, Photoshop CC 2014.2.2, Mid 2014 15-inch Retina Macbook Pro.
    I understand that the solution would be just to cut the file into smaller files and design each UI view in a separate file but that would be painful. And it does not seem to be a very hard task to just group layers.

    Does the document also have a lot of layer comps?
    And can you post that document or send me a copy of it so we can see exactly why it is hanging?
