when i open a New File, the photoshop become slow and finally no response
after 1-2 mins, the New File open ...
how to solve this problem?

This is a known bug and has been reported many times in the forum.
The solution, weird as it sounds, is to make a generic printer driver your default printer. If you don't have one, download it here:

Preview app is too slow to open PDF from Server Snow Leopard

Hi
After the Lion update into a MacBook Clients the app Preview has become too slow to open PDF files from Mac server OS Snow Leopard.
Preview app isn't not slow to open PDF present into local system hard disk.
Can you help me to solve this?

i've tested the network connection but it's works perfectly.
if i open network files with Office or other applications there aren't problems.
Only preview app is slow to open pdf's from server.

Making a interactive PDF from indesign, but it's too big. Tried to reduce file size in Acrobat, but it does not reduce file size.

Use the Optimize PDF command in Acrobat, it gives you more control. I think it's under the Advanced menu in Acrobat 9 Pro and File > Save As > Optimized PDF in Acrobat X Pro.
You might try playing around with different settings. You can also click the Audit Space button at the upper right to see if its from images or other things causing the file size problem.
Unfortunately, InDesign doesn't write interactivity in a very optimized way. You get better results with buttons, for example, creating them in Acrobat Pro and using the Duplicate command to duplicate them across multiple pages.

Every time I open a New File from the File Menu and I open it all of my desktop items are in it. What's up with that?

This is configured in Finder preferences under the General icon. You can make some changes to that behavior.

Logic error-hard drive too slow or system overload (new macbook!)

have made a few short tracks with logic with no probs. when i have tried to play the demo songs which have many tracks, i get an error msg saying hd too slow or system overload. i have a new macbook, 2.4, 2mb ram, 250 gb hd (with loads space left). airport turned off when using logic. what gives???

Samples that I am using are located on a 7200 external HD.
Is your external formatted for Mac? If you didn't buy it from a store that sells mac drives specifically, it's probably formatted for windows. You must reformat for Mac or you'll have a lot of performance issues.
I've a Macbook 2,2 Ghz Core 2 DUO with 2Go of RAM.
You should get more Ram, it's really cheap these days.
Airport is disconnected. My AUdio Buffer is 1024 in the Logic preferences.
Make sure the I/O Safety Buffer is OFF, and then set the buffer size at 256 or 512.

Photoshop CS4 too slow to open files

Hello all,
I have a problem, when I open a file on Photoshop CS4, the program open this slowly. I tried with image of various dimensions also 20kb and located on desktop, but photoshop it's always too slow.
Can you help me???
Thanks

One thing that can affect the document opening time is the establishment of the GPU-based display management.
As a test, go into the Edit - Preferences - Performance dialog and uncheck the [ ] Enable OpenGL setting, then close Photoshop completely. Now restart Photoshop and try opening documents. Do you see a substantial change in opening speed?
Of course, disabling OpenGL is not a viable long-term workaround, as you lose some features. But if it DOES result in a radically different timing, you could try re-enabling it and going into the Advanced menu and trying the different settings there - for example unchecking every option. Make sure you close and restart Photoshop after ANY configuraiton change so that you're sure you're testing the new settings.
Good luck.

OS 10.8.4 (recent upgrade) and can not open a .dmg file

I am using an iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 and have recently upgraded to 10.8.4 and can not open any .dng file. It indicats that it is not recognizeable. How can I intall my downloaded software?
Thanks

Something else is going on then. Set up a test/new account. If the problems appears there too, then it means it's a system wide problem.
Another thing to try if you have not already done so is to disconnect all devices from your computer, repair permissions and restart your computer. Or do the following:
Mountain Lion Recovery
Boot up from your computer by holding down the command+r keys. This will take you to the recovery drive.
Select Disk Utility & hit Return.
In Disk Utility select the HD on the left & click on Repair Disk (bottom right).

Extremely Slow when Opening a new tab

I have just bought my new Retina MacBook Pro after my 3 years Macbook Pro 13" is total lost and get the Mountain Lion OSX with latest 10.8.2 version
After migrating the MacOSX from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion, my Mac is everything ok but without Safari.
Once I wanna open a webpage from bookmarks bar, I usually open a new tab then click one of webpage in one of the bookmarks bar. The problem was happened in this action.
After I opening a new tab which I have set to show top site rather than History (all top site are locked like a set of bookmarks), the system extremely slow down even I just move my mouse from one bookmark to another on the bookmarks bar, it still have a bit serious delay more than a second.
I have just tested, if i choose history not top site is shown when I am opening a new tab, the performance really better. However, when I scroll to somewhere all have thumbnails for those webpages, the performance still slow down but not yet as serious as the top site and I think becasue I have choose over 12 webpages for topsite (which are all have thumbnails).
My new Retina MacBook Pro is the lower default spec i7 2.3GHz and the version now is MacOSX 10.8.2 with Safari 6.0.1
one of place I want to mentioned is my Safari and Safari Webpage Content are over 500MB once I have opened. Is it common and normal? I feel really upset that my new Mac doesn't really faster than before but the older one is Core 2 duo and 4GB ram vs the new one is i7 2.3GHz and 8GB ram....oh my god

Try clearing history and the cache...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
Select: Clear History (also empties the cache)
Deselect the remaning boxes then click Reset.
Quit and relaunch Safari.
See if that made a difference.

Adobe Reader XI is slow to open/print first file

My Adobe Reader XI slows down my computer whenever I open or print the first PDF every day. If I open the first one, wait for the slowness, then open another PDF, it opens just fine. Same with printing... If I print one file, it slows my computer for a couple minutes, but if I then print it again, or print another PDF, it prints right away.
I have completely uninstalled/reinstalled Adobe Reader/Shockwave/Air/etc., and that didn't help. I'm not sure where to look next. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

This can be solved by watching for a Popup balloon in the upper right corner of the Reader screen. The balloon contains an electric lightbulb and reads "Click on Tools to convert PDF documents to Word or Excel". Click the X within the balloon to close this popup and the Reader application will perform at a more normal speed. Some dumb AS$ programmer's bright idea really slowed things down for a bunch of Terminal Server users (Windows 2008R2). Next I need to figure out how to disable this "feature" from the outset. I hope this works for others. Cheers!

How do I prevent effects from being rasterized/un-editable when I re-open my CS6 file?

Since upgrading to CS6: when I re-open Illustrator CS6 files, I find that effects such as dropshadow, etc. are rasterized as images or other elements that I can't edit as "effects". I'm the single author of these files, so they're being edited on the same computer and in the same program version. Anyone know why this is happening, and how to prevent it? It's really slowing me down.

Is it possible that you have opened older files created in CS5 or earlier? That in itself is not a problem, but if the file wants to keep that earlier version compatability when you save, then there's a mismatch between CS6 and earlier versions of Illustrator, especially around transparency issues like drop shadows.
Make sure to save as an illustrator .ai format and on the second screen of the save dialog box choose CS6 as the version.
Not sure if that's it, but worth checking. Hope that helps…

found i had lost recent history(last 7 days).would not let me open a new tab. plus it did not open with the tabs open already.
any ideas?

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

Slow to open second PDF file with Reader X

Hi, I am having troubles since I downloaded Adobe Reader 10.0.1. The problem is when I have a PDF file already open, it takes forever to open another PDF file. Also, when I clic on an hyperlink to a PDF file in an excel sheet, it takes forever also.
Please help me as this is anoying!

Windows XP SP3 here, the very same version of Reader X (10.1.0.534) fresh install and protected mode DISABLED but the problem still exists.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
1. open a folder with a number of PDF files inside
2. double click on one of them: it opens in one second
3. double click on another one: it opens after 10/15 seconds
I think the problem is a sort of pre-rendering that Reader does on the selected PDF when you open them from File Explorer.
This is what's happening:
1. open task manager, Process pane.
2. open the folder with a number of PDF files inside
3. double click on one of them: it opens in one second and an AcroRd32.exe process starts. Leave the document open.
4. SELECT (not double click) another file: the task manager shows TWO additional AcroRd32.exe starting
5. when they close, double click the selected file and it opens instantly
6. SELECT another file: again, two additional AcroRd32.exe processes start. If you immediately double click the same file, it takes 10-15 seconds to open and this happens exactly when the two additional AcroRd32.exe processes stop.
7. double click another file: again, two additional processes start, the file opens exactly when the two processes close.
If you have the same files on your desktop, not in a folder, the files open instantly also ten together at the same time.
Any solution?

How do I return to Snow Leopard from Yosemite? Yosemite is too slow on my MacBook.

How do I reinstall Snow Leopard now that I have Yosemite?

Restore the backup you made when running Snow Leopard

Mac os x 10.6 - still too slow in opening applications

I would like to know why launching application time under mac os x is much slower than in windows XP or vista; in some cases it is frustrating as for example for opening Pages or Keynote applications. Even if under os x 10.6 application launch times are too long.
It seems that some major optimizations could be done by Apple SW eng. in order to improve these tasks and to give more reactivity
I don't want to speak about opening 2008 word or excel that something not presentable. In some cases, for opening word or excel, occur 10 sec

I've also noticed that Snow Leopard would appear to be much slower at launching applications BUT I seem to have cracked it on my iMac and hope the same will work for you.
I basically did two main things:
1. I went into system pref. and removed any/all unnecessary login items under my user account (Such as Real Player or Hp helper etc.)
2. Using a free utility called OnyX (link below) I repaired disk permissions, cleared cache files, verified the hard disk etc - basically executed most of the tasks relating to system performance through the OnyX interface. Of course it's up to you as to which options you tick/untick depending on what you feel is appropriate to you and how you use your computer.
After doing the above, my system, which was an 'upgrade' install from Leopard to Snow Leopard, is considerably faster and opening applications is very snappy now.
Hope this helps as it's a slightly better option than some mentioned above.
Chris.

Ultiboard 10.1 too slow to view 5.71 files

I have some old Ultiboard 5.71 files, that works just fine on my old PentiumIII-450MHz machine (with 5.71). As I wanted to take some screenshots of the design for use in a presentation on signal integrity design, and wanted to do that on the road with my 2.2 GHz Core duo laptop (nVidia graphics), I downloaded an eval verison of 10.1.
To my surprise, the screen rendering was a nightmare. My board took 30 minutes to load initially! Even panning around is at least 10x slower on the new machine & software, than with the older system. Is this as expected? The design is rather large (around 15000 pins, 10 layer board), and have a fair amount of polygons (as UB 5.71 had no way of keeping power planes away from mechanical features). But still.....a new version should not be that slow. I tried to turn off all real-time DRC, ratsnets etc, without any help. The laptop is fairly decent, 2GB RAM, 7200 RPM disk, 128 MB graphics, and at least much better than the older system.
Anyone with similar experiences? I think there was a redesign of the GUI after 5.71.....but it should not have crippled the system!

Hi Orbit:
We are still interested in the file for investigation. Please send the file as Nestor indicated. If you put my name (Garret) in the email's header, tech support will forward it to me, and I will investigate it personally.
