Has AE CS6 fixed the memory handling problems on Mac?

I'm disgusted with the poor performance of AE CS5.5 on Mac. The memory handing is primitive. Cinema4D is smooth, and just works. In AE CS5.5, I render at 50% and quarter resolution and I still can't get 30 fps. I have a Mac Pro with 32 GB RAM (yes, 32 GB RAM) and AE still stutters and crawls. Why should I dick around with memory allocations? I've tried all combinations of multiple frame renders and not. C4D just works with no dicking around with preferences (you know, unlike MS DOS...), so competent memory processing is possible on the Mac platoform.
Anyone see any improvement with CS6 on Mac?
Any info gratefully received.

Chaning screen resolutions is not necessary once I set up a workstation. You are stretching the concept of "configuring". The configuring you mentioned earlier is doing something like grekking your /unix/-r--f-s-t\\wini.ininini.config.sys files. Such is not required on a Mac. That's the actual point of a Mac. It's the same reason that I need not know how to rewire the phone closet jumpers in order to make a long-distance phone call: it's not my job. It's the job of OS and program makers to hide such behind-the-scenes fiddling.
The rest of your remarks amount to "dismantle your advanced workstation so it dumbs down enough so that AE works." Suggesting I use only one screen so AE works is absolute nonsense. I need 3 screens for my current project (cutting and pasting between 4 spreadsheet files). Further, every other non-Adobe program works with no problems on my current configuration: C4d, RealFlow, Vue xStream, Parallels, Dictate, and even MS Excel. Ergo, its AE that's the problem, not my "configuration". Nor is it Quicktime components that's the problem. Nothing esle has a problem with QT. Once upon a time AE worked flawlessly on my Mac. In recent years, it has become problematic. When Adobe added Almighty Flash capabilities to AE (and who in their right mind uses Flash as a source file format?), QT and AIFF stopped working in the timeline. Huh? AIFF which pre-dates AE? QT which works on everything else? Look, Ma, no QA or beta testing.
I am looking for rational suggestions as to why AE doesn't work on my Mac. A third-party clipboard utility, perhaps? Reasonable. Multiple screens? Not reasonable.
Can anyone esle shed light on poor Adobe programming?
PS: Mylenium, if you don't use a Mac, why do you leap to AE's defence and offer advice on how to trouble-shoot Macs?

Has Lr 5 fixed the Export memory leak?

Has anyone confirmed that the memory leak in Lr 5 Beta when exporting images has been fixed in the Lr 5 release? In the Beta all 16Gb of my machine's RAM could be quickly consumed if I exported a large number of images. I could release the memory by simply clicking an image in Grid view but it would be nice to have the export behave properly.

No, still nothing. This is about halway in, and for good measure I threw in a second export on top.
You can see the CPU getting a lot busier (confirming that breaking an export into two speeds it up) - but memory usage is still rock solid. Incidentally, this last one is exporting to TIFF, which seems to use a little less memory than exporting to PSD. No idea why that should be.
Do you have any plugins that could cause leaks?
Edit: OK, so that's cleared up then. I never tried the beta.

They fixed the right click problem, but now there is a bigger problem

after updating, I can use my right click perfectly on Windows XP. however, my windows XP starts to restart very often-which means the "blue-sceen" comes out very often. I believe many poeple has this problem because I had already read couple of complains...Well...I hope apple can fix it soon.

I could not right click on my macbook's Precision aluminum unibody enclosure under windows xp, and after updating the trobubleshooter, it works. However, my windows starts to restart again and again (the blue screen) and it says it is because the applemtp.sys has some problems. I read couple of others people's experiences on the Internet, and they all so it started to happen after they fix the right click problem.

Has anyone sucsesfully upgraded the memory??? In Touchsmart 1 i5 or i7 ???

Read asll the post about 200 or 204 pin yet seems no one has ever sucsesfully upgraded memory or what type they used 200 or 204 pin. Looking for a definite answer so I no what to buy and yes already called tech support have all the specs on memory but tech support says machine is not upgradeable after hounding for asn answer
This question was solved.

I did find a vendor who sells guaranteed compatible memory for this PC.
Their web page says it is 204 pin. Maximum RAM is 16GB with a 64-bit OS.

Did the new MBA fix the overheating/freezing problem??

hi everyone!
i'd like to ask anyone who has tried out the new MacBook Air: have they fixed the overheating/freezing problem??
i've had 3 MBAs over the 3 years (all different versions) and they were all overheating - i.e. when i was using them for a while and had more internet pages/applications opened they started to get really hot and at some point the computer slowed down to a point where i could not work anymore and had to just close it and let it cool down for a while. playing a youtube video without problems is almost impossible.
i love all the other features of the MacBook Air, but this slowing down is super annoying, especially for someone who spends hours at a computer daily.
plus the other day my friend who has a MacBook Pro asked why my computer was so loud - i never noticed but the fans are just so noisy compared to hers.
so please let me know what are your experiences with the new one compared to the older ones.
thanks a lot!

I have the high end 13" macbook air that came down to about 2000 cnd. It overheats quite frequently though. I find it the strangest when I am only watching netflix on safari. maybe 2 tabs opened with mail and preview app opened... Dont even have to mention other things.. it heats up when I am coding on Coda.. using photoshop (2 files opened)..
Another thing is that sometimes it doesnt register to the current time immediately. After I wake it up from sleep, I have to wait abotu 3-5 secs until the cursor can respond and the time is corrected (usually the time is at when I closed the macbook air.)
Have you guys heard of these problems?
Thx

Did Apple Fix the White Spot Problem (in older PBs)?

Did Apple fix the white spot problem in the older 15" PBs? By fix, I actually mean, in production - not having to send it in to have it fixed. If I'm going to buy an last generation, discounted PB it will need to be flawless.

We cannot go back very far away in the past in this forum, because posts are erased after a few months. I cannot personnaly answer the question whether or not the white spot where frequent or not, but it seems that there is for the moment very few posts talking about white spot in Jan/feb revision of PB15".
As I told you before mine from August has a very tiny white spot, that I will check carefully in the future.
If I can give you some advices :
Buy a refurbished PB less than one year old (Feb rev). Call Applestore and ask them if you can buy an Applecare on it, it will cover it for the next two years after the end of the warranty. Check the possibility to send it back if it does not work properly.
If your powerbook has no white spot appearing before 3 years of use, the probability it appears afterwards would be very low IMHO.

Hey Verizon / HTC / Google Please fix the caller ID problem, post 2.2 Froyo UPDATE.

Hey Verizon / HTC / Google Please fix the caller ID problem, post 2.2 Froyo UPDATE. This is a major Problem.

I have provided some steps below that may help with the Caller Id issue you are experiencing.
Try completing a soft reset on the device. A soft reset would be powering the device off and pulling out the battery. Once the battery is removed, place it back in and power the device back on.
Dial *228 and send. Once dialed, listen for the recording to prompt you for option 1 and select option 1. The phone should complete its programming within a minute.
Ensure you are using the area-code and 7 digit number format (ex. 9999951212)
Try removing the contact and re-adding it.

Has Apple ever fixed the fan issue that results from upgrading the hard drives on 2009-2010 iMacs?

Has Apple ever fixed the fan issue that results from upgrading the hard drives on 2009-2010 iMacs?
My CPU fan defaults to 3000RPM. I can rev the fan higher with 3rd party Fan controllers, but no lower than 3K.

OR you can short out the original temp sensor, to make the fans rev at quieter speeds.
You can also install an optical temp sensor in place of the old one, it will still read temps and adjust the fans accordingly, just not as good as an internal sensor.
Use something like this:http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-922-9229-Cable-Temp-Sensor-Optical-iMac-27-inch-Late -2009-2010-/111106349896

Has Apple fixed the audio encoding problem?

As many other people seems to have experienced before me, iDVD6 stops working when encoding audio. Everything works before that step but when it reaches the "Audio Encoding" sequence iDVD stops working. Did Apple fix the problem? What else can we do?
Thanks for any reply.

iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5) PowerMac G4

I followed your advice and restarted at 6:00 pm last night - this morning it was still going on - over 13 hours! The funny thing this time is that I got the 'rainbow ball' encoding audio at the beginning of the 3rd step, 'Processing movie' after only 1-1/2 hour. The last time I burned the same project, I got the 'rainbow ball' encoding audio message at the end of the 3rd step - in other words, it had processed the entire movie (which took 6 hours) and then began the encoding audio phase. I'm letting it run while I'm at work, but do you think there might be something else going on?
Here are some facts which apply to both times that I have tried burning the DVD project:
1. I have iMovie project (26Gb) on my external drive with about 15 Gb available space
2. and the iDVD project is on the internal hard drive with about 50 Gb of available space
The reason I moved the iMovie project to the external drive was because I would have only had about 24 Gb of available space if I left it on the internal drive (less than the movie itself).
Which drive is doing all the encoding and needing the most space - the internal or the external? I was assuming it was the internal drive. Should I move the iMovie project back to my internal drive and start over?
Thanks again - I'm a new member of this site and so far, it has been very helpful and informative!

Has Adobe fixed the cs3 print problem yet?

Please don't beat me up for failing to look for answers. I'm far from lazy. I've spent the last two days and nights trying to print out some portraits that came out too vertically elongated any way I printed.
I emailed nasty letters to Epson, feverishly searched the internet, only to discover on the internet that ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS3 was the problem. Something about not being able to print non-square images proportionately. Squares print out perfectly.
I went back and studied the program. The problem? If you measure the rulers on the screen (thaaaat's right! Physically hold a ruler to the screen!) the side ruler comes up short, so compensates through the printer.
What did I do in the short time I had left? I calculated the fake measures and the real measures, resized the images so they are proportionatly squished and they printed out perfect.
Am I going to have to do squish my work every time I want to print something not square? And please don't tell me that upgrading to cs4 (or whatever) is the answer. I paid money for cs3 and should get what I paid for.
Thanks!

Apparently, your notebook has an option for the type of screen.
http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=3188
"The E1705 has two options for the screen, a 1440x900 WXGA+ matte screen or a 1920x1200 WUXGA glossy screen."
This is probably why you were able to use the 1920 x 1200 resolution setting.

Has latest update fixed the "blue rectangle" issue?

If today's update did not fix it, is there any news as to when this bug will be fixed? I'd really like to be able to turn the GPU back on.
Also--separate subject--the new version seems to have some catalog issues. It didn't update the latest LR 5.7 catalog but some slightly older one. All sorts of minor issues result. Don't know if anyone else has had this kind of problem.

Ive had Samsung galaxy s2 and i miss it. Unfortunately ive sold it for an iphone 4s and id say im not so satisfied. Even though IOS is somewhat better than android, android team can really fix the issues pretty fast and clearly with an expected result, unlike apple.
As for the battery. Battery on MY iphone 4s *****, its still same ****** 5.01 had, and its draining in 6 hours of normal usage. Couple phone calls, text messages, surfing in internet and boom, its depleted. Usually i have to charge my phone once a day, but sometimes even twice. As for SGS2, i even could go 3 days without a single charge, however im not sure anymore with ICS firmware.
Im selling off my iphone 4s and excited about HTC One X, i have a strong feeling about that phone.
