Have InDesign make better use of the processor units?

hello. I'm using lots of grep styles, which makes InDesign become very, very slow. It becomes unreactive for liek 20 seconds or so after any change applied to the text. In activity monitor, it shows some 101% of CPU use. Is it possible to have it use like 25.25% of each of my 4 processor units (I'm using a Quad-Core Intel Xeon), so that—hopefully—do the job a little faster? I know this sounds a bit weird, but manybe there's some trick?
(Using InDesign 6.0.4 on Mac Pro 4.1 running 10.5.8)

InDesign does not support multi-threading, so it can only use one
processor. Even if it did, it would probably be limited to one
processor for this kind of processing because it has to be done
linearly...
In addition to Peter's advice to get better fonts, if you need to
adjust that much kerning, you should probably do it as search and
replace in a script rather than dynamic GREP styles...

Why can't I make Lightroom use all the CPU-Power (all cores) available for generating Previews?

Dear Lightroom Team,
I've been a Lightroom user since the very first Beta, and I am truly happy with the work you deliver. It changed my way of editing forever, and you guys keep improving it.
Yet there is that one question that bothers me, and that i'm looking for an answer for.
My Workflow has the generate Previews checkbox checked by standard. I usually import between 150 and 2000 photos at once, on occaions it can be up to 5000 photos. Generating Previews always takes a significant amount of time, and Lightroom is only using 25% of my CPU Power while doing so. (using a MacBook Pro 8,2)
I understand the concept, that only using 25% CPU enables me to use the computer while waiting for the Previews. But most of the time I just grab myself a cup of coffee, do the dishes or other stuff, while waiting for the Previews. Usually I rund out of things to do, because it takes ages to Process all the photos. So I would really love to make Lightroom use ALL the cpu power possible.
I'm sure you guys have spent a lot of thoughts while coding this and have a very good answer handy. Looking forward reading it!
all the best,
Wolfgang

On my four-year old Windows 7 i7-860 system LR4.4.1 takes ~0.5 sec. per Canon 5D MKII 21Mp raw image to render 'Standard-Sized' previews with LR Catalog Settings 'Standard Preview Size' set to '2048' pixels. I consider that pretty fast!
I usually build 1:1 full-size previews on import, which takes ~5.0 sec. per image. Processor utilization varies between 15-50% for Standard-Sized previews and 15-65% for 1:1 previews. I consider this pretty slow, but it doesn't stop me from working on the images inside LR's Library and Develop modules.
I wait until 'Copy and import photos' has completed and can see Preview Building has started. LR doesn't slow-down much even with the 1:1 preview building going on in the background. Have you tried working in LR during the preview building (i.e. sorting, rating, keywording, and Develop adjustments)?

Better use for the Lock Screen

Why isn't apple making a better use for the Lock Screen (or lets 3rd party apps to do it)?
Why can't we get a preview of our upcoming calendar events, get weather info and other useful information just by pressing ON.
every other smart phone has it. Ever the old Nokia smartphone has it.
So why aren't we?

I have a book file that I need to export into an epub.

Synching has nothing to do with the version you use. Synchronizing would change formatting and if the styles are defined different it could result in a mess.
What you have to do is to update all numbers and links, which has to be done regardless of the version anyway before any output. And you have to check if the cross references are alive. I would open all documents of the book, but this has nothing to do with synch neither. This process would not be different in CS6, CC or CC2014. (Take care that you use CC2014, not CC!)
Use CC2014 as it has improved EPUB export capabilites, which are not available in CS6.
I would also recommend to redefine all Table of Content styles to activate the option to to add bookmarks and actualize all TOCs, this would help in the EPUB process.

How Do I Make Updated Procedure in the Program Unit of the Form to Work?

I have updated a procedure in the Program Unit of the Form that I modified. I am not sure what are the proper ways to compile or load the changed procedure in my form to make sure the changes work. Please help me with the following questions:
Do I have to use Oracle Procedure Builder to compile the updated procedure in order to have the form work properly? If so, how do I make the list of procedures in the program unit of my form to come up after I have the Oracle Procedure Builder opened and connected to our database?
Couldn't I just compile the form after the changes are made to the procedure (Body) in the Program Unit of the form in the Forms Builder?
Any thoughts and/or suggestions on this are welcome.
FYI, we are in Oracle Forms 6.i with Oracle database version 10.2.0.2.
Thanks.

There was no errors what so ever, no triggers and other module errors, when I compiled and created an executable for my form.
If the database is not connected, Forms Builder would not allow me to compile/execute any forms so I am pretty sure that the database was connected when I did 'CTRL' + 't' to create an executable.
FYI, the following is an excerpt from Oracle Procedure Builder Help:
A procedure is a subprogram that performs a specific action. ...
A procedure has two parts:
* specification (spec for short)
* the body
Specification
The procedure spec begins with the keyword PROCEDURE and ends with the procedure name or a parameter list. Parameter declarations are optional. Procedures that take no parameters are written without parentheses. For example, the specification of procedure proc1 is displayed below:
PROCEDURE proc1 (param CHAR);
Body
The procedure body begins with the keyword IS and ends with the keyword END followed by an optional procedure name. The procedure body has three parts: a declarative part, an executable part, and an optional exception-handling part.
and all of other procedures, that do not have an '*' next to the procedure name in the Program Units of my form, contain both Spec and Body.
p.s. I remember the '*' next to the procedure name means the procedure has been changed, and ... (sorry, I don't remember the rest...)
Thanks.

I have an ipad 3/32GB..I need more storage and not sure how to make better use of icloud and release GB

To add to my original question: I had a 1st generation ipad and 32GB was more than enough storage now I'm having trouble making movies, adding media, etc. I have bought another 15GB of storage on I cloud. Can I put all of my apps on i cloud?
I'm going to be taking an overseas flight and wanted to rent a bunch of movies but I'm not sure how to do that.
I would be grateful for any help
sherrislp

To answer your question, you could remove your apps and then download them again as needed. Your purchased apps are part of what is stored in iCloud and purchased apps do not count against the allotment anyway - As far as I know.
You would want to backup to iCloud before you delete the apps. If it were me, I would also back up and sync with iTunes - I still use iTunes and I back up to both iCloud and iTunes.
The suggestion that James made would be OK for bringing the movies with you on the trip .... But you need to be able to use WiFi in order to use the device and the way that I read your question, you want to download movies to watch on the flight. So that will not work on the airline flight. It would store the content for later viewing but won't work on the flight. That is my understanding of the GoFlex drive, but you would have to investigate it further.

Will FireFox support Norton Vault? I make extensive use of the vault.

I use the Norton Vault for my common site IDs and PWs. These are not anything that I am worried about someone getting the info but I don't want to have to try to remember them. The installation of 36... told me that Norton would be reactivated when I restarted Firefox but it appears that add-on is no longer supported.

hello, according to norton the identity safe is already compatible with firefox versions including the current release version. please run the norton liveupdate utility repeatedly & until all components are up-to-date. in addition make sure that the toolbar is enabled under ''firefox > addons > extension'' afterwards.
for more information please refer to https://community.norton.com/en/blogs/product-update-announcements/firefox-36-support-norton-toolbar

I just purchased an ipad, and now my husband is seriously thinking of purchasing one also. When we buy a book do we have to make 2 purchases of the same book for each ipad? Or does Apple have the same arrangement as the Amazon kindle.

I have just purchased an Ipad, and now my husband is seriously thinking of also acquiring one. When we purchase books must we buy 2 of each title, or does Apple have a similar arrangement as the Amazon kindle?

If you use the one iTunes account between the two of you then you can both download the ibook onto your iPads - I have some of my ibooks on both my iPad and iPhone. If you decide to have separate iTunes accounts then if you use the same computer's iTunes to sync to (with both accounts authorised on it) then you should be able to sync the book to iBooks on both devices.
If you have separate accounts and sync to separate computers then you can copy the ibooks between the computers via, for example, a flash-drive and add it to the second computer's iTunes (File > Add To Library). There is a risk that if you sign into the second iPad (or computer) with a different iTunes account and re-download one of its past purchases that the iPad (or comptuer) will become tied to that account for 90 days, so copying it over manually would be better than re-downloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

The system limits use of the processor.

When a process is actively loading the CPU some time (in my experience - until 14:00 CPU time for a given process, according to the monitoring system). After the occurrence of the above events process uses only one core (up to this point - used 8 "cores", 4 real + 4 virtual). Problem persists in Safe Mode, then reinstalling the OS (but keeping all the data). I can not solve this problem. The question is very critical, because in fact I can not use the computer for any intensive tasks.

Help if you can!
I have been having an on going problem with Aplle TV. I have the Firefox browser because the Internet Explorer would not work.The Apple tech suggested this may be part of the problem The latter browser would not download during my recent upgrade to computer. I am unable to connect my apple TV . I have the same password on my computer and the Apple Tv but no connection takes place. I am lost in an electronic jungle it would appear. I keep getting the same message when I attempt to connect - error # 37. Any suggestions! The Apple Tv did however work for a while in spite of the Firefox browser.
Norman

Norman, tv doesn't connect to a browser, Firefox or Safari - rather
it relates to iTunes. Both tv and iTunes accounts require your ID.
If you are logged in to both iTunes and your tv with your ID you
can then activate Home Sharing of your iTunes Library, Select
photos to share, etc.

How to make fully use of the new function of Tiger, "Secure Printing"?

Hi,
There, i don't know about the Secure Printing very well.
Does it mean that a username and a password are needed when
anyone wants to print documents on MAC OS X?
If it does, how to set the username and password on MAC OS X?
Any idea or suggestions are very appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Power PC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

You can still capture a screen in OS X. It saves your captures as .png image files to your Desktop.
Command-Shift-3 will capture all your see. Command-Shift-4 will turn your mouse into cross-hairs that you drag across any area. And a click on the spacebar (after the above keyboard commands) will turn your cursor into a camera icon that can capture individual windows. Still free.
Snapz Pro allows you to capture (as QuickTime video) anything in its window. It continues to capture until you close it.

Does the Webkit engine make use of the browser cache when downloading images?

I am creating an application that downloads a lot of images. Its an HTML Javascript based AIR application. I can't seem to find any documentation that relates to how cacheing is handled. Is there a cache for the webkit browser?

Can you copy this to the Feature Request forum so we can vote on it please? http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family And then post the link here so we can find it. It'll get my vote.
There are a couple of others you might like to vote on too, such as using the embedded preview for editing down. http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lightroom_capability_to_display_embe dded_preview
In terms of workarounds for now, if you haven't tried the 4.2RC yet, you might find the module switching a bit faster. And for better use of your exports processing power, try splitting your export into 3 or 4 and running them concurrently (i.e. set the first going, and immediately set the second going, etc.) as that'll make better use of the extra cores if your hard drives are able to keep up with them.

How do I make Flash use the original Photoshop file, not a .png one?

Hi, this might be kind of a basic question/problem but I can't seem get Google to help me. Since I've recently started out with Flash, I guess I just missed some newbie thing out, still very greatful for help though, since this'll soon be causing a brain hemorrage...
Ok, here goes:
I'd like to draw key frames in Flash, just simple drawings/skelettons using the pen tool, basically to create the movement itself. After that, I want to export the frames that I drew as images to Photoshop in order to apply texture and colour, and then put them back into Flash again, without tampering with the Flash doc I've already created, since the animation is already done. I want the file(s) that I'm working with to remain the same files throughout the process, from Flash to Photoshop and back to Flash again, like the way InDesign works. Is this even possible?
If this isn't possible at all, I guess the alternative is to draw in Photoshop and then import the drawings into Flash, put them in order and then make any eventual changes after you've created the animation in Flash, this is less smooth though still possible. But here emerges (sort of) the same problem:
When I import images from Photoshop, create animation out of them, and then realize I have to make some changes in the original PS pic file I head back to PS to correct it. But it just doesn't work the way I want it to... If I modify the pic file in PS, then use the "update" alternative in Flash Library, Flash just tells me that the file can't be found, and does not update the image. If I choose the "edit in PS"-alternative from right clicking on a symbol that is in the library, the file opens as a .png file in PS, not as my original file! It seems to me that Flash is creating its own library, not using the existing document. Is there anyway to go around this? How do I make Flash use my PS file which allows me to change it as much as I want (as with InDesign)?
This is driving me crazy, what I'm working on is supposed to be full HD, I can't use a freaking .png file... Gah!
Very many Thanks in advance!
(If anyone has any suggestion for alternative software, that's also very welcome!)

If you start the artwork in Flash, you are starting with a vector drawing. If you export this art as a .png so that you can edit it in Photoshop, you will be translating the artwork to a bitmap image at a specific resolution. When you edit this .png in Photoshop, you can save it, as a .png, and then import that .png into Flash.
After you import the .png, place it on the stage in a new layer. Position the new artwork over the old artwork. Then throw away the original artwork. Now, when you want to edit the artwork, go to the original file in the movie's Library and select Edit with Photoshop. When you save the file in Photoshop, the updated file will appear in the Flash movie.
If you have Illustrator, you can export your original artwork as an Illustrator file. Then you can open this file in Illustrator, edit it, and save it. Then, as above, import the .ai file into Flash and toss out the original. Now you can edit the original file through the Library in your Flash movie.
Alternately, you could start by creating the artwork in either Photoshop or Illustrator. Then import that art into Flash. Now you have a link to the editor for either file in your Library. This may simplify things.
Working with Photoshop and/or .png files will give you a larger finished file than working with Illustrator files. In either case the finished resolution of the Flash movie will be the computer's screen resolution, 72 ppi.
