Hi, I'm really having trouble with photoshop suddenly being extremely slow.

In the activity monitor I can see it uses 5GB when opened. Can I run photoshop through an external drive or how can I fix this problem?

Due to the current unavailability of clairvoyants and mind-readers in the forum, we respectfully request you supply sensible, complete details.

I'm not sure how to post a message. I hope this might interest someone. The situation; 3 floors,I am having trouble with an an Airport Extreme, 802.11n on the top floor and a Mac Pro 3.1 on the bottom floor. Not always but often it has trouble seeing the Airport and making a connection. I have an older Airport Express, would it help to install it? would it work best if it was installed in the same room? should it be installed half way in between? Get another Extreme? The Mac Book Pro on the middle floor can see 11 networks in the neighbourhood if that might be causing a problem or would if I installed the Express. Thank for your consideration.

Thanks for your time ... I appologize for the font and colour, I compossed the question in pages and failed to notice the font colour as grey ... there are a variety of computers of various ages so I think it is using a setting that allows both 5G and 2.4 ... the connection to the Airport is thru a cable modem and cable does run throuhout the house ... maybe those hard wires would be a place to look at ... do you think that putting the 'Express' on the second floor might help ... thanks again ...

Still having trouble with Photoshop CC

Hi,
I've continuing to have problem painting in Photoshop, and was wondering if anyone else was encountering the same problem. The issue is not so much a brush lag
as it is a spilt second freeze/stall just before a brush stroke. It doesn't happen continuously, just every few minutes and primarily on thin lines (5-10 pixels) on higher Opacity.
It's very distracting. I'm tried all manner of different things after having gone through forum posts (Photoshop preferences, Wacom driver updates, raising and lowering performance).
Unfortunately nothing seems to remove this momentary freeze. At this stage I can't tell whether it's an issue with Photoshop, the Wacom (an Intros 4), or my iMac. Everything put the Wacom
was purchased within the last two years.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thank you,
Dave

My Intros 4 is close to five years old, and I'm wondering if it's age is the problem. Overall, Photoshop/Wacom work but it just seems to freeze/delay when I either use a fine pixel size, or go to another section of the screen to paint. I've had an issue like this in any Photoshop version I've run. It began with Photoshop CC and I've not found a solution yet. I feel like i've tried everything but purchase a new Wacom.

Anyone having trouble with Photoshop CS6 with Intuos3?

I've been using CS6 since just after the Beta was released and I like many of the new features. I would probably love the software if not for one huge problem I'm having... no pressure sensitivity with my Intuos3.
My Intuos3 works fine with CS2 and CS3 but not with CS6. I even unistalled all versions of Photoshop except for CS6 in case there was some sort of conflict going on but still no pressure sensitivity. Reinstalled CS3 and it works fine in that application, and still not in CS6.
Does anyone else have this issue? I believe it must be a CS6 issue and not an Intuos3 issue for the fact that my tablet works just fine with previous versions of Photoshop.

No, Wacom tablets are working fine for most people.
Those who've had trouble found that updating the driver or reinstalling the driver solved the problem.
If you continue to have trouble, you probably want to contact Wacom and have them help you troubleshoot the driver.

I'am having trouble with Photoshop Elements 12

In Photo Elements 12 I can open the organizer but not the Editor. I am afraid that if I uninstall and install again I will loose what I have edited on certain photos. Please help, I need to edit a few pictures and I can't do so. Once I open it,
it says Photoshop Elements 12 Editor has stopped working, then Windows starts looking for a solution for the problem, at the end it says, " A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I hit the close program button and it just closes all out. HELP PLEASE!

try using a different browser and a wired (not wireless) internet connection.
or download directly: if you follow all 7 steps, you can download a trial via one of the links on this page using a browser that accepts cookies: http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-12-direct-download-links-premiere.html
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a download problem, you didn't follow all 7 steps. typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem, but your browser must also allow cookies so that's (a restrictive browser setting) another potential source of problems.

I'm having trouble with Photoshop Elements 2.0.

A 'programming error' has arisen. Does having this Elements version entitle me to an upgrade?

Having trouble with photoshop install

I loaded Creative Cloud but Photoshop is taking over 40 minutes to load. Have to go to Photoshop class in less than 1 hour. Need urgent help

Where is progress bar up to? Like I said above, if it is at the halfway stage, it has probably finished the download, and is stalling at the installation stage. You could try and do some heavy browsing - like watch a YouTube video, to see if your bandwidth is still maxed out.
You must be getting 'very' short on time now, but I would be inclined to give up, restart the computer, and try again. If it were not for the short time frame, I'd also run the Cleaner tool. In Fact I suspect you might need to

Hi Guys and girls, I am having trouble with photoshop just starting up randomly

Every hour or so Photoshop just launches for no reason at all - I can be watching a movie so it's not something I'm doing whilst at the computer - any help on this matter would be most appreciated - I think I've changed a setting accidentally or uninstalled something I may have needed?
Any help on this matter would be so appreciated.
Sincerely
Matty

For everyone having trouble with USB not being recognized......

When doing the installation, when it tells you to plug the Nano into the USB port to make sure it can find it(or whatever it says) DONT do it! Click on the box that says you want to continue installation without plugging it in. You have to download ALL of the software and all of the updates and THEN plug it in and magically it works! I have been working on this for 2 days and my 12 yr old accidentaly figured this out!

What if that doesn't solve the problem? =S
I've been having the same problem and I've tried like every possible solution that the apple support gives (totally deleting and reinstalling apple products, verified the driver, checked for viruses, disable every program that could prevent Itunes from reading my Ipod, changing usb ports, etc...) but NOTHING has solved it. It's kind of frustrating, it's been more than I week trying to solve this and nothing yet.
The only thing I can say for sure is that it isn't about the ipod, because I tried with another pc and it worked.
Please find a solution!!
Thanks

Is anyone having trouble with smart groups being recognized in mail after the Maverick update?

Since I updated my iOS to Mavericks, my smart groups are no longer recognized in Mail.
Is anyone else having this problem? How can I fix it?

Having trouble with each track being input into the library individually

Old computer was fried, couldn't backwards sync iPod to new computer. Now trying to import CDs into Library and it is adding each track as an item in the Library rather than the whole album or CD. I've tried it twice. This is so aggravating!!!

Not glad to hear that you are having the same issue but I'm glad I'm not crazy and doing something wrong. It seems this version of iTunes was a real stinker.

Having trouble with Photosmart c6280 being recognized through my time capsule.

Printer works fine when connected directly to computer. I got a new desk and when I put everything back together I decided it was time to set up the printer for wireless printing and connect it to the time capsule instead. I went to System Preferences, Printers, and added it there with the new "pathway" (I'm not sure of the lingo) and that seemed to go fine. But the HP utility can't access the printer and I can't scan anything. I'm not sure what to do next. Any ideas? Thanks for the help.

So, since I got no reply to my question I took the iPod into the Apple store and tried to dock it to another third party device. Same problem, no digital control of the iPod. After about 30 minutes of looking it over, the Apple Genius agreed the issue was likely hardware related and issued me a replacement. So apart from about an hour of my time in the store and however long it will take me to reload my library, I'm rather pleased.

Trouble with Photoshop Cs6

Having trouble with Photoshop cs6. Brushes that i have downloaded from 3rd party websites were deleted from Photoshop after months of use. We replaced all the brushes 1 by 1 but now there is an extreme lag in almost every function in photoshop that i had never experienced before. Dont know what is going wrong.

I am having trouble with plug-ins. How do I cure this? The last time I believe I had to update my operating system. My current operating sytstem is MAX OSx , Version 10.6.8

I am having trouble with plug-ins being blocked. I have an I-Mac, 2.4 Ghz processor, 2 GB memory, and using Safari as my browser. My operating system is MAC OSX Version 10.6.8

Any particular plugin or all of them? If Adobe Flash Player, try un-installing and then re-installing.
