How can I speed up Illustrator CS6?

My Illustrator CS6 is running very slow and not previewing. Why is this and how can I fix it? I keep on getting a message that says "Can't finish previewing. Could not complete the requested operation." I am working on a 15" MacBook pro (late 2011) with Mac OS X version 10.7.5, 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 processor and 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory. Please help.

Do you have Growl installed? Disable it and turn off your timemachine if it is running in the background. Post the difference in performance of Ai CS6 after disabling these.

How can I transfer my Illustrator CS6 Workspace?

I re-installed Illustrator CS6 and I can't get my custom workspace to work. I had made a backup of Adobe Illustrator CS6 Settings>en_GB>Workspaces>Custom_Workspace (file) but when I copy that to the same location as before the custom workspace doesn't show up in Illustrator. What am I missing?
Thank you.

Did you restart illustrator?

How can I just buy illustrator, photoshop, and indesign?

How can I just buy illustrator, photoshop, and indesign?

Be aware CS6 Applications ARE NOT the most recent applications.
CS6 applications are older and are missing features found in the RENTAL software (CC). Paying for CS6 applications, means you are NOT paying for current features available in the RENTAL applications.
I urge you to compare feature sets and not assume that CS6 applications contain CC features.

can anybody help me please

You're welcome, j. If not enough free space availabe is the issue, now is a good time to upgrade to a much larger HD, as prices have never been better. Clear, illustrated directions are available at ifixit.com, macsales.com, powerbookmedic.com, youtube and others. Macsales, amazon and newegg have a nice selection of HDs, while the latter two also have lots of user reviews.
Given that your MBP is 4-5 years old, and the average life-span of a HD is 3-5 years . . . .
Given that you have a 17" MBP, you can install any capacity HD currently available, just make sure it's 2.5", SATA, and 12.5mm high or less (there's at least one Seagate monster out there that's 14-15mm high). All other things being equal, a 5400RPM HD is going to use less battery power, run cooler, quieter, and with less vibration, and, of course, run a bit slower than a 7200. An SSD is also a possibility (a very expensive one), but you're not going to see anywhere near the speed bump as newer machines due to the SATA 1 (1.5Gbps) SATA/HD bus bottelneck.

How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display?

How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display? When I click Get Info, the "Open in Low Resolution" box is marked and locked. How can I unmark this box? I currently run 10.9.1. I can open Adobe Photoshop CS6 in high resolution without any problem. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

There is no such thing. In CS6 only PS itself is Retina compatible. You would have to use CC for full Retina support.

How can I speed up the extract() function queries on XML

Hi,
Please I need some light on xml and indexes.
This is my case:
I use Oracle 9i R2.
I have a table with some rows containing some few xml documents (each row contains a big xml document).
Given a value for an attribute of a tag, I want to extract the entire section within the tags.
Example:
<MYTAG number="1">
.....big stuff here
</MYTAG>
<MYTAG number="2">
.....big stuff here
</MYTAG>
<MYTAG number="x">
.....big stuff here
</MYTAG>
So for number=2 I would like to extract from the document the xmltype
<MYTAG number="2">
.....big stuff here
</MYTAG>
I created an index and have followed all the steps from the XML Database Developers Kit manual. Then I would use extrac() as the document says.
Now some doubts arised:
Are these text/xml indexes only useful for getting the rowid of my document?
I mean, if I select 'x' from the table looking for some value, then the index is used. But when I use extract in the select to get the section I look for, the query gets really low, specially when xml documents are big. I think when I have only row with one document, getting the rowid is not the problem, but the extraction from the document is.
Is the extraction process faster because of the index?
For what I see, the index only helps me to find the rowid, but then Oracle has to deal with the very big document inside the row. At that point Its oracle against a big text processing and index has nothing to do.
How can I speed up the extraction of the section?
If there any other index or tool for help extraction to be faster?
I would appreciate to know what can I do. I need help on this.
Thanks in advance!

Well,
- What indexes, if any, already exist?
- What do the functions rl and nice do?
- What are the current query plans?
- How restrictive are the various predicates?
- What version of Oracle?

I have a license for CS6 on my MacBook Pro.

How can I have copies of CS6 on both machines. I am the only user of this software.

You can install and activate CS6 on both machines perfectly legally.

I just created a slideshow dvd in imovie, and when I hit finalize it said that it would take 7 hours to finalize. I've only had my macbook pro for 6 months, and this is the first imovie I've done...is this normal? If not how can I speed up this process?

Hi
Time needed can depend on several things.
• less than 5 GB free space on Start-up (Mac OS) hard disk = Redicolous long times AND a DVD that most probably will not work OK
Medicine - I never go under 25GB free space
• Use of strange file formats into iDVD - can force it to de-code first then re-encode - this can take long long times
I use
Video - StreamingDV as from miniDV tape Cameras - or QuickTime Movies Converted to StreamingDV
Audio - .aiff 16-bit 48 kHz - (no .mp3, .wma etc)
• Use of old Mac - My G4 600MHz took about 24 hour per hour movie. my dG5 - about 2 hours per hour (I use Pro Quality encoding)
• Pro Quality encoding - takes about x2 to process a movie

HT1338 HOW CAN I SPEED UP MY MAC IT HAS A GRINDING SOUND AND THE COLOUR WHEEL SPIN AND FREEZES

MY IMAC HAS A GRINDING SOUND AND ITS SLOW, THE WHEEL START SPIINING AND IT FREEZES I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF AND ON AGAIN , WHAT IS THE PROBLEM AND HOW CAN I SPEED IT UP AND GET IT TO RUN FASTER?

Does the sound appear to be from the hard drive, such as when you do any work (which means the hard drive is being written to)?
Have you received an email from Apple about their Seagate hard drive recall (for certain iMac models)? Check to see if yours is affected here:
http://www.apple.com/support/imac-harddrive/
In any case, a grinding noise is what I had, followed by other very strange behavior and the diagnosis was hard drive failure. So, whether you are covered or not, I would strongly suggest that you backup all your data as quickly as you can and - if you're not covered by warranty or the recall - book an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar for a diagnosis.
Also, please do not use all caps - difficult to read and it's considering shouting on the internet.

I was getting support for my Office 2008 for Mac, and the support tech said my OS was very slow. I have latest update for Snow10.6.7. Question; How can I speed up my Macbook?

Hi
In the first instance, I'd use Onyx and run through its sequence of maintenance and tune up tools:
Verify, Maintenance, Cleaning.
I'd also reset the SMC and PRAM (Google them)
If that doesn't help then I'd look at System Preferences.. > Accounts > Login Items tab (not Login Options). Check what processes get started at login and decide which ones you don't want.
After that I'd use Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor to see if any processes are using a lot of computer power or if anything else nasty might be happening.
If none of this helped then my final step would be to reinstall OS X.

Leopard install says it will take 24+ hours... how can I speed things up?

I encountered some issues with my previous installation of Leopard, so I decided to format, and re-install it.
I start the installation using "Erase and Install" and after the disk verifies, I start the installation. Only problem is, the installation's giving me an estimated time remaining of 26 hours.

Welcome to Apple Discussions:
That first estimate can be very erroneous. It should quickly settle down to a more reasonable number.

How can we speed up delta Process?

Hi All,
As per control parameter settings we have max. no processes as 6 and 10 data packages for one Info doc and its the same for that particular infosource settings.
but when we schedule the delta info package( R/3 - BW ODS) it is using only one process and one (data package per Idoc.
But when the data is being updated from ODS to cube its using 6 processes ( in SM66) and almost 6-10 data packages( details tab in scheduler page).
How can we speed up the delta load from R/3 to ODS, and make it use upto 6 processes.
Where can I check these settings?
Thanks in advance.
Robyn.

hi
one of the method to improove the performance in loading to ODS.
Go for PSA partintioning through RSCUSTV6
and u can partition the ODS object also RACUSTA2
then whole data set will split in to the several data packets in PSA and in ODS.
hope it helps
bhaskar.
