  • How much Internet data does Creative Cloud send/receive when it connects?

    For a number of reasons, the only Internet access that I have on my main computer (a desktop) is via my phone's mobile hotspot feature. Unfortunately, this means that I have a limited amount of data available. So, before I set up Creative Cloud on my computer, I'd like to verify that CC won't be using up all my data.
    The programs that I'll be using are Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. My computer is a PC, if that makes any difference. Can anyone tell me: How much Internet data will these programs use for their routine connections?
    Also, if I want to keep up-to-date on the updates, approximately how much additional data would that use?
    Thanks much.
    P.S. I may not be able to access the Internet at all on my computer for several months. (I'd be transferring documents to and from the computer using a flash drive.) If this happens, will I be able to continue using my CC programs?

    Hi CarlaDee,
    I think downloading apps and updates will be the most data intensive. With the yearly plan the service would need to do a license check every 99 days. I'd recommend using the trial to get a sense of the bandwidth usage.

    How much internet data consumed during downloading process?
    Thank you,

    You should use wi-fi or iTunes, so that it really doesn't matter. 
    Why do you really need to know?

  • How much data does facetime use on my ipod 4

    My ipod touch 4g wgen i go to settings it says. 7.1gb available and 6.6 gb used but mine is a 16gb and when you add it up its only 13.7  and i think it has something to do with facetime cause i call like every day and it  lasts for pike one hour and fourty one minutes  (that is the longest they usually now last 30 minutes or less ) please help??:)

    FaceTime use does not use any of your storage except maybe a KB or so.
    The difference you see is due to:
    - The IOS itself using storage. The is not available to the users.
    - How GB is uses and advertised. See:
    How Mac OS X and iOS report storage capacity

  • How much RAM can PS CS4e use in Mac OS 10.5.x?

    I've tried to track this down from a number of places, but can't get an answer. I'm assuming the same as CS3e, which is a little over 3 GB.
    I'm getting ready to build a new MacPro and I need to decide how much RAM to add initially. I'm a Mac tech, so pretty good at building kick-but systems, but I don't have CS4e yet, so can't figure this one out for myself. I usually max out my systems, but I don't think I can really utilize a full 32 GB of RAM with CS4 suite, but perhaps CS5. No sense in getting more RAM at this point in time, when I could use those dollars for good glass to take more pictures with! ;-)
    And FYI, real PS performance comes from using 10K rpm drives for startup/apps and a second one for Scratch.

    Jerry,
    That's a very important Tech Note. Thank you for pointing it out.
    EXCERPT:
    Allocating Memory with 64-bit Processors
    Photoshop can directly access 3.5 GB of RAM when run on Mac OS (10.4.11 or later). If you have additional RAM on your computer, the RAM above 4 GB is used by the operating system as a cache for the Photoshop scratch disk data. Data that previously was written directly to the hard disk by Photoshop is now cached in this high RAM before being written to the hard disk by the operating system. If you are working with files large enough to take advantage of these extra 2 GB of RAM, the RAM cache can increase performance of Photoshop.
    When you run Photoshop CS4 on a 64-bit operating system Photoshop can access up to 8 GB of RAM. You can see the actual amount of RAM Photoshop can use in the Let Photoshop Use number when you set the Let Photoshop Use slider in the Performance preference to 100%. The RAM above the 100% used by Photoshop, which is from approximately 3 GB to 3.7 GB, can be used directly by Photoshop plug-ins (some plug-ins need large chunks of contiguous RAM), filters, and actions. If you have more than 4 GB (to 8 GB), the RAM above 4 GB is used by the operating system as a cache for the Photoshop scratch disk data. Data that previously was written directly to the hard disk by Photoshop is now cached in this high RAM before being written to the hard disk by the operating system. If you are working with files large enough to take advantage of that extra RAM, the RAM cache can increase performance of Photoshop.

  • How much data does AirPlay use?

    Let's say one 90 min. movie streaming from my Mac to atv2. Any ideas aprox. How much Internet data that uses?

    You said internet data and the Apple TV doesn't use the internet when streaming from your mac ***. (The internet is the other side of your router).
    Additionally I assumed the question was related to cost or caps on data usage by your ISP, since any data you stream on your own local network doesn't cost anything (because it doesn't use the internet) it is somewhat irrelevant, although you may well stream 2-3 GB data per movie over your local network.
    *** If you stream purchased content from your own iTunes library on your mac, the Apple TV may well connect to Apple to verify authorisation, but this an insignificant amount of data and likely measured in a few KB. (1,000,000 KB = 1 GB)

  • I need to find out how much wifi data my apps are using. I have a very limited amount of wifi data, and I am exceeding my monthly allowance. Apparently, even apps I think are not open are sending/receiving data through the wifi and using up my allowance.

    I need to find out how much wifi data my apps are using. I am on a very limited amount of WiFi data each month, which I am regularly exceeding. I have been told to work out which of my apps is using the data. Also, I think I have closed an app by double clicking the home button, then swiping the app up - is this the way to close it, or will it still be sending/receiving data?

    Go into your Settings : General : and turn off background refresh for your apps.  In Settings : Mail  turn Fetch new data to OFF and Load Remote Images to OFF.  This will mean that Mail will only check for messages when you actually use it, and all your advertising junk mail won't have all the images in it.
    Turn off push notifications every chance you get.
    Make sure you are actually quitting apps:  to quit apps press the Home button twice and you should see a bunch of smaller screen images for every open app.  To quit the app swipe from the screen image (not the icon) upward off the top of the iPad.  You can swipe left and right to see more open apps, but there must be no left-right movement on the screen when you swipe upward to close the app.
    Turn off your internet connection when you do not need it.  The easiest way to do this is to swipe up from the bottom of you screen to get the control centre, and then touch the airplane to turn on airplane mode.  You can repeat this sequence to turn it back on again when you need it.  Most especially turn airplane mode on whenever you are sleeping your iPad for long periods.  This will save battery life too.  OR actually turn your iPad off - which means holding the power key down for several seconds until the red swipe bar appears, and then swipe to turn it off.  If you go this route, note that it will take longer to turn on then it takes to wake from sleep.

  • How much broadband usage does downloading the illustrator CC trial use up?

    would any one know how much broadband usage does downloading the free trial version of illustrator CC use up.

    alrographics,
    Presumably non critical, being more a question of download time depending on what you have available.
    But you can ask in this specialized forum:

  • Does facetime use minutes and/or data?

    does facetime use minutes and/or data?

    The call is initiated via the cell network but then switches to Wi-Fi once facetime connects.

    Does Facetime Use Data From You Data Plan?
    If so, what would be a good plan to use :200MB, 2 GB, or 2GB + Tethering?
    Or Does it use up minutes?

    Facetime uses wi-fi.

  • Yosemite OS is consuming too much internet data in the background

    Yosemite OS is consuming too much internet data in the background for no apparent reason. It's draining my monthly internet quota. It's important to note that iCloud Drive and photo stream are disabled. Anyone knows how to sove this problem? Otherwise, if there's no solution I think I'll downgrade to Mavericks.

    I'm wondering if you ever resolved this issue. My internet access is via satellite with highly allocated data usage. Ever since updating to Yosemite, my usage has gone through the roof. I've disable automatic downloads and any settings (including iCloud photo stream) that might receive or send data, plus I never use Spotlight. Data usage goes to zero when I shut off WiFi, so it seems obvious that something running in the background is the culprit. Apple is looking into this, with no results so far - meanwhile, I've lost hours of time playing detective, and hoping my ISP won't cut me off. No fun!
    Thanks for any ideas you have...

  • How much free space does a 4GB ipod need?

    why does it keep saying i dont have enough free space? i already decreased the space to 3.85 GB, and its still saying i dont have enough free space. how much free space does it need?

    This is more likely a matter of Apple specifying 4G as 4,000,000,000 byte rather than 41024*10241024 byte like your computer counts.
    Using the "1000 notation", your 3.85GB would require 4.1GB. Try trimming your library down a bit more (to around 3.7G). I don't have my Nano yet, so I cannot verify if the device actually uses any of those "4G" for things other than storing your data.
