I have two very similar iMacs but one performs better than the other.  Any ideas?

I have the latest Premier CC on two systems, my 27" i7 iMac w/16 GB RAM at home, and a 27" Retina i5 iMac w/32GB RAM at work.  Both are running Yosemite but I don't quite get the performance on my home system as at work.  Both are using Mercury openGL.  The graphics cards look comparable, far as I can tell -- both have 2GB vram.  So the only thing left I can think of is the RAM but before I go spend that money and kill myself if it doesn't make any difference, anybody have any thoughts?

Hi Scott, thanks for the quick reply.  I chatted with an Adobe support person who said the extra RAM would only make a difference in "Mercury playback software only" mode.  (Of course, this is the same support person who said, unequivocally that "...rendering is always necessary, sir" just after I'd told him that I never have to render on my office system, just my home system, so I'm skeptical he really knew what he was talking about...thus, I'm here in the forum now!)
ANYWAY...sorry to be so lame, but could you clarify how to set cache disk settings?  I found memory allocation prefs -- it was set for 12 GB for Premiere, 4 for everything else.  I changed it to 13 premiere/3 everything else -- which is all it would allow me to do -- but it doesn't seem to have made a difference.  Also, it behaves the same way even if I'm running no other apps at all so not sure the background tasks diagnosis is a factor, but I could absolutely be confused about some key thing you're talking about!

  • Once bootcamp is installed on my Mac, how easy is it to go back and forth from windows to Mac? Just a press of button or do I have to completely log off of one to go to the other?

    Once bootcamp is installed on my Mac, how easy is it to go back and forth from windows to Mac? Just a press of button or do I have to completely log off of one to go to the other?

    Using vitual machine programs (VirtualBox, Parallels, VMWare Fusion) you can run both at the same time.
    Load Windows under BootCamp.  Then load the VM software and select the existing BootCamp partition as the "virtualized space".
    But ... BootCamp first, following Csound1's advice about backups.  And you will wantto boost RAM most likely because you need to allocate certain amount of system RAM to each "virtual machine", as well as leaving some for OSX.

    I have an A0 ai drawing - but cant export as jpeg... any ideas?

    I think you're probaly exceeding the size limit for that kind of export - I can't recall exactly what it is but that's a pretty big jpeg.
    Can I just ask why you need to make such a large image file?

  • In my Macbook Pro finder folder under All Images, there are duplicate files, but one is small and the other is full size. I wanted to clean up the files, but don't know why I have two of everything. Any Ideas?

    In my Macbook Pro, the Finder folder has duplicate images in the 'all images' file. One image is small and the other is full size. First question is why do I have two of every image? Why is one small and the other large. Do I need two of everything? If not, which do I delete?
    thanks, Jean

    Hello fane,
    Re: duplicate images in finder.
    Nearly all images are JPG with a few GIF and PNG sprinkled in.
    I opened the inspector so I do get info when opening each image, but it a slow process.
    It seems that one image is around 70k while its twin can be up to 4Mb which is what comes unedited from my camera. Sometimes there will be 3 or 4 identical images in finder, but when I open iPhoto to see what ‘s really in the file, I find only one image, and it’s full sized.
    Are all these extra images, even if they are aliases, taking up space on my drive? And should I delete them? The info bar says I have over 10,000 images, which is rather a lot  for what I do.
    I am unable to add the file size on the view menu as it is grayed out. Don’t know why it’s gray, but having that info on the screen would save a lot of time and fiddling with each image.
    I am trying to resize selected pix so I can upload them to e-bay, which requires less than 70k. I have looked at resizing programs but most are for PC platform and not Mac, so I am trying to resize in the finder window under tools. Tedious at best. Any suggestions will be appreciated
    Thanks for your help,

  • Two Ni4472's in system, one swings to 10V, the other 6V, Bad Card?

    I have two NI 4472 Cards in my system, one swings 10V signal from a transducer in all channels, and the other only 6V, the problem follows the card.
    Do I have a bad Card or Am I missing something, I am using Lab View. Run-time 6.1, 7.0 and 7.1.
    Thanks for the help.

    Hi Rafael,
    The NI 4472 has an input signal range of +-10Vpk. If you have two NI 4472s in your system, and the same input connected to both, it is likely you have a malfunctioning DSA device. A good method to test the device is to open the Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) and reset the device, self-test the device, and verify a sine wave input is the same on both 4472s.
    Hope this helps,

  • Messages beta, does not connect to Internet when trying to use uninstall, but I clearly am on the internet, any ideas?

    I downloaded messages beta, and after trying video chat with my wife who was using iChat, I decided to uninstall, and every time I try to uninstall, I get a network problem saying that the messages beta uninstalled can't be downloaded as my computer isn't connected to the Internet, and I clearly am connected thru my wifi, any ideas how to get around this?

    Hi,
    Any version of iChat or the Message beta will have issues if you have two connections to the internet.
    In fact iChat 4 in Leopard has the worst issues particularly if the computer you are on is Sharing the Internet with other devices  (See System Preferences > Sharing > Internet Sharing)
    iChat can just about manage in Text Chats  to connect with other people.
    In Video Chats and Audio Only chats and Screen Sharing ichat needs to be in "One Place"
    With two IPs issued from a router for Wifi and Ethernet (See the differences in System Preferences > Network for Ethernet and Advanced Button > TCP tab for Wifi) means that iChat looks like it is in two places.
    It is worse if you share the Wifi of a neighbour and use Ethernet yourself.
    Using Ethernet may get your computer to access the DNS servers from your router more consistently so that Messages can find the place to download iChat 6  (There is evidence that both downloading Messages Beta and registering the Apple ID needs the correct or adequate DNS server info to work properly)
    This address for the Message Beta download seems to hard to find for some DNS servers
    http://swdlp.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/SoftwareDownloadApp.woa/wo/XeLd6tIQQ2O yGCki8irQgw/2.5
    (This is the accompanying "Thank you for Downloading" page)
    The point you make though, that a Ethernet connection may work better, is valid.

  • I ve brought apps on the comp for my ipad and they successfully downloaded but they wont sync to the ipad, any ideas?

    I ve brought apps on the comp for my ipad and they successfully downloaded onto itunes but now they wont sync to the ipad... Any ideas? Im lost and annoyed... :/

    Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. (No data loss)
    If it comes back, try deleting a different app or two temporarily to see if it'll complete the download. Then you can delete it.

  • App works differently when connected to two very similar databases

    Hi,
    I have a simple oracle forms application that runs oracle reports. I also have two very similar datasbes one is for a test envrionment and the other is for a conversion environment. I have been connecting to the test one from the start but recently have tried connecting to the conversion environment.
    Some of the reports return blank results from the conversion environment that returned values in the test environment. when I run the queries from the reports in the conversion envronment in SQLPLUS they return the same values as the test environment. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
    Gerald

    I ran this report from the reports builder application.
    the report only gets two parameters passed to it. I ran it connecting to database one and database two for exatly the same report. Database one works fine but database two says that there is a problem with the paramaters passed to the report.
    Is it something with the system parameters and how they are getting passed to the report, is there something that I need to set up on database two regarding the reports server setup?
