I'm a Graphic Designer and Animator with a Mid 2012 15" MBP...Programs slowing need up grade

Hey everyoe,
I'm a Graphic Designer and Animator with a Mid 2012 15" MBP. My programs get REALLY SLOW, ToonBoom Harmony and Sometimes Illustrator, HELP! I upgraded my Ram to 16GB LONG time ago and it's made a big difference but still the stuff I make is semi complicated/detailed I can't imagine this is the strength of my MBP I refuse to accept that. WIth that said HELP ME PLZ!!! I have deadlines and I dont know what else to do! Steve Jobs my life is your hands right now man...

Maz0327,
if you boot into Safe mode, log in, and run your graphic design and animation apps, do they run just as slowly then?

    I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
    Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
    The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
    Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:

  • New to the Design and Animation

    I am looking to become a freelance Artist not for animation but Graphic Design and Illustrations. Also what are some good Software programs to render 3D animations and there price range?

    There is a reason why Illusion Mage does not appear on that Wikipedia article.
    Illusion Mage is the free (GPL) Blender 3D, 'repackaged' and sold to clueless people.
    The seller of Illusion Mage has done a good job of keyword spamming Google with articles that look like they are questioning Illusion Mage as a scam. But if you click on those articles, you see bogus glowing reviews that lead to the Illusion Mage web site. 
    Here are links to truthful information and reviews about Illusion Mage. Illusion Mage is a scam.
    3DMagix and IllusionMage, scam or open source leeches?
    Illusion Mage & 3D Magix Pro *is* a scam

    From Blender Nation
    Illusion Mage is not "used by animation studios worldwide" because animation studios would not be so stupid to purchase software that is already free.
    Terry, I would report your post to the moderators to remove as spam but the Adobe forums are ranked highly on search engines. It may have been your worst mistake to mention Illusion Mage here. You've just given yourself and Ilusion Mage some bad internet publicity.

  • What is the Best Power MAC G5 for Graphic Design and Video Edit

    I need the Best Power MAC G5 Processor CPU
    and Ram HDD Graphic card for Graphic Design and Video Edit
    and the name of the Processor
    how much the price

    Hi GabreilKnight;
    You are aware that the PowerMac G5 is no longer being produced hence if you find one it will be on the used market?
    For what you are looking at doing I would suggest that you consider a Mac Pro instead.

  • Streamlined Client Management and VDI with Configuration Manager 2012

    Hi, 
    There is an interesting blog about managing ConfigMgr 2012 Clients in a VDI environment. 
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/server-cloud/archive/2011/11/15/streamlined-client-management-and-vdi-with-configuration-manager-2012.aspx
    But I didn't find any way or description in the blog on how to prepare the client in the base image used for VDI. Do we still have to make the client unique before shutting down the base image? Or will this be done automatically? 
    Are these new attributes (IsVirtual, IsMachineChangesPersistent ...) enabled by default? 
    Thanks!
    Gr. Cédric.

    No this is handled by ConfigMgr post SP1 
    Are these new attributes (IsVirtual, IsMachineChangesPersistent ...) enabled by default? 
    For XenDesktop  -no you will need to enable them in the client settings (not sure for other virtual
    solutions)
    In the SCCM Console go to the Administration workspace; click Client Settings. Right click the Default Client Settings and choose Properties
    Choose Hardware Inventory and click Set Classes.
    Click the Add button and then click Connect. 
    Enter the computer name of a master image device that has the SCCM client installed.
    Enter root\ccmvdi as the WMI namespace and click Connect.
    Select CCM_DesktopMachine. Click Ok.

  • Should we avoid Graphical mapping and stick with Java mapping?

    After developing mappings in XI for a month, I just don't see any good reasons to use Graphical mappings over Java mappings. Maybe some experienced users here can give me some valid reasons why we should choose Graphical mappings. Here is what I think:
    Disadvantages of Graphical mappings:
    1. No way to perform automated unit testings. This is probably the biggest reason I hate it. You can do some tests manually when you work in Integration Builder. But there is no way you can write some unit testing utilities to automate the task.
    2. Complexity. Even for some simple requirements, your Graphical mappings can become complicated and hard to understand. A lot of times, I find myself staring at several dozens of graphical nodes and try to understand what it does.
    3. Impossible to reuse. This is totally against the DRY (Don't repeat yourself) principle. For example, to generate messages for JDBC adapter, it is common to have two identical fields for primary keys: one in the access node and another in the key node. If you change the mapping logic in one, you have to remember to change the other.
    Advantage with Java mappings:
    1. Fully automated unit testing. You can create JUnit tests along with your Java mapping classes and use Maven or other build tools to perform automated unit testing.
    2. Your choice of XML parsing and binding. With Java mapping, you can choose any open source framework for XML parsing and binding. For example, with XMLBeans, I can convert XML input message to a Java object, transform to another Java object and write to output message. And each Java object is generated from its corresponding XML schema.
    3. Highly reusable. We can use fundamental object-oriented designs to create highly reusable mapping components.
    4. Better version control. Since the mappings are just Java classes, we can use CVS or SVN to track code changes.
    5. Better build tools. We can fully utilize build tools like Ant and Maven to automate the build, unit tests, or even generate documents and mapping web sites.
    So do you guys agree? Maybe I am still new to XI or I am missing some important things. But at this point, I just don't see why I should use Graphical mappings. Is there anyone developing XI interfaces completely with Java mappings?
    Thanks in advance for any comments!

    Hi Suraj,
    > Since its graphical the blocks will take space, but

    > Ebven though it may appear bigger, it will take less

    Could you explain more why the graphical mapping has better performance? I thought the graphical mapping is compiled into a Java class in the runtime anyway.
    > Yes thats there, but same goes with Java mapping too
    > right (if you haven't mentioned it as constants)
    I mainly think about inheritance. If I have to build 10 interfaces and they all have some common behavior, I can create a base interface class to encapsulate the common logic. But with graphical mapping, you have to duplicate them in each interface.
    > Disadvantages of Java mapping:
    > 1. Performance
    Same as above. I just don't see why Java has worse performance. I actually think Java should have better performance. You can optimize the code anyway you want. In some cases, you have to use queue functions in graphical mapping but it's not necessary in Java.
    > 2. All might not be well versed with Java Code(though
    > everyone may know basic java) .
    I am not asking everyone to abandon graphical mapping. I am just wondering which one is better when you have skills for both.
    > 3. Lot of standard functions are available in GM
    > which you can choose, but you have to remember the
    > exact code for those in Java mapping.
    You can create functions in Java too. All you have to do is to remember the function name.

  • It's the Mac book air good for graphic design and video editing ?

    I'm into graphic design for clothing logos etc. and I'm a photographer my question is, is the Mac book air good for these things?

    ideally a 15" would be best for same, as referring to the 15" macbook Pro.
    For a photographer, which I used to be long ago, either the Air or Pro are close in form factor for travel with only one moving part, and SSD.
    The retina display in combination with the 15" would be idea as best choice for photo editing and graphic design.

  • Very New to Graphic Design and Printing

    Hi - I have recently gotten into graphic design for print...invitations, etc, and I purchased an Epson R1900 for my studio.  This is my first printer purchase and I am also very new to CS5 (self-teaching over the last 2-3 months).  So, you can only imagine my printer frustrations...first I had color management issues (still do, but much closer than before due to online research) and now I am trying to load custom paper and print from Illustrator (also using Mac with OSX 10.5.8).  I keep getting a message saying "The source selected in the printer driver is not appropriate for the paper that is loaded in the printer."  What is going on?  I can't have printer issues every time I go to print something!!!  Please help me! 

    In your Applications folder there should be an Epson Printer Utility. You need to change to the custom size there at the driver level and then again in your print dialog when printing the file.
    Many problems with Epson Printer Drivers. In my case I could never get the printer utility to show up on my Mac (even after updating drivers, resetting my printers, troubleshooting with Epson, etc). I finally gave up and started using my PC to print to this printer, so I could change to custom size and roll fed.
    Good luck.

  • Graphic Design and Adobe Products

    I am a graphic design student, graduating in about a year. I maxxed out my MBP's ram and bought my first mac in hopes that it would be a great tool for graphics. I see that photoshop and illustrator (adobe tools) are running through rosetta and haven't yet (or will be?) been ported.
    My question is this, will this machine be the right tool for graphics work? Im pretty concerned about this and really didn't think twice about it when i ordered - i figured adobe products would work flawlessly, as they always have.
    any ideas? (ie, try to make me feel somewhat better?)

    Word on the street is that Photoshop under Rosetta is useable, but a tad slow for really heavy work. Not great news, but that an application like Photoshop works acceptably on a completely different processor than what it was written for is a minor miracle. The only real way to know for sure that it will meet your needs is to give it a go.
    The good news is:
    - you made the right choice in maxing out the RAM
    - Rosetta apparently gets quicker with age due to caching
    - If the MBP sells well, Adobe is likely to bring forward a universal version of PS (send them feedback to let them know that you are interested in a universal version)
    If you do find that PS performance is not acceptable you have a few (not great) options:
    - return the MBP for a PB G4 or G5 iMac/Powermac (you will get better performance from PPC native versions of PS, but performance is not likely to be as good as the MBP when a universal version of PS is released and the MBP is likely to be a better long term investment)
    - try the new universal binary version of GIMP
    Other more experimental options to try if you get desperate:
    - try running older windows versions of PS (I think v 5 works) under Darwine
    - try running more current Windows versions on a virtual PC (only current (and messy) option is to boot into Linux and use VMWare, but I expect there will be other options before we see a universal PS: intel version of iEmulator is apparently due out shortly and I suspect that a VMWare for OSX intel won't be too far off)

  • Graphic design and CS

    Hi everyone. was wondering if anyone could help me out. I currently have photoshop elements 6 and am thinking about getting CS software. i really don't know where to start with it all. i am feeling a bit limited in elements6 and really want to get into more graphic designs. If anyone could help me out on whats the best choice for this it would be much apreciated.
    thankyou
    lou

    The term CS covers the Creative Suites which are collections of Adobe applications for different purposes – all currently at version CS4.
    The full version of Photoshop is just one of these applications, all of which have to be learned to be used properly.
    Graphic Design is a very broad term and, while one of the suites may fit your needs, it may be that Photoshop is alll you require. This costs a lot less than a whole suite.
    You need to look at the description of the suites and then tell us more precisely what you want to do in "graphic design".
    See http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/
    We can then answer better.

  • Nvidia GeoForce Go 7600 graphics driver and IQ770 with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition

    I have been having problems with my screen for several months now:  every so often, for no apparent reason, it loses some of the pixels.  I can still read the items on the screen, but the resolution is trashed.  It happens intermittently and then goes back to normal.  I have tried uninstalling the graphics driver and letting the computer go find it on a reboot.  This does not work.  I have also tried installing the original graphics driver.  This does not work either.
    If I look in the "Problem Reports" area in Control Panel, there is a graphics related error: 
    Error Message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078)  The resolution listed is to reinstall the device driver (which I've tried dozens of times without success) or to change the computer's performance settings, which also does nothing.  I still get the occasional loss of screen clarity which returns to normal all by itself.
    Is anyone else seeing this problem?  Does anyone have a resolution?
    I have tried the latest graphics driver available on the hp website, from 8-2008 as well as the originally installed version from January 2007.  The version of Windows is Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition, Service Pack 1.
    If I completely uninstall the graphics driver, and do not reload any, the screen performance is fine, but then there are other problems, such as graphics acceleration.
    Thanks for your help.

  • TS1646 Can I have an ITunes account at more than one store (ie US and UK) with the same Apple ID or do I need a second one? Thanks

    I spend time in both the US and the UK and sometimes not all apps are available in the US store which is my primary account. Can I set up a second account at the UK store with the same Apple ID?

    You'll need to set up a second account with a different Apple ID. You cannot use a single Apple ID in two different iTunes Stores at the same time.

  • Does any one else with a mid 2012 13 inch macbook pro have this problem?

    I took my computer in for repair last year having this problem and the problem has started again. I don't know why this happens because I am very carefull with my laptop and never use it on my lap. I also have a shell case on the computer and put this in a laptop sleeve. Also,  have friends that abuse their laptops and have the same model as me and they have never had this kind of issue. My software is up to date so I don't think thats a problem.
    Model: Macbook Pro 13 inch Mid 2012
    I purchased this in June 2012 and do not have apple care so if someone can tell me how much the repair for this problem will cost that would be great!

    That looks like a GPU or display problem.  Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.  The evaluation will be free regardless of warranty status.  You will be told what repair costs will be, which you may accept or decline.
    Bring the image with you just in case the MBP starts to behave it self in front of the technician.
    Ciao.

  • Upgrade graphics card macbook pro retina display mid 2012

    Can I upgrade the graphics card on my macbook pro retina display mid 2012 ?
    If I can where can I get the parts from ?
    Thank you

    The only way to do that upgrade is to convert your MacBook Pro to CASH (by selling it) and use the cash to buy a Mac more to your liking.
