Illustrator cc 2014 extremely slow

We have been using Illustrator cc with acceptable speed. But with cc 2014, the Illustrator becomes very slow. This does not happen with Photoshop cc 2014. We finally have to remove the illustrator cc 2014. Meanwhile, Photoshop cc 2014 is normal. Anyone has similar experience ? Any idea about the fix ?

Illustrator CS4 is extremely slow on my MacBook Pro

Illustrator CS4 (14.0.0) is running extremely slow on my MacBook Pro. After selecting an object nothing happens for 3 seconds, than the color wheel rotates for 3 seconds, then I can continue working. This is repeated for any new action, like select, rotate, copy, etc. The ActivityMonitor shows 100,2 % CPU usage during these seconds, all other processes are between 0 and 1,5%. All other CS4 programs are running fine.
I have no other application running at the same time, I chose "performance" over battery lifetime in the system preferences, deleted all the "Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings" in the preferences folder for a fresh start, used the Adobe CleanSwipe tool, all installed printers are on and connected, HD has lots of free space, I work only from the local HD, have only 60 fonts installed - but no improvement. Even if I have a new document with only one object in it, this goes very slow.
Then I followed one of the recommendations in this community, installed a new user account, started Illustrator from there - and the problem was completely gone, reaction time and speed as it should be!!
Something in my initial (admin-)account is causing this problem - does anyone have a clue what it could be?
Any hint would be appreciated very much.
MacBook Pro 15" Oct 2009, 2,66 Ghz, 4GB, GeForce 9400M+9600M GT, HD 500GB (7200rpm), Mac OS X 10.6.3

That are 2 very good leads, but unfortunately I already tested that: I uninstalled all fonts, so there are only system fonts left - no improvement. I also started the admin account without any start elements (pressing "shift" during boot) - no improvement. The processes (all of them) except Illustrator are all at 0%, some can reach 0,7% - only Illustrator itself is at 100,4% for these few seconds. There is no difference between the admin account and the second user account regarding the Activity Monitor.
But the solution must be somewhere in the difeerence between the two accounts - user preferences, application support files, ???

Illustrator CS4 is extremely slow, color wheel rotating all the time

Illustrator CS6 - Lagging - extremely slow!!

Has any one experinced CS6 Illustrator lagging and responding extremely slow. For example if I try to move a vector graphic it takes a few seconds before it re-freshes and updates. That goes for about everything re-sizing, moving, editing.....
I know it's not my computer. CS5 worked great. My computer is a Mac Pro running with 16GB of ram and solid state drives.
Any one have any suggestions??

Hi,
I had the same problem, and it was almost unbearable to work. Then i found this solution to run your adobe illustrator in windowed mode )
Left click adobe illustrator exe file, go to the properties, then shortcut tab, and see below Target: now you just have to paste this -w 1600 -h 900 in your target location and hit apply ok. Please set your resolution according to your LED monitor size. hope this helped.
Thanks!

Photoshop CC 2014 extremely slow after fresh intallation on MacBook Pro Late 2011, i7 8 GB RAM, Photoshop CS 5.1 performance OK

Hi there,
I just installed Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 on my MacBook Pro Late 2011 with 8 GB RAM after already having installed CS 5.1 on my MacBook.
So I have both installed at the same time.
But: CS 5.1 is much faster! The first time opening CC 2014 was really shocking, because it was so laggy and still is, and I don't know why this is.
I didn't do any weird performance settings, neither did I change anything else. I open a document in CC 2014 and it takes nearly double the time
compared to opening the same document in CS 5.1.
And with CS 5.1 running the app Memory Clean tells me that i have 1.5 GB of free memory, with CC 2014 running my memory is completely in use.
Are there any tipps/tricks/issues with having both installed at the same time? Am I missing something that is leading to that specific performance
issue?
I would be glad if someone could help me, because otherwise I have to say that upgrading to CC 2014 and buying the CC license for one year
didn't turn out to be a good thing.
Thanks!

Nothing here?
The MacBook now has 16 GB RAM, but not much change. Photoshop CS 5.1 performance is great after splitting the PSD into 3 different ones, Photoshop CC 2014 still much slower.
Does anyone experience the same problems, especially with many groups / layers / smart objects?
And is it possible to get back the money for purchasing the yearly CC license when I'm not satisfied with the product?
Thank you.

Illustrator CS4 Running Extremely Slow

We are running Illustrator CS4 (version 14.0.0) on a Mac Pro with OS 10.5.8. When we are working on files with a fair to large amount of linked, not embedded, images, the speed of Illustrator is DRAMATICALLY slower. We get the lovely beach ball with just about every move we make - switching tools, locking/unlocking layers, clicking on an element. The beach ball is there for 3 or more seconds with each move - causing the simplest of tasks to take forever. Document size doesn't seem to matter. It happens on a 350 MB file and on a 60 MB file. It does seem like the files it happens to have a fair amount of linked images placed - some have 10 links. some have up to 30 links. Has anyone run into this problem? I haven't found many complaints online, but can't imagine we are the only ones with this problem. I'm anxiously waiting for CS5 in hopes it will solve this problem. Any suggestions?
One more thing - these files that are slow in CS4, run normal in CS3. I don't notice anything being sluggish with them in CS3,

We are having the same problem. We are running Illustrator CS4 (version 14.0.0) on a Mac Pro Quad core, 6GB ram, with OS 10.5.6
We have two machines that seem to be effected and one that isn't, all are the same spec and setup. But we can't seem to narrow down what the problem is.
One work around we have found is to open the file that is sluggish. Let it load then hide the illustrator, kick the network off. then go back to illustrator. It will ask to re-link the images (which are all stored on the network), just click cancel and it will show the red question marks in the links panel. After that is done it goes back to being speedy. If we need to import another pic, just reconnect and disconnect the network as needed. Not ideal but saves having to wait 30 seconds in between each nudge or move.

Illustrator CC 2014 extremely choppy. Please help.

I just bought an iMac 5k Retina Base model with Yosemite installed. All other CC applications work like a breeze except illustrator. Illustrator is extremely choppy and almost unworkable. Can someone help me out?

Hey,
I just bought a MBP Retina 15" high-end (i7, 16GB RAM, SSD 512, GeForce GT 750M 2GB) perfectly clean install with Photoshop and Illustrator CC updated. This is terribly choppy (scrolling / navigation / zoom / unzoom), even when creating a new document. Everywhere else, the computer is a real bomb.
With Photoshop, everything is perfectly smooth. I also have a 27 "iMac non retina and no particular concern in Illustrator.
The problem appears when we enlarge the size of the artboard. By using a small artboard, it's almost fluid. More we enlarge it, the more it chop. The solid gray artboard takes all the resources.
I downloaded a demo of SwitchResX that can display resolutions other than those of the system and I put my 15" Retina in 3840x2400px non-HiDPI and Illustrator retrieve its fluidity. So HiDPI is not optimized on Illustrator. Great job Adobe.

CC 2014 Extremely slow, unusable

Here's my specs:
PC Laptop running Win 8.1
Intel i7 2GHz
8GB RAM
This computer is brand new, as in just bought today. Second app installed after a virus scanner was Dreamweaver CC 2014. I cannot use it to save my life. When I am in Code view (the main view I use) I cannot scroll a page. The scrollbar moves up and down but the code will not reflect the cursor position for up to 30 seconds. I have exited the CC app, signed out of my account, turned off sync, added exceptions to my real-time virus scanner for the DW directories...NOTHING is working. This is a static HTML file that is making a couple calls to CDN hosted javascript files and nothing else. The file is located locally, not on a network drive. Even if it was this is unacceptable. I had CS6 on my previous machine (same specs) and it ran like a dream. What is up with this version?

Hi Ryan,
Appreciate you taking the time to join for a remote session. We tested the issue on different touch-enabled hardware & could reproduce the issue using touch but not with mouse wheel.
We have logged a bug for this issue (3916384) & put it up for prioritization.
Can you re-confirm that the issue is also seen while scrolling using a mouse?
Thanks,
Subhadeep

PP CC 2014 - Extremely slow performance, weird realtime preview issues, constant crash/lockup

Hiya
Since updating to the latest version of Premiere, it has become practically unusuable - it has become incredibly slow (I'm running on a 2012 Mac Pro with 20gb RAM (16gb allocated to PP), Mavericks) and realtime playback creates errors like below screencaps... The first is a greenscreen comp of 2 presenters in front of a simple video background and the car image should just be white text title on video.
Also been experiencing regular complete system lockups while using Premiere.
Here's my system specs.
2 x 2.4Ghz 6-Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro
20GB ram
ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB graphics card
Running 6TB eSata Raid (6gbit)
100gb free on System Drive
Open to any suggestions (Have done all the usual restarts, preference repairs, software updates etc).
Thanks
Chris

Premier Pro CC 2014 Extremely slow in Rendering-No Hardware Utilization

Hi,
My name is Avinash and I am working as in-house Media production Specialist in BMC Software.
Earlier we had MacBook Pro for all post production with adobe CC. we faced so many rendering issues during last year using mac, so we decided to switchover to high End Workstation.
We procured Dell Precision Tower 7910 with Dual Intel Xeon Processors, 64GB Ram, Dual AMD Firepro W5100 GPU. Still I faced slow rendering, so called Dell Engineer to verify the hardware.
It was all ok.
So here I am trying understand where is the bug ?
I have timeline around 51mins, sony nxcam shoot. added logo and text, monitored a render time which is around 5Hours. my cpu usage 4%, 6GB Ram and GOD knows if its using GPU
but its very frustrating.
Kindly Help me sorting out the issue.
Thank You

What are you calling ..."Render"?
One renders a Sequence for preview and smooth playback of added FX etc for editing purposes (only)
One Exports a Sequence for a Display objective. Transcode
As a Media Production Specialist..you will be aware of the difference and the devil is in the detail.
GPU is used in Rendering of FX etc but not in Export. CPU and Ram to a point is the power house. Have heard anecdotaly...that anything over 16GB Ram is wasted though in PPro
Must say ..seems low usage of CPU though and 5 hours is long for 51 mins.
Generally I find my system Exports approximately at real time (sequence time or slightly better,

Illustrator CC 2014 is slow.

It works fine until I have to work with a very detailed design. Then it is impossible to work with. The system will lag and hold and lag and hold and I can't click and drag with precision. Very frustrating, I've been reading others complain about this issued but I had no resolution. I have assignments due and I can't finish them, because of this issued.
