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 cs6 running extremely slow on opening a file. have reset prefs and set type to none. have to force quit  most of the time.

    I'm experiencing the same trouble.  Photoshop takes 5 minutes to open then runs fine.
    I recently bought a new iMac AND updated to Adobe Master Collection CS6.  My concern is that PhotoShop now takes 5 minutes to open. The Photoshop desktop pops up immediately, but the moment you click on a tool or try to open a file (no matter the size) results in the spinning wheel for five minutes before you can do anything.  After that, Photoshop appears to work fine.
    What I’ve done:
    Ran Adobe updater
    Reset Photoshop Preferences
    Validated all fonts and removed any trouble fonts
    Ran the font test
    Set font preview size to none
    Cleared the Photoshop type cache and system cache
    Disabled Symantec Endpoint
    Tried running with the GPU processor on/off and in basic
    Tried opening Photoshop with optional third party plug-ins turned off (still took five minutes but this time I didn’t even get the Photoshop desktop view until AFTER the five minutes)
    I’m wondering since I migrated the files form my old computer (and older versions of Master Collection) did something get corrupted.

  • How come my ps CS6 runs extremely slow?

    After testing photoshop cs6, seeing how fast it worked on 3D on my pc I bought the web design and premium version. Time in between was several weeks. To my huge disappointement, the bought version runs extremely slow, mostly on 3D when I want to paint on target texture. Secondly I experiance a bug when I open my file and want to paint on targeted texture....brush shows inaccesible when wanting to paint. I do not mean greyed out, but the moment I hover over my 3d object it shows I cant paint (yes I have my layer selected;-). I have to fix this each time by changing targeted texture to some other and again switching back to the one I actually want to edit. As last thing, my OpenCL is greyed out.....maybe that causes the speed problems.....did not check with trial if it worked so not sure this is the issue=/....
    When it comes to the speed I tried several things and now even reinstalled my whole pc hoping that would solve the problem.....it did not. Both CS6 photoshop 32-and 64-bit run slow on 3D.
    I closed my trendmicro virusscanner to see if that would help....it speeded up only the start-up process but not the 3D. 3D works so slow that I have to wait 10 minutes after each move..just crazy....evenmore as it worked awesome with the trial version.
    Also changed amount of memory assigned to ps by increasing to 80% and even 100%...nothing.
    changed in graphic processors settings advanced into basic...nothing again.
    No idea what to do next besides buying a new computer....I know I do not have a super strong one but as it worked perfectly I just don't get it. My pc runs this system:
    Intel(R) Core (TM) 2CPU
    [email protected] 2.66 Ghz
    Ram 4GB
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
    GeForce8800GTX
    I have the feeling it is some conflict between an update of windows or graphic driver (I have the newest so my info tells me) and photoshop...any ideas what to do as this is extremely frustrating?
    THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP
    In case it helps this is the copied system info from photoshop:

    Installed newer graphic driver as its seemed Microsoft update had an older one installed on my pc. This one is straight from Nvidia site with 3D support. Nevertheless ps runs slow and especially 3D. 32 Bit runs tiny bit faster than 64-bit. Now my photoshop even crashes with 3D: 32 bit holds out longer then 64...last one freezes almost immediately and I can close it through task manager. After installing newer driver at least the 64 bit shows OPenCL , where 32-bit not....maybe thats normal...
    I hope anyone can help me as I even checked the system requirements on adobe and mine should be more than fine.

    Well, it must be a system-specific bug of some sort that's been introduced, because I was able to create a 4200 x 3500 image made by mapping an image of similar size to a cylinder, and the cylinder would move/rotate in real time.  Of course, I have a completely different video card and system than you do, but I'm just verifying that it's not broken everywhere.
    Rendering isn't hugely fast, but that's not unexpected with a larger image.
    Maybe being more specific would help.  Is your mesh complex?
    Is it something you'd be willing to share online or describe how to create?  I would be happy to try to match what you're doing more thoroughly to see whether I can reproduce the slowdowns.
    Beyond that, I'm not sure what to suggest...  You don't have a lot of RAM to be working on 15 megapixel images, but as you say the thing to concentrate on is that you're seeing quite different performance from the Ps CS6 beta version.

  • Why Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 are so slow on my MacBook Pro early 2011?

    First of all sorry for my english
    I recently installed Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 and they tend to lag even on just during normal work operations like zooming, opening a file, selecting a tool, browsing menus etc etc.
    Cpu, Ram and Gpu usage are normal, I mean when I use these software there's at list 85% of free Cpu, 1GB of Ram still available, and 80% of free GPU. And I got 30GB left on my hardrive which is little but I believe is enough.
    So I cannot believe this slow performance is due hardware limitations. There must be some driver issue or something else.
    Anyone knows why CS6 is so slow?
    Software version:
    Photoshop CS6 13.0.1
    Illustrator CS6 13.0.0
    My Specs:
    Os: Snow Leopard 10.6.8
    Cpu: Intel Core i7 2.3 GHz
    L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
    L3 Cache: 8 MB

    My experience is that Photoshop can demand and use prodigious amounts of memory and disk space, much more than one might expect from the size of the files being worked on. While I don't have direct experience with CS6, my daughter uses CS4 on a Macbook Air with 4 GB memory and she had 100 GB free (on a 250 GB solid state drive). CS4 is less demanding than CS6, and in fact with the SSD, it runs pretty well, even with just 4 GB memory (the solid state drive is basically like memory, in fact, in some ways). However after running Photoshop on some projects for a while, we noticed she had only 60 GB free disk space. After restarting her Mac, she had 100 GB free again. Photoshop CS4 was using up 40 GB of disk space! And this was simply editting some (multiple) photos from a digital camera. Photoshop not only has its own memory management processes, but it also pages to disk and uses disk space as "scratch space" in its own fashion. I think that it is inadvisable to run Photoshop with less than 100 GB free disk space, and that's with CS4, not even CS6. And if you don't have a solid state drive, the throughput might slow down immensely unless you have a lot of memory (I think someone else pointed this out already).
    Bottom line -- based on what I have seen with CS4, 4 GB memory is too low by at least a factor of x2 (16 GB memory would be even better), and I'd say a minimum of 100 GB free disk space is a must as well. I saw CS4 using more than 40 GB of "scratch disk space" and you are using CS6, which must use significantly more resources than CS4, and you indicate only 30 GB free space. That seems too low to me. I think other Adobe major software packages are similarly demanding, unlike any other software I have seen or used. For instance, I think you would have no trouble running MS-Office software (which is also known for using computer resources, but not anywhere as much as Adobe software).
    One thing you can do is when you notice things slowing down, not only quit all other software except for CS6, but also in the Finder, under the Go menu, enter
    /private/var
    under Go To Folder ...
    and then look in the folder called
    vm
    If you see swapfiles, add up the total space they are taking, and also the space taken by the sleepimage file. These are working to decrease the amount of free space you have and they can quickly grow to tens of GB when Photoshop and other Adobe softwares are running.
    Since it sounds like you have now upgraded your RAM, that should help, but you may find that the swapfiles and sleepimage files are taking even more disk apce faster and I think 100 GB free space is needed to avoid further slowdowns.

  • Illustrator CS6 Lagging

    I'm asking if anyone else has had the issue I have, I'm using Illustrator CS6. I want to use the 3d bevel and extrude in a preview mode like I have in CS5. The lag I get is very jerky and sometime unresponsive.
    I'm a student in a BFA program so I'm learning as I go so bare with me if I don't explain my sittuation correctly.
    My specs are;
    MB Asus Extreme lll Formula X58
    CPU intel 980X 6 core
    Memory DDR3 18 gigs
    GPU 480GTX
    I thought it might be the memory I had installed so I added 12 more gigs and the result was the same. Do I need to pick up a workstation GPU? If so what is the recommondations under $500, on a student budget.

    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!

  • 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

  • Mac Pro (Late 2013) LAG & Extremely Slow

    Hi All
    i just bought the new Mac Pro Quad Core 256GB,12 GB ram the standard one with Yosemite, and i noticed that the Mac is extremely slow, when boot up, when using lightroom5 and  when i tried to switch the WiFi off and on, the Mac hang and refuse to change the status from off to on,i restart but the monitor just lighting up but in a black, so i pressed on the ON bottom until Shut down and start it up again.
    now whats the problem!!!
    how to fix this issue!!
    regards...

    i have this problem since the unboxing, the problem that i live in kuwait and i was in USA so i bought this mac on the way back home, so when i first set it up i faced this slow and lag i thought if i recover the original system it might help!!
    and i noticed something else that the OS was the old one not Yosemite!!

  • Adobe premiere cs6 suddenly EXTREMELY slow and CPU intensive

    Hi everyone,
    I'm editing candon 5d mk III footage (h.264 files) on my late 2011 MacBook pro. Here are the specs..
    240 gig SanDisk SSD harddrive (190 gigs free)
    500 Gig (250 gigs free)
    8 gigs ram
    2.4 ghz i5 processor
    Intel HD graphics 3000 graphics card
    I'm a wedding videographer and I am currently closing my last edits of the season. I have edited 20+ 45 minute videos on Adobe Premiere CS6 and have had absolutely no issues at all. I enjoy working on premiere so much that I've been trying to get my videographer friends to give a shot and simplify their workflows.
    Upon starting my second to last edit (same process as the other 18 videos I've done this season, organizing the footage within it's respective folder, loading it into premiere with the couples' choice in music and opening 4-5 new sequences based on the events of the day) I noticed that I was having a lot of trouble importing folders into my media bin. I had to import all of the footage unorganized because loading the folders "Preperation, Ceremony, Photos, Reception" with the footage within them would cause premiere to freeze and become unrepsonsive. So, finding no solution I added all the footage in no particular fashion. Just one large unorganized group. Then, while organizing the files into bins, I noticed even the smallest move would take several minutes to complete. Because I was working directly off of my hard drive I figured these kinds of delays would eventually catch up to me, so I moved all of my files to my HDD and decided to work on them there. The project itself continued to be extremely slow and started crashing regularly (especially when applying audio effects). After a few hours, I stopped being able to play 1080p video at all. It would jam and stutter so often it become unuseable. 720p video was the next to go along with my ability to render anything in less than 30 minutes - 1 hour. At last attempt to use premiere I was getting an "Unable to compile movie - Unknown Error" message when trying to render alpha channel things (lower third titles and things of the nature), my ability to change the resolution of the playback had disappeared (Going from full, 1/2 and 1/4 did nothing, it just remained at full quality) and finally doing anything in premiere caused it to use 300% of my CPU (based off of my Activity Monitors metering).
    Does anybody have any clue as to what could be happening to my machine/program? I have a yearly subscription to adobe's creative cloud service if that helps. Oh and I've tried moving my media cache's from my HDD to my SDD with little or no results. Don't know if that helps.
    Thank you to anyone who helps in advance. What I believe to be clean installs aren't doing anything so I'm hoping somebody can give me a hand.

    Sounds to me like specific media is dragging the Mac to a halt. (300%, really Apple? Isn't that like saying that my car can go up to 90mph, but last night I drove it at 300% speed, 270mph)
    Some things to trouble shoot:
    Do you have any assets in the project that are loaded directly from strange devices, like a SD card or CD audio? Any dynamic link media that may be problematic?
    Is there anything that makes this footage different than footage from successful projects?
    Can you work successfully with an old project?
    Can you successfully start a new project using different or less media?
    Is the 500 GB drive internal or external?
    One time I was sent out at from work to troubleshoot a system that would freeze up like yours. The guy was an idiot and rude client that demanded that someone from our facility help him fix his own project. He said that he had been troubleshooting for a day, and then had convinced his organization's IT guy that he needed a way over spec new pc to run Premiere.
    His system was fine. Within 3 minutes of checking media in his project, I saw that top track of the problem sequence had a video clip that was set to a speed of .01%, and he had the clip stretched for 24hours in the sequence. His project was supposed to be a 2 minute PSA. All his issues went away after removing the idiotic Day Long slow motion clip. He complained to my boss because I had laughed at him.
    I relate that story to illustrate that it could be a weird thing with you media or fx, just as well as a hardware or software issue.
    Good Luck

  • Premeire CS6 moving Extremly Slow/Laggy

  • 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.

  • CS6 Photoshop [EXTREMELY] slow, help?

    Greetings, fellow users of the Adobe Community
    My name is Mark and currently I am studying in the Netherlands (whereas I live in) and I am following an education that revolves around Creative Suite 6, making use of programs such as Photoshop and Illustrator. I've received the official package for my education from the school (that holds a key to use the pack for one concecutive year) which I am currently using. It worked out all fine, until I had a problem with Photoshop. The most simple actions there are (such as setting up a gradient) is extremely time consuming, and I have absolutely no clue what to do. Not even the teachers at my school know what the problem(s) is/are, and of course, neither do I. I decided to wait for a couple of days and hovered over to the Adobe Community and hope, that the users have had experience, or know the solution to this problem. I have ensured you lot to send over a some pictures, so that there may be a general understanding of the problem that I have. For those with the solution of something related to the 'Scratch Disk' being full, I am certain that that is not the problem as I have enough disk space left.
    I would like to thank everyone in advance and please, let me know if you possess a solution!
    - Mark

    EDIT: I have the solution, for some utter reason it stood on Millimeters instead of Pixels, I absolutely no clue why it was in that stance. Pardon me for the inconvenience!
    Hello Curt Y,
    (Just a quick heads up, I'm a real nobhead when it comes to computer but I'll try to give up as much information as I can!)
    What version?
    By version I'm presuming what version of the OS i'm running, it's OSX Mavericks
    How much RAM?
    8 GB (2 slots)
    How much free space on drives?
    Working with only one drive, 14,39 GB free space
    How large of an image are you working with?
    The one in the image was 2560x1600, but it happens with all formats, no matter the size
    Does this happen if you have an image with more background layer with another layer?
    I don't understand this question, sorry.
    What is extension, bit mode, and is it RBG?
    .PSD,
    8bit
    RGB Color
    Hope it's useful to you

  • Photoshop CS6 running extremely slow after graphics card switch

    My old graphics card died (a evga 8800 Ultra Superclocked 756MB 384 bit), so I replaced it with a (XFX HD-455X-ZAFR Radeon HD 4550 1GB 64-bit DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 ).  I knew this was a less capable card but from reading other forums it seemed that GPU performance was not as big of an issue in Photoshop and the 4550 was a supported card by Photoshop.  However, I was previously able to batch open about 15 (ish) photos at a time to work on in Photoshop.  Now if I open more than 1 everything is VERY slow and even that 1 doesn't open as fast.  Bigger photos appear blurry (but when I zoom in they are not) many filters are slower.  Very annoying.  Nothing else has changed on my computer, just the graphics card.  Here are my specs (I know I need more RAM and have been considering an upgrade there but am not sure if I need to ditch my current video card as well)
    Asustek p5e3 motherboard
    Core 2 extreme qx9650 (quad core at 3.0 ghz)
    4 GB of DDR3 1333mhz ram
    (3) 500 GB 7200RPM hard drives
    Radeon HD 4550 1GB 64-bit DDR2
    500 Watt Power Supply

    I don't mean to be critical, but why would you upgrade to an outdated card like the 4550?  The 4000-series isn't even listed under the cards Photoshop is tested with any more.
    Tested video cards for Photoshop CC and CC 2014
    That said, a problem that can happen with a video card switch is that drivers get left in the system from the old one.
    Maybe it would be a good start in diagnosing this for you go to into the Help - System Info menu, copy the data in the whole first section, and post it here.

  • 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 ?

  • Why is InDesign CS6 loading extremely slow????

    The company I work for has bought several licensed copies of the creative suite and ever since it was installed; the machine with the following specifications that I use:
    CPU: i7-3770 @ 3.4 (4 core, 8 threads, 8mb cache)
    O/S: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Built 7601)
    RAM: 8GB DDR3
    V/C: Radeon HD 5450
    HDD: 60GB OCZ-Vertex 3 SSD (Primary)
    HDD: 1x 2TB + 1 x 1TB SATA 3 drives.
    Approximately 3 weeks ago, the machine became unresponsive due to a Photoshop CS6 64-bit issue along with Internet Explorer. At which point, I had to kill the process in the Task Manager; and ever since then, it has not been the same since.
    All 64-bit applications for Adobe Creative Suite, take so long to open; that I can go and get a cup of coffee and come back only to find that it is still bloody loading. If I load for example, Photoshop 32-bit edition, it loads almost immediately. This is good at first, however as soon as I use the drag drop feature as I always do. Especially when I need to crop a high resolution image, regardless of whether the high resolution image (8MB to 16MB) stored locally or on a server; the application takes for ever and ever to load the damn image.
    The amount of memory allocated to the application, starts at just over 125MB and then spikes up to 1.5TB; at which point still does not do any thing except sit there idling for no apparent reason.
    This morning, opening InDesign CS6, took approximately 10 minutes to open itself. My recollection last week, I had closed all files before closing the application itself. So why the hell is it taking this bloody long to do so.
    I have checked the Adobe Application Manager and everything is up to date. Microsoft Windows 7 is up to date. So what else is the problem. Could it be the services that is causing the issue?
    Answers / Solutions please?
    Thanks in advance.

    Before I deleted the fonts, I checked the time date stamp. As I also use Corel Draw X6, a program call "Bit Font Navigator" which loads third party fonts and gives a listing; where you can choose which fonts you want and they can be installed. The installation is only by shortcut, so the actual fonts themselves, are not actually sitting in the Fonts directory; unless of course you physically copy the whole thing into it which is rather stupid.
    Every time I load the system (fresh boot), there is an indicated time date stamp on the very day in which it automatically loads the fonts from an external source into the Windows Fonts directory.
    I only checked the latest dates and subsequently deleted the fonts of that particular grouping; which was 29/04/2013. I didn't touch anything else. As for Tahoma font, I checked that too. It shows the date as 11/05/2011. Just to reiterate, I only touched the fonts that had the year 2013 in them.
    After a reboot thereafter, that's when I noticed these further issues.
    Hmm..... I think it is possible I might have deleted Verdana by mistake, since the time date stamp for that is 03/04/2013. In which case might explain the circumstances I experienced.
