Illustrator CS6 on iMac with 2GB RAM

How will CS6 perform on my iMac with only 2GB RAM?  Minimum requirement is 2GB but I have
concern it will be horribly slow.  Does anyone have experience with this?

Hi inmanbs,
It would be great to have a hands-on AI CS6 from http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=illustrator&loc=en_us&promoid=DJDUV and use a free trial period of 30 days.
My experience shows that it is acceptable.
Thanks and Regards,

  • IMac 20", 2Gb Ram, 256Mb GPU

    Nooooo 4 days... harsh!
    Just bought a new 20" iMac with 2Gb Ram and the 256Mb GPU.
    Has anyone else got this configuration? How is it?
    I only use native Apps so it should be sweet!
      Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    I have the same exact setup...it is SWEET! I upgraded from a 17" G4 iMac (1.25Ghz/1GB RAM) WOW...what a difference. You are totally going to love this machine. Even if you do dabble with some non native apps, I have found all of them to run faster than they did on my old machine, so it is still way faster for me overall.

  • Performance with 2GB RAM and SSD

    I own a late 2010 MBA, 13" baseline model with 2GB RAM, w/SSD.  I am using Snow Leopard, and it runs perfectly.  I would like to upgrade to ML to sync with ipad, but a concerned with performance.  I use my MBA for word processing, emails, and internet surfing, including occasional movie downloads.  I cannot upgrade the RAM on this model.  I would therefore very much appreciate if someone who has run the latest versio of ML on this model can inform me of its performance w/2GB RAM and an SSD drive.  (I know it can run; I want to know how it runs).  Thanks very much!

    Just went through the same situation with my 2006 iMac. Technically my memory tops out at 3gigs, but I can get 4 in there if I insist (though the machine won't take full advantage).
    After a considerable amount of research, and hearing some horror stories of some folks who dove straight into Lion on older machines, I opted on upgrading memory to 3gig, backing up all my data, then running a clean install of Snow Leopard. I then reinstalled all my stuff, followed with a run of Monolingual (a shareware program that removes unnecessary languages and builds), then ran OnyX (another shareware) to run scripts and check/repair permissions.
    Works fantastic. Machine is operating perfectly on 10.6.8 and with the memory upgrade and clean drive its running faster than ever. Definite new breath of life in the machine.
    As per memory upgrade, I'd recommend going to Crucial. They're very Mac friendly, customer oriented, and reasonably priced. They have a small program you can download that scans your machine to determine the correct chip required, then brings you stright to an info and ordering page. I managed to get a 2gig chip with shipping for about $25. With the Snow Leopard upgrade total cost was under $60 for resuscitation.

  • Can my iMac g5 2gb ram intel core 2 duo 2.16 ghz processor support OSX 10.6?

    I am looking to upgrade for needs of music production. I need help to figure out if my computer iMac g5 2gb RAM and an intel core 2 duo processor 2.16ghz can handle it?

    "Mutually exclusive," meaning one can't exist at the same time as the other.  If you have an Intel Mac, you don't have a G5 iMac. A G5 is PPC (Power PC) and can't install Snow Leopard.
    But I'd max out the RAM. 2GB is bare bones and you won't go very far with that, especially if you're going to be running some memory consuming music production applications.

  • I have a macbook with 2 512 mb ram, and wanting to at least replace one with 2gb ram. Do I need to reinstall OS If I do that?

    I have a macbook with 1 gb ram, 2 rams with 512 mb. I am planning to replace one with 2gb ram. Do I need to reinstall OS if I replace one of them? Please help. Thanks.

    If you want to upgrade your RAM it;s very easy on most MacBooks with the removable battery. We'll need to know the model to further advise you. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.
    1,1 (Early 2006) can handle 2gb of 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM
    2,1 (Late 2006 & Mid 2007) can handle 3gb of 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM
    3,1 (Late 2007) can handle 4gb of 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM
    4,1 (Early 2008) can handle 6gb of 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM

  • Anyone can confirm that Lion runs as smooth as Snow Leopard with 2GB RAM?

    Hello,
    I want to install Lion on my 1st gen Air, with 2GB RAM. With Snow Leo, sometimes i have to quit Safari because of the RAM is running low.
    So i don't want to upgrade if Lion eats more RAM than Snow Leo.
    Can anyone confirm that is it worth to install Lion on a laptop with 2GB RAM?
    Thanks

    I have a late 2007 2.0GHz Macbook with 4GB of RAM. Snow Leopard ran beautifully on it ( I am a web developer and video editor ).
    I clean installed Lion last week and it is very sluggish. It'll often hang and 'spinning beach ball' when doing the simplest tasks such as trying to scroll through a web page, switch applications, open a print dialogue box, etc.
    The new UI, animations, and some of the new features of Lion are nice, but I'm considering switching back to Snow Leopard. As a power user on an "older" machine, Lion just doesn't cut it. Depending on what you use your laptop, you might have a fantastic experience with Lion. It certainly takes more video memory, so it's likely newer machines won't struggle with it at all. my concern is that the simple elements of the OS have problems running on my machine, meaning one of two things: 1) Lion is built to run well on newer machines with newer hardware or 2) Lion is built poorly. It seems more likely the former is true. in either case, if you have a "base" machine like Macbook or Mac Mini 2008 or older i'd say stick with SL. otherwise upgrade to your heart's content.

  • Have a late 2006 iMac with new Ram installed in late 2011 . I am currently running Mountain lion. Did/ hit something while half asleep and was asked for my recovery password didn't know it.Not sure what i did after that but wont boot just searches,

    I have a late 2006 iMac with new Ram installed in late 2011or early2012 . I am currently running lion. Did/ hit something while half asleep and was asked for my recovery password, I didn't know it & not sure what I did after that but it wont boot up just searches with a light grey whit -ish screen. Cant get it to clear. Any advice?

    Try to boot in Safe mode, see if you are able: Hold down shift and then power on. For wireless keyboards, hold down shift after the chime.

  • IMac 2 GHz Intel Core Duo with 2GB RAM

    The Internet is frequently very slow.  I am hard wired to the TimeWarner Motorola cable modem, but also have a new router with 5 GHz that has a Firewire port.  Would my Internet speed increase substantially by hard wiring to the router by Firewire?
    My MacBook with 4GB RAM is much faster via a wireless connection.
    Thanks very much for any ideas or comments.

    Unfortunately, connecting your iMac by Firewire directly to a router which then connects to the cable modem will Not increase the speed of your Interent connection relative to directly connecting your iMac to the cable modem.  Your iMac's network speed is at your ISP's delivered maximum directly through the cable modem.  All the router would add is the ability to share the cable modem's  output signal  among multiple connected computers. I believe you are experiencing the fact that the internal hardware (CPU, RAM, etc.) of your older iMac may be slower in processing the ISP's internet signal than your more powerful MacBook.
    Hope this helps:)

  • Illustrator CS6 - Organisation problems with printing from PDF

    Hi everybody
    I working with the Illustroartor for some times now and I get better every time, but now its appears that’s I have a organization problem with my Illustrator CS6 and maybe somebody can help me here.
    My problem: I create for example a logo and this logo I like to print on an Objekt like a Paperclip or a Lighter. I have now a print template as a PDF File (see attachement) with serveral predefined print areas. Around 100 predefined printing areas are on the PDF File and the only way to add my logo into this 100 predefined printing areas is by using the funktion “copy/past” but this takes long time and I have to adjust each single logo into the predefined printing area by hand … so this way don’t make really sense and is also very time consuming.
    My question is: Is there any way to automate this process by using e.g. the artboard funktion or some other functions?
    I would appreacte any help in this case!!!
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Nice regards
    Klaus

  • Will leopard work with the current 2.16ghz mac book with 2gb ram?

    hey just a quick question new to the whole mac thing and was just wanting to know will i be able to upgrade to leopard on my white mac book 2.16ghz with 2gb of ram and 120 gb harddrive?
    will it run smoothly?
    thanks simon

    The terms of use actually says:
    "Speculations or rumors about unannounced products."
    I would take that to mean questions and speculation about products which have been announced would be okay. Stuff like "Do you think Leopard will be able to do this or that" would seem to be okay.
    I think Apple's intent is to keep speculation and/or rumors about products which may not even exist to a minimum.
    Granted, no one, apart from developers under a NDA, have experience with Leopard... and even they don't know what the "secret" features are... but I think we're okay chatting about that stuff. They have a major OS overhaul coming in just a few months. I can't imagine they wouldn't expect people to chat about it... beyond what they have posted.

  • 2010 Macbook Air with 4GB RAM or 2011 Macbook Air with 2GB RAM

    So I am looking a the following 2 Reforebished Macbook Air models:
    Refurbished MacBook Air 1.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
    http://store.apple.com/ca/product/FC968LL/A
    Originally released July 2011
    11.6-inch (diagonal) high-resolution LED-backlit glossy widescreen display
    2GB memory
    64GB flash storage
    Thunderbolt port with support for up to 2560-by-1600 resolution
    FaceTime camera
    Intel HD Graphics 3000
    $789
    Refurbished MacBook Air 1.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    http://store.apple.com/ca/product/G0JK0LL/A
    Originally released October 2010
    11.6-inch LED-backlit glossy widescreen display
    4GB memory
    128GB flash storage
    NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics
    FaceTime camera
    $799
    So my main question is which is better, the core 2 duo with 4GB of memory and 128GB of storage, or is the intel core i5 with 2GB of memory and 64GB of storage better? There is only a $10 differnce so the price doesnèt matter to me.

    i would go with the one with more RAM and larger SSD.
    Simple reason - you can't upgrade it in the future.
    Sure the other one has a faster processor but what's the use of having a faster processor if you only have 2GB of RAM?
    The other one is newer, but again, you can't upgrade it.
    That's the reason why it's also cheaper........

  • Just bought a Macbook pro 17" 2.16 with 2gb ram and 500gb 5400 HD. IT RUNS VERY SLOW, even with fresh install of X 10.6, what do I do?

    So I just bought a great condition Macbook pro 17" with 2gb of ram, and the last owner upgraded the HD to a 500gb toshiba 5400rpm HD....the computer is VERY slow....when loading up anything it take forever, and watching video's freezes it for a few seconds then starts for a 1-3 seconds then freezes again....what can I do? I really like the laptop, but hate the performance...and I don't want to go buy another one....but I have considered a SSD....any idea's before I do that?
    Thanks.

    How much hard drive space do you have left?
    Sluggish Finder - Bunch of icons on your desktop?  An overcrowded desktop slows down your Mac.
    Get rid of needless Finder calculations - Open a window in Finder/View/Show View Options:  ensure "Calculate All Sizes" option is unchecked.
    Internet related - It's likely that your broadband connection is the bottleneck.  You can check your speed on http://www.speedtest.net to see how fast your connection is.  If your web browser specifically performs slowly, quit and relaunch it.
    If browser remains sluggish, empty its cache.
    Safari/Empty Cache
    Firefox/Preferences - select the Network tab of the Advanced preferences and click the "Clear Now" button in the "Offline Storage" area.
    Application related - Launch "Activity Monitor" - Applications/Utilities - click the CPU heading and see what float to the top.  If an application takes up a large chunk of CPU and won't let it go, it could be dragging down your Mac's performance.  Quit it by clicking the Quit Process button at the top of the Activity Monitor window.
    Too little ram - max out your ram.

  • Will Final Cut Pro X work nicely on a late 2009 13" MacBook Pro 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo with 2GB RAM?

    I want to get FCPX but I am not sure if it will be so good on this Macbook Pro... Will it work decently on it even with just 2GB RAM and a Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz and a 13" screen? I also have the lastest version of Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    Check here to see if your graphics card is supported. Core i5 is fine, 8 GB RAM is fine but more is better.
    You will need fast external drives (FW800 or TB). FCP X has a fully functioning trial version.

  • Hermes 650 system locks up with 2GB RAM, 1GB OK

    I have a Hermes 650 system that keeps locking up when system is upgraded to 2GB RAM.  System runs fine with 1GB RAM installed.  I tried 2 different brands of 1GB sticks, but same problem.

    This is a very old barebones, unfortunately memory support is described as "up to 2GB" and as 1GB sticks weren't commonplace at the time, its possible it might just not work.
    1GB should be plenty enough for what this system can handle though.
    Have you tried testing the sticks with >>Memtest86<<?
