Illustrator CS6 uses less then 1GB RAM out of 8GB.

Here are the specks:
2.93 GHz Intel Core Duo
8GB 1067 MHz RAM
Memory activity:
Right now Illustrator is using 980MB
System Memory:
Free RAM      5GB
Wired           437
Active          1.74
Inactive         877 MB
Used          3GB
Virtual Memory Size 170GB
They boast about Illustrator CS6 using more RAM then 3GB... 3 GB? Mine uses less than 1GB.
What can I do to improve this? Thanks

A script itself wouldn't use much RAM. If you were to open the Activity Monitor, set it to Active Processes and then run the script, you would likely see functions repeatedly using and releasing RAM as the script runs.
If that is what happens, then Illustrator (and the OS) are doing what they're supposed to; using more RAM as needed and releasing it when done. In which case, there's nothing else you can do to speep up the process as RAM is being allocated as needed.

Missing workspaces like Photoshop in Illustrator CS6 using a Win 7 64 bit PC

I just finished a tutorial about type effects in Illustrator CS6 by Kelby training he suggested that we set the workspace to (Like Photoshop) but this selection is not there and other selections are missing.
is there some kind of fix for this because I primarily use Photoshop and the interface would be helpful in finding my way around.

Started using TOO much data with iPhone 4. Was using less then 200mg a month now using over 500 ...?

I was using less than 200mg a month. On WiFi alot. I updates some apps (like 30) and started using 500+ per month. ATT no help.

I looked around for more answers, found that people were having issues with iCloud updating during the middle of the night using the cellular 3g not wifi. I've turned off my cellular at home so it will only use wifi, and turn it back on only when I need it. I've also turned off the backup in icloud and will see how that goes. I also was told by an ATT&T support person to download an app called Onavo Count that will keep track of which apps are using the most data. Hope this helps.

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,

Welcome dummy_office,
As you can see here , 2GB is the maximum total memory of the system that you can reach with 256MB, 512MB or 1GB sticks.

Getting error message stating lack of disc space, but have only used less than 1GB of 20GB idisc space and been publishing fine until this month

Why can't I send and email and get an answer to a problem that is clearly personal to my idisc. What is the point of paying for Apple Care when you can't contact them when they stop access to products that you have already paid for. I am travelling and I cannot contact them by phone.

Try the following:
close iWeb.
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

Using Illustrator CS6, how to preserve drawn colors when Save For Web to PNG?

Using Illustrator CS6 on Mac OSX 10.9.1:
step 1. I open a new file for Web profile.
step 2. I verify that File > Document Color Mode is RGB.
step 3. I draw a square and set it's color to 0,103,197 (decimal).
step 4. I click File > Save For Web
step 5. In the popup that opens, I set to PNG-24, and verify the option Convert To sRGB is not selected.
step 6. Using the Mac's DigitalColorMeter, I observe the color is 0,109,191 in the Save For Web popup. If I save it, then open the saved PNG file, it's color is also 0,109,191.
How to do this so the colors don't change?
step 7. I close Save For Web popup.
step 8. I verify Edit > Color Settings for Working Spaces is set to Monitor RGB, and that the Color Management Policies for RGB is off.
step 9. I verify Edit > Assign Profile is set to Don't Color Manage This Document.
step 10. I verify View > Proof Colors is off.
Can anyone provide a set of Illustrator CS6 settings that let me save a PNG image with the same colors it's drawn in so I can use that PNG image in a website?
I must be missing something obvious, because anyone working in web design must do this day in and day out, please let me know what procedure people follow to achieve this.
UPDATE:
Using the above procedure DOES preserve the colors when embedding the PNG image in a webpage viewed in Firefox and Chome, but NOT for Safari. Also, the colors are not preserved in Mac's Preview software, as well as Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac.
I'm pretty new to all this. Hoping someone can provide some perspective on what typical procedure people use for web development when working with colors in Illustrator CS6.

Illustrator CS6 download through Creative Cloud "appears corrupted" according to App Manager

I'm trying to install Illustrator CS6 through the Adobe Application Manager on Mountain Lion 10.8. All of the other apps downloaded and installed fine.
But when trying to downlaod Illustrator, it downlaods the file, and the a message appears saying "The download appears corrupted. Please Cancel, wait a few minutes and try again. (-60)". I've been trying off and on for the past week or so now.
Any tips or tricks?
Not sure if it's relevant since the other apps installed fine, but I'm currently installing to a new external SSD drive that I've booted from. I'm installing all the software I need onto it. Then once I'm done and ready, I'll swap drives.
I'm running Apple OS 10.8 on a Macbook Pro with 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo procs and 8GB of RAM. The MacBook Pro is a 17-inch early 2009 model (first unibody model).
Thanks!
Adam

Hi Adam,
Its a workaround but might be an easy solution, you might just download and install the Illustrator CS6 trial and then just license it to be part of your Creative Cloud membership using the "License This Software" option.
This document describes the process.

Satellite Pro L100 crashes when loaded with 2 x 1GB Ram

Hi,
Satellite Pro L100 - came with 512MB ram - Too slow - expanded using 2 x 1GB ram from crucial technology, speed 555MHz
When both 1GB installed, laptop crashes on the XP boot screen - then loops, crashes, loops, crashes etc...
Tried alternating the slots and using ram independantly - No change - so ruled out faulty ram
Tried shippped memory with 1 x expanded 1GB ram - All OK.
Tried every orientation conceivable - just crashes when expanded ram is loaded to its specificed max - 2GB.
Upgraded BIOS to 3.2 - no change
Does anyone here have any other suggestions? I fear my last resort is to dig deep and get more ram from a diff OEM, prefer not to hence asking politely for help
Thanks in advance,

Have you ran Memtest?
Download the bootable Memtest CD ISO from www.memtest.org and run it for a few passes.

U550 - Windows 7 - 0x000000A5 BSOD with 1Gb RAM

A friend of mine asked me to install Windows 7 on her IdeaPad U550. So I did. Everything worked at first. But after installing drivers and some software, I started getting BSODs on widows startup:
The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compliant. 0x000000A5 (0x00001000, 0x00000000, 0x55AA55AA, 0xFFFF0091)
I tried reinstalling windows 7, but windows setup fails with the same BSOD message.
Some further experimentation has brought me to the following conclusions:
1) the laptop works fine with a 1Gb memory module installed.
2) the laptop doesn't work with more then 1Gb RAM installed (U550's shipped with one 1Gb and one 2Gb modules installed)
3) the problem isn't in the installed OS (DVD booted windows setup also fails)
4) both RAM moduls are working properly (tested them on my other laptop)
5) both RAM slots are working properly (windows starts with 1Gb RAM module in either one of them)
6) there're no BIOS updates for Lenovo IdeaPad U550.
There IS however some kind of problem with the battery. There's a notification in systray recommending to replace it. Taking the battery out or placing it back in doesn't seem to make any difference in regard to BSODs.
So, my best theory at the time is this: the battery (and/or it's absence) somehow causes the ACPI-related errors. Now, that sounds kind of stupid to me, and I can't just ask my friend to buy a new battery if I'm not even sure it's gonna fix the problem. That's why I need your help, guys. Any help is appreciated.

Well I deleted the VM and re-created it, and reloaded Windows and all my software, works fine now.
Thanks for all the help.

Ram keep running at 4GB out of 8GB?

Hi my macbook keep using 4gb of ram out of 8gb even when it just start without any app running, so it normal? or something is wrong?

What does it show when you click on 'About this Mac'/ If it shows 8 GB you do not have a problem. If it shows 4 GB, one of the chips then is not recognized and you have to sort it out.
Ciao.

Print image area shifted in illustrator cs6

I'm on a Mac working in Illustrator CS6. I went to print out of the print dialog box and after I printed, I noticed that the margins are larger on one side that the other. I re-opened the print dialog box and double clicked in the area that shows the artwork prior to print, to re center the artwork in the window, and noticed that there two dotted lines in thw window. One being the artwork, and the other is the image printable area. Well when I double clicked on the dialog box to re-center the artwork in the prinatble area, the art works centers, but the printer image area is offset, or nudged upward. When I print the margins are larger on one side and not centered. Heres the million dollar question,"How do I re-center the image area for printing so when I print, the artwork is centered?" I'm not printing boarderless. Thanks for your help in advance. I will try to include a pic if needed.

Update! No update! Adobe did send me an e-mail stating that they were trying to call me. They had been trying to call the wrong number. ?????? I don't understand that. My Adobe profile has my right number. Anyway still waiting. I had to call them back again and when I did, I waited 30 min. Finally got someone. Waited for them to review the notes another 10 min total, proceeded to ask me my problem with the download???????? Thats not my problem! ADOBE C'MON! The representative told me it had to be escalated to next level. Wait a min................ the last two calls ago, they told me the issue had beed elevated as high as it could be, to the developer/engineering level. I feel I'm getting the run around! Sorry for the venting, but dont release a product if it doesn't work. Been a month total! Out of business! Shouldn't have gotten rid of my other machine with CS5. I'll keep you posted.

Illustrator CS6 File Disappeared

I was working in an Illustrator CS6 file and saved it into a folder on our server. Another user tried to open it to work on it and her Illustrator CS6 hung and then crashed. Afterwards the file was missing from the folder into which it was saved and there were two PDFs that had been created. This happened to another user and both of us had to recreate all of our work on the file. Has anyone seen this happen before and know of a solution to prevent it?

Don't write or read directly to a server from Illustrator.

Hi. I'm using illustrator cs6 on pc. I've made a scientific figure for a paper and now I'm trying to export as a png or save for microsoft office. Despite my figure being in the middle of my artboard, it always comes out bottom left in the png file or jpg

Hi. I'm using illustrator cs6 on pc. I've made a scientific figure for a paper and now I'm trying to export as a png or save for microsoft office. Despite my figure being in the middle of my artboard, it always comes out bottom left in the png file or jpg. Must be making a school boy error! Please help!

In similar cases, my solution is to "select all" then "deselect" only the artwork I want to keep and "delete". If I'm curious I may "cut" then "paste" to see what shows up in the center of the screen. it is usually some stray point. or other element out direct sight.
