IMac retina and Adobe illustrator

My Mac Pro 1.1(2.66 Ghz Dual -core Intel Xeon) is on its last legs and i'm looking to purchase a new Imac Retina. I predominately use in Illustrator and photoshop for my work.I have held off purchasing because I have heard with performance issues with the new Imac and Adobe Illustrator CS6 and CC. Has anyone else heard or experienced any issues relating to this combination?

I just received a Retina iMac and Illustrator (latest version) is completely unusable due to the poor performance. Photoshop is fine.
There is a thread on Adobe's forums about it: https://forums.adobe.com/message/6974264#6974264

    Yes, you can use the Acrobat SDK and/or the Adobe PDFLibrary for this purpose.

  • I am trying adobe Photoshop and adobe illustrator because I can't decide which one to buy so I want to try both, after I downloaded Photoshop I can not see the option "free trial" for adobe Illustrator, it is because I can only free try one at the time??

    Bryan,
    You can download both at the same time.
    But you may wish to start off with one and use it full time, then download the other later, so you get the maximum possible time with both.
    If you have trouble getting the free trial on the Adobe site, you may try here or here:

  • Macbook Pro Retina and Adobe cs6

    HI!
    I'm pretty much ready to buy a Macbook Pro Retina and buy the adobe cs cloud too. I know Photoshop is to be updated to Retina, but I've not heard anything regarding Illustrator and After Effects.
    My questiom is this: Does anyone know how non Retina compatible software, specifically cs6 or cs5 looks? I've read Engadget's review, which is very positive. However, they say non compatible programs look bad - blurry text etc.
    Had anyone managed to get one yet, and whats your view with Adobes apps?
    Everything else sounds ace (apart from the waiting times)!
    Many thanks!

    I've been reading the reviews etc, and looked at the Adobe forums, but I've not found that much main info.
    Basically from all the reviews I have read, everyone thinks it's an excellent machine, and the Retina is great. Adobe's UI in CS6 apparently looks a bit blurry, but hopefully Adobe will fix this, and it's perfectly usable anyway.
    Check out the Verge's review: http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/13/3082649/macbook-pro-review-retina-display-15-i nch
    I've decided just to go for it, and ordered a Macbook Pro Retina, 2.3ghz with the extra 16gb Ram. My usual setup at my studio at work (I'm a freelance Illustrator and animator) is hooking my current 2009 MBP to my 20" Cinema Display.
    Since I walk to work the slimmer design will be great, and if Adobe's programs are a bit dodgy on the retina display, it won't matter too much when I'm using my Cinema Display. It might make my display look old, but I'll probably upgrade that and get a 27" display in the future.
    The retina display will be a nice addition for surfing the web etc.
    Now if only Apple would release a non glassy cinema display again... Apple? : )
    I hope that helps from my point of view.

  • Brand new imac Retina and can't enter Apple Diagnostics.  Doing it wrong?

    I've had various issues with my brand new imac retina.  I've spoken with Apple Care about two of them (Finder icon issue; slow shut down) and we're working through it all trying to figure out if it's software and whether the current beta update will solve the problem when it comes out.  They've extended their 14 day exchange to 60 days for me while we sort it out.
    All said, one thing they suggested was to run the Apple Diagnostics by holding down D upon booting.  I've tried running this, it comes to a screen wanting me to pick the language, and nothing happens.  It's like it doesn't do anything upon picking the language, just sits there. 
    The Sr. Tech I was talking with just said "that's strange" but with other things we were discussing he went about focusing on the other things.
    I may try yet another separate call to discuss this with them but I thought I'd check here to see if anyone has encountered/solved this issue, see if I'm going about it the wrong way.
    I'm holding down D and I'm connected by ethernet.  This is the new imac retina 5k, 2014.
    Thanks.

    That's might nice of Apple.  Personally, I would not be sorting anything out on a brand new Mac.  I would be demanding a brand new replacement.  One that is suppose to work rigiht out the  box.

  • Indesign and Adobe Illustrator files?

    I have  double sided leaflet Ai file which I have created. I will be sending it for professional printing (3500 copies). There needs to be some tweaking that only Indesign can do. The question is what is the best way to get my Ai two artboard file into Indesign?

    It's really not clear whether you understand your situation.
    Ok I need to save AI docoumet as PDF and use InDesign Place command.
    Or, you could just place the AI file, but in either case, when you do that, you'll essentially have a picture of your Illustrator layout on your InDesign page.
    AI doesn't support wrap text for Photos but InDesign does. That was what I wanted to tweak!
    If you've already set all the type in Illustrator, you won't be able to re-flow it in InDesign. You can't Place a completed layout from Illustrator, then edit it in InDesign. To use any of inDesign's features, you'd have to rebuild the layout on the InDesign page; placing the images and/or vector graphics as discreet elements, and then setting the type in a separate operation.

  • Printing out of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and CS4 Illustrator

    Hi,  I'm working on a MacBook Pro,  version 10.6.7 Mac OS X, I just hooked  up the HP Photosmart Premiere  C310 Series printer.  It's hooked up via  USB, and will print from all  applications except Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and Adobe Illustrator - CS4.
    For Acrobat:   When I try to print a PDF, I get the message "The document could not  be  printed." followed by "There were no pages selected to print."
    For Illustrator:   In the Print window, under Printer, I can either select Adobe   Postscript File and save, or, select my printer where the preview is  unavailable, it grays out all  options and I can't select anything. OR,  if I select my printer where the preview is unavailable, I get the error  message "Can't print the illustration. The Color Management settings  are inconsistent."
    These  are the only two applications  I'm having trouble with, and since the  printer is sold at Apple.com,  I'm hoping someone else has come across  these issues.  Please help!
    Thanks.

    You may want to ask in the Acrobat or Illustrator forums. This one is for the free Reader application.

  • Performance problems with Photoshop CC 2014 in combination with the imac retina 5k

    Hello,
    I've been using the new imac retina, and i have enormous problems with the performance of Photoshop. If i for example use the selective color correction, this does not run smoothly. Other functions also work delayed. I noticed if i do not use Photoshop in full screen mode,  everything goes back to normal. A friend used the predecessor model imac without 5k resolution, but has no problems. I suspect Photoshop has problems with the resolution of 5k.
    Anyone here who has the same problem?
    Specs:
    4GHz Intel Core i7
    24 GB RAM
    AMD Radeon R9 2048MB
    Photoshop CC 2014.2.2
    Thanks for help
    greetings Manuel

    I hope Adobe fixed this problems with the next updates! With this terrible performance i cannot work. I actually just bought the new iMac Retina, because my old model was too slow... and now the Photoshop Performance is slower than on my old iMac. I have read that other users who have also a 5k iMac, report on same problems.  So i hope that a update or a solution for this problems come very quickly!
