IND CS2  running slow of late

Hi all,
Just wanted to know if anyone had noticed if their IND CS2 was running slower of late, especially if you were running on a 2 x 2.8 Quad-Core Intel with 4GB of Memory on OS 10.5.5.
Not sure if there are solar flares out there, but my IND CS2 has been chugging today, crashed twice, and doesn't respond to force-quitting the applications. All these with restarting the machine. Short-cut to jumping to pages is exceptionally slow, and the files are not image intensive.
Running Mail, Safari, iTunes (for iPhone), Cyberduck, Suitcase Fusion, iChat, Address Book in the background...
Any ideas? Thanks.

I know... I actually run CS3 most of the time and will be upgrading to CS4 shortly. There are some jobsand clientsthat insist on CS2, and rather than down-saving constantly via INX, it's sometimes simpler to just knock out the files in CS2... CS2 was ok on the Intel, slow but ok up to a couple of days ago... it's just gone on the skitz now.

    Sounds like you may have a damaged document or perhaps a bad image that has been added. See Remove minor corruption by exporting and Adobe Community: File Crashing on Output - printing/PDF/other where you'll find some troubleshooting strategies.

  • My late 2009 iMac is running slow, particularly on Mail, more so since I upgraded to Yosemite. I have run an Etrecheck but it doesn't mean too much to me. If anyone can point me to what I need to do I'll be very grateful.

    Thanks for all the replies.
    I've now installed the ad blocker, thrown away the unwanted files, and thrown away a copy of Firefox that Adware said had a problematic extension.
    Things are better, but still slow.
    Activity Monitor shows that with just Mail, Chrome and Excel running, 2.9GB of my 4GB RAM is used. Opening InDesign (always slow) increase that to 3.2GB. But the graph stays green.
    Console shows several potential problems but I don't know if any are significant. In any case I will call my Mac store tomorrow to ask their advice about RAM.

  • My late 2008 MacBook Pro (2.53/4GB Ram) running Lion 10.7.3 seems to be running slower.  What should I do to improve performance?

    My Mac feels as if it is running slower these last couple of months.  I have thought of pursuing a commercially available "clean up" product, but thought I would try the community first and also for pointers using the Mac's own internal diagnostics or system improvement capabilities.  Any and all advice is most welcome.  I have a 250GB hard drive that is half full, I always update to latest revisions and have an extra high-speed internet connection.  Computer is not heavily loaded with apps and typically using Firefox for browsing.  (MS Office for Mac as well, but usually limited to one program such as MS Word or Excel at a time.)  No heavy graphics utilization.  Videos from the internet load slowly and some are choppy.  Even scrolling just doesn't seem "brisk".
    Thank you,
    Tom

    Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the slowdown.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
    Select the CPU tab. Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Now select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Step 2
    Launch the Console application in the same way as above, and select “kernel.log” from the file list. Post the dozen or so most recent messages in the log – the text, please, not a screenshot. If there are repeats, please post only one example of each repeated message.

  • Late 2007 MBP Running Slow

    I've been noticing lately that my MBP is running slow. It took 2 and a half minutes to load to my desktop after pressing the power button. A month ago, this computer would be to the desktop in 35-45 seconds. I have a 120gb HDD, There is still 35gbs free, so it's not like I'm using the HDD to full capacity. It is a 2.2GHz Dual Core processor with 2gbs of RAM, it shouldn't be going this slow after having it for 11 months.
    It takes about 25 seconds for firefox 3 to load up and about 45 seconds for iTunes to load. My friend was over my house and he was surprised by the sluggishness of my computer. He also has a MBP (an older version actually) and his doesn't run this slow.
    Any suggestions on how to get my computer back to speed?

    This will certainly not be any help, but I'm experiencing the same thing. I have an original MBP, 2.0GHz Core Duo, maxed out to 2GB of RAM. It's almost excruciating how slow it is. When I got it, it would boot in about 29 seconds. Right now I'm up to over 2 minutes to boot. My apps are running slower than ever, and multitasking is almost out of the question.
    My next step is to downgrade back to Tiger. That's on my list of things to do this week, so I'll try to post back at how things go.
    I'm having eerie flashbacks to my Windows days. Yikes.

  • Late 2011 macbook pro getting hot and running slow, any ideas?

    In the last week my macbook pro has been getting very hot (too hot to rest on knees) and sometimes running slow.  It will often cool down after a while but the fan seems to be running more frequently as well.  Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

      Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

  • Older MacBook Pro running slow.

    I have a 2008 MacBook Pro that has been running very slow. It didn't use to run this slow. I would like to get it running faster, so my kids can use it for homework and minecraft... I was going to completely wipe it and re-install the OS, but thought I would check to see if there is a less severe way to clean it up (also, I am having trouble locating the OS disc).
    Here are the results of an EtreCheck that I ran. Any help is appreciated!

  • Macbook running slow

    Hi,
    A few people have asked this question, my macbook is running very slow and the mouse spinning circle comes up quite a lot. I am unsure of why it is doing this.
    I have attached a copy of the EtreCheck I have done on my system.
    Can you please have a look and see if you can see if there is anything wrong, as I am unsure of what I am looking at.
    Thanks for your help

    Either update or remove the Vodafone software and see whether there's an improvement.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

  • System freezing/running slower

    I've been having some difficulties with my macbook as of late: in the past three days, chrome has frozen about 7 times and force quitting made the entire screen freeze (so all i could do was using the shut-down button). I've also noticed that the bootup is slower than usual. Generally speaking, the whole thing has been running slower and slower for a while now. i get the rainbow wheel of doom on a frequent basis. (also, my fan is quite loud and i can hear a rattling sound sometimes)
    here is what seems to have happened before everything froze:

    i've verified disk permissions, verified disk, did a hardware check (everything normal) and reset NVRAM/PRAM. I didn't even know any of these things existed until a few days ago, so if i'm honest i have no idea what i'm doing.
    (also, with disk permissions i got "Permissions differ on “System/Library/PreferencePanes/Displays.prefPane”; should be drwxr-xr-x ; they are lrwxr-xr-x "" and "
    should be drwxr-xr-x ; they are -rw-r--r-". I'm not sure whether that is important.)
    if anyone could tell me what is going on / what i could do to stop my computer from being slow/crashing, i'd be immensely thankful! (it's also a new model; from january 2012)

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Why is my macbook pro running slow.  It runs slow even if only one app is open, especially if it's a browser.  I don't know how to read Etrecheck, but was hoping someone who does can help me out.  Would be super grateful.  :-)

    Hi.  This is my first time posting.  My Macbook Pro with Os X Mavericks has been running super slow since before I installed Mavericks so I'm pretty sure it's not the OS that has the problem.  It runs slow even if only one app is open, especially if it's a browser, particulary google chrome.  If mail is open...forget about it, down to a crawl.  I don't know how to read Etrecheck, but was hoping someone who does can help me out.  Would be super grateful.  :-)
    P.S. - Also, it sounds like something is loose inside my mac.  How should I proceed?
    Thanks in advance.

  • My macbook is running slow after upgrading to yosemite

    Other's have posted similar experiences by when I ran etrecheck I didn't get a bunch of fails and yet my computer is extremely sluggish since moving from snow leopard to Yosemite.  So much so, that I'm considering going back.  Programs load slowly and switching between programs has a delayed response. Reminds me of the PC I had before I bought my macbook in 2008.
    Any ideas on what might be causing the slow down?

  • Macbook Pro 2011 - running slow after installing Yosemite

    Can anyone help me - my late 2011 Macbook Pro is running very slow since installing Yosemite.  Also my Microsoft Office for Excel is not allowing me to type into cells - I can copy and paste but not add new text.
    I have run the Etre diagnostic app (as suggested on another thread) and these are the results I get. Can anyone help - or do I have to uninstall Yosemite and how would I do this?

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
    Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
    Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Macbook Pro running slow and freezing...please help?

    Hi there everyone. I have a Macbook Pro that's a few years old and it started to experience some slowdown and freezing recently, which was even worse after installing Yosemite. It's mostly running slow on Safari but it seems that programs are freezing and taking way longer to open and close too. I'm not all that familiar with diagnosing these sorts of issues on Macs and was hopeful that someone could take a look at this for me? This is the EtreCheck report, and any help would be much appreciated! Thanks guys.

    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
    Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
    Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    When you post the log extract, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the text on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
