InDesign 5.5 running very slowly on a new mac with 24GB RAM????
Clean install everything new, everything updated and we're getting spinning wheel and lag on a document that older computers with a fraction of this power aren't having a problem with at all. (These problems persist with other documents of various sizes and complexity.)
specs 2x2.4ghz quad-core intel xeon
24GB 1066mhz RAM
solid state drive for programs
7200RPM drive for files
Tracy, all your replies to go the same place. No real point in 4 replies, just post one with all the info -- we all see them.
Too much RAM... Is there such a thing?
Well, there was a smiley-face for a reason. While I would be lying if I said there was never a bug or a problem from having too much RAM, such problems are extremely rare in modern systems, and you should look pretty much everywhere else for the cause, first. For one thing, your not-the-right-item process listing shows:
PID Process Name User CPU Real Mem Virtual Mem
1256 InDesign TheBeast 2.3 1.34 GB 2.33 GB
InDesign is only using 1.4 GB of your RAM, though the InDesign process thinks it might be using 2.4 GB of RAM.
One thing it does mean is that your OS X kernel is running in 64-bit mode (well, with 64-bit addressing), which need not have been the case if your machine had less than 4GB of RAM. But there are plenty of people who have InDesign running on such powerful machines. Maybe the problem is your Beast? Again, just kidding.
By the way, you mentioned CS5 in an earlier post. I hope you're aware that CS5.5 files are not backwards-compatible to CS5. If you wish to do work in CS5.5 and open it in CS5, you're going to have some issues. The workaround is to Export the CS5.5 file as IDML, which CS5 can then read. This isn't really a favored workflow, though. Hopefully you don't plan on doing very much movement between CS5 and CS5.5...

My older mac book pro and iMac are both running 10.6.8 and both have started running safari and email VERY slowly. My new mac book pro running 10.9 is having no issues. Is anyone else experiencing these issues?
No noticeable speed differences running the four latest OSs on my machine.

The iOS simulator runs very slow on my new Mac mini. Any ideas on how to speed it up?
I am trying to demonstrate a new iPhone app using the Mac mini and the iOS Simulator software. It runs, but it runs very slowly -- not acceptable for a presentation. Any ideas so I can make it run faster?

InDesign CC (2014) running very slowly
InDesign CC (2014) is running too slowly to use - it just crawls, with many seconds between a click and the response.
It is up to date and was running fine until yesterday afternoon. I can think of no reason for the sudden degradation. I'm running Windows 7. I have renamed the preference files and I have uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign, to no effect. Any thoughts welcome.I have renamed both Adobe folders and copied across the fresh folders from the second user account. I had to boot into Safe mode to do so, as processes were locking both folders.
However, despite that surgery, InDesign is still freezing after it starts. It appears to start normally and fires up quickly, but then immediately freezes. So if you have any other ideas, I'd be grateful to hear them. -
Browsers running very slowly on G5 Power Mac
I have a G5 PowerMac MDD tower with 6MB RAM running Mac OS 10.4.11 (I cannot move up to 10.5 or 10.6 because of my need to use legacy software that requires the Classic environment). I also have a MacBook Air (MBA) running 10.6.4. The G5 is connected to my home Ethernet network by Cat5 Ethernet cable, the MBA via Airport. Recently my G5 has slowed down tremendously when accessing the internet using both Safari and Firefox (even with all other applications closed), while my MBA browses very fast (I have a fast broadband connection). Both computers go through the same router to access the Internet.
I have tried restarting the G5, throwing out the existing versions of Safari and Firefox and downloading the latest versions, but the G5's access to the Web remains painfully slow. I would appreciate any suggestions.I think you should get Applejack...

After installing, Reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
At least if it doesn't fix it, it'll eliminate a few questions.
Then try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers for the Interface you're using...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply. These are safer/faster than most ISP's DNS numbers, and have been patched against DNS poisoning.

Runs VERY slowly--pages change very slowly
Chrome will run fast.
Oh, sorry! Here are the infos to my computer system:
I work with the latest version of Indesign 2014.0.
My document is about 107MB and it is full of PDFs/JPGs/PSDs and other
Links. But i don't think, that it's because of that. Because sometimes it works
fine. And then, all of a sudden, InDesign runs very slowly... -

Mac is running very slowly.
Hi Apple Community,
My mac has been running very slowly, and there has been several other problems as well. I have a early 2009 iMac, running OS X 10.9.5. First of all, I have recently moved all of my photos and music to an external hard drive to clear up the internal hard drive, and Time Machine is also backing up to an external hard drive, and the internal hard drive is now about 60% free. I thought that would be able to get my Mac to run quicker, but it is still has slow as it was before. I have read recent community posts on what to do about this, one suggested downloading Etresoft to get a report on the condition of my mac. I ran Etresoft (I honestly don't know what to make of anything in the report), and the report is here:
Problem description:
Mac runs very slowly, applications will take longer than usual to open. Internal hard drive is about 60% full, and 3 external hard drives are used to hold photos, music, and backups.
EtreCheck version: 2.1.5 (108)

So if someone could please explain what this means, or suggest some other ways to find out what is wrong with my Mac, it would be extremely helpful.
Thanks
MorganYou need to uninstall all Norton Antivirus softwarwe/ utilities.
https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/kb20080427024142EN_En dUserProfile_en_us
Also, uninstall all Seagate hard drive software.
In addition, you need to install more RAM into your iMac.
Your year and model IMac can take a max. total of 8 GBs of RAM.
I strongly recommend that you purchase and install the maximum amount of RAM.
Correct, compatible and reliable Mac RAM can ONLY be purchased from online RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com). -
My MacBook Pro is running very slowly! Please help!
Hi all, as of late last year my MacBook Pro started running very slowly. As I'm a novice when it comes to computers I thought I'd turn to the interweb for solutions. I've tried a couple of basic things but don't seem to be getting anywhere.I ran the EtreCheck program as it seemed to help others. Would love some help interpreting this...

Thanks in advance! MikePlease read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. It will be slow, but there should be no beachballing. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2. -

I have an iMac 5.1 which is running OSx10.5.8 - it runs very slowly and I can't find if there is a particular problem. In the process, I have tried to install 10.6 [I have a new iMac] and the 5.1 won't accept the install discs.
As you have discovered... you cannot use the install discs from another Mac...

FCPX hangs on loading event in boot up, but when it does boot it runs very slowly.
I'm having a problem with FCP 10.0.9
When I try to open the program it gets hung up on the opening logo at loading event. I get a message that FCP is not responding in the force quit menu, but after around 6 hours FCPX opens up, but runs very slowly. I can see all of my projects and everything appears to be intact.
I'd like for FCPX to run smoothly again so I am looking for advice on how to fix it.
Here is some pertinent information.
I'm working on an 2.93 GHz intel core 7 iMac / 16GB memory / ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 MB / OS 10.7.5
Everything is on an external 12tb Raid drive that has 5.7 TB free and is connected via Firewire 800.
The footage has been going into FCP is Arri Alexa footage that has been transcoded using Devinci resolve and proxies were created for all the footage within fcp.
My event folder is around 600 gb and the transcoded footage that has been imported into FCP is around 6TB
I've been working for about 3 weeks and have everything broken into 4 projects within one event and everything was working smoothly until yesterday.
I have no compound clips, but all of my imported footage has been synced, multicam-ed and organized by keyword collections.
I've tried loading the even backup to no avail (and foolishly I did not have backups stored anywhere else)
I've tried trashing preferences.
I've tried reinstalling the program.
I've tried hiding events and projects with Event Manager X.
I've tried running diagnostics using the digital rebellion pro maintenance tools Corrupt Clip Finder, Project repair, and Quick Fix but everything came back clean.
One person at Apple technical support suggested I move the footage out of my event folder In pieces to see if there was a corrupt clip. First I removed the proxies and then the original media and then everything else (including all render data) until the only thing in the even folder was the event itself, but still FCP hung up on boot up.
Another apple technical support person suggested I should have optimized my media (which I did not do) but after getting FCP to boot up I let it optimize all my media overnight and this has not had any significant effect.
My console displays lots of error messages end with "Too many SQL Variables"
Another error message I am getting in console is:
Class CMIOGraphService is implemented in both /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreMediaIO.framework/Versions/A/CoreMediaIO and /Applications/Final Cut Pro.app/Contents/Frameworks/CoreMediaLion/CoreMediaIO.framework/Versions/Curren t/CoreMediaIO. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.
When I hide the event but keep the projects in their proper place FCP boots up quickly and my projects are all there but none of the footage appears since it is all within my event.
One thing I am reluctant to try but may end up doing if I cannot find the correct answer from this internet community is Export and XML and use Xto7 to try to open it up in FCP7 and finish the project there. This feels like something that is going to cause me problems down the road, but I'm unsure.
As is almost always the case, I'm under an impossibly tight deadline so any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
BrodyQuite the same problem here: FCP X (10.0.9) crashed while quitting, now it's always hanging up (opening logo freezes while displaying "loading .... event"). The Console says: "SQLite error code:1, 'too many SQL variables'".
The difference maybe is that my event isn't that big. 350 GB, including the original and transcoded media. The fcpevent file itself is about 340 MB. Unfortunately (my fault!) I didn't backup any of the .fcpevent files.
Is there any possibility to repair the .fcpevent file? I tested the repair tool by digital rebellion, but still no success. Are there any other ideas?
Thanks!
