InDesign CC 2014 Really Slow and Buggy?
Is anybody else having issues with InDesign CC 2014 running incredibly slow? I replaced my preferences file but it is still running poorly. The beach ball from hell keeps showing up every few seconds for a split second and the drop downs on the top toolbar won't stay on. Help!
Robyn, I went back to my previous version which is fine. Luckily I only worked on one job with this version. My feeling is that it is something with the cloud. It also seems to jump out of being the main screen every time I do any mouse movement. I have a feeling we aren;t the only two. Let me know if you get an answer and I will do so as well. Phoning Adobe? Thanks for the laugh.

InDesign CC 2014 very slow performance when dragging images and changing text
InDesign CC 2014 very slow performance when dragging images and changing text.
Running on 2010 Macpro 2.4GHz. 8GB RAM. Any solutions? I've read through many forums on this and tried several fixes.Have exact same issue on my Windows 7 machine. Resetting preferences is a workaround.
So I start InDesign whilst holding down these keys.
Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Windows) or Cmd + Ctrl + Opt + Shift (Mac)
Whilst inDesign is usable again with this fix- I have to do it every time so it trashes all my preferences so NOT GOOD long term fix. Otherwise InDesign freezes and can only be stopped by forcing a quit.
I have manually deleted the preference files and I have created a brand new admin account - but still no luck - will be onto support tomorrow -
Photoshop Elements 12 runs really slow and is almost unusable.
Photoshop (and Premiere) Elements 12 runs really slow and is almost unusable.
All other high end software works perfectly including 3D rendering software.
27" iMac mid 2011.
16gb of RAM.
Over 100gb free hdd space.
Radeon HD card 2GB.
3.4 GHz Intel Core i7.
I have tested on tiny low quality images as well.
I bought this with the bundled Premiere Elements which is also unusable even with the smallest and lowest quality video file.
iMovie works fine as does other video editing software. I ONLY have an issue with Photoshop and Premiere Elements 12.
Mavericks 10.9.3
Elements 12.1After the latest update, Firefox is much better. Using it again.

My ipad is running really slow, and it will not let me connect to iTunes or App Store, but have another iPad in house which is working fine I,please help
Try a hard reset by pressing the Home button and Wake / Sleep button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.
This does not lose any data on your iPad. -
Mac Os 10.7.4 too slow and buggy
Mac Os 10.7.4 too slow and buggy,
its random sometimes fine but mostly slow buggy, maybe the mac os needs a scan buit in to show whats responsible for slow speed.
like will it result answer conflict with 2 apps running or the mac os its self that sort of inbuilt mac os app is due for us users to enjoy and know
whats the real problem. like a light in the dark we need more tools in the mac os like whats running now in back ground and foreground and what
resources performance/strain is incurred. also is slow due to back ground anti virus work load strain on cpu and ram we need a mac app in built that
informs us who why and what, how and where then recommend the solution. like quit that app or upgrade ram so on.
or the app conflicts with safari example thus slow performance.
anyone else agree? anyone else know a mac app that will do ther above?

Hello, Ian. You will find the information requested above in the Mac Utility called "Activity Monitor" There, you can find what processes you have actively running, how much of your CPU they are taking, and how much RAM they are using. You can also check to see whether your RAM is sufficient by selecting "system memory" in the Activity Monitor. If you are getting lots of "page outs," this means that you are using your hard drive for "virtual" memory and should consider adding RAM.
With regard to antivirus work load strain, I cannot comment on that--I use only the Mac OS and do not have antivirus installed. However, if you search in Discussions you can find recommendations.
I hope this helps. Take care. -

IPad 2 and iPad Mini Slow and Buggy after iOS8 "Fix"
After living with an EXCEPTIONALLY slow and buggy iPad Mini (1st gen, still available from Apple Store, BTW) since iOS8 was released, I discovered something...
Deleting the Facebook App and the Facebook Messenger App - AND THEN REBOOTING THE iPAD - makes a DRAMATIC difference in performance of the entire iPad...
Once deleted and rebooted, you'll be able to:
1. Cut, copy and paste work again
2. Say goodbye to those long periods waiting for apps to load, crash and reload
3. Run faster and much more reliably
I have NO idea why FB and iOS 8 on older devices is a problem at the system level, but I have found that it DEFINITELY is. All it takes is running FB once on a freshly booted iPad and the problems begin.
I deleted those after trying every fix every person on the discussion board suggested (settings, resetting networks, etc) and it's been several days of an iPad running the way it did under iOS7.
SO...don't shoot the messenger. While this isn't a permanent 'fix', it DOES fix the iPad/iOS8 problems except for the fact that you'll need to use FB from Safari or a browser until they sort it out.
Again, these are my findings. I'd love to see if others experience the same thing... If this doesn't work for you, you can always reinstall FB.
BobI too am having a similar issue though most of it is with browsing on Safari. That is the load speed of pages became 1990s dailup slow. I believe it has to do with memory, or lack thereof. Something in iOS8 is chugging the system and slowing everything down. I don't know of any solutions. Very frustrating.

I have iPhone 4 and phone lately unresponsive, you press application and takes a vile to open and typing is really slow and logy. Any ideas how to fix it?

io6 update lost Youtube in my iPad and is really slow and Facebook is slow and don't what to upload photo the iPad is slow to.
Youtube is no longer integrated with iOS. You can download the app fromt he app store.. it's designed for iPhone... but states that it works with iPad.
As for running slow... trying holding down the power and home button at the same time for 10 seconds to do a hard reset.
Also.. if you double tap your home button it will bring up a small window across the bottom of your screen... this is called the multitasker.
Hold your finger one of the apps til they jiggle... then tap the red minus button to kill the app. If you kill them all this should help your ipad run alot faster.
Good luck -

My Satellite is really slow and takes about 10 minutes to logon
Hi,
My satellite notebook is really slow and takes about 10 minutes to logon. It also takes quite some time to open up applications especially the internet. Once the internet is open, it takes quite some time to access the net. The application actually drags across the scene and it looks like a closing curtain in extra slow motion.
Help needed.
Regards
RussHi
Did you check the CPU usage rate?
Start the task manager and check if any strange background processes needs the full CPU performance.
I would also recommend checking the notebook for some viruses and malware. Such programs could make the notebook and OS sluggish.
On the other hand the notebook hardware could malfunction.
You should check the memory using the Memtest86 program. Its freeware. Check the HDD for bad sectors and try also to defragment the HDD! -
My ipad 2 is really slow and it wont open app store or safari
my ipad 2 is really slow and it wont open app store or safari but i dont understand why?
Or a reset of the iPad?
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. -
MacBook Pro being really slow and vert little free RAM.
Hi,
Just recently my MacBook Pro has been running really slowly when navigating between applications and tabs in safari. I checked to see how much RAM was free and it said only 30MB. I have no more apps open or things running than I normally do. This Mac is 6 months old but my old mac that was nearly 3 years old tended to run quicker, and as mentioned, I have no more apps running than I previously had. Maybe Word, Excel, iTunes and Safari. Can anyone help explain what might be making it slow and what might be hogging all the RAM?
Thanks
MattI ran the Etrereport and this is what i got back.
