InDesign CC 2014 very slow performance, almost unusable.

Hello All,
Running InDesign CC 2014 on Mid 2010 Mac Pro, 2.4GHz, 36GB RAM, OSX 10.9.4.
When moving an image or text box InDesign hangs and beach ball spins. I've removed preferences, cleaned Mac cache and ran Onyx. Still slow with InDesign. Other CC apps work fine.
I have the same Apps and set up on 4 other MacPros with no issues.
Does anyone have a solution or a work round?
Thanks

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

  • E50 very slow performance

    my E50 is giving very slow performance anyway to tune it up ?? dosn't hangs but its slow ?? any solution ps whats the best antivirus to install in E50 ?

    I don't use your same workflow, and I assume you're shooting RAW. However,  after I have built 1:1 previews in LR (which takes a LONG time), when I click on a file to decide if it's sharp or not, it still takes 5-10 seconds for each file to load. And my computer isn't slow, and I have the same issue on my laptop, which is new and fast. I haven't seen a satisfactory answer to this problem, nor much acknowledgement from Adobe. My files are from a Nikon D7100 with 24 megapixels, so the file size is likely a factor.
    If you are shooting the type of subjects where you use 1:1 previews primarily to determine sharpness, you could consider Photo Mechanic (unfortunately it costs $150) as the first step in your workflow. It uses the embedded jpg files in the RAW file, so it loads 1:1 jpg previews almost instantly. Sports and nature photographers use this product all the time, mostly to delete losers.

  • Acrobat very Slow performance (50% CPU usage)

    My acrobat 9 PRO (9.3.2) has suddently started to use 50% of my CPU usage everytime a *.pdf document is opened.
    It is the task Acrobat.exe which is the problem. This results in VERY slow performance and I cannot use the review function without adobe is crashing!
    This has not always been a problem!
    Does anyone know why this is happening?
    I have tried to uninstall and reinstall acrobat, without any luck!
    Thanks
    Peder

    You probably have the same problem as I do. I use version 9.3.3 on a fairly powerful machine with Windows vista. In my case, the problem is related to the weblink.api (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/675941?tstart=0). I also uninstalled, reinstalled, repaired - nothing helps.

    now waiting to see if stopping the syncing helps - though computer is now working a bit better, the info on Activity Monitor would indicate it is not a real improvement

  • Formatted Search with DI  leads to a very slow performance - HELP....

    Hello There
    I have defined some formatted search in OPCH - everything is working fine.
    I have added some logic to this form via the DI.(handlling 1 item press_event), and I get a very very slow performance - the ADDON-EXE jumps TO 230MEGA of memory, and entering values to each row in the tables/item in the form takes about 15 seconds.
    Any suggestions?
    RGDS
    HAGAI

    Hi Hagai,
    Normally an addon written using the DI would take up 60-80MBs.
    Are you filtering out all events except for the item press event for the form? If you are not filtering events then this can have quite a drastic affect on performance.
    What logic have you got behind the press event? If the addon exe is ballooning out to 230MB then it suggests that there is either a problem with a memory leak or that an error is occuring in the code. I would recommend putting try/catch clauses at suitable places in the code and maybe specifically setting objects to null and calling the .NET garbage collector to try and minimise the potential for memory leaks.
    Are you sure that it is the combination of the formatted search and the addon that is causing the problem, i.e. if you take away the formatted search but leave the addon do you still get poor performance or does everything speed up?
    Hope this helps,
    Owen

      The culprit is the select inside the loop.

    for all entries in it_detail

    read table it_adrc with key addrnumber = wa_detail-adrnr.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
    move fiedls of it_adrc into wa_detail.

  • Very slow performance in Lightroom 3??

    I just upgraded to Lightroom  3.0 and I am very suprised how slow it is!?!  I don't have a very large library and I'm on two reasonably new computers yet the difference from Lightroom 2 (snappy performance) to Lightroom 3 (VERY sluggish) is quite suprising..
    I'm using it on a XP and a Vista system with the same results...
    Is anyone else experiencing this???
    Thanks,
    Ken

    I've noticed a slow down in performance with Lightroom 3 as well. As far a looking around the forum for older threads, ...found older lightroom 1 and 2 threads.
    Your Title "Very Slow Performance in Lightroom 3??" fits what I'm looking for just perfectly.

  • Very, very slow performance

    Lightroom's performance on my computer has become, at times, intolerably slow.  After rebooting my iMac and not opening any other programs or browsers, it just took about eight minutes to import 23 files, and a few more minutes to build 1:1 previews.  When things are running fine this might take one minute.  (I always build 1:1 previews on import and this happens with recently imported files as well as older ones, so it's not a question of having to build previews on the fly.)  I've had extremely slow performance ("Loading") just moving from one photo to another in the Library and Develop modules or moving from one module to another, typically up to about 90 seconds, or when LR is "preparing the file" for export or edit in PS.  But not always -- sometimes it's quite zippy -- and there's no pattern that I can see.  Generally when this is occurring, memory "pressure" and CPU usage are normal, but it happens when usage is minimal as well.  Occasionally there is a spinning beach ball but not usually. 
    My catalog has about 30k photos and very few presets of any kind.  Probably 75% of these files have never been edited at all.  I don't make hundreds of local adjustment, rarely more than ten in one image.  I have about 40 Smart Collections with an average of several hundred images each.  I rarely use Smart Previews.  I optimize and back up the catalog every time I exit LR, which is a few times a week.  My file/folder structure is simple and clean:  /Pictures/year/day.
    I'm running LR 5.4 on a mid-2011 iMac, 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7, with 16GB of memory.  I have the Lightroom catalog and previews on the main drive, which is a 250GB SSD with about 100GB free.  (Problem happened when my catalog was on different internal drive, too.)  My pictures folder is on an internal drive with over 100GB available.  I have the maximum cache size set to 50GB.  I'm running Mavericks but it was just as slow under Mountain Lion.  It was just as slow in earlier versions of Lightroom, major and minor.  Other programs/apps run just fine on my computer, including Photoshop.  (Generally, LR's performance is the same whether or not PS is running.)  The only performance issue I've noticed since switching to Mavericks is that Finder stalls for several seconds every once in a while.
    I've seen this Lightroom problem referred to on various forums, including Adobe forums, for a long time now -- years -- and I've never seen a definitive fix.  I think I've answered all of the questions that are usually asked.  Is there any solution to this?  I use LR 30-40 hours per week.  I'm tearing my hair out and the option of moving to another program would be the very last resort, but I might have to do that. 

    I don't use your same workflow, and I assume you're shooting RAW. However,  after I have built 1:1 previews in LR (which takes a LONG time), when I click on a file to decide if it's sharp or not, it still takes 5-10 seconds for each file to load. And my computer isn't slow, and I have the same issue on my laptop, which is new and fast. I haven't seen a satisfactory answer to this problem, nor much acknowledgement from Adobe. My files are from a Nikon D7100 with 24 megapixels, so the file size is likely a factor.
    If you are shooting the type of subjects where you use 1:1 previews primarily to determine sharpness, you could consider Photo Mechanic (unfortunately it costs $150) as the first step in your workflow. It uses the embedded jpg files in the RAW file, so it loads 1:1 jpg previews almost instantly. Sports and nature photographers use this product all the time, mostly to delete losers.

  • Premiere CC 2014.1 slows to be unusable on large projects

    I have a project that is a feature length documentary, running about 1 hour 20 minutes. When I upgraded to CC 2014.1, the editor became unusably slow. Selecting anything on the timeline will get 2-3 seconds of the beach ball before it shows up as selected, any attempt to change anything takes 2-3 seconds at least. Type in a value and the keystrokes will not appear until after you type them sometimes 5-8 seconds with the beachball sowing up in between. The editor as such is unusable and not acceptable. My machine is plenty fast, accessing everything though a Thunderbolt drive and it was working sufficiently when I was using the previous version, which I can no longer go back to after upgrading the project. Anyone else seeing this or have a solution idea?
    Running OS X Yosemite on iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011), 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 24 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB

    Kevin, it is also never wise to not deliver a project to a client because the bugs in the existing editor version prevent you from doing so, especially when the upgrade/update version of the application solves those problems. Staying with 8.0.1 was not an option.
    That is one of the rare reasons that you might want to explore updating your project file. However, I would do so carefully with my backups intact.

    No I can not return to 8.0.1 to finish my project because 8.0.1 is incapable of working with major bugs in rendering and editing. The good news is that the bug that was in 8.0.1 was fixed in the newest release. The bad news is now there are NEW bugs that also prevent me from delivering my project.
    That's terrible. Feel free to start your own thread and I can try to help. Also, please file a case with support: Contact Customer Care

  • PS CC 2014 very slow to load and operate after 2014.2 update

    I updated my Photoshop CC 2014 64bit today.  It was working perfectly up to the update.  Since the update, PSCC 2014 has been very, very slow to load and slow in use.  I have uninstalled PS used the PS Cleaner and reinstalled through CC Desktop.  The speed problem remains.  Interestingly, 3D is the Menu feature that seems to take the longest to load.  In other words, the program eventually loads, but 3D appears 6 or 7 seconds later.  I don't know if this is significant.  The setup was working fine up to the update.
    Grateful for any ideas about what may be the problem and what I can do about it.
    My system is a 3770K, with 32Gb ram, x4 SSDs one dedicated to OS and programs and the others to data, and an Asus GTX660 (2Gb) graphics card.  I am using the latest driver from the Nvidia site.  OS is Windows 7 64bit.
    I am getting no error messages - just great sluggishness.
    Thanks.

    Sorry for the delay in responding.  I had to get some sleep.
    Changing "sniffer" made no difference I'm afraid.  I have put it back to "sniffer.exe" having tried reopening with "~sniffer" twice with no success.
    Resources.  The maximum cpu resource used during the period from clicking the desktop icon to the menus in the program becoming usable is 23%.
    At the end of the splash screen when "initializing panels" is briefly on the splash screen, the line for the resource meter for the cpu went red and said "not responding" - the red disappeared once the workspace was active:
    Do you need anything more?

  • Fonction HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION very slow performance in bacth job

    Hi all experts!
    Does any one having a problem with slow performance while using the fonction HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION and running in batch mode for a big population of data ?
    I have tried to use          
        nocommit         = 'X' as parameter in the fonction HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION
    and calling after each update.
        CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
          EXPORTING
            wait = 'X'.
    And the performance is very long.
    I also remarque that if we run for a small population like less than 500 employees then it finish within 20 mins. But If I ran for a polulation of 5000 employees then it take more than 6 hours = 3600 mins. ?
    Thanks for your answer.
    Hugo Nguyen

    Call Function module 'HR_PSBUFFER_INITIALIZE' After each call to HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION.
    Refer [link|http://brookshireconsulting.com/technical_update.html] for more information.
    I have tried it my own and it do improve the performance,.
    Hope this improves the performace for you as well.

  • Very slow performance running Mavericks - need troubleshooting help

    Hello folks:
    I have a MBP 2011 which was upgraded to Mavericks from Mountain Lion about 6 weeks ago. Since then I have had a major performance drop - slow machine, very slow window renderings, etc. I know a number of people have been facing these issues and have been recommended to clean up 3rd party extensions/agents. I ran Etrecheck (report below) and I need some help with fixing the failed kernel extensions and launch daemons. Thanks much!

      Western Digital My Book 1148 3 TB    WD drives are one of the worst things that can happen to a mac. They have software on the drive and also in the firmware of the drive enclosure that is incompatible with Mavericks. The software that they also want you to install on your mac (to run the drive with the shitware on it that is incompatible with Mavericks) is also incompatible with Mavericks. The best thing to do with this drive is to open it and remove the hard drive and put it into a new (non-WD) enclosure. Then smash the WD enclosure into little bits with a sledgehammer and mail it back to WD.

    com.wdc.driver.USB_64HP (1.0.0 - SDK 10.6)     This would be part of the shitware that you installed from WD. I would  uninstall the WD application that installs this driver. If the driver is still there after that, I'd look for the extension in /System/Library/Extensions and delete it from there. This may have damaged your kernel, though. If your performance is not improved after removing the WD app and this extension, you should probably back up your documents, erase your HD, and do a clean reinstall of Mavericks.

I would try repairing your hard drive: Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Repair permissions too while you're there. OS X: About OS X Recovery . Then restart, reassess your mac’s performance, and rerun Etrecheck. If that doesn’t work, I’d reinstall Mavericks over your current installation. If that doesn’t work, I’d do a clean install.
