Indesign CC9.2.2 unusable on Macbook Pro Retina

Hi there I was wondering if any people happen to get extremely poor usage with Indesign on Macbook Pro Retina.
I have the 2011 version with 2,6Ghz Intel Core i7 with 8GB ram.
I can use Photoshop, Illustrator and even After Effects simultaneously without any hiccups or slowdowns. But using Indesign without any other programs on is useless.
After trying some suggestions like putting the settings to Typical display, closing Font Explorer, no rulers etc.. I still can't use the program as it should.
Problems start when I work in documents with 10 pages with images, text and some Illustrator/Photoshop links in them.
Deleting an object takes 42 seconds and at first it looks like you haven't pressed a single button. Takes 10 seconds before the rainbow wheel appears.
Moving objects takes 31 seconds
Pasting an object from another page takes 1 minute and 11 seconds.
I have seen many people experiencing the problem but haven't seen an solution yet. Does anyone know about a time frame when Adobe will fix the bugs with Retina screens?
Or any other tips for a solution.
Thanks in advance,

I just tested this on two other Macbook Retina's and I've got the same problems on those. Could it be because the file is originally made in CS6 and CC can't handle that?
Now testing with activity monitor on to check if I see any weird jumps in there.

  • Installing indesign 4 on a macbook Pro Retina Display

    I am trying to install InDesign on a MacBook Pro retina display running Maverick, but the Adobe Creative Suite 4 show all the applications to install EXCEPT InDesign.
    Any Ideas how I can get the program on my newer Mac?

    CS4 is unsupported under Mavericks and your applications, if you can get them installed and running, are likely to look horrible on that retina display.

  • Photoshop CS6 performance on new Macbook Pro Retina Late 2013

    Hi guys,
    Just bought the new 13" Macbook Pro Retina Late 2013 with 8GB RAM and 256SSD.
    Installed CS6 with all patches and retina update but performance is appaling. Im editing a Nikon D800 file which I know is heavy, but when zoomed in at 100% and using the healing brush it is unusable. There is so much lag on the brush it takes a second after i lift my pen for the stroke to be finishes.
    Happening in Scaled & Best for Retina screen modes.
    My 2005 Core 2 Duo laptop with 4GB of ram and windows 7 did this without hiccups, so I cant believe this brand new laptop cant do it.
    Any ideas? Its really unusable now.
    Cheers

    Dick,
    If you downloaded and installed the latest Mac OS X driver, it will not work with your Intuos2 tablet.  If you OS X is 10.6+, here are driver directions to follow for a clean install and a link to the last driver:
    Open your Applications folder and locate any Tablet or Wacom Tablet folders you have
    Use the Utility in each of these folders and click ‘Remove’ under ‘Tablet Software’
    Once the software is removed, restart the computer
    After restarting, download and install the latest 6.20 driver from:http://cdn.wacom.com/U/drivers/mac/pro/WacomTablet_6.2.0w4.dmg
    As always, make sure your tablet is connected directly to your computer.
    Avoid using USB hubs, keyboard/monitor ports, or docking stations with the tablets, as they can cause inconsistent behavior.

  • How do I erase the free space on macbook pro retina?

    I went to erase the free space on my MacBook Pro Retina in the Disk Utility but it says not available for this type of drive. Is there a way I can get around this?

    You can't use Disk Utility to securely erase a Solid State Disk drive, because of the fact that SSD's have limited write capability, unlike hard drives, thus have to protect the sectors from as little writes as possible.
    In fact TRIM (wear leveling) is enabled to write new data to the least used sectors on a SSD each time.
    The NSA guidelines for secure data destruction on SSD's is to grind them into a fine powder.
    If you don't require this level of data destruction, you can do this trick below, but not often or you'll premaurely wear out your SSD.
    Finder > Duplicate a small file repeatly in a folder until slightly more than 50% of the remaining free space on the SSD is used up, (use Activity Monitor) then delete this folder.
    Then duplicate a different small file repeatly in another folder in the same manner.
    What this will do is, because of the small file, OS X will fill the smallest unused spots on the SSD, the duplicates will fill the remaining free space half way, then the second folder will (because of TRIM) fill the other remaining 50% of the free space.
    You can't fill your boot drive or the machine can refuse to function or boot, but because of the wear leveling this should overwrite all your available free space on the SSD once.
    If you have a laptop and TimeMachine, there is a hidden database on the boot drive which will store a copy of the deleted data.
    Then there is "versions" and it's possible a copy of the deleted data is stored in that cache file still on the SSD.
    I can advise how to delete the TimeMachine backup file on the boot drive, but not the "versions" database or what it contains.
    How do I securely delete data from the machine?
    If your really paranoid it's likely best to reformat the entire MacintoshHD partition from recovery and then with a new user, then do the Finder > Duplicate procedure to overwrite the deleted data off the SSD, this way the "versions" and TimeMachine databases are also overwritten.
    Nothing is safe anymore.

  • Macbook pro retina graphic glitch

    Hello,
    I'd like to share with you my story with the problems I've had with my macbook pro retina 15' 2012 (with both intel and nvidia graphics) and ask for some help.
    First of all, back when it still had Mountain Lion as its OS I already detected some graphic glitches. When I started the mbpr, 1 out of 5 times it would load buggy. The dock would shake whenever I move the mouse over it, exposé would lag a lot and eventually scrolling in Safari was terrible, incredibly shaky. Basically every animation on the OS went laggy or just at 10 fps.
    However the performance in terms of speed and results was still OK. If I played a game I would detect no error whatsoever.
    So after some months of ignoring it because I had work and couldn't take the mac to the store I decided to take it. It was getting worse as it started to happen more often than usual. By then I had already upgraded to Mavericks (no clean install, just updated) and the problem still persisted.
    Visit #1:
    After explaning the problem and being able to show it to the genius they took my mac. They called a couple of days after telling me it was a OS issue and they did a clean install of Mavericks.
    So I took it home, reinstall everything from scratch, they told me it may be an account/user issue so I better not use time machine to recover anything.
    After a month it started to happen again. I have to say that it happen after I had already installed everything quite some time before, not right after installing any particular app or while running any.
    It would load buggy again 1 out of 2/3 times and it wouldn't stop until I restarted and if I was lucky enough it would load OK.
    Visit #2:
    I returned to the genius and explained again the problem. They decided that it had to be some graphic issue related to the intel or nvidia systems so they replaced the logic board.
    Again a couple of weeks later I detected the problem again.
    Visit #3:
    Once more to the store, they were quite puzzled that even after replacing the motherboard it would still show the issue.
    After doing some tests they decided to reinstall Mavericks. Once installed they found no issue so they decided it was solved.
    After this I had to return once again because it turn out that they forgot to connect the keyboard backlight system and it wouldn't light.
    Anyway, this time I decided to install only the absolutely necesary apps for my work. I even downloaded the newest versions of all of them (if they had newer). Most of those apps are from the Mac App Store and the ones that are not are absolutely famous and used by thounsands of people, not that I use alphas or betas of any app.
    One important detail is that the problem was getting worse. Now every time I started the mac it would be buggy and it was extremely shaky, it was impossible to read while scrolling in Safari now. Sometimes when using exposé/mission control it would even show weird pixels on screen. Every time I had this problem it was worse, more shaky and more often.
    Visit #4:
    Being already a VIP visitor of the genius bar I went decided to solve the problem once and for all. I told them every detail, they saw the problem and I insisted on the software I had was completely "normal". They told me they would replace the screen, the logic board again and the IO just in case.
    So imagine my surprise when I receive a call from the genius who was repairing my machien saying that after reinstalling Mavericks it showed no issue! I was furious. They insisted that it was some app I had installed and that I needed to install one app at a time, wait ONE WEEK and if nothing happens install the next.
    They were not kidding aparently. After complaining I had no choice but to take my mac back and....here I am.
    So my question (after the diary I've written, sorry) is:
    Is this really being caused by an app I have installed? Is really an app capable of crash the entire animation system and only while in the OS UI and not in games? I've never had any app running on the background besides Fantastical (from Appstore) and Dropbox (updated).
    I am listing the apps I had last time I resintalled everything:
    1. 2Do (appstore)
    2. Indesign CC
    3. Appcleaner
    4. Autocad 2014
    5. World of warcraft
    6. Dropbox
    7. Evernote (appstore)
    8. Fantastical (appstore)
    9. Keynote, Pages & Numbers (appstore)
    10. Pixelmator (appstore)
    11. Sketchup 2014
    12. Skype
    13. Steam
    14. The unarchiver
    15. Transmission
    16. VLC
    17. iPhoto
    So, 17 apps, which I believe are just a few. Is there any of those apps you think may cause any issue? I haven't installed anything yet. I am using my old macbook pro (which btw have every app I had in the buggy retina with no problem whatsoever) while I try to see if the problem persist while installing nothing.
    I still don't believe it is a software problem. Since it appears every time sooner and with more "intensity" I suspect it might be hardware but I am no expert.
    Thanks for any help or info you can share!

    Go for a few day (2-3) without installing any apps. Then install AutoCAD 2014 first and run only that for another couple of days. See if the problems resurface. If not, go ahead and reinstall all software, making sure that you create a clone after everything's installed (try Carbon Copy Cloner - they have a few 30-day evaluation period, I believe).
    If problems resurface, you'll know that it's hardware.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Photoshop CS5.1 Pixelated on Macbook Pro Retina Display

    Hello!
    I am a photography student who just bought a new macbook pro retina display. I use Photoshop a lot for my course so need help with this as quick as possible.
    Everything on Photoshop seems to be pixelated which is not ideal right now. I also have an iMac which runs the same version of Photoshop and that is absolutely fine, never had a problem. My friend suggested downloading a trial version of the CC as this automatically sorted hers out but did not mine. Any suggestions at all will be SO helpful as I've researched into this problem and are yet to find an answer!

    Very simple. The hiDPI Macintoshes and MacOS support for same were released after CS6 was released. Some of the CS6 applications got upgrades to support these hiDPI displays; others including InDesign did not get such upgrades until the CC 2013 version.
    Sorry, but there is not anything you can do about this with CS5-vintage software.

  • Help require with installing Adobe Acrobat onto my Macbook Pro Retina.

    Help require with installing Adobe Acrobat onto my Macbook Pro Retina.
    I have successfully installed all of my creative cloud apps with the exception being acrobat.
    I cannot print from Indesign to PDF.
    I have unistalled, reinstalled and still no Adobe Acrobat.
    I now have to go back to Windows 8 and create the PDF's there.
    Any one know how to get around this issue?
    Thanks in advance
    Kelvin

    OSX has effectively killed the ability to print to pdf, (print to pdf eliminates most of the "Rich features" of current pdf).
    Export from InDesign, always, excpet for the 1% of the time where you know why print to pdf would produce a better result.

  • Macbook Pro Retina Display & Adobe programs are pixelated

    Hi. I just purchased a new Macbook Pro Retina Display and have installed CS 5.5 Design Standards to it. When I open the programs (any program: inDesign, Photoshop, etc), the image is pixelated and in low resolution. When I export what I'm working on it looks crisp and great but the software itself is pixelated. Are there any upgrades / updates for CS 5.5 that will fix this problem? Or will there be in the future? I cannot afford to get CS 6 quite yet and am wondering if I should return my Mac and downgrade to get rid of the retina display?? Thanks.

    To get Retina support, you'll have to upgrade to CS6 or join the Adobe Creative Cloud.
    https://creativecloud-specialoffer.adobe.com/special-offer/
    Retina support arrive in Photoshop CS6 (13.0.1 and Cloud 13.1). It will not be added to CS5.5

  • Pixelated MacBook Pro Retina Display!

    I just purchased a MacBook pro retina display 15" 2.3ghz 2 weeks ago and i thought everything was going to be as clear as ever, but it turns out that more stuff are pixelated than before!!!! For example icons and text on websites, download managers and even the programes i work on such as (Adobe photshop, illustrator, indesign) you can see the tool's pixels.! Is this the way it should be or is there something wrong going on?!

    Hello Donald,
    Macbook Pro, retina display, 15".
    2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor  with 6MB shared L3 cache.
    8GB of 1600MHz DDR3L onboard memory.
    256GB storage.
    Intel Iris Pro Graphics.
    OS X MAVERICK.
    $1999 / 2.049eur.
    Adobe Photoshop, inDesign and Illustrator CS5. Never gave me problems... Pixelated.
    Probably the cloud edition CS6 is performed to retina display? Well, I cannot afford the cloud edition now...
    Adobe Acrobat Pro think it's 10. Pixelated.
    Portrait Professional 11. Pixelated.
    Lightroom 5 is ok with retina display.
    And some other programs I'll might use, but not now, for 3D editing and video. I'm afraid of not getting the HiDPI quality in several programs, while I can't wait 6 months or 1 year to developers "work on it"... My job is now, no later...
    Thank you

  • MacBook Pro Retina (2013) and Photoshop Elements 12 or Lightroom 5?

    I have moved to a new MacBook Pro Retina (2013) from my old Windows 7 PC. As an amateur photographer which is better - Photoshop Elements 12 or Lightroom 5?

    Lightroom is already optimized for the retina display and PSE12 looks superb on the Macbook pro R. You are never going to get a retina display much larger than 15 inches but once tried you would never wish to go back to other monitors. It’s not just photos; all Apple apps on the MBPr including web browsing are optimized.
    Large monitors can be great if you are soft proofing images for print enlargements or for editing and rendering video where the extra real estate is useful. So it comes down to need. In general, images appear sharper on smaller displays.  I upload most of my photos to my own website and Google Analytics tells me that a high proportion of my visitors are increasingly viewing on iPads, tablets and smartphones. For me that makes the MBPr ideal for my photo editing. It has far superior clarity compared with the excellent 27 inch Dell Ultra Sharp monitor on my desktop machine.
    The only caveat is that nobody really knows the life of flash storage. Some say four years when writing continuously to the SSD drive and less once you start moving from unused space to overwriting. For that reason I always try to write to an external hard drive or SDXC card; reserving the SSD, as far as possible for running the applications.
    I think we are getting a bit off-topic as the OP already has the MBPr and only needs to decide between PSE & LR or both.

  • Macbook Pro Retina 15' Late 2013 or Early 2013?

    Hey guys, I don't know whether I should get the latest version of macbook pro retina 15 inch or the earlier one. All I do with the laptop are using adobe indesign and illustrator for photo editing.

I am currently using a macbook air 13 mid 2011 in case you ask. Would you guys please gimme some useful advices?

    I would recommend the very stylish and modern Macintosh portable:-

  • MacBook Pro Retina Display Support ?

    I just purchased a new MacBook Pro Retina Display laptop, and would like to know when I can expect Adobe to upgrade the CS6 suite of apps to take advantage of the Retina display.

    Don Quinn wrote:
    Am I the only one confused why people buy into doubly dense displays and then want to dumb them down by making elements on them twice as large?  That seems wasteful. Scoot your chair closer to the screen. I hold an iPhone 4 closer to my face than a 2nd gen iPod touch. It is no big deal. They look the same that way.
    The retina display does not introduce a new issue. Dot pitch has been increasing for years. We see people that will adjust their LCDs to a non-native resolution (ie: running 1024x768 on a 1280x1024-capable display). Or they will adjust their system settings to display larger fonts. Instead of buying the right monitor for their needs and eyesight, they misuse an expensive display. I would love to have the pixels that they are not using. A pixel is a terrible thing to waste.
    You show a complete lack of understanding of the problem, and what the Retina display brings to the table. It's not just a higher density display — it's roughly double the resolution. You even said it, but did you think it through? According to your suggestion, we should run the display at the double resolution and deal with half-sized UI elements. Can I say, "yuck!"? Just TRY to use Photoshop with buttons this small:
    http://d.pr/i/LVTH (screenshot of Photoshop CS6 on my rMBP at the highest resolution) Squeeze that into a 15in. laptop screen and you'll see the problem.
    Most are smaller than my mouse pointer. Some apps that don't support the display are completely unusable. I tried playing Team Fortress 2 soon after getting my rMBP and found that the settings UI is so small it's impossible. The doubled resolution isn't so we get more screen real estate — it's so we get super-crisp images and a level of detail in the photos and graphics we work on that parallels printed work. Hell, I'd settle for just getting the workspace Retina supported. I don't care if the UI is grainy, I just want my photos and prints to be crystal clear.
    I'm STILL waiting on word (any word at all) from Adobe that even HINTS on Retina support. I refuse to purchase software because odds are, it'll be in 6.5 and I'll have to purchase all over again. I'd go Creative Cloud but I'm not paying $50/mo for ugly software from a company who could be a bit more loving to the consumer. Also, I just can't afford it. I'm unfortunately stuck waiting with just Pixelmator (which is Retina supported already... ahem) until Adobe says something. ANYTHING. Instead, you could hear a pin drop in the silence. WE JUST WANT TO KNOW

  • Problems between Macbook pro retina and CS6

    Hi,  the problems with the macbook pro retina and CS6 are solved? problems with the pixelated interface in PS, InDesign, Illustrator...
    Thanks

    Photoshop and Illustrator with their latest patches are compatible with retinal displays. InDesign CS6 is not and never will be compatible. You'll need CC for that.

  • New MacBook Pro (retina) eating up Storage

    I synced my new Macbook Pro retina (with 124GB Flash Storage) with my old MacBook (from 2006, with added storage of up to 200GB). Before syncing I removed all photo's, videos, music etc, to make sure there was as much space as possible.
    I had about 20GB of space on there, but through usage it has now gone down to 200mb, if there is a large looking file I delete it, but it keeps filling up again almost to the point where the computer is unusable.
    I think it might be something today with my Outlook Database (I installed my Office 2011, and it took the info from my Entourage 2004.)
    Does anyone know anything like this?
    I think I might have to scrap my profile and start all over again.
    Any help greatly welcomed.
    Thanks.

    You may be using IMAP, but it may be set to cache locally (I do this intentionally in Apple Mail so I can read IMAP emails when not connected to the Internet).
    If it's doing that, you've probably got a huge email cache, including attachments, inside that Main Identity database. Unfortunately I don't know if the database can be compacted/optimized, but you might want to look into that possibility on the Microsoft support site.
    Because I am not familiar with the inner workings of the user identity database, I do not know how it stores cached of documents from other Office apps like Word or PowerPoint, I'm only bringing that up as something you might want to research as well since 40GB seems to be a lot for just emails. I'm sure you're not the first to run into this.
    (Edit) I just looked at mine. I use Word and Excel but not Entourage/Outlook. My Main Identity is about 30MB, if you want to use that as another data point. Not gigabytes...megabytes.

  • Macbook pro retina doesn't turn on for a day or two

    Macbook Pro Retina     13-inch Late 2012
    2.5GHz Intel Core i5
    OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
    So this is a weird one... I recently purchased a used Macbook Pro Retina and the previous owner had upgraded the hard drive for a bigger size. My macbook worked great for a few days but then one night I closed it and the next day when I opened it, it would not turn on. I tried rebooting the battery (SHIFT+CONTROL+OPTION and POWER) then hitting power but NOTHING. At one point, I heard a clicking sound when I would leave the power button down. Then... two days later I push the power button just because and BAM! The screen comes on. (I didn't hear the start up sound, and it wasn't like it restarted.) It was as if the screen brightness was all the way down but then came back. (I kept trying to adjust that too before it turned on).
    I don't understand!!! Two days later, same thing happened. Then again, it turned back on a day later.
    The only thing I noticed that was weird was when I connected it to my tv with HDMI cable. The laptop screen would freeze and get distorted and I would have to force a restart (the black screen with the apple would appear and the loading bar as if I would updating the software).
    I'm soooo confused and I don't want this to keep happening. I would appreciate any type of help or advice!!
