Is Version Cue CS4    TOO SLOW TO USE??????

Is it just me or is the new CS4 versioncue workflow extremely slow?
After installing Version Cue CS4 on the same server that was running CS3 and trying to open an existing InDesign project (book with dozens of linked images), I realized that using VersionCue CS4 is so painfully slow compared to CS3 that it's unusable.
It seems that VC CS4 does not create local copies on the hard drive and instead, all traffic is sent over the relatively slow Ethernet connections. While this does help with synchronizing confusions, it makes working on the projects way too slow.
VC CS4 is running with 768MB on my server, so I don't think that is the problem.
Will someone respond to this post and let me know if (a) I'm probably doing something wrong and everything will be OK, or (b) if I can install CS4 and still use VC CS3 on the server?
thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response.. It seems a bit hit or miss on opening up my projects.
For example, if I click on a PDF file in Bridge, it takes upwards of a minute to launch Acrobat 9 and display the first page. If I open Acrobat 9 first, and then click on the PDF, it opens almost instantly.
Also, we have a job with a Microsoft PPT slideshow. When editing the slide show and saving back to the Version Cue 4 server (pressing save in the PowerPoint program), it takes upwards of a minute.
This is with 768MB allocated to the stand-alone server, and 1GB assigned to the Adobe Drive CS4 cache on the client computer.
Does anyone know how to get VC CS4 or Adobe Drive to operate faster?

  • Lightroom 2.4 Is Too Slow To Use As A Professional Product

    Hello -
    I would like to know how to get Lightroom to respond in less than 4-8 seconds for almost any task.
    From returning to Grid mode (4.5 seconds) to adjusting a routine crop and angle (5-7 seconds per move, 60-90 seconds total) to simply shift-selecting three to fifty photos (4-9 seconds) no matter what I do in Lightroom, it is worse that Photoshop 1.0 on a Mac Plus. Really.
    Returning to Lightroom from another app - 7 seconds.
    Getting the menus to drop down - 4 seconds.
    My lightroom settings:
    standard preview size: 1680
    Quality: High
    Discard 1:1: Never
    write changes to XMP: off
    Catalog: 127 mb on F drive (24 gig free)
    Catalog: 13.5k photos, 95 gig on F drive
    Cache: 6 gig on F drive
    NVIDIA settings: performance over quality
    My computer:
    HP 8730 elitebook
    4 gig ram
    XP Pro, SP2
    Proc: Core 2 Duo T9400, 2666 MHz (10 x 267)
    DirectX    4.09.00.0904 (DirectX 9.0c)
    Chipset: Cantiga PM45
    Video: NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700M  (1024 MB)
    (2x) 250 gig 7200 rmp HD
    Before anyone says to export to a new catalog and re-import, etc, use a smaller catalog, etc, be advised that I have done all of that. I have imported only 250 images to a new catalog, on a newly installed OS, with Lightroom as the ONLY application. Still it acts this sluggish.
    I have scoured the boards for solutions, and having tried all the varied fixes to no avail, I really quite strongly feel that a person should not EVER be in the position or running some of the most powerful available hardware and STILL have to wait interminable seconds for Lightroom to respond.
    This software, as it stands now on the PC platform (unless I am missing something quite obvous) is absolutely unusable in its present state.
    Can someone from Adobe or a board guru please respond in kind to my request for help?

    Let me repeat-
    Partitioning ONE drive to contain system files, application, cache, catalog and photos=SLOW.
    It really doesn't matter that the drive is 7200 or 10k rpm if ALL items reside on the same drive. The MacPro has four bays. One drive for system and catalog, second for cache, third for photos=FAST.
    Wow, I'm glad you repeated that, and used capitalized text so that I would be sure to understand.
    Clearly, the benchmarks I have off of the various evolutions of my last 3, $10k computers must be in error. (single system disk, RAID-0 system disk, 10k RPM system disk, RAID-0 3x -10K rpm system disks, multiple scratch volumes on different drives, singular scratch volumes on RAIDed drives, tested via benchmark programs and application specific batch tests, etc.etc.)
    More importantly as an issue of forum protocol, you didn't actually read my post.

    I'm throwing 370 mb/sec between two individual sets of 4 drive RAID-0 sets.  Single 7200rpm drives sling about 80 mb/sec.  My drive arrangement isn't the reason Lightroom IS TOO SLOW TO USE AS A PROFESSIONAL PRODUCT.
    Also, since I referenced and linked the former software engineer turned photo FREAK in my post, whose blog I started reading last year corroborating the decisions I've made in my previous system setups with immaculate documentation and testing procedure your response even more seems like the entire reason I rarely bother posting in community forums.  You seem to be here to spout, not to contribute and learn.
    Take a look at all of the info contained here: (I've already read it, all of it, and more)

    and if you still think I'm wrong, lets have an informed debate about it.  Really.
    Otherwise, lets please keep this topic moving forward with the issues Adobe needs to address next to make Lightroom a better product for professional photographers, and specifically, help out ellsworth999 who started this topic, who seems to have a big helping of problems on his plate. I can't speak to him directly of his problems since I'm not using the Windows version of the software.

  • 4 to 4.1 - too slow to use.

    Since upgrading to 4.1 LR has become too slow to use.
    The problem lies primarily, but not restricted to, the noise reduction sliders.  The luminance slider specifically.
    Unless I can fix something I will have to return to an older version, Im actually thinking of going back to 3.6 which worked fine on my machine - AMD E2, Dual Core graphics, 4gm RAM.
    Please help.

    The queries are the same across all three database platforms and have been examined by our dba's and run through SQL Server optimizer to get the access path. All queries are very simple...the system was originally written in Btrieve. It is "record at a time" in nature. The program that does the screen refresh does three seperate queries...all something like, select * from tablename where key = 'abc'. The program then combines the data into a single record and returns the results. Like I said...SQL Server 1 second. Each of the three tables has 30,000 records, all with unique keys. The data returned to the application is probably 50 records, each 200 bytes...all character data. All tests were done with the same workstation on the same LAN....I don't think LAN latency is the problem here. Using other query tools, the response back is good, as expected.
    Another example...at application startup, we load all of the metadata (columns, primary key segments and index segments) into memory using the standard odbc api calls...SQLColumns, SQLPrimaryKeys and SQLStatistics. SQL Server loads this in maybe 8-10 seconds while Oracle loads in 15 minutes at best. These queries we don't control and it is still unbelievably slow. Again, using the ODBCTEST utility, the results for these api's come back pretty quick.
    If it is our application causing the problem in some way then it should be equally slow across all platforms, right?
    By the way, we had one of your Oracle Consultants in house trying to solve the metadata problem and he was unable to find any problem in our application and had no answers for us.
    Thanks for the quick response.

  • How to Uninstall Version Cue CS4?

    Although I have Version Cue CS4 switched off, I would like to remove it completely since I think my Mac is having startup issues and I want to remove any potential source I can. (Unfortuately CS4 has always been the greatest source of stability issues on my Mac so a good place to start since I haven't used Version Cue CS4 in years).
    I noticed on this forum thread a Version Cue SDK start-up script but I don't have this one show in my Bridge prefs, presumably I don't have the SDK installed or I'm not updated,
    I note PS CS4 has an uninstall alias in it's application folder, but the other apps in CS4 creative suit don't. It's kind of apauling that I've had to spend so long trawling the various Adobe help labaryniths to get such basic information.

    You said you think you are having startup issues on your Mac. What are the startup issues you are experiencing?
    One quick thing to check; go to System Preferences - Accounts - Login Items.
    Are there any Adobe applications listed that are automatically run when your Mac first starts up?
    If not, then it seems unlikely that VersionCue or any Adobe product is related to your Mac startup issues.
    You should try to focus on the Mac startup issues first. While your CS4 stability issues can be frustrating, it is a good idea to do first things first.
    Have you applied all updates for your version of OSX? Have you run Disk Utility to repair permissions and do a hard disk test?
    Although just because Disk Utility says the disk is ok doesn't mean that much, but if it flags disk issues then you need to resolute them first.
    You should probably back up your files before doing a lot of troubleshooting, just to be on the safe side.
    Posting your Mac model, PPC or Intel, OSX version along with amount of RAM and hard drive space - BOTH Used and Unused space might point towards the issues you are experiencing.
    Also, describe the startup issues and if it happens all the time or only part of the time.

  • Connecting to Version Cue CS4 via Bridge?

    This is the set up;
    Windows 2008 Server:  Running Version Cue CS4,  no other software related to adobe products is installed, other than Version Cue, and any assets necessary for Version Cue to run.
    Client Work Stations running Windows 7 Ultimate, with Photoshop CS4 and After Effects CS4 Installed.
    When the clients open their bridge applications there is no visible way for them to connect to the bridge, located on the server, which is on the same network via the same router.
    If you run Version Cue directly off of the same system you're trying to connect to it on, it shows up on it's own.  How do you connect to a remove Version Cue CS4 server via bridge?  Where is the option to even add it? 
    I assume this would be similar to the default set up any work group would use when using these two tools together.  Why isn't there an option to browse for a VC server and put in it's IP or something. They're on the same network, so why can't we just see it and 'just' add it. 

    Jasker - Thanks you for trying to help, but it didn't work. I followed your directions. Then I attempted to restart the Version Cue server and a Safari browser opened and pointed to http://localhost:3703/ with the message "Safari cant connect to the server.
    Safari cant open the page http://localhost:3703/ because it could not connect to the server localhost."
    I just want it to start up again so I can properly retrieve all of our projects! Even if I can get it back up, I don't think I will use Version Cue the way we used to, now that I know how unreliable it can be.
    Can anyone at least offer advice on how to salvage shared projects (created and maintained by 2 different users) from the Version Cue server when it's offline?

  • Mac pro too slow to use, spinning ball, no finder response, only hard power off, installing system stalls at 18 minutes left.

    mac pro too slow to use, spinning ball, no finder response, only hard power off, installing system stalls at 18 minutes left.
    It is taking an hour to power up and mac apple logo appear onscreen. No finder controls or "clicks" are being recognized. Spinning beachball all the time.
    Using hard power off and holding the mouse down, I was able to open the optical drive and then restart with "c" and ask the dvd to reinstall the system, but it has stalled before finishing the installation.
    This happened about 4 days ago, first it started responding slowly, and then it just keeps spinning the beachball. I can't find hardware test. I did run etrecheck, it did not have any error messages, but I can't copy or move the data anywhere.... I am not able to access the mac pro with another machine, and now I am stuck in install freeze, so I can't copy etrecheck by hand onto a piece of paper.
    Without being able to finish a reinstall, what can I try?
    After it got bad, and before it got REALLY bad, I managed to repair permissions, but it took a long time. Most of a day. When I restarted from that, things were only worse.
    Mac Pro 1,1 , 11 GB ram, 7300, 5TB hard drives, OS 10.6.8,  the drive containing the system folder is/was 700 used, 290 free. While I could get commands to respond, I put Activity monitor on the desktop and watched it.  System memory was 3.31 GB used, about 7 free, and some wired. No app was using a huge amount.
    what should I try next? I put a bid on a new/old machine so that I could move the 4 hard drives over.

    Thank you for all your suggestions. Please correct me as I articulate this.
    I have three versions( 5, 6, CC) of the Adobe Master Collection which I keep active for different clients. I have final cut and motion. I have Office 365. I have a collection of graphic apps that are individually not too big but in all, my app folder is 65GB and my bootcamp partition is 61GB. I can't fit all this on 120 ssd and a 256 will be full once I install, correct? drives should be half open?
    Somehow I did not make it clear enough that I was trying to copy onto a 2TB drive I had just initiallized in order to try and save files from my startup drive. I don't use time machine. I take a day or a few days worth of documents and physically move them to another drive at night.  If a series is finished I make two dvd's as well. The second black drive that was failing was the drive I moved my backup documents onto. At no point was I trying to backup onto the failing drives. I was trying to copy off both of them onto the other two drives, a third aux backup that has been there for a while, and a newish 2 TB which I designated as the startup drive when all this trouble started.
    I wondered if there were any good techniques for trying to get the data off the failing drive. Thanks for the suggestion of Data Rescue 3. I don't have it yet, but I will try it as soon as I get it. I was never trying to repair in place.
    I am very interested in getting a pci bracket and an ssd, but I may wait until I can afford the larger one. If I get an older bracket that is compatible with my old mac pro 1,1  ,  I'd like to be able to move it to a mac pro 3,1 if I get one. Will the larger ssd drives be compatible with the sata in a pci bracket that can work in my mac pro 1,1 ? sata 2 versus something else? If 240 or 256 is my size limit, how much more than my 65 and 61 GB partitions can I put on there? How much of a scratch disc can I make if I leave another 39 GB of headroom on my bootcamp partition? I'm filling 165 GB without making any allowance for temp files.
    You have said that 120 is enough for any system. I think I must be misunderstanding something. Are you saying that assuming that most people run office and photoshop and maybe lightroom?
    I have and use 4 HDD in this machine, mostly for document storage in two places.
    I took out all but the group of 2GB ram chips I bought a year and a half ago. The old ram had passed the hardware test the last time I had access to the hardware test. Two black drives failed, one was a year old and one was a year and a half old, and that it may have been exacerbated by the heat wave. I don't know why the video and the monitor were affected save that the startup drive was failing. I am trying to replace the card.
    With all this said, I am also looking at a used mac pro 3,1 with a better video card since a newer machine will likley be compatible through another OS upgrade. If a machine costs only a little more than a new card, it might be a better way to go.
    I don't have any sources that offer an ssd for 100. ( of a size that is useful)

  • Problem with InDesign CC redrawing the screen too slow while using Zoom tool

    Hello. I got a problem with InDesign CC redrawing the screen too slow while using Zoom tool. Sometimes it takes more than a secong to zoom in or out. However InDesign CS6, Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC works just fine. What could be the problem, videocard or something else? Below is my PC configuration: OS Windows 8 Pro (x64); processor Intel Core i7 2600k CPU 3,40GHz; video adapter NVIDIA GeForse GTS 450; monitor NEC PA271W (2560x1440).

    Yes it’s a bug. The trick is to select the tool and then left click the photo information strip and hold for a few seconds until you see the windows bar at the top of the screen (not responding)
    The lasso tool should then work normally.

  • Missing Version Cue CS4

    Windows XP 32 bit
    I have PS CS5 so I uninstalled PS CS4.
    Now I can't right click on the desktop or a file nor can I delete a file. I get an Explorer.exe Fatal Application Exit window saying:
    The specified module could not be found
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\Client\4.0.0\VersionCue.DLL
    One solution I saw was to copy the DLL from Client\4.0.1  into Client\4.0.0
    BUT
    1. 4.0.1 file location doesn't have a VersionCue.DLL in it
    2. There is no Client\4.0.0 folder to put it in even if it were there in 4.0.1.

    It's possible Adobe is trying to install a Shell Extension.
    There are a couple of good free tools available out there on the net to manage what Shell Extensions you allow to run.
    My favorite, which allows you to view an overview of EVERYTHING that's starting on your computer and disable the things you don't want running is AutoRuns.  It's freeware and available here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902
    I have Photoshop 6.0, CS4, and CS5 installed on my Windows 7 x64 workstation.  The Adobe software I've personally disabled is shown in the following list.  Note that I'm only interested in running Photoshop, not the entire creative suite, and without any Adobe web integration:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

    AutoRuns has a nice search feature to help you find all the Adobe entries...  Click the binoculars, enter Adobe, then hit OK.  Hit the F3 key to search for subsequent entries.
    Basically, just uncheck the items you don't want running, taking care to ensure you understand what they are and why you might want them (this will take some net research).  When you're done, exit and reboot.
    Good luck ferreting out the piece that's not needed/wanted.

  • Adobe Version Cue CS4 -- startup entry in Windows 7

    Greetings,
    I want to know if something will go wrong with Version Cue if I will disable it in Windows startup list.
    Is it really necessary to keep it enabled if I use it very rarely? Will the program function correctly if I'll start using it without this entry?
    Thanks.

    I was of the understanding that CS4 was available in 32-bit and 64-bit varieties?  I was aware, of course, that only some of the software was truly 64-bit, but is it the case that by owning CS4 in general, I actually do have the 64-bit version?  That's a relief... if I'm understanding correctly.
    I'll only be running 4GB of RAM, unfortunately, but I don't do a lot of intensive things with CS4 anyway--I mostly picked up Web Premium to learn some of the Adobe tools for my future work life, and to play around with some basic Web design.  I'm sure 4GB's will suffice.  If not, I can always upgrade later!  I definitely plan to do a fresh install when I my copy of 7 arrives... I'm still rather superstitious of OS "upgrades" after the days of Windows 95 and 98 upgrading. heh
    I actually had a bit of a computer problem that prevented me from deactivating my previous install... hopefully it won't cause me too much difficulty to get it back up and running!
    Thanks for the information, Bob!
