Layer transform lag solved by turning off layer thumbnails

I was looking into why layer transforms was lagging this morning and found some results in the pshop cs6 beta threads, one user suggested hiding the layers panel / swapping with channels. I did that and it was faster, then I thought maybe it was the layer thumbnails that was causing the problem, so I turned off the thumbnails and there was a noticable speedup in dragging grouped layers.
Before I did this thumbnails were set to crop to layer bounds, so I THINK something is not quite right there.

Turning off thumbnails works to a point, but if you are moving massive amounts of layers photoshop cs6 will take a long pause. I am guessing the layer stack i'm moving around 60 layers nested (user interface elements)
The system is a dell M6600 / quadro 4000 / win7 (64-bit) / 32gb of ram, I just updated to the latest nvidia drivers today, made sure of it. (296.70)
The issue is similar/same as the one discussed in:

[SOLVED] Screen turns off on boot at "Loading ACPI Modules"

So, I have been using arch for some time and am really liking it so far. It has replaced Windows on my desktop and am planning to install it on my laptop when I get a chance. I showed my parents some audio apps that run under Linux, and they suddenly wanted arch too! I decided to install arch on their desktop, so after migrating Windows to a larger hard drive, I installed arch onto the remaining space... Everything seemed fine until I tried to boot into the new system. Once it reaches "Loading ACPI Modules" the screen turns off and refuses to turn back on. I have tried everything I could think of (booting into the LiveCD again and running pacman -Syu on the new install, swapping the monitor to a different video port, reinstalling arch) and some solutions I found on the forums (adding acpi=off, noapic, nolapic_sound to the boot line.) The latter made the boot skip ACPI, but the the screen blanks on "Waiting for udev events to be processed"! I'm thinking it might be something to do with the video card (an old Radeon X1300 AGP) but I don't know what to do to fix it... The system doesn't lock up, as even after it blanks I can log in and push Ctrl-G to make a terminal beep! I've tried everything I can think of... If this doesn't work I'll probably try another distro on that machine. The system is:
Intel D845WN Motherboard
1GB PC133 RAM
2.2Ghz Celeron Processor
Radeon X1300 AGP card
Sound Blaster Audigy PCI card
USB 2.0 PCI Card
PCI NIC
Thanks in advance for any advice!
EDIT: Actually, I think it does lock up, as I don't have to hold down the power button to turn it off after the screen blanks.
EDIT AGAIN: Thanks, adding "radeon.setmode=0" worked like a charm! I knew that card was a bit wacky, but I didn't think it would stop the system from booting...

ok, seems it's the automatic kernel mode setting (KMS) that causes this see:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI … _.28KMS.29
to get the system to boot, go into the grub menu, edit the boot option (i.e. press 'e') then edit the line that looks like
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=...
and add
radeon.modeset=0
at the end of it. Then your system should start fine. Now add this to the corresponding line in /boot/grub/menu.lst

I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

Turning off 1 monitor causing problems?

first off i am trying to explain the situation as best as possible here so please ask if this doesnt make sense.
i have 2 LCD's hooked to the new Mini as such:
1 going mini display port to DVI adapter to DVI on 19" Monitor (standard monitor)
1 going mini DVI to DVI adapter to a DVI to HDMI on 52" LCD (Samsung TV)
i just sold me iMac and switched to the Mini not only to be able to hide the Mini which i couldn't do with the iMac but also when i watch a movie full screen on the 52 i was never able to turn off the iMac monitor and would have to cover it with a towel so that it was dark in the room except for the 52 showing the movie.
my thought was that with 2 monitors separately hooked up to the Mini that i could solve the turning off the second monitor problem as they would now both have power buttons. besides making it dark in the room i also like to have the monitor off and so that i can have Plex on the 52 always in full screen mode so my wife can just hit "Watch Plex" on the logitech remote and the TV and Stereo switch to the proper inputs and away she goes to watch whatever without having to touch the computer which when both monitors are on works perfectly.
Scenario:
i have the 19 setup with the Dock and menu bar and the 52 as an extended desktop. this allows me to keep EyeTV and Plex full screen and still have full functioning OS on the 19 regardless of whether we are watching something or not. this also allows me to remote desktop in which is what i usually do from the macbook on the couch and enjoy the fullscreen movie or whatever and setup downloads or what have you on the second monitor. hope that made sense.
Problems:
1. when the 19 is connected to the mini-DVI port and 52 to the mini-Display port and a movie is going on the 52 and i go to turn off the 19 which is where i keep my menu bar and dock i get a stuttering movie on the 52 and when i turn the 19 back on it goes away. this happens regardless of whether the movie is running in Plex, VLC, etc.. or even if i am watching EyeTV.
2. if i switch then around so that the 19 is on the mini-Display port and 52 on the mini-DVI port and turn off the 19 then i get the blue screen like you just plugged in a monitor and then i get my menu bar/dock on the 52 and loose the movie all together but still hear it. i have to reopen Plex or whatever to get it full screen on the 52 again but this negates my original plan to have the 19 with the dock/menu bar so that i can do other things while watching the 52 full screen as extended.
i appreciate anyone that took the time to read through this and could give me any possible solutions or idea on how to get this setup working the way i wanted it to.
thanks

it is an Acer X193W and does have a sleep / power saving feature but it is activated by the computer which i think would be a problem.
the manual for the monitor says:
"The monitor will be driven into Power Saving” mode by the control signal from the display controller, as indicated by the amber-color power LED. The power saving states will be kept until a control signal has been detected or the keyboard or mouse is activated. The recovery time from Active OFF state back to ON state is around 5 seconds."
not sure how i could activate that sleep mode without affecting the other monitor?
thanks

How to Turn Off the Smart measurements box off in CS4 MAC

We just switched to CS4 at the office and I found a new anoying feature to me. When I resize or move a box in the page, a black box with measurement appears near my cursor. I truned off the "smart guide" in view and I un-checked all the smart guide option. Please tell me how to took that off please!

I agree with Sandee that the transformation values are a great feature, and I wouldn't think of turning it off. It's not accessible from the contextual menu, only from preferences.
Robert, holding down the Control key on the Mac (after you start moving an object), disables the display of smart guides, but not of transformation values. The only way to turn off transformation values is to turn off the preferences Sandee mentions in post #1.

Turning off thumbnail caching doesn't always work

The standard solution for stopping the creation of thumb nail files doesn't always work. This assumes that since you don't display thumbnails you don't create thumb nails. Not true. If you try to move a JPG created by Windows Media Player as message is
displayed. This message asks you if you really want to move a system file. The message displays a thumbnail. So instantly a THUMBS.DB file is created. Now the whole purpose of the exercise was to move stuff out of the folder, so that after a bit of fiddling
you could reorganise & delete the folder. Now you can't delete the folder, unless you mess around and do it later. There is obviously a (non intuitive) work around. But it would be better if Microsoft allowed you to force the delete.

Hi,
As far as I know there is no official way to turn off thumbnail caching. The only option in Group Policy is Turn off taskbar thumbnails.
Local Computer Policy\User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar\Turn off taskbar thumbnails
Do you encounter any difficult position that must disable thumbnail caching?

How do I put a SWF on a layer in a PDF and turn off visibility?

I have a PDF file produced from a Word document. I can embed a SWF just fine with my Acrobat 9 Pro Extended package but what I want to do is more than place it in a blank space on a page. I want to add it to a layer that I can turn the visibility of on and off with a link so that I can float the SWF over the body of the text temporarily. I've been successful going to a page via links and bookmarks but I want a link to turn on a layer with the SWF already on it when I activate a button link. Then I want to be able to go back to the original page view by turning off the layer. I created layers via Illustrator resaved the file as PDF and embedded the SWF on that layer. The problem is that I could not get the visibility to turn off with the layer menu.
Ideas anyone please?
By the way, I got a letter back from the moderator of the Acrobat Forum when I contacted him directly with this question, He sent me to this part of the Forum with the question I posed to him. Rules! There are some but it is not easy to find them!
Has anyone else had the same trouble I have had with getting oriented and operating on the Forum? I think that a real live phone conversation would be and easier way to get answers than this Forum is. I know Adobe is ubiquitous and it would be very expensive but other popular software companies make getting support much easier than this is.

Turned off automatic layer masks with adjustment layers - want them back

I somehow turned off the option that creates a layer mask automatically when creating a new adjustment layer. I need that feature back, but I cannot locate it anywhere in photoshop or on google. Does anyone know how to reset that option? I am using CS5. Thanks!

Thanks. That is what I have been tying to find, but I am afraid I need a little more guidance. I am in the layers panel and clicked on the arrow to the right and I have no options to select this. Here is what I am looking at:
Then when I select panel options I get this - not what I am looking to fix:

Ilustrator CC: can't turn off layer thumbnails?

Has anyone else noticed that you can no longer turn off layer thumbnails completely by choosing Panel Options from the Layers palette options menu and choosing "Small" for Row Size?
Even if you choose "Medium" for Row Size so that the Thumbnails checkboxes below become ungrayed and choosable, if you UNcheck the box for Layers, the thumbnails remain stubbornly ON.
Very annoying. It has long been known that constantly refreshing layer thumbnails reduces performance in Illustrator, especially in highly layered illustrations....which seems to be all I'm working on lately.

Experienced same issue. Tech support had me revert from CC 2014 back to CC.
You can turn off thumbnails in CC.
Tech support:
We have checked for this issue and it is reproducible on our end too.
We have checked in CC 2014, CC version and CS6 versions for this issue and found this issue with CC 2014 version.
Thank you for bringing this into our notice. We are logging a ticket for the same and our engineering team will have a look into it.
In the meanwhile, I would suggest you that you can use this option in CC version as it is working in CC version.

My Airport Time Capsule only works when I turn off and turn on, but I think this may end up with the unit. What can this happening and how to solve?

Time Capsule Airport
Hello to all, good day, sorry my english google, but it is the tool I have at the moment. I'm having trouble with my Time Capsule Airport, I made all the settings according to the manual, but there has been a connection problem with my iMac. When I finish my work I turn off the imac and then again when they return to work and care, it can not connect to Time Capsule Airport, making it impossible to remove the files and make back up by Time Machine only works when I turn off and turn on the Airport Time Capsule , but I think this may end up with the unit. What can this happening and how to solve? Thank you.
Olá a todos, bom dia, desculpe meu inglês google, mas é a ferramenta que tenho no momento. Estou tendo dificuldades com a minha Airport Time Capsule, fiz todas as configurações de acordo com o manual, mas tem existido um problema de conexão com meu iMac. Quando termino meus trabalhos desligo o imac e depois quando retorno pra trabalhar novamente e ligo, ele não se conecta a Airport Time Capsule, impossibilitando retirar os arquivos e fazer o back-up pelo Time Machine, só funciona quando desligo e ligo a Airport Time Capsule, mas acho que isso pode acabar com o aparelho. O que pode esta acontecendo e como resolver? Obrigado.

This is easier to do with pictures perhaps.. since we do not share a common language and machine translation leaves a lot to be desired.
In the airport utility bring up your Time Capsule.
Simply post the screenshots here.
So here is mine.
Click on the Edit button and give us the Internet and Wireless and Network tab..
eg.
Please also make sure you are set to ipv6 in your wireless or ethernet .. whichever is used.. and do tell which.
This is wifi in your computer.
The following are important..
DO not use long names with spaces and non-alphanumeric names.
Use short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
eg TC name. TCgen5
Wireless name TCwifi
Use WPA2 Personal security with 10-20 character pure alphanumeric password.
read apple instructions to help with TM and TC.. they did finally admit it has issues in Mavericks.
OS X Mavericks: Time Machine problems
Mount the TC manually in finder.
AFP://TCgen5.local
When asked for the password .. that is the disk access password and save it in the keychain.
Reset Time Machine

As far as trying to power up your device, make sure it has a good charge and then hold the button on the top of the phone and the home button on the faceplate together until the apple appears on the screen.
