Layers turned off: any effect on render/preview times? large comp, need tips

I'm working with a very large resolution project, and looking for any tips related to speeding up preview/render times.
One question I have, are layers turned off still considered in the AE preview/render calculations in any way?
thank you

The best way to work with such large stuff is to tile it up in pre-comps and then stitch it back together e.g. using parenting. that way areas completely outside the comp frame will not cause any rendering at all. If that's not possible because e.g. you get antialiasing issues at the seams, then it may help to temporally slice up your comp into segments by duplicating it as often as needed and then removing the parts from it that won't be visible in that segment. You can then reassemble the segments in a parent comp. This in particular helps with 3D comps and 2D comps with a lot of motion where e.g. motion blur calculations can considerably increase render times. It also helps with comps where you use certain third party effects like Particular, since they may still do their calculations even if stuff is not on screen.

How do I turn off graphic effect of Open File dialog box?

There is a graphic effect in OSX 10.4.11 of a slot appearing in the top of the window of programs like Safari 4.1.3 and then an 'Open file..' dialog box emerges from the slot and warps downwards. This is almost guaranteed to crash my Mac!
Please, how can I turn off this effect?
Thanks!
[You don't need to read any further but my problem relates to an archived thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1313995?start=0&tstart=0
In brief, the thread is about some of the old white Imacs over-heating and causing graphics problems.
I still have a largely useable Imac because I avoid using any graphic effects that cause system crashes: Dock graphic effects, Genie minimise feature, Exposé, and full-screen video feature in Youtube.}

I wonder if Quartz isn't the problem & using the Safe Boot driver...
See this great post by themachead on how to list the extensions in Safe Mode with System Profiler then compare to the extension folder!

Civil 3D 2011 Drawing file layers are off but show up in preview and final PDF

I am using a Windows 7 64-bit, Acrobat 10.1, Autocad Civil 3D 2011
In a site plan drawing we are trying to create PDF's of files that have xref's attached. The title block (an xref) is in paper space and the site plan xref is in model space.
When turn off certain layers from the site plan as viewed from paper space to remove clutter and then go to make a PDF. After getting it set up to print, and going to the preview the layers we have turned off appear in the preview and if we go ahead and make the PDF those layers turned off will show up.
We have made sure "Visretain=1" but the layers still show up. If we open the xref by itself and turn off the same layers and go through the PDF process they do NOT show up in the preview or the final PDF.
I have installed Acrobat 10.1 but that did not fix the problem either.
Any suggestion is appreciated!
Thanks!

Not yet - Acrobat X is the current version, and support for PDFMaker plugins is usually only updated in major releases, especially where the integration is complex (as it is with ACAD).
An x64 operating system isn't a problem, but x64 applications are - Acrobat is a 32-bit program and I expect it will remain so for several more years, so plugging it into the internals of 64-bit primary applications is a horrible job for the engineering team.

All layers turning off when selecting layers.

I'm sure this is discussed elsewhere, but I can't find anything…
I keep having this thing happen where when I go to turn on a layer (layers pallet, the little eyeball icon), all the other layers turn off. Then I have to go back and turn on just the ones I meant to be on. Causes me problems in large multi layer documents… risks embarrassing errors.
I'm sure this is a feature, but I can't figure out what causes it to happen, and how to stop it from happening. Or for that matter going back to the previous state. Feels to me like a "mis-click" or stutter from using a Wacom.
Any ideas?

Like R_Kelly said, it is the normal behavior if you hold the option key.
If the option key is not stuck, it reminds me of an old bug, that has been cured by an update.
Check that you are running Ps 12.0.4 or 12.1, or run the updater: http://adobe.ly/PS-Up-To-Date
If you are running the lastest version, you might want to re-create your preferences, per : http://adobe.ly/PS_Prefs

Turning off visual effects for performance purposes

I've recently started using a Mac. I've been a PC user all my life, so I'm unfamiliar with how my new machine works.
I'm going to be using this computer for audio recording, and with that, I want as much power out of my computer as I can get. I know with Windows, there are ways to turn off visual effects, like window shadows and things like that in order to save processing power for other things. Is there a way to strip down OS X in the same way?

back in the day (OS 7/8/9) you had what was called t he extension manager. when i would work in cubase i had an extension set that was stripped down - similar to what you are asking.
now things are different. OS X is very efficient.
the only thing you need to do is only run the apps you need to have open (don't have mail, internet, etc. running while recording)
there are 3rd party apps that will remove window shadows, etc. - but I don't think it is necessary.
Max out your ram, and only run the apps you need running and you should be fine.

I have a problem that my phone only vibrates but does NOT ring any more. No matter what I try to do with settings turning off "silent" or whatever nothing helps. Do I need to reset. what are the consequences of resetting?

What a numpty! Yes of course you're right.
Couldn't find the answer when searching the forum but then came accross this.
Next dumb question coming up! :-(

Yes I have turned imessage off a number of times and that does not seem to he doing the trick, and it is not delivering them then I have to press on the photo and either chose try again or send as text message, I have had the setting on to not allow sending pictures as texts (so they can only send as imessage) since I got my phone in January and it has always worked until now, I have turned that off to allow me to send them as picture messages now but it's still not working over iMessage, I have also tried it using 3G and not wifi

There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

My ipad froze while updating cant turn off, any suggestions

my ipad froze during update. cant turn off. any suggestions?

If you're sure that the update isn't still happening then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Turn off animation effects to prevent nausea?

I've spent an hour poking through the forums, but couldn't find this issue addressed (maybe I'm using the wrong keywords), anyway:
I just got an iPod Touch yesterday and while I love it in theory, in practice I can't use it for more than a few minutes without getting motion sickness from all the sliding and flipping when switching between screens and momentum scrolling. Is there a way to turn off these effects or reduce them? I would like to be able to use this device without wanting to vomit for hours afterward just because of interface animations.

Thanks for the responses (well, most of them -- I'm not getting drugged up because Apple can't design their operating system without "bling," heh).
It's not the finger brushing. I have a similar (unfortunate) reaction to modern computer games with moving 3D graphics (e.g. first-person shooters and those explore-your-surroundings type of games).
I have turned off the effects in apps like Stanza, but unfortunately just navigating the apps and reading my mail (unnecessary sliding pages) is barf-inducing.
Rats. I can scroll as long as I don't lift my finger so the momentum scrolling isn't engaged, but I'd really like to get rid of the sliding effects when switching between screens/home pages.

Ipod wont turn off((any suggestions))

my ipod nano will not turn off no matter how long i hold the button.i will only turn off if i set the sleep time.can somebody help please???
thanx =]

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you tried resetting your iPod? (hold menu and center buttons together for 7 seconds. Do this a few times)
Does it now work after resetting? Also, whenever you are having difficulties with your iPod responding to button-pressing, put your iPod down on a flat hard surface (like a desk), then click your button(S). See if it works.
Go to "Settings> Main Menu" and turn the Sleep button "on". Go back to your back the main menu again, and see if the "Sleep" button will work if you click it. If it does, that's your temporary fix.
I hope those things will help you!

Try a restore. If that does not work, you probably have a hardware issue.
