My dock is not smooth when it hides and unhides

I noticed that when I have many icons in the dock, it's real chunky when I move the mouse over it. Is there any fix to that? When I first installed 10.4, the dock moved really smooth- now it's not- could this be because I have too many icons?

Another I've also found is to Update the prebindings.
In an Admin account Launch Terminal and type this command
sudo update_prebinding -force -root /
This will force the update of prebindings and optimise your system.
Put up what your Page in/outs are though, it could be that lack of memory is causing general system sluggishness.

Background is not smooth when rendered video

Hi,
I am trying to render a background which I applied from "textures". Problem with with it is... it is not smooth when i play it back.. it kinda stops and plays again.
i tried.. filed options (even/odd/none), changed size... nothing happens.. it is still not smooth. the frame rate is 29.97 and i will be using the clip in FCP 4.5.
can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

As far as I know there isn't any way to change the codec that LiveType uses on its render. Even if there was I'd probably still use the Animation Codec.
Even though your exported LT movie may not play back smoothly when you watch it in QuickTime, it should be smooth in your FCP project once it's been rendered out to tape or a more compressed format.

Photoshop CS6 is not responding when leaving PS and coming back again

A weired problem: My new installation of Photoshop CS6 (OS X Mavericks on a new MBP) is not responding when leaving PS and coming back again.
Example: i open a new file in PS - then i click on the desktop - when i go back to PS again, it is not responding to any click on any window (except for the menu bar).
I can solve the problem when i try going back several times or when i go back to PS via the icon in the dock.
But it is still very annoying in a quick workflow.
I would appreciate any idea what i can check more, cause i tried everything and i can’t find this issue on the web…
Thanks…

Problem solved… The troublemaker was the Trackball Works Driver for Kensington trackballs / Expert Mouses…
I’m now using a generic driver for USB devices and everything is fine.

You need to connect to iTunes and restore.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
You may need to put the device into recovery mode, this is covered in the link on this page.
Did you back up the device?

My MacBook Pro, running 10.7.3, does not recognize when my iPhone and iPad are on the same network, thus it does not synch. Any ideas?

Try the basics first:
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

Photoshop CC. Colour selection not working when using alt and brush.

Hi, Photoshop CC. Windows 8.1 64 bit. Colour selection not working when using alt and brush. I have tried rebooting and other things like closing swatch panel etc.
The alt key is otherwise OK. It's not the recent upgrade from Win 8 to 8.1 (5 days ago) because the colour selection facility was working yesterday. Any ideas.

I'd say things sound desperate enough to try resetting Preferences
Reset Preferences
Windows — Hold down Shift Ctrl Alt immediately after starting Photoshop
Mac — Hold down Shift Cmd Opt immediately after starting Photoshop
If that fails, we need to know your operating system?
Do you have a full CC subscription, or by apps do you mean Photoshop, Bridge and Lightroom?
Another other information that might pertain ?

How do I hide and unhide photos in Photos for Mac

How do I hide and unhide photos in Photos for Mac ? Also, how do I delete an Album ? It appears that Photos is a work in progress that is only about 10% done. The Help in Photos is essentially useless. Where can I find the equivalent of a manual or instruction book?

How do I hide and unhide photos in Photos for Mac ?
You can hide photos in the Photos view, but not in the albums:
Select some photos, ctrl-click, select "Hide". Unhide from the Hidden Album.
Also, how do I delete an Album
You can only delete albums that you created, not the built-in albums.
Select the album in the Sidebar. Ctrl-click it. Select "Delete Album".
The Help in Photos is essentially useless. Where can I find the equivalent of a manual or instruction book?
I have not read this book yet, but the series is usually very good:

What are the mysterious keys for hide and unhide programs?

There is a strange symbol next to the apple symbol that is part of the hide and unhide short cut keys.
I cannot find what these are after searching help, studying the keys and asking several people.
This must be so obvious it escapes me!
I have the new photoshop elements and it doesn't have the minimize buttons so I need to hide it.
Help!

AH! Yes. I guess I never made the connection before because I never use Command-H. I've had a multi-button mouse since the Stone Age, and have always had one button assigned to Option-click, so have always hidden apps by a middle button click on the Desktop. Also I almost never use Command-H to hide selections in Photoshop because I tend to forget I did that and then get frustrated when something like the clone tool doesn't work because I'm cloning outside the selected area.
After reading the blog entry you sent I started experimenting to see which "normal" conventions Elements wasn't following, and, since hiding and unhiding was the topic at hand.... BTW, thanks for the link to the blog. I had never really thought about many of those idiosyncrasies before, like fly-out menus for instance.

Hide and unhide panel

I have many panel in one screen. Each panel has buttons, labels and etc. So how to hide and unhide every panel?
Thank you

Sort of like minimizing...
let say the real size of panel is 400 x 400 pixel, then i want to minimize to 400 x 20 pixel.
But the panel is dynamic, i can maximize and minimize again and again...
Thank you.

Red Timeline Box is not smooth when sliding

In the editing mode, I am selecting the red timeline to move
the timeline throughout the time of the slide. The movement of the
red line jumps around and is not smooth. When selecting the play
button, The slide works but you see the timeline stops and then
jumps to another time on the slide. It is not smooth. Is there a
setting that I am missing? Has anyone else run into this issue?
Thanks!

I'm going to stick my beak in here and suggest that the
timeline editor function (I'm assuming Cap 4) has a problem. What
pbissaillon is trying to do is exactly what made me make my first
post to this forum. Our issue came about when we tried to grab the
playhead and drag it over audio to try and find the synch point for
highlight boxes, and on the third or 4th occasion the screen would
whiteout leaving only the highlight boxes on screen and Cap would
become unresponsive. But before this happened we could see that the
playhead would slow, judder or even stop if it came across a
timestrip relating to a highlight box in the timeline. We'd then
shutdown the project and if we tried to reload would be rewarded
(randomly) with a message "QuizEdit.dll not present (previous
response =8)". [We had no quiz slides in project so this was odd].
The only way out was to close Cap wait till the buffers were
flushed and then reload Cap for a retry - this naturally was a real
pain.
However, one other posting about audio difficulties has led
Adobe to suggest a workaround consisting of re-registering the
nsaudio dll. When we've got a moment I'm going to create a
one-slide project to replicate the problem and try hand
re-registering both QuizEdit and nsaudio and see where we go. In
the meantime if Rick you would kindly rehighlight the bug link I
will send a test project to Adobe.
Sorry to be a bit wordy,
Regards,
Henry

5K screen not smooth when scrolling

When i scroll down on my 5K screen it is jumpy and not smooth (and such that i get very tired eyes and can actually see the jumping happening so it is apparently slow in adjusting)
Any suggestions what to do?

Amazing i've been told this is how the 5K screen looks and it is 'normal behaviour'. I get a headache working behind my 5K, i can see text and photo's jump and screetch into position, reading can only be done on a steady screen (and then too it is jumpy) and all simply visible with my own bare eyes. If this is normal it is a faulty product.
I am now discussing with my supplier exchanging 5K for regular iMac so i can work again. Totally disappointed in the 5K, i have this for work not for art! If i had known this i would NEVER have bought a 5K. And i also believe the 5K should not be out there, technology is apparently not there yet for this massive retina screen. Have Ipad2 with retina screen and that is beautiful, works absolutely fantastic.

My Face Time icon in dock does not show how many calls I have missed. It should show the number similar to the email system(a red number appears on the stamp icon). How can I rectify this problem?

Spin behavior with particles emitter not smooth when close to camera

Hello,
Just got Motion 4 and was playing with it last night with the particle system.
http://idisk.mac.com/pixmation/Public/motionParticlesTest.png
As you can see in the screen shot, I have an emitter spinning and moving towards past the camera emitting particles at zero speed (leaving a trail). As it get close to the camera, the particle curve is not smooth. I am wondering if this is some kind of limitation or am I missing some setting?
Thanks in advance,
Edmond Leung

Without seeing a screenshot of the behavior settings, I'm gonna say that the problem is how you're animating the position of the emitter. You should look into the Motion Path behavior. I think it's much better suited to a curving animation.
It's certainly not a limitation of the software.
