Noisy fans kicking in with the new RAM upgrade

Hello, today I installed 8gb of RAM replacing the 2gb I previously had (both were 4 sticks). I placed a pair on each board and it all seems to work fine.... then while I am sitting in the other room, it sounds like the computer is about to launch itself.... yes it was my computer and not a fancy truck outside... so it seems that for the first time, the machine decided it needed extra cooling. it lasted about a minute. and according to my wife happened a few times today.
I expect this is ok.... but is it? does 8gb RAM really generate more heat? Could I have done something wrong? System profiler reports all is well and as expected...
Thanks for any words of wisdom or advise...

Play with smcfan to see - a 200 rpm boost like 800 is just enough, 1000 and you can start to hear it clearly but mild. Prevents heat from building. When it goes into sleep, that allows the heat to build up and not get pushed out, so it may run wild for 10-45 seconds on wake from sleep from time to time, and perfectly safe and normal, even healthy.
(There was an SMC firmware update in Sept '07 to improve and correct SMC and fan behavior.).
There are more pages with tips on how to test memory, but start with Apple Hardware Test; run Rember or Memtest; and monitor temps with something. Sys Profile will tell you - since last boot - if there are errors of any kind.
Good airflow and the back side really needs a place for all that very hot air to go, even more so in the summer (unless you keep the room icy) is critical.

Withe the new photo upgrade, why can't I edit in Photoshop anymore?

I just upgraded to the new photo upgrade and I can't edit in Photoshop anymore!!! Help????

I just upgraded to the new photo upgrade and I can't edit in Photoshop anymore!!! Help????
External Photo Editors are not supported in Photos. You can export any photo to the Desktop and then pass them the Photoshop for editing and reimport them.
The problem is, that Photos is a completely new designed photo application, designed for Yosemite and the MacOS X versions to come. Many differences are under the hood. It uses the new system libraries and frameworks for more efficient image processing on the new powerful macs, like the mac pro, it is extensible by app extensions, if other developers will add functionality, and most important, it brings integration with iCloud Photo Library. Photoshop and other external editors have not yet been upgraded to support this. I hope, the updates will come soon.
Some features are still missing however, and you can continue to use iPhoto, if you like. Or create a small Photos library for testing and explore Photos, while keeping your main libraries in iPhoto.

Why do all my brushes "lag" with the new 2014 upgrade when they perform fine in regular CC?

After upgrading to the new 2014 version of Photoshop today, I've noticed that all of my brushes and painting tools have considerable "lag" time. Switch back over to the previous Photoshop CC and the brushes don't lag at all. I've tinkered with the performance settings in 2014 but nothing affects the lag-time.
Thoughts?

Some folks are experiencing a slowdown with the latest version of Photoshop, while others aren't. Adobe engineering is looking into it, and are asking for system details from folks experiencing the problem.
Please see this post for the information requested:
Re: Photoshop CC 2014 is MUCH slower than Photoshop CC in a side-by-side comparison.

Is anyone else dissatisfied with the new lollipop upgrade?

I'm frustrated with the lollipop change to silence (mute) phone procedure! And also frustrated that I can't find any DETAILED description of the upgrade changes to my phone and how to access/use them. Anyone else?

I am incredibly upset with the lollipop and kitkat upgrade. I had a brand new S5 I bought in February. When the first time I upgraded it the phone started to have issues. It was only 2 months old. It would lock up continuously, overheat, delay or not even send out my text messages until the phone was hard reset or rebooted. I even did a factory reset on the phone and the problems still existed. My contacts would throw an error as well and need to be shut down.
I went to the my local Verizon store and told them my issues with the phone after the upgrade. All they were able to do was send me out a refurbished replacement phone while the phone is under warranty. I think that if the phone needs to be replaced that at least you should receive a new phone instead of a refurbished one. Especially seeing that I had absolutely no problem with the original phone until i updated it with lollipop and kitkat. the old phone was never dropped or damaged in any way. it even had a life proof case on it!
I currently have a "new" refurbished phone from Verizon. and it came with the original OS on it. I have refused the updates now for 2 weeks. and it seems as if the phone is acting up a little bit after every time I refuse to update it. But it still is nothing like how the other phone acted after the update!

With the new premiere upgrade, does one need speedgrade

If you haven't watched the videos on the new Premiere, I suggest you do it. Most of the updates have to do with coloring, and it looks flat out amazing. I am still on trial and I came from Final Cut. I'm trying to decide to get the whole package for 50 a month or premiere for 20 a month. I already have the 10 dollar a month photoshop. This would save me 20 bucks a month. I am not going to use any of the other apps. I use Logic Pro for recording music, I wouldn't use audition. I am a photographer mostly but I know enough about video as a hobbyist in video to make it look halfway decent.
When I looked at the new features, I seen it has the lumetri scopes like speed grade, the same looking color wheels, film stocks, a panel similar to lightroom or speed grade when it comes to saturation and all of that, basically sliders.
I don't know if I'm allowed to post links in this forum, but google it and watch the video on it. I realize there is a lot speed grade can do that still won't be in here. But for a basic person like me, that is using speed grade to just do basic grades, nothing technical, this appears to have everything I use in speed grade. I am amazed they put that much stuff in one update. It even has simple things, like the type of vignette you can do in lightroom.

I understand that, as in some may still need SpeedGrade for specific things, however, when looking at the new premiere, it seems those specific things would be complex things that I don't do. I'll give an example, if you see what Colorista iii does, that's about as far as I know how to take color grading. It looks to me like the new premiere will have those features colorista has. Which is basically like Speed Grade but maybe not quite as complex.

How come my Mac read my Ram as 24 GB when I installed four 8 GB RAM into my system and booted through safe boot, since my Mac won't boot normally with the new Ram, but will only boot if I add the two 2GB with two 8GB?

Oh and I'm using Kingston RAM too this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007TGZ4UY/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&p sc=1

Macs are extremely sensitive to their ram...even when memory paging is not used, the memory modules still have to be very close in their timing and latency and other specifications. That is why John and Michel and Mike and Mende and I all gave you the same advice, advice based on years of experience. There are a couple memory suppliers who are Mac specialists, know Macs, and test their products to see that they perform correctly in Macs. The two best are OWC and Crucial, plenty of links given above.
We all have said the same thing with regard to other brands, they are not reliable and are regular sources of problems encountered on here. It is very unusual to have positive feedback from users buying ram from Amazon or eBay...we see pretty much a 100% failutre rate from users doing that.
Listen to our advice, get the amount of ram supported by your iMac, from a reliable source. There isn't much else we can tell you as the memory you now have is not working.

No, it does not. It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer. The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

Are they selected to sync? Is Manually Manage content on the device selected?

What does that have to do with syncing content to the device? FYI, nothing.

I can't access this secure website with the new fireforx upgrade but I could before the upgrade.

As above. What can I say-I have tried everything listed on the support forum website. I had no problem accessing this secure website, which is my work email, before I upgraded to Firefox 4.0. I would prefer not have to go back to the previous version if possible. I don't like IE because it is just too slow, but right now I have to use it to access this website. I have windows firewall and have allowed firefox.exe as an exception. Any suggestions as this is very frustrating. Thanks

You should be able to use the OpenVPN Connect app running on your iPad to connect your iPad to the VPN directly. It is an official OpenVPN client for iOS devices.
In what way is it "not compatible"? Have you tried it? Tunnelblick is an OpenVPN client, so your school's VPN is using the OpenVPN protocol. That means any OpenVPN client should be able to access it. (It is possible, but unlikely, that your school uses encryption that is not available on the iPad, but that would be very unusual.)
Otherwise, a remote control app on your iPad would let you control your Mac at home. "Back to My Mac", for example, would allow you to control your Mac remotely. The tricky part of this is that usually a VPN is set up to send all Internet traffic via the VPN server, and I'm not sure how that would work with "Back to My Mac".

I have a 24 bit external DAC/ Amplifier connected to the optical output on my new iMac. I just upgraded to Yosemite and noticed instead of 96000 hz output it has gone down to 41000hz and won't allow me to adjust this anymore with the new OS upgrade.

Hi as stated above, when i updated my OS system to Yosemite, i am no longer able to select audio quality above 41000hz. how can i fix this? ps i am connected to an external dad through optical which supports unto 96000hz.

Wow that was really quick, thank you so much. Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it. I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names. isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

I got a new macbook pro and am having a great deal of trouble with it from the start! But other than that, which I will get to, I have had macs since the one following Lisa and I am a diehard apple fan, yet now with the macbook pro and Lion and its

I could not download the upgrade to the mountain lion. my updates were taking an enormous amount of time for other programs. When I finally got the indication it was waiting to be downloaded I had to shut down. It was after 2 am and I was practically unconscious already with all the trauma of trying to find the right place for the redeem of the code to open the password. It was all confusing and poorly communicated by Apple. The terrible deterioration of Apple's written communications by non-American techies who can't write for easy understanding, even by this old time tech afficianado is heart-breaking and frustrating is putting the effects mildly. I have not yet gone back to the mac book pro to finish the job. I am too frustrated and unhappy with the new system. Also, I found out the hard way that my time capsule saved files on the macbook Snow Leopard, which still works fine after 6 years of use, is locked in that external drive and I cannot transfer the items except one by one or by folders on that computer to a DVD or to a flash drive, to mport to this new computer. Because the systems are not the same, I can't access the files automatically. I fear I will have further problems with the mountain lion vs. lion in seeing those files. What can I do? What should I do? I am afraid to designate an external hard drive I purchased with the new laptop for the time capsule because then it won't work with any other computer. I read of terrible incompatibility issues and crashes and things not working right once Mountain Lion was installed and now I am terrified they will happen to me. I just wanted the computer to be as easy to use as all the other macs I have and have had and now it is more like a horribly complicated and difficult Microsoft IBM compatible PC. I hate this. Perhaps Apple wanted to appeal to new Apple users and tried to make them comfortable while disregarding the comfort of loyal Apple users? It's a sell-out. Meanwhile, I have to get senior tech people because the kids who try to answer my questions much of the time don't interpret what i am telling them and it takes a pro. Perhaps the kids can answer what I should do in preferenced to scroll the screen, since the scroll indicators disappear and I can't see them and have to resort to using the arrows on the keyboard, which is not the way I like to work. Please advise me about all of these things!

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

Performance with the new Mac Pros?

I sold my old Mac Pro (first generation) a few months ago in anticipation of the new line-up. In the meantime, I purchased a i7 iMac and 12GB of RAM. This machine is faster than my old Mac for most Aperture operations (except disk-intensive stuff that I only do occasionally).
I am ready to purchase a "real" Mac, but I'm hesitating because the improvements just don't seem that great. I have two questions:
1. Has anyone evaluated qualitative performance with the new ATI 5870 or 5770? Long ago, Aperture seemed pretty much GPU-constrained. I'm confused about whether that's the case anymore.
2. Has anyone evaluated any of the new Mac Pro chips for general day-to-day use? I'm interested in processing through my images as quickly as possible, so the actual latency to demosaic and render from the raw originals (Canon 1-series) is the most important metric. The second thing is having reasonable performance for multiple brushed-in effect bricks.
I'm mostly curious if anyone has any experience to point to whether it's worth it -- disregarding the other advantages like expandability and nicer (matte) displays.
Thanks.
Ben

Thanks for writing. Please don't mind if I pick apart your statements.
"For an extra $200 the 5870 is a no brainer." I agree on a pure cost basis that it's not a hard decision. But I have a very quiet environment, and I understand this card can make a lot of noise. To pay money, end up with a louder machine, and on top of that realize no significant benefit would be a minor disaster.
So, the more interesting question is: has anyone actually used the 5870 and can compare it to previous cards? A 16-bit 60 megapixel image won't require even .5GB of VRAM if fully tiled into it, for example, so I have no ability, a priori, to prove to myself that it will matter. I guess I'm really hoping for real-world data. Perhaps you speak from this experience, Matthew? (I can't tell.)
Background work and exporting are helpful, but not as critical for my primary daily use. I know the CPU is also used for demosaicing or at least some subset of the render pipeline, because I have two computers that demonstrate vastly different render-from-raw response times with the same graphics card. Indeed, it is this lag that would be the most valuable of all for me to reduce. I want to be able to flip through a large shoot and see each image at 100% as instantaneously as possible. On my 2.8 i7 that process takes about 1 second on average (when Aperture doesn't get confused and mysteriously stop rendering 100% images).

Still no full retina support, even with the new CC Apps?

Hello over there!
I just bought the full CC abo, after trying PS and Indesign and becoming a fan of the new workflow, that is possible with the upcoming new CC Apps (Muse, Edge Tools...).
Now, after getting things right and downloading the needed Apps to my Macbook Pro (15" Retina) - I was very disappointed. The updated CC version of Dreamweaver and even some of the completely new Apps still have blurry text fields and buttons/layout graphics in it. Acrobat Pro XI is still a laggy, blurry fail on retina. The Mac OS Preview is sharp and scrolls a 600 pages PDF in seconds.
I mean... Srsly? This would be okay if the retina MBP came out last month. But it came last year. I'm really a big fan of the Adobe workflow and functionality, this is why I upgraded and decided to spend some hundreds of dollars for it ( and become friends with the new and scary rent model ). But the best program is a pain, when your eyes start being overly stressed after 20 minutes of work, especially when you're already looking at hundres of code lines (And I'm 21 years old, so I'm glad to still have those good working eyes..). I remember when I fell totally in love with Dreamweaver because it was able to handle the amount of information in a good stucturized and clearly visible way. But the only really sharp and "look like it fits all together"-Apps are PS, AI and ID as far as I tried for now.
Definitely affected are: DW, Muse, Edge Animate and Reflow (What? They are new!?)
So, thats my question: Are there any official statements that this will be fixed? Im confused because Adobe is just partying about the retina-compatibility updates last fall/winter in blogs and descriptions. The blurry App elements are not mentioned. I really want to know this, to be able to take back my contract and abo in time and get a refund. Would be sad, but the only option to me.
Thanks very much for reading and helping in advance. I really do not want to troll or sound agressive. The Adobe Suite is a very very big product and it does very good. But I'm simply disappointed about the handling of retina support, which is essential for users like me.
English is not my main language, I hope everything was clear.
Best regards,
D. Fuchs

Hi David,
thank you for your effort. If I remember correctly you said you’ll also hand through this issue/question to the tech guys. Does this mean I’ll get further information? Because this article you found is about 10 month old and I’d like to get this issue verified.
Furthermore, Acrobat (XI) is not even mentioned in that article and this is what brings the most problems.
I really don’t like to be a stressing customer, but I think a official answer to this issue is definitely possible und should be made.
I’ll attach a few hardcopy pictures of the issue. Don’t know if it helps, but it proofs.
Thanks again and best regards,
D. Fuchs
