Why does CC have so many other programs and processes with it?

Since downloading CC, my computer has become noticeably slower, running processes like
3 Adobe CEF Helpers at a time, even with no adobe apps open, sometimes using up to or above 10% CPU
Core Sync that never goes away, usually taking up about 2% of CPU
Adobe Creative Cloud always runs as a background process
Adobe IPC Broker, always running
Adobe Acrobat Update Service, always running
Creative Cloud Helper Application, always running
AdobeARMservice
What is all this stuff and is there any way that it really does't have to be slowing my computer down SO much?

Most of those processes don't slow down your system, they just reside in memory. The rest is one of those "Mmmh...?" things - without actual system info those percentages are meaning less and them being so high to me means that your system must be somewhat weak overall. The CoreSync naturally is tied to the various sync features and you can turn those off if you don't need them. The CEF helpers and various updaters can simply be turned off in the CC app settings and updater settings - there is no need to launch the CC app every time you start your computer if you don't actually plan on updating something or using the cloud storage.

Why do I have so many problems streaming movies to atv from I-tunes and Netflix ?

Often in the evenings we have so many disruptions it's hardly worth renting the movie. Last night we rented from I-tunes the latest mission impossible and it took over 3 hours to watch a little over 2 hour movie. My Internet connection 20 mps so I don't think that's the problem. In another room we have Roku and have not experienced problems with it. Does anyone know if the problem is with APTV and what can be done to fix it? Has anyone else had the same problem?

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

Why does Apple have so many other languages into their devices but Swahili language from East Africa isn't added? Could somebody help me answer this question please? Thanks!

Hopefully someone inside Apple will see this and help us People that are using Apple devices but we do not have the option to change to our own language. Please Apple People look into this and consider it as a lot of people speaking Swahili are using apple products. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Why does Firefox have a constant problem finding servers?

Firefox is constantly unable to find servers, even after succesfully loading a web page. When I hit reload it scampers off and finds the server immediately (most of the time -- occasionally I have to punch it twice), but if I leave the tab open, sure as death and taxes, the message will reappear after a while. It doesn't matter what website I am on. Also, I have recently lost the ability to right click on a blank spot on a page and select "reload every ____", where I could select from a variety of time intervals for the page to reload automatically. Before this feature quit, when I had it enabled there seemed to be fewer "can't find server" episodes, but perhaps it was just that the reload would hit every once in a while and the server would miraculously appear.
I would dearly love to fix this. It has not happened in previous versions of Firefox. (I assume I have the latest version, because it updates automatically.) I don't like IE and Chrome is so cheerfully nosy that I rarely use it.
I have talked to others who have had this problem to the extent that they don’t use Firefox anymore. I have used it practically since the begats and I don’t want to jump ship. Please help.

Note that Firefox uses the "chrome://" protocol to access its own internal files and also access files from extensions, so that has nothing to do with Google Chrome.
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Chrome
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Why does BC have so many issues in the data center?

It just seems there are site connection and email problems way too often? I just don't have much confidence in up-time promises my clients need. Is this something engineering is trying to address or are there big changes going on that are causing temporary instability?

Thank you for your "copy and paste" reply. It is very obvious that you did NOT read my original post.
If you had you would have noticed:
a) I stated: "I run the default theme"
and that
b)I stated: "I have disabled "hardware acceleration""
c)I stated: "changed the value for "dom.max_script_run_time" to 20 "
(both of which are in response to the linked help article that you recommended - and neither of which did any good)
d) I also stated: "The only plugin I use is Flash"
(which is the latest up-to-date version and if Firefox cannot run with Flash it is of no use as a browser)
I will try "Safe Mode" and post how that works after browsing Facebook - but it should not be necessary to do this.
I had reported similar issues with Firefox two or three builds back (Firefox 19.0.2) then the issue was fixed for a couple of builds - and now with the release of Firefox 22.0 (on Mac) it is as bad or worse than ever.

Why does Firefox have so many unresposive script errors?

Firefox 22.0 (on Mac) seems to be a dog. It continually stops responding and gives so many "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding" errors.
Either Facebook have done something, or there is an incompatibility between Flash, Firefox and Facebook or something. (Flash 11.7.700.225)
I have had this before with other Firefox builds - but this time it is occurring multiple times each time I am on Facebook
Thinking of trying Chrome if this keeps up - although I am reluctant to hand yet even more privacy info over to Google.
The only plugin I use is Flash. I run the default theme, and the only add-ons I have are Adblock Plus 2.2.4, Adblock Plus Pop-up Add-on 0.8 and the English (Australian) Dictionary 2.1.2
I wish each so-called 'security upgrade' came with a message that 'this version is a dog' - it is not only causing issues it is not compatible and has disable my "Easy Youtube Video Downloader 6.8"
As per the Mozilla Help I have disabled "hardware acceleration" and also changed the value for "dom.max_script_run_time" to 20 - neither helped in any way.
Far from happy Mozilla

Why does FF4.0 experience hang problems when the latest version of the Adobe Flash plugin is enabled?

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version of Adobe Flash plugin, determined that this is the only version of the plugin recognized by FF, and determined that there is no Adobe extension running. The hang problems occur when opening most all web pages or when clicking on the sidebar and last for 10 to 30+ seconds. If the plugin is disabled, then there are no hang problems.

New plugins have never been downloaded automatically by Firefox, but Firefox scans the registry to search for new plugins.

Why does Firefox have to make it so difficult to get answers--I am not going to be able to check the website to see what anyone might reply to my question on crashing?

I have no way of checking to see if anyone answers this. Why does Firefox have to make it so difficult?
What does this means: DLL C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\MOZCRT19.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.
Suddenly all my tabs closed. Then Windows told me I had a gazillion infections. Then a tiny strip appeared saying it was Firefox and these little blocks started to fill up the little strip as if it were downloading something--there was no way to cancel this so I cut the power. Now when I try to use the Firefox icon, I get the message above.
Am I supposed to remove the old Firefox stuff and start from scratch? I am stuck using Internet Explorer.
I went to the Firefox website and tried to download it again, but McAffee jumped in and said there is something wrong with Firefox and I should register with them that I am downloading Firefox (I do not have McAffee). Then I got a security warning saying Firefox is not safe.
I am completely at a loss as to what to do next, since I don't understand any of this mumbojumbo.

Here's the story on one of your infections, namely JS:Redirector-EH[Trj]: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Trojan%3aJS%2fRedirector.H
The main problem with malware is that it uses the installation to proliferate by contacting hostile servers to download more of the same rogue code.
Firefox doesn't have the option to "Run" a file. You can only "Save File" or "Cancel". If you downloaded it with IE8, then yes, you can run it, but that's not what I wanted you to do.
What you should do now is to disable System Restore. You can open System Properties by hitting the Windows logo key and Pause/Break key together. Then click the "System Restore" tab. Then checkmark the box which says "''Turn off System Restore on all drives''". Reboot to clear its contents. System Restore unfortunately makes a backup of all executables which includes viruses so that when you reboot without deleting them first, System Restore reinstates them again.
After you complete that step, run Avast and Malwarebytes again to make sure the system is clean.
Then go to the Windows Update site (link on your start menu) and install the missing patches which enabled your machine to become infected in the first place.
Once the system is clean, repeat step one to download Firefox again, but please do not run the file. If you don't see the option to "Save File", cancel the download, but it should be there. You can use this direct download link to download FF4.0.1 [http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-4.0.1&os=win&lang=en-US Download Firefox 4.0.1]
Run the file after you download it to the desktop.

Adobe Presenter - Why does Adobe have to be this difficult

Well, today I wanted to sign up to use Presenter...... I did my 30 days and I WAS ready to make a commitment!!!! That was until I went to make my commitment and Presenter is NOT listed anywhere!!! So how am I to purchase this product when it's NOT an option.
Even more so, when I try and contact Adobe to get some help, this is the only place I can go!!!!
Why does it have to be this difficult? Why can I not contact someone that can help me????
I guess maybe I need to more on to Articulate. I'm sure they would be happy to take my money!

Android.process.acore? What is this and why does it keep not working?

Help: I've had my Lucid 3 phone since May and this phone has been the most confusing thing to operate. I'm currently having three (3) issues:
The Wi-Fi is not working...I keep getting the symbol refreshing. I can't turn the Wi-Fi on or off. I read "Turning Wi-Fi on..." when I go to the setting for Wi-Fi but this has been going on for 3 hours. C'mon! My Wi-Fi at home is working great; that's how I'm writing this post. Help!
To add to the misery: I keep getting a pop-up notification that reads: "Unfortunately, the android.process.acore has stopped." What is this and why does it not work. The phone's been getting this message for a week now...help!
Last concern: I'm still not getting multimedia texts (particularly pictures). The data and Wi-Fi were on...well, that's when the Wi-Fi was working (please refer to complaint #1 above). What the heck?
This phone is terrible news and I can't wait to replace it. In the meantime, the phone needs to work. Help.
-Salo

We certainly want to clear up all the confusion and have a working phone in your hands, srodezno. Let's take this one issue at a time:
1. How long ago did this trouble with WiFi start? Are you able to connect to any alternate WiFi signals other than the one at home?
2. Do you get that notification when you access anything in particular? Did it begin when you updated or installed any application?
3. Are you still able to access other data services (web, apps, Play Store, etc) while the WiFi is off/not working? Are you able to send the MMS messages?

Why does it have to be tethered???

Hi, So I'm just about ready to buy the ipad. But I am having a big problem understanding WHY this thing cannot be used in my household, because my 2 apples run Tiger. If its a matter of an occasional update, I could take it to work to do that. I phoned the apple store, the rep said It can't work or sync without Leopard within my home wireless network. I also have within my wireless network 2.5 terabit of hard-drive and the rep was unsure if the ipad could see that either...
Both of my computers are pre Intel processor, so I read that leopard & snow leopard are out of the question on my computers.
If this is suppose the be the next big thing, Why does it have to be tethered to ANY computer. This IS sold as a wireless device, NOT an extension to another computer. Am I getting bad info or what.
Please advise.

Hi,
All is not lost, I think. It's true that you'll need either Leopard or a Windows machine with the latest iTunes in order to get the iPad going. But you're right, you can just do that at work. The iPad will work perfectly after that without ever synching it again. You can do everything from the iTunes store from the iPad itself.
However, if you want to synch your music not bought at iTunes, as well as iPhone apps and contacts then you're going to have to find a compatible computer to do it on. It needs the latest iTunes which doesn't run on Tiger. But once you've synched you don't really need to do it again unless you want to add a lot of music from another source than iTunes. Of course, synching also backs up the iPad, don't forget.
As far as the gigundo drive, if the iPad doesn't recognize it, all you have to do is copy what you want synched to a smaller drive (or even a DVD) and use that instead.
Hope that helps. The iPad is most definitely an independent device but it does need a compatible computer if you want to synch stuff to it from elsewhere.

Why does Java have such a large footprint?

I've been curious about this topic for a while, but I haven't ever looked into this to any depth. I also posted this to stackoverflow but haven't gotten any solid responses so far:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1107991/why-does-java-have-such-a-large-footprint
Java - or at least Sun's Hotspot JVM - has long had a reputation for having a very large memory footprint. What exactly is it about the JVM that gives it this reputation? I'd be interested in a detailed breakdown: how much memory goes to the runtime? (The JIT? The GC/memory management? The classloader?) Anything related to "auxiliary" APIs like JNI/JVMTI? The standard libraries? (Which parts get how much?) Any other major components?
I realize that this may not be straightforward to answer without a concrete application plus VM configuration, so just to narrow things down at least somewhat: I'm primarily interested in default/typical VM configurations, and in a baseline console "Hello world" app as well as any real-world desktop or server app. (I'm suspecting that a substantial part of the JVM's footprint is largely independent of the app itself, and it is in this part that I'd like to zoom in, ideally.)
I have a couple of other closely related questions:
Other similar technology, such as .NET/mono, don't exhibit nearly the same footprint. Why is this the case?
I've read somewhere on the intarwebs that a large portion of the footprint is due simply to the size of the standard libraries. If this is the case, then why is so much of the standard libraries being loaded up front?
Are there any efforts (JSRs, whatever) to tame the memory footprint? The closest thing I've come across is a project to reduce the on-disk footprint of the JVM [1] and to modularize the standard library [2].
I'm sure that the footprint has varied over the past decade or so with every new version of Java. Are there any specific numbers/charts chronicling precisely how the JVM's footprint has changed?

Presumably versus some other VM. I would suppose the fact that much of the VM is written in java has something to do with it.

Not sure I agree with that. What size do you see with a .Net app that uses 3.0/3.5?
I've read somewhere on the intarwebs that a large portion of the footprint is due simply to the size of the standard libraries. If this is the case, then why is so much of the standard libraries being loaded up front?
Good question. There is a feature that allows multiple VMs to use the same memory footprint version of the loaded libraries. That is a new feature and it isn't clear to me if it covers the entire API. I do not know if that is dynamically built.

What can I do in Adobe that I can't in FCPX? + Why does FCPX have a bad reputation

Somewhere else, I was told that disgruntled Apple users where going to Adobe and leaving FCPX
Why is this?
What can be done in the Adobe suite of programs that isn't handled well in FCPX?
Is FCPX an all in one solution?
Does it allow me to do everything that can be done in After Effects for example? (I ask without actually knowing what After Effects is for - I've just heard it mentioned looadds)
Why does FCPX have a bad reputation?
I've read that it's not backwards compatible with previous version
That *****! But... doesn't effect me as I'm coming in as a new user
Thanks

Different editors have different needs, and while FCP X offers some really innovative features it lacks other things that some editors need in order to be competitive/get work in their environment. It is not just what you can actually edit (read: tell a story) with a piece of software but also about format support, workflows, collaboration to name just a few.
FCP X is an editor with a few effects built in, in addition to which you can get Compressor for output and Motion for VFX. Adobe actually offers a whole suite of products that range from editing to VFX, from color grading to Blu-Ray authoring.

FCP X is not an all-in-one solution. As I said above it is an editor with a few built-in effects and titles.
After Effects is for visual effects, green screen .... stuff like that. It is quite powerful but does not actually have anything to do with editing itself (that is Premiere)

Because when it was released many features that editors were relying on/accustomed to were missing (XML support to name only one at random) which caused many to switch to Adobe or Avid. That fact that some of these features were added back in subsequent updates didn't really seem to repair the damage.
Since you are a new user get the trial version and give it a go. You will need a fast machine with lots of RAM and fast external storage.

OMG, this sucks! why does FF4 have so many problems?
