Photoshop lagging no matter what adjustments I make?
I've tried every possible solution from changing brush settings to memory allowances for Photoshop CC and I can't get rid of this lag. I've tried calling and putting with Adobe's crap IM to get help and that was probably the least helpful thing I've ever done. At this point, I'm angry that I even had to sit through the download because I can't make use of this program. At the very least, I didn't have to pay for it.
Can anyone offer an solutions? My laptop has the space for it so there shouldn't even be a problem.

I have tried many different combinations; not even the "restore to main default" button works. No matter what I do, the same set of homepages comes up the next time I load Firefox. I know there is a way to fix this - it happened to me once before, years ago - but I can't find the solution I used last time. (It might have been a mozdev page, but I didn't have any luck there, either.) I just installed Firefox 3.6.15 today, and tried again, still no luck. I've been messing with this for months now, trying to come up with a solution - please help?
Thank you so much cor-el, that did the trick. Getting rid of the user.js file was all it took. I knew the answer was a simple one, I just couldn't find it. I think I just wasn't asking the right questions.
Thanks again. -

I just took in my macbook to the apple store to clean the fan because it was starting make a little noise but instead of making it stop it sounds like an airplane about to take off all the time, it doesn't matter what i'm doing. I dont know what to do now? any ideas on how to make it stop?
take it back asap. If it wasn't doing it before they cleaned the fans, they may have accidentally done something that is causing this behavior.

Major Photoshop Lag - 2013 MacPro
Having some major Photoshop problems, and this is a BRAND NEW computer, just put into production...
I'm using Photoshop CC 2014.
Initially, everything works great. However, after working for about 30 min to 1 hour, or retouching about 15-20 images, the clone tool preview starts lagging heavily. The tool itself moves fine, but the preview only appears when I stop movement of the tool. It doesn't do this initially. Also, when this starts happening, just moving a small layer around also lags. It doesn't matter what size the file is either. The only way to fix it is to reset my preferences. However, after a short amount of time, it does it again.
Here is a list of things that I have tried but hasn't fixed the problem:
Disabled plugins.
Made sure my tablet driver was up to date.
Closed Photoshop and use Memory Clean to free up memory.
Rebooted Mac.
Did a hard reset on the Mac as well as cleared PRAM.
Ran the Apple Hardware Test (had no errors).
Unplugged any extra peripherals (wacom tablet, extra monitor, all external hard drives)
Uninstalled Photoshop CC 2014 and used the cleaner tool from Adobe to remove all files.
Adobe tech support had me make a new Mac admin account.Adobe tech also had me log in to root and try.Adobe tech checked my Photoshop settings, cache levels, graphics card settings etc.
Disabled any fonts other than system fonts.
Downloaded and installed older Photoshop CC version. (no extra brushes, plug-ins, actions etc. were installed).
Worked off of one monitor with minimal palettes open.
I feel like after trying all this stuff, it's definitely a bug in the program.
The KEY test here is the following:
I even sent my preferences file to a friend who also has a 2013 Mac Pro. When he uses my preferences file, his does the EXACT same thing. However, the difference being, when he goes back to his old preferences file, the problem doesn't come back like mine.
Again, I have tried Photoshop CC 2014 AND CC without any plug ins, extra brushes, actions, styles, shortcuts, etc. and it still does it.
I'm running a 2013 Mac Pro Quad 37 GHz CPU, which has dual Firepro D300's with 2GB video ram, and 12GB of 1866MHz DDR3 RAM. Mac was purchased brand new. OS is Yosemite 10.10.2
here's a video showing the exact problem... (working even on a low resolution .jpg which should be blinding fast)
http://youtu.be/IbOr-_30P5k
Adobe is trying to help, but getting nowhere, and this IS a problem, it's a brand new machine with a brand new install of the OS, and a fresh new user account, and a fresh install of CC2014, this should not be happening.
By simple process of elimination tests, this cannot be a hardware error or an OS error or anything of that nature, otherwise it would not replicate the problem on a friend's MacPro who I send my prefs file to... the fact that the prefs file replicates the problem, PROVES it's a problem with the adobe software. and a solution must be out there?
Thanks in advance for any help.Thank you for the reply, I appreciate it.
Now, interesting thing is, I know of two other Macpro's one 2013, and one an older quad-core macpro 4,1 both running 10.10.2 and neither of those have this issue?
and the other confusing part to me about this, is why would friend's 2013 Macpro NOT have this issue until using THIS prefs file, if it was an Apple thing?
thanks for your help!

Making A Row Of Thumbnails The Same Size As The Screen Monitor No Matter What Montior You Use
I am making a website and am trying to get the row of thumbnails/cells (which contain 5 thumbnails across each set in a cell) to be the same length as the screen monitor so that you do not have to scroll horizontally across to see more cells/thumbnails in the table.
Here is the thing. When I first started making tables, I was making actual pixels to fit MY screen size, but then I found when I looked at the website on another computer the tables came out different sizes (because of different size monitors I assume). So, I changed the tables from pixels to 100% and that seemed to do the trick. Whatever computer I pulled the website up on, the tables extend perfectly across the monitor screen to its fullest extent and without having to scroll horizontally.
The next part of the website involved adding thumbnails of images. So I made a table 6 rows across by 5 columns down. And I put a thumbnail in each cell, so that 5 thumbnails went across the row. I also set the table width to 100% just like I previously did for my heading table. When I tested it on a laptop computer it seemed perfectly fine and the 5 cells in the row extended across exactly to the length of the monitor. But, then when I opened it up on a desktop computer, I had a problem. What you see is 4 of the columns on the monitor and then the fifth column is further to the right off the screen, which makes you have to move a horizontal scroll bar to see the fifth column. This table is also not flush with the heading table either obviously, although I have both set to 100%.
I don't know if my problem has to do with the table I made or the image sizes in Photoshop. In photoshop after I had scanned the image I went to "Image Size" and reduced the "document size" width to 1.5 cm to make the image come out a lot smaller. Should I be doing something different in Photoshop when changing the "Image Size"? Maybe saving it as a different measurement (choices are percent, inches, cm, mm, points, picas, columns)? Or, do I need to change something with my table/cells?
Anyone know?
Thanks.
P.S. I will post this in Dreamweaver and Photoshop, to get a little more help.If I have to accept the fact that this table I made can't fit each person's monitor screen, then ok, but at least have it to where all the tables are flush with each other. If you take a look at the website URL I posted, every table I made for this page is set to 100%. No matter what computer I pull up the webpage, the heading tables and bottom copyright table come out to 100% of the screen size like it should. It is the tables I have for the pictures that extend pass this and make a horizontal scroll bar necessary and are thus not flush with the other tables. And,I figured out why. When I resized my images in Photoshop, I set the width of each thumbnail to 177 px. I also have 30 px padding on both the left and the right side of each cell (60 px total). So, calculating this we have: (177 px x 5 images across = 885 px) + (60 px padding x 5 cells across = 300 px) = 1185 px....an EXACT amount (which is MORE than my screen width) and OVERRIDES the 100% I set for the table. Therein lies the problem.
So, what I need to figure out is how to make either the cells or images adjust accordingly to fit the actual width of the monitor; 5 cells across = 20% each cell = 100% grand total across.
Follow me so far?
I know there has to be a way. I've seen other pages that can do it. I will keep trying and eventually figure it out.
Thanks for the help.
From http://www.awdsf.com/courseware/html/html2_tables.htm:
" A website that requires side scrolling is considered very un-professional."
And I couldn't agree more with this statement. -
After Firefox loads the home page (google), the first web site I click in my bookmarks takes 4-6 minutes to come in. Clicking on screen makes it go half-tone until it loads. From then on, all other bookmarks come in fast. It doesn't matter what bookmark I load first, it always takes major minutes. I am using Norton 360 and have even disabled the security and web checking and it made no difference.
Okay, here's what I found out. Followed the above instructions...no joy. I think this maybe needs to be posted in a general OS forum, as I'm thinking this is more about that vs just being about iPhoto/iTunes. Here's what I tried and learned.
A new account allowed iPhoto to open up immediately. However, iTunes seemed a touch slow...not sure if that is just due to it being a new account. So, I deleted that account and moved on to the preferences instructions above.
I removed all preferences and placed them in a "preferences A" folder on the desktop. Launched iPhoto and got the exact same results. Super slow...took forever to open. Took forever to close. Same with iTunes.
So I placed all of the removed preferences back into the folder and decided to start launching and closing apps to see what's affected, what's not. Here are the findings.
iPhoto - The worst of all. Takes 4 minutes to open.
Mail - Opens fine, closes very slowly...apprx 1 minute
Calculator - This now opens incredibly slowly. Also noticed that the blue light below a launching app in the dock that seems to radiate was not radiating immediately....just sort of sat there. About a minutes passes, then it radiates for a second and calculator opens. Quitting is instant
Garageband - Launching is slooooow, quitting is instant.
Lightroom 3 - quitting is slow....quit results in upper-left menu items flashing once, then beach ball for about 30 seconds.
These apps check out perfectly fine with no problems launching or quitting: iCal, Safari, Firefox, Aperture, Photoshop (CS3), Illustrator (CS3), InDesign (CS3), Acrobat, Suitcase, Image Capture, Disk Utility, Text Edit, Photo booth, Final Cut Pro.
So I'm at a loss. This may be more of an OS issue, but figured I'd post here to follow up on the suggestions given. I think I'll pose a question in the OS forums. I'm thinking this might mean boxing up the iMac and making a trip to the genius bar. It's incredibly frustrating. -
I'm trying to download a paid membership of CC photoshop onto a second computer. No matter what I do, the site sends me to a blank page instead of downloading. How can I get out of this endless flight pattern?
No, this reply is not helpful. It simply generates this little gem:
"This service requires the conversion feature to be enabled.
Configure conversion ?"
And the same clicking on buttons that makes nothing happen and going around in circles with the escape key. -
Trying to work on a 16bit grayscale image created from a DEM, shows up black no matter what I do
The image is basically a grayscale height map created from Digital Elevation Models, and exported out of another program as a 16bit tiff. I know photoshop can handle the idea of a 16bit image, but no matter what I do, these come out black. i've tried dumping it out as signed, unsigned, stretched, etc. I can't mess with things like contrast or brightness globally cause that will alter the values which have to stay the same.
Basically it needs to open in photoshop cs5 as what it is and save off the same way.
I don't have any other way to do what I need to do to it other than photoshop, so if there is a way to make this work, and someone knows it, I'd sure like to hear it.
and no, converting it to 8bit is not an option.
thanks to anyone who can shed any light.timbranan wrote:
hmm.. that is.. not helpful. Curious why they would choose to do it this way.
I believe it was chosen to simplify and speed up calculations.
that may make all this a moot point if its gonig to wreck my values regardless.
I was wrong to say that all output values will be even, but you do have an equivalent loss of precision. Here are examples of input and output:

How can I fix my MacBook Pro? I have a relatively recent model of the MacBook Pro. I’ve been running Mavericks.
For the past few days, it has been randomly clicking off by itself, I guess crashing. I would be online or just doings on it, sometimes nothing at all, and the screen would go black, the computer would turn off. Then, I would proceed to try to turn it back on, and it won’t turn on for several minutes, no matter what buttons you push. I tried doing an SMC reset for myself. It did not help much. I deleted all my personal files, including plug-ins, especially flash player. I thought that helped, but the computer proceeded to turn off minutes later. Then, out of frustration, (as I have done twice or so before since having the computer) I did what may be called a factory reset for my computer. I erased the current operating system information/memory in disk utility, and then went on to reinstall OS X. This was working fine, and then, a few minutes into the downloading process, my computer turned off once again.
Now, I have no system to operate on. I keep turning the computer back on to try to do it again. But now, the computer tries to do a remote or internet recovery, and tries to re-download an operating system using my WiFi. I’m sure this would be successful, but the computer can’t function for more than a minute or two without crashing/turning off.
I am fairly certain that my power button is NOT stuck.
I did earlier notice the fan making noise, before doing the SMC reset.
The computer did seem to say there was no batteries available at one point.
(But all of this was okay after some point, and I was just doing the reset to try to correct the turning off the system was still doing)
A week or two ago, I did have a glitch where my desktop picture was flashing and acting weird, and other functions on my computer keyboard not working, like volume, keyboard brightness, etc. But I did fix it.
I have not ever had much on this Macbook pro. I do not download applications. I do not store nearly any files on the computer. I usually only use the flash player plug-in. This computer is only used for doing work/business, and for personal use online.
I can’t see why I would have so many problems.
Is it possible that erasing the memory twice or so before is causing an error or issue in the drive?
What is the root of this problem, and how can I fix it on my own?
I can’t really make any progress on the computer since it turns off after only a minute or two no matter what you are trying to do.
What do I do now?kapots3v4,
if your MacBook Pro doesn’t stay active long enough to perform an OS X Internet Recovery, then you should make an appointment at your nearest Apple store or Apple-authorized service provider to have them diagnose what’s ailing it. -
Up to about a month ago, I never had any problems setting my Home Page to Using Current Pages. Then, all of a sudden, I am unable to make any changes to my Home Page no matter what I change the settings to. I work for the US Forest Service and I don't know if some program was loaded that prohibits any changes from being made. Any help would be most appreciated.

Keyboard lights will not stay off no matter what I do on my MacBook Pro. Why??
I've got a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo.
I have ALWAYS left the keyboard lights off for the 4 years I have had it.
But lately, no matter what settings I change or what I try, I cannot PREVENT the keyboard lights from coming on when I've been away from the computer for a long period of time.
Automatically illuminate keyboard in low light is NOT checked in System Prefs. I have reset the PRAM, and left the laptop off with the battery off for hours in hopes of resetting it.
Nothing will work. Almost every time I am away from my computer for hours, I come back and the keyboard lights are on. And when I tap the keyboard light brightness buttons, it just gives me the buster symbol (white circle with a line through it) on screen below the keyboard light brightness indicator for a few seconds. Somehow continuing to tap those buttons eventually makes the lights just turn off. Or holding my hands over the whole keyboard to trigger the sensor can suddenly allow me to control the on/off brightness with those buttons again. In which case I try turning the lights off completely or turning the brightness so low that it goes off.
But once again, when I wake up in the morning, I find the keyboard lights on.
Now the ONLY thing that has changed since this started happening is that I added a new User account. BUT that should asbolutely not cause this problem. I have checked to see if the System Preferences for the keyboard lights in the new user account were causing a conflict, but no, they are exactly the same as my main account.
I have not tried deleting the user account yet because I actually want it and would find it very hard to believe that was the culprit. It's just the only thing I can think of that changed shortly before this started happening.
Is there anything else I can do!?! Is there some preference file that controls the lights somewhere that could be corrupt that I need to trash?
Thank you for any help anyone can provide. This one has stumped me good.From reading up of other forums with the same problem i have come up with two reasons why it is doing that.
first try doing a smc reset
if that does not work then it is a hardware error. Many people have had the problem and they have not been able to fix it so good luck -
I have had a problem on my computer with a virus and after several days running different programs to clean up my computer and once it was clean the people over on PCHF suggested I do some things to make my computer more secure. While all this was going on I upgraded firefox to the latest 3.6.12 update, and added a fire wall, (Zonealarm). I updated everything on the computer with the latest and the greatest.
I also was running a guest account on the computer as my main internet account and from what I understand the default guest account is not supported by the new zonealarm firewall so I decided to create another user account and then transfer all my user files off the guest account onto the newly created account that would have zonealarm support.
Before this time I had ie explorer and firefox both working on all three of the user accounts on the computer and after all this work I can only get firefox to work on the newest account. When I try to connect to the internet on the other two accounts I get a box that pops up, 'Run as' with several things to click and no matter what I click I get sent to an error page with an error message: An error occured while processing your request. then and error message ....Ref # 97.dzd0060.1291309687.11103569
Ie explorer will work on all 3 accounts but firefox seems like it wants to be hard to get along with. I don't think it is anything bad that is wrong, probably just a simple click of a box somewhere but I have read every thread on several forums over the past week and I can't find that box.LOLSee:
