PP CC suddenly smooth

I had posted a lot beore trying to get PP to run smoothly with Canon 1DC footage (Motion JPEG). I had never figured it out.. Recently, my PP App has started running the  footage very smoothly, with no issues at all. With color correction it runs a little slower, but not at all as badly as before. It even works with drives pluged in via USB 3.0. Does anyone know what is going on? Did adobe finally update with something that fixes this issue?

Already with 7.0.1.141. See Tweakers Page

  • I have been looking at the Mavericks OS comments.

    Is it possible the people that have had problems are updating from older versions, such as 10.6.  instead of the later 10.7..'s ?
    And the speed of their internet would cause crashes and glitches in the program?
    I would like to do the upgrade, but as I've had no issues with what I've got, I'm worried about installing the new operating system.
    Any clues on why some have had terrible results and others love it?
    I am currently using 10.6.8 and have a mid to slow ADSL connection.
    Should I or should I not???

    Actually, I have both the old Pages and Numbers  (from iWork 09 retail install DVD) as well as the new stand alone, free to download, Pages and Numbers from the app store (free on new Macs or when you have the older retail version installed - the new version was offered automatically to me free of charge; you must have Mavericks installed). The Pages 4.3 (from iWork 09) works perfectly well with mavericks - I am using it since I've decided to ignore the new version for the time being.
    You may have an older iWork version? Or possibly Appleworks? Those are no longer supported.
    The new version of Pages has lost some functionalities, so, after testing it, I've decided to ignore it until Apple puts back some features. If you do use the new version, be advised that you cannot open a doc in the old version once you've changed it in the version. In any case, both version co-exist on my MBP; installing the new version will not "update" the old one - it is installed as a totally different version.
    @ Lex Schelling: Sorry, I can't agree; when I first installed Lion>ML>Mavericks, my MBP was sluggish as he.. - and that was before I ever tried to do any video work. As soon as I doubled the RAM to 8 GB, things were suddenly smooth. The behavior didn't change with the OS upgrades even though Mavericks supposedly has better memory management; Apple sent a reply to my bug report explaining that the increased memory usage was expected due to the 64 bit architecture. My personal, unqualfied opinion: I don't think it's efficient memory management when kernel_task takes up to 1 GB continuously, leaving you with only 3 to work with or, put another way, using 3 GB when the only apps open are a browser and Mail. But, that's my personal (and, as I said, totally unqualified) opinion.

  • Line art file suddenly looks pixelated. How do I get it to look smooth onscreen?

    File was fine...lines smooth now even the fonts looks jagged. I don't know what changed in my file but can't find anything in preferences!!
    Raster effects is still at 300dpi.
    Please help! Thanks

    check the layers pallet.
    things can get pixelated, or look so, when you put many on top of each other.
    ie. with the bottom text I copied it then hit paste in front a few times.

  • Gradient is suddenly not smooth anymore

    Hi, I recently noticed a problem when drawing gradients: The transition from black to became non-smooth.
    I'm using Photoshop elements 10 installed on a Windows 7 64-bit system.
    The main installations I did lately were a Win7 upgrade to SP1 and a Photoshop CS6 trial version installation (and following the problem, Photoshop CC trial verison as well). I suspect the problem stems from one of these installations.
    I can confirm that the problem is local to Photoshop (all versions). When copying and pasting the image between either Photoshop version and Paint.Net interchangeably, the problem does not occur in Paint.Net (no matter which application created the source image).
    I attached a screenshot of how the output looks in Photoshop and Paint.Net side-by-side.
    The gradient looks bad at 100% or any other zoom level. Moreover, I tried creating images with various DPI resolutions (72, 100, 150, 200, 300) - it's all the same (and when I copy any of these images to Paint.Net it's as smooth as it gets).
    Notes:
    My screen resolution is set to 32-bit (True Color).
    My graphic video card is nVidia GTX 260 (it's been around, but still works a.o.k.)Following the problem I updated the drivers to the latest version (but it didn't help).
    According to suggested solutions out there, I tried almost every combination of Edit > Preferences > Performance > Advanced Settings:
    Enable/Disable "Use Graphics Processor"
    Drawing Mode: Basic / Normal / Advanced
    All the checkboxes (including 30 bit display, etc.)
    I also tried creating 8/16 bit images (and 32 bit images, but it's not possible to apply a grayscale gradient to this type of image).
    This problem is originally related to not getting smooth transitions when drawing with my wacom tablet along with pen-pressure flow preset, but I found it easier to explain the issue through gradients.
    Photoshop Elements 10 was working great earlier - this problem came out of nowhere (and I wish it would go back there).
    Ideas are highly appreciated (except for re-installing the OS).
    Hope someone could help - I'm searching for a solution for three days in a row already (searching for gradient band/banding/rings/etc. didn't yield a solution).
    Thank you.

    What color profile are you using in the documents?
    Try this:
    1.  Go into your Preferences - Performance dialog
    2.  Click the [Advanced Settings...] button.
    3.  Choose the Basic drawing mode.
    4.  OK out and close Photoshop entirely.
    Now start Photoshop again and re-test.
    The above is based on Photoshop proper.  I'm not sure about Elements (been a while since I ran it), but the above change I described moves the color-management logic from the GPU into the CPU.  GPU-based color-management is inaccurate under some conditions. 
    Elements is closely related to Photoshop proper, so I posted it on the chance that this may help.

  • Macbook pro mid 2012 suddenly very slow

    I've had my Macbook Pro 13" (not retina) mid 2012 8 GB RAM for over two years and all of sudden it went from running as fast and smoothly as Usain Bolt to running about as fast as I do, which is extremely slow. Every time I try to do something on my mac (whether it be opening a program, starting up my mac, or just clicking on something), the spinning color wheel pops up and takes about 90 seconds to actually complete the action that I tried to do. Sometimes it just quits whatever program it may be running immediately. I already reset the SMC (that didn't work) and I really, really, REALLY don't want to have to take it to an Apple store. I'm currently running EtreCheck as I type this, but even that is moving extremely slow. I know it's not Yosemite because I've had it for about a month now and nothing has gone wrong until a couple days ago. I am a student in high school and therefore desperately need my mac's speed back. Did I mention it took 15 minutes just to write this post from my computer? Somebody help.

    Finally the EtreCheck finished:
    Problem description:
    Color wheel keeps popping up every time I try to do something on my computer, whether it be open a program, click a link, type a paper… pretty much every time I try to do something. As a student, it’s impossible for me to take notes or type papers. Overall, the computer has suddenly become extremely slow as well during start ups.

  • Linksys E2000 Suddenly Choppy When Playing HD Videos

    So quick back story. I stream a lot of 720p HD video over my network (both local storage and Internet streaming). I bought the E2000 about 5-6 months ago after my last router stopped working, and it has been working flawlessly up until now.
    So a few days ago, I was streaming a live basketball game, and noticed that all of a sudden, it would no longer stream at 3Mbps HD quality (or even 1.5Mbps or 800Kbps; I had to drop it to the lowest setting of 300Kbps to stream, and even then it was iffy). I thought...well, maybe this service is getting more popular, and they just need to fix their pipe.
    Then, last night, I went to watch a locally-stored HD video (720p, around 4-5Mbps), which is something I've done almost everyday for the last six months with this router, and when I went to play it, the movie would play for maybe 4-6 minutes without any trouble, and then suddenly, it would just start stuttering (i.e. play 5-10 frames, freeze for 1/4 second, play, freeze, and repeat for the next 20-30 seconds of the movie). It would then play fine again for 5-10 minutes, and then suddenly do the same. It would repeat this process throughout the entire course of the movie.
    Now, keep in mind, I've made NO changes to my setup, networking, Internet connection, or file server. I decided to bring up a network monitor to look at the connection while a video was playing, and this is the result:
    http://www.screencast.com/t/N886Il6rE
    You can see the normal spikes of data transmission on the left and right of the graph, but then the connection just drops off in the middle. That exactly corresponds to where the video begins to get choppy. Then, when it starts to spike again, the movie beings playing smoothly.
    Things I've tried:
    - I was running in mixed G/N mode, so I tried switching to N-only (only one of my computers has an N adapter, so this would not be ideal for the moment). No luck, still choppy.
    - Tried restarting every single computer, including file server. Still choppy.
    - Tried making sure the router wasn't overheating. We live in a cold region, I stuck it against a window that was 30 degrees F in temperature. Still choppy.
    - I tried changing some of the packet size/frequency settings in the "Advanced" section of wireless setup, messed with the frequency, changed the channels, etc. Still choppy.
    - I checked to make sure I have the latest firmware for the router, I do.
    - Played with relocating all of my antennas and such, even putting them in unsightly places to make sure I'd get a strong signal. Still choppy.
    I can't really think of anything else to try, and it's just so odd that this has worked without any trouble for months now. It has to be the wireless function on the router, because when I try streaming it with a wired connection, it works just fine. The ONLY difference I noticed (and I don't know when this happened) is that one of my neighbors set up an N-router, which hasn't been there before. They moved in maybe 1-2 months ago, so I'm guessing that the router has been around for that long, or slightly less...which perhaps could coincide with my timeline for this not working anymore. Could that be a possible issue, and if so...way around it (again, note I've already tried changing channels, etc. I can't run on 5.0GHz frequency because my adapter doesn't support it).
    Thanks!

    Hey, I have the exact same issue.
    Had this e2000 for over 2 years and never a real issue with it.
    Suddenly -- 3 days ago, it started doing this same thing. Fine internet then spiking and dropping occasionally, making playing games/streaming live video imposible. I had made no changes, attached no new devices, or done anything out of the ordinary.
    I tried all the same tactics you did. Power Cycled, rebooted computers, power cycled modem etc. I propped it up on some bottle caps to make sure it was getting ventilation (remember though, it hasn't moved from its location in over a year), and then I updated the firmware to the latest version. As part of the firmware reset, I did a hard reset and a power cycle to reset all the settings and then manually configred them myself. Still having these issues.
    The wired internet is fine, as one of my roommates can use it and I can connect to it and use it on this curent computer.
    Any answers?

  • IMovie HD 6.0.3: After making 10 movies where I clipped portions from a larger clip (and exported the smaller clips), suddenly iMovie clips are much shorter after I export them.

    Hi there,
    I am using iMovie HD 6.0.3 on an older MacBookPro (OS X, 10.4.11).
    I took an AVI video and imported that into iMovie HD.
    I then created smaller clips out of that - like editing a 20 minute video into small, 30 second clips.
    I made about 10 of these smaller clips, exported them using "expert settings," and burned the results to DVD. These all worked fine.
    Suddenly, the final product that I export is much shorter than the clip I created. For example, I'll create a 30 second smaller clip from the original. When I review this 30 second clip, it is what I wanted.
    When I export this 30 second clip, it makes a QuickTime movie that is only 23 seconds. (The first 10 I made did not do this).
    I tried extending my clip by 7 seconds, hoping to end up with a 30 second clip after exporting. The result was even shorter - like 15 seconds.
    I have checked disk space - it has at least 500 GB free space. I have tried exporting the clip to both my laptop and to an external hard drive. The results are the same.
    I just tried using the "crop" feature to see if my end product was better - but it was the same.
    Does anyone know what is going on? Why did this start after making 10 successful exports? What can I do to get it working right again, as I have 3 more clips to make and am running up against a deadline.
    Thanks so much!
    Heidi

    Since I can't edit this post... (Why?) I'd add: fast forwarding and fast reverse (shift key and arrow left or right) the HA files is also not smooth. They play alright. I'm surprised iMovie can't handle them either. I didn't have a problem with the earlier camcorder's HA files... (All were converted MTS files using Movie Converter.)

  • Flash Player doesn't play smoothly and out of sync in full screen

    Hello! Everyone
    The flash player (11.2.202.235) does not play smoothly and in full screen audio and vidoe is out of sync.  I didn't use to have any problem at all, it only started about two weeks ago and since then despite trying various things (i.e. disabling hardware excelration, uninstalling & reinstalling, trying various browsers etc.) has not resolved the issue.  I don't know why it has suddenly stopped playing smoothly as I have not installed any software recently which might have cuased this. 
    I am using Windows XP (service pack3) and have dual partion with dual operating system (both XP).  There is the same problem on both operarting system and flash player won't run smoothly on either of them.  Although my computer and graphics card is quite old but the downloaded movies/DVD playback is fine even in full screen.  It runs smoothly and audio&video is in sync so I don't think it could my the graphics card. 
    As I mentioned I have tried all the browsers but without any luck.  The BBC iplayer plays ok most of the time if not in full screen but as soon as you make it full screen the vidoe is more like a slide show and very jittery and audio&video gets out of sync.  Same with youtube vidoes, they play ok when not in full screen but the video in full screen does not play smoothly and audio&vidoes gets out of sync.  However the ITV player & Channel 4 content on 4OD does not even play smoothly when not in full screen and the video&audio is out of sync all the time. 
    It would be really helpful if anyone can suggest anything to resolve this issue as I have not been able to find anything on the internet to solve the problem and its driving me up the wall.  Although I have tried to include as much details as I could think of so please let me know if I have missed any details that could be crucial in order to identify the problem.
    Thank you very much for reading this and taking the time to reply and your feedback.

    Would you mind opening a new bug on this at bugbase.adobe.com?  Please include your dxdiag report, a specific URL and a link to this forum thread.
    In the meantime, you might want to try our 11.3 beta or rollback to a previous version of the player to see if that resolves the problem.

    Running a mid 2009 iMac on 10.7.5, 3 gb memory, 320 gb hd. 
    Suddenly the computer stoped reading DVDs and the only time I can read a CD is if I restart.  Quite often when I insert a CD it gets stuck and I cannot get it out until I restart and it shows up on the desktop where I can then eject it.
    I have checked and double checked the finder prefs and all looks normal showing a check mark on CDs,DVDs etc. (the ones I want to show up on the desktop)
    I have reset the PEAM, repaired permissions with both the disk utility on the computer and the disk utility when I start up in the Recovery Disk.  I did notice that sometimes the permission repeat the same correction several times before it moves on, and sometimes it doesn’t. I have Windows installed on a partition but I keep it unmounted until it is needed for my wife’s work.  The dock seems to be just fine and all the apps seems to run just fine.  When I insert a photo CD iPhoto does not open but when I insert a music CD iTunes does open. 
    Also, most every time I open iPhoto it takes a long time(sometimes as long as 2 minutes) for it to load.
    Sometimes my Mail (Mail 5.3) does not post new mail but most of the time it does. 
    Once and a while it seems like the computer slows way down but then it seems ok ten minutes later.
    All  of these ‘things’ seemed to have happen suddenly and I have not downloaded anything from the internet in some time.
    Of course the warranty and extended warranty are both no longer in effect having had this computer for more than three years.
    I am running Java and Adobe Player because some of the sites I go to a lot require both.

    I believe that insufficient RAM may be the source of some of your problems. If you have a RAM of somewhere 4 to 8GB, you will experience smoother computing. 3GB doesn't seem right, so you might want to learn more by going to this site:
    http://www.crucial.com/store/drammemory.aspx
    I don't know what know what's happening with your optical drive, but it seems you use your drive quite a bit. In that case, look into a lens cleaner for your machine. It's inexpensive, works quite well.
    I hope you'll post here with your results!

  • How can I force a smooth join and change a shortcut?

    I am from Denmark so pardon me if I misspell something and I work on a Mac so the shortcuts and menus are for Mac, but you are clever people, so you can probably figure out what it will be on a Windows computer
    I was having trouble in Illustrator CS6 joining two points smooth. I read this article ...
    http://blogs.adobe.com/adobeillustrator/2011/06/join.html
    ... about joining in Illustrator CS5 (which seems to be the same in CS6) ... and noticed it says "A Smooth join is possible only when the end-points are smooth" ... now who came up with this asshat rule (pardon my french)??? I used to be able to force a joining to be smooth no matter what kind of points I had, however, not anymore it seems
    This is what I had trouble with:
    Smooth joins
    Step 1.
    As you can see in the image below I have two points both with an arm ... they should qualify as smooth end-points, right?
    Step 2.
    So after moving the two paths together I went ahead and selected the two points with my Direct Selection Tool (the white arrow). Notice how only one arm sticks out all of a sudden (this was actually a clue to why I had trouble in the first place but more on this later).
    Step 3.
    I tried to force the two points to join smoothly by using the cmd+opt+shift+J shortcut to get the Average & Join dialog box up and select Smooth ... to no avail.
    Step 4.
    It stil ends up doing this weird joining (this is after I tried to move the point with my Direct Selection Tool).
    Step 5.
    So I used cmd+Z until I was back to square one and then I discovered if I moved one of the end-points there was another one beneath it. Notice that it is the point that was missing an arm in step 2, when I had selected what I thought was only two points, which should have clued me in.
    Removing the extra point and placing the two smooth end-points on top of each other again made it possible to make the smooth joining, I had tried to do countless times.
    What I wonder about now is the fact that I could get the Average & Join dialog box without having Illustrator complain up a storm about me having selected more than two points? Illustrator used to be very picky about this, which would have made me discover the extra point way sooner.
    Shortcuts
    In the article I also noticed people complaining about the four keys shortcut for the Average & Join dialog box (cmd+opt+shift+J). You can just go ahead and change that in Edit/Keyboard Shortcuts... (cmd+opt+shift+K). Here is how:
    Step 1.
    In the dropdown change Tools to Menu Commands.
    Step 2.
    Go to Other Objects ... there you will find Average & Join. Go ahead and clear the shortcut and press whichever shortcut you wish for. I chose cmd+J, because I wish to use this method more often than Join. After this you get the option to Go To Conflict ... I did that and gave Join the shortcut shift+cmd+J and ended up giving Justify Text Left the shortcut cmd+opt+shift+J ... yeah, I seldom use the shortcut for Justify Text Left anyway.
    Step 3.
    I saved my new custom shortcut set with the name "Adobe Illustrator CS6 Shortcuts" ... that way I can search for the file and take it with me in case I need it on another computer and the name tells me which version it is for.
    That's all from me ... I hope, this helps

    Joanna,
    It seems that Illy (still) moves in (ever new) mysterious ways.
    I was surprised to see that you got away with your French word, but the hat part must have hidden the first part from the nanny filter. The first part by itself would have become asterisks.

  • Firefox has suddenly stopped connecting on one of three user accounts on the same computer. That account still connects with Safari - but not Firefox. A clean-install has not solved the problem. Help?

    Three user accounts on the same computer all link to a single copy of Firefox 3.6.8 - but one of them has suddenly lost its ability to use the program. Firefox opens in that account, but it cannot connect to the Internet. 'Done' appears at the lower left of a blank Firefox page [it's set to load a blank page initially], as though a page had finished downloading ... but Firefox does not actually generate any Internet activityx.
    Previously, the Firefox connection for this account was smooth and reliable. I haven't added, upgraded or downloaded any new programs, nor made any other computer changes in recent weeks or months.
    Puzzlingly - that same account still connects successfully to the Internet via Safari. And the other accounts on the same computer continue to use Firefox with no problem - including a test user-account that I set up today to help troubleshoot the problem. The blockage is restricted solely to Firefox with that one user account.
    Following your Support page instructions, I did a clean-install of Firefox 3.6.8, removing both the existing Firefox 3.6.8 and the Library/Application Support/Firefox folder. Going the extra mile, I checked all accounts to be certain that no Firefox folders remained in any of them - then emptied the Trash and restarted before installing a freshly downloaded 3.6.8. But blimey - the blockage still persists for that one user account.
    Firefox shows no visible cookies that might influence the connection. [It's set to delete all cookies upon closing anyway.] And I see no obvious instructions in Mac's firewall or any software program to refuse access to Firefox. The computer is stand-alone, not networked. And in any case, Firefox works just fine in the two other user accounts.
    Deleting the hobbled user account is not feasible. So what is causing this roadblock? Did I miss a step in the clean-install? How can that account resume using Firefox?
    Thanks in advance for your advice.

    If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
    You can also delete active-update.xml and possibly updates.xml (stores the update history).

  • HT2534 I cannot download free apps or update current apps. I am being asked over and over to input CC information I have been downloading apps for a year now suddenly this I even purchased an iTunes giftcard and no dice. Only options are Mastercard, Visa,

    I have had my iPhone 4 for a year and a half, with absolutely no issues. I've been downloading, using, and upgrading apps all the while, until suddenly I ran into this issue.
    I used a pre-paid credit card to make an in-game purchase, and ever since then I am asked to put Mastercard, Visa, or Amex information into my billing info. I do not have a credit card, I even purchased an iTunes gift card thinking I could use that as a 'payment method' (even though I was simply trying to update an existing free app) and there's no option for it.
    Frankly, I'm quite irritated. I wouldn't mind making a new iTunes account, but wouldn't that affect the apps/purchases/saved game info associated with my current account?
    How the heck do I fix this issue, I can't use facebook as it requires an update but I can't update without a CC. Ugh.

    I also wish to perform the 'free' upgrade to the mavericks OS however I am prompted to enter credit card details. This is neither appropriate and obstructive to my apple experience. I only wish to perform the upgrade and will give my details at a later date should I wish to make a future purchase. Please let me know what options are available to me without entering credit card details. It seems an unnecessary request for my financial information for which I don't/can't provide and is already limiting my iphone experience. I wish to use apple products in the future however I fail to see the logic of the credit card requirement for a "free" upgrade. An annoying roadblock to a smooth user experience.

  • Mid-2012 MBP lagging with constant colour wheeling at everything. How do I fix it to run quickly/smoothly again?

    I only just got my Mid-2012 13-inch MBP last November, switching over after a long time with PCs. I wasn't expecting any problems with my MBP, as everyone else I know who has one hasn't had any issues. I love it but a couple of days ago, it's become relatively slower than its usual pace. I'm not quite sure what's going on, but as it's still relatively new, it shouldn't be lagging every five seconds with opening an application or switching tabs or typing in Word. I don't do much with my MBP except for surfing the web (Facebooking, etc.), doing homework, and YouTubing. Gifs won't even load properly at the moment. it's becoming frustrating because it's the same problems I faced with PCs that I wasn't expecting from Macs. The colour wheel of doom keeps spinning on my screen and I just want to be able to do whatever to make it all run smoothly and quickly again as it was. (In typing this message alone, the colour wheel popped up and everything lagged considerably for a good minute or so quite a few times.)
    Here's some of the info/specs I got from the About My Mac:
    Processor  2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory  4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8.3 (12D78)
    I also have 395.89 GB free out of 499.25 GB, and I've also referred to the Activity Monitor with nothing in particular that really uses a lot of CPU or anything like that. I'm also not sure whether or not to do that Disk Utility thing to repair permissions or whatever it is or if I need to test anything in safe mode.
    Anyhow, thanks so much in advance to anyone who can help me out with this! I really appreciate it

    but a couple of days ago, it's become relatively slower than its usual pace.
    Is there anything significant that occured just before the slowdown issues occured?
    Your machine comes with a boot hard drive, which is subjective to shock if the computer is moved while the computer is turned on. This has a effect of damaging data on the platters where information can't be easily read or sometimes not at all.
    The spinning wheel is indicative of the software waiting for something from the hardware or network, but your using programs that have no use online, so it suggests something is wrong with your boot hard drive.
    If the hard drive has difficulty reading data, there is a mechanism in place to try to read the damaged sectors and move the information to another sectors on the drive, since this takes time you get the spinning beach ball waiting.
    Another possiblity is you might have installed some sort of very restrictive third party anti-virus that has a background check process on everything your doing. For Mac's this is unnecessary as Apple has included their own and the free ClamXav is all you need to run once in awhile to clean/flag Windows files  which their malware doesn't affect a Mac.
    Use the developers uninstaller to remove it and reboot.
    it's becoming frustrating because it's the same problems I faced with PCs
    Given your age and that you had this problem with PC's, I suspect your very harsh on your machines or haven't been educated about how fragile they are and can't be moved while operating.
    To solve your issue my suggestion is to first make a backup of just your users data to a external drive, also to another drive using TimeMachine which will make a copy of your entire system.
    So this way you have at least two copies of your data off the machine, the TimeMachine might fail to restore if it backs up corrupted data. Thus the extra copy of your personal files on another storage drive once the fresh opertaing system and programs are reinstalled.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    Next take the machine to the Apple Store and tell them your seeing beachballs on everything your doing. They will replace the hard drive under warranty, ask if you made a backup or not and of course tell them you did with TimeMachine but don't think it's going to reliable because of the issues on the boot drive, tell them  you have a extra copy of your files on a another storage drive.
    Ask them to help you reinstall OS X and Apple programs for you if they can, then all you have to do when you get home is to copy your files from the storage drive. This would ensure any corruption of OS X or programs is eliminated.
    I would buy AppleCare if you haven't done so already, but just remember, warranty/AppleCare only covers factory defects, not user inflicted damage.
    However there is some times where hard drives will fail on their own accord in a few months after purchase, which might be the problem in your case as there is a sudden motion detector and it's supposed to freeze the hard drive to prevent damage to the platters.
    Good Luck

  • Scrolling, typing and clicker "stick" all of the sudden - help?

    I bought my MBP exactly one month ago, and things have been fine for the most part. But suddenly the response rate for my clicker, two-finger touch pad scrolling and typing ave been abysmally slow. It takes the computer a few seconds to catch up with what I'm typing, scrolling down pages is no longer smooth and controlled but sticky and "jumpy", and in clicking/unclicking boxes, links (anything)there is a similar delay.
    Last night as I was watching some web-based quicktime videos everything froze up, and I had to restart...the first few attempts at restarting were unsuccessful; the grey screen popped up with the apple logo and the timer icon went round and round, but OS never booted. Once I did manage to boot up, the same thing happened again while trying to watch these videos. I restarted again, and again, and again, until the computer would boot to desktop. After that I began having this issue. Any ideas about what this is/how to fix it? Thanks.

    viper0066 -
         You must have DiskWarrior v 4.4 in order to run under Lion.  That does not mean you can't use an earlier version of DW if you are running a copy while booted in an earlier version of OSX provided that the version of DW is supported by that earlier version of OSX.  So, you could use DW 4.3 on a Lion startup drive provided that you are booted into Snow Leopard or older, if that makes sense.  Also, as of a few days ago Alsoft still didn't have a bootable CD/DVD for Lion, apparently they are waiting for a copy of the code from Apple to do this.  So you can't boot a computer requiring Lion from an existing DiskWarrior CD or DVD (yet).
         I seem to remember a memory error similar to what you are getting when there is not enough room left on the drive for virtual memory while DW works.  The larger the drive you are working on the more virtual memory space you need.  Remember that DW operates in a fail safe mode, that is, it writes potential changes to unused space on the drive first so you can use the preview function before committing to the final writing of the repalcement directory.  How much free space unused room do you have left on these drives, and how big are they?  I'm not sure if the free space has to be contiguous, if so you might consider iDefrag or something similar.  However, as to any drive that already has problems, do not try iDefrag, that well might make the problem worse:(
         I hope these comments help. - Randy

  • Macbook Pro slow all of a sudden

    My mid 2012 Macbook Pro has recently and suddenly become cripplingly slow for no obvious reason. I normally have Chrome and firefox open at the same time and they both run simultaneously very smoothly, up until four or five days ago. Now, launching any application is far slower than it used to be and I see the spinning beachball of death far too often and for the tiniest littlest things, like if I right click a link or something the little options bar won't come up until the beachball has stopped.
    Watching videos on youtube is almost impossible as the video lags at times for no reason and the sound will keep going but the video will stop and all i'll be able to do is move my mouse. Or sometimes the video just stops all together. This is with a FULL buffer bar! While scrolling down webpages I am also met with lag a lot of the time. It has made my laptop unusable at times. I have tried reseting the SMC and PRAM to no avail. And If I shut my laptop lid and leave it on I come back to the fan running very loudly and the Macbook being very hot even with nothing running. I updated my software about 2 days ago after the slowness started happening and the update took two hours just to install even though it said "15 minutes remaining". Obviously, the update did not work. At the worst of times, clicking on anything results in the beachball. I have restarted my macbook multiple times and sometimes it becomes usable for a while before eventually lagging with literally everything I do.
    Please help in any way you can! 
    Thanks in advance!!
