Since last Friday, Type tool is VERY slow in InDesign CS6 8.0.1

Since last Friday, any time I try to switch to the Type tool or using the Type tool try to switch from one text box to another I get the spinning wheel icon and the Control Panel goes blank for 30 to 60 seconds. Double-clicking acts like single-clicking and triple and quadruple-clicking act like double or single-clicking. I'd never had this problem before last Friday and it happens inconsistently. Page thumbnails and instant redraw are turned off and display quality is at Typical. I am using Windows 7 x64 Professional SP1 on a machine with Dual Intel Xeon 3 GHz processors and 8 GB RAM.

Do a system restore to last Thursday....

Files from IDML or CS5, 5.5 become very slow in InDesign CS6

Windows 7 64 bit, core 2 duo, 8 gb ram, plenty of open space on the hard drive.
Files work just fine in CS5 and CS5.5. Opening one of them in CS6 and working in them when just opened is also fine. After saving the file as a CS6 document, closing, and reopening in CS6, selecting text becomes extremely slow...merely putting the cursor in a text frame results in significant delay--the toolbar goes blank and takes several seconds before it redraws. Proceeding to select text and typing changes causes similar behavior.
Opening an IDML file causes similar behavior after the file is saved as CS6 and closed.
Files created in CS6 do not have this problem. It only seems to happen to files converted from previous versions or from IDML.
Does not happen consistently, so I suppose it could be a font issue, although the files in question were originally built on a Mac and are being opened on the PC.

OS is Win7 64 professional.
Turned off Live Preflight etc., tried the .idml export, same problem.
It's only on these specific files that have been opened from a .idml source which came from a Mac system. I had to replace fonts since we did not own the typefaces provided with the packaged files, so I am definitely suspecting a font issue. The original typefaces were OpenType and have been replaced with Adobe versions, although the problem does occur with the OpenType fonts in place.
For now I can work in them using CS 5.5 with no trouble. When time permits I may rebuild these from scratch in CS6, as they are simple layouts anyway, although I also want to figure out exactly what is the cause. Fonts are the chief suspect even though I have them installed locally. I am going to try replacing them with completely different typefaces from newer sources to see if that makes a difference.

Best equation tool to use in Adobe Indesign CS6

Hi,
Can anyone tell me which is the best built in equation tool to use for Adobe Indesign CS6?
I would like to be able to create the equation within my document and NOT save the equation as a file and then paste the equation into the document. The equation tool will also need to be able to create complex equations.
Thank you.

I ran a test with ProRes 24, 25 & 29fps as well as the Red footage in the same timeline. I exported from a 1080 sequence created by a prores422 24fps clip (by using the new item button as suggested). I exported with the following settings...
H.264
HD 1080p 23.976
1920x1080
progressive
sq pixels 1.0
Main
Level: 4.2
Render at Max depth
Bitrate encoding: VBR 2Pass
Target BR: 20 Mbps
Max BR: 50 Mbps
And from what I can tell it all looks pretty darn good. I can see slight differences in 24 and 25. And certainly with the 29 and red footage. But it was never all mean to match seamlessly, as different sequences in the film have different looks. It just shouldn't look like a hot mess. I'm not positive yet, as I need to run more tests as footage comes in. but this may have done the trick. I'll keep updating... thanks !

Strange EDGE behavior since last Friday

Hello,
I work on the 7th floor of a large 8 story building in N Central NJ. Before last Friday I was able to get a constant 4-5 bar Edge signal in my office. 3G never worked in the building. However now, I will get a good 4-5 bar signal for maybe 20 minutes and then the phone will suddenly change to "No Service". Edge will sometimes come back, but it usually requires me to reboot the phone. If I turn on Airplane mode and then turn it back off the phone just displays "Searching...." and the Edge never returns. Strange thing is that if I am listening to Pandora radio or try to use Safari when the phone says "No Service" it sometimes still works. How can I have "No Service" and still be able to xfer data?
Updated to 2.0.1 and it didn't improve things. Went and got a new SIM card and that didn't help either. How can I get a good signal and then all of a sudden have it drop to "No Service"? I'm not moving the phone or anything! Are others experiencing this type of problem? Do I have a bad phone?
NM

If your phone is able to receive data with "no service" showing, there is likely something wrong. Are you able to send or receive calls with "no service"? Remember, the signal strength meter has a built in lag, otherwise it would be fluctuating rapidly, especially indoors. If you move a phone in a steel framed building, it initially won't show a change in bars, but a minute or more later, jump up or down. The placement of your hand on the phone can also have a big effect. Never compare "bars" from one phone model to another.
To get a more accurate measurement of signal, put your iPhone in "Field Test" mode. To do this enter <star>3001#12345#<star> in the keypad and press call. The "bars" will be replaced by a number - the actual signal strength in -dBm ( the lower the better). Numbers of less than -100 (i.e. -110) are getting weak.

Dragging clips to bins is very slow in Premiere CS6

I just upgraded to Premiere CS6 from CS 5.5 (no thank you, CC) and have problems with very slow speed when dragging clips from one bin to another in the Project panel. Here are the specifics:
I have about 1500 clips in a bin that I'm sorting through in the Project panel, putting clips into other bins as I classify them. If I have the 1500 clips sorted by the Name field, there's no delay as I move a clip or clips from the big bin to one of the smaller bins. If, however, I sort the 1500 clips by Media File Path in the Project panel (which puts the clips in chronological order because the file names reflect date and time), then doing the same work results in an 8-second delay every time I try to move a clip between bins.
I get the 8-second delay each and every time I drag a clip between bins. It occurs whether I select a single clip to drag or drag multiple clips. As soon as I sort in the panel by Name field instead of the Media File Path field, dragging has no delay.
I have no such trouble with delays in CS5.5, so I'm at a loss. I need to have the bin sorted by Media File Path, because I need them in chronological order as I evaluate them. But an 8-second delay each time I move a clip bogs me down so much it's impractical to get any sorting done.
I suspect this is a bug. I've upgraded to CS6.05, but that didn't fix it. Does anyone have a workaround?
Thanks,
Mike Boom

A good suggestion. I did try that earlier, but alas, no luck.
Sorting works across all bins in the Project panel, so once you sort on the Media File Path, drags are slow from all bins, even if you segment into bins as small as two clips.
Premiere is doing something bad with sorts after CS5.5. Looks like Adobe fell down on regression testing for the updated version. Then again, it's got to be hard to regression test as many features as Premiere has.

Slow Performance InDesign CS6

Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit Professional
Adobe InDesign CS6 version 8.0
12 GB Ram
128 GB SSD
Whenever I try to change from the arrow to the text tool, I have to wait several seconds for the program to make the switch. On other machines, it's instantaneous. Whenever I try to scroll through pages, or click on a text box, or switch the top ribbon from character to paragraph mode...all these seemingly simple commands take several long seconds for the program to respond. By several, I mean like 15 or 20.
I have tried turning off the "pre flight" which seems to help but only a little bit.
What would next steps be to trying to resolve the issue other then possibly upgrading to CC?

The ID has been patched to 8.0.2.
The preferences have been trashed today, following the manual method of renaming the two files used for preferences.
Correction: 390 Free space out of 475 GB SSD
I will see how the performance is after trashing the preferences.
Thank you for the troubleshooting steps.

Since the last two updates WIFI is very slow

Hello, everybody!
I mentioned, that YouTube was not fast enough to load as fast, as to play the video from the beginning to the end, without stop.
The I measured the internet bandwith available: 193 kbps.
My ipod touch is connected via WIFI directly to my MacBook. The MacBook shares the internet connection it has via ethernet, via WIFI to the iPOD.
The Macbook has 20000 kbps available. Until one of the last updates I could use 3500 kbps of them on the ipod touch.
Do I have to wait for the next update (bugfix), or can I help myself?
The ping rountrip times are beetween 20 and 200 ms. When I put the intervall for ping to 0.1 seconds, the ping times come down to the normal 1 ms. During this heavy ping-Attack the available bandwith on the iPod is four times higher: 800 kbps. Still not nice, but enough for youTube to load fast enough.
On another site I read, that it would help to switch WIFI to 11 Mbit. How do I do this on my MacBook?
Thanks in advance -
Klaus.

This is such a PITA! I do not have time to troubleshoot software. Many of us spend our lives starting at a computer and this crap destroys productivity!
I did recently replace Adobe Reader because it started taking 10+ seconds to open a document on my desktop. Found Foxit reader (unassociated with Firefox I believe) and solved that problem. And I just removed all Adobe products (Flash Player) and it does seem to speed things up considerably. Granted at some point I will need a flash player (don't know if there is an alternative) and if the slowness reoccurs in Firefox I guess I will switch to Chrome. Sad, I really like Firefox, except when it is slower than death tied to a stump.
It does appear that Adobe products are what is currently destroying world productivity. It's amazing that they could beat Microsoft in this category. They must have put forth a monumental effort to achieve this.

I just updated to the latest version of firefox yesterday. Since then,the browser has been very slow & unresponsive. When I go to tools 2 clear recent history it takes forever and then sometimes freezes. The old version worked perfectly and was very fast

Should I just go back to the old version of firefox? my OS is windows 7

Unfortunately it can not be recommended that you go back to firefox 6, some of the fixes were security fixes, and firefox 6 is no longer considered secure or supported. ( Firefox 3.6.23 was updated and is still temporarily supported, but I doubt many would consider downgrading that far)
* see [[installing a previous version of firefox]]
Check that all your extensions are up to date. Possibly it is due to a change in the version or combinations of themes plugins and add-ons that you use. You clearly have out of date plugins showing.

Since last weeks AppleTV update evrything so slow

Hi
Since I allowed an AppleTV and my Extreme update last week or the week before, and now downloads to my Apple TV are so slow it makes trying to watch anything impossible.
I have a cable Internet from Virgin Media at up to 10 meg and to my iMac the speed is fine but to Apple TV it's useless..
What can I do or what can Apple do about it as it used to be a lot better before the updates?

Unfortunately, the old 2500s (and to a certain extent the 6416s) are maxed out due to memory and processing capabilities. Verizon no longer even offers the 2500 and this is the last update that model will able to support.
Your only "option" (and I use that term loosely as it is difficult to get equipment upgraded) is to update your equipment. This means going to an HD STB to replace the 2500s which more than likely will incur additional expense (unless you are fortunate enough to live in the NY metro area where they charge the same for an SD or HD box). The DVR would have to be updated to a 7xxx series Motorola or the new Cisco box (again depends on location as to which is being used).
