Slow saving and switching Illustrator Photoshop

We have bought 6 licenses of Adobe Creative Suite. Our machines generally have this spec
     Quad Core / Dual Core
     2 GB memory
     Windows XP SP3
     Video Card 512 MB/ 256MB
     Part of a Windows Based Network
Most of the computers are new and aside from Adobe Creative suite we have installed mcaffee enterprise edition anti-virus
program, skype, open office, firefox.spyware terminator.
Some time after 6 months of use...our artists experience slow down in saving files....(1 MB file takes more 5 minutes)
and even switching between photoshop and illustrator. When they are connected to the LAN this happens. But if they
disable the network connection or physically remove the UTP cable from NIC both software works just fine.
We have tried searching for solutions in the net but we have not found anything that solved this issue.

Hi Mylenium,
Im not too familiar with network routing and configuration. Can you please give a suggestion on the best
Configuration for the routing in our network? What exactly do need to do to flush all temp files made or tracked
In our network.
Thanks in advance.

Jpeg file not saved and readable by photoshop cs6

I saved a file as a jpeg in photoshop cs6 and now its not a jpeg and photoshop won't reopen it. How do I get it opened and make it a jpeg? Why did this happen?

Does it have the JPG file extension? If not, try changing it manualy.
Does it open in other apps, and do so without any corruption? (Green or other colloured rectangles on the image).

I have a problem with the effect gallery and the saving libraries in Illustrator CS6

Hi everybody
I have a problem with the effect gallery and the saving libraries in Illustrator
1. When you go to to effects > effect Gallery the the sketch filter always is black and white. Is this normal? In Photoshop you can set your background and foreground and the sketch effects takes those colors. Is there any way to do this in Illustrator? I have tried changing the colour of the fill and stroke but nothing...
2. In the same area as before effects > effect Gallery .... In Photoshop you can add multiple filters with the create new button. Always is off is there anyway to make it available? or the only way is to by creating several individual ones and manage then in the appearance panel ...
3. I saved a brush library and now it appears in the user defined area so I can get it in any document, that is good but any one knows how to delete a user undefined library?
Many thanks in advance for the help .... I look forward for the reply =)

I see that it is six months ago that I first posted this. Nothing has changed. When I use affixa to create a message with an attachment from my gmail account in firefox, the message is created in drafts, but the gmail window is closed and I have to re-open it. Not critical, but annoying.
Now there is a plug-in on the affixa site that is supposed to be designed for Firefox, and which affixa support claims should take care of this. And I've downloaded it twice. When you download it and open it, it says that it will be installed when Firefox restarts, and gives you a button to restart Firefox. But after you click that button and firefox disappears and re-appears, the affixa plug-in is NOT in the plugin list.
Please, somebody, HELP.

Illustrator cs3 very slow saving

I use illustrator cs3 and for some reason it has become ridiculously slow to save files. If I export to some other file illustrator is very fast, but saving takes 1 or 2 minutes. I have turned off version cue and pdf clipboard settings, but didn't help. I'm working on XP machine.

It appears that many have viewed this question, but know one has a solution. I do have an update. I uninstalled CS3 completely from my "C" drive and defragmented all drives on my computer. I then reinstalled CS3 on my "D" drive. With a fresh start I then loaded both updates to illust cs3 which is now version 13.0.2. Extremely slow saving problem remains, however exporting to a .png works like a charm. Seems alot of people coming here for answer, but no luck. If I stumble on anything I'll return.

Slow open and save with psb files Photoshop CC

Here is my system info:
Mac Pro Early 2009
Processor 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 32 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
Software OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)
Running Photoshop off an SSD 220GB as my bootdisk , and then my scratches are two 1TB Western Digi Caviar Blacks, both at about 60% full, running Big and flat in PS CC prefs,
Running Photoshop CC 14.0.0
I'm having very slow open and save times for psb files ranging in size from 2GB to 6GB - slow meaning 5-6 mins
Does anyone have any suggestions to improve this time?

I've noticed the same thing with .tif files. It's taking a good minitue or more to save a 15 meg .tif. Very annoying. I opened PS4 and converted the same .jpg to a .tif and saved it in the same location and it took about 4 seconds. Something is totally jacked with saving files in CC.
Checked the compression settings and the are the same in both. Not a big fan of CC everything is slower. I pay monthly now to work slower?!? May have to go back to CS4.

I'm using a 15" Macbook Pro running OSX6.8 and cannot upgrade. I have a subscription to Adobe CC but none of these work on this so I was on with Adobe for 5 hours trying to install and launch Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Muse, and Acrobat Pro from CS6. Well, InDesign is the only one that works and I have a ton of work due! I don't have a serial number for Photoshop or Illustrator except for CS3, and they don't work. InDesign gave me no problems. Illustrator says it can't work on this machine. Photoshop needs a serial number. I'm stumped and getting anxious and freaked out. Can anyone help? Adobe Chat is down right now.

if you have a cc subscription, close ps > sign out and then back in to your cc desktop > open ps.
ai cs6 requires:
Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
Mac OS X v10.6.8 or v10.7. Adobe Creative Suite 5, CS5.5, and CS6 applications support Mac OS X v10.8 and v10.9 when installed on Intel-based systems.*
2 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
2 GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
1024 x 768 display (1280 x 800 recommended) with 16-bit video card

Need advice on printing - Illustrator, photoshop, indesign all printing wonky and I'm not savvy enou

Hi all, I run a small greeting card shop on Etsy (4four.etsy.com) and currently all my designs are A1 (3.5" x 4.75") which I design in Illustrator, export as PDF, and print using Photoshop on my Epson R1900. Then I use the trim marks to cut each card down in size. two cards on a page means 13 cuts per page for two finished cards.
The business has been taking off recently and I'm starting to try and scale up to be able to handle large volume Wholesale business. I decided that the small A1 size was too labor intensive and I should size my designs up to A2 (4.25" x 5.5").
After laying out an old design in a new A2 sized template in Illustrator I'm having some printing problems. I need to print full bleed for about 33% of my designs, but when I print the image isn't landing properly. Out of Illustrator the image is shifted to the right by 3/32" but lands just fine on the 5.5" mark.
here's an imgur Gallery of the Illustrator prints: http://imgur.com/a/P1HtW
I decided to try and lay out a 2-up document in InDesign but the result was very strange indeed. Both the images landed just fine at the 5.5" mark but were zoomed out in a strange way. The same thing happened in Photoshop.
Here's an imgur gallery of the ID and PS attempts: http://imgur.com/a/FzYQ2
I suppose I could just move my design images to the left 3/32" in Illustrator and output that way (that's the only way this has worked so far) but that seems like a jury rigged workaround instead of solving the actual problem.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance for your help and not mocking me for being rather amateur in this.

Focus on getting 1-up centered on an 8.5x11 page setup. Bleed or no bleed, add all of your trims and scores. Save as PDF and use that. Center the 4.25" x 5.5" inside a letter sized document. For volume work, you should be getting these printed offset and professionally on decent paper. Consider working with a local printer who you can easily talk to and get feedback on how to setup your files.

Yosemite is very slow when i switch on. can someone say why and i can solve the problem??

yosemite is very slow when i switch on. ten or more seconds. why? how i can solve this problem??
Thanks riccardo.italy.

The following items or conditions can slow a Mac. Please see if any of them apply:
1) Are you running any anti-virus/internet security applications?
2) Are you running any "cleaning/tune-up/optimizations" applications?
3) Any peer-to-peer or torrent downloading software?
4) Any third-party disk backup software that came bundled with an external hard drive?
5) Any online backup scheme other than iCloud or DropBox (Carbonite; GoogleDrive; MS One Drive)?
6) Did your financial institution ask you to install Trusteer EndPoint Protection (also known as Trusteer Rapport)?
If you can answer "yes" to any of those questions, you have some unneeded and performance-robbing software installed.

Not able to edit assets in Illustrator/Photoshop and save over existing assets in Edge animation

Not able to edit assets in Illustrator/Photoshop and save over existing assets in Edge animation to update image changes. Has Adobe changed this capability with new releases? Does this mean to update an asset on the Edge animation timeline, you have to copy and paste all the animations of that old asset over to the new imported asset?

Hi, CamShazam-
You should be able to save over existing assets in the images/ folder, then close and reopen the file. The other option is to save your assets and then use the swap image option in the properties panel. Is this what you're talking about? Thanks,
-Elaine

When I have resized and saved an image in Photoshop (CS, version 8.0 for Mac) using image size, why is it so large when I open it in preview or another image viewer? Has it actually saved according to the size I specified?

When I have resized and saved an image in Photoshop (CS, version 8.0 for Mac) using image size, why is it so large when I open it in preview or another image viewer? Has it actually saved according to the size I specified?

You want to view the image at the Print Size, which represents the size that shows in the Image>Resize Dialog.
View>Print Size
Since screen resolution is almost always lower that the print resolution (somewhere between 72 and 96 usually), images will always look bigger on the screen, unless you view them at print size.
(apple Retina displays have a much higher resolution than normal screens, closer to the average print size resolution)

Updating to Mavericks issues with Illustrator, Photoshop and Dreamweaver

Since updating to Mavericks I am having problems with Illustrator, Photoshop and Dreamweaver opening files on Parallels VM and network servers. Will updating Java to 7 help?
