Slow sliders in CS5 on Mac OS Lion
I have two machines with Photoshop, one is a PC and one is a Mac. The PC is less powerful than the Mac, yet sliders (like with opacity or on a levels adjustment layer) are MUCH slower on the Mac. On the PC, I slide a property and it is instantly reflected in the image (while sliding). However on the Mac (running Lion) the image takes a while to update when using a slider, and doesn't update DURING sliding, only when stopped.
Is this a Lion issue?
I haven't heard of anyone else seeing that, but there could be a bug specific to your video card/GPU. Apple would release the driver updates via System Update.
It could also be a bug in a third party plugin, or something else on your system.

Timing Panel problem in Indesign CS5 on Mac OSX Lion
I had created a document with some animations. It was playing fine in preview and even after export as swf.
Then I saved and restarted the system and then Indesign started crashing everytime I tried to preview animations.
Later I realised that the timing panel is empty even though the page has many animated elements. This happened for all pages.
I had backed up a copy of the document before I restarted..it happened the same in that. Indesign keeps on crashing everytime I preview animation.
I even tried creating a new document from scratch and added animation to objects in a single page document. But the timing panel is still empty.
Has anyone faced such problem. Am I missing anything?
Please help!First thing is to update InDesign to the latest patch.
Help>updates.

Dear Adobe.
Yesterday I installed the latest version of Flash Player that auto appeared on my screen. Ever since I can not play video, and my system has become painfully slow. I have Mac OS Lion 10.7.5 and software is up to date. Before this everything was running beautifully. Can you please provide a link so I can uninstall the latest version only. Thank you. Stephen Kress. Melbourne. AustraliaWhen you run the uninstaller, it will uninstall all Flash Player versions.
If you want to revert to an older version after that, get it from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html -
I have a Fuji X-Pro1 camera. I use Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5 I have Photoshop CS5. How do I open its RAW files?
Since photoshop cs5 can't use past the camera raw 6.7 plugin and that camera requires at least the camera raw 7.1 plugin, you could use the 8.7.1 dng converter
to convert the files to dng copies, which then photoshop cs5 should be able to open.

InDesign CS5 crashes on startup - Mac OSX Lion
Hi Everyone,
I've reinstalled InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator CS5 after upgrading to Mac OSX Lion,
Photoshop and Illustrator work fine but InDesign crashes on startup.
I've followed a few threads on here, one suggested creating a new adimistrator-level user on my machine - and that works, but I can't figure out what to fix in my regular user to make InDesign work in here again...
This is the error report I'm getting:
http://pastebin.com/a2LrMFdw
Help, anyone?
Thanks a lot!I'm having a similar problem but I haven't been able to get it to work. I created a new administer level user but InDesign still won't open under that user. I've tried the other suggestions as well with no success. Please help!!!! It really doesn't help that I'm in South East Asia traveling with no fast internet to be found. :\

Very slow Mac OSX Lion download from App Store
Hi All,
I have recently purchased Mac OSX Lion (3 days ago) on App Store (Malaysia). The download is extremely slow and
I am not sure if there could be any other problem contributing to this issue.
Currently I have only completed about 1.61GB out of 3.74GB after 3 days. But, it was not a continuous download but
rather stop and resume every 3 hours. My internet connection speed as I checked on speedtest.net was 4Mbps.
The time left to complete the download is shown as 2 days and 20 hours. I think it's not sensible to have such a
long time to complete the download with an available connection speed of 4Mbps.
Any solutions for this problem ?Thank you for keeping the thread alive.
Now I'm experiencing better download speeds with remaining time of (7 hours and a few minutes).
The connection speed I have is about 5Mbps.
I would suggest anyone with download speed issues to follow several maintanence tips (if not all) from here :

It may not seem worthy or the "solution for the problem" but it has certainly made the difference for me. -

Photoshop CS5 und Indesign CS3 frieren seit Mac OS Lion nach Inaktivität ein
Seit Update auf Mac OS Lion (ca. Sept. 2011) frieren vor allem Photoshop CS5 und Indesign CS3 nach einer Weile der Inaktivität regelmäßig ein.
Dazu ist es nicht nötig, dass der Mac (MacPro) in Ruhezustand geht, es reicht schon, dass man z.B. eine Weile in Indesign arbeitet und das nebenei offene Photoshop
ist plötzlich tot und lässt sich nur noch durch Alt-Apfel-Escape beenden.
Bislang habe ich auf dieses Problem nirgends eine Antwort gefunden, vielleicht weiß hier jemand im Forum Rat?
Ansonsten habe ich an den Programmen nichts geändert seit dem Update (sind auch stets auf neuestem Stand).
Bei 10.6 hatte ich das Problem nie.
Durch Schriften ausschalten (der übliche Verdächte) konnte ich auch nichts beheben.
Dennoch könnte, so mein Verdachte, es in diese Richtung gehen, denn:
alle CS-Programme (aller Versionen, ich benutze Kundenbedint CS 3 bis 5) mit Schriften sind betroffen, aber z.B. Bridge nicht.Vielen Dank für die schnelle Antwort. Ich denke auch, dass es sich um ein Problem mit OS X handelt. Aber da es nur PSD-Dateien getroffen hat und keine PNG-Daten (die ich ebenfalls bearbeitet hatte), liegt es womöglich am Zusammenspiel von Adobe und OS X.
Ich dachte, womöglich taucht das Problem bei jemand Anderem auch auf.
Festplatten scheinen OK zu sein, Rechte auch – habe das aber nur mit dem Festplattendienstprogramm überprüft – von Onyx wird ja generell abgeraten. TechTool muss ich mir erst ansehen.
Habe auch mal den Parameter RAM gelöscht (NVRAM), auch wenn es daran eignentlich nicht liegen kann.
Da die Dateien nur noch 50-60kb haben, ist da wohl auch mit Wiederherstellung nicht viel zu machen, oder?
Allerdings ist ging nur die Arbeit von einem Vormittag verloren, da ich täglich Backups mache!
Womöglich muss ich den Rechner komplett neu aufsetzen... seufz
Sonst kann ich einfach nicht sorgenfrei arbeiten. -

Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
Start with a visit to: OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. SyncTwoFolders
6. Synk Pro
7. Synk Standard
8. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Additional Hints
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file. -
Photoshop CS5 not working with my epson 1640xl scanner on Mac OS Lion
Just loaded CS5 on Mac 10.7. I downloaded and installed the latest OSX Epson 1640xl scanner software, and also copied the Twain plugin from the Adobe Goodies CD to the Photoshop > Plugins > Import/Export folder.
Rebooted the computer, power off and unplugged my USB scanner, fired it back up, restarted Photoshop, etc. It no longer shows up in Photoshop>File>Import
But Photoshop doesn't see my scanner at all. In fact, the TWAIN plugin doesn't even show up in the plugins folder list.
Little Help? How do I fix this? Everything worked perfectly with Mac 10.6 I also took the scanner into a epson dealer and the scanner works perfectly.
[email protected]That scanner is sort of old, and doesn't have a 64 bit driver.
As Noel said: use Photoshop in 32 bit addressing mode to work with older drivers and plugins. -
Hi guys,
Do you know a site which I could download the windows support software for my mac book air running MAC OSX Lion. Using bootcamp takes a very long time and seems to be stuck. Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks.Whart exactly are you having problems with?
Installing Boot Camp, manually updating the B.C. Drivers, Apple software update updating the drivers, or Windows Software updates?
You will or have a full Windows install. _ALL_ Microsoft Windows software is through Microsoft or 3rd partys. Apple just supplies the drivers for their hardware to be run in Windows.
If you want to manually install the Boot Camp drivers then try here?:
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Underneath the hardrive picture is a link for _Downloads_, it shows up as an error in my browser but when i put in "Boot Camp" in the "Search Downloads" bar I got a large list.
Hope that helps..... -

How do I copy the Mac OS Lion after upgrading?
How do I copy the Mac OS Lion after upgrading. I upgraded to OS Lion and now I want to do clean install because my macbook became slower since i installed lion.
Please, help! Thanks.You need to get on a Snow Leopard system, log into the App Store with your Apple ID, then download the Lion installer. The re-download is free. After the installer is downloaded it will start automatically. Now, quit the installer. You can now make a copy of the installer that you will find in the Applications folder.
Now, you also may be able to get this to work: Open the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key while clicking on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. This is supposed to activate the Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. Clicking the Install button will then re-download the Lion installer. -
Mac OS Lion CS 5.5 "Pre-Chrome" Install Problem / Solution!
After hours and days of frustration surrounding what should have been a very simple update from CS5 to CS5.5 on Mac OSX Lion (the latest version), I finally found a solution that makes perfect sense, and acutally works.
Here's my brief rant:
Adobe - you seriously need to work on your Tech Support. I've been a customer since Photoshop 2.0 and this is no bueno. Having someone tell me to create an Admin user account on my system with username "test" and "no password" is not helpful nor a good idea. Suggesting that I open up all my permissions to 777 also not a good idea. You need to seriously review your Tech Support team's scripts. Either way neither of these soltuions worked. Anyways I am done with my rant as I want this article to be HELPFUL TO PEOPLE who are super frustrated like me.
Here's what I discovered:
Here's the deal - if you upgrade to lion recently, you probably had an older version of a CS product on your computer. My guess is that when you migrated over some permissions got screwed up and the installer couldn't overrride the correct files it needs to because they are locked under a different user account (fair enough adobe, sounds more like Apple's problem). A friend suggested doing a hard reformat and reinstalling lion fresh via USB drive, probably a good idea but who's got the time?
So anyways, I kept getting a "pre-chrome" error in the debug output and kept seeing the "Accept Terms & Conditions" window no matter how many times I re-installed, wiped my files etc. Uber lame.
The solution turned out to be 'duh' simple from my PC user co-worker "Why don't you just install it under root access?" Ok, for those of you who don't know what root means, it basically just is the account who is authorized to write over all other user accounts. Apple turns this off by default because most people never need to user it. Unless you come across something like this...
Steps:
1. Uninstall anything you got going with CS, the more the better - you're going to reinstall it again anyways (just keep your serials around).
2. Consider downloading the CS Cleaner product that Adobe offers and wipe it all down (probably not required but can't hurt).
3. Follow these instructions on your Admin account to enable root temporarily: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1528 (BTW the Edit one is hard to find, they mean the acutal Edit menu on the top of the screen).
4. Install your CS 5.5.
5. This one is IMPORTANT - when it asks you to authenticate use your ROOT login and password, not your normal one. This grants the installer the abililty to write over other files.
6. Finish the install, check it out. If it worked you probably want to de-activate the root login for safety's sake.gdoddsdesign thank you for the great tips I am sure this will help other users within the forum. You may still want to keep an eye on your administrator group permissions. If you had to go to root to resolve the issue, and even the newly created User account had compromised permissions, then there could still be some problems out there.
Many times though once software is installed under a root user it will continue to work without any additional modifications needed on the administrator account.
I also really like the tip about disabling root user at the end btw. Often users and technicians get so excited that the issue is solved they can forget this step.
