Slowdown issue in Photoshop and Illustrator

I'm getting the spinning beach ball when doing various things in Photoshop and Illustrator. I'm running the newest version of CS6 on a 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB of RAM. When using type tool (default Myriad Pro font selected) I get, "Beach Ball" sometimes for up to a minute, then it works fine. When switching between Photoshop and Illustrator, "Beach Ball" again for up to a minute, then I get the new document dialog. Upon checking the console messages I'm seeing these errors a lot for both Photoshop and Illustrator:

Dededededede I would recommend reviewing your installation log files to determine if the installation or download has failed. If the installation has failed then there will be a specific error within the log which will determine why there was a failure. You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html.

Why Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 are so slow on my MacBook Pro early 2011?

First of all sorry for my english
I recently installed Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 and they tend to lag even on just during normal work operations like zooming, opening a file, selecting a tool, browsing menus etc etc.
Cpu, Ram and Gpu usage are normal, I mean when I use these software there's at list 85% of free Cpu, 1GB of Ram still available, and 80% of free GPU. And I got 30GB left on my hardrive which is little but I believe is enough.
So I cannot believe this slow performance is due hardware limitations. There must be some driver issue or something else.
Anyone knows why CS6 is so slow?
Software version:
Photoshop CS6 13.0.1
Illustrator CS6 13.0.0
My Specs:
Os: Snow Leopard 10.6.8
Cpu: Intel Core i7 2.3 GHz
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 8 MB
4GB ram
AMD Radeon HD 6750M

My experience is that Photoshop can demand and use prodigious amounts of memory and disk space, much more than one might expect from the size of the files being worked on. While I don't have direct experience with CS6, my daughter uses CS4 on a Macbook Air with 4 GB memory and she had 100 GB free (on a 250 GB solid state drive). CS4 is less demanding than CS6, and in fact with the SSD, it runs pretty well, even with just 4 GB memory (the solid state drive is basically like memory, in fact, in some ways). However after running Photoshop on some projects for a while, we noticed she had only 60 GB free disk space. After restarting her Mac, she had 100 GB free again. Photoshop CS4 was using up 40 GB of disk space! And this was simply editting some (multiple) photos from a digital camera. Photoshop not only has its own memory management processes, but it also pages to disk and uses disk space as "scratch space" in its own fashion. I think that it is inadvisable to run Photoshop with less than 100 GB free disk space, and that's with CS4, not even CS6. And if you don't have a solid state drive, the throughput might slow down immensely unless you have a lot of memory (I think someone else pointed this out already).
Bottom line -- based on what I have seen with CS4, 4 GB memory is too low by at least a factor of x2 (16 GB memory would be even better), and I'd say a minimum of 100 GB free disk space is a must as well. I saw CS4 using more than 40 GB of "scratch disk space" and you are using CS6, which must use significantly more resources than CS4, and you indicate only 30 GB free space. That seems too low to me. I think other Adobe major software packages are similarly demanding, unlike any other software I have seen or used. For instance, I think you would have no trouble running MS-Office software (which is also known for using computer resources, but not anywhere as much as Adobe software).
One thing you can do is when you notice things slowing down, not only quit all other software except for CS6, but also in the Finder, under the Go menu, enter
/private/var
under Go To Folder ...
and then look in the folder called
vm
If you see swapfiles, add up the total space they are taking, and also the space taken by the sleepimage file. These are working to decrease the amount of free space you have and they can quickly grow to tens of GB when Photoshop and other Adobe softwares are running.
Since it sounds like you have now upgraded your RAM, that should help, but you may find that the swapfiles and sleepimage files are taking even more disk apce faster and I think 100 GB free space is needed to avoid further slowdowns.

Tablet PC calibration error in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS3 whilst in Extended Desktop Mode

Hey everyone!
I've run into a snag which hasn't bugged me before because I never used a second monitor, but now that I do, Photoshop and Illustrator don't function properly.
I am running my Adobe products on my Lenovo X61 Thinkpad Tablet, which is Wacom PenEnabled. It's got the basic digitizer pen and pen pressure features, no stylus tilt or anything.
Whenever I run Photoshop or Illustrator in Extended Desktop Mode so I can have a different window open on my external monitor and the Adobe app on my tablet screen, my stylus goes strange. It seems to think that the extended desktop is part of the Adobe window, so when I move my stylus to draw, the cursor will appear on the external monitor, usually proportionate to the size of the screen...ie. It interprets the external and tablet screens as one desktop and the top left corner of my tablet screen is the top left of my external, whilst the bottom right on tablet IS the bottom right on tablet, if that makes any sense...sorry.
So I can't draw anything in photosho unless I set it back to standard desktop mode, or mirrored desktop. I've searched over the net and these forums and I can't find a fix for this. I was walking in harvey norman the other day and the Wacom Cintiq 12" was there on display, and it had the same issue with extended desktop and photoshop.
Has anyone had this issue before and/or does anyone know of a fix for it? I'll keep searching around and playing with the computer until I fix it and I'll post any solutions I find here if noone else has one.
My system details are:
Abobe Photoshop CS3 10.0.0
Adobe Illustrator CS3 13.0.0
OS: Windows Vista Build 6001, Service Pack 1, 32bit
RAM: 2GB
HD: 18.2GB free Disk Space (out of 66.3GB on the Active Partition)
Video: Intel GMA: Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family

I'm using an HP tx2011au tablet pc, using adobe flash cs3 and have the exact same problem. it becomes decalibrated only while the flash window is open, and only while flash has a file open, and only when using an extended desktop. even if flash is open and it has no files open it works fine.

Photoshop and Illustrator sometimes hang when working together (CS 5.5)

Hi all,
I'm working with Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium 5.5 and sometimes, when I have Photoshop and Illustrator opened together, if I try to open something a little more complex (but not to heavy), one of the programs hang or freeze.
This is a Windows 7 (64bits) Service Pack 1 environment, on a HP Workstation 2.67Ghz Quad with 8GB of RAM, using a NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800. At a first glance - and regarding the files usage - it doesn't seem to have a reason to happen.
I've updated the program versions and let Photoshop use more than 60% of the available RAM. When this happens, 50% of the physical RAM is available.
Besides having these two apps running, I have Outlook 2010, Linotype Font Explorer Pro and some LAN policies active.
Does anyone had a similar problem that could kindly help?
Many thanks,
Tiago

What does Windows Event Viewer say about the matter? if it is as arbitrary as you say, then it's most likely network issues or graphics issues. In the latter case simply install a suitable driver and configure it properly, in case of network issues (to which in particular Ilklustrator is extremely sensitive), store the files on a local harddrive.

Updating CC Photoshop and Illustrator on Mac stuck at 0%

I just installed Creative Cloud on a new Macbook Pro and was notified about Photoshop and Illustrator updates. I try update them and they just stay stuck at 0%. I've tried this a few different times on different days and wifi networks with the same result. Here are the screenshots.
It just stays like the second screenshot no matter how long I leave it there.
How can I update the software?

Photoshop and illustrator won't work in my macbook pro

i tried installing photoshop and illustrator and can't seem to open the applications. i keep getting messages to reinstall the applications. is anyone else having these problems or is it just me? i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. i was told that rosetta would help run these programs and they won't run.

I am using a MacPro, for 3 weeks now. I use CS1. When setting up the new computer it asked me if I wanted to copy data from another Mac. It was quick--did about 50 GB of data in under 2 hours--and I was able to instantly continue with my normal routine. It was WONDERFUL!
I've been using Illustrator a good bit since then and less so Photoshop. I've been having lots of crashes with Illustrator. It doesn't seem to play too well with Rosetta. But I know crashes are not uncommon for Illustrator on other operating systems and hardware. I was previously running CS1 on a G4 with 10.4.4 and had few problems with the programs. I've been reminded of the importance of frequent saving. I lost a file last week that was damaged beyond repair after the program crashed while the file was being saved.
Among applications that are legacy that I transferred to the new machine, Illustrator 10 and Photoshop 6 can both be opened on the machine, but I haven't done any test runs to see what happens. Illustrator kept trying to reopen files (using Open Recent File) with AI 10 instead of AI CS1, which was really strange, so I'm not using that feature. Much Classic/Carbon software I own will not run at all on the MacPro (QuarkXpress 5, Flash 5 included).
I think that Illustrator CS1 on the MacPro is more fitful. I use it with Panther on a G5 at work and it's relatively stable. I also did a software update yesterday that included a firmware update for the MacPro. I noticed things were much more stable on the machine last night, but it's too early to say that it partially or completely solved these operability problems.
I think we're just all on riding the new wave. There's bound to be some problems. Same thing happened when we all moved from OS 9 to OS 10, and with every interim upgrade some issues arise.

Slow swapping between Photoshop and Illustrator

I have had this issue for a while now where it takes forever to swap between photoshop and illustrator, even if nothing is on my clipboard. It also seems like it takes forever for photoshop to display its UI no matter what program I am working in prior to clicking on it on the task bar. Once I am in the programs, they run fine until I try to save or print, at which point to slow to a crawl again. It wasn't always like this, but I had to do a system restore a couple of weeks ago to fix a bad boot file, and now the programs run like crap. I have noticed that the person who worked here prior to me never uninstalled the previous versions of Design Standard. So I am just tyring to figure out a way to speed things up because this should not be going this slow.
My computer specs
Windows XP Professional
2.83ghz Quad Core Intel Processor
4GB RAM (tech under since XP pro only supports 3.3)
GeForce 9800 512MB Vid card
All my drivers have been updated and I did a registry cleaner which did not fix the problem. So any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Imo, you should establish a rather strict
color management strategy (examples):
1. Define in Photoshop:
RGB: AdobeRGB(98)
CMYK: ISOCoated
Gray: Black Ink ISO Coated (Custom profile)
Spot: Black Ink ISO Coated
2. Distribute this profile set by Bridge
3. Convert RGB images in Photoshop to CMYK
4. Define Color space in Illustrator as CMYK
5. Open the Photoshop file or the Tiff file in
Illustrator: here it looks as expected.
Problems: the CMYK file contains an ICC-profile
which is different to the global CMYK-definition.
Now it depends on the CMS strategies, and that's
the point where I'm usually giving up.
