UI delay when dragging

When dragging a key frame or object it takes about 10 seconds to let go of that object or key frame. I'm working in a after effects comp that uses 3d lights solids and ai vector imaged. The file was started on a Windows machine in which it had no issues
-I'm working in after effects on my new mac pro that is currently the fastest and most expensive computer that apple sells 5/25/14.
-I'm working in an after effects comp that uses 3d lights solids and ai vector images.
-The file was started on a Windows machine in which it had no issues.
On the Mac. Moving lights or key frames in the time line it really lags really lag and is barely workable.
Just got this mac wondering if I need to adjust settings. I hope...
BTW other things are in fact very fast such as ram preview

Delay when using doubletap and hold with bootcamp 5

Hi,
I just bought a 15" MBPro and discoverd a delay when I use doubletap and hold to scroll or to mark text or drag. Is this a know problem of the bootcamp trackpad driver?
Hoping for answers
Bye
Michael

I have the same problem, except that I'm using the Apple Trackpad in Windows 8 in Boot Camp on a 2012 iMac, so my guess is that the driver is to blame.

IPhone 4s Voice Memo App has 5 second delay when the record button is pressed. When it starts recording, it goes from 0 seconds to 5 or so seconds recorded. This happens randomly and often and sometimes has the delay but starts at zero. Solution Anyone?

After iOS 7 update, my iPhone 4s Voice Memo App has 5 second delay when the record button is pressed. When it starts recording, it goes from 0 seconds to 5 or so seconds that it shows has recorded. This happens randomly and often, sometimes it will have the 5+ second delay but starts recording at zero seconds. Besides the delay it has been working fine as far as saving and playback is concerned. I have plenty of storage on the phone itself and it NEVER had this problem before I updated to iOS 7. I've reset the phone a couple times by holding down the power and home buttons at the same time. The reason I have an issue with this is that I'm always recording song ideas, melodies, and scratch takes; what I'm saying is when I come up with an idea I need to be able to know that when I hit record it will start right then so I don't forget anything that has just popped in my mind.
Does anyone have a solution or suggestion?
Thanks

When dragging mail to a new folder in Mail, the item sticks to my cursor and won't let go.

I like to keep certain emails organized in folders. When dragging my mail today, the envelope icon on the cursor stuck to it, would not release to the selected folder and would not move the item. In the menu pull down, I could access an option under Message saying Move to (folder) again. Force Quitting helps, but after relaunching, the behavior recurs if I try to drag and drop. The envelope icon remains stuck to the cursor, even if I go to another application. It doesn't resolve until I Force Quit again.

Update: same thing was happening with Safari 6.1.1 when I tried to drag a URL from toolbar so could save a Webloc. Then I restarted my Mac and both problems went away. Sure hope it's permanent!

Why, since CS6 does DW now use ABSOLUTE image paths when dragging images into Design View from a folder in Finder?!

While I am grateful the previous issue I had with not being able to drag files into design view at all (in CC and CC2014) was resolved.
Guys (Adobe), seriously, if you're going to change the functioning of something that used to work just fine, at least supply a way for a user to revert to the old way... I absolutely loathe that I need a legacy version of DW to continue with my current workflow. Please put it back to the way it was, or at least allow a user to chose between the two behaviours.
If there is a way to do this, without using the Site Manager (which still doesn't work from Finder even with relative to document selected), I would appreciate any guidance.
As for using the Site Manager (before some smart guy suggests that I just use that) I do not wish to navigate to and create up to 20 "sites" a week and wait for DW to cache them all, when I am already in the folder with the image assets in Finder.
Also before someone pipes up and says: "You shouldn't be diving sites in design view anyway", I don't... I develop many, many newsletters every week and the folder structure is such that navigation to the actual image folder using the Site Manager would be painful at best.
I don't really like having to and replace all instances of "file:///Users/me/Work/company/Mailers/Year/wk14/mailer/dev/img/prod5.jpg". It is horrendously wasteful, time-wise.
Thanks in advance for any helpful replies

Sorry Murray, DW used to have an idea, my point is that since CS6 its developed a case of Amnesia.
The "elements" are in the "root" folder as follows:
newslettername.htm
img
imagename.jpg
So the relative path would be <img src"img/imagename.jpg" />
However since the change: <img src"file:///Users/me/work/Company/year/week/campaign/img/imagename.jpg" />
Which is completely useless and needs to be corrected before I upload the html anywhere.
As for using the site directory, I did answer that in my initial post. I use a laptop, I really don't want a site manager taking half my screen just so I can see the folder structure and navigate with that, especially since I am already at the files I need in Finder.
Again, this is something that used to work just fine in previous iterations of DW, so I don't believe Adobe is incapable of fixing it nor am I being unreasonable asking for a choice for those that may find the local absolute paths useful in some way. All I want is to be able to chose not to use absolute paths when dragging from Finder.

Screen flicker when dragging documents

Does anyone experince screen flicker when dragging files from the Finder to the Desktop?
Here's a short video showing the problem.

I am running Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8 (12A206j)) and just started to experience similar issues (see image below) When scrolling up or down a webpage. It happens randomly, and there are only a few applications open (Photoshop, Pages Safari). I have reset PRAM, but am not holding my breath on that...

Scroll bar does not slide when dragged using curser in word

I need answers to two questions.
1.   How to maximise a word document to full window size.
2.   Why the side scroll bar of a document does not slide when dragged.
3.   Am very used to the "delete", "page up and page down" keys and cant find them on keyboard.
Thanks.

What you can try if the above doesn't work, is deleting the scroll bar from your Data List, and then dropping it back in from the Library. The act of re-adding the scrollbar may get you the desired behavior.
If that doesn't work, you will probably need to post your project so we can take a look.

Preview Icons vanishing when dragged into new folder.

When dragging an image file (with a preview icon showing the small representation of that image) is dragged from it's original folder to a new one, the preview disappears and is replaced with a generic "EPS" or "Jpeg" grey icon. Futher, if I get information about the file, the preview picture of the image also shows just a generic file type icon, even though I can see clearly the preview icon. This is so frustrating, as I must then batch process images in photoshop to have a new preview image show up.
To make things even more annoying, the process is inconsistent. If I drag the a eps file from the original folder with the image preview into a new folder, the preview may be missing. If I drag and drag, creating multiple copies of the file in a new folder "hnuewf.eps 1, .2, .3 etc...) almost always one of these attempts will copy correctly, with the preview intact. What the heck is going on!

Partilly solved by rebuilding permissions....

Delay when using BC partition in VMware Fusion

Hi everyone,
I've been wondering about this for months now and finally decided to ask for your experiences.
When using my Windows (XP Pro 32bit) Boot Camp partition as a VM in Fusion I always get a delay when the desktop appears and the taskbar items are loading. I can see that the VM Tools seem to be loading (taskbar icon) while this is happening. This usually takes at least 10-15 seconds on my MBP (C2D with 4 GB RAM) and it has been the same for the last few versions of OS X and Fusion.
Is this delay normal when using the BC partition? It definitely isn't there when booting a regular VM. If so, how long does it take for you?
Thanks!
Björn

Nope, KBDMGR.EXE is located in "Program Files" and autostarted via the RUN registry-entry. It's seemingly not even a real driver, but merely a bridging process that administers the drivers.
If you run bootcamped Windows without KBDMGR you cannot use the special function keys (brightness, loudness etc) and at least in Vista you have to do some manual settings every time you start Windows in order make tap-to-click usable without KBDMGR (a better and easier way is to start KBDMGR once and then stop it again if you don't want/need it).
Manually enabling tap-to-click and chosing the Boot-OS is possible without KBDMGR being loaded even once, you can just call the settings application from Windows/System32. The Readme coming with my Script explains how to find that and possibly use a keyboard- or icon-shortcut for that.
Theoretically it can be stopped/killed via Process-Manager and started manually by just calling the exe file. Practically that only works as long as the RUN entry in the registry remains intact and points to an existing file.
Along other things my script explains how to replace KBDMGR.EXE with a dummy file which in turn allows to start Windows without it and later loading it manually if needed (preferably via a keyboard- or icon-shortcut as described in the Readme of my script).
Personally I use Right-ALT+, for opening the Settings and Right-ALT+. for switching KBDMGR on/off (along with switching the F-Keys from Standard to Special functions alongways). Works like a charm.

Midi Delay when Using Rewire?

I am experiencing really bad midi delay when using
LE7.1 & Reason 3.0 in Rewire mode.
Should this be happenening? I take it that I am setup properly for rewire or I would not hear anything at all. I can trigger Reason synths via LE in rewire mode but the delay is so bad that it is unplayable.I thought "latency" issues only occured when using audio. I have tried different buffer sizes to no avail.
Any ideas?

ok I'll answer my own post.
Issue was a toggle box in LE prefs to control "Rewire Behaviour". Set it to "Live mode" not "Playback" mode solves this issue.

No display when dragging regions

normally, when dragging audio and midi regions in the arrangement window, a transparent copy of the selected region appears right when you left click and hold, and this copy follows the mouse icon so you can see exactly where you're moving it before you let go of the left click.
my copy isnt showing up at all, so when click, hold, and drag, i don't see anything except the mouse icon. so i don't know where i'm dragging the regions to until after it's there. i must have accidentally turned the display off somehow. how do i fix this?

Greetings Troy,
Are you getting the startup chime *bong* and / or do you feel air coming out the ventalation port so you know it is powering on at all?
Reset the SMC and then test: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Reset the PRAM and then test: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html
Remove any RAM that you may have installed after you bought the computer and put in the original memory (if applicable) and test.
Try a different wall outlet for the computer, one that is currently working fine for another electrical device.
If the issue persists after you follow the above steps, you may wish to make an appointment with a Mac Genius at an Apple store, contact AppleCare via phone, or contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider for assistance.
Best of luck to you.

Blurred preview image when dragging playhead in Animation Timeline

Hi,
when I move the playhead (of the Animation Timeline) by hand back and forth, the image get's blurred untill I stop dragging. This is really annoying since I need to draw and animate some small shapes in pixel perfect manner and can't see the difference between the frames because of the blurred image.
It is not blurred when I use the "Go to Next Frame" buttons in the timeline window, but this is cumbersome as I have to quickly compare frames by going back and forth.
I understand that PS probably gives me a compressed version of the images so it can actually play the animation fast, but I am talking about a hand full of frames in low resolution (1000x1000) on a Macbook Pro Retina with 16 GB RAM!
My Performance setting are all up (90% RAM allocated to PS, enough free space on my SSD Hard Drive). I also tried different settings for the History and Cache.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
Marek

OK, I found out the reason I wasn't hearing the sound when dragging the playhead was due to the fact that in the properties for the sound I had the Sync set
to Event, but I needed to set it to Stream. Then it works fine!

Urgent: left and right cut off when dragging entire clip to project

When I right click the clips in the event library and click "Select entire clip" and drag that to the project window, the left and right sides of the video are cut off. If I select only a single clip and drag that up or a portion of a clip, it looks ok. I need to get this thing done in an hour or so and I am baffled because there are people in this video that are being cut off! Help!

Actually, the more I look at it, the entire frame is cropped, even though I have "Initial Video Placement" set to fit in frame, not crop. The quality really gets lousy too when dragging them in. I am baffled why dragging a single clip fits the entire video, but dragging the entire clip series gets cropped...??
