Unuseable AI CS6 delays with placed files

Anyone else having my problem. So now I feel like I am going backwards!
For years I have created files in AI which contain a number of placed .psd files. I have been upgrading AI without incident, but going from AI CS5.5 to AI CS6 is a disaster.
To open my files seems to take forever. To prove I wasn't going insane. I opened files from the same attached disk in the older version and they open just fine, yet opening those files in the CS6 version is unacceptable. If you wait a really long time they will open but what is the problem and how do I tell AI to not behave this bad way?
I have done all the usual fixes of clearing all the caches and rebooting, but it's always unuseable, so here I am.
I am on a MacPro3,1 Quad Core Intel Xeon, 8 GB RAM (I know I should install more).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, and so long for now, TOM

Hi Wade,
Thank you for the pointers. It's a shame that the link above goes to an article that only covers X.5, and not later versions of Mac OS. I am on X.6.8 and I am not sure if the command templates for Chown & Chmod are accurate. That didn't seem to solve the problem when I used Terminal on my back up partition to run those commands.
I did discover that if I use a new user (I have one set up for testing), CS6 AI worked OK and opened the file which takes over 5 minutes to open in my user account specific probem account in less than a minute.
So I sure wish there is something you can add that will help me solve the issue. I have deleted all CS6 AI Prefs and caches and cleared the font caches from the user account specific probem account. My computer is in tip top shape and I frequently Repair permissions, and verify my disk, and all seems well on that front.
I am now wondering if I totally reinstall CS6 AI and Update it if theat is worth the effort or not.
This is over 6 hours of troubleshooting and nothing much to show.
Thanks in advance, and so long for now, TOM

  • Premiere Pro CS6 issues with .MOV files

    I am having problems with .MOV files from my Nikon 5100.
    They play very choppy.  Multicam REALLY has issues with the .MOV files as it will play ten frames and freeze.  Usually crashing Premiere altogether.
    Anyone know how to optimize my system to play these .MOV files so the can be worked with?  I've updated my videocard firmware and Quicktime.

    Anyone know how to optimize my system to play these .MOV files so the can be worked with?
    The logical steps would probably be:
    Get a better PC
    Don't use QuiRcktime but rename the .MOV file to .MPG
    Tune your system. Also for Win7: Adobe Forums: Guide for installing and tuning a Vista...

  • Is there anything in the world wrong with "placing" a PSD file in CS5?

    Friends,
    EMERGENCY !
    I need to know if there's anything wrong with "placing" ( + D) a PSD photograph in CS5??
    I was using PNG, but Photoshop won't save as CMYK .png files.
    I was using .tif files, but TIF files don't preserve transparency.
    Therefore, can I just use .PSD files?  They seem to work just fine ...
    Help!  Thanks!

    Since we're talking about InDesign CS5, there is a wrinkle.

    (1)     TIFF files certainly do preserve transparency. Make sure you select that option when saving TIFF.
    And unfortunate pragmatic isue is that Photoshop CS6 changed the way it stores transparency in TIFF files, and it stopped saving obsolete legacy data. And InDesign CS5 (but not CS6) depended on that legacy data. So if you're using PS CS6 and ID CS5 (the subject here indicates ID CS5) and you care about transparency, it's not a good idea to use TIFF.
    (Personally I would tend to want to use TIFF, if this were not the case.)
    I think this "bug" got fixed in ID CS5.5 (#3073238), but I don't think it is fixed in CS6 CS5.
    Edit: not fixed in CS5! Not "not fixed in CS6"

  • Adobe Premiere CS6 'Create new Trimmed Project' Crash with .MXF files

    Yesterday I started to back up all our students work, and found that the "Create New Trimmed Project" no longer works in CS6 with .MFX files.
    Adobe Premiere CS6.0.3,  crashes when I try to "Create New Trimmed Project" under "Project Manager"
    This only happens when there are .MXF files in the Sequence.
    As we use Panasonic P2 cameras at this university, this is a problem, as this is the format that they shoot in.
    As a test I have made a Project with only one .MXF file placed on the sequence, and it crashes.
    This happens on my Macs and Windows machines with Adobe Premiere CS6 .
    Adobe Premiere CS5.5 works fine, and does not crash.
    Unfortunately I cant save a CS6 project as a CS5.5
    If you don't have any .MXF files to test this,
    You can make your own .MXF files by exporting any video file as "MXF OP1a" or "P2 Movie" Format, (the Preset setting is irrelevant - any preset will cause it)
    P.S.
    Using "Collect files and Copy to new Location" under "Project Manager" works fine, but does not reduce project size as much.

    I also discovered this behavior last summer.  Unfortunately the best (lame) answer I could find was that "Some formats, such as Long GOP based media files, cannot trim media, or add handles."  Source:  http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS1c9bc5c2e465a58a91cf0b1038518aef7-7c72a .html
    That's not very specific, but in my case at least (and it sounds like in your case, too) .MXF may be another file type that cannot be trimmed.  If I remember correctly, the answers I got from others was that they were able to export fine.  My machine (and maybe yours) has an issue that nobody else seems to have encountered.  So none of the prescribed remedies allowed me to move forward in this regard.
    After much searching, asking and several suggestions from various Premiere communities, I gave up and moved on. 
    Use Remove Unused and then Collect Files and Copy to New Location.  At least that can help you if you have a lot of clips.  In my case, it didn't help much, because my very short clips were edited from very long takes, so as Premiere sees it, not much was "unused".
    Be aware that "Project Manager does not copy and collect After Effects compositions that are dynamically linked to an Adobe Premiere Pro project. Project Manager does save the Dynamic Link clip in the trimmed project as an offline clip, however."
    Wish I could offer you more.

  • How does one deal with transparency in a placed file in InDesign?

    I suppose this may seem elementary, but I'm relatively new to it so here goes:
    First off, my print shop says that placed images should be in EPS format. I'm creating my files in Illustrator and some of them use a gradient mask to fade an object away. When saved as an EPS, the gradient mask shows as a white box instead of fading into the background. When I copy/paste my Illustrator image into a new Photoshop file, save it as a PSD, bring that PSD into Illustrator and save it as an EPS, the whole file is in a white box.
    Example. I want those aisle markers to not be in white boxes.

    Thanks.

    If possible, one finds a new printer who can handle your files properly and doesn't insist on .eps.
    What format are you delivering to the Printer? If it's anything other than PDF (and that's at their request) all the more reason to reread the first sentence. Why on earth are you moving things from Illustrator to Photoshop and back to Illustrator? Either one of those will save as .eps (ugh), though you need to use a clipping path for transparent areas coming out of photoshop (don't really know how Illy handles it when you say to save .eps with transparent background), but you are FAR better off with either native .AI or .PSD, both of which support transparencey, unlike .eps.If yo are delivering PDF, as you should be, it makes no difference to the printer what format the placed content uses (and it shouldn't matter to him even with native files unless he's hopelessly stuck in the 90s).
    In any event, when importing from Illustrator, make sure to show the import options and check the transparent background box.

  • Photoshop CS6 keeps freezing when I work with large files

    I've had problems with Photoshop CS6 freezing on me and giving me RAM and Scratch Disk alerts/warnings ever since I upgraded to Windows 8.  This usually only happens when I work with large files, however once I work with a large file, I can't seem to work with any file at all that day.  Today however I have received my first error in which Photoshop says that it has stopped working.  I thought that if I post this event info about the error, it might be of some help to someone to try to help me.  The log info is as follows:

    I really hope to hear from someone soon, my job requires me to work with Photoshop every day and I run into errors and bugs almost constantly and all of the help I've received so far from people in my office doesn't seem to make much difference at all.  I'll be checking in regularly, so if you need any further details or need me to elaborate on anything, I should be able to get back to you fairly quickly.
    Thank you.

    Here you go Conroy.  These are probably a mess after various attempts at getting help.

  • I would like to work with DICOM files so I may buy Photoshop CS6 Extended. Can a TIFF be exported from a DICOM file in Photoshop CS6 Extended?

    I would like to work with DICOM files so I may buy Photoshop CS6 Extended. Can a TIFF be exported from a DICOM file in Photoshop CS6 Extended?

    Also, I am looking through the Adobe website, and I can't find any place where Photoshop CS6 Extended is even offered for purchase. Is it extremely well hidden, or is it not available?

  • XDCAM-EX problem with .MOV files on Premiere CS6

    Hello!
    I've been working in a video project on Premiere CS5 with video files .MOV from a JVC camera and from a Sony XDCAM EX. I've installed the Premiere CS6 TRIAL. The project has been converted: I get to watch and edit the .MOV files from the JVC Cam, BUT I can't load the media .MOV from XDCAM EX, It says the codec is missing or unavailable... I got the same problem with some .DV files working before on CS5...
    I looked for the codec info and I found this one: MediaCoreQTCodecRulesCS6.xml
    It shouldn't be working?
    Why if all the files were working with Premiere CS5, They are not with Premiere CS6, being this one the latest version of the software? Is it due to be a trial version of the software?
    I would really appreciate your help on this issue!
    Have a good day!
    Zoila

    Officially you need FCP installed to work with XDCAM EX Movs. Are you on a mac or PC?
    However, this is an update for quicktime on macs that gives you the XDCAM EX codec:

    Not sure if there's an equivalent for PCs.

  • Problems exporting to PDF with AI placed files

    I have a 24 page document with placed illustrator files. When I go to export to PDF it takes hours to export. When I change all the placed images to JPG it exports fine. Anyone know why this is happening. I thought the whole point of the newer versions of InDesign was you were able to use native Adobe files.
    What are the best file types to place in InDesign?

    If would help to know versions and OS. ALWAYS tell us the version(s) of program(s) you are using, what OS, and the version of that OS. Some people overdo it with model and  speed of CPU, RAM, video card, monitor size, hard drive space, make and model of car, and shoe size. Don’t need any of that crap.

  • ITunes has stopped automatically syncing new books placed in Library with open file. I have to drag the file to the device to get iTunes to sync the book. Why

    iTunes has stopped automatically syncing new books placed in Library with open file. I have to drag the file to the device to get iTunes to sync the book. Why?
    Ever since version. 7 iTunes has stopped syncing checked books without dragging them to my iPad. all settings are correct.  I have set up 3 new devices and had to direct the new people to drag the books to their iPad. previous to ver. 7 this happened automaticlly just by syncling the device.  This issue isn't just on my computer but at least three others. books purchased from apple sync just fine. If is drag the book from the library ad drop it on the device it syncs fine.  What a pain if you have added several files now you either have to do the drag drop process for each one as you add it or try and remember which files you added the find them and do the process. 
    Thanks

    Hello BBWEST11,
    This may be due to iTunes 11 being set to manually manage content on devices by default.
    By default, iTunes 11 and later is set to manually manage your content on your device. Manually managing your device allows you to choose the content you want to have with you.

  • I've downloaded two adobe cs6 files to a new computer.  How do I activate photoshop with these files?

    I've downloaded two adobe cs6 files to a new computer.  How do I activate photoshop with these files?

    i said the 2nd file name you listed in message 6 was incorrect, not the file name in message 8.
    but if the file name message 8 is correct, both names in message 6 are incorrect.  or you just might have a typo for the first file name.
    in any case, make sure both file names are exactly the same but have different (a 7z and an exe) extensions, put both in the same directory and then click the exe.

  • Premiere CS6 crashes with 1920 x 1080p files

    I have recently been using my Sony A77 SLR as a video source. I had no problems with MP4 files 1440 x 1080 to match my HDV cameras. Now I have tried AVCHD 1920 x 1080 files, Premiere crashes. I do not even have to edit anything. After loading files, then using the project bin to browse files by hovering with the mouse, the application will bomb after looking at a few files.

    Hi Steven and Lasvideo. I am not sure that a short piece will help. I just brought in 4 selections from 400MB clips and it was OK. It then crashed when I double-clicked to load another for editing in the Preview window.
    My system is Windows 7, i& with 12GB RAM and a Qudro 400 card. Premiere has just been updated to 6.0.3, but I still had the problem in 6.0.2. Waiting on a RAID array, so currently using internal drives or USB 3 externals. These have been fine for everything lse, including multicam of HDV with 6+ cameras.
    I tried going back to the software, rather than GPU from the 400, but it made no difference. I also have discussion started about the NV Transmit windows popping up all the time, but no one has replied yet.
    Have spent a lot of time with NVIDA helpdesk, trying to diagnose that problem, and have tried several drivers with no improvement.
