Very slow print performance after installing Photoshop CC

Hello-
A colleague of mine has been using Photoshop CS2 forever. I finally convinced her to upgrade to a newer version, and we installed Photoshop CC on her Win 7 Pro desktop.
She is trying to print today, and jobs that would take no time at all in CS2 are taking exorbitant amounts of time when sent from CC. For example, we open a PSD in CS2 that is 15MB. We choose "Print with preview" and then send 25 jobs to the printer. From hitting the button to the last item coming out of the printer, we're done in less than 2 minutes.
If we open the same file from CC and print, it's taking about 1 minute per copy, or about 25 minutes in total.
The problem seems to be with Photoshop sending the job to the printer, as we can see the jobs increment in the printer display at wildly different rates depending on which version we print from.
The same problem appears with pretty much any PSD or TIF. If we conver the file to PDF from CC and then print from a PDF application (not CC), print speeds fly again.
Any ideas on where I should start troubleshooting? (As an aside, the GPU on her computer isn't particularly good, but I would hope that the print engine doesn't require it.)
Thank you in advance.

The problem seems to be with Photoshop sending the job to the printer...
The very first thing I would do is hit the website for the printer manufacturer and make sure you have the latest print drivers. Second thing is go to preferences and make sure Photoshop has enough RAM assigned and decent space on the scratch disk. Putting the scratch on an SSD or different drive helps a lot. But the RAM is the main thing. You didn't mention the PC/Mac or RAM, I would assume you have at least 16GB and at a very minimum, 8GB on that machine. Then allocate 75% of the RAM to Photoshop. Hope that helps!

MacBook Pro 13 " going slower in performance after Installing LION OSX

Hey Guys ,
I had noticed some problems in my MacBook Pro 13" which I bought in the MID of 2011 ( i5 processor ) , I had purchased and installed LION OSX and observed after installing that my Backlite ( Keyboard ) dont get on when I start up at the LOG IN , which used to work in SNOW LEOPARD .
Booting takes SO SO SO long as when comapared with the previous OS .
Heating Problem is also a must to mention .
If you guys know how to reduce these problems please help me out !
Thank You .

I'm curious if you ever found a solution for this issue. I recently purchased the SanDisk Extreme II 480GB, replacing my OWC Extreme Pro 240GB. The OWC never experienced the "slow to wake" issue whereas the SanDisk drive does, consistently. To make sure I'm having the same symptoms, this is what happens to me: Put the mac to sleep (either manually or letting it do it on its own, waiting for the led to pulse showing that it is asleep), then wake it up (press a key on the keyboard), the logon screen shows almost immediately but as soon as I try to type the pinwheel/beach ball shows up, I wait between 20 and 30 seconds and then I'm able to type and all is well.
I contataced SanDisk and their support was horrible. They simply told me "contact MAC for this issue" (no joke, not "contact Apple" but "contact MAC", in all caps). I explained that it works fine with the OWC drive just not the SanDisk. They replied with another article showing that all macs have trouble waking from sleep (not true). I replied again indicating that I've never had this issue with any of my 3rd party drives, only this SanDisk. Then the replied simply stating that all mac's have issues with 3rd party hard drives when waking from sleep. At this point I threw a fit and yelled at my screen, even though it wasn't my screens fault.
In any case, their support has not been willing to do any actual troubleshooting. I'd love to return it and I might have to - but as you stated, it's annoying to have this issue but the performance is fine the rest of the time.
Thanks for any input you have.

Very slow (glacial) performance after 10.4.10 update

Updated Mac mini 1.66GHz last night via Software Update. Initially got extremely slow reboot and finder performance. Tried many things ie safe boot, repair permissions, reset pram, and even reinstall via Combo Update but all to no avail. It has been taking over 5 minutes to just boot up to Finder. Finder operations are really slow, but application response is nearly as fast as pre-update.
So, I do a backup (just in case) and plan to go back to 10.4.9. I normally backup weekly to an extra internal drive in my G5 Dual 2.0 via wireless and usually takes about 30 to 45 min. However, this backup takes over 18 hours!
I have perused these forums and others, but have not noticed this slow issue occurring. Any hints on how to speed back up?

Hello janala:
You might try trashing the preference file (com.apple.finder.plist) and restarting. Also, I would certainly run repair disk from your software install DVD.

Mail very slow to send after install of 10.10.3

Composed mail now sits in the outbox grinding away long before it finally sends. This issue has been duplicated both on my MB air and iMac desktop,
Has anyone found a solution?

I had the same problem, plus new emails were coming into my inbox hours late.
I found the solution in different forum.
I did this and everything is working perfectly now.
1. Quit Mail
2. Move ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail to desktop
3. Log out
4. Log in
5. Test Mail.app

I am having a problem with very slow start up after expanding RAM on my 2009 Mac Pro.

I am having a problem with very slow start up after expanding RAM on my 2009 Mac Pro (8 Core 2.93GHz). When I run the Mac Pro with 2 x 2Gb RAM it takes 4 seconds before the gray screen, chime and spinning wheel appear.However when I expand the RAM to 20GB the grey screen and chimes appear after a long 20+ second black screen.
The RAM modules are paored 2 x 4GB Crucial CT51272BA1339.M18FMR and 6 x 2GB SAMSUNG M391B5673FH0-CH9, all DDR3 ECC.
Reading articles on the internet, I thought it may be damaged RAM modules, but I have completed memtest and all are okay. I have tried changing the pairs around and if I use any paired 2 modules the Mac Pro starts normally, only when I try running more than 2 modules the delayed start up happens. (black screen 20 Seconds)
I also have tried PRAM and SMU resets after changing the RAM setups, and the issues always occurs when I have more than 2 modules. As you can see I have 6 SAMSUNG modules and even with identical modules the issue happens, when increasing the RAM to more than 2 modules.
The Mac Pro runs fine after the start up screen and can see all the modules, but has anyone else come across this issue, or have any ideas as to why my Mac Pro is taking 20 seconds to start up with 20 GB RAM?

Hi there. Thanks for your comments.
I have tried all the different combinations of RAM setup, and as stated in my initial topic, the Mac Pro boot up time only slows when I have more that 2 modules. Where I place these does not seem to make a difference.
I have taken the Mac Pro to an Apple Reseller technician yesterday and they where not able to find any RAM errors. Apparently the boot up time is within Apple's acceptable parameters for this set up.
Could anyone that is running a Mac Pro 2009 with more that 4 modules of RAM, please let me know if the boot up time is normal. ( the time it takes from pressing the power button to seeing the gray screen around 16 - 20 seconds)
Or is anyone else having the same issues?
thanks for your responce

New Bitmap missing from context menu after installing photoshop

After installing photoshop CS6 from CD onto Windows 7x64; my context menu > New > bitmap is no longer available. registry settings are intact and I've used Bridge ro reassociate .bmp with mspaint but the option still does not appear. The installation of photoshop is the only change to the computer in several months.
I can workaround by creating new txt files and changing the extension but this adds a step to a (non photoshop related) workflow that's been in place and worked well for years.

I don't know why Photoshop would kill the system default entry for new bitmap - possibly because it has associated itself with that file type.
First thing to look at - start Adobe Bridge CS6, go into the Edit - Preferences - File Type Associations dialog, and see if you can re-associate MSPAINT.EXE with the BMP format. That may correct the issue, but I can't say for certain as I don't want to try it here and change my own setup.
I don't use the New context menu functionality for making new bitmaps myself, but when I looked to see what shows up in my New context menu, I found this:
Choosing the IrfanView BMP File entry led to this:
If you can't recover the old functionality via the Bridge settings, it may be that you can install the freeware viewer IrfanView and have it associate itself with the BMP file type.

Premiere pro cc cloud problems, after installing photoshop I lost all my premiere files!!!!

Hi,
after installing photoshop, I lsot all my premiere pro data, even autosafe and stuff. I do back up but I didn;t for past 4 days and lsot hours of work. Do you have any idea what is the problem? I have single program subscription and use photoshop trial.
Thanks

Yes, an Archive and Install will not erase the disk or your files. If you use the option to preserve user accounts and preferences those will be transferred into the newly created system. However, your existing system is a failed installation so if you do another Archive and Install it cannot transfer your user account because it is not in the existing system. Plus you will need sufficient free space on the hard drive for yet another system - about 6-8 GBs.
Once you backup your personal data and your Home folder, I would suggest you just erase the hard drive, reinstall OS X from scratch, then copy your Home folder backup to the newly installed system. These articles, How to get files from a previous home directory after Archive and Install and Mac OS X- How to recover a home folder (directory), explain the process. Although written for an Archive and Install scenario it is essentially the same procedure you would have to follow.
How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
5. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the startup or source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.

Stuck at Optimizing System Performance after installing Security Patch

24" iMac seems to be stuck at "Optimizing System Performance" after installing the latest Security Update. Software Update won't quit. Nervous to force the computer to shutdown during that process. It's working fine at the moment other than that the Software Update box won't go away.
What do you think?

Well kind of answered my own question. Tried to run Activity Monitor which only started halfway and then crashed. I remembered the whole computer is backed up to an external drive everyday so I figured if it won't start at least I can start up from the external drive.
Forced the shutdown by holding the power button. Started up w/o a hiccup; ran Repair Permissions which checked out and the Verify the Disk with First Aid which also checked out fine.
So I guess it's ok though I may unplug that external for a day or two.

Ipad2 very slow and crashing after OS8 upgrade 8.1.1

Genius bar help said older versions of OS8 never closed apps, so a restore should fix it, but it didn't, even with a repeat.

Bridge is very slow after installing Photoshop CC

I just installed Photoshop CC last night and today Bridge is VERY slow. Every folder I open even if I opened it yesterday has to build some kind of an index.
Also it keeps crashing it never crashed before.

Yes I understand that my point is it only started to do this after I installed Photoshop CC. I have been using bridge CS6 for 3 months and it has never been this slow or crash. IT crashed 5 times today.
Note if you are using the Creeative cloud you may not know this but every 3 months you will have to log in and re accept all the licenses for all the products you open and want to run again, every 3 months. I just learned that today as well.

Photoshop CC very slow to open after Win 8.1 upgrade

Hi guys.
I was wondering can you help me. I have tried extensive google searches with no real conclusive answer. I recently upgraded from Win 8 to 8.1. Since the upgrade Photoshop CC is very slow to open. It can take 1-2 minutes to boot up fully. Lightroom 5.2 & bridge open fine. I have a pretty fast system with i7 3.4Ghz Processor & 32Gb of Ram with the OS running on a 256Gb SSD Hard Drive. PS CC booted up fine on Win 8 but not anymore since the upgrade. The only plug-in I run is OnOne Photosuite 8. I have even tried disabling loading extenions at start up from the preferences menu but it makes no difference as it can stil take 1-2 minutes to open. Any help appreciated??

There was a Photoshop update that corrected a problem Adobe had accidentally introduced with a link that went to a network resource that is not available for anyone outside Adobe. But that was a while ago. See: Re: Photoshop CC startup slow (much harddisk access)
I've had Win 8.1 all along and never had an update cause a slowdown.
Unfortunately problems that go away on their own often return on their own. I hope that's not the case for you and that it continues to work properly.
