When I download Adobe's CS6 applications from the applications manager it takes way too long.  On my macbook I can download the same applications in about an hour or so.  With my new mac with tons of RAM it takes about 6 hours.  Can anyone help?

Basically I'm having trouble downloading Adobe's CS6 applications.  On my macbook it does it a lot faster than my more powerful imac.  I know someone who also has a mac who said something like fragmenting my memory.  Does anyone know how to do that.  I'm totally clueless.  Thanks.

Curt-
Thanks for the reply!

The performance of the laptop has been great. It is a sony vaio that I bought 2 months ago and it has been very capable with CS3 photoshop, bridge and ACR. I load in thousands of raw files, cull them down to 600-800, apply quick develop settings with camera raw, and then batch all 800 through a fairly intense photoshop action. All of this runs great except when I want to rename or delete in Bridge. A little earlier I finally shut down bridge after letting it rename images for 3 hours and it had only renamed 7 files out of 700. (And I'm just trying to rename to Name_0001)
If you think I should run a performance check, I will. I'm just not familiar enough with Vista yet to know how.

  • Using the Leopard disc provided with a new Mac with other Macs

    Hello,
    A couple of weeks ago I bought a Macbook Pro that included the Leopard disc, which hadn't been installed on the machine. I went away last weekend and when I returned, my house had been burglarized and my brand new Macbook Pro was gone. I would like to get another Macbook Pro to replace it, but I can't afford to pay full retail once again so I am looking into getting a used one. Anyway, I'm wondering if I were to buy one that didn't included Leopard, would I be able to install it from the disc that came with my old Mac?
    Thanks,
    Grant

    No lawyers are necessary, no debate necessary either. Just read the license agreement.
    FWIW - the license restricts you to using the software only on an Apple-branded computer, and only one computer per licensed copy of the software. The license does not require you to use the OS on the same computer that you purchased (I'd encourage you to read the license when you attempt to install to verify my statements -- the license is presented and you have to agree to it before the installation goes forward).
    I only have the Tiger license in front of me right now, but it has all sorts of interesting tidbits in it. Technically speaking, using iChat in a commercial setting is prohibited, as is MPEG2 encoding, modifying files in a .app folder, encoding MPEG4 and H.264 is restricted to personal and noncommercial uses, using the AMR codec with a mobile device is prohibited, as is divulging flight information you obtain through the Flight Tracked widget to a third party.
    As far as licenses go, it's pretty friendly. Microsoft, for example, has had licenses that prohibit benchmarking or testing their software, or using MS Word to write disparaging comments about their company; MS even had a warning at one time against using their operating systems in critical applications such as life-support, medical and weapons systems. Microsoft still requires its licensees to submit to license compliance audits on demand.

  • How can I open a catalog created on Win7 LR 1.4.1 on new Mac with latest LR 3.6 download? Too new!!!

    Any ideas please...I have transferred the media files and catalogs via my network, definitely onto the pictures folder of my MP 2011 Intel Mac. I go to open the catalog and get this peculiar message saying..
    The Lightroom catalog named “Lightroom 3 Catalog” cannot be opened because it is too new to be used by this version of Lightroom. Would you like to select a different catalog?
    The catalog appears to have been created by a version of Lightroom that is newer than the Lightroom version you are using.
    Is the Mac latest 3.6 version of LR really older and unable to read a latest PC 1.4.1 coded catalog?
    Is there anyway of saving the PC generated Catalog in an older catalog format d=so that a mac with 3.6 LR can read it?
    any answers very greatfully received!!

    I know this was a long time ago, but just in case someone else has this problem.  It happened to me and what happened is that I still had LR 3 installed on my computer.  Instead of opening LR4, I opened LR3 and it had some photos missing.  When I went for my backups, of course they were too new, because they were created with LR4 and I was using 3.  Both were side by side and I didn't realize I had opened the wrong one.

  • I often clear history and cache. With 4.0 it takes WAY too long. Why?

    I often clear history and cache. Before 4.0 it took a few seconds, but now it takes over a minute. Why?

    Hi, I am loading music onto my z10 by just dragging dropping into the music folder on my sd card (about 4 gb music) and it is plugged into the usb, and I'm finding it is taking soo long (10 hours estimated already waited an hour) previously i loaded an even bigger file and it was long but never took this long (maybe took 2-3 hours previously). Just wondering why it takes soo long to write to an sd card as opposed to downloading from the internet or downloading over wifi or if there is something wrong with my setup (im running windows 7 with a decent laptop by 2 years ago standard), just hoping someone can comment on what they know or have experienced 
    Thanks Mark 
    i use a SD adapter in my laptop which works faster than using a cable to my Z
    A single large file when copying is faster than many smaller files on almost any SD card.
    I sometimes use wifi sharing and just let it do its thing while doing some thing else

  • Unable to download Adobe Acrobat XI; order confirmation, get error message 413 Header length too large JRun Serviet Error;  how to download program I paid for?

    I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI on line; received email order being processed and order purchased confirmed.  When I tried to download the program I received JRun Serviet Error 413, Header Length too Large.  Is there a way to resolve this?  Is there a customer service number at Adobe?

    Get the download from http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html. You will still need your S/N to complete the install.

  • Taking picture takes way too long - as does downloading

    Camera in iphone now takes an incredible amount of time for the camera to get in ready position. After taking a photo (after waiting...) it takes even more time for it to return to ready mode. When syncing -- it is taking a long time as well. These issues have appeared recently but do not seem to be related to the number of photos on the iphone (have stored as many as 2,000).
    Several photos have been funky -- quadrants showing rather than single image.
    Advice needed. Will take in to genius bar at Apple Store next if no good solutions.
    Thank you.

    Try a reboot (described below).
    Think of it this way, the iPhone is more of a computer than a phone. It suffers from being a new OS and nobody can deny there are not bugs and memory leaks. The longer left running, the more things start to fail or slow down (I have had the iPhone since day one of original phone and I am just speaking from my experience). Thus I equate it to like when Windows95 came out...not sure of your age or if you remember those days...but back then it was a running joke of how many days you can keep Windows 95 running before you had to reboot. I am sorry to say but the iPhone is the same way right now (but getting better with a few hiccups back during the 2.0 release). So for me, I reboot daily when I leave in the morning and take it off the charger. By doing so I rarely see any lag or problems.
    A reset/reboot is:
    Go to Home Screen
    Press and Hold Home Button
    Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
    Keep holding Both
    You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
    The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
    Keep Holding
    When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
    Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.
    You may also wish to read this tread about reboots and odd application behavior.

  • IMovie takes way too long to share with iDVD

    I did a software update (recommended by Mac) a few days ago, don't remember the detail. Since then iMovie/iDVD does not seem to be working properly. I have an iMovie project and wanted to share with iDVD. The "prepare project" process started and indicated that the estimated time will be over 6 hours. Usually it only took minutes. My movie is only 8 minutes long?
    Any help?

    I would suggest that you use SHARE/TO MEDIA BROWSER in Large size.
    Then in iDVD, Open the Media Browser to the Movies tab and drag the movie you just made into your project.

  • Unable to make purchases with my new Mac in iTunes Store.

    I am unable to make purchases with my new Mac in iTunes Store.
    I can buy with  my iPhone or my company lap-top (Windows) without any problems. Only with my brand new MacBook Pro it is impossible.
    When I try to authorize my Mac, sure dialog window appears and I give my ID and password. Then I get error message: "There was an error storing your authorization information on this computer. The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed." The same message I get, when I try to deauthorize.
    If I try to buy anything (pushing button "Buy"), then I get following error message:
    "iTunes couldn`t download your purchase. You don`t have write access for your iTunes Media folder or a folder within it. Change permissions (in the Finder) and then choose Store--Check for available downloads".
    But I have such a permission!!! I can see it!!!
    I have even made so, that "everyone" and "staff" also  have permission "read and write" in folder iTunes and all subfolders.! :))
    When I ask for "available downloads" immediately I get the same answer: " iTunes couldn`t download your purchase. You don`t have write access for your iTunes Media folder or a folder within it. Change permissions (in the Finder) and then choose Store--Check for available downloads"
    I have done:
    1. I have used the Terminal to correct the permissions (in Finder it looked correct anyway).                    -          NO Result.
    2. With Disk Utility I have verified and repaired Disk permissions. (There were approx. 10-12 incorrect values and 3 of them  concerned iTunes and other - Jawa ).           -           NO Result.
    3. I have moved all iTunes files in Thrash and installed iTunes again (previously downloaded from App Store ).                    -          No Result.
    4. I have verified Disk permissions with Disk Utility again. There was nothing wrong, but in spite of this I have pushed the button "Repair Disc Permissions".          -          NO Result.
    5. New installation of iTunes again.           -          No Result.
    Can it be, that the reason of a problem are not correct transferred data from my old MacBook?

    with my new Mac
    You have a warranty.  Take advantage of it!  Call tech support or call the iTunes store.

    iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

    - After all the media is on the new computer connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking one the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.
