Why does the CS6 Master Collection Suite take up so much RAM on a computer??

so, if, i brought the CS6 Master Collection Suite i would need more RAM on my computer right?
because, my apple computer only has 4GB of memory and that program needs 4GB of RAM.
I would need to add more memory to my apple computer say upgrade it to maybe 8GB of RAM??
But, i don't understand why does that suite need so much memory or RAM on a computer??
could i just only download the programs i really need onto my apple laptop and maybe that
would free up some memory or RAM so that the program wouldn't  end up using all of the memory
on my computer could i just do that??

Mzpretty3 you can find the system requirements for CS6 Master Collection at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-system-requirements.html#CS6_Master_ Collection_system_requirements.  For Mac OS we recommend a minimum of 4 GB of RAM and if you are going to do heavy photo or video editing then you will want to have at least 8 GB of RAM available.
Please also be aware that the installation will require at least 15.5 GB of hard drive space.  This is separate from the amount of RAM which you have installed.

  • Mac - Installer failed to initialize. (etc) HELP! I can't install the CS6 Master Collection Suite.

    When I begin the installation for the CS6 Master Collection, I get an effor saying, "We've encountered the following issues" and below it says, "Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem." I have already downloaded it, and it didn't help at all. I've tried repairing disk permissions and rebooting, but nothing yet. I have a Mac, and this is my first time installing ANY adobe products on it besides air and flash (of course).

    It didn't log anything:

  • Why does the music from my CDs take up so much memory?

    I'm new to itunes, and having just recieved an ipod (an 8 GB nano) for Christmas I started uploading my CDs to itunes yesterday.
    I've uploaded 15 albums, containing 205 songs, which is 12.4 hours of playing time. According to the information at the bottom of my itunes, it takes up 7.38 GB of memory. 8 GB of memory is supposed to hold 2000 songs, so I don't understand why 205 songs have nearly filled the memory. Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Kate

    Maybe it has to do with the encoder you used to import your CDs to the computer. If you use a lower encoding (for example, mp3 or aac at 128 kbps) your iPod should be able to contain approximately 2000 songs. If you use a higher encoding (like mp3 or aac at 192 kbps or higher bit rates) , your songs will take much more space but the sound quality will be higher. To check what encoding you're using you can select a file, right-click, and click on "get info". More instructions on how to choose a new bit rate can be found at these links: http://www.ehow.com/how2019280set-import-itunes.html or http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-choose-an-itunes-encoder.navId-3232 15.html. After doing that, you'll have to import your cd's again using the new encoder.

  • How do I get the CS6 Master Collection discs mailed?

    I am waiting for the CS6 Master Collection - I purchased the CS5.5 upgrade within the window for the free CS6 upgrade, however I need to have the discs shipped. My download speed would take days. How do I proceed with this once the software becomes fully available? Thanks.

    Thanks both Steve and Bob -
        I was kind of being patient, knowing that the freebie upgrades would probably be a bit low in the Adobe pecking order. I'll be patient a while longer. Since I just installed the CS5.5 Master Collection, then spent a couple of days updating settings, plugins, etc., I'm not looking forward to doing it all again with CS6 - except for some of the new features I'm dying to try out.

    Hi,

    I have software license, and serial number
    Where can i find the download link for the Middle East Version (CS6 Master Collection)?
    Thanks,

    ToMeR did you purchase the middle eastern version from Adobe directly?  If so then please see Find a download link on Adobe.com for information on how to download your purchased software.  If you purchased the software from a reseller then I would recommend contacting them for installation files.

  • Why is the "other" on my iphone take up so much space?

    Why is the "other" on my iphone take up so much space?

    "Other" contains objects that are not categorized elsewhere.  It includes, for example, iOS, mail messages, and working space.
    If "Other" is more than about 1.5 gigabytes, that would be considered a lot of space.  That is often caused by corrupt app(s).
    You can shrink "Other" by restoring your iPhone using iTunes.  Plug your iPhone in, let it sync, then choose "Restore" from your iPhone's summary page in iTunes.  You can try restoring from the backup, but that may not work.  If not, restore as new and selectively sync apps back.

  • How do I install the cs6 master collection on an iMac?

    I have an adobe cs6 master collection disc. I tried installing it on my iMac and all I see is a bunch of weird folders with names like styles, templates, textures, legal, library, main. I don't see where the actual Adobe programs to install are. I followed the instructions to get the serial number, but I don't even see where I am supposed to enter the serial number. Can anybody help me?

  • Problems with the CS6 Master Collection disk image (invalid checksum)

    I have problems downloading the trial for CS6 Master Collection for MacOS X.
    I've tried downloading using the Download Assistant, both as a privileged and an unprivileged user, and have also tried the direct download as both privileged and unprivileged. Each time I've waited until the download was complete before trying to install, but every time the disk image fails to open, complaining of an "invalid checksum".
    I've tried mounting the disk image without validating the checksum, but while I can then run the installer, the installation fails due to lack of privileges – again, this is regardsless of user privileges. I've also tried deleting the preferences and cache-files for Download Assistant, but to no avail.
    Can anyone confirm that the english version of the CS6 Master Collecion disk image is working and can be mounted without error on MacOS X 10.7? I have now downloaded and re-downloaded the disk image at least eight times, and while I have a fast Internet-connection, this is getting tedious.

    I just downloaded the DMG from Adobe.com using the trial and it mounts fine. I was able to start the installation.
    I did not get a checksum error or any other error.
    However, I found these instructions in another thread:http://forums.adobe.com/message/4370247#4370247
    <quote>
    If the download is completed in the Adobe Download Assistant you can temporarily turn off the feature to verify the checksum.  The following steps will allow you to temporarily disable this feature:
    Open the Disk Utility located in Applications/Utilities
    Go under the Disk Utility menu and select preferences
    Deselect the option to verify checksums
    Try mounting your DMG file
    I would recommend turning this feature back on though after the installation is complete.  Also if you notice this happening on additional files it can indicate a problem with your Internet connection.

    Could you try these steps and let us know if you were able to proceed.

    I have CS6 Master Collection on my old computer, and wish to download it onto my new one (Windows 8).

  • Why does the map app say it takes 8 hours to travel 25 miles?

    The map app says it takes 8 hours and 17 minutes to drive from Naperville, IL, to Midway Airport.  An alternate route only takes 49 minutes.

    If I selected walking, why would a longer alternate route only take 59 minutes.
    I just got directions for the same route and got reasonable results.  Whatever the problem was it appears to have been corrected.
    Thank you all for your comments.

  • Why does the song i downloaded keep asking me to authorize it for my computer, and when i do it plays a differant song

    I downloaded Fast AS You from I-Tunes. When I click on it to play it a pop up box says I have to authorize the song for my computer and asks for my password. When I enter my pass word it plays 6th Avenue Heartache. Over and over, even after a reboot it does the same thing. Any ideas?
    Thanks, Don

    Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.

  • My Acrobat has stopped working.  I have the CS6 Master Collection.  I have had this happen before and I had to reinstall by whole suite.  Is this stil the best way to deal with this?

    Sorry, meant CS6.

    Hey Gary Kirby,
    Please make sure that you are logged in to your system as an administrator.
    Let me know the exact error that prompts on your screen while launching Acrobat.
    You might also refer this KB doc link and try out solutions as mentioned:

  • Why does the Finder in Mountain Lion take over 50% of my RAM?

    On a supported MacBook Air, Mountain Lion takes up over 50% of the available RAM accounding to every app and even the activity monitor. I only have enough RAM to open one app at a time. Open another and I've run out of memory and the entire Mac freezes up.
    !0.6 and 10.7 didn't have this problem, only Mountain Lion does. Anyone else see this problem or have a solution?
    Thanks

    Kappy,
    No, that made things worse. Now the MacBook Air is frozen completely in Safe Mode. I had to hold down the power button until I shut down hard. Bringing it back up in normal mode, now there's under 200M of RAM left, a fraction of what was available. I can't even open Safari, it keeps running out of memory.
    Never had this problem with Snow Leopard and Lion. I opened the App Store where both versions of the operating system are and tried to load each. Neither one would load to let me downgrade. I paid for them, how come I can't use them?!
    Apple's gone to **** since Steve Jobs passed away. I've been a Loyal Apple user for 8 years now and ever since Jobs' passed away, nothing is working right with the latest upgrades. I'm ready to install Ubuntu on every Mac in the house.
