Why operates Indesign extremly slow under Win7/64 bit?

It seems that Indesign is operating from the harddirve only although I am running a fast (new) computer with 6 GB RAM. When I type a word each character takes seconds to be displayed and the harddrive is working like mad - according to the noice.

Numbers 09 (Rel. 2.1(436)) extremely slow under Lion

I just gave Numbers a try with a relatively low complex mortgage calculation - 13 columns, 200 rows - simple formulas (if ... then ... else, difference in dates, simple multiplications).
Numbers is extremely slow - whenever something is changed in the tables, Activity Monitor shows 100% CPU usage and the SBOD appears - it's nearly not possible to work. Restart of my MacBook Pro or Numbers allone has not made anything better. Has anybody made the same observations, i submitted feedback to Apple, but i have the feeling, that nobody is reading it (3 years ago i submitted the wish for goal seek for Numbers or some sort of Automator support)
The dilemma is:
Many of my coworkers now have iPad and iPhone and could use Numbers (i know there are some Excel Simulations for iPad and iPhone around, but these are not so nice to use) - therefore i want to provide the previos Excel Sheets as Numbers documents - but with this performance it's impossible to use Numbers.

"200 rows of formulas in a Numbers document might be considered to be large ..." - that's complete nonsense - in the beginning of my "Apple History" i had a Mac IIsi, on this machine there was a spreadsheet software running, it's name was Ragtime - i did exact the same calculations which i now want to redo with Numbers - the IIsi with 8 MB of RAM was crunching trough these calculations a lot faster than my Macbook Pro - and there were not only 200 rows to calculate - (to be exact it were 300 + (4 x 25) rows - calculation 300 months + 4 quarters per year).
Apple builds very nice hardware (most of the time), Apple designs very nice software (also most of the time) - but sometimes Apple Software is truly unusable if one decides just to get one step ahead the absolute-zero-level-hobby-user.
Of course i know the phrase "horses for courses" and everybody will scratch his head "why does this guy absolutely want to use Numbers for this task and not the old Excel?" - i can tell you that: Because Excel has very bad layout options - in Numbers i can produce very nice layouts, free movable tables, integrated pages which sum up more sub-tables ... - yes, thats also possible with Word an Excel but not in this intuitive way Apple has come up.
BUT - since Numbers is (and keeps) so dramatically slow it's barely unusable - it makes me sad, that i will never see Numbers being used in a business environment.
PS: please excuse my rough English, i'm from Austria.

DIY FusionDrive extremely slow under Mavericks

Hi,
I have a self made FusionDrive on my MacBook Pro Late 2011 (Samsung SSD 840 PRO 256 GB + 750 GB Apple HD)
Since upgrading to Mavericks, it is EXTREMELY slow ! Black Magick shows 20-40 MB/s write speed !!!! I used to have 5 times more ! Read speed is also worse than before.
Anyone could help with this ?
Thanks

Did you ever figure this out? I am experiencing a similar issue, detailed here:

64-bit Nightly v29 and Firefox v26 under Win7 64-bit are so slow for streaming, achieving only 4% of BW otherwise achieved by the sam firefox under Win7 32-bit.

Under my Window 7 64-bit OS, I've installed both Nightly Build v28 and v29 to perform "internet speed test" and each time, I can only achieve something < 2 mbps for my home Wi-Fi, gateway router which is about >56 Mbps. The only working Nightly version was v23 that could achieve close to >52 mbps. But once I update v23 to higher version, all the normal high speeds I could achieve at Nightly v23 are gone. The same issue plagued also firefox v26 under Win 7 64-bit.
For clarification, this is not true under Win 7 32-bit OS - the same firefox v26 works fine to achieve the raw BW speed close to and >56 mbps. WHy not in 64-bit OS seems to be the main question?
What's going on? I greatly appreciate you looking into and helping me out on this dilemma. Thanks!
Sincerely
Shao Ma

hello Shao Ma, when you are using speedtest.net or a similar flash-based site to measure your connection speed then it might be an issue with the protected mode that [http://blogs.adobe.com/asset/2012/06/inside-flash-player-protected-mode-for-firefox.html adobe has introduced] for its flash plugin for firefox. some old versions of f-secure or trusteer rapport are known to cause such slowdowns together with flash, or it might be something similar on your system that is interfering (maybe security software that is blocking/sandboxing the container used for the protected mode, etc...).
as a workaround you could try [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071#TemporaryWorkaround disabling protected mode] & see if this makes a difference.
in case you'd like to troubleshoot the issue further, it would be best to contact adobe's support & file a bug report at bugbase.adobe.com (choose "Adobe Flash Player" as the product & "Browser Integration" as the product area), since they will have a better understanding of the internals of flash protected mode & therefore may know what else might be at the root of the problem you were seeing.

Indesign extremly slow (Mac Pro)

Hi all,
my InDesign is very slow since i have updated from CS 4 to CS 5.5.
It seems to be pretty slow when i place some PDF into the .indd.
Also in low-quality settings it was incredibly slow and the cpu-usage
was far over 100%. How can this be?
I have tested the System in 32 and 64bit-mode.
System specs:
Adobe CS 5.5 (latest updates)
Mac Pro 3,1
Dual-Quadcore 3 Ghz
10 GB Ram
NVIDIA Geforce 8800 GT
OS X 10.6.8 (latest upates)
I hope there is a solution.
InDesign is also pretty slow on my PC.
i5-3570K
DD3-2133MHz
Ati HD-7950
edit:
I have changed one settings now in InDesign.
While moving an object i cant see the content now
in real-time. This is a performance gain.
But i still wonder how bad the InDesign-engine is.
While my computer is able to render a complex
3D-scene in an amazing fps-count, InDesign
has huge cpu-load with some flat 2d stuff.

The speed of the application can be related to many things, including:
RAM
Live pre-flight running
Live spell check running
Display set to High
Other applications running
OS
You mention waiting for an update for Mavericks - there are already a few threads in this forum about issues with Mavericks - check them out.

Stage/Timeline extremely slow under Mountain Lion

Hello everyone,
I'm having this issue with Flash CS6 on OSX Mountain Lion. Almost every action in the program causes it to slow down considerably. Things such as selecting/moving anything something on the stage, selecting something in the liberary panel, clicking buttons on any editor panel, and scrubbing the timeline. Even using the Mac's menu bar in Flash is slow. The slowest thing is playback from the timeline editor, it becomes so slow that it often crashes the application:
Even though all of this is happening, every other application is running perfectly fine. Flash isn't taking more RAM or CPU that it usually does (except when it's about to crash), and I've only had this problem after upgrading to Mountian Lion, in Lion everything was fine. SWF file publish and playback have no problems whatsoever. The exact same problems are even effecting Flash CS5.5. I am an Adobe Creative Cloud member and all the other apps that I've tried work perfectly. I've also tried Flash CS6 in Windows on the same machine and that works as it should. This problem also consists on not only my existing .fla projects, but also brand new ones with absolutly nothing in the liberary or stage.
I have an Early 2011 13-inch Macbook Pro with a 2.5 GHz i5 and 8 GB RAM upgrade. I also have the 32-bit version of Flash CS6 and CS5.5, and of course OS 10.8
I have a Bootcamp of Windows, so I can keep working, but rebooting is a big hit on my workflow, so I plan to use my backup of Lion. But before that, I want to try and solve this problem.
Thanks to those who read this! I hope I can solve this problem.

Yep - I know the MacFuse is dead, but aparently it is the only way to run the free NTFS-3G plugin. All other options are commercial. I am trying now Paragon NTFS For Mac - if it works, I will have to buy it. And it's the same 20$ as I pay for the whole OS! So basically I will just consider going back to Snow Leopard - I know that I will have much less compatibility problems there in general... I will be able to also run Extensions Manager 1.8 (CS3) there, cause it also doesn't work on Mountain Lion (it is a known issue). It's just too much isn't working for me on 10.8 and Adobe

CS4 very slow under Win7 Ultimate 64 ...?!

Hi,
i bought a new PC with Intel i7-950, 12 GB Corsair DDR3 RAM and ASUS Radeon 4890 Graphiccard, OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64 for a faster Work (so the Idea), but now i draw my first Picture with my Wacom Intuos 2 on CS4 64 Bit and its horrible slow when i try to draw with Brushes.
Example: I would like to draw a Treetop with a 75 Pixel Brush and spot the Color at frequent intervals, but i must stop my workflow after a few spots an must wait till CS4 do his work ... every spot ~1 second. That's so annoying.
Performance Settings are at 70% RAM, Scratch Disks is Disk E: (180 GB free)
Any Idea what can be the Problem? Please Help!

I'm not sure exactly what is going wrong in your case, but here are some things that we've seen slowing down Photoshop before:
anti-virus software (try disabling it)
third party plugins (try disabling them)
video card drivers that need to be updated (try disabling OpenGL drawing and see if speed improves)
bad disk drives
bad RAM
other applications competing for resources (esp. games trying to hog the video card)
big documents, and having the scratch and OS swap files on the same physical disk (just causes disk head thrashing and fragmentation)
You might also want to update the Wacom driver - they've had a lot of patches recently.

Run the Apple hardware test from your Snow Leopard disk that came with the system. Insert the one that says 'AHT Version x.x' in small print on the label. Boot holding the D key down (or hold the alt/option key and choose the AHT when prompted). When prompted, choose the extended test. Does this identify any hardware issues?
Bring up Disk Utliity, choose the internal hard drive, and on the first aid tab do a verify disk. Does this identify any issues? If so, go into Lion recovery mode (boot with command + R) and use Disk Utility to repair the hard drive.
Assume you have plenty of disk space available for application and system usage? Minimum of 5GB, and more is better.

Flash Builder 4 Extremely slow under Windows 7 + Java

Hello,
I have the following configuration:
Sony VAIO SZ
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.1 GHz (T8100)
4GB DDR3
NVidia 8400M GS
320GB (7200 RPM) HDD
Windows7 Ultimate (6.1.7600)
I'm trying to use Adobe Flash Builder 4 (build 272416) in Trial mode.
I was working for a long time already with the Flex Builder Plug-in 3. Compilation time was always a headache, true, but it still was affordable. But with the Flash Builder 4 production that became so bad that I can't simply use it event to test.
When started form the "clean" workspace, bundled Eclipse and only one project (Flex) is created - everything looks fine. Even if you add a "hello world" pop-up to your application (that's sarcasm, yeah =)
The situation changes dramatically when you have any number (greater than zero of course) of Java projects in your workspace.
Compilation time skyrockets to about 1 - 2 minutes - first (on an empty project created with wizard). Second - it starts crashing with or without reason.
When I'm trying to create a new Flex project (having several Java projects in the workspace) - the moment the wizard is complete and it's going to show me the contents of the newly created MXML (yes, a few lines with no logic at all) it crashes. When I'm trying to open existing project - well, it opens, but compilation times are greater than 2 minutes (that's a tiny project with a few screens with primitive design, three AS classes and two CSS files and one image included) whenever I just put an empty string to even the main MXML.
When I'm trying to switch to design view - it crashes 80% of time. The rest 20% it show "gray field" and bugs UI completely.
When building starts - the only way to avoid it ... well ... go drink a tea. It's impossible to cancel and if I try to cancel it - it hangs forever. Only killing the eclipse process helps.
And, really, 2 minutes of compilation time? Are you serious? It's like, change the line of code, save, wait 2 minutes with 50% chance of observing never-ending activity?
Btw, I've tested the Flash Builder Beta - there were no such problems. Everything was really cool and smooth. Compilation time was even faster than Flex Builder 3. And such a surprise with the production version.
It's all with the JDK 6u14 (yes, I've tested it with the most recent one - 6u18 - the same picture).
So, is there anyone experiencing the same behavior and any hints on how to fix it? It's really annoying especially knowing and waiting to get hands on all those great SDK 4 features.
Thanks!

I think the longer compile times when embedding fonts are sort of to be expected. You're embedding an awful lot of glyphs into your SWF (versus using device fonts or setting an explicit unicode range).
For example, I tried with the following simple example in Flex 4.0:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
        xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
        xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
        applicationComplete="lbl.text = (loaderInfo.bytesTotal / 1024).toFixed(2) + ' KB';">
    <fx:Style>
        @namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
        @namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx";
        @font-face {
            fontFamily: Calibri;
            fontWeight: normal;
            fontStyle: normal;
            src: url("c:/windows/fonts/calibri.ttf");
        @font-face {
            fontFamily: Calibri;
            fontWeight: bold;
            fontStyle: normal;
            src: url("c:/windows/fonts/calibrib.ttf");
        @font-face {
            fontFamily: Calibri;
            fontWeight: normal;
            fontStyle: italic;
            src: url("c:/windows/fonts/calibrii.ttf");
        @font-face {
            fontFamily: Calibri;
            fontWeight: bold;
            fontStyle: italic;
            src: url("c:/windows/fonts/calibriz.ttf");
        global {
             fontFamily: Calibri;
             fontSize: 24;
    </fx:Style>
    <s:controlBarContent>
        <s:Label id="lbl" color="red" fontWeight="bold" />
    </s:controlBarContent>
    <s:VGroup horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0">
        <s:Label text="Calibri regular" />
        <s:Label text="Calibri bold" fontWeight="bold" />
        <s:Label text="Calibri italic" fontStyle="italic" />
        <s:Label text="Calibri bold+italic" fontWeight="bold" fontStyle="italic" />
    </s:VGroup>
</s:Application>
Now, the .SWF file in my /bin-debug/ folder was pretty large (~1440 KB -- or about 1.4 MB). When I exported a release version of the .SWF using Builder that number dropped down to ~970 KB (or 0.9 MB). Still rather large.
Typically when embedding fonts you'll want to specify a unicode range so you only embed the characters you care about (English uppercase/lowercase, punctuation, numbers, etc). Or you could embed Thai ranges or whatever else you want.
So if I specify the following unicode range for each of the four embed statements, the SWF sizes drop considerably:
unicode-range
: U+0020-002F,U+0030-0039,U+003A-0040,U+0041-005A,U+005B-0060,U+0061-007A,U+007B-007E;
/bin-debug/: ~970 KB (67%)
/bin-release/: ~520 KB (53%)
You can find some examples of unicode ranges in the /frameworks/flash-unicode-table.xml file in the Flex SDK. Also, you can specify custom named unicode ranges in your /frameworks/flex-config.xml file:




And this way you could just specify a unicode-range of "englishRange" instead of having to do U+0020-002F, etc.
Hope that helps,
Peter

Audition 3.0 installer under Win7 64-bit fails with "problem while extracting files"

I'm having trouble installing Audition 3.0 on Windows 7 64-bit.
I downloaded an installer for Audition 3.0 (called ADBEAudition_WWEFGJIS.exe, 352 MB).
This installer runs but when the progress bar is at the far end, it raises a dialog saying "A problem occurred while extracting some files. Check available space on your computer and the write privileges on the destination folder."
At this time, the main installer dialog shows 100% completed and displays the filename "...\Audition 3.0\Adobe Bridge CS3\redist\WindowsXP-KB898715-x64-enu.exe". I don't know whether this filename is related to the problem, it might just be the last file extracted.
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit on an Asus laptop with 4GB of RAM and an AMD Turion II P520 processor. I don't know whether this CPU is "SSE2-enabled" or not, as specified in the minimum system requirements.
I've rebooted the machine and the problem occurs consistently.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hey, I used to have a Diamond PCI card somewhere.
I would say that all bets are off with the drivers, but there is a strong possibility that you could be hearing the problems with the sample rate converter in Windows 7 (and I think in Vista). This affects recording and playback, and the first line of defence is to make sure that the source audio's sample rate is the same as the "default sample rate" that is set in every area in the Windows Control panel audio area.
The sample rate converter built into XP has a range of settings that are usually set to "high quality", and sample rate conversion is rare anyway with that OS. With Windows 7, the concept of the newer Windows mixer irequires that the sample rate converter changes all the audio on the fly to the default ample rate, but the converter is not very good. This doesn't always affect the audio - anything using DirectX seems OK, but anything using "WaveOut" audio (eg YouTube playback) is affected.
Microsoft acknowledges the problem and have issued a patch at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2653312

Why is Indesign CS5.5 Sooooo Slow When it Goes to Deeeper of the Document

Hi all,
I've got a question recently in using Indesign CS5.5 on a MacbookPro with i7 processor, 8GB RAM and MacOS LION 10.7.2. The interaction turns to be extremely slow when I go deeper of the document. The response is quick at the beginning of the document, but when I turn to 15 pages or later, it takes several seconds to change font and adjust the text frame. I have almost tried all the solutions including readjust the virtual memory or shut down other applications while editing my Indesign file, but it just keeps performing this way.
Is there anyone who has the same problem with me? I hope I can get some useful suggestions from you guys. Thanks!
