WinXP and Vista memory usage with Illustrator CS2 - is Vista winning?

Dear forum.
I have an AI-template file where I insert some very large PNG files into it, modifies the template a bit and then I print the the resulting document in PS-format. The PNG files may be as large as 100 MB (24-bits, approx. 100 mil. pixels in total). It appears that while a Vista-based machine has no problem loading one or even two copies of these huge files into memory, a WinXP-based machine can't even load a single file into memory. Instead, I a dialog box with the message: "Could not read the file because the plug-in could not understand this file". Is it really a faulty plug-in or is it just CS2's way of saying "not enough memory" in a quirky way?
All in all, I would like to hear whether someone has the same experience with Vista, ie. it seems to be better at memory management or better at allocating memory for Illustrator CS2, enabling it to load large PNG files.
The specifications of the WinXP-based machine:
Pentium 4 2.6 GHz
3 GB RAM
Virtual memory 4095 MB in a physically separate drive from the OS disk
All Visual Effects are turned off
Has Illustrator CS2, Adobe Acrobat 7 and Distiller installed (and a few auxilliary programs)
The specifications of the Vista-based machine:
Dell OptiPlex 740SF
AMD x2 5000 (2.6 GHHz)
2 GB RAM (667 MHz, 2 x 1 GB)
250 GB SATA disk
Windows Vista
Adobe Creative Suite 2 Standard + Adobe Creative Suite 3
Thanks!

Hi, everyone
I got a new t440p 20ANA00UHH (8GB RAM, win8 64bits) about one week ago. It works really well, but its memory usage confused me. In Task Manager, the "Performance" option shows memory is 68% (5.4G in use), but "Users" option shows memory usage 66% (1019.5M in use). Is that normal ? I just opened some websites and word files.

Memory Problems with Photoshop CS2 - RAM not being utlized

I am having memory issues with Photoshop CS2. I have a G5 dual 2.5 with 8 GB of RAM. PS CS2 keeps hanging on me when I'm doing fairly routine tasks with a fairly complex low-res .psd file. It includes several nested layers...etc.
I noticed while running activity monitor that Photoshop is utilizing a very small percentage of my system's RAM. Approximately 475 MB of the total 8 GB RAM and 1.07 GB of harddrive space for the scratch disk. This seems odd as there is over 6 GB of free RAM while this is happening.
I've uploaded a screen capture of my activity monitor while Photoshop is hanging. Note that the CPU percentage is above 98%. That's an awful lot of RAM going unused.
http://www.tramad.com/Memory.png
Any idea what's going on here? Could it be a corrupt file or font?

Doesn't completely make sense as I've been using this particular machine for almost two years without any problems working in much more complex and much larger high-res .psd files. I doubt that's what the issue is here. I'm starting to think the file became corrupted...
Hard to believe that Adobe/Apple haven't issued a fix for the RAM issue yet.
I also run routine CRON maintenance using Cocktail and have no other issues with any software....

About the limitation of memory usage of Illustrator.

Please tell us about the behavior of the illustrator CS5/CS6 when memory usage of illustrator is too many.
The memory usage of Illustrator is increased, I think the application operates as follow.
- Warning display (e.g.:Illustrator can not preview)
- Illustrator stalls
1.Such as case, Is there memory usage limit?
2.In the case of memory usage of Illustrator exceed maximum size, how Illustrator works?
Is there a specification?
3.Is there the function of the memory auto-release in Illustrator?When the function work?

Thanks. Finally found where it is and turned off all alerts. Verizon doesn't make it easy to find where it is located. Appreciate the help.

Problems with Illustrator CS2

Argh! Suspected problem with Illustrator CS2...
When I look in the Stroke/Fill boxes for colours, I have no options available to me. All that appears is this: http://www.ioimi.com/images/strokefill.jpg.
Is this normal? All I want to do is selected different colours for the line stroke and fill colour of something I have already drawn using the pen tool.
Also, how do I move or remove rulers once placed and why is it that if I use the arrow keys on the end of a line it moves it more than one pixel? How do I keep a line straight? It's so much easier in photoshop but I need to learn.
Please help...
Thank you!

That is not the Color palette, it is the Swatches palette. It's where pre-mixed colours, gradients, and patterns can be stored and quickly applied. The file you are using has no swatches.
You can add your own by loading swatches from any other Illustrator file or from the libraries that ship with Illustrator. You can also add a swatch by mixing a colour in the Color palette and either dragging the colour onto the Swatches palette or clicking one the New Swatch icon (The page icon next to the trash can).

Norton reports high memory usage with firefox and it crashes often

Norton antivirus 2011 has pop up warnings reporting high memory usage from Firefox. I have been getting theem often and my computer is crashing often after those pop up warnings. Thanks

Safe mode did not help.
I have disabled ALL extensions and plug-ins, but the problem with "zig-zag" memory usage still remains (I've not tried to leave browser open for the night yet).
I think I'll do clean reinstall with completely new empty profile (without sync'ed information) to try this out. If this works, I'll start adding stuff (configuration, sync, features, etc) to see what causes the problem.

Is Indesign CS4 compatible with Illustrator CS2 and Photoshop CS2?

We are a small business and have been working in the CS2 suite forever. We had someone do some work for us in Indesign CS4 and are looking to upgrade to that version so we can work with these files as changes happen. If we upgrade to Indesign CS4 will it still be compatible with the rest of my CS2 programs (Illustrator and Photoshop). Placing files and such. Thanks in advance, I know I am way behind here but it is what is cost effective for now.

Adobe only sells InDesign CC (by subscription) or InDesign CS6. You might find boxed legal copies of CS5 or 5.5 from a vendor like Amazon.
You should be very wary of buying older Adobe software on the Internet or eBay. Many copies don't have a legal license and may cause you problems in the future. Caveat emptor.

Any experience with Illustrator CS2 and MBP?

Hi Everyone!
I read a lot about the performance of Photoshop CS2 with Rosetta, but I would like to know how the Illustrator CS2 works with the new MacBook Pro.
Thanks for your comments!
Gus

I work in prepress at a commercial printer. I have been testing out my MBP 1.8GHz with all CS1 and CS2 apps as well as Quark Xpress 6.5. I also only have 1GB of ram at the moment (second 1GB will arrive today). Anyway all the apps run slower than on my G5 Dual 1.8GHz. That may be due to the slower hard drive speed and lower amount of ram. Most apps take a little longer to launch, but once up and running perform just fine. Acrobat 6 and ID CS2 take the longest to launch. I haven't had any crashes or kernal panics with any of the apps. Quark also works well. Still a bit slow, but very fuctional once up and running. Also Citrix for Mac works as does ApogeeX client 1.27. Overall I have had a better experience with this machine than DC 2.0 GHZ G5. I had kernal panics from the beginning the MBP has had no problems so far. If you need to use a MBP fro serious design or prepress upgrade as much as possible. ie 7200RPM drive and 2GB of ram.

Very high memory usage with Yahoo Mail

After using Yahoo Mail for an hour or so my memory usage increases to a very high level.
Just now, after reading and deleting about 50 e-mails (newsletters etc.) I noticed Firefox 17 running slowly and checked the memory usage in Windows Task Manager (I am using XP) and it was 1.2 Gb. My older laptop only has 2 Gb of RAM. Yahoo Mail was the only thing open at the time.
I never notice this problem with Gmail which I mainly use. However I use Yahoo Mail for quite a few newsletters etc. that are less important and which I only check once a week or so.
I found the following bug report about 3 years old which almost exactly describes my problem.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=506771
But this report involves a much earlier Firefox version, and at the end it seems to say that the problem was fixed. However it well describes my current issue with Firefox 17, especially the continual increase in memory while using the up/down arrow keys to scroll through Yahoo e-mails.
Is this normal to have to shut down and reopen Firefox every hour or so to clean out the memory? For some reason I only notice this when using Yahoo Mail. After using many other sites and having multiple tabs open for several hours I rarely reach that kind of memory usage. About the highest I've seen with other sites after a couple of hours is 600 Kb which is roughly when I start notice slower response times.

Excessive memory usage with FireFox 3.6.8

Is it normal for the total memory footprint of FireFox.exe and Plugin-Container.exe to be 1.14GB (488MB and 651MB respectively)?
When first opening FireFox, it's footprint is approx 30MB, but inexorably creeps upward as I browse (typically YouTube/Hulu/4chan/GMail), consuming nearly 60% of total system memory before performance loss demands a browser restart.
Is there any workaround or update/patch or command-line argument that will cap memory usage? Will rolling back to an earlier version of FF solve the problem, or is it a problem with Flash? Any advice would be appreciated.

This is caused by the Flag Fox add-on, you can either disable or uninstall it.
# Open the add-ons manager - in the menus select Tools, then Add-ons
# In the add-ons manager go to the Extensions panel
# In the list of add-ons click on Flag Fox to select it, then either click on the Disable or Uninstall button
# Re-start Firefox to complete the process
Do you have Personas Plus 1.6 installed? If you do try disabling that one instead, it has been causing problems with add-ons.

Akonadi and mysqld memory usage[Solved]

After the mysql update I've noticed that mysqld for Akonadi is using more memory than before. While before I didn't even notice it for the most of the time, now it's the first biggest constant user of memory.
And I have no idea why.
How do I even troubleshoot this kind of problem?
PS.: the usage is this:
Virtual: 387M
RES: 148M
MEM% 7.4
Which increased my memory usage from arround 900-100 to 1200
Last edited by Primoz (2011-02-11 18:41:35)

Okay what I've learned is that you have to keep .config files clean. I've reinstalled Akonadi, deleted ~/.config/akonadi folder and after some problems because of it, I finally got things working and things kind of dropped a bit.
But mysqld with akonadi is still a mem hog. But I guess this is how it's supposed to be.

Kernel Panics with Illustrator CS2

Hi,
Everytime I use Adobe Illustrator CS2 on my 3 month old MacBook Pro I get Kernel Panics and my computer has a hard time recovering. A couple of times I have had to reboot from the Install Disk to get it past the inital blue startup screen. The first time I had to completely reinstall OSX software. The second time all I had to do was boot from the disk and it was fine afterwards.
Are there any compatibility issues with Intel Macs & Adobe CS2?
Photoshop appears to work fine.
Here's the log:

MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8) Intel Mac

Hi, Anapharya.
No kernel panics on my Macs after 10.4.7 Update.
See my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ. This FAQ includes step-by-step instructions for identifying and resolving some of the most common causes of kernel panics.
My FAQ is a roadmap: start at the beginning and work through to the end, including the "If all else fails..." section if a cause or resolution is not found in an earlier troubleshooting step therein.
Good luck!

Mail.app and AB Memory Usage Growing and Growing

I've noticed this over the past week, but I don't know what could have triggered it. Both Address Book's and Mail's memory usage are growing out of control. Since I can easily not run AB much, it's not a big deal, but Mail.app is my preferred email application and I need to run it all the time.
When I start Mail.app, it's around 65M RSIZE, but if I leave it running for a few hours, it quickly balloons up to 2+GB in RSIZE. I'm sure it'd keep getting bigger if I didn't restart it.
This is with one account (Exchange) on a 6,2 MacBook Pro. I'm not currently using any plugins for Mail.app.
Any idea what might be causing these problems, how I can help diagnose it, and how I might be able to fix them?
Thanks,
Pete

Slow performance and high memory usage

I do website development so I have Firefox, IE, Chrome and Opera, all updated to the most recent versions. However, for as long as I can ever remember, Firefox has always used more system resources.
As an example, I opened up one site in all 4 browsers and here is the memory usage for each one:
Firefox 200,016
Chrome 5,476k
Chrome 33,504k
Chrome 2,008k
Chrome 4,592k
Chrome 6,374k
Chrome 31,320k
Total 83,274k
IE 44,412k
IE 6,104k
Total 50,516k
Opera 70,704k
This Firefox had all add-ons disabled. Yet I still use Firefox as my default browser mainly due to a couple of add-ons that I find very helpful for what I do.
My question is why does Firefox have to be so much of a resource hog? Can't programmers write tighter code that executes faster? It's a great browser but when gaming, I usually use one of the other browsers.
I've included the clipboard from the troubleshooting information so hopefully that will help someone pinpoint a reason for this problem.
All-in-all, good work on the version 8.

Have you tried creating a new profile to see if a vanilla profile (with '''no''' add-ons) is also slow for you? One of the things showing in your troubleshooting report is a network printer. A fresh profile without that network printer and with no residual add-on data may be considerably faster.

App Download and "Other" Memory Usage

For a month or so I've noticed that my iPhone 5s "Other" memory was on the order of 6gb... Deleted texts and emails attempting to reduce that size, to no avail...
Today I noticed that an App (Numbers) that had begun to download from the App Store (about a month ago), had not finished (WiFi was required for the large download, but had been turned off and on several times, but not long enough for the download to complete). It wasn't obvious to be that Numbers hadn't finished downloading...
I deleted Numbers from the iPhone, and installed it from iTunes on my iMac.
Upon the deletion of Numbers, my "Other" memory usage went from 6gb down to 2.25 gb, which was reasonable with some large maps and Good Reader docs I have on the phone...
The Numbers app is about 224Mb in size... So, it appears that the iPhone sets aside a very large part of memory for an app as it downloads, and then clears that memory once the app is installed...(though the amount cleared was on the order of 17x the size of the Numbers app...)
I notice a similar usage of Time Machine storage space... Small Time Machine saves require very large amounts of HDD space to be reserved for the backup... Wonder if the same logic is applied to the iPhone... Or perhaps every time WiFi was turned on and Numbers would reattempt to download, the amount of Other memory it required from the iPhone would increase...?
Anyone else noticed this behavior?
Bob

Update...
For "grins" I just un-checked "Sync Music", and synced my iPhone... Other Data went to zero. Re-checked "Sync Music" and synced, and only had 250Mb of Other on the iPhone. After a full sync with 7gb music, the Other memory number is back up to 2.23gb...
Interesting...

After iTunes 11.2 upgrade, big CPU and kernel memory usage

The first time I opened iTunes 11.2 after the upgrade, I hit next. I then fought to open Podcasts settings because I had a feeling the delete listened to would be on (it was), then turned it off. It was very difficult to get the iTunes UI to respond. Eventually the whole machine was slowing down, so I had to kill it.
After a reboot, I started iTunes again. This time I didn't even get the UI to come up, just high CPU usage (75-90% by iTunes), and quickly-growing kernel_task memory (> 4-5GB, was around 2GB before starting iTunes).
I can't get the iTunes UI to come up anymore.
Repairing disk permissions didn't help.
I have over a hundred podcast subscriptions, and some of the subscriptions have hundreds of episodes downloaded. I don't want to delete any of that because some of it can't be redownloaded. (Not that I can delete anything right now, as I can't get the iTunes UI to come up!)

This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
