'Eating' Mac Hard Drive then RAM Adobe CC

Hi All-

Apologize if this has been posted somewhere before but I need serious help.

A few weeks ago, I had a problem where something happened and it filled the unwanted mail folders on my mac under my CC adobe after effects folder full of junk.  Some of the garbage.  186GB of junk.

I found the source began to remove these files.  OK, so I'm back in business.

Yesterday, it happened again.  My hard disk space had fallen to 32 MB, and then he started eating my RAM.  I look down 14 GB nothing.

I then clear and Batman, begins to eat again.

I have cleared all my cache and all of a sudden my hard drive was back to normal.

I wake up today and it does again.

I found a few pieces of the puzzle.

I found that a "demon of adobe update" file or something fills.  It had 528 GB of usage on my hard drive.

Then I have a kernal eating my RAM space.

Could be a type of virus to Adobe for mac?  Someone at - it suggestions.  I'm done so beyond.

Hi William,.

Please, try the following steps:

(1) uninstall Adobe CC (https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html)

(2) restart the machine.

(3) install the latest Adobe Creative cloud version from the link: CC help | Creative cloud desktop

Kind regards

  • How to restore the Mac hard drive folders on 'Open', 'save' and ' Save as '?

    I very recently installed in Yosemite. Shortly after, I went to save an image in a folder "Images", but was surprised to find that not only the folder 'Images' have not shown, but no record showed. Only my Mac hard drive and, in the devices section, three external hard drives attached through it. The only way to make pictures has been to start with the hard drive and browse it. A process of waste of time. So far, all other programs I saved or open documents of Interior still show all photos. This problem seems to be isolated to Photoshop. I checked that all through Photoshop preferences but can find no way to restore it as it was. Help will be appreciated.

    You can try to reset the 2015 cc photoshop preferences by going to your user library

    (To view your user library, click on your desktop, click the Go menu and hold down the Option key.

    Then you should see the words of library, which is your user library.

    ~/Library/preferences)

    and by dragging the folder settings Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 in the trash

    Also let slide paths in Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 and com.adobe.Photoshop.plist in the trash as well and see if screw up these elements makes a difference.

    Hi amireos,

    Yes, you can create your workflow where you can keep all your images on the external hard drive and the Lightroom catalog file as well.

    If you start with Lightroom and then use the Destination location as external hard drive when you import your image of the external source such as a camera or SD.

    If you already have your Images on the Mac HD drive, then play all your Image on the external hard drive first and then import images directly from there.

    Finally, you can change the location of the Lightroom Catalog as well.

    Default location: folder on the Mac Drive HD, there is folder called Lightroom that you can move on the external drive too (however catalog Lightroom can't memory space as its only import previews of the images is not the real image and full)

    Once you move the file catalog Lightroom external hard disk, then you need to browse the catalog file when you launch Lightroom only once.

    See thread: LR catalog moving on external hard drive

    Let us know if it helps.

    Kind regards

    A hard drive with my Adobe leases was virus-infested and destroyed before Adobe products could be uninstalled.

    I had to uninstall the 2nd install computer (laptop) in order to install on my new desk.

    I would like to reinstall on my laptop but cannot because there is no way for me to uninstall from the destroyed hard drive.

    Your instructions tell me to contact me about this.

    Help, please!

    Normally, you do not have to uninstall anything, you only need to disable. You didn't need to uninstall on the laptop, nor do you need to turn it off.  If it is for the creative cloud then you should be able to install and connect on the laptop now and he is likely to ask you if you would allow all other facilities to be disconnected.  You can select Yes which will erase all of the activations, and then after that the laptop is turned on you can connect on the new desktop still once more.

  • Need help with 'Other' on my Mac hard drive

    Hi all, someone help me with this problem? Ive read previous support tickets in an effort to get to this sort, but my problem seems to be growing.

    S my mac is as follows:

    OS X Yosemite 10.10.5

    iMac (21.5 inch, mid 2011)

    Intel Core i5 at 2.7 GHz

    20 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

    Macintosh HD

    My problem is the 'Other' part of the HD memory has been slowly growing in recent weeks, Ive has cleared out all the obvious places, course trashed all my movies, edited down from my apps I don't need, removed tons of photos, today I deleted my main cache, must have been more than 100 topics there alone.

    But still 'other' continues to grow and I got my first warning tonight that my boot drive is almost full... currently; there I have 407,9 MB of free space on my Mac hard drive.

    Can someone walk me through the steps to get that back at all?

    Many thanks in advance,

    Malcolm

    Have you read and used OS X: what is 'other' space about this Mac?-Apple Support?

  • Recently replaced hard drive and ram, when I tried to activate Windows Vista Home Premium says the code has been used, how to fix this?

  • Mini Mac hard drive

    LSAT night my Mac Mini unexpectedly crashed. My screen is returned and I could hear what I listened for maybe 5-10 seconds more, then he stopped. He tried to restart it, but there was some vertical bars on the screen and he would charge only at half way. I tried again, same thing. If my hard drive is kaput, I would say. First question: how hard is it to replace a hard drive in a Mac mini, and what is the best HD? Ideal would be at least 500 GB. I'd love to tell you exactly how old my Mini's, but I can't get to this info. My best guess is 2012.

    My next question is if I can use my old 2007 (I think) MBP to access some of my files. Or better yet, if I can partition. I've recently upgraded to El Capitan on my Mini.

    I'm quite concerned to be without a desktop computer, so I hope I can fix/replace my HD soon. I can't afford a new Mini, so as hard as it sounds, I hope the replacement of the HD is not too involved.

    Depending on whether your HARD drive is installed in the upper or lower Bay, determines how many parts to remove to access.

    iFixit.com has Visual instructions about how do to replace a hard drive in a Mac Mini. I did it several times and it is not so difficult. You just need to go slow and keep track of all parties.

    OWC (Macsales.com) hard drives are very good. I recently bought a 1 to 7200 RPM disk HGST for about $65.

    As far as trying to get all the files off of it, you can try to put the Mini Mode target by its reboot by holding down the T key. I use a Thunderbolt cable for this. I don't know what you need to use with a Mac in 2007. If you are able to get the target Mode and then the 2007 Mac Mini you could see if you can copy files on. If all goes well, you have a sort of return to the top of the Mini before the drive failure.

  • Mac hard drive in trash

    While working on my mac mini from a top of the Tower on the same network, I noticed something very strange, at least for me and it's something I've never seen before. I went to empty the trash I had more deleted files that I no longer need and examined what was in the trash until I did the emptying of the Recycle Bin. Just a habit that I make sure that I am not delete something, I shouldn't be. During my review, I realized was the Macintosh hard drive icon to the trash. It is not a copy of a shortcut, it's actually the hard drive. It indicates the size of the hard drive up to 43.8 GB and a shortcut would be not so great. I went back and tried the hard drive in applications, downloads, all files and the only place where it appears is in the trash. I tried to remove it from the trash can by dragging to the desktop, applications, downloads, documents folder and all folders of files. The questions are: 1) how to return the hard drive in the applications folder or anywhere else. ((2) degree of severity of a problem is it and 3) I'll never be able to completely and permanently empty the trash due to the Macintosh hard disk icon is in the trash. Should I try to fix on my on the required technical support call or a visit to the genius bar? The extent of the operation is going, I am always able to access all files as if nothing has changed. The mini is an El Capitan 2010 late model running. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you guys!

    I guess that there is now no icon on the desktop for the disc? However, if there is then the drive is not really in the trash but there is probably an alias in the trash. OS X will not let you put the boot volume to the trash, and it will create a big warning.

  • Download iCloud photos to External Hard drive maxing out on my Mac hard drive

    My photo library was therefore mainly on iCloud due to its size, but I wanted have also stored it locally. So I bought a large external hard drive, plugged and copied my library of Photos of her. I made library of the external hard drive the library 'system' and click on ' download originals of this Mac. "

    My photo library increased from 5 GB to 127.5 GB local. Strangely, my iMac's hard drive began to be filled with hundreds of gigabytes of 'Other' files. Near 458 GB of "Other" files. I had to move even more files on the external drive just to make my iMac service as the new mysterious files are maxing out my hard drive.

    I'm sure that the download is at the origin of these mysterious "other" files. The download is almost complete. Is what I assume to be deleted by the Photos app temporary system files? I can't find the source of these files. My iMac utility disk tells me I have files over 121 million, while that the Finder tells me that I have only ~ 1 800 elements.

    Should I just make the trip to the Genius Bar, or this should be resolved once the download is complete? Late 2009 iMac, 500 GB; 1.3 photos.

    Thanks in advance.

    Let the full download and then check - it will probably be fine

  • I CHANGED THE HARD DRIVE, THEN I TRY TO REINSTALL WINDOWS XP BUT I GOT ERROR MSG MSNMSGS.MS_ FILE CAN NOT BE FOUND THROUGH. ? I CLICKED RETRY. THEN HE DID THE SAME THING CUPLE TIME WITH SAME & ANOTHER ERROR MSG.

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Do not install an operating system is usually caused by (in order of probability):

    1. you are trying to install with other devices connected to the computer. Unplug them before trying to make an installation.

    2. "" "" defective installation media. "" Check the CD/DVD installation for scratches, tasks. Try another machine.

    3. bad optical drive. Test with another CD/DVD bootable or Exchange for a well-known work.

    4. faulty RAM. Test with Memtest86 + www.memtest.org . You will download the .iso image file to create a bootable cd. Burn the file with the third party burning software *-as an image, not in the form of data. Then start with the media that you did (you may need to change the boot priority in your BIOS so that the optical drive is the first boot device). The test runs immediately. The test run for an hour or two--at least that errors are seen immediately. If you get any errors, replace the RAM.

    * A good free choice ImgBurn comes from www.imgburn.com .

    5. bad hard drive. Test with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr... You create a bootable CD with the files you download. Burn the file with a third-party burning software - image, not in the form of data. Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. The physical tests fail, replace it.
