• Problem with text Photoshop with OSX Mavericks on Macbook Pro

  I have a frustrating problem with Photoshop on my Macbook Pro. "I can enter text without any problem, but the minute I try to edit it, resize, change font or color the totallt disappears and the layer name back to ' layer x" (whatever number it is). This problem has appeared since the upgrade to the Mavericks of OSX, but only on my Macbook Pro... he can't on my iMac 27 "that is running the same OS.

  I totally uninstalled all my CC Apps on Mackbook Pro, reinstalled Photoshop CC, same problem.

  I uninstalled CC again and reinstalled Photoshop CS6, same problem.

  This is despite having run the software without problem before.

  The Macbook Pro is a model in early 2010, has only 256 graphics... so can't run the CC 3D option, but there 8gig of ram... the only difference between the Macbook Pro and iMac in terms of specs is the format of different graphics card. (iMac is late 2012 latest version)

  The problem is I am a teacher and the Mackbook is my portable teaching... and I teach digital photography... so I must have Photoshop running.

  Any... other than total sugguestons clean reinstallation of the entire computer, that would be a total pain and extremely time-consuming.

  Turn off the speech recognition/dictation feature in MacOS 10, 9 - it causes problems for text editing.

• Very slow Macbook Pro (2012), please help with report EtreCheck

  Hi all

  My Macbook runs very slowly, I tried a number of things suggested online but none worked. I recently went to a repair shop and they suggested it could be to do with the dataflex (not sure if this was exactly, but I remember it sounding similar.) They described as a hard drive to another internal component connection, sorry for the inaccuracy.) I have me am replaced, but this did not help either.

  I downloaded the software EtreCheck and I was wondering if someone could help me to make light of the report on possible solutions? I have the feeling that it could be the hard drive needs to be replaced, but have no evidence of that. Verification has been run for the problem of "Beachballing" and got the sub report, please let me know if more info would be helpful. I hope it's telling in a way!

  Thank you for the pointers.

  Hello mrdivorce,

  It looks like of course as evidence of a hard drive failing for me. Hard drives 2.5 "in the MacBook Pro tend to fail after 2-3 years. Judging by the date on your MacBook, I think that your time is up. Maybe try to find a different repair store. Looking for Service Center authorized Apple (https://locate.apple.com/).

  I suggest upgrading to an SSD and increasing your RAM too. Then you have the hardware to run the last OS X 10.11.

• Unbelivably slow MacBook Pro - help very appreciated.

  Hello!

  First of all, I want to thank you all for the amount of time you have helped me sort my MacBook Pro in the past. As a lurker for a long time, I really appreciate the solutions that you have posted on this forum.

  Unfortunately, my current problem has forced me to create an account to ask directly for your help!

  I currently hold a * 13 inch MacBook Pro (Non-retine) mid-2012 (MacBook Pro9, 2), 16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD * that runs OSX 10.11.5. It runs incredibly slow - it took me 20 seconds to open chrome and it shifted 10 seconds when I typed "Apple." I have no background applications running and the CPU usage is about 10%, RAM usage is only 2-3 GB.

  There are several things I've tried:

  • Back-Up my SSD and erase it entirely
  • Reinstall the OSX. Because it is a MBP 2012, he has returned to the Mountain Lion, which was still slow.
  • Updated to Yosemite OSX. Still slow.
  • Upgrade to OSX El Capitan 10.11.3, then OSX 10.11.4 and currently OSX 10.11.5.
  • I ran a complete test of material (in D now after starting MBP) - came out with "No problems Found".
  • Reset PRAM and SRAM
  • Thought it might be the star of indexing time so just let it sit on for 24 hours
  • Tried to restore from a backup Time Machine when the laptop works well
  • Erased from the new laptop and repeated OSX upgrade steps
  • It was Safari that could be the cause, so I deleted the files in Safari from the folder "Cache" and "Preferences".

  I apologize in advance if I have a few obvious things, please let me know. Thank you in advance for your help!

• Unusually slow MacBook pro, as well as problems with power.

  I'm looking for help on setting my Mac, any help from anyone would be great!

  Recently, my MacBook Pro (running El Capitan) at the end of 2013 model started running really slow unawares (before that it was perfect). No hardware or software, changes began to really randomly goes slowly. My mac has always very well maintained, regular clean ups of junk, utility to check disk done often, no useless apps or data.

  Other questions, I'll have with power up the mac off is when I press the power button to turn off it starts then a few turns (don't not even to Apple to loading off-screen, shines the screen but then powers), I have to hold the power button for 10 seconds approximately to get power properly, when I close the lid without turning off then open it I went to the login screen instantly but then close the book Mac downs completely.

  I ran the Apple Diagnostics, no problem. I also ran repair disk utility, no change. I even did a clean install of the operating system and there was a very minor change, but always far make the level it's at.

  Thank you

  A slow Mac may be due to not enough available storage space.

  Click on your Apple  menu at the top left of your screen.

  In the menu drop down click on about this Mac , and then select the storage tab.

  Your Mac is the bare minimum needs 8 GB of storage available just for the operating system not to mention all your personal data.

• EtreCheck on slow macbook pro pls HELP!

  Hi - I made a clean of El Capitan installation after that I erased everything on my macbook, because of the amount of waste for 3 years. But now he runs even slower that before I erased everything. And he constantly beachballing and freezer a lot since the clean install. PS. I also got El Capitan 10.11.2 before but now its 10.11.3 if it has something to say.

  Someone from the community suggested that an EtreCheck was a good idea to tell if there is a problem. If anyone can help me with what's going on?

  MDworker is the job that creates the Spotlight index.

  I wondered if the part of the question with Yosemite and El Capitan is slow after upgrade is all that reindexing.

  Menu utilities - activity monitory - check the MDS and the MDworker to see if they show great use of CPU.

• With the help of 4 k on macbook pro 2014 retina

  I shoot with a professional 3 Ghost and wondering how to see 4 k on the mac (Macbook Pro retina 15', mi 2014) and love at first sight?  Do I need to calibrate the screen?  Or can someone tell me best practices for videographers again using Final Cut.  I know I have a lot to learn.  I just spent iMovie to Final Cut and that's just for real estate professionals. Any help would be appreciated, I have read a lot of politics on the ISP and the display settings and just want to know the most common practice.

  ... then, advertising...

  So why take care of true colors?

  What I saw of RE-ads, it is in many cases 'all the controls to the max' - supersaturated, over-sharpened, too

  Out-of-the-box, the retinas are excellent adjusted. Professional graders use monitors external, somewhere beyond the 10 k price range + calibrators $$$.

  I guess when you start with FCPX. from iMovie, true colors is on the end of your to-do list

  Learning about the software, I look like a salesman, but I do not participate with this trick:

  www.rippletraining.com

  They offer all kinds of tutorials, from free (to YT) to "dear..." (= worth every penny)

  Excellent source, nice looking, not "engineer jargon" but practical approach.

  regarding 'color' and FCPX, spend a few hours with the tutorials free

• Very slow Macbook Pro 13 inch Mid 2012

  Hello world! I'm not savvy at all, so my apologies if something is not clear in my message below.

  Data sheet:

  MacBook Pro 13 inch (mid-2012)

  OS X Yosemite: Version 10.10.5

  Processor: Intel Core i5 2.5 GHz

  Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

  Storage: 139.3/499.25 GB in use; 359,95 GB free

  For the last two weeks, my Macbook Pro 13 inch (mid-2012) has been extremely slow. The colorful beachball (aka the wheel of death) often shows up, even when I'm just trying to type something, such as now (I'll have to type really slowly, so it can track). This slowness came very suddenly.

  I tried resetting SMC/NVRAM, repair disk permissions, then by restarting in safe mode, but the problem persists (I also tried to upgrade to El Capitan, but was met with a loop of reboot delicious and recovered my time machine backup again to the recovery mode). I think I can also try to reindex spotlight, but I may or may not succeed.

  I was not able to create a Time Machine backup successfully for the last month, because it gets stuck on "preparing for backup...". "(not sure if this could be related). I also wanted to point out that Dropbox is one of my startup items, but I got it for centuries, and it has never been my Macbook it ridiculously slow. Before this slowness, I would leave it and my Macbook would be back up to speed. I also tried to remove the list of startup items and slowness persists even after rebooting.

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

  I have seen many people post 'EtreCheck' reports, so here are mine (sorry if I got any irrelevant information - I don't know what all this means):

• All of a sudden c. slow Macbook Pro mid 2012

  Hello

  A few days ago, my MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid 2012) began to slow all of a sudden, often due to frequent beachballing of the cursor. I've had it three years now, and he never ran so slow. Basic functions same as open a web browser or the Finder be slow and difficult, with the municipality of beachballing. After running an EtreCheck on the laptop, he identified the performance than the poor and who have been having problems with the RAM. I could really do with some expert advice on how to solve this problem, and any help will be received with joy.

  Thank you

  Charlie

  Problem: Beachballing

  Description:

  Very suddenly, my Macbook Pro (mid-2012, 13 inches) has begun to slow down, with the beachball cursor popping up whenever I try to do the same basic functions, access to a web browser, at the opening of a program. I do not understand why this has happened so suddenly and what is the cause.

  So it seems that you need to develop your ram on this model because your running a lot of things at once, or the system is spent as you have used. Its pretty easy to install new ram on your template as well.

  Your computer can be upgraded to 16 GB of ram on this model. There are several kits out there to buy for this as well with. Let me know if you need help.

• New user with the iMac and MacBook Pro...

  I just ordered Lightroom 3, and while I'm waiting for delivery, I did the research so that I set up correctly from the start.  My husband and I are amateur photographers, not professionals.  So, we have a lot of pictures, but not thousands.  I take most of the photos.  I do not use RAW, but sometimes my husband does.  We use Photoshop Elements 8 to edition and iPhoto to produce books, export to our iPad, etc..  We have 2 computers... an iMac and a MacBook Pro.   All the reading I've done, I think I should install the Lightroom Catalog to the shared drive on our iMac.  All photos that we can live on this share drive (when importing we can mark with our own name so that we can each make a collection of our own photos).  As I understand it, each of us could use our own space on the iMac's Lightroom to access this library shared, to make our own edits, etc.

  First question... is what I said above correct and it seems like the best way to organize?

  Second question... it is now quite easy to access my files from my MacBook on our home network bridge.  It will be easy to access files via Lightroom when they live on the iMac but I want to use the MacBook instead?

  No help to you all, experts out there would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you, Cindy

  Well, wireless will be /technically/ work. Because the wireless network connection simply provides a conduit through which is an extra layer of stuff system of sent files (probably AFP or SMBFS or something) for you give access to remote files and directories, you can see the performance is not acceptable.

  Some people report performance ok with remote catalogues and managed files, but many have catalog locally, with the managed pictures on drive accessible via a protocol of remote files.  Despite this, I suspect that some of these people are connected via gigabit ethernet.

  You will find that the network connection or the remote file system protocol may bring slow unreasonable things.

  Another restriction is that, under the right circumstances, Lr will change behavior to prevent you from using it in network. I forgot the exact circumstances in which this happens (I think it was reported that in other threads). I remember that it is limited to the import dialog. It will probably cause problems for you since the paths you use will probably be impossible to distinguish from local paths, but I wanted to mention it just in case.

• Why the sound does not work in Windows 10 with BootCamp installed on MacBook Pro mid 2012

  So, I recently had a mistake huge hard drive, then I formatted the drive and installed Windows 10 I downloaded the BootCamp 5.1.5621 software (which is the version for this computer) and my audio didn't work. I've used Windows 8.1 in the past without Activation, but that was a few months ago. I've deleted it 2 days after I put it on the computer, but all drivers well worked out there. Although I plug in a USB headset and audio installed and worked fine! Help, please! I even reinstalled BootCamp!

  I have the same Macbook Pro 2012 with boot camp and dual boot Windows-10 and Sierra.

  Everything works fine. I think you have the wrong boot camp files.

  I think that you need version 6. Reconnect to OS X and run the boot camp assistant and try to download new files from boot camp.

• Help with Ram &amp; graphics (old mac pro)

  Hello!

  I am in need of help on my "old" gen mac pro 8-core xeon 5500 3rd (early 2009).

  I just upgraded it to El Captain 10.11.6 and everything is working quite well.

  I want to upgrade the RAM 16 GB and change the video card to something more recent with at least 1 GB of ram on it.

  This mac was sitting in a corner for a while due to a recent move to London and I chose to give it a try and continue to use it.
  At the moment, I have the following configuration:

  I went to the apple store in Covent Garden, here in London and they told me to check the site of Crucial that ram that I buy using their tool to find the exact model, I need.

  Well... I did... and the Web page does not suggest me any RAM, only SSDS.

  

  I tried the same tool on other Mac I (iMac and macbook pro) and it worked.

  So, my fear is that they (crucial) have no RAM in stock for my specific model.

  Do you know what version should I buy and where? (amazon?)

  The same is for the video card, I want to upgrade to another card with at least 1 GB of ram on it.

  The mac will be used mainly as Adobe Creative station for Photoshop / Lightroom / InDesign.

  Thank you in advance and I really hope you can help me. (even the guy from the apple store told me to ask here...)

  Tip: Mac cards replacement Graphics Pro money Tour (2006-2012)

  Since it seems that you have a working graphics card you can buy a PC graphics card since those who are less expensive than a Mac of the card. The problem with PC cards is the show they just something on the screen after loading drivers that is right in front of the login screen. For example, you may not use special startups like recovery, boot screen Manager since there is no indication on the screen.

• Creative Suite CS5 - HAVE blocks with El Capitan on Macbook Pro 2015

  Hello

  I recently "upgraded" from 2006, one to a Macbook Pro 2015. Illustrator Creative Suite CS5, I bought years ago continues to crash when I try to save files, among others. I have read several forums and still do not have an effective solution. I tired: install Java 2015-001, uninstalled, and reinstalled the Creative Suite, renamed the file manager services with '.bak' and nothing works. I'm a graphic designer with the big upcoming deadlines and need of emergency assistance. Please advise! Thank you. Creative Suites Illustrator Download, installation, setting up

  If El Capitan Mac (or the new operating system of Sierra) read below

  CS6 and previous programs have not been tested and will not be updated to run on Mac El Capitan

  -which means you are trying to use CS6 and earlier at YOUR risk of having problems

  -You can get CS6 and previous programs to install and run, or you can not (some do, some don't)

  -Java https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/dreamweaver-java-se-6-runtime.html can help

  But... If you have an old program, it is only certified to run with an old operating system

• Why do I get: "invalid activation code?" with CS6 on a MacBook Pro?

  Help, please!

  I tried to install CS6 on a new MacBook Pro (I have a valid license, which can be found on my account of the adobe.com site).  I get a message of activation code not valid no matter what I try.  Here's what I've done so far which did not work:

  1. uninstalled and reinstalled the software

  2 disabled CS6 on an old laptop running the software

  3 tried installation in trial mode and then tried to activate (as well as a right with a code installation)

  4. establish a new user and I tried to install under the new user

  5. basically, I tried what I saw as a possible solution when reading the forums on this topic

  6 serial number entered has been checked and re-checked several times - it is my account of the adobe.com site

  7A a chat session back a little with a representative of adobe, but that case has been closed without solving the problem and I can not reopen - and I can't enter "chat."

  I talked to the following forum documents when you try the above: "invalid serial number error" and "error:"serial number is not valid for this product "|" Creative Suite. »

  I'm currently under OS El Capitan or 10.11.2 on a MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid 2015, retina).  Date and time are correct.  English has been used systematically.

  I said HELP already?

  John Merci for your help and suggestions!

  After trying your suggestions without success, I was able to do a chat session with Adobe today.  I figured out that I had 2 accounts Adobe with 2 email addresses.  The serial number that I used was for CS3 (I upgraded to CS6 in CS3).  When I finally came on the second adobe account, I discovered the CS6 serial number and installation ended safely.

  What a headache!  I think I have to tattoo the serial numbers on my forehead :)

• Should you cuda for playback with 4 k on Macbook pro end of 2013?

  My question is, I have a macbook pro (late 2013) i7, 16 G of ram, nvidia Gforce 750 m with 2 GB of memory ddr5, mavericks osx 10.9.1

  Is this reading machine 4 k with only the software? or he must have active cuda?

  Because I did several tests first with RED 4 k files and even with a resolution of 1/4 I always drop frames. Then I tested with Arri Alexa 2 RAW files k and first just may have a reading decent regardless of resolution 1/2 gal and droped frames, 1/4, this is a no go because there a lot of pixels can't really see it happening.

  Another test was 4 k IOS Canon 1 d files. These files are still similar to the arri those, I do not have a reading no matter the resolution! These files, I can't even play on VLC they lag everywhere.

  I handled the files on the flash drive SSD internal 700MB read/write, and then in a lacie us3, same problem. On the first with the software alone and cuda, same thing.

  (I already posted on a diferent discussion, im having droped frames with cuda on simple H264 files enable, then maybe for 4 k is possible, but only when the cuda option works perfectly)

  If its a problem with my computer, or you guys think its first Adobe CC?

  Thank you

  
  

  CUDA does not at all help with reading.  It helps with effects, graduation, blend modes and other.

  For this kind of media, you should really focus on a proper workstation with five internal drives:

  System

  Projects

  Cache / Scratch

  Media

  Exports

  And you might want to consider making this Media Player a RAID 3, which means a minimum of seven internal disks.
