InDesign CS4 slow. Spinning beachball headaches

• Slow typing letters (InDesign CS4)

  Really frustrated here. I'm writing a guide to the user using InDesign CS4. I created a file of book .indb and added 5 documents where 4 of them are about 2 - 3 MB each. The main document is on about 10 MB, and the number of pages are 63. It is not a very large document, is it? I'm not too eager to share this confidential document, so I try to explain my problem completely...

  When you type in the main document letters penetrates more slowly than the poors syrup. I type, and then I have to wait. It takes up to one second each letter! It doesn't matter if I type since the beginning of the document, or the end of it. Don't not InDesign handles large documents, or is it a matter of content. All the other functions and panels is functioning normally.

  The main document consists of text and screenshots in the .png format and style with Monica and the framework. The text is formatted with a set of rules of paragraph. In addition, I created a group of objects to text Notes, consisting of an icon to the left to the text, then a gray background with frame that surrounds the text of the note. This group has the object, character and paragraph styles attached to it. I can't believe that this slows down the document.

  I have run a few tests. I save the main document separately outside the .indb file and perform several tests to remove stuff in separate operations. After deleting stuff I'm trying to type text to see if typing works always in syrup form. Remove all screenshots in one operation, a table in another separate operation, then the headers, note styles and finally reduce the content. After each withdrawal operation I have test typing from the beginning of the document, same place every time. None of the samples appear to have no effect on the size of the document. However, by reducing the long 63 page document until 45 accelerates typing like a charm. At all, reducing to only 55 pages, however, make no difference. But why should reduce 10 pages of a big 63 page document such great effect? Is the size limit for files InDesign-50 pages? Or what?

  I would be extremely grateful if someone could enlighten me on this subject.

• iMac hangs after connecting with the interminable spinning beachball, but works in safe mode.

  Plug

  iMac 27 "(mid-2010) running Os X El Capitan 10.11.4"

  Processor: 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3

  Memory: 16 GB at 1333 MHz DDR3

  Problem

  With a normal startup, iMac will start properly and I can successfully connect. Once connected, I immediately get a popup window stating "To open"CS5ServiceManager", you need to install the runtime Java SE 6 legacy." I have the opportunity to click on 'Détails' or 'OK', if I click on what anyone, I immediately get the spinning beachball. I'm sure that he ran the updates at night, because the next morning was when problems began to occur.

  With a sure start, I can connect properly, everything is and I can open applications, it's just very slow.

  What I have done (in no particular order)

  1 Ran first aid utility disk

  2 reinstalled OS X El Capitan

  3 reset the NVRAM

  4. the elements of disabled opening (Dropbox and Google Drive)

  4 Ran correctly in Safe Mode, but when I rebooted the problem still occurred.

  Recently I also upgraded my RAM from 8 GB to 16 GB, it has greatly improved the performance of the machine, and I don't have any problems so far.

  I'm almost to the point of wiping the device to its factory settings, because it is so frustrating me. I really don't store anything on site, everything is in the cloud, or on an external hard drive.

  Could be my problem?

  Hi, Goldenbill.

  Please visit Apple support communities.

  I understand that your computer stops responding when waking from sleep.  Be sure to quit all open applications that are not in use before placing your iMac in mode 'sleep'.  The article below describes how to leave applications for Yosemite, but the measures also apply to the 10.6.8.

  OS X Yosemite: Quit apps

  The next step would be to go through the following troubleshooting information.

  If your Mac does not wake up when you plan

  Your Mac can to pause a few seconds before he wakes up. If she does not wake up at all, check these possibilities:

  • The brightness of your screen may be refused.
  • If you use an external monitor, your screen can be disabled.
  • Your Mac may be safe sleep. For to wake up the safe sleep, press the power button.
  • Find a light sleep, if any, and make sure that your Mac is not turned off.

  If the previous steps do not work

  These additional steps can help identify or resolve the problem:

  • Reset the SMC.
  • Reset the NVRAM.
  • Disconnect external devices other than your Apple keyboard, mouse, and screen. If that solves the problem, gradually reconnect your devices, testing each time until you find the device that interferes with sleep. And then check the documentation that came with the device or contact the manufacturer of the device.
  • Start in Safe Mode to see if the problem is related to startup items not Apple, login items or kernel extensions.
  • Try to isolate the problem by using a different user account.

  If your Mac does not sleep or wake up when expected

• Spinning BeachBall on Mac

  I have a ridiculously fast computer. 12-core MacPro with 32 GB of RAM.

  Yet, when I'm in the Adobe cloud applications I get a lot of spinning beachball when I try and do things. This seems to have happened since the last update. It happens only with Adobe products. I mainly work in Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, and Dreamweaver.

  I guess it has something to do with the tender hand to Adobe on the web to make sure that my apps are purchased and what not. Anyone else encounter this?

  I talked to a couple of my friends and they too seem to be a lot of rotation. They thought that they need more ram or CPU. As my machine has a lot of CPU and RAM and I have internet 75MBps, I think it's something else.

  Not a question of Adobe. A Mac OS problem. It all happens in working as well in Safari. Disregard this question

• S-L-O-O-O-W! If this problem has been resolved? Spinning Beachball every time I change anything!

  Hi all - I have the latest version of Dreamweaver CC 2014 (6733 Build). It is desperately slow. I searched and found a lot of discussions about it, tried a few recommendations, but have not found a solution to this problem - and I need to get this working ASAP because I spend too much time waiting and waiting and waiting. I even started a new site, with only one html page. Something as simple as applying an h1 tag, and then editing the text attributes: Color - wait, wait, wait (spinning beachball), wait, wait... changed. Then change the size - wait, wait, wait (spinning beachball), wait, wait... changed. Change police - wait, wait, wait (spinning beachball), wait, wait... changed. I'm sure you get the point. This is a completely unacceptable way to work! The same thing happens on my desktop and my laptop. Any advice would be really appreciated.

  FOLLOW-UP: I must say that Adobe Support treats this very good question - Preran and Sonam thanks for you help! They tried to communicate with me the day after my post, but I was not available - make us an appointment for today and she called earlier. We did about troubleshooting an hour and found out it was a police problem. I use a police utility that had some sort of conflict with my system fonts. Once it has been resolved, Dreamweaver is now very fast. My advice to anyone having this problem would be to stop all non-system fonts and see if that helps. Keep the excellent work and support Adobe... this user absolutely appreciate it!

• InDesign very slow to appear or to quit smoking

  I have a 2.66 GHz Quad-core Intel Xeon Mac Pro with 3GBs of RAM. I use InDesign CS5. Last year, I ran InDesign CS4 on a Mac G5 with more RAM. On computers and both versions of InDesign, I have known the same frustratingly slow. I keep InDesign open in the background most of the time because I have an I am editor of the monthly newsletter, and I use InDesign for other projects as well. When I first open InDesign, it's pretty catchy, but when he is in the background for a while, not used, so I want to bring to the front to use it, I click the InDesign icon in the Dock or I'll use the command key and the Tab key to go to InDesign. Instead of instantly appear as do most other applications, it can take more than a minute for InDesign to be fully there. Wait and wait and InDesign is starting to show the menu, then toolbars, then the document, and finally, I can actually do something in InDesign.

  The same thing happens when I want to quit InDesign if it is in the background rather than actively used. If I go to the icon in the Dock and choose QUIT to InDesign, it takes forever and sometimes he just left. I end up having to force quit. I thought what is InDesign CS5 and a faster Mac would eliminate this problem, but it continues. I don't understand. Is there something I can do to get InDesign to go faster when I want to highlight or leave when it's in the background?

  There is a setting in InDesign Preferecens under Interface, it's called Live screen redraw, it is the default Immediate value. Maybe if you change it back, it can speed up a little?

• Upgrade memory PC 2 GB to 4 GB - problem with Indesign CS4

  I use Indesign CS4 on a PC (XP Professional SP3) that has 2 GB of memory. InDesign would go, but it has been slow, so upgraded to 4 GB. InDesign is running, but when we try to cut the text on one application and paste it into the document Indsign, he hesitates for a second or two before finishing the task.

  Is there some settings in Indesign to be considered in the upgrade memory? Any help or thoughts on this would be appreciated.

  I don't think that the problem is caused by InDesign.

• Update to iTunes 12.2 and beyond features spinning beachball

  Model name: MacBook Pro

  Model identifier: MacBookPro11, 3

  Processor name: Intel Core i7

  Processor speed: 2.6 GHz

  Number of processors: 1

  Total number of Cores: 4

  (By heart) L2 Cache: 256 KB

  L3 Cache: 6 MB

  Memory: 16 GB

  Boot ROM version: MBP112.0138.B16

  Version of the SCM (System): 2.19f12

  Since the upgrade to iTunes 12.2 (currently using 12.3.1.23), I get the spinning beachball whenever I try to edit a mp3 tag (for example, editing track info).  The beachball runs for 1 to 2 minutes, during which, I can't use iTunes.  During this time, playing music will continue until the trail ends, but don't skip to the next track until the spinning beachball resolves.

  The beachball also appears while I rip CDs, a process that is now extremely long, as the beachball spins for several minutes while the song is to complete its importation in the iTunes library.  Meanwhile, iTunes is also unusable.

  There are no other problems with my MacBook Pro, and it's the only problem I've had since the upgrade.  As a heavy iTunes user, this problem is extremely frustrating.  I tried to download and reinstall iTunes, but this action has not resolved the problem.

  Run the Console application in one of the following ways:

  ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

  ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

  ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

• InDesign CS4 - basic features

  I'm new to Indesign. It's about Indesign CS4 version 6.0.6

  I restarted my computer (Windows 7 Professional, version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601). I started to Indesign. I created a new document using the predefined default settings.

  In these circumstances, I find the following things: in the tools Panel, only the selection tool is available. There is no answer to a click on the icon for any other tool. In the pages Panel, there is no response to a click on the 'Create new page' icon at the bottom of the Panel, but I can add a new page by choosing "Insert Pages," which is the best choice for the menu for this Panel. However, once I have more than one page, I can't select a page by clicking the page icon in this Panel. If I open Windows Notepad, type some text and copy it, then I can ' Edition > paste "use in Indesign to create a block of text. I read a relevant text in the first 5 chapters of the indesign_cs4_help.pdf and can't find any preparatory action I should take in order to use the text on a new document tool. What I'm missing here? Is there a way that I could hire accidentally who survive a reboot?

• InDesign CS4 purchase option - no. CLOUD!

  I would like to know why Adobe decided that the cloud is the way forward?

  I have CS4 Web Premium. It works very well for me and I need to upgrade. However, I want to buy InDesign CS4 to go with my now, BUT that is not feasible. Now, they want you to pay a monthly fee... which I have NO confidence Cloud products. I want tangible objects in my hand and not have to pay monthly service fees. What a bunch of crap!

  If anyone knows where I can buy a new InDesign CS4 with SN program, let me know. Or, if there is an alternative program that won't lock you in monthly subscription fees, let me know.

  Thank you!

  CS4 is no longer sold, you can buy CS6

  Link to buy the CS6 via phone http://www.adobe.com/products/cs6.html read all the way down

  From what I read in a forum message, newer than 10.7 Mac must subscribe in the cloud instead of buy CS6... and someone with Win10 must also subscribe to the cloud for CS6 is not compatible (meaning that the seller will ask you your operating system and not sell you CS6 if she does not work on your computer... I don't know if this means that Win7 and you can't buy if you have Win8)

  Please report back with your operating system if you are able to buy CS6
