• Photoshop sluggish CC on new iMac

  Hey everybody,

  
  

  Recently bought an iMac brand new, top-of-the-line 5 K. I am a cartoonist Comics, so my daily photoshop includes files 300 DPI 11 x 17 with a lot of black and white line drawings and text, grouped in several cases of hidden layer. I have a new Pro Intuos tablet for drawing, updated with the latest drivers, and I found that all my work files that have made very slowly, seemingly surprising based on my system specifications. Drawing with the tablet or mouse is slow, slow, sometimes jump or unresponsive. Navigation and scrolling in the files of the work is slow and jerky. Overall, it seems not that these files should be so slow on a brand new system like that.

  I disabled the layer thumbnails, as often seems to be a big performance killer, but these files are always desperately slow.

  Any suggestions?

• iMac (retina) - Fusion 8 - 10 Windows - very slow

  Hi guys,.

  I need help troubleshooting a Windows 10 virtual machine that runs at snail's pace. Installation program:

  -iMac (retina 5 k, 27 inches, end of 2015)

  -Processor: 3.2 Ghz Intel core i5

  -Memory: 8 GB

  -Storage: 1 TB drive of Fusion

  -Graphics card: AMD Radeon R9 M390

  -OS X 10.11.6 (El Capitan)

  -VMware Fusion 8

  -10 Windows Home / 64 Bit, completely updated according to the settings / Windows Update.

  I installed Fusion 8, installed 10 Windows using the ISO from Microsoft site and added VM Ware Tools. The installation went without any problems.

  VMware for this Windows 10 VM parameters:

  -CPU: 1 heart of processor

  -RAM: 1 GB (shown as recommended in the control panel)

  -Hard drive: 60 GB

  I adapted only screen size settings in order to have Fusion / 10 Windows using the full resolution on the Retina display (Scaled high resolution) for unity and full screen. "Accelerate 3D graphics" it's on.

  I'm now trying to use this virtual machine and it is extremely slow - both in full screen mode and one-stop shops. For example, after you click the icon on the start menu, it takes about 10 seconds until the start menu appear effectively. Chrome opening = 90 seconds. What switching applications or dragging of windows, you can sometimes watch the screen redraw. Sluggish _really_.

  OS X monitor shows only moderate, activity should the CPU activity.

  In the Windows 10 VM, the Task Manager / processes tab shows moderate (30%) Support CPU but memory, its use is constantly between 90 and 100% - even when no apps are open. However, no task stands out as a resource hog.

  I went on "Pre-allocate disk space" in the control panel merge and change RAM of 2 GB to give VM more. Performance feels a whole little bit better, but the load high memory remains even when the system is idle.

  This feels like a cheap $ 250, low-power PC. Is this normal?

  I'd appreciate any help here.

  

  1 GB of RAM for Windows 10 is far from weak. It will be 'run', but not well. Even 2 is pushing it. 1 processor is pushing it too.

  It behaves like a PC $250 because that's essentially what you have given to resources.

• Freezes and restarts on 2015 5K running El Capitan iMac and am ready to freak me out

  Hi guys,.

  If I posted my check and reports being panic, could someone tell me what caused random freezes and restarts on my iMac 5 K - ish, El Capitan running? I am a designer/Retoucher and I am in the middle of a big job, of course.

  He went on and off for a few months. I have cleared my startup disk and played fresh OS installs (didn't even use Migration Assistant just to be safe), three times. I installed apps one at a time try to refine what is the cause but could not.

  At first I thought it was my mouse Logitech G502 because when I went to an old mouse for a few weeks the problem has disappeared. But yesterday, listening to iTunes via Airplay and working in InDesign, the system froze again.

  I wonder if she might be SoftRAID(4) and/or my two RAIDs of 4 external ThunderBay?

  Thanks in advance!

  Steve

• iMac restarts after sleep

  Problems lately with my iMac 27 "5 K. After putting to sleep, it is restarts after about 2 hours.  If I wake up it before that date, it is usually very good. But after 2 hours, it restarts. Sometimes, I find it just be stopped. Most of the time when it restarts itself, it crashes with this gray bar filled about 80% progress.  I have reset the PRAM and EMS, checked all the settings in power management (not set to restart after power failure for example).

  Another problem I 'bypassed' which may or may not be related (I'm including in case it is related) is that on El Capitan, my magic trackpad would randomly wake the iMac.  I had to disable the option to allow devices BT wake up the Mac. When I upgraded to Sierra, the iMac still wake up randomly due to an event of BT. After a lot of trial and error, activate the option "allow bluetooth to computer devices" back prevented the wake-ups at random and let me wake up the computer again deliberately with the trackpad.  Very strange.

  In any case, I'm usually pretty ingenious to resolve this sort of thing myself, but the Console to Sierra news is terrible. Or maybe it's the system logs that are terrible, because I can't find anything about the causes of previous judgment that might provide a clue as to what is happening here.

  So, any advice on how to solve the problem or at least to determine the causes of the previous stop would be greatly appreciated!

• iMac, loss of internet connection on sleep

  I have remote on my iMac all the time. I have problems with it the loss of connection to the internet since the upgrade to Sierra. I connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable. I'll lose connection 10-15 minutes after leaving my computer and access it remotely. I "Wake for network WiFi access" checked and enable the display of SETTING for 10 minutes. " I just had this problem in the past few days since the upgrade. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I also use it for the presentation of work very frequently and lose the connection during their. Thank you

  Tom

  Not quite the same thing as I'm not trying to access remotely, but since the upgrade to Sierra, my iMac mid-2010 do not reconnect to the wifi in the morning.  It is not slow, it will not reconnect all until I explicitly select the network.  I don't have this problem before the Sierra, and it doesn't seem to affect my Air mid-2012 (also on the Sierra).

• pop up saying that a device is connected to my Imac with IP

  My iMac is completely compromised after having an intrusion on my internet router.

  I supported everthing this summer.  I tried to reset my IMac to factory settings.

  A pop up came in September saying that another device is connected to my internet

  connection with an IP address.  I called my provider of intellectual property, and they said it was a

  Xerox printer.  I don't have a Xerox printer.

  I followed all the steps in trying to get rid of malware and successfully, I think, to get rid of

  It is for 1 or 2 days.  But something else is in my system.

  Because I tried to protect my computer.  I'm changing my internet provider

  This week and I would like to hide my IP to my iMac.

  Hide my IP to my iMac when I'm on the internet?

  Depending on your router model, there should be a way of

  disable DHCP.  It is a method used by the router to assign

  IP addresses on your local network when any device attempts

  connect you to it.  You can then manually assign IP addresses to only

  These devices that you want to have access to your router.

  If you haven't already done so, you must also change the password (and also

  username if the router required) to something else and much stronger.

  If it is always the default, with which it was delivered, anyone can understand this.

  In addition, if the router is a network capable wireless as well, you must disable the comments

  access and create stronger passwords.

  Also, make sure that all firewalls is enabled on devices and the

  router.

  As every router is different, you will need to check the manufacturer's instructions

  to make these changes.

• Canon MG7100 prints but will not scan after update of the iMac? How to fix?

  Canon MG7100 worked very well with the iMac - scanning and printing. After doing the updates of the iMac and installation Siri scanning does not work. Always printing. The printer/scanner Canon said - Set PC to start scanning - I have MG7100 added on the iMac. I opened (and re-locked) firewall to let in the Canon UJ utility.

  doesn't look like canon has a printer that takes in charge the newer versions of Mac OS x, if I were you I would take contact them to see if they plan on support of new versions, apple made no drivers for the hardware they don't and if hardware manufacturers does not provide a working driver head can group with the new version of Mac OS x We have to rely on manufacturing to have a download on their page
