Update to LR3 LR1 - is it useful on an iMac 4 years?

Hello

Please can someone offer some advice.

I currently have Lightroom 1.4. I have an old iMac to 4 year (2.16 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo) running OSX 10.4.11 with 1 GB of ram. Everything works always quickly touch wood (outside LR which can be a bit slow when it comes with a lot of images).

With Photoshop, I always tried to upgrade every other version and intended to do the same thing with LR.

However, in order to upgrade to LR3, I also need to stimulate my memory to 2 GB and update of Leopard or Snow Leopard.

It would become quite an expensive upgrade that I would if I thought it would be worth.

My fear is that loading several intensive programs of memory on an older Apple will eventually just slow down my machine. I tried a few years ago on my first iMac, upgrading to Panther and adding more memory. But it slowed my machine to a crawl.

I wonder if I could be better just by opting for an old copy of the LR2 upgrade and stick with what I have.

I run LR3 on a similar iMac (24 "2.16 Ghz, 3 GB RAM, OS 10.6.3) and he did quite a good job.

I would recommend adding more RAM. I think the max for your machine is 3 GB... It is easy to make and inexpensive... more imaging software like LR and PS will benefit as much RAM as you can offer them... the performance improvement you will receive greatly outweighs the cost. Also consider upgrading the OS to Snow Leopard... This will allow you to run LR3 in 64-bit mode that also can improve performance and responsiveness. In fact, I was very impressed by the performance of PSCS5 in 64-bit mode... While I was very happy with OS X 10.4... There are many improvements "under the hood" 10.6 that make things more smooth. Be that as it may, time, you can save the increase in speed and performance is worth the investment.

    You would be better to use a flashdrive rather than an Ethernet cable. To connect using an Ethernet cable you need a crossover cable and then configure the network cards.

    Is the function of automatic update of Windows found in the use of control panel of your compensation for the use of the Internet from my ISP? If so, how? In addition, how to hide an update, I don't want to? For example, I use (and I'm happy with) Windows Internet Explorer (v7), but receive reminders to update update to Internet Explorer v9, which I don't want.

    Is there a way to prevent Windows Update for sending this reminder in the future?

  • after update of cc, I can't use photoshop cs6 without logging in cc.  Is there a way to get around this?

    after update of cc, I can't use photoshop cs6 without logging in cc.  Is there a way to get around this?

    I do nothing stored on the cloud, all work is local and I do not have to be connected.  It also seems to make Photoshop a LOT slower.

    Hello Christy,

    If it's a standalone Photoshop CS6 (ie you have a serial key) there is no need to connect to the desktop creative cloud application.

    If you have downloaded the 'previous Versions' CS6 creative cloud desktop application so you will need to stay connected on the creative cloud desktop application.

  • Problem updated InDesign CC 2014 if I use tools DPS.

    I'm trying to update InDesign CC 2014 if I use tools DPS. But "updates" are gray. I noticed that CC Office says that indesign is up-to-date. Any suggestions?

    You might try to rename your AdobeUpdateAdminPrefs.dat file. Looks like Adobe CS6 and CC have an automatic update mechanism that can sometimes prevent users to see available updates.

    -Locate the file:

    Mac OS / Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdaterInventory/1.0/AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat
    Windows 7.0 and higher (32-bit) C:\Program Files\Fichiers files\adobe\AAMUpdaterInventory\1.0\AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat
    Windows 7.0 and higher (64-bit) C:\Program files (x 86) \common files\adobe\AAMUpdaterInventory\1.0\AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat

    -Try to rename the file, like AdobeUpdateAdminPrefs - old.dat

    -Restart InDesign

    -See if the update is now available

    Here are some links for reference:

    Disable Auto updates

    Cannot install the DPS for CC tools

  • I used a master password for years. Today, I noticed that it had been authorized. What could cause this?

    I used a master password for years. I also use Sync. Today, I wanted to watch one of my saved passwords. When I went to do this, I noticed that Firefox was no longer is configured to use a master password. I'm afraid I can have been hacked, or that something is is past (recent update Firefox?) which caused the use of the master password will be disabled.

    I have not yet checked my other computers synced to see if their master password has been disabled.

    I have re-enabled the functionality of password on this computer.

    On this particular computer, I had a long-standing issue date where Firefox ' help > about Firefox "still says I need to"restart to update. This means that I can't use "help > about Firefox ' to check and install the latest version. I need to download Firefox manually and update by running the installation program.

    If the files have already been downloaded, then delete the files in the folder updates\0 and updates.

    You can also remove active - update.xml, or even updates.xml (this will clear the update history).

    C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates

  • I have used Firefox for about 8 years and yesterday lost my bookmarks toolbar. Any suggestions? Yet the bookmarks and it still seems in sight.

    I have used Firefox for about 8 years or since first of all, it has been developed and I love it! I especially love the personal bar and he used all these years without any problems. Yesterday, I lost somehow the bookmarks toolbar. It is still listed under view in the Menu. When I check, besides, that area expands a little and when I uncheck the box decreases a little. All my favorites are still there, but not the toolbar. I tried everything I know to try. I uninstalled and downloaded Firefox again and reinstalled. I have restarted my computer several times. I tried dragging the new bookmarks in the toolbar of the address of the site area. Nothing works. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what can be the cause and have a solution? I HATE that, without this toolbar. Thanks in advance!

    If the menu bar is hidden, then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the call of menu bar.

    Make sure the toolbars like the toolbar 'Navigation' and the 'personal bar' are visible: "view > toolbars".

    • Open the Customize via "view > toolbars > customize.
    • Make sure the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" are on the personal bar
    • If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the bookmarks toolbar, then FRY it in the toolbar palette in the window the bookmarks toolbar Customize
    • If the missing elements are in the toolbar palette then drag them from the window, customize the toolbar
    • If you do not see an item on a toolbar in the toolbar palette and then click the button "Restore default" to restore the default toolbar set up
