Applications :: Adobe InDesign CS4 Slow On G5s But Not Intel Machines
Oct 23, 2009
Ever since our design studio upgraded to InDesign CS4, some of our machines are now VERY slow to open documents (it takes documents approx. 7�13 times longer to open). Also, just using InDesign seems much slower than CS3 (like dragging things, typing, etc.).
The funny thing is this problem only seems to affect our designers who have PowerPC G5 Macs � not the ones with Intel Macs. I realise CS4 will be optimised for Intel machines, but surely it shouldn't be this much slower on G5s?

if there was another program available for mac that preformed a similar function to that of Adobe Indesign CS3? I have heard of a program called Swift Publisher, but that does not seem to suit my needs fully. Pages also seems to be a tad too simple for what I intend it to be. So, to restate, is there a program which performs a similar function to that of Adobe Indesign?

I need to make same technical documents but I'd like to create a good layout for them, not a simple "blank and white" document so I'm looking for an application let us say between Ms Word and Adobe InDesign. Can anyone suggest me an application? I have tried Swift Publisher but it misses some basic features such a spell checker.

Adobe InDesign CS6 appears to be crashing with the simplest of tasks many for many of us with new MacBook Pros. Hope Apple/Adobe work swiftly to get this fixed! These machine and this software is far too expensive for this kind of kink.

I use Adobe CS4 regularly. I could print fine from all apps in CS4 until yesterday when I tried to print from InDesign CS4 and the app crashed. All other apps in CS4 print fine, as do all other apps. I've attempted to create a new print preset and also tried to edit the printer default, but InDesign crashes every time.
The only things I've done differently (or new) was to test a new antivirus app (Anti-Virus Software for Mac Protection | Kaspersky Lab United States) and also to download and try out the new Firefox 11. I also created a couple of pdf files in InDesign (as I've done dozens of times with no problems).

My mac with the full version is in the shop and I need to do some work on a project done in InDesign CS3 on another Mac. I'm not having any luck finding a trial version of it anywhere.

My version of InDesign CS4, will always crash after sleeping, especially when I have files open from a server volume. I've turned off the sleep hard disks when possible option in sys prefs.
Here is the interesting part of the crash log:
0 PublicLib.dylib 0x010eaf97
ProtectiveShutdown::~ProtectiveShutdown() + 279
1 DataBaseLib.dylib 0x0106deda
SUIDS::HandleLostNetConnect(IDFile const&) + 122
This never used to happen before when leaving files open from a server volume and sleeping.

Is there a way in Indesign to have a gradient fade to 0%? I can't figure out how to do it. I could do it in Photoshop i guess, but there should be a way to do it.

Does anyone have any idea what might be going on in the attached image below? This is how a PDF file exported from InDesign is printing. It is not displaying like this at all on the screen. The frame around the photo is an EPS file layered on top of the photo. It views fine, and prints fine except for 2 photos.
All the photos print fine, except for 2 of them which have these odd triangles on them. The image is a scan of the printed file. Again, it does not appear when I view the PDF on screen, only when it's printed. If I remove the border/EPS, it will print fine. But I'd like to use the border, so I'd like to know what the problem is.

I´m pleases with my Imac 21.5" Sandy Bridge I5 processor med 14 gb ram. I dont use Time Capsule (Have considered it) but instead i bought 2 Eks HD a´500GB. The one of them was connected to Time Machine and there has been no trouble what so ever. With that one. My idea to use the other manual for my pictures. Then i could easily control my pics and allso find pics for frinds etc and easy copy them. But i made a mistake when the HD i´ve been using for time machine was running out of space. I was´nent aware that it just would begin to overwrite so i still had the latest. So instead i took the other and connected that as a time machine. But now i have 2 time machines. I have tried everything i have ekspertise to but every time i plugg it in the imac regognize it as time machine. I allso have windows installed as a parallel desktop wich function perfectly. From there i have tried to format the HD, and the same i´ve triedfrom a laptop but non of it is helping.

Has anybody found out if the iWork '08 (or earlier comparable) EULA allows one user to install iWork on two Macs, if s/he's the only user of those (like Adobe and others allow to a certain degree: One desktop and one laptop where the license holder are the main user on both).
iWork '08 is sold as a single user license, so I could just assume that I'm allowed, and get one for the (no-yet-bought) work machine and also install it on my home machine, but I'm actually a bit curious if it would be in violation of the EULA...
Now, I know there's a family pack, but that specifically states that "This license does not extend [...] to business or commercial users." And I'm definitively gonna use the work machine for business purposes and I would never get iWork for just private use, which leaves me with the single user license.

is it possible to network 2x virtual machines (on the same box; a Mac Pro) using any of the available VM suites out there (vmware or parallels, etc)? I'm developing/QAing client/server apps, and it would suck if i have to purchase more machines when I have 8x cores and 16GB of RAM available at my disposal on my MP.

Is there a way to 'bulk' add new words to the InDesign dictionary? I do a lot of menus and a lot of the food terms come up as spelling mistakes.
I was wondering if there was a quicker way to customize the dictionary than telling the spell check to learn the words as I go. EG add one huge text file to the dictionary with all the words or something.

recently my Mac is really slow, slow on startup(took around 1-2hours), and slow on task(more than 5 minutes delayed time on every single task), I don't know what happened to it,
My Mac specs: Â
1.Mid-2010 27 inch iMac,
2.Original 4g Ram upgraded to 12g
3.1TB HD has got more than 400gb free space.
4.i3 processor
5.Using latest Lion(I think it's 10.7.3)Â
Problems: Â
1.Startup tooooooooo slow, take more than 1 hour
2.Extreamly slow on tasks. Without any apps opened, every single click, it turned into the 'colorful fan', for instance, open finder, it took more than five mins, and it's not only the finder, it's EVERYTHING!!!!Â
What I have done so far:Â
1.I have reduced the login items
2.I have changed the password login to the automatic login
3.I have tried verify disk permission, verify disk, repair disk permission and repair disk
4.Unplug all unnecessary items(monitor, external drive etc.)
5.Run couple of time of 'clean my Mac', get rid of all the trash.
6.Cleaned the cacheÂ
Due to the ridiculous, frustrating startup, that's all I could do, however, none of them worked.
Now I am using recovery HD to reinstall Lion from a disc, but I don't know if it'll work or not.Â
I don't have another Mac, I don't have backups(don't want to lose my data),that's my situation.

I own a G5 desktop (2004) running CS3 and MacBook Pro (2006) 15.6" 2.16 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. I want to upgrade my CS3 to CS5 but can't on my G5 since it is PowerPC, so I want to try it on my Intel based MacBook Pro instead. I can upgrade the memory to 3GB, but wanted to know from other users out there if Adobe CS5 will be super slow or could even work ok with my laptop? I'm trying to save a little money and time before purchasing a new intel desktop.
