Imac Fusion Drive, Adobe, Help!
At the end of March I bought a 27 inch iMac with 16 GB of memory, 3.4GHz
Intel Core i7 processor. It has a 3 TB fusion drive. I am running Mountain Lion (10.8.4) Since I bought this machine there have been occasions (about every 10 days to 2 weeks) when the clock stops. To restart it, I have to reboot. More seriously, on several occasions I have had the system freeze and I have had difficulty getting the system to quit. It takes several tries and several methods. Last time it happened, I got a dialogue stating that the startup drive was full and which open programs did I want to close. All that was open was a game of solitaire, my Mail account and the Finder. After I finally got it shut down it wouldn't reboot. After waiting about 1/2 hour I tried again. No luck. So, when all else fails I pulled the plug and the machine spontaneously rebooted on its own. We took the machine into the Apple store as it is still under warranty and had a complete diagnostic done. After two days of testing the answer my technician and I got is that it is a Adobe glitch and that Adobe knows that a patch is required. They claim the problem is between the fusion drive and Creative Suite. After you have used one of the programs the startup drive doesn't clear. They claim Adobe is working on it, but I guess unless one signs up for the monthly rental those of using CS5 or 6 will be out of luck and will just have be prepared to keep rebooting or whatever it takes. Has anyone else encountered this problem. Apples says it is the fusion drive that does not react properly with Adobe's program. I would be interested to hear if anyone else is pulling their hair over this. It would be great if Adobe was forced to make the patch available to CS5 and 6. -- Martha --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |

This is one reason, I wrote here. My technician and I preparing a presentation. I thought you might be able to add some information. I got Apple's edited diagnostic. For some reason they won't give all of it to us. I'm glad I misinterpreted Adobe's support. I didn't like the idea that they were forcing us to go on the cloud. -- Martha --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |

Jeep in mind that in the eyes of some people, Apple can do nothing wrong. Having said that, and since you are business dependent, I would verify with Adobe that it is indeed their issue. There may also be a conflict with another program on your machine. If Adobe wants to charge for the call, pay them the money, and argue later, if it is indeed an Adobe issue. Good luck. -- PeterN |

'jeep' ? anyway, if that's supposed to be a subtle jab at me, you're mistaken, as usual. apple does a lot of stuff wrong. as i posted already, i don't think it's adobe's bug and the more i think about, it's the mac. Having said that, and since you are business dependent, I would verify with Adobe that it is indeed their issue. i suggested that. There may also be a conflict with another program on your machine. what she is describing is happening at a much lower level, and apps run in their own user space anyway so they can't conflict with each other, nor can they cause the symptoms she's describing unless there's a kernel extension, which there is not with creative suite. in other words, you're talking out your ass. If Adobe wants to charge for the call, pay them the money, and argue later, if it is indeed an Adobe issue. don't pay them a cent. all that's needed is a confirmation that it's a known issue and they're working on it or that apple was bull****ting. my guess is the latter. |

File a bug with Apple. More seriously, on several occasions I have had the system freeze and I have had difficulty getting the system to quit. File another bug with Apple. Your computer seems to have a bad problem! With Windows I'd say 'virus?'. It takes several tries and several methods. Last time it happened, I got a dialogue stating that the startup drive was full Check how full each and every partition is. Find out which one is our startup partition. Find out why it is full. (Where is your swap? Where is your tempdir?) and which open programs did I want to close. All that was open was a game of solitaire, my Mail account and the Finder. After I finally got it shut down it wouldn't reboot. After waiting about 1/2 hour I tried again. No luck. So, when all else fails I pulled the plug and the machine spontaneously rebooted on its own.

They claim the problem is between the fusion drive and Creative Suite. After you have used one of the programs the startup drive doesn't clear. File a bug with both Apple annd Adobe. They claim Adobe is working on it, but I guess unless one signs up for the monthly rental those of using CS5 or 6 will be out of luck and will just have be prepared to keep rebooting or whatever it takes. Has anyone else encountered this problem. Apples says it is the fusion drive that does not react properly with Adobe's program. UNLESS Adobe monkeys around with the drive --- which would mean it has root rights or Apple's OS is buggy --- it's an Apple fault in my eyes: using a HDD as a HDD, saving files, storing data, ... that MUST not depend on the technology of a functioning HDD (or SSD, for that matter). -Wolfgang |

I never mentioned our name, don't think you're that important. Besides, I have never been bashful, since I was eighteen. Muttering something about protesting too much. as i posted already, i don't think it's adobe's bug and the more i think about, it's the mac.

Since you deny software conflicts, read this, which I ran into, and wrote about several days ago. http://support.dxo.com/entries/23411333-image-processing-does-not-start If Adobe wants to charge for the call, pay them the money, and argue later, if it is indeed an Adobe issue. don't pay them a cent. It's obvious you know nothing about business. It's far more important for the OP to solve the issue, than to stand on principle. all that's needed is a confirmation that it's a known issue and they're working on it or that apple was bull****ting. my guess is the latter. What is needed is for the OP to make her presentation. -- PeterN |
