Macbook Air M1 isssues

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about the trouble you are facing. I would like to know if the steps suggested above by @davecourtemanche worked for you? If not, I would request you to share a few more details like:

• the exact version of macOS & InDesign
• Is the issue related to a specific document? If yes, could you please share the document with us? You can upload it to the Creative Cloud (https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/share.html) and share the download link.
• Where are the files and links saved (Network Drive/ System HDD/ Shared Folder on System/ External HDD)?
• Are there any recent changes made to your system? For example, any antivirus, system updates, plugins, or web extensions installed recently.
• Please check if turning off the internet help resolve the issue?
• Are you using TimeMachine? If yes, please check if turning it off/ disabling it help resolve the issue?

The troubleshooting suggested by @davecourtemanche are as follows with steps: 

• Turn off preflight  (Window > Output > Preflight > Deselect the checkbox) help resolve the issue?
       
• Try different Display options (View > Display Performance) in InDesign. I recommended working on Typical Display.
• Try turning off GPU performance from InDesign preferences (cmd + k > GPU Performance > uncheck GPU Performance and see if that helps.

We will be looking forward to your response.

Thanks & Regards,

Anshul Saini

I'm not on an M1, but wondering if you've gone through all the trouble-shooting steps that are usually listed for performance issues:

Using the latest version? I believe it addressed some of the M1 issues.

Turned off GPU performance?

Turned off preflight?

Play around with display settings? (typical, etc.)

Those have helped on a non-M1 when I've encountered performance issues.
