Hi Edgar,

Mojave caused a lot of issues with Creative Cloud. They fixed some with a patch and broke them with the next patch. Which version do you have?

I am on High Sierra and am waiting until the Mojave issues are settled. I have no problems with Creative Cloud.

Your choices seem to be:

  • Roll back your OSX
  • Use 2018 until Apple fixes this (keep 2019 installed)
  • Try updating to the beta of Mojave 10.14.4
  • Wait until Mojave 10.14.4 is released and hope it works

This is an Apple issue, unfortunately.

This is not Adobe Support it is a User forum. If you do not have time to find where your problems are you better outsource your image processing. You may be be better off using an older version of Mac OS the worked for you.

@JJMack I am a professional user and CC is wreaking havoc on my OS. It is chewing up processing power, as evidenced by my activity monitor. Maybe you should outsource your Adobe sycophancy.

You’re welcome, Edgar. Mojave came out in September, so the hope is that they will get it right with patch #4. I will still wait 2-3 months after I hear there are no issues until I do the update. Let’s hope!!!

Also, I just found some of your posts in the moderation que, so they are showing up after my responses.

Best of luck,

Jane

An 'Apple issue'?  Help me to understand how you reach that conclusion. Apple updates its OS presumably to improve performance and security, not to confound and befuddle major developers.  If Adobe or any other mega-developer cannot keep up, I hardly see how it can throw its virtual hands in the air and declare, "It ain't my problem."  I now routinely zap all Creative Cloud processes in Activity Monitor hoping Adobe will catch up one of these days.

Totally agree. Creative Cloud is a disaster. I have a high spec Mac and CC is monstering it. I don't understand all these people apologising for a software giant. All these contributors are probably Adobe employees.

Hi, an update on all this.  I was moaning about performance on my 'old' 2015 27" iMac with 24Gb or RAM and indeed my new 2020 27" that came bundled with a measly 8 Gb.  I upgraded with OWC chips to 64 Gb, and -- hey presto -- all the gruesome lags seem to have gone away.  Let me test further...

How dare Adobe blame this on Apple?!??!? We've had CC installed on our macs ever since it was first created, across multiple OSXs and it is an absolute disaster. It grinds all of our machines to a halt unless we disable it at startup and then start removing its background apps until it is to all intents and purposes dead. We've moving to Affinity. It works and costs a fraction of the cost of Adobe.

Tim, you responded to a post from 2019 when an update to Mojave was released and Photoshop was version 2019. Are you and your team still using Mojave and Photoshop 2019? macOS is now up to macOS10.14 and future updates fixed the bugs it caused four years ago.

 

Since then three other versions of macOS have been released and another is in beta.

  • Catatlina: macOS 10.15
  • Big Sur: macOS 11
  • Monterey: macOS 12
  • Ventura: macOS 13 (beta)

 

I'll lock this thread since both macOS Mojave and Photoshop 2019 are no longer being supported. If you just wanted to vent about something long-since solved, you've done that. If you are having an actual issue, please start a new thread and we'll be happy to try to assist. Be sure to give details about your versions and issues.
