Does it also work slowly if you hide all the panels with the “TAB” key? Please try that. My speed issues are related to this and I would like to know if this workaround speeds up your situation as well. Thanks René ... View more

Dear Photoshop team, just today again wonderful features were added to PS but I always wondered why a Glyphs Panel has not found its way into PS so far. As working with type is as essential as working with images in Photoshop this feature is badly needed. The workaround via Illustrator is just not what a fluid workflow should be like. And I think this would make a lot of people – including myself – really happy. Thank you! ... View more

Hi all, I just wanted to let you know that I upgraded to Mac OS X Mavericks and after taking care that all apps on my machine are up to date and ready for it I have to say I encountered no problems so far. It was a very smooth transition. BUT: Upgrading the operating system however did not have any impact on the performance of InDesign CC. The behaviours I stated in my ealier post are all the same. So I still keep using CS6 which runs pretty well. MacBook Pro 6,1 | Intel Core i7 | 2,67 GHz | 8 GB RAM DDR3 1067MHz | NVIDIA GeForce GT 330 M 512 MB VRAM | Mac OS 10.9 | InDesign CC 9.1 ...

Dear Bob, I am working with two monitors but no change in CC behaviour whatever I did. I also used the MacBook Pro alone and unplugged the second monitor (which acts as my main screen) no difference. CC has the same issues. The problem is that CC has been rewritten from the ground up so the error can unfortunately be hidden anywhere … MacBook Pro 6,1 | Intel Core i7 | 2,67 GHz | 8 GB RAM DDR3 1067MHz | NVIDIA GeForce GT 330 M 512 MB VRAM | Mac OS 10.8.5 | InDesign CC 9.1 ...

Hi, I only own a MacBook Pro but I have seen the performance issues on a Mac Pro as well. This is really weird and must give Adobe engineers/programmers a hard time to figure out. If it was a general issue probably this would have been already solved but it seems to be “random” problem in terms of on which systems it happens. Hopefully Adobe will come up with a solution to this. For me ID CS6 still does a great job until this is being resolved. Is there anything else users with the issues can provide besides their InDesign files? ... View more

Hi, in my case the 9.1 update helped to boost performance a little bit but still CC is slower in many aspects than CS6.

I am using the latest version of Linotype Font Explorer Pro for Mac OS. There are no Plug-Ins installed for different apps like InDesign or Illustrator for auto activation. I also had this set-up with InDesign CS6 on this machine but had no problems at all. All other CC apps on my system are running perfectly stable and fast. The only problems come witn InDesign CC. Again the symptoms I am experiencing are more or less the same issues other people are dealing with: sluggish behaviour on moving stuff around, scrolling, filling text frames. The performance slowdown gets noticeable most when drawing a path with the pen tool. I can watch it come into being after clicking in very quick succesion. Somehow the performance loss is linked to opening panels. The worst hit on performance (in my case) occurs when the info panel is open. The update to CC version 9.1 already brought perfomance gains in my case but compared to CS6 it is still slower in its responsiveness. Opening and quitting InDesign CC is quicker than opening/quitting CS6 as well as creating a new document in CC is way faster (that are the only areas I felt an improvement due to the 64-Bit-support). Specs: MacBook Pro 6,1 | Intel Core i7 | 2,67 GHz | 8 GB RAM DDR3 1067MHz | NVIDIA GeForce GT 330 M 512 MB VRAM | Mac OS 10.8.4 | InDesign CC 9.1 | InDesign CS6 8.0.1 ... View more

Today I installed the latest version of InDesign CC (German) at a client’s office and the machine is running Mac OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard (clean install) on a MacPro (2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon | 8 BG RAM). The performance issues are also experienced on this machine. Sluggish and delayed response of almost all actions. Also on this machine InDesign CS6 (German) is much faster. No font utility software is installed. ... View more

As Adobe and Apple are working together (I guess) to get things running smoothly, was there any communication between the two companies about this issue? Why is there no official statement about it. I am the first to backup everything and install my machine from the ground up if this is 100 % sure to be the source of the problem – but again why do windows users (see post #126) have the same problems? ...

Wheter ugrade or clean installation – all other Adobe CC applications run perfectly on my system. And why did the recent InDesign CC update show slight performance gains in my case? The fixes have obviously been made inside of InDesign. I upgraded to Moutain Lion (10.8) from Snow Leopard (10.6) and every single piece of software on my machine works as it did before. Besides that the problem also exists on Windows machines. ... View more

I also ran the update today and, yes the performance is better than before but as stated by TAHeyOne also on my machine the speed is not as I expect it to be. InDesign CS6 is still performing noticeably faster than CC. The drawing speed of a path for instance is still connected to having the info panel open or not – when open it is drawn slower. In general there is still a lag. In InDesign CS6 the moment I click the point is created, in CC that is not the case. But I also want to thank you for working on this problem and releasing the update. Hopefully, with future updates this issue will be completely resolved.

Hi werbewusel, I know. The best performance is achieved with all panels hidden (closed), but that obviously is not a solution I want to work with. Even if you hide all panels the performance is still weaker than in CS6. Thanks for the information. I am curious how and when this matter will be resolved. As long as there is no fix for this I stick to CS6. ... View more

Hi Jon, can you please try the things which make my InDesign so slow? Just draw a shape with lots of points with the pen tool and do this with the information panel open and closed.

Yes, David and Bob thank you for your tips. But I think there is more to it, too. The only thing in which InDesign CC is faster is to set up a new document and to quit.
