Eg: Īnd you seem to be mixing your GBs and MBs, or your decimal points. There's an Adobe uninstaller app out there somewhere that might be able to remove some of that. See this thread for an explanation (PC, but same stuff): Some of that is for synching, checking for updates, verifying the license, etc. With Adobe stuff, I agree they spray a lot of stuff all over your Mac. In general is there a way to know which of all those processes are really useful?Ĭontact the software developers to find out if they are 'really useful.' I killed several of them but for many others I have no clue about their purpose. Is there a way to prevent these suckers from launching at start-up? Ditto for several others.
When I launch Bridge later none of those show up again and yet everything works fine. I own Photoshop Elements and Adobe Bridge but even without launching any, I can see in Activity Monitor eleven Adobe's processes hogging 1160 GB of RAM, including:įortunately Activity Monitor allows to quit or force quit them all. I have an issue with the zillions of processes that clog my RAM: there are about 240 of them at all times excluding the softs I launched.
