Best way to install Custom Effect into PresetEffects.xml on Mac?

Hi!
Can you advise me please the best and "proper" way to install (inject) my part of xml on Mac OS please?
In the best occasion - by Apple Script.
At this moment I made C++ based .exe installer, who reading the AE placement from Windows' registry and injecting a part of .xml text inside of PresetEffects.xml in folder .../Adobe After Effects CC/Support Files/
I would do similar in Mac now...
Thank you in advance!

When I say that a feature is "not supported", I mean that neither I nor any other Adobe person should be assisting you in doing this. Modifying the preset effects XML file is not something that users are supposed to do. It is untested, unsupported, undocumented, and not recommended.

I just bought a new PC and now have ample space on my C drive to house my music Library which is currenlty installed on a external drive. What is the best way to install and move the itunes library to my C Drive?

If the entire library is on the external drive then simply copy the iTunes folder into <User's Music> on the new computer, then install iTunes. If you've already installed iTunes you will want to remove the empty iTunes folder in <User's Music> first.
If it turns out you only have the media folder on the external drive then take a look at this post...

What is the best way to turn line art into a 3D image in Illustrator? Thanks for your help.

What is the best way to turn line art into a 3D image in Illustrator? Thanks for your help.

What version of Illustrator? What do you mean by "Line Art"? What do you mean by "3d image"? Post images showing your starting artwork and an example of what you are trying to achieve.
If you have Illustrator 12 or higher you can extrude or lathe a simple group or path using Effects > 3D > [Pick one]. You must start with vector data, not a placed raster image. You are very limited in what you can do, and you cannot model multiple objects within one 3D world. Each object you extrude/revolve/rotate is its own world, with its own perspective and camera. You can also make any art into a Symbol, then map that symbol onto any 3D surface you create. The results are, at best, acceptable, and often total garbage.

Best Way To merge Customer Records

Hi community,
What is the best way to merge customer records for the same operson but may have used different email ids to correspond with BC Website

Not in BC no. You would need to export a custom report, sort that in excel and then form that into the customer import it back in or create some API that goes through and cleans that up.

Best way to Install after installing new HD

Today I am installing a New WD 500GB Hard drive in my 2.16 core duo Macbook pro. I am trying to find the best way of installing osX. I have a Time Machine drive with back ups on it, but os X has ben acting kind of funny the past few days but i think it jest might be the HD witch is one of the reasons why i am getting the new one. Any input would be grate.

Wouldn't using the installtion disks work?
Or you could make a 10GB partition on the TM drive in Disk Utility, then clone over OS X Disk 1 to that partition and install from there. Unnecessary for this installation, but will make future reinstallations significantly faster and allow you to get a lean system whenever you want.
Then transfer the material what you want from TM onto the new install by Browsing other TM disks.
If you think there's a risk that TM has picked up any odd behaviour from the old disk, then I'd format TM after you've transferred what you need. Partition the TM drive into three partitions (if there's space): TM, system clone (using SuperDuper), and OS X disk. You could also add a fourth partition for a cleanly installed system with applications which makes reinstallations a breeze in the future.
Just some thoughts.

I have a 15' Macbook Pro, mid 2010 running Mavericks. I want to upgrade the hardware by increasing the RAM to 8GB and replacing the HD for a SDD one. What would be the best way to install mavericks on the new HD? I have the original OS X CD.

I have a 15' Macbook Pro, mid 2010 running Mavericks. I want to upgrade the hardware by increasing the RAM to 8GB and replacing the HD for a SDD one. What would be the best way to install mavericks on the new HD? I have the original OS X CD.
From what I read, I have 2 choices: 1. to install OSX and then upgrade to Mavericks, but I'm not sure if this would be possible (to upgrade directly from OSX to Mavericks); and 2. to use a software called Super Duper.
I wouldn't like to have to use a third party software to do this, so the question is: is there a better way to install directly the Mavericks not having to use a third party software?

Install the new drive in the computer.
Install the old drive in an external USB or Firewire enclosure.
Boot the computer from the Recovery HD on the external drive.
Use Disk Utility to partition and format the new internal drive.
Clone your external drive to the internal drive.
How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive. Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure. You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
Step Three: Boot from the Recovery HD on the external drive. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the Recovery HD then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the
      mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of
      the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive
      is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the
      Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from
      the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended
      (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to
      GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and
      wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the
      drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main
      window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the
      Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to
      return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several
      hours depending upon the drive size.
Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
1. Using Disk Utility still opened.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
      Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
      Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume. Click on the Restart button. You should boot from the new drive. Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.

Best Way to Install CS6 Design/Web Premium Upgrade

Hi,
CS6 Design/Web Premium Windows Upgrade (for CS5.5 Design Premium) is shipped and on its way for 5/10/12 delivery. Reading on these boards about CS6 installation problems (plus the installation difficulties for CS5 upgrade from CS4), prompt me to ask:
What is the best way to install the CS6 upgrade?
Is there a CS6 clean tool available?
I would ordinarily first deactivate and uninstall CS5.5 Design Premium.
Is this the best way to proceed?
Regards,

If you do not want to keep a CS5.5 concurrent installation , this is the best way in my opinion.
The CS5.5 uninstallers do not remove everything of CS5.5 however. There will be e.g. left overs in the Help titles of the CS6 Help Manager. There is a cleaner tool: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
Cheers,
Dave

Best way to install boot camp

Hello, i got a MBP recently, and i would like to put boot camp on it, mostly so that i can play a online game (magic online) which is windows only, but isnt stressing on the video card, (just cards, nothing fast and flashy, so i would expect to be able to run it smoothly)
What is the best way to go about this? Am i able to get an external harddrive/ big flash drive to put windows on and then only have it on here when i need it, i dont really want to partition my internal drive, as it seems like that always leads to problems later on...
I guess what im asking, is you the people who use boot camp, what is the best/easiest/most reliable means of installation and use for boot camp. And where is the best to place to buy a windows cd for the installation (xp)
Thanks!

Hi,
Microsoft has gone to great lenghts hindering the user to install Windows onto external devices.
Googling through the net brings up some instructions on how-to do this nonetheless, but it is quite an effort.
Best way to install WIndows on your Mac for playing games would be the useage of BootCamp and by following the BootCamp Installation Guide to be found here http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ or inside the BootCamp Assistant in OSX (in the Applications/Utilities folder).

What is the easiest and best way to install or open flash drive in Sarfari on my Macbook Pro...2010 model using mountain lion

what is the easiest and best way to install or open flash drive in Sarfari on my 2010 macbook pro using mountain lion?

There is no really good way to do what you want. Any tracks you purchase via your own iTunes Store account are for your personal use, tied to your iTunes Store account, and can't be given to anyone else. If you don't want to gift the tracks to her and can't access her iTunes Store account, the only option other than creating her a completely new iTunes Store account (which will require a new email address for her) is to buy the CDs those tracks are on.

What is the best way to install an Airport to a G5?

Hi. My G5 came without a built in Airport card. I've recently bought an Airport Extreme. What is the best way to install an Airport to a G5? Should I buy the Airport card from ebay or some other retailer & do the installation myself OR should I buy it & get somebody professional to install it?

Hello ajdoyle78. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The April 2005 and earlier Power Mac G5s are compatible with the AirPort Extreme card. The later Power Mac G5s (models: M9590LL/A, M9591LL/A, M9592LL/A) are not. Instead, these models require a special combo AirPort/Bluetooth card which must be installed by an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP).

What is the best way to install qmail?

I'm about to rebuild my server and want qmail on it. What is the best way to install it?
In the past I've used http://qmailrocks.com/ but I've also looked at http://lifewithqmail.com/.
The problem I found with qmailrocks was that because it doesn't come from packages I have to remember to keep it up-to-date and I rarely remember.
There is the package in AUR, can anyone comment on the stability of it and how easy it is to get running after it has been installed?

What is the best way to install client for all computer
thank u

You basically have 3 options, if you disregard a manual install.
1. Client Push. Configure an account with local admin rights on the clients, and enable Site-Wide pushing of client.
2. GPO. Import the GPO templates and enable the client to be installed that way
3. Startup script.
Of the 3, I usually go with a combination of client push and GPO.
Take a look at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712298.aspx for the complete documentation.
