Best way to Migrate Actions to a new PC

I built a new Win 7 x64 PC for CS5.  I have Photoshop CS6 installed there.
I have about 30 action sets on my CS4 machine that I want to migrate over to the new machine.  Is there a faster way than saving each set to a central location and loading them into CS5?
I did a search for all *.ATN files on the CS4 machine and could not find them stored anywhere.  Is there a folder where they should be stored in CS4?  In lightroom, my develop presets are all stored in one place and I can simply right click and "show in explorer" to see where this is.  It is easy.  But how can I do this for Photoshop?

Thank you.  If I understand this information correctly, then I should save each action set one at a time and that there is no way to save all action sets at once from within Photoshop or otherwise.
I am saving them to a backup disk so that I can easily add them to other PC's later.  But by doing this, any changes that I apply to the actions would not be in my backup folder of actions.  This is not exactly ideal, but there are only a few sets of actions that I update frequently.

  • Best Way To Migrate Local Accounts to new OD Server?

    Hello everybody, I'll keep this simple:
    I've got about 20 macs that have just joined themselves to my shiny new Open Directory (i.e. I bound each machine through the Directory Utility).
    What is the best way to migrate their local accounts to network accounts? Note that almost all of these macs are laptops that will be taken home from time to time. And of course, the less 'interruption' of normalcy, the better.
    Thanks for any suggestions,
    Evan

    I did something similar last year, migrating local accounts to network accounts after binding the machines to AD. I'm not sure how much what I did will differ for your particular case, but maybe this will point you in the right direction. Bear in mind, this sort of laborious, but it works well enough.
    In my particular case, the local accounts were named the same as the network accounts so I had to do some sleight of hand with the home folders to make sure nothing got deleted on accident.
    Log in as root (you could do this with an admin account, but root makes it much easier.)
    Move the local account home folder out of the /Users folder and to the root desktop for safekeeping.
    Go to User Account control panel and delete the user account.
    Log out of root and log back in as the network user.
    Log out of network user and log back in as root.
    Delete the new, default home folder in /Users and move the old one back.
    Use chown -R username /Users/username/ on the command line to give the new network account ownership of the old home folder.

  • Best way to migrate iTunes Windows to new Mac?

    Finally getting back to the Mac for my main computer.
    Been on Windows for a zillion years (it seems) so I have a good setup on my iTunes libary and how it syncs with my iPod Touch and Classic. Many purchases as well.
    What is the best way to migrate from win to mac so that I don't have to klobber settings and album artwork and re-set up my iPods from scratch? Would like to keep podcasts settings, the whole works.
    Any way to do it? The file x-fer is of course trivial...but I could spend a week re-jiggering all my settings for sync and whatnot and I can't afford the time and aggravation.
    Help!

    Have the Apple Store do this for you or call Apple support and they will help you do it.

  • What is the best way to migrate photo library to new Mac ?

    Hi .... I just bought off ebay an Mac Mini 2.53Mhz running Mountain Lion . This was a great and cost effective purchase to upgrade my very tired Mac Mini 1.6 duo running Snow Leopard (still going as a second computer) .
    However , I am not sure best way to transfer over my photos ?
    I have a Time Capsule and I can use migration assistant
    - but when doing this and choosing just photos nothing else , the process creates a new user and is a real mess on the desktop.  Thus I am left with two users on the computer : and I can't access the photos from the 2.53 Mac mini user that I created for the computer , I have to log in to this restored profile.  Annoying !
    - I believe migration assistant linking the two macs through an ethernet cabe will give the same results
    I have now purchased a firewire cable 400 to 800 , so the two macs are now linked . Would this be a cleaner way to transfer photos ? How should I set about it. I don't want to drag over any mess from the old computer ... I just want to get the photos onto the new computer and then link that to time capsule.
    Thanks

    Hey there cosmiconion,
    It sounds like you are needing to copy over a folder containing images from your Snow Leopard computer to your newer Mountain Lion machine. You can do this by enabling File Sharing for that folder or directory, then accessing that from Finder on your newer computer, and this article will help you do that:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Best way to migrate site to a new server

    OK, Server #1 has the old site. I developed a new site and
    used Server #2 to test it. I have gotten the OK to go live with the
    new site which means it will be moved to server #1. What is the
    best way to do this without confusing dreamweaver?
    Edit: I am pretty inexperienced at web design and I am using
    Dreamweaver 8, I know it is old.

    That's because Templates have no relationship to where the
    site is hosted.
    They only affect your local files....

  • Best way to migrate Oracle DB to new hardware.

    Upgrading hardware from Win2003 32 bit to Win2008 R2 64 bit. Staying in the same Oracle DB 10gR2 - possibly just from 10.2.0.2 to 10.2.0.4. Why? Because the higher ups said so.
    Any suggestions best and easiest way to migrate? I was thinking expdp of current schema and impdp in. Any opinions?

    I believe the lowest release and patch set level for Win Server 2008 R2 (which is only 64-bit, by the way) is 10.2.0.5. This is documented!
    Also, why 32-bit and not 64-bit, when on a 64-bit hw/os platform? Or maybe that was not the meaning of "same Oracle DB"? (Note 32-bit client connectivity with 64-bit server is fully possible)
    Any suggestions best and easiest way to migrate? I was thinking expdp of current schema and impdp in. Any opinions?If schema is fairly small (or not so small and enough down time window exists), that sounds like a good way.

  • Easiest/Best way to migrate to a new machine

    I got a new Intel Mac (wooo-whooo!) and I need to move my Lightroom stuff over to the new Mac from my old G5. I had my all image files pointed to by Lightroom as opposed to imported into my Lightroom directory. So what is the best way to get Lightroom on my NEW Mac so it is identical to where I left off with my old one (ie, all my collections in order, keywords, color correction data etc.).
    What is the best course of action? Is it as easy as just copying my lightroom database to the Lightroom folder on my new Mac and pointing to the new image directory? Which should I do first, point to the images or replace the existing database?
    Such migrations have proven far more difficult and error prone with some of my other Apps (iPhoto, iTunes), so before I take on the task, I want to make sure I ma going about it the wrong way so I don't create problems.
    Any ideas, suggestion, warnings and details about how to go about this would be most apprecfated.
    -Nick

    Nick:
    Grab your trusty Firewire cable, connect the two machines and boot the G5 so that it's drive(s) appear on the desktop of the Intel Mac. Now just drag-and-drop all the image folders to the new machine.
    But something tells me you already know about this method.

  • Best way to migrate iTunes and iPod to new hard drive

    Currently, my iTunes Library is referencing music files that sit on my music data drive (E:drive). My Library is actually on another data drive (D: drive), while my OS and apps are on the C: drive. I also have a networked Network Attached Storage (NAS) drive that has a duplicate copy of all of my music files.
    One of the reasons I have the NAS is to have 24/7 access to my music files through a Sonos Zone Player system (highly recommend this) hooked up to my stereo. The Sonos player is able to pickup all of my playlists but because iTunes creates the plalists thinking that all of the songs reside on my E:drive, they are broken links as far as Sonos is concerned.
    So my quesion is, what is the best way to redirect my iTunes Library so that it pulls the songs from the NAS rather than my internal E:drive? Since the NAS is always on, I don't care that when I want to play songs on my computer, it pulls them off of the NAS. In "migrating" the music file links, I'd like to maintain all of my rankings, play counts, and playlists. Is this possible?
    If not, then at a minimum, I'll be swapping out my E:drive for a larger one and need to know the best way to migrate the music files. It would be simple to just take out my current music file drive, swap in the new drive, and copy the files from the NAS drive onto the new drive. Do I need to de-authorize my computer at the start so iTunes doesn't think I'm giving permission to a new computer? Will my play counts, ratings, and playlists still show up? Regarding the latter, I'm guessing yes since the Music Library isn't being touched (on the D: drive).
    Hope this makes sense to someone.
    Thanks in advance,
    Steve

    Well, you'll need to reinstall iTunes and the iPod updater.

    What is the best way to migrate PSE6 Catalog (Wxp) to new computer W7, PSE11?  Previous PSE6 recovery (Wxp) after a failed HD resulted in pictures showing but not opening due to connection issues.  Had to restore pictures from backup and rebuild the catalog and albums.  Found a third party fix afterwards that has no support past PSE8.  Trying to make this migration to PSE11 painless.

    That's a very common and classical situation :
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/backup-restore-move-catalog-photoshop.html
    Just make sure that your backup to the external drive is ok : you should find a 'backup.tly' file in the folder.
    Use the PSE11 organizer to restore from the PSE7 backup : the first step restores all your media files, the second automatically does a catalog conversion to the PSE11 format.
    Read the note in the above link about restoring from XP to ulterior Win OS. You can also restore to a 'custom' location. For instance in a 'C:\My new library' folder. Make sure that master folder is accessible to all users, and if you want, you can move the catalog (database) itself from that location to the default location : catalog manager, option to move catalogs to location accessible to all users.

  • Best way to migrate data

    I'm having a new HD installed and I'm using TM to back up my data to a new HD. What is the best way to migrate the data from my external HD to my new installed HD? thanks

    To use Time Machine you must first boot into OS X which means you have to install OS X from somewhere. A fresh install of Leopard from DVD takes roughly 1-2 hours depending on the speed of your computer and optical drive. Then you have to restore your data with TimeMachine and that will take ????. Obviously that depends on how your TM drive is connected to the computer and how much data there is to transfer.
    A SuperDuper clone is bootable. You connect the drive to your computer and boot into the drive. Was your crash catastrophic and at a horrible time? You are back in business right now - not 2-? hours from now as you would be with TimeMachine. That is the big advantage of SuperDuper.
    TimeMachine will have/has had a huge impact on my backup scheme but I'm still assessing how I'll ultimately use it. What I do know is that I'll continue to clone my computers using SD so that if Murphy strikes I'll be right back in business immediately.

  • Best way to migrate Mailboxes with all permissions Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2010--cross forest

    Hi,
    Due to some Exchange and Active Directory issues (with remnants of old Ex 2003 server), we are going to migrate Exchange 2010 Mailboxes and public folders to a new Exchange 2010 Sp3 server, which is created in a new AD forest.
    I would really appreciate if someone can direct us to the best way to migrate mailboxes and PFs with their permissions, to new Ex 2010 SP3 server. We have around 30 mailboxes, and 300 GB of mailboxes data, and 200 GB of PFdata.
    Thanks in anticipation.
    Regards, David Johnson

    Hello,
    Firstly, you need to creat forest trust between two forests.
    If you want to move AD user account and mailboxes, please use ADMT and PrepareMoveRequest script.
    If you want to migrate public folder, please export data to PST file and then import pst file to new server. 
    Additional article for your reference.
