Can you move Bridge's keywords from one computer to another?

I posted this question once before without getting an answer, but let me take another stab at it...
I realized I made not have made it clear that its not the keywords assigned to images that I am trying to move or copy, those are written to the metadata and travel with the images. Very cool.
My problem is 2 copies of Bridge, one on a laptop in the field and one at the desktop. If you et up an organized list of keyword sets and their keywords on one computer how do you get that system to the other computer? This is a large Achilles' heel for Bridge and I am trying to find a way to fix it.

Where are Bridge's keywords stored?

Beverly,
As a cautionary note, I absolutely and utterly detest and despise iPhoto.
Having gotten that out of the way, in Bridge you don't have to deal with libraries or albums, and you don't need to
"import" anything. If the Finder can see it, so can Bridge--in the same place.
You can use either the Finder
or
Bridge to move and organize your files any way you want, and the files will be visible to both applications.
iPhoto hides your imported photos in packages the Finder and other applications can't access. Neither can iPhoto see or find photos you haven't "imported" into its libraries.
Bridge can see, browse and hand to other applications all kinds of files, not just photos, like PDFs, Illustrator file, MS Word files, text clippings, picture clippings, whatever.
Read the manual, the help files, the video tutorials accessible through Bridge home on your machine, etc. You can also google
Adobe Bridge Tutorials.

  • Can you move iTunes music/playlist from one computer to another?

    I have 2 computers. My original computer is a desktop that I originally put iTunes on. It's an emachine with windows XP. Currently it is not hooked up to the internet because we have wireless in the house. I am currently using an Acer laptop so I can access the internet. I just bought an iPod and was going to sync my music from the other computer but my iTunes is not a 9 or greater so I can't sync it. So is there anyway to move the iTunes from one computer to the other? Or what would be the best way to sync the music I have.

    I have the same problem as DarkHorse08. I am in the course of moving to a new computer and I have lots of files on my old computer. Both use Windows XP Professional. I want to transfer all my I tunes files to the new computer prior to abandoning the old one. The obvious way to me would be to save a copy of the Library to an external backup drive and then import the files to the new computer. However the program will not allow you to do this - you can only copy to a cd/dvd drive and there is no command to allow you to substitute an external drive such as a backup disk. If you use instead the command Library - Export you can export to a named destination drive such as an external drive but all that is transferred is an XML document file called Library which only has in my own case 2.5mb of data - less than the Library contents.
    Apple's suggested route of Sharing is based on setting up a local network - not a serious proposition for most users.
    All in all very unsatisfactory.
    Unless I am missing something or have got something wrong....
    Suggestions welcome.

  • Can I move my itunes collection from one computer to another?

    Can I move an internal hard drive which has my itunes library (music transferred from my cd collection as well as music purchased from itunes) from one computer to another?  The second computer already has itunes on it but no sopied music from cd's.

    Yes, you can move the hard drive physically from one machine to another provided you are placing it as a secondary drive in the new machine. You can connect to the transferred library by holding down shift as you start iTunes, then browsing to the relevant folder and opening the iTunes Library.itl file inside. You may however want to reorgnize the drive if you're disposing of the old machine as its system files etc. will be redunant. In this case I suggest you move the iTunes folder to the root of the drive before you connect to the library. You should also deauthorise the old machine before you dismantle it.
    Ideally you should take a backup of your library before you start just in case something goes wrong. See this User Tip.for a suggested technique. Works with external drive or network shares.

  • Can you copy Modern-app settings from one computer to another?

    Has anyone tried copying settings of Modern apps from one computer to another?
    Example: let's say that I wanted to copy the settings from the Photos app on one computer to a thousand other computers.  Would this work?  Are settings for Modern apps in a format that can be easily copied?

    You do not want to move Adobe applications between machines.  Download and install the application.

  • Can i move iWeb site control from one computer to another?

    We hired someone to create a website for our company. He created it using iWeb on his computer and now is no longer with the company. How can I move the control of this website to the iWeb application on my computer so that I can manage the site?

    Yes.  All you need to do is copy the Domain.sites file that's located in the your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on his Mac to the same folder on your Mac.
    Also be sure to keep an ongoing backup copy of that file on a volume other than your Mac, i.e. an external HD, a flash drive, etc.  You lose it and you'll have to rebuild the site from scratch.

  • HT1473 How can I move my iTunes software from one computer to another?

    I purchased a new PC.  I tried copying my iTunes software to the new computer, but it wouldn't open.  So I downloaded a new copy of iTunes to the new computer.  When I tried to sync my iPhone to the new iTunes, it wouldn't allow me to put the music on my iPhone into the iTunes library because my new PC wasn't "Authorized".
    How to I move the iTunes software from my old PC to the new PC so I won't have this sync problem?

    See this migrate iTunes library post for moving your library across.
    You don't generally copy installed programs, but rather use their installers on each machine.
    You can authorize the new computer from the Store menu. The menu bar is initially hidden but can be revealed with CTRL+B.

  • Can you transfer all your content from one computer to another?

    We have a slower computer and a faster one and all our music and apps are on the slower one.  Is there any way to transfer all our stuff from one to the other?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

    How can I move someone's hair from one photo to another and place it on another person? I have gone through every instructional video you have and have not been able to master this

    Open picture B, the one you wish to select the hair from to add to the picture.
    Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the hair. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
    Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the hair to the clipboard
    Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
    Use the move tool to position the hair from picture B.
    In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and the hair (B) on a separate layer.

  • How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process?

    How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process? The source Macbook (OS 10.4.11 and iPhoto 6.0.6 (3.2.2.)) is with my husband in Germany, the target MacBook Pro (OS 10.8.5, iPhoto 11) is with me in Japan. Thanks for your help.

    I copied the iPhoto Library to a CD and from there to the new MacBook
    If you copied the library to the CD via the Finder it would be no different than the methods Terence suggested.  If you used the Share ➙ Burn menu option from inside iDVD you'll get a mini library that has to be accessed from the open library and the events/alubums copied into the destination library.  Not the same as the other methods.
    The Share ➙ Burn method is no longer supported with iPhoto 9 and later.
