Cannot import settings from previous version because of "beta participation"

I have just upgraded to v3.6.8 and all bookmarks, add-ins, etc are lost. Message at start-up says "beta participation detected" and my old firefox-3.5 directory is renamed to firefox-3.5.abandoned. I am not aware of ever loading a beta version.

You might want to ask about that in the Ubuntu forums. The version of Firefox 3.6.8 you have is not an official version from Mozilla, it is a modified version from Ubuntu. It has the Ubuntu Firefox Modifications 0.9rc2 extension, which is part of the Ubuntu customizations for Firefox, and it isn't available ala carte, AFAIK - I have looked for it to dissect it to see exactly what those mods are, and can't find it as a separate download.

Import presets from previous version

Having upgraded from CS to CS4 I want to import my preset crops and brushes into the new version. I can't find any advice elsewhere and would appreciate it if someone could please tell me how to do this.
Roger

Thanks again. You prompted me to save my CS presets in Edit>Preset Manager>Save Set. This puts them into folders under C/Program Files/Adobe/Photohop CS/Presets/Brushes [/Tools] from where they can be copied and pasted into the corresponding CS4 folders. Then it is necessary to activate them by double-clicking the set in the Brushes folder [or from the Load Set command in the CS4 Preset Manager in the case of Tools] and, hey presto, they appear under the right tool buttons.
I don't know if I've done it the right way because I had to create Brushes and Tools subfolders in the CS4 Presets folder. My saved brush set does not show up under Load Set in the CS4 Preset Manager but the saved crop tools do, making the procedure different for each. To me that's all very weird but everything seems to be working OK.

Importing project from previous version

I just updated to the latest version of Premiere pro. Now I can't open my most recent project. I click OK. Then an empty project file opens up. When I go to import the previous file into the new project, it imports as an empty folder.
How can my project be converted to the latest version of Premiere Pro?

It did not work. I do not even get the 'Convert project' dialog box anymore.
I am going to finish the project in cc7 but I would still like to figure this out.

How do I import bookmarks from previous version of Firefox (21) - they disappeared when I installed hte latest update to 22.0?

I had "Plain Old Favorites" installed as an extension and it showed all my bookmarks. Now it is blank - won't function - but I did not see any warning that it was not compatible. How do I convert/import these to use as Firefox bookmarks?

Import your bookmarks from IE. <br />
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Importing+bookmarks+and+other+data+from+other+browsers
PlainOld Favorites needs to be fixed for Firefox 22 by the developer of that extension, who had sufficient notice about the changes which were originally slated to be in Firefox 21 - six weeks ago, at least.

Importing Song from previous version and audio hardware

I am having major trouble loading songs created in LP6 or 7 into LP8. Since upgrading I have also gone from using a Digi 001 to an HD System with a 192 interface. All the tracks show the device as Direct I-O, which was the driver for the Digi 001 (which I no longer own!) In LP7 I can change these to Core Audio to use the new Digidesign hardware, I can then hear the audio tracks, but doing this seems to take off any plugins and virtual instruments! I can't even work out how to do this in LP8. Surely there must be a way of converting tracks to my current Core Audio setup without losing all the tracks' settings? Help please!
Gonzo

Is there really no way to do this? I found a tedious workaround by copying the Channel Settings of each track, creating a new track, pasting in the channel settings, renaming, dragging the regions onto the new track, deleting the old one. But that's very boring and lengthy for something which should be able to be changed instantly! I'm glad I went back to using Pro Tools, which handles this kind of thing so much better!

Importing settings from CS6 to CC - missed opportunity?

Setting up new Adobe CC, and too hastily clicked "no" when asked about importing settings from last version. How can I retroactively do this?

Thanks for the tip, Arpit. Unfortunately, following your directions did not yield a promt to reset the preferences. It showed a prompt to delete the PhotoShop settings file. See image below. I still do not know how to import my previous settings/plugins/etc. Any help will be appreciated.

Can I import Events and Projects from previous versions of iMovie

I just installed the latest version of iMovie - but I have a bunch of projects, events, etc. from previous version - going way back. Is there a way to move those items into the new version.

Yes. File - Update Projects and Events. Your iMovie 9 folders will still be available. (I would not delete any iMovie 9 stuff untill you are happy with iMovie 10 - its quite different.)

I cannot recover back up's from previous versions?? Really??

Every time I try to recover back ups from previous versions of iPhoto, it crashes as it doesn't see the image as a jpg file. Any suggestions? These photo's are an invaluable part of my business!!

Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new library. Now insert the disc in the optical drive and try copying photos from the disc library into the new library. If you can then that means you current library is damaged.
If that's the case then make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select options #1, #2 and #6.
Fix #3
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Framemaker templates - differences from previous versions?

When I try to load a template created for a previous version, Framemaker 9 issues a warning message. (These are the templates that Adobe gives away on their website.)
I am curious if I am losing something significant by using a template made for an earlier version of Framemaker. Is there a way to find out what I am missing or what issues I might run into later.
I searched the web and did not find any templates - either free or otherwise, other than what Adobe has put out. Does someone know of sites where I can get some templates?
Thanks for your time, responses.
Cheers; 'best,
shankar

Older templates might not use the newer Section/Sub-Section numbering features, but even so the numbering should work just fine.
Older templates might use slightly different color definitions, so if you eventually combine older version templates and brand new FM9-created files in a book you'll get the "color inconsistencies" warnings, which of course are easily corrected by importing the colors from a brand new document into all the files in the book.
Much older FM templates might not have the PDF Setup settings for bookmarks, tags, links, etc., and again if you combine new-FM and old-FM files you might end up with inconsistencies that will need to be adjusted by importing settings from an FM9 file.

Updated to 12.1.0.71 and cannot import music from a cd or from a folder.

Updated to itunes 12.1.0.71 and now cannot import music from a cd or from a folder. I ran the diagnostics test, and itunes can find the cd, but will not import it. Itunes will play the cd though.
Any suggestions? Is there a bug fix coming?
Thank you.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)
You may want to install QuickTime also. Links in the user tip.

Delayed response of when moving objects in diagram and panel, happend in LV 6, only for vi's compiled from previous versions. any suggestions?

When I using the mouse to select portion of the diagram or the panel, or when I moving objects- I found that in all the vi's that I compiled from former versions of labview- there is a delay of close to a second to the actual selection or movement of the item. This happens in 2 machines out of 5 that I tested it, and it happened both in windows 2000 and in windows 98. any suggestions?

Sometimes a video driver issue. Update your video driver.
Or turn down the video driver hardware acceleration. Right-click an
empty area of the desktop, choose the Settings tab, choose the Advanced
button.
The location of this differs in different versions of Windows.
Win2000: go to Troubleshooting, and turn down the slider for hardware
acceleration.
Win98: I think it's on another tab.
