How to migrate projects from CS3 to CS4? (Version Cue)

First of all, I tried to follow the steps here by 'Markus_Jasker' http://forums.adobe.com/thread/313661?tstart=30.
We are primarily a windows shop, with a small group of Mac artists. We have an Xserve with Version Cue 3.
All the artists use CS3. One of the artists upgraded to CS4. The user primarily cares about his InDesign files.
We were unsure whether the CS3 people could see the Version Cue 4 server on the Xserve, so we grabbed an extra
G5 lying around (Mac OS X Version 10.4.11) and installed Version Cue 4 on it.
Even though I turned off both VC Servers, and copied the 'com.adobe.versioncue.migration_3.1.2' folder from Version Cue 4
to Version Cue 3 and restarted both servers, I still get the message "unable to connect to Version Cue CS3 Server etc etc."
The Xserve is on 10.5.1.x and the G5 is 10.5.2.x with a 255.255.252.0 mask.
I am primarily a windows admin, so I need some help!

Hi,
It has been a while since I have had access to sun one studio 5. If I remember correctly, it was based on Netbeans 3.5.1. It turns out the Sun Java Studio Enterprise 7 release was based on Netbeans 3.6. Both of these Netbeans versions used mounted filesystems rather than the new project system. There is a migration guide from JSE 7 to JSE 8 available:
http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jsenterprise/reference/techart/jse8/intro_migration_jse8.html
I think this migration guide will apply to your situation as well.
Let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
George

Upgraded to CS4, missing Version Cue

I've seen others posing similar questions, but none seem to get answered. My office has been working off of CS3 for quite a while and Version Cue has been our primary asset management system. We have one VC server and not had problems with it.
A few days ago, a few of the PCs were upgraded and are using CS4 apps, including my workstation. Version Cue is mysteriously missing from all my apps. Bridge, Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, all of em with the CS4 designation. I've still got the CS3 suite installed and can hit VC with them, but it's frustrating to have to go back to the old apps. What was the point in upgrading?
Anyone one hit this wall and solved it? At this point I'm reticent to try an update on the VC server because not everyone in the office is being updated and I don't want to chance a lock out to those users.

There's a lot going on it that thread. None of it was really helpful. For example, my common files/adobe veriosn cue cs4/client/4.0.0 folder is empty. only the 4.0.1 has files in it.
Version cue just plain isn't in the tools menu of bridge or in the favorites bar.

Bridge CS4 ohne Version Cue Favorit

Hallo,
ich habe vor kurzem unsere Creative Suites auf die aktuelle CS4 upgedatet.
Nun vermisse ich in der CS4 Bridge den Favoriten Link auf die Version Cue Server. Auch unter den Voreinstellungen ist die Aktivierung nicht möglich.
Bei Bridge CS3 konnte ich noch direkt über die Favoriten die Version Cue Server anbinden, steuern und auch hier Dateien ein- und auschecken und auch den aktuellen Dateistatus mit Version etc. sehen.
Nun gibt es ja Adobe Drive und ich habe lediglich ein Netzlaufwerk. hier sehe ich aber nicht de aktuellen Status der Dateien, also ob gesperrt, ein- oder ausgecheckt.
Kann ich Version Cue wieder als Foborit mit der Dateiübersicht aktivieren?
Als Betriebsystem nutze ich Vista Business 64bit.
Vielen Dank im voraus!

Habe eine Lösung gefunden:

Missing startup script for version cue

I'm having the problem where I don't seem to have the startup scripts for version cue in bridge.
When I check the list of startup scripts in preferences, the other scripts all seem to be there like for contribute, fireworkds etc. However version cue is missing.
I also checked the actual locations for the startup scripts.
The scripts for version cue seem to be in the actual locations but for some reason they're not running or showing up in bridge or that's what I'm assuming anyway.
I'm running bridge CS4 and version cue CS4.
If anyone could help me that would be great!

What then do they recommend? The URL listed below is broken/no longer available. The solution listed above does appear to work. I installed Version Cue Server CS4 after having installed the rest of the suite on my workstation. I used drive to link to the server(my machine which I am using for testing). I had CS3 on this machine before uninstalling it and installing CS4.

Version Cue CS4 Missing, Fatal Error!!! (Mac OS)

I bought the PS CS4 for OSX alone, without the suite. Although I figured that this would be great and all and everything would work. Although what I learned is that without buying the suite you dont get a copy of version cue. Okay, Im thinking this is fine and all, untill I then start up Photoshop and start a new image, at which point Im greeted with this error:
Fatal error - missing component
The complete error message is in the picture
I checked out the forums and found help on disabling the options for versioncue, although they didnt help at all and the issue is still there.
Please help, I have to get PS working for my job, and Adobe Support wont help me.

That is not true at all, Michael.
I have never bought any version of the suite, and the Adobe Version Cue support files have been installed by Photoshop 10.x and 11.x.
For some reason you have a bad install.
Try using the Adobe Uninstaller to uninstall Photoshop 11. Then Repair Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility. Then install Photoshop, and Repair Permissions once again.
DO NOT move the Photoshop icon, nor the Photoshop folder from the default install location in the root Applications folder.
Once you're up and running, apply all available updates.
If you're still having problems after that, please give details about your machine, OS, etc.

How to Uninstall Version Cue CS4?

Although I have Version Cue CS4 switched off, I would like to remove it completely since I think my Mac is having startup issues and I want to remove any potential source I can. (Unfortuately CS4 has always been the greatest source of stability issues on my Mac so a good place to start since I haven't used Version Cue CS4 in years).
I noticed on this forum thread a Version Cue SDK start-up script but I don't have this one show in my Bridge prefs, presumably I don't have the SDK installed or I'm not updated,
I note PS CS4 has an uninstall alias in it's application folder, but the other apps in CS4 creative suit don't. It's kind of apauling that I've had to spend so long trawling the various Adobe help labaryniths to get such basic information.

You said you think you are having startup issues on your Mac. What are the startup issues you are experiencing?
One quick thing to check; go to System Preferences - Accounts - Login Items.
Are there any Adobe applications listed that are automatically run when your Mac first starts up?
If not, then it seems unlikely that VersionCue or any Adobe product is related to your Mac startup issues.
You should try to focus on the Mac startup issues first. While your CS4 stability issues can be frustrating, it is a good idea to do first things first.
Have you applied all updates for your version of OSX? Have you run Disk Utility to repair permissions and do a hard disk test?
Although just because Disk Utility says the disk is ok doesn't mean that much, but if it flags disk issues then you need to resolute them first.
You should probably back up your files before doing a lot of troubleshooting, just to be on the safe side.
Posting your Mac model, PPC or Intel, OSX version along with amount of RAM and hard drive space - BOTH Used and Unused space might point towards the issues you are experiencing.
Also, describe the startup issues and if it happens all the time or only part of the time.

Lion and photoshop/ error message /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS4/Client/4.0.0/VersionCue.framework

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS4/Client/4.0.0/VersionCue.framework
I cannot use photoshop CS4 on my new computer that came with lion. I get this message above
Help.

Lion does not support PowerPC Applications (Photoshop Elements 4, Quicken, etc.), that ran in Rosetta on the previous Intel OS X's.
Lion and the Rosetta dead-end | Operating Systems | Mac 911 | Macworld
So you will need to either update those Applications, stay with Snow Leopard or create a dual boot system.

Fatal error message: version cue CS4 not found

Just migrated everything to a new Mac Pro with Maverick. When I try to open a document in CS4, I get-Fatal Error: missing component. Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS4/Client/4.0/Version Cue.framework.
That file appears to be in my Library folder as it is shown in the error message. Ideas?
Thanx

Is Version Cue CS4 TOO SLOW TO USE??????

Is it just me or is the new CS4 versioncue workflow extremely slow?
After installing Version Cue CS4 on the same server that was running CS3 and trying to open an existing InDesign project (book with dozens of linked images), I realized that using VersionCue CS4 is so painfully slow compared to CS3 that it's unusable.
It seems that VC CS4 does not create local copies on the hard drive and instead, all traffic is sent over the relatively slow Ethernet connections. While this does help with synchronizing confusions, it makes working on the projects way too slow.
VC CS4 is running with 768MB on my server, so I don't think that is the problem.
Will someone respond to this post and let me know if (a) I'm probably doing something wrong and everything will be OK, or (b) if I can install CS4 and still use VC CS3 on the server?
thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response.. It seems a bit hit or miss on opening up my projects.
For example, if I click on a PDF file in Bridge, it takes upwards of a minute to launch Acrobat 9 and display the first page. If I open Acrobat 9 first, and then click on the PDF, it opens almost instantly.
Also, we have a job with a Microsoft PPT slideshow. When editing the slide show and saving back to the Version Cue 4 server (pressing save in the PowerPoint program), it takes upwards of a minute.
This is with 768MB allocated to the stand-alone server, and 1GB assigned to the Adobe Drive CS4 cache on the client computer.
Does anyone know how to get VC CS4 or Adobe Drive to operate faster?

Enabling version cue in Illustrator CS4?

I've just installed CS4 Design premium and I haven't been able to find where to enable version cue. I thought it was in File Handling and Clipboard (where it was in previous versions), but there's nothing there.
Your assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.

The setting I think you're referring to in Illustrator no longer exists, Ihor. In CS4, the applications are always "Version Cue aware" -- and as Nini pointed out, you turn on and off the server itself in System Preferences.

Can I use both CS4 and CS5 separately so as to use Version Cue ?

I am thinking about buying CS5 to keep up to date.
I cannot do without Version Cue which is only CS4.
Can I buy the upgrade and run them to take advantage of both ?

Yes, you can run both CS4 and CS5 simultaneously, however, you must first launch CS5, then launch CS4. I don't know much about Version Cue or whether it would still work in a CS4/5 workflow, but you could always try the 30-day CS5 Trial as a test.

Version Cue cs4 is not visible in Bridge CS4

I have installed Adobe Master collection CS4 including VC server. The VC is not visible in Bridge. When I try to contact the server with Drive I stil can't see server. I can see a shared drive with the various projects, but it is not possible to see the various versions of my files, like I used to in Bridge CS3.
In preferences -> scripts there is no script for Version Cue. In Tools there is no item for version Cue. What is missing or has gone wrong with installation.
Please help.
Erwin.

Very few people use Version Cue, so no reply means "we got nothing".

Missing Version Cue CS4

Windows XP 32 bit
I have PS CS5 so I uninstalled PS CS4.
Now I can't right click on the desktop or a file nor can I delete a file. I get an Explorer.exe Fatal Application Exit window saying:
The specified module could not be found
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\Client\4.0.0\VersionCue.DLL
One solution I saw was to copy the DLL from Client\4.0.1 into Client\4.0.0
BUT
1. 4.0.1 file location doesn't have a VersionCue.DLL in it
2. There is no Client\4.0.0 folder to put it in even if it were there in 4.0.1.

It's possible Adobe is trying to install a Shell Extension.
There are a couple of good free tools available out there on the net to manage what Shell Extensions you allow to run.
My favorite, which allows you to view an overview of EVERYTHING that's starting on your computer and disable the things you don't want running is AutoRuns. It's freeware and available here:

I have Photoshop 6.0, CS4, and CS5 installed on my Windows 7 x64 workstation. The Adobe software I've personally disabled is shown in the following list. Note that I'm only interested in running Photoshop, not the entire creative suite, and without any Adobe web integration:

AutoRuns has a nice search feature to help you find all the Adobe entries... Click the binoculars, enter Adobe, then hit OK. Hit the F3 key to search for subsequent entries.
Basically, just uncheck the items you don't want running, taking care to ensure you understand what they are and why you might want them (this will take some net research). When you're done, exit and reboot.
Good luck ferreting out the piece that's not needed/wanted.

Connecting to Version Cue CS4 via Bridge?

This is the set up;
Windows 2008 Server: Running Version Cue CS4, no other software related to adobe products is installed, other than Version Cue, and any assets necessary for Version Cue to run.
Client Work Stations running Windows 7 Ultimate, with Photoshop CS4 and After Effects CS4 Installed.
When the clients open their bridge applications there is no visible way for them to connect to the bridge, located on the server, which is on the same network via the same router.
If you run Version Cue directly off of the same system you're trying to connect to it on, it shows up on it's own. How do you connect to a remove Version Cue CS4 server via bridge? Where is the option to even add it?
I assume this would be similar to the default set up any work group would use when using these two tools together. Why isn't there an option to browse for a VC server and put in it's IP or something. They're on the same network, so why can't we just see it and 'just' add it.

Jasker - Thanks you for trying to help, but it didn't work. I followed your directions. Then I attempted to restart the Version Cue server and a Safari browser opened and pointed to http://localhost:3703/ with the message "Safari cant connect to the server.
Safari cant open the page http://localhost:3703/ because it could not connect to the server localhost."
I just want it to start up again so I can properly retrieve all of our projects! Even if I can get it back up, I don't think I will use Version Cue the way we used to, now that I know how unreliable it can be.
Can anyone at least offer advice on how to salvage shared projects (created and maintained by 2 different users) from the Version Cue server when it's offline?
