CS5 to CS6 Extension migration question

Okay, I'll admit I've been asleep for the last four months, I guess. I installed CS5 and have been using it since June on my Mac. I also installed CS6 and (so I believed) set it up identically to CS5.  This morning I went to set up a new site and on a base page I wanted to insert a few paragrapsh of Lorem Ipsum so  I clicked "Insert" and looked for David Powers' "Lorem and More" in the menu. Here's what I saw.
Normally ( and in my CS5) it's at the bottom of the menu. So I checked my Commands menu.
NONE of my KaosWeaver tools are there either. Now here's where it gets confusing. I opened extension Manager and here's what I see:
So I guess what I don't get is, if I've installed all these extensiuons and EM (CS6) shows them as installed, AND enabled... where are they, and why can't I access them?

Major league Duh!!!!
I have a folder with all of my extensions in it. Inside are two subfolders - mxp and zxp. I installed everything from the zxp folder to EM CS6 ( or so I was certain). I uninstalled everything and reinstalled from the zxps, and eureka!!! My extensions are working in CS6 again. I could swear I installed the right ones the first time, because I went to the trouble of converting all of the mxps to zxp beforehand, and then installed right from there.

  • CS5 to CS6 workspaces migration

    I tried to copy my workspaces from CS5 to CS6 by copying the workspace into  the Users/Neil/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS6 Settings/en_US/Workspaces folder. However, when I open AI CS6, the new workspaces are not listed. Is there another way to copy the workspaces?

    Thanks for the information. It is no big deal to create them again, but I just thought I would ask.
    I actually did blackline the XML file for one of my workspaces against the CS6 default, but it was quickly apparent that any hacking there was well beyond my meager skill.
    Cheers.

  • Migrating settings, actions, plug-ins etc. from CS5 to CS6 (Creative Cloud)

    Hi,
    I wondered if someone could help me with the transition from CS5 to CS6 (Creative Cloud). I'm on a Mac with Mountain Lion.
    I would like to migrate as many settings (i.e. workspaces where relevant), personal Photoshop actions, plug-ins (i.e. Type DNA, FontShop [Photoshop], Scriptographer [Illustrator] and Blurb Template Creator [InDesign]) as possible from CS5 to CS6. What is the easiest and smoothest way to do this?
    Some settings, actions and plug-ins might not work with CS6, I don't know. I can't find where my Photoshop actions are archived atm.
    Can I import extensions from Adobe Extension Manager CS5 to Adobe Extension Manager CS6?
    Should I uninstall all CS5 apps? I'd like to keep InDesign CS5 for backwards compatibility at least.
    Does Audition completely replace Soundbooth? What about Flash Catalyst, Device Central and OnLocation?
    Edit: I have already installed all the Creative Cloud applications btw. But I haven't uninstalled any CS5 apps yet.
    Thanks,
    Eivind

    Hi Elvind,
    I would suggest keeping both CS5 and CS6 versions on the system until you are fully transitioned, longer if you want. When you launch Photoshop CS6 it will ask you if you want to import settings from the prior version. Third party plug-ins may or may not be compatible between versions so you might need to check with the manufacturer to find out. You would most likely need to reinstall any third party plug-ins that integrate into existing Adobe product installations though.
    I found this document for Photoshop CS6
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preset-migration-photoshop-cs6.htm l
    For the PS actions, I normally open the actions panel, highlight the actions set (folder) I wanted to migrate, from the flyout menu of the panel choose the option to save the set, this creates the .atm file. There is another option for importing actions in the same menu.
    I can't speak to migrating in relation to the other products. I would recommend posting in the respective product forums.

  • After upgrading from cs5 to cs6, do I have to upgrade extensis fusion 3 to 4?

    Do I have to upgrade from fusion 3 to 4 now that I have upgraded cs5 to cs6?
    And do you know if extensis offers student discounts? I can't find anything on the 'net or their site, but I thought I'd ask here too before I buy the upgrade for (ugh) $50.
    I thought maybe I would open the files in cs5 first, to auto-activate the fonts, then close, then reopen in cs6. Kind of a hassle, but it saves me a bit of green…
    Any suggestions welcome.

    Yes, I have posted there, too. But these forums are more robust. Thanks

  • Can I merge Extension Manager CS5 and CS6?

    Hi there,
    I recently installed Dreamweaver CS6 alongside Photoshop CS5 already on my system. They both come with their respective Extension Managers, but when I download an extension for Photoshop and click to install from Chrome it opens the CS6 extension manager, which my copy of Photoshop isn't in. Is there a way to put Photoshop CS5 into the CS6 extension manager purely for convenience's sake?

    No you must keep your CS5 extension manager and change you default application for installing apps in your browser. It would be better to save the files to your Desktop and then open ExMan CS5 and choose 'Install', then locate the ZXP from the Desktop.

  • Bridge can't find Startup Scripts on OSX (CS5, CS5.5, CS6)

    I just spent a few hours trying to figure out why Bridge could not be launched from Photoshop, and also why the Stratup Script panel in Bridge Preferences was empty.
    On the chance someone else has this issue, I have found one cause for the problem on OSX... and I must say it is rather stupid.
    If you have a volume named "Library" mounted, either a local volume or a server volume, Bridge expects to find its startup scripts on it. You can either rename the volume, or if that really isn't an option, you can create a folder path of /Application Support/Adobe on the Library volume and copy the /Library/Applications Support/Adobe/Bridge CS6 Extensions  and  /Library/Applications Support/Adobe/Startup Scripts 6.0 folders to that new folder.
    Obviously renaming the volume is the easiest. Replace CS6 in the paths above with CS5 or CS5.1 if you also use those products.
    If you have encountered this error in Photoshop when opening bridge, you may have a volume called "Library":
    Error 2: photoshop is undefined.
    Line: 1
    -> photoshop.invokeBridge (false, false, '');

    If you have a volume named "Library" mounted, either a local volume or a server volume, Bridge expects to find its startup scripts on it. You can either rename the volume, or if that really isn't an option, you can create a folder path of /Application Support/Adobe on the Library volume and copy the /Library/Applications Support/Adobe/Bridge CS6 Extensions  and  /Library/Applications Support/Adobe/Startup Scripts 6.0 folders to that new folder.
    I'm sorry but I certainly can't second this advise, in fact I'm strongly against it. Mac Os uses 3 libraries, one at root level, one in the system folder on root level and one on user level, by default hidden per OSX 10.7.
    That is for a single user set up.
    Creating folders in those libraries yourself should only be done with great care and good knowledge but rather you should let this be done during default installation of the applications themselves, they have been designed to place the folders they need to use to work under the correct name and path, otherwise they won't recognize the needed files or script or preferences.
    Renaming the library folder or creating a folder called library your self is a bad idea because all applications use the default root- and user library for various tasks as does the system itself.
    If your initial installation ended up without having access to the other applications using the start up scripts inBridge the install either went wrong or your copy of the software is not correct.
    The default location for the start up scripts should be in the library at root level and that would make the path: Macintosh HD (or the custom name you gave to the start up disk) / Library / Application support / Adobe / Startup Scripts CS6.
    Inhere should each installed application of the CS6 suite have a folder with its application name. These folders contain the needed scripts. Some have only one and some have more. the particular script to run Photoshop is called "photoshop.jsx".

  • Adobe Bridge CS5 and CS6 need to uninstall

  • Compatibility with Photoshop CS5 and CS6

    Anyone who can help me please leave a comment or a suggestion. I would gladly appreciate it!!
    I am starting a Digital Media class in college and CS5 is what is setup on the computers and textbooks are also about CS5 as well. They haven't upgraded to CS6 yet. I am mainly doing Photoshop, Flash Professional, and Illustrator in this class. The first program we are using is Photoshop. I have just paid for and downloaded the Creative Cloud and everything pertains to CS6.
    My question is should I stick with using Photoshop CS5? Or can Photoshop CS6 be used as long as I don't use the newer parts of the program?
    Also will there be compatible issues in say for instance I am doing a project and going back and forth from my computer at home (with CS6) to working on it at school (with CS5)?

    As long as you enable the "Maximum Compatibility" option, you will always have data to work with. Of course some features will not be available, but that should not be that big an issue. I'd rather be concerned about Flash and Illustrator, which are much more prone to converting data into non-editable stuff when saving from a newer version to an older version....

  • Photoshop CS5 to CS6 possible ?

    Hi All
    I have Photoshop CS5 and Im looking to upgrade to CS6 is this possible and any idea's how and how much ?
    I'd love to migrate to the cloud but unfortunately living in a rural place with limited broadband services makes this pretty much impossible ... and hard to find 'traditional' software to buy these days !
    thanks
    jools

    Yes Adobe still markets CS6 and you can upgrade from CS5 to CS6 $200 for standard $400 for extended.  However the Adobe Web site is designed to  push a $50 a mounth subscription on you. So when you got to the correct page Creative Suite 6 to upgrade to CS6 you need to click Buy then ignore the pushed subscription default use the pull-down menu to change full to upgrade then use its select button not the default subscription push select button. View the screen capture in a new tab or window this site scale images poorly. In a new tab or window you can scale the image full size.

  • I'm trying to install my copy of CS5 under CS6 because

    I'm trying to install my copy of  CS5 under CS6 because my new Canon Pixma Pro-10 will not install a plugin of PrintStudioPro in CS6 but does install it in CS5, but the Adobe website says my SN for CS5 is correct but will not recognize it. Where do I turn? This question is not addressed by any of your question options. I have had a registered copy of Photoshop since v2.0, skipping CS4. Now where do I turn? phone 808-455-1626, or email: [email protected] Please help!

    And what actualyl is the problem? Does CS5 refuse the serial? Your blurb is confusing. If it's merely an install issue, run the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and install the programs in proper order, starting with the older version.

  • Keywords lost in upgrading from cs5 to cs6

    Hi,
    Recently, I upgraded from Photoshop CS5 to CS6, including Bridge.
    A very bad surprise was to find that the keyword system that I had developed and used to assign kewords to new pictures was no longer there.
    Apparently, this very important "personal setting" was not transferred in the upgrade procedure.
    What can I do to retrieve it?
    What is the filename in which Bridge keeps the keywords?
    Perhaps I could find it on my system or some backup.
    Or, if that won't work:  I notice that when opening an old picture its kwds appear in the kwd panel, although in italics. and not in the hierarchical fashion they should.
    However, retrieving my kwds this way would be a terible task if I have to open each of thousands of pictures one by one.
    Is there a batch kind of way to do this, that retrieves the kwds from all pix in a folder with subfolders?
    Please help,
    Sverker

    Thanks all for considering my problem and for the advice!
    I was away from these matters for a while, now I'm back on it.
    First let me mention that I did indeed find a program for looking into the big .MIG file.
    But alas, the keywords file was not there, don't know why (thus it didn't matter to me that extraction of files from the .MIG didn't seem to work.)
    Thus I was ready to follow the advice you guys gave me from the beginning, to recreate the keyword list from the image files.  I made some use of the suggested Find / Keyword, chosing a particular keyword or just "exists" for a folder.
    But I soon found out that my keyword structure needed several improvements, and thus I gave up simply hitting Make Persist.
    Instead I am working my way on smaller chunks of files -- feels worth the trouble.
    To make this work more efficient, it would be useful if there were a way to prevent Bridge from starting to immediately writing changes to the files on disk, doing it over and over again for each keyword I assign or remove.
    Would be much better if I could make all changes in, say, a folder and then ask Bridge to write the changes to disk.
    Do you know if there is an option to stop the immediate writing of changes?
    I vaguely seem to remember I'v read about it, but now I can't find any such opotion.
    (maybe this should be posted as a new question?)

    cs6 can be used.
    any class, method, property or event that works for flash player 10 will work with the cs5 version at your school.  the help files list the flash player version needed for every class, method, property and event.
    when you save a fla (using cs6) that you want to open using cs5, use "save as" and select Flash CS5 document.  If you fail to do that and save as a CS6 document, your school's Flash will be unable to open that document and display an "unrecognized file format" message.
