CS6 to CC - best way to proceed

Hello,
This is my first post ever so hope I have the hang of it - apologies if not.
I have an early CC membership (continuing) and have CS6 versions of several applications downloaded from CC.
As I understand it, in order to benefit from CC upgrades I need to download the CC versions of these applications.
I am concerned about space and possible conflicts between different versions - so what is the best way to proceed: download the CC version and then delete the CS6 version, or just delete CS6 version first?
I have OS X 10.8.5 and 16 GB of memory.
Also am I missing anything that might cause problems?
Any pointers would be appreciated.

You are overthinking this. There is no need to uninstall anything. if you still must, then remove CS6 before installing CC.

    Electronic Press Kit.
    Usually in the form of video outtakes, movie trailers, cast and crew interviews. Basically, the stuff that gets bunged onto commercial DVDs as extras or ends up on late night TV "Making Of..." shows.
    To answer the OP, you want a button on the menu that leads to a still image, or series of them, set up as a slide show. You can copy/paste the text in DVD Studio and then add formatting via the Text menu. (Highlight the text and right click to access formatting controls). Or do it in a graphics application using the appropriate video image preset.

  • I have about 200 sms to print. What is the best way to proceed?

    The title says it all. I have A LOT of sms to print. The only way I found to do it is to capture the screen and then print it but this is going to take forever and will require a lot of paper. Is there an easier way? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Buy TouchCopy or Printopia and move all of them to your computer.

  • Best way to proceed with adding fields to SAP Customer Master

    I want to add 4 new fields to tcodes VD01/VD02/VD03(Customer Master create/change/display).
    These fields will be stored in a separate Z table (not in KNA1).
    I see what I think is a possible answer in SPRO -> Logistics -> Business Partner -> Customers -> Control -> Develop Enhancements for Customer Master Data
    would this be the most appropriate solution? Or would a BADI work? If so which one?
    any other ideas?
    thanks,
    rp.

    ok, i think i'm on the right track..
    through spro, i've created a screen group (ZC) and assigned it Tab Page Label information such as screen number, Function code, and Description.
    next, under BADI subscreens, i've created in implementation of  CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA_CS called ZCUSTOMER_MASTER with screen Group ZC.
    under interface, I dbl click GET_TAXI_SCREEN and enter the following code:
      IF i_taxi_fcode = 'ZC'.
        e_screen = '1050'.
        e_program = 'SAPMZCRED_ALLOC'.
        e_headerscreen_layout = ' '.
      ENDIF.
    I then created screen 1050 in program SAPMZCRED_ALLOC with just 1 field as a test.
    But, after everyting is activated, I don't see my new tab.
    However, if I change the screen group to O0 (Additional Data, IS-OIL General) and my i_taxi_fcode check to O0, then run VD02, I do see my screen when I click the Additional Data, IS OIL General button in VD02.
    So, it looks like I need to assign my screen group ZC to the tab strip in VD02.. can you tell where to do that?

  • Best Way to Install CS6 Design/Web Premium Upgrade

    Hi,
    CS6 Design/Web Premium Windows Upgrade (for CS5.5 Design Premium) is shipped and on its way for 5/10/12 delivery. Reading on these boards about CS6 installation problems (plus the installation difficulties for CS5 upgrade from CS4), prompt me to ask:
    What is the best way to install the CS6 upgrade?
    Is there a CS6 clean tool available?
    I would ordinarily first deactivate and uninstall CS5.5 Design Premium.
    Is this the best way to proceed?
    Regards,

    If you do not want to keep a CS5.5 concurrent installation , this is the best way in my opinion.
    The CS5.5 uninstallers do not remove everything of CS5.5 however. There will be e.g. left overs in the Help titles of the CS6 Help Manager. There is a cleaner tool: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
    Cheers,

  • Best way to warp stabilize between premiere cs6 and AE cs6

    I have a sequence with many clips, some with different speed (warp stabilizer doesn't work with speed in premiere CS6) whats the best way to stabilize these videos that are in different speeds?
    Another question, in CS 5.5 I used the warp stabilizer in 1080P clips on a 720p composition (with fit to composition) this way I warp stabilizer could zoom/crop the video without loosing quality. Now premiere CS6 has warp stabilizer but I can use a 720P sequence with a 1080p video, warp stabilizer won't accept it.So whats the best way to do this in premiere CS6? (to get 1080p video stabilized in 720p sequence) or I can just stabilize in 1080p and export the final video to 720p and I will have the same quality?
    Thanks

    You can make a new sequence from that 1080p file, stabilize it, nest it, then copy and paste it into your 720p project. This way you won't need to export it beforehand.
    I notice this topic is old, but it may help someone.
    Best,

  • What's the best way to set up my TC?

    Hey guys... I'm pretty new to Mac/Bootcamp/TimeCapsule and all these great stuffs... I've bought a macbook pro, a 3TB time capsule, apple tv and a WD 3TB Storage External Hard Drive.
    I also bought Parallels... Now let me explain you what I'm looking for and what I've done until now (sorry about my English):
    I installed Windows 7 via Bootcamp... It's working great... Now I'm studying all the ways I can set up my timecapsule, I first need to think about it for doing things on the right way and don't need to go back and set up everything again. That's why I need some help from experts.
    I NEED to run windows on my mac because I'm architect and I use all Autodesk programs, specially Revit Architecture, and it works only on Windows.
    All my stuff is on my 3TB WD External Hard Drive (including personal photos, videos, music and work files).
    I partitioned my HD (my macbook has 1 TB) this way: 600 GB for Macintosh and about 300 GB for Windows. I intended to do this: All my files related to my work (architectural work, Autodesk files, libraries etc), I would copy to my Windows partition, and I would install all Autodesk programs, including other programs like CorelDraw and Photoshop, there...
    All my other files (personal videos, music, photos) I would copy to Macintosh HD Partition... That would be a good way to work.
    BUT I know is possible to set up TimeCapsule as a file server.... So, it would be a good idea to save my "autodesk"/work files in TimeCapsule and working directly from there? Or it would slow down my workflow? It would depend of my Internet connection or it would read my files using an internal connecting? (without affecting speed when reading files).
    It would be nice to storage my work files in TimeCapsule because I would not fill space from my Macbook HD... But it would be a problem when I eventually need to make a trip or visit a client and take my macbook to access files from there, right? It would not be easy simply "copy one or two files" to my macbook because there's libraries, file links, references from libraries storaged on "windows program files" etc...
    As you can see I'm very worried and lost about the best way to proceed.... I also wrote a lot, sorry. Let me simplify things again:
    1) I have my files from work in Windows Partition, and my personal files in Macintosh partition
    2) I need to access my work files (Windows) eventually when I take my macbook in a trip, but I can't copy those files to it, they need to stay in a static path (they depend of other files, references, settings, external libraries etc)
    3) I want to setup my TimeCapsule to do automatic backups of all my files (both stored on Windows and Mac partitions. Is it possible in windows? Or TC just do that in files in iOS X?)
    4) I also have the option to install Parallels, but I don't know if it would be a nice choice (I'm worried to lose speed when I work in large projects on 3D programs).
    Please, can someone help me out?

    BUT I know is possible to set up TimeCapsule as a file server...
    What is possible is not necessarily easy or best.
    In fact the TC is not a file server.. and was never designed for that. It is primarily a backup for Time Machine.
    So, it would be a good idea to save my "autodesk"/work files in TimeCapsule and working directly from there?
    No, that would be a very poor way to work. Keeping and using live files on the TC.. especially if you use wireless to access them would be very bad. Less bad but still slow over ethernet.
    You can backup completed projects to the TC but certainly don't use it for live work files.. they should always be on the local hard disk.
    It would be nice to storage my work files in TimeCapsule because I would not fill space from my Macbook HD... But it would be a problem when I eventually need to make a trip or visit a client and take my macbook to access files from there, right?
    You might be better to redo the setup of the computer..
    Partition the space with much more available for windows.. put more of your personal files, onto a USB drive you plug into the computer.
    All my other files (personal videos, music, photos) I would copy to Macintosh HD Partition... That would be a good way to work.
    You seem to have a conflict between using it for work purposes and personal use.. In fact almost I would say you need two laptops.. but perhaps that is not acceptable.
    You cannot build a computer to be everything to everyone. If you have competition for use.. IMHO the part that makes you money is more important than the personal interest. And info like videos and music can live happily on a 2.5" 1TB USB3 drive you use for that.
    The TC cannot backup windows.. The Mac OS cannot really backup windows.. in fact you should exclude windows file from the backup for a number of reasons.. mostly it is too big and is pretty much useless when you rebuild a machine. You need to backup windows from within windows.. use a suitable Windows backup software.. Genie TIme Line pro is popular here because it is vaguely like Time Machine.
    Time Machine of course backs up your Mac partition and you can include the external USB drive in the backup as long as it is correctly formatted HFS+.
    You have lots to learn.. feel free to ask questions.. but take it a bit at a time. Hard to read slabs of text.

  • What's the best way to merge, restore or reconstruct iPhoto and Aperture libraries to resolve images that are not found/offline?

    Hey there, Apple Support Communities.
    To start, I'm working on a MBP Retina 15" with a 2.3GHz i7 processor and 16 GB of RAM.  10GB free on a 256GB SS HD.  Attached are two external HDs - one 1TB Western Digital portable drive from 2011, one 2TB Porsche LaCie non-portable drive from 2013; both connected via USB.  All photo libraries in question are on the external drives.
    I have Aperture 3.5.1 and iPhoto 9.5.1.  I prefer to work in Aperture.
    The Issue(s)
    Over the years, I have accumulated a number of iPhoto libraries and Aperture libraries.  At one point, I thought my WD drive was dying so I purchased the LaCie and copied all libraries over the the LaCie drive.  (Turns out, there's probably an issue with my USB port reading drives, because I can once again see the WD drive and occasionally I can't see the LaCie drive.)
    So now I have old version of some libraries on the WD drive, and new versions on the LaCie drive.
    When I was moving things, I ran the software Gemini to de-dupe my iPhoto libraries.  Not sure what effect that may have had on my issues.
    In my main Aperture library and in some iPhoto libraries, I get the image-not-found badge or exclamation point.  I've dug through the hidden Masters folders in various libraries to find the original image.  In some cases, I have been able to find the original image, sometimes in a different version of the iPhoto library.
    My Question(s)
    1.  For Aperture libraries that have missing originals, is there some magical way to find them, or have they just disappeared into the oblivion?
    2.  For iPhoto libraries that have missing originals and I have found the original in another iPhoto library, what is the best way to proceed?
    3.  Are there quirks to merging iPhoto and Aperture libraries (by using the Import->Library) feature that I should be aware of?
    TL;DR: Too many iPhoto and Aperture libraries, and not all the original pictures can be found by the libraries anymore, though some originals still do exist in other libraries.  Steps/process to fix?
    Thank you!  Let me know if you need add'l info to offer advice.
    With appreciation,
    Christie

    That will not be an easy task, Christie.
    I am afraid, your cleaning session with Gemini may have actually removed originals. I have never used this duplicate finder tool, but other posters here reported problems. Gemini seems to replace duplicate original files in photo libraries by links, and this way, deleting images can cause the references for other images to break. And Aperture does not follow symbolic links - at least, I could never get it to find original files this way, when I experimented with this.
    1.  For Aperture libraries that have missing originals, is there some magical way to find them, or have they just disappeared into the oblivion?
    You have to find the originals yourself. If you can find them or restore them from a backup, Aperture can reconnect them. The reconnect panel can show you, where the originals are supposed to be, so youcan see the filename and make a Spotlight search.
    For iPhoto libraries that have missing originals and I have found the original in another iPhoto library, what is the best way to proceed?
    Make a copy of the missing original you found in a folder outside the iPhoto library. You can either open the iPhoto library in Aperture and use "File > Locate Referenced file" to reconnect the originals, or simply reimport them. Then Lift&Stamp all adjustments and metadata to the reimported version.
    See this manual page on how to reconnect originals:  Aperture 3 User Manual: Working with Referenced Images  (the paragraph:  Reconnecting Missing or Offline Referenced Images)
    Are there quirks to merging iPhoto and Aperture libraries (by using the Import->Library) feature that I should be aware of?
    References images will stay referenced, managed will remain managed. You need to unhide all hidden photos in iPhoto - this cannot be done in Aperture.
    and not all the original pictures can be found by the libraries anymore, though some originals still do exist in other libraries.  Steps/process to fix?
    That is probably due to Gemini's replacing duplicate originals by links, and your best cause of action is to fix this before merging the libraries. Reconnecting can be done for your iPhoto libraries in Aperture.

  • Best Way to Sync Lists Across Multiple Site Collections?

    A quick query I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with...
    Within our university intranet I am assigning each department a team site within its own Site Collection. So that departments can associate Document Library files with a set list of academic courses, I created a custom dropdown field and deployed it as a Feature. While this worked within SharePoint, when you attempted to set the document properties within the Microsoft Word environment the custom fields were rendered as empty text boxes (meaning that staff are no longer restricted in when information they can enter).
    To get around this I'm considering going back-to-basics and creating a Custom List, populating it with the titles of our academic courses, and then assigning it to a Document Library via a Lookup Field. I know that Microsoft Word will then correctly display the metadata dropdown.
    As I am using multiple Site Collections, I'm unsure of the "best" way to proceed.
    I've already written a Console Application which can create a Custom List within a targetted site and populate it with the contents of an XML file - but I would need to run this every time I created a new Site Collection and what would I do when I wanted to update the contents of all the lists?
    Other than modifying my Console Application to loop through all instances of the Custom List within Site Collections and sync it to the contents of the XML file, is there another (better) option that I am over-looking?
    Its such a shame I can't create cross-collection Lookup Fields within all of the Site Collections that point to a single top-level list.
    Many thanks.

    My instinctive questions drifts towards why you have different site collections.  If all the sites were sub sites within the same site collection, a global field would solve the issue quite nicely.
    If you have legitimate reasons for keeping the sites seperated into separate site collections, I would look at using an Event Handler to trigger updates to reference values in each site collection, be they global fields or lists.  Then if you wish to update the values, you only need to update the trigger list to propagate the updates across your site sollections to all your sites in question.
    I trust that answers your question...
    Thanks

  • HT1338 Update Safari on iPad/ best way not to crash? - eMail Overload

    My Safari often crashes, even though I only have maybe 3 to 4 tabs open. (This is even after a factory reset to new restore as new with only 2 apps installed. So no memory is being used on anything.) And I'm wondering do I need to update it separately or is that automatically done with the update to the iPad? I'm on top of cleaning the cookies and cachet, along w/ deleting history, etc on a reg basis, at least every 3wks.. I do have a lot of bookmarks, I imported from other browsers, and, I've been deleting those since I've discovered the crash is my error not apples. it also had the prob going from a 3rd gen to an air....so...any suggestions on stabilizing this, that I'm overlooking? I appreciate it.
    Also, I have several  emailboxes that aren't always getting their mail (or the mail will come a few days later) ...my primary inbox, says something like 4k msgs, & I feel paralyzed by the #, I do keep chiseling away! but I need help .. these aren't all junk messages either, in fact most of them are not junk messages, they need to be filed, and they need to be glanced at and then discarded or fiiled or rarely replied to. But I've got the iPad set to only sync back 3mo, (I figure I'll handle it in chunks or the desktop)  & I find that my mail is crashing, and that it will often get stuck, as I'm doing searches and trying to mass edit & move. Any suggestions on organization, apps, settings to accommodate the problem?
    All appreciated,
    Blessings,
    KellyS1709

    Bugs, by definition, affect everybody, all the time. I'm just not seeing 10 million plus users all complaining about this and, believe me, they would be.
    The progress bar can freeze up for any number of different reasons, with who perhaps to blame stretched out all the way from your iPad to your network to your ISP to the net itself to the server that you're connecting to.
    As for best way to proceed, boilerplate follows:
    A more or less standard sequence of steps is laid out in your User's Guide which you should follow in those cases when either your iPad or an app isn't behaving as it should. They sort of mirror 'The Three R's (Restart, Reset, & Restore) that you use for iPod troubleshooting, with a few extra iPad-specific things added in to the list.
    Others here may just print out various parts of that list in their responses. I prefer instead to direct you to p. 170 of your Guide, in the Tips & Troubleshooting section. The directions there will start you out from the quickest and easiest first step, which will often be all you need to do, all the way to your atomic blast fix of totally restoring the iOS and all contents in your iPad.
    You can call AppleCare, and they will probably have you do the same things. Or, you can take it I to a Genius Bar, and they will also go through the same steps. Needless to say, if you work through the whole process without being able to correct your problem, then you've pretty much shot your bolt and will have to start talking to Apple or the app developers for a resolution.

  • 2009 Mac Book Pro want to install an SSD drive to replace optical 250 drive. What is best way?

    My Mac Book Pro is getting very slow (2009) I want to replace 250 optical drive foe a 256 SSD Samsung850 pro drive. What is the best way to proceed. I am running Yosemite  now. Have the SSD drive formatted and a back up made of my old drive. Do I have to go back to Snow leopard and reload? Then update to present?
    Thanks

    That error can be as a result of a number of reasons, corrupt file system, incompatible software, malware. etc.
    I suggest that you connect the SDD via USB, boot into the recovery partition and install Yosemite onto the SSD.  (Make certain that it has been formatted.)
    Then test to see if it will boot the MBP (OPTION key down at start up and then select the SSD icon.)
    If it boots the MBP, swap the drives and then connect the original or your back up HDD to the MBP and then drag and drop your data to the internal SSD.
    This way if the HHD was corrupt, that issue then should be eliminated.
    Not as quick a procedure, but this seems to be the best alternative that I can come up with.
    Ciao.

  • What is the best way to explore a hierarchical folder structure?

    Hallo,
    I need to access and navigate a hierarchical folder structure hosted in a MS SQL Server database. In particular there is a root folder containing several folders. Each child-folder contains further nested folders or documents.
    For each item I need to retrieve the folder's (name, path, etc) and the documents (title, author, etc.) details that are retrievable from the DB fields. Afterwards I will use these data to create a semantic web ontology using Jena API.
    My question was about which is the best way to proceed.
    A collegue of mine suggested to use the "WITH" command of SQL Server to create and use a link list to navigate easily the structure, executing just one query rather than several (one for each level of the nested loops). However in this way the solution will work only with the SMQ Server database, while my goal is to achieve a more general solution.
    May someone help me?
    Thank you in advance,
    Francesco

    My goal is to create a documents library ontology achieving, from each element of the hierarchy (folder or document), some data (title, parent, etc.) and use them to "label" the ontology resources.
    I will use a little of both approches in the following way:
    1) I make just ONE query on folder table to get, from each folder, its path (eg. root/fold1/fold2/doc1.pdf), its ID and ParentID and ONE on the Documents table to get the containerID, title, etc.
    2) I create as many Folder objects as the retrieved records and an HashTable, where the KEY = Folder.ParentID value and the VALUE = Vector<Folder>. I add then each object to the Vector relative to the same ParentID. In this way I have an Vector containing all the folders child of the same parent folder and I do the same for an HashTable keeping the documents contained in a specific folder.
    3)I extract from the HashTable the root folder (whose ParentID is always "0" and whose ID is "1") than it is invoked the method appendChild() (see code)
         public static void appendChild(int ID, Resource RES)
              Vector<Folder> currFold = table.get(ID);
              for(int i=0; i<currFold.size(); i++)
                   //Extract the child and crate the relative resource
                   if(table.containsKey(currFold.getID()))
                        appendChild(currFold[i].getID(), Resource newRES);
    In this way I go in depth in the hirarchical structure using a "left most" procedure. I made a test and the output is correct. However, such an approch must be done for about 4 level depth folders (around 30 in total) containing also documents and creating the documents library of a Project. Then I must process around 20 project to achieve for all of them such a documents library representation.
    By the way, I do not have to mantein the HashTable content after I created the docs library ontology. Hence I use just one hashTable for ALL the projects and I flush it after I finish to do the loop for one project in order to save resources.
    My question is: is right my approach or might I improve it in some way?
    Thank you for every suggesion/comment.
    Francesco

  • Best way to read data sources in parallel

    Hi,
    I'm looking for conceptual help as I start a project. I am trying to figure out the best way to get data from several sources at different timings and deliver them to a main vi.
    I have 4 systems, which each work well on their own (OK, one doesn't work yet, but let's assume that can be fixed
    One system reads from 2 pH meters on serial ports. The meters are slow to respond, so it takes about 2 minutes to read 4 channels of data. I save these data to a file every 10 minutes
    One system reads from a CO2 meter on the USB port. It reads the data every second, and does some averaging. Every 2-10 minutes, it saves the average to a file and then sends a command to the parallel port to switch the input to the meter.
    The third system reads from 6 valves, each on a serial port. These also take time, probably several minutes to poll all 6. These data will also be saved to a file.
    The 4th system reads a bank of temperature probes on the USB port. These get polled every few seconds and saved to a file every few minutes.
    Now that these individual routines are working, I am trying to create a front end that will display all the data in one place and allow me to set all the parameters from a single place. I would also like the possibility of using the data from one source at another place (for instance, having the output of the temperature probes sent to the pH meters to adjust their calibration). At this point, I get confused as to the best way to proceed.
    It seems like if I just want to read the data from each source, I could simply put all 4 routines together in a single vi (oh, what a mess that would be to read). Maybe I should start this way?
    However, if I want to have any communication between the different data sources, it seems like I will either need to use queues or VI server. I sort of envision a vi that lets me configure the various ports and the file operations and then can turn on monitoring of any or all of the various inputs. Each of them will do their thing at their own time and the main routine will simply display whatever data they deliver whenever they have new data. Fortunately, nothing is particularly time-critical, nor does it need to run fast.
    My questions: Am I correct in how I'm thinking about getting this to work?   Is there a clear choice between queues or vi server? I've looked at several examples of each, but without having done something like this before, it is hard for me to tell which is better.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Hi Mike,
    I think that you are on the right track with your thinking process. You might be able to implement this using queues. I'm not exactly sure how you would do it with VI server since it is just a set of functions that allows you to dynamically control front panel objects, VIs, and the LabVIEW environment. However, there are some great resources available with using queues for this type of application. I'm including the link to another discussion forum that had a very similar question to yours. There is a good example of using queues within this forum post. Also, there is a great example in NI Developer Zone about using queues and some other good ones in the NI Example Finder (just search 'queues' and you should get a few results). I hope this helps!

  • Best way to produce a slide show with good quality

    OK, I know this is an ongoing issue, but I am trying to figure out the best way to proceed.
    Made a movie of stills. They are jagged unless there is a title or a transition, then they are very smooth.
    So anything rendered in iMovie looks good. How do I get from here to iDVD without the jagged stills?
    I was even considering putting fake titles over the whole thing (with no text) just to render it nicely.
    Why is this still a problem?

  • Best way to reconnect link from songs in iTunes to music library?

    Recently my hard drive crashed and I lost my iTunes Music Library. In order to restore it, I purchased a new external hard drive and used the PodUtil software to copy all of my songs from my iPod to my new hard drive. This worked great but I am now seeing the dreaded exclamation point next to all of my songs. I did change the location of the library pointer in my preferences to my new iTunes folder and I thought that would solve the problem but it didn't. When I tried playing some of the songs, the links were restored and the exclamation points disappeared. However, I have noticed that many of them still have a broken link and I determined that it's due to the fact that the PodUtil program re-catalogued some of the songs with different folder and file names and iTunes is not recognizing them because the original file path is different. Does anyone know the best way to proceed with restoring these songs without losing the library data for the songs (play count, rating, last played, etc.)? Do I have to relocate each song one by one?

    So when I realized that iTunes wasn't recognizing the songs because the path/filename was modified, I tried to change the folders/filenames to what they were before they were modified. (I do a periodic export from iTunes and used my most recent export to determine the previous path.) When I corrected the folders/filenames to what iTunes recognized, the songs could be played and the exclamation points disappeared. Going forward, should I do this re-cataloging (restoring the folder/filename) for each unrecognized song, or should I re-locate the song through iTunes? The latter sounds like the easier method although when I tried doing it for one of the songs it appear to create a duplicate of the song. Anyone know why?
