Easily moving from CS6 to CC

Like most people, I'm really excited to see new versions of the software come out, and After Effects CC looks to be a great upgrade. That said, there is a moment of dread when installing the new software, when I realize I have to now migrate all my scripts, presets, and after market plugins into the new software, and is ultimately a block of time I'd love to avoid spending on that.
Apart from going through all the installers, which is not really any more efficient. Has anyone run across a streamlined way to do this? Written a handy script? or unlocked the secrets of the "migration" universe so that we can save some time?
To add... I'd love to see Adobe provide something to help facilitate this. Yes, I realize there could be some compatibliltiy issues that spring up, and they probably don't want to deal with that. At the risk of downplaying that possiblity... it would certainly help!
Thanks,
Stephen

Ok guys... I'm totally stuck.
Found my old Plug-ins (the ones that aren't in the Application folder), in ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/CS6/MediaCore/
This is where the core Trapcode plugins exist, for instance.
Unfortunately, that folder doesn't exist for CC. Where should I move them too?
Thanks!

Moving from CS6 to CC (Question)

Hi everyone,
As the title explains, I'm moving forward to upgrade my Premiere cs6 to CC.
My question is: Can I open old projects from cs6 in the new CC? Can I fully work with them, like I did on CS6?
Thank you!

BEST PRACTICE: Complete current projects in THEIR version, and start new ones in the new version. Staffer Kevin Monahan (former life a major professional user/teacher of FCP before becoming an Adobe staffer) who frequents this forum preaches that as THE proper work-pattern in ANY NLE or video app for professional use. You gotta be able to get that work out, and though projects MAY transfer forward just fine, if they glitch up and you didn't keep the old project pristine ... you're screwed. Many people have up-graded projects without a hitch, but if you go through this forum you'll find a number that ... um ... it wasn't a happy moment. Or week. Or month.
His basic recommendation ...
- Any projects that will have a "final" state are worked to that state in the "old" version.
- The newer versions can be downloaded and installed separately from the older ones ... use them for any new projects and if something or some effect doesn't like the new version, you can still run the old one.
- Projects that are always on-going (like tv series) should be extensively tested with a COPY of you previous-version project and then ... when any issues that MAY pop up are resolved, move forward with the new version on its new project. NEVER allow the "main" copy of the old project to be modified past it's version.
- Keep past versions on your computer, perhaps renaming the icons so you know which programs "match with each other, across the PrPr, Ae, Sg, Audition, and AME set.

Moving from CS6 to CC2014 messes up sequential clip references

I have a CS6 project I've brought into CC. The project media includes video clips (in Canon MXF format) that were split in-camera because of the file size.
In CS6 the clips were sequenced back together with no problems. In CC, the second clip appears to reference the first, so that any edits using clip 2 actually play back the content of clip 1. In the bin the clip name is as it should be.
I have tried all manner of workarounds, including reimporting the clip, replacing footage (both in the bin and clip-by-clip), importing the CS6 timeline, EDLs etc. but either the same thing happens or I get the grey stripes across the clip (which I believe indicates being out-of-timecode-range). The workaround I've had most success with involves duplicating the file, renaming it (strangely this only works if the start of the filename is different), importing the new clip and manually re-editing each one through laborious cut and paste of the edit points. It's a pain in the *undefined* and still isn't ideal; the replacement clips come in with stereo audio instead of dual monos as they should be so I have to fiddle even further.
Is this a bug? Am I being oblivious to some new (or old) feature? Would I be better off staying in CS6?
Cheers

Would I be better off staying in CS6?
For this project yes, then mov one to CC14.

Trouble moving from lightroom to Photoshop CS6 raw editor

I am having trouble moving from my lightroom 4 to Photoshop camera raw. I can move directly to Photoshop but would like to use the raw editor in photoshop CS6 and not the lightroom editor

Hi,
You could use Photo>Edit In>Open as Smart Object in Photoshop
(or right click on the photo and Edit In>Open as Smart Object in Photoshop)
Then double click on the smart object thumbnail in the layers panel to open camera raw.

Your .wma (proprietary to Windows format) will not play or convert in iTunes Mac so convert them in iTunes Windows to .mp3 before moving your library. There are other converters on the Internet - do a search.

UTF issue when moving from cf5 to cfmx7

It's been long overdue so am moving from CF5 to cfmx7 on my hosting account.
The issue is that my hosting account has disabled cfcontent.
I am getting gibberish outputting utf data from my database. It works fine on cf5 but on cfmx7 I read someplace that you have to use cfcontent to output utf-8 correctly.
Is there any work around without having to use cfcontent?
I tried using cfprocessingdirective and cfheader tags to show utf but it didn't work. Any pointers or suggestions appreciated.
Best Regards
Sanman

ok, since it's "N" you should be good to go with transferring the data (it's
actually pretty simple). in cf5, write a page that does a simple query against
the table(s) containing your data, i guess just select TOP 100 or so rows with
the PK & the nText columns. simply output that query using a delimiter that you
can parse easily (commas between columns & quotes for the nText would be my
default choices). have a look at the output to make sure it's readable. if all's
well, on the cf7 (or whatever) box do a cfhttp call to that cf5 page & dump out
the cfhttp.fileContent or result if you use that. if it's still readable, then
you can do the real xfer by:
- backing up the original table
- double checking that the backup is ok
- triple checking that the backup is ok
- adding another table w/just PK & nText columns
- filling that with the properly encoded data
- then do a join UPDATE against the old table

Moving from Novell Zenworks to Windows Server 2008 domain

I am trying to find ways to automate the process of moving between a Novell Zenworks environment to a server 2008 domain. The first problem to my understanding is changing the names of the machines to legal values in our Windows XP Pro Clients. They are currently mostly named, cata_rm#_computer# (where # is a defined value set manually). To my understanding underscore _ is an invalid character for joining a domain so we want to have an automated script that can easily be deployed over the network to basically replace all "_"with "-". Is this necessary or can this issue be handled easier ****her down the road on moving to a windows domain?
We would then like to be able to deliver a payload via zenworks that will cause all of Novell and Zenworks to be removed from the computer and once that is complete add the computer to the new windows domain. Ideally the payload could be easily run from a network share or flash drive as well. Unattended installers may be available for this software suite but we would want to combine the uninstall process with adding the domain so we can move from our poor zenworks domain to a windows domain without ever touching most of our machines.
This is not my project but I am interested in learning how this process could be completed as painlessly as possible hopefully learning something along the way. Anything from links to guides on where to get started looking to more developed solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

None the less the beginning of my problem, removing Novell is a Novell issue. Thankfully I have figured out most of the removal of novell and zenworks already, now just working on fixing the client names and joining the windows AD domain.

Opening CS3 files from CS6 InDesign

We are looking to upgrade the office from CS3 to CS6 Creative Suite. Can InDesign files from CS3 be opened in straight into CS6? If not, what is the best way to access the CS3 files from CS6?

Can they be opened directly? Yes.
Should they be? Harder to answer.
I've never had a problem with any file I created moving from an old to anew version, but we've seen reports here from other users who found converting CS3 or CS4 files to CS5 or CS5.5 seemed to be OK right up until they failed, often after extensive editing and while trying to export PDF. In general, exporting these same files from the earlier version as .inx or .idml, and opening that in the new version did not fail.
CS6 is too new to have had many similar reports, and I want to stress that these problems are probably isolated and indicate, I suspect, some underlying corruption in the original file (which might have caused failure in the original version at some point, too), but I've persaonally adopted a policy of export from the original for any file that is going to get converted. It isn't worth the risk compared to the short amount of time involved in taking precautions.

Moving from mask to image.

I've just moved from CS3 to CS6. Previously, when working on a layer mask I could make the image active by Command – ~ . This doesn't work now - is there another keyboard shortcut for this? I can't find any references to this anywhere. I use a Mac, OS 10.7.4.

From CS4 onwards, you have to 'Option + click' on the layer mask to reveal toggle between image and mask.
However, there is an option CS6 has for seasoned legacy users, like you!
Photoshop > Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.
Enable checkmark on highlighted read area in the image - Use Legacy Channel Shortcuts. You'll be able to revive the legacy shortcuts for channels/ layers.
Do note that CS6 has a lot of improvements in shortcut commands for other layer/ channel options and tools within PS. You will be sacrificing these if you choose to use Legacy Channel Shortcuts.
Nevertheless, trust this helps

Form button does not work when a program is moved from Windows 8.2 to Windows 7

Hi,
I have a few Excel programs which use the ODBC to get data from Access and which have macros which writes data to an external program, MYOB.
When the macros tries to write the data to MYOB it fails if I am not running the program in administrator mode.   It seems that Windows 8.2 has a different level of security than Windows 7 and must be run in administrator mode for the ODBC to work.
I have had issues after running the program in administrator mode (testing) if I simply do a save (in administrator mode) and then send it to the customer.   The issue is that it just will not work on the customer's site.   I have gotten
around this in the past by saving any changes, going back out of excel, loading the program again (not in administrator mode) and saving it - before sending it to the customer.   This worked until now.
For some unknown reason, the last time I sent a program to the customer and carried out the above process, the program stopped working. Originally I thought that the macro just wouldn't work on windows 7, but eventually found that it is the form button
that will no longer work when the program is moved from 8.2 to 7.
Does anyone know why there is an incompatibility between 8.2 and Windows 7 and what I should be doing to ensure that my programs work in my customers environment(windows7)?
In the meanwhile, I have changed the form button to an activex button and the program works fine in both environments.
Thanking you in advance,

there is some OP report after Windows update Dec 2014 macro stop responding ( I cant confirm if this is also related to your issue) its because security update for Office maybe conflict with the active-x that you are installed
try to
Close Excel
Start Windows Explorer.
Select your system drive (usually C:)
Use the Search box to search for *.exd
Delete all the files it finds.
Start Excel again
Open that file and save it, and try open at Windows 7
to get more detail about this issue, I suggest also contact Office forum
this case also will be solve installing kb3025036
good luck

HT4101 Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud.

Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud. I am able to see any photo I took on the iPad using the iPad camera (in iTunes, photo stream, or when I open windows explorer and browse the iPad director), however I cannot see any photos transfered from my camera to the iPad. The camera connection kit must have put my photos in a directory I cannot get to and cannot sync.

The links below have instructions for deleting photos.

I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version. Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5, the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them. They are still listed though.

I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version. Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5 (could play them), the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them. They are still listed in the iTunes library. When I look in the Summary for the iPhone, it shows Audio as only .16 GB - I have over 5 GB of songs, so what gives?
P.S. When I look at my Playlists most of the songs are greyed out. However, at the bottom of the list there is a cloud icon with a downward facing arrow. When I click on it each song starts to "load" and after a few minutes I have the songs back on in the list. I have to do this to all my playlists (I had over 100) in order to get access to all my songs. Then I did a sync and it happened again!
I use iCloud for documents and some other things (calendar, contact, etc.) but am not aware that I have anything music-wise in the cloud. Any thougnts?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

Mac desktop. 10.6.8. Text edit. Not locked. Read and write, not read only. Documents are locking when they are moved from desktop to another folder or saved directly into that folder on the server. Not happening with anyone else but me and the boss's computer so has to be in the properties for my text edit software. Techies can't figure it out after trying for two weeks. Boss can do a cut and paste and put into a new document, but that's starting to become a problem.
