Hotswap monitor/migrate settings?

I'm moving from current G5 to Mac pro (installing everything anew not migrating) but only have one monitor. Is it okay to hotswap 20" monitor between them?
What about transferring monitor settings?
Thanks
Mickey

Hi-
You can hot swap your monitor. It will be auto detected upon connection.
You will have to set your display preferences, as needed, in the new system.
By the way, a KVM switch is essentially hot swapping, without pulling and inserting cables. Doing it manually (pulling and inserting), you become the KVM switch!

How do I migrate settings in Illustrator after updating from CC to CC 2014?

I have just updated from CC to CC 2014 and was not given the option to migrate settings for Illustrator as I was for Photoshop. How can I do this?

I don't know if this is the easiest way to do it, but it works.
Hard Drive> Users (choose your name) > Library (if you don't see the Library - View> View Options> Show Library Folder) >Application Support > Adobe
You should see Adobe Illustrator 17 & 18 folders
Adobe Illustrator 17> en_US in this folder you will find your saved Brushes, Swatches, Symbols etc...
Open the Adobe Illustrator 18> en_US and manually place any of files from Ai 17 into the appropriate folders in Ai 18. Restart Ai 18 and check to see that everything is in place.

How do I migrate settings from CS2 to CS6?

Hi,
Being unwilling to mortgage my future to CC, I have taken the plunge and bought CS6 while it is still available. This is on Windows 7.
Is it feasible to migrate settings from CS2 to CS6 and if so how do I do it? I am not sure whether CS6 installation will automatically uninstall CS2 or require me to do it.
Thanks.

Hmmmm… My pedestrian Mac Book has the lowly Intel GMA 950 chipset with a mere 64 MB of VRAM in the form of Shared System Memory. Photoshop 13.0.5 chugs along, minus the advanced graphics capabilities or GPU processing, of course.
Until I acquired the 65-lb Mac Pro, that was my dinky Photoshop CS6 system.
I was happy to be able to run ACR 7.4 on it.
Once again, accept my most abject apologies for the confusion created by my misunderstanding.

Migrating settings from 1.5.0.53 MAIN-53.04 to MAIN-53.38 does not work

I just download the latest SQL Developer, Version 1.5.0.53 Build MAIN-53.38. When I run it it prompts to migrating settings from a previous releases. When I select the configuration directory (~/.sqldeveloper/system1.5.0.53.04) from the previous release it does not import any of my connections.
The ~/.sqldeveloper/MigrationErrorLog.xml contains only the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<log>
</log>
You can use the "export connections" in the older version and then use "import connections" in the newer version but if you have the connections organized into folders all of the folders are missing on import.

Migrating from a non- supported release (Early Adopter) to a supported release is not supported. As folders were not supported in releases prior to 1.5, these will not be migrated. Officially the only migration route supported in from 1.2.1 to 1.5.

Cannot send nor receive email on new iMac; migrated settings from MacBook

I just recently bought a new aluminum iMac. I migrated files & settings, including Mail settings from my MacBook to the iMac. Despite the copied settings, I cannot send nor receive messages on the new iMac. I have always been able to send & receive e-mail on my MacBook, so I would think the same settings should work on the iMac.
I have tried Connection Doctor, and I am getting successful connections on both the POP Account and SMTP server.
I have compared settings between the MacBook & iMac, and they are the same. My MacBook uses Tiger and doesn't have the option of default & custom ports. It is set to port 25. I have tried custom ports of 25 & 587 on the new iMac as well as the default port option. None of those seem to work.
Is there something else that could be wrong or anything else I can try? Thanks ahead of time for any assistance.

This might work:

Migrating settings doesn't work

I just updated today (October 8, 2014) and when I started the new version of AFX, it asked me if I wanted to migrate my settings from a previous version. I did, but all my workspace settings are lost. WTF else would I want to migrate over, besides my F'N workspace settings?
TEST YOUR ****** SOFTWARE before releasing it. I've told you morons about this before.

Settings other than workspaces (keyboard shortcuts, preferences, output module templates, composition settings templates, render settings templates, interpretation rules) are migrated. Workspaces are not migrated. You can manually copy them from the previous version's settings folder, though.

Dual monitor color settings seems to be messed up cs4

Hi
My daughter has this setup
AMD 9550 quad 2.2mhz machine, Windows 7 ultimate. latest updates
ATI Radeon HD 5700 gpu card (latest driver)
Two LCD monitors
          1. LG 2361V HDMI (main)
          2. Cintiq 21UX (Extended)
Both monitors are calibrated, and have the latest driver updates. It does not matter which monitor is the main one.
PS cs4 also has the
1. If i load a photo in fireworks and drag the application back and forth accross the two monitors, the image looks virtually identical.
2. If i load the same photo in PS (cs4 11.0.1) and do the same, the image looks perfect in the LG but immediately darkens when on the Cintiq.
          a. The darkening is not instantanious. It looks good for about one second before it changes.
          b. If I hover the image between the two monitors, then the darkening only is applied to half of the image.
3. If i change the preferences to not "color match" (in the performance->open GL) then the image does not darken and it remains loyal to the color profile in place. But!!!! the navigator and color selection tools remain darkened while on the Cintiq. So if she chooses a color from the tool, it paints a different color on the canvas.
          a. If I modify the color settings, then the modification affects both monitors display and the difference issue does not go away.
Ideally we want to be able to select a color from the palette and have that color be what is painted onto the canvas. We also want the image to appear as similar as they do in fireworks.
While Color Matching is checked:
On the cheaper monitor, the image and the navigation pane always has the same color appearance. when i change the color profile, the change is reflected in both the canvas and the navigation pane.
The same is true on the Centiq, but the image and navigation pane is always darker than on the other monitor.
While Color Matching is UNchecked:
The color selection tool and the navigation panel are affected but the canvas is not. But the two monitors canvases match.
So. in order for the navigation and color selction tool to match the canvas, the color matching needs to be checked.
But this creates the darkening on the cintiq. No matter what profile i choose, the cintiq is too dark. and photoshop is doing it because fireworks does not do this.
How can i set it up so that all the colors are true to the profile, and match the nav and color tools?
Thank you
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Jerry C

Thanks
@Noel
It sounds as if the monitors are using two quite different profiles, which may indicate the calibration is off a good bit on one of them and the profile was generated to compensate. The clue here is that you see a change when you move a document from one to the other, and that temporarily (while an image crosses both monitors) you see quite a difference in it.
If you drag an image in a non-color-managed application across both monitors, so that specifically part of it is shown on one and part on the other, how different do they look?
Using fireworks or MSpaint or IExplore, an image looks pretty much exactly the same on either monitor as well as when spanning accross both.
The two monitors are clibrated so that all colors match on both monitors.
http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/
The Cintiq has a better contrast ratio so the whites are slightly brighter.
But!!! If the moitors were not calibrated, then a fireworks image would look different on each screen. In fact they look exactly the same on both.
Even when the image spans accross the two screens.
It is only Photoshop that darkens the part of the image that hangs onto the Cintiq. And it is very dark.
Even in the famed "Monitor mode", the image is much darker than is is in IIE or MSPaint or Fireworks.
I dont want to disable the color profiling, as it is important to see what the target will look like.
But i do want to see what the target will look like! right now it is way to dark. No matter what profile i choose.
Also my examples are more to demonstrate the comparrison between the two monitors, but the goal is to get PS CS4 to work on the centiq. It would be nice to have the navigator and some panels on the other monitor and have the colors match, but more important is to have the colors on the cintiq look normal at all!
Thanks so far. but we are still messed up.

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.

Mac to VGA Monitor adapter settings needed

I recently moved the system to another location and the dip settings were inadvertently changed in the process.
I had them written down, but I lost them in the move.
Anyone know the settings or how to find them?
I'm using a GEM model DE770 FA monitor. The system worked really good running MAC OS9.2 with an upgrade to G4 and the Radeon 64 MB video card. I went out and bought another adapter that came with some settings, but I have tried them all to no avail. Maybe I'm not checking them correctly? Do I have to power down the machine each time I disconnect the cable and change the settings, connect and restart the machine for it to recognize a signal?
Any help on this is appreciated.
BW G3 Mac OS 9.2.x Upgraded to G4 w/ Radeon 64 MB video card

Thanks Jim,
I tried to zap PRAM, but the chime came right away after I pressed the power button, and I held the keys down until after the chime, and it chimed again...is this normal?
ponomo1997,
"Do I have to power down the machine each time I
disconnect the cable and change the settings, connect
and restart the machine for it to recognize a
signal?"
Yes.
Older computers with onboard video and a nubus
videocard and OS 7.1 would let you set one monitor as
your start up monitor and have BOTH control panels on
your startup monitor. That allowed you to see the
controls and frequency of the other monitor while you
changed settings.
I miss that feature. Now, as part of the startup
routine, the computer will auto detect the frequency
of the monitor connected and reset the monitor. A
second PCI video card would allow you the option to
start up with one monitor and test settings on the
other.
One suggestion would be to find a monitor that is NOT
multi-sync and test that. Also, consider zapping the
video parameters at startup. If the monitor is multi
sync and looking to see what frequency the computer
is set at and the computer is looking at the monitor
to see what frequency it is set at, you end up with
confusion. That is where you are at. Start up while
holding down the command + option + P + R keys. Wait
for a chime and then release.
One of my Beige G3s has to have the video PRAM reset
to the default of 640 x 480 in order for it to start
up properly with a new monitor. Once it is up and
running, I can change the frequency (pixle
resolution) using the control panel.
Good luck chancing onto the right setting for that
adapter. I take it that the new adapter did not work
either, notwithstanding the availability of the
instructions.

Monitor power settings when using HDMI to external TV

Folks
My monitor powers up just fine according to the 5 min setting I have. However, if it's projecting a movie to a TV, it never sleeps the monitor. Any way to change this behavior?
Thx

Hi,
Another workaround method is you can customize the option called: Choose what closing the lid does
in Power settings. Then choose Do nothing.
Then when you play movie through TV, you can close your laptop lid.

Migrating settings from Adobe Acrobat X to Adobe Acrobat XI

Hi,
Due to the deployment of Office 365 I need to upgrade 300+ people from Adobe Acrobat X to Adobe Acrobat XI.
Most of these users sign documents using digital signatures and therefore have a Digital ID and one or more custom Signature Appearances.
After upgrading to Adobe Acrobat XI, the Digital ID and Signature Appearances settings aren't migrated from Adobe Acrobat X.
Does anyone know whether it is possible to migrate the setting during the installation, or programmably after the installation completes?
Thanks,
Anne.

Hi Sukrit,
Thanks for taking the time to provide some advice, it is much appreciated.
Unfortunately the link you provided doesn't explain how to export/import the security settings during the installation of a new version of Adobe or programmably after the installation completes.
Regards,
Anne
