How do I transfer plugins/actions from CS3 to CS4?

I am working on a newer computer for my wife. Her current computer is Windows XP Pro with Photoshop CS3, her new computer will be Vista Ultimate with CS4, both with default installation locations. I know she has alot of actions/presets/plugins she uses; my question is...
How do I transfer all of her actions/plugins from CS3 to CS4? Is there a folder I can just copy/paste?
Any information would be helpful. Thanks!

For actions it depends how they are saved.
The best thing is to save them in sets on the old computer in a folder of your choice. They can then be loaded from a copy of that folder on the new computer.
Third party plug-ins should be installed again because not all will work in 64-bit and you may need to get updates.

Migrate actions from CS3 to CS4

Hi,
I would like to migrate my actions from CS3 to CS4. The CS4 is a new install on a fresh Windows 7, from the CS3 settings I only have a backup of my disk before the new install. Of this backup I checked the "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Presets\Actions" folder but it is empty. In my CS3 I had many actions, sorted in different folders. The other presets (like for curves or the channel mixer) are there, so I am quite confident that my backup worked correctly.
Am I missing something here and can I find the actions of CS3 somewhere else or are they gone for good?
Thanks and regards, Robert

Different folders as in different action sets in the Actions panel right? did you actually use the Save Actions command from the Actions panel menu? If you didn't save them then try copying this file: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings\Actions Palette.psp to the same location but with CS4 instead of CS3 in the path

How do you transfer CS6 actions from pc to laptop or can it be done?

Hi, I have adobe photoshop CS6 extended on my PC and want to install it on the new laptop and was wondering how do I transfer the actions or brushes that I have on the PC to the laptop or can it even be done. Thanks for your time.

Try this
Photoshop Actions
Mac - Actions (not saved) Actions panel.psp Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CSx Settings
Mac - Actions (saved) Actions panel.atn Program Files/Adobe Photoshop CSx(64bit)/presets/actions
PC - Actions (not saved) Actions panel.psp Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS5/Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings
PC - Actions (saved) Actions panel.atn Program Files/Adobe Photoshop CSx(64bit)/presets/actions

How to import actions from CS3 to CS4?

I had a folder full of self-created actions in CS3.
Now that I've installed CS4 I see they did not make the transition during install.
How do I get them imported into CS4?
I can't seem to find them in any Library folders, nor can I get CS3 to run any more now that CS4 is installed.
Any pointers for someone a step above neophyte ?
Vince

Actions are in the PS folder, hope you did not toss the CS3 folder.
From the actions pallet fly out menu select Load selections and navigate to the old PS folder / Presets / Actions or Photoshop Actions (depending on the version) and select the set you want to load.
Or drag them from the old folder to the new folder, they should show up at the bottom of the fly out menu.
This and the other presets are a good thing to backup, BTW !

How does one transfer CS5 actions for use with CS6?

CS6 installation, which was uneventful, has transferred none of my actions from my copy of CS5. The CS5 actions are located in the actions folder of the APPLICATION/PHOTOSHOP CS5/PRESETS/ACTIONS. The "actions" folder in application support/adobe in my library is empty, and has always been so.
Only the CS6 default actions are located in the same folder for CS6.
I use imac i7, lion.
Note that i also have CS3 and CS4 on my machine. This due to recent upgrade to CS5 and recent upgrade to LION, and my general paranoia.
Must i load each action into CS6, one at a time?
thanks to any and all.

Re: how does one transfer CS5 actions for use with CS6?
On a Mac - There are multiple ways to do this. I have done them both ways. In order to do this you need to know where you have your actions stored, and you can move them all at once if you have them stored in the same location.
1. You can load an action ONE AT TIME into your actions palette by:
     A. Open up the action palette and click on the little arrow with 4 little horizontal lines next to it on the upper right corner of the actions palette.
     B. Select "Load Actions" and a Finder window will open up and you can search your computer through this window for your actions.
     C. Click on the action from the Finder window then click 'Open' at the bottom right of the finder window.
     D. To save these so that they appear every time you open up your actions palette, go back to the little arrow at the top right of the actions palette and when the drop down window opens- click on 'Save Actions'. It will select the location where the          actions are currently stored as the place to save them. If you want to change that path, you can do it at this time in the little path window. I just leave it, since I keep all my actions stored in the same file.
2. TO MOVE MULTIPLE ACTION SETS AT ONCE
     A. Open up CS6 (or CS5) and move the Photoshop workspace it to the right side of your computer screen so you can see your desktop on the left side.
     B. Open up your Finder search window from your dock (the square blue head icon thingy for those who are new to photoshop). Move this to the left side of your screen so you can see the Photoshop work space on the right and the Finder window          on the left. In the Finder window, navigate to the file where all your actions are stored, select all the actions in the file (command+A will select everything in the file if you are actively inside the open file) or you can select multiple files           individually by continuously holding down the command key and clicking on the different actions you want to move.
     C. With the Photoshop workspace visible on the right, and the actions palette open so you can see that the actions actually transferred - In the Finder window, click the selected actions you want to load and drag them over to the Photoshop           workspace. I did this without an image open, I just dragged them onto the empty workspace. The actions should all appear immediately in the actions palette that is open.
     D. To save these so that they appear every time you open up your actions palette, go back to the little arrow at the top right of the actions palette and when the drop down window opens click on 'Save Actions'. It will select the location where the           actions are stored as the place to save them. If you want to change that path, you can do it at this time in the little path window. I just leave it, since I keep all my actions stored in the same file.
I hope this helps.
and I hope there are no typos.

Sorry, but you cannot. If you rent a movie or show on your iPhone, you can only watch it on your iPhone. If you want to watch the movie/show on your laptop, you'll have to rent it again.

How do I transfer voice memos from my iPhone5 to iTunes?

In the Sync settings area of iTunes when the phone is connected, you check the Music area, and check off Voice Memos too. I'm not sure right now what the exact verbiage is but it is where you check off what music you want to sync.

Is it possible to transfer a voice memo to my computer and then convert that to text that can be printed?
Here is my problem. I study harbor seals and have always taken hand written notes that then must be typed into the computer when I get home from an observation. Is there any way I can dictate what I see to a voice memo and then have that translated to text. If there is which would do it best an iphone or ipad (I have neither, just a tracphone for an emergency).
Perhaps this is asking too much from the technology available but it would be a great help if I could do this.
Thanks for any help you can give!

Help Please..Until recently I have owed 2 iPod Classics - 2007 80gb and 2009 160gb (which has since been returned). How do I transfer the library from the 160 to the 80gb in iTunes using Windows Vista (ie merge the 2 libraries)? Thanks

Until recently I have owed 2 iPod Classics - 2007 80gb and 2009 160gb (which has since been returned as it had a very noisy hard drive).
How do I transfer the library from the 160gb to the 80gb in iTunes using Windows Vista.
Nothing seems to help on the Apple support pages, so any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Thanks for the reply, but not actually sure how to sync a second iPod with the library of the first, as I thought it would not recognise a new iPod for copyright reasons.
Also, the files are in a location on the pc but I had to do lots of formatting amendments in iTunes as most of the stuff was on mp3 files and the formatting was all over the place. I did not want to loose any of the work by simply asking the new iPod to look at the original file and would rather copy en masse from one device to another.
Any help or pointers greatly appreciated
Thanks
