How do you move brushes/actions from CS4 to CS5?

Hi. I've been using Photoshop CS4 Extended and have a ton of actions, styles, brushes, and other custom settings that I'd like to now import into CS5 Extended. Is there a tool for doing this? If not, how do you manually accomplish this task? Thanks.

It depends which folder you assigned them to,but as an example: Program Files > Adobe > Photoshop CS4 > Presets > Brushes
Select your custom brush sets using the Shift arrow keys or Ctrl-click with your mouse to select the sets that are scattered.
Ctrl-C to copy
Open the CS5 presets > Brushes folder from there and use Ctrl - v to paste the sets into that folder.
The best suggestion I have heard so far is to keep a seperate Presets folder for custom stuff in the Adobe folder and simply load them from the Brushes, Actions and Styles menu.
That way you can get at them no matter the version of CS.

    How do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

    An "iTunes account" is an online account you use for buying music, like a bank account.  An iTunes collection is the media you see when you open iTunes. Which do you mean?
    If it is two computers, it would also help to know where these are located. Are they on the same local network? If they are, try Home Sharing (and you have control of both and you aren't just trying to get music fro your computer to your friend's computer in another state).  If they are not, you'll have to use an external hard drive or flash drive.
    Is this on a PC? Your computer information says Windows but you posted this in the iTunes for Mac forum.

  • How can you move the objects from one server to another?

    how can you move the objects from one server to another?

    Hi,
    Collecting objects for Transporting
    1. rsa1->transport connection
    2. left panel choose 'object type', middle panel choose 'infocube' and 'select objects'
    3. then choose your infocube and 'transfer'
    4. will go to right panel, choose collection mode 'manual' and grouping only 'necessary objects'
    5. after objects collection finished, create request
    6. If they are $TMP, then change the package.
    7. When you click the Save on the change package, it will prompt for transport. Here you can provide an existing open transport request number, or if you like here itself you can create a new one.
    8. You can check the request in SE09 to confirm.

    Lets say you are transporting from BWD to BWQ
    Step 1: In BWD go to TCode SE10
    Step 2: Find the request and release it (Truck Icon or option can be found by right click on request #)
    Note: First release the child request and then the parent request
    Steps below are to import transport (generally done by basis )
    Step 1: In BWQ go to Tcode STMS
    Step 2: Click on Import queue button
    Step 3: Double Click on the line which says BWQ (or the system into which transport has to be imported)
    Step 4: Click on refresh button
    Step 5: High light the trasnport request and import it (using the truck icon)

    Can't find out how to copy my own default actions from CS4 to CS5. I have found something called "imported" actions in CS4 and copied those - which worked - but I have other default actions that I cannot find out to copy from CS4 to CS5.

    How do I move/copy my old actions from the CS4 actions folder to the CS5 one?
    Where is the location of those folders on my system?
    Many thanks!
    If you have them in the standard location for CSX they will be in:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CSX/Presets/Actions/
    Where 'X' is 4 or 5.

  • How do you move an iphone from one mac to a new mac when both are using Itunes Match

    I have an Imac (Mountain Lion) with two users sharing an Itunes account (Ver 11).  We each have iphones syncing to the computer (and to icloud separatly). I have just activated Itunes match on the IMac and on both phones.  I just bought a new MacBookPro and have activated Itunes match on it so I am sharing Itunes. Now, I want to move one of the iphones to the new MacBook and have it backing up to that computer instead of the Imac.  How should I proceed with synching the phone with the new computer?  How about the photos on the iphone?  Will they just load into the iphoto library on my new MacBook Pro. 
    Also, can I still synch the phones manually and move over playlist from Itunes to the phone?  I am assuming that when you turn off itunes match on the phone those playlists will be active.  I want to make sure that say, when I am on a plane or have no wifi or cell, that I can still use the phone as an Ipod.  With Itunes match you are streaming and always need a signal.  There has to be a way to retain the simple music player functionality, right?  

    There's too much above for me to specifically answer your questions, but I'll assume from the title that you're basically trying to sync to a new computer.  So here are some articles to help you.

  • How do I move an action from one computer to another?

    I have created a rather complex action on my laptop computer, and I'd like to copy it and move it to my desktop machine. How can I do that?

    It's pretty straightforward
    Save it inside Photoshop to the location of your choice on the laptop. You can't save individual actions but you can save it as a set.
    Then navigate to the folder where you saved it and drag-copy it onto a flash drive, or burn it to CD or DVD, or email it to yourself. Copy it to the locatio0n of your choice on the desktop computer.
    Then use "Load Action" in the Actions palette inside Photoshop on the other computer to navigate to where you put the action set, and Load it.
    Done.

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

  • How do you move text messages from contact to contact

    Recently a friend of mine changed their phone number so I removed their old number and put in their new one. The text messages that I received from them before this change is now labeled as the the old number. I have 2 questions:
    1. Is it possible to move text messages from that old number to this new one?
    2. Can I put the old number under the contact but label it "old number"? If so, when I text in that screen again will it go to the old number or the new one?
    Thanks

    Just my 2 cents...
    1) As far as I know, those text messages are attached to THAT phone number. There is no way to assign them to another number.
    2) You could certainly add the number as another number for your friend. This would atleast TITLE that thread, so you knew who the conversation was with. However, again, those texts and that THREAD is tied to that "old" phone number. Therefore, if you reply in that thread, the messages are going to be sent to the old number.
    I would just recommend adding the number to the contact, so you have it labled if you forget who it was or something, but then just start a new thread with the friend?!..

  • How do you move Lightroom files from old iMac with Lightroom 4 to new iMac with Lightroom 5?

    Recently bought a new iMac and installed latest version of Lighroom 5. Tried unsuccessfully to move my picture files from my old iMac with Lightroom 4 to the hard drive of my new computer which has latest Lighroom software. Ended up with 2,000 pictures that are duplicates and the keywords did not transfer with the picture files. Can anyone advise best way to resolve this problem?

    That is a very good tutorial. Installing a newer version of Lightroom on the new computer will involve Lightroom creating a copy of your old catalog that is compatible with the new version. But it should be very painless.

  • Why can't I do batch actions from CS4 or CS5 Bridge now when I could before?

    Something has changed in my functions for doing batch actions in Bridge.  In CS5 Bridge I try to do a simple batch action of saving a DNG file as a jpg and closing the file.  When I attempt this I get a message saying 'The command "Save" is currently not available.
    I try to do the same thing in CS4 Bridge.  I go to the Tools menu and look for Photoshop in the drop down menu but it's not there.  This is how I do batch action processing with my Windows version of CS4 Bridge.  I am confused about what has changed when I was able to do batch actions routinely in CS4 and CS5 Bridge on my Mac.

    Something has changed in my functions for doing batch actions in Bridge.  In CS5 Bridge I try to do a simple batch action of saving a DNG file as a jpg and closing the file.  When I attempt this I get a message saying 'The command "Save" is currently not available.
    Batch using tools menu from Bridge to reach Photoshop should work as expected in both CS4 and CS5. If not then there is something wrong on either your system or install.
    Go to Bridge CS5 preference and look for the section Start Up Scripts and see if there is still a Start Up Script for Photoshop CS5 present and with a checkmark in front for activation. If not try first to restart bridge holding down option key and choose refresh preferences. This should retrieve the original Start Up scripts again.
    If your command save as is not available check the action and see what the save path for that acton is. If it is a copied action from an other system changes are that it still contains the save path for the old drive and if the script can't find it it provides a warning message.
    Also check if the drive you save to has both read and write permission.

  • How do you move  many "Folders" from one Catalog to "one" other Catalog?

    When I first start using LR, I did not know anything about catalog.
    After 5000 photos, everything is in the Lightroom Catalog.Ircat (by the way, what does Ir stand for?)
    Some photos are done in the office (work related for PowerPoint). Many others are done at home.
    Now I have learned to export a folder (containing birthday photos) to a new catalog in my external USB drive and deleted the folder from the laptop HD, I have done another folder (containing party photos) to yet a new catalog in my external USB drive.
    My question is: How do I set up one Home.Ircat in the USB HD and move all my Home related folders to the external drive leaving all my work related folders as it in the laptop? Then, when I want to see my home photos, I won't have to deal with relaunching new catalogs every time I want to see something. Do you understand what I am trying to accomplish? (exactly, my boss won't buy me a bigger HD for the laptop, sucks!)
    I am sure this is very simple. Please help.
    Eddie

    Thank you. Wish they had said Lrcat!
    I can export folders into a new LR catalog, but if I export 10 folders, I ended up with 10 catalogs and each catalog contains only one (1) single folder.
    What I like to do is to create a new catalog, such as Home.lrcat and move the folders over from Lightroom Catalog.lrcat so now one single Home.lrcat can contain 10 folders of home photos.
    How do I do that?
    Please help.

    I guess you mean whether I would be able to add one of the iPads to the new AC Mac by putting it in Restore mode and supervising it from that Mac? That will probably work. My problem is, that I've done that with the whole batch (60+ as I said earlier) when moving to a dedicated account within my own PowerBook some time ago. That takes an awfull lot of time, because it involves doing manual tweaking per iPad and adding the purchased apps again (in the Netherlands we don't have VPP so that is a manual process).
    I would really rather have the settings transfered and continue working on the Mac Mini than starting all over again.

  • How Do You "Move" Items/Applications from the Mac Hard Drive?

    Hi,
    As the subject line suggests I need to "move" things from my regular Mac Hard Drive to the additional Hard Drive I installed. My normal (forgive my lack of technical talk) hard drive is almost full. I would like to move things like iTunes, iPhoto etc to my new hard drive (1TB) so that I can free up space on my current more regularly used hard drive. Is there an easy way to do this?
    Ali

    There's various approaches you can take. Personally I would try to leave applications and the system on the main drive and just move data files to another drive. Some applications really want to be run from the main drive and will become cranky if you put them elsewhere because things aren't where they expect them to be.
    Moving files is often just a matter of dragging them to the new place. Note that if this new place is another drive the files get copied and you will have to delete the originals from the original drive once you are done copying.
    Applications can have a complex structure with bits and pieces of files all over the place, some may be invisible. While these can be copied, as I said before it is often best to leave them on the main drive.
    Just for your information, you posted your software question in the Apple.com > Support > Discussions > Power Mac G5 > Power Mac G5 (tower) hardware questions area. Your computer information says you are running a Mac Pro and Snow Leopard (which won't run on a G5). It doesn't really matter in this case but if you have a platform specific question in future, for fastest response you might want to make sure it gets into the correct forum.
