How to correctly merge users folders from one catalog to another?

Hi gurus,
Here's the scenario we have right now and would appreciate any guidance:
Several months ago, in our 11g Test server, we upgraded our 10g production catalog to 11g and have been developing/correcting dashboards in this 11g Test server.
Now we are ready to go to production with our 11g changes. What is the correct way to merge the catalog so that at the end, I'll have an 11g Production catalog with my updated 11g dashboards but we have the users' personal content from 10g?
Specifically, my question/concerns are:
1 - Should I be using 11g Test server catalog as the base and then upgrade current 10g catalog and copy and paste just the /root/users folder into the 11g Test server catalog using Catalog Manager?
or
Should I use the upgraded 10g production catalog as the base and then copy and paste in the /root/shared folder from 11g Test server catalog using Catalog manager?
2 - What about the /root/system folder? Do I keep the 10g upgraded /system folder or the 11g test /system folder?
Thanks for your help.

Hi User,
Follow this approach,
1. Upgrade the existing prod catalog to 11g
2.Open the test catalog in Catalog Manager
3.Select the shared folder which has the new reports, goto file ->archive and save the archive file
4.Open the upgraded prod catalog, select the shared folder ->File -> Unarchive and select the saved archived file
5.Deploy this catalog in dev or test environment and verify the changes.
Regards,
Dpka

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.

How to copy a user account from one Mac to another

If I have a main user (admin) account on one Mac, and want to copy its Home Folder over to another Mac that already has user accounts on it, what is the best way to do it?
For example, if I boot the source Mac in Target Disk Mode then connect it to the other Mac, can I just drag and drop from its Users folder into the Users folder on the other Mac? And would that then appear in SysPref/Accounts, complete with names and passwords etc, or is it not that simple?
(Actually, I just checked by launching Migration Assistant, and it seems to indicate I can use it to copy User Accounts from a different Mac - is this all I need? How would I connect the two Macs for this to work?)

Slightly confusing, that article - it talks about using Migration Assistant in Lion or Mountain Lion, but in my case both computers have used Snow Leopard. Does it still apply?
(One other observation - don't you find it confusing the way Apple defines "Target Disk Mode"? It's pretty much always the case that a computer booted in this way becomes the Source computer, while the Target computer is the one it's connected to!!)

How do I move a file from one catalog to another

I created a new catalog by mistake, I imported a file to this catalog, how do I move the file to the catalog that I have been using?

You CAN export the catalog and then import and merge it to your correct catalog.
But if it's just one file, why not just delete the new catalog and reimport the one file???

How do I move a file from one catalog to another?

The ambiguity in your first question was that you didn't state which product you were on about - Photoshop?, Lightroom? Bridge? Elements? and which version of these? As I said you clarified this in your second question. I did say that I felt that you have a hidden agenda because you escalated in to insults about Adobe within 5 minutes or so of your first question. It appeared to me that what you were wanting to do right from the outset was to vent your anger at Adobe. That wasn't stated directly in any of your posts hence my opinion that you had a hidden agenda.
As Silk rooster said we are not employees of Adobe just users of their products (look for the word staff next to a users name to identify if they are a forum member or a member of staff).
Incidentally before you correct my spelling (ambig(e)uous) make sure that your own post is free from spelling and or grammatical errors. I am dyslexic and therefore rely on spellcheckers, which aren't always perfect, but hey - thanks for pointing out my shortcomings.

How to move folders from one server to another serve using unix command

Hi All,
How to move the folders from one server to another server using unix command.
scp -r armops@sjarmprd01:/ARM/scripts [email protected]:/ARM/scripts/
but it is giving an error like not a regular file .. what it means .. please let me know if any one knows about it
Thanks
Sreedhar

not a regular file .. what it meansProbably you have some fifo (named pipe) files...
Said that this has nothing to do with database (you should post on some nix forum, for example http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=135), you may try rsync* command (man rsync).

How to transfer user settings from one account to another (on the same Mac)

I'd like to create separate user accounts for "work" and "play" (so that I can do things like have separate address books, etc...). However, I already have LOTS of personalized settings (trackpad behavior, login items, etc) that I'd like to keep the same between the two accounts.
Is there a way to transfer all of the user settings from one account to another?

You'll need to copy your /Home/Library folder. Make sure you back up first before doing the following. Log out of both your Work and Play accounts. Log in to a third account with administrator privileges. Assuming you are copying from the account called "work" to the account called "play", enter the following in Terminal:
sudo rm -rf ~play/Library (this deletes Play's Library folder.)
sudo cp -R ~work/Library ~play/Library (this copies Work's Library folder to Play's folder.)
sudo chown -R play ~play/Library (this fixes permissions of Play's new Library folder.)

How do I transfer my bookmarks from one computer to another? I have Firefox Home on my phone and I can get them there, but I want to have the same bookmarks on my home computer as I do on my work computer. If I have a user name then where do I sign into Firefox, it should be that easy but I can't seem to figure it out.

Hey susanneyes,
Sounds like you want to set up Firefox Sync. This will allow you to keep all of your instances of Firefox synchronized. Just follow the steps in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync?s=sync&r=0&as=s this article] and you'll be set.
Hopefully this helps!

How can I move a clip from one movie to another

How can I move a clip from one movie to another?

If it's just a clip, you can simply go to the other project and Add Media/From Files and Folders.
But if it's a part of your movie -- say a sequence of clips or a clip that's had effects added to it -- you technically can't cut and paste betweeen projects in Premiere Elements. However, some people have been able to do it using the third party program ClipMate, available online.

How to transfer Lightroom settings from one catalog to another?

Lightroom 5. I have combined two catalogs into one "Master Catalog" per Julian Kosts tutorial ( http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adobe-evangelists-julieanne-kost/lr3-merging-individual-lightroo m-catalogs-into-a-master-catalog-/ ) without incident. However, my presets are not to be found. Could there be other issues? How Do I properly get these presets into my Master Catalog?
How to transfer Lightroom settings from one catalog to another?

Nevermind.
Per the turorials, this is suppose to occur automatically.
In the rare event that it does not, forced by lack of support through Adobe or the forums, I am relagated to resolve my problem the old fasjion way. Guessing at a solution of dragging and dropping (risking overwritting current the newer LR5 files (careful now).
I love the product but trying to get problem resolution here has been disapointing.
I'd like to retract this entire question session.
