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 ?

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 !

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 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.

Problem importing actions from CS3 to CS6

Hi, I have just installed CS6 and need some actions that I made in CS3 and earlier.
Info that I read on support sited said that I should be able to import them.
I have tried the edit import actions menu.
I have tried dragging the old action set to the new version.
All to no avail.
Tried the online live help and got no where.
What I would like to try next is to instal CS4 and see if I can import the action set from CS3 and then onwards from CS4 to CS6
However the support person could not give me a link to download CS4......
Any help greatly appreciated as I really need my old actions and CS6 is a useless to me without them!

You need to load them into Photoshop to use them. Their save files can be any where on your system. Once loaded they are copied into your user id Photoshop preferences. Photoshop load no action set on its one. The default set is in Adobe default set of preferences. This is the only set in the Photoshop default Actions Palette. The action set listed in the action palette's fly-out menu are the one in Adobe Presets Actions and perhaps ones you copied into there or save into a folder Adobe set up for you user id for the current release of Photoshop your using. My advice is do not save any of your actions sets into any Adobe folder. Instead save them into a folder like "My Photoshop Actions" load them from there too or drag an drop them onto Photoshop. Once loaded as I wrote above they get copied into your user id Photoshop preferences. And will be in the Actions Palette when you shutdown Photoshop and re open Photoshop.
Photoshop does not import actions you must load them one way or an other.

How to migrate projects from CS3 to CS4? (Version Cue)

First of all, I tried to follow the steps here by 'Markus_Jasker' http://forums.adobe.com/thread/313661?tstart=30.
We are primarily a windows shop, with a small group of Mac artists. We have an Xserve with Version Cue 3.
All the artists use CS3. One of the artists upgraded to CS4. The user primarily cares about his InDesign files.
We were unsure whether the CS3 people could see the Version Cue 4 server on the Xserve, so we grabbed an extra
G5 lying around (Mac OS X Version 10.4.11) and installed Version Cue 4 on it.
Even though I turned off both VC Servers, and copied the 'com.adobe.versioncue.migration_3.1.2' folder from Version Cue 4
to Version Cue 3 and restarted both servers, I still get the message "unable to connect to Version Cue CS3 Server etc etc."
The Xserve is on 10.5.1.x and the G5 is 10.5.2.x with a 255.255.252.0 mask.
I am primarily a windows admin, so I need some help!

Hi,
It has been a while since I have had access to sun one studio 5. If I remember correctly, it was based on Netbeans 3.5.1. It turns out the Sun Java Studio Enterprise 7 release was based on Netbeans 3.6. Both of these Netbeans versions used mounted filesystems rather than the new project system. There is a migration guide from JSE 7 to JSE 8 available:
http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jsenterprise/reference/techart/jse8/intro_migration_jse8.html
I think this migration guide will apply to your situation as well.
Let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
George

Exporting site info from CS3 to CS4

How do I export my "remote info" under "manage sites" from CS3 to CS4? I have about 30 sites under "manage sites" and would hate to have to dig up all the passwords after the upgrade. I used the "export" button in CS3, but it didn't bring in the remote info.

1. In CS3, open Site Manager
2. Select the sites you want to Export
3. Click Export and select a KNOWN location into which to write the *.ste files
4. Open CS4.
5. Open Site Manager
6. Click IMPORT, browse to and select the site files you just exported and click OK.
Such fundamental questions as this are always answered in DW's F1 Help. You'd have been done an hour ago if you had looked there.

LR2 and importing keywords from CS3 Bridge

I've just started a 30 day LR trial and need some guidance, please, on successfully importing keywords from CS3 Bridge so that the complete heirarchy survives intact.
I've just imported the keywords to LR2 and found the heirarchy is mostly destroyed.
Also, Bridge allows you put a keyword inside "[ ]" (square brackets) if you want/need that word in the heirarchy but do not want it to be copied to the metadata. After importing to LR2, all the square brackets have gone.
I've imported some photos into LR2 but, when I look at their keywords, all the words which were within square brackets (and so not visible in the metadata in Bridge) are now visible in the metadata in LR2.
Anyone found a solution to this, please? I really don't want to have to re-keyword everything if there's another way.
Thanks, John Walmsley

Ginger
I ran a test for you. Started up my old computer that has windows XP OS. Took a photo and added a keyword by right clicking as your previous post outlined. I then looked at photo in Bridge CS3 on old machine. There was no keyword. Copied to flash drive and looked at photo on Vista computer with Bridge CS3. Still no keyword. Ran a search on Vista advanced for keyword on flash drive, and it gave a hit.
So my conclusion is that the keyword is there, but Bridge does not read the XP generated keyword. It will read a keyword generated by same method in Vista. Don't know what else to suggest. Don't have CS4 so do not know it that works or not.
Perhaps with these clues someone else can figure it out.
Good luck

How to import Audiobooks from MacBook to Ipad2

How to import AudioBooks from Macbook OS 10.4.1 onto an Ipad2?
I have many audiobooks which I am currently attempting to have re-loaded via the Apple Support network and have requested that these Audiobooks purchased in good faith between 2008 - 2009 be made available for download on our recently purchased Ipad2 via ITunes. This download procedure has worked very well for the 18 songs purchased in the same period. However, I have followed a discussion on the Apple Support community by TASA posted on the Nov 13 2011 and have made a similar polite request to the Apple Support afficionados, so far with no success. My question is this How can i transfer the Audiobook files which appear as m4b across to the Ipad2. I cannot sync the MacBook because the operating system is a mismatch. Attempting to use a camera connection kit by Apple and using an SD card to copy a single audi file has not worked. What other recourse of action is there?
It is all very well suggesting that Audiobooks can only be downloaded once, as has been mentioned by a discussion pundit. However this was not in the Terms and Conditions from 2008, of which I have a copy.

Back in 2008 all media purchases from the iTunes Store were subject to a one time only download policy. iTunes would have regularly reminded you to backup your purchases unless you chose to suppress such messages.
With your audiobooks in an iTunes library you can take the opportunity to make secondary backup copies now on removable media or networked storage.
I don't understand what you mean by this:
I cannot sync the MacBook because the operating system is a mismatch.
If you download and install the latest version of iTunes to your computer it should be capable of communicating with the device and will let you copy the audiobook files across. If the iPad is set up to sync with a different library/computer then copy the audiobook files to that. If your iPad is not set to sync with any library, and your concern is that you will lose data if you attempt to associate it with the library on your computer then this method should work for you...
You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.

Copy favorites from CS3 to CS4

Is there a way to copy favorites, keywords, other settings from CS3 to CS4?
Thanks,

Hi Mogur203,
Sorry, but there is no way to copy your CS3 Favorites over to CS4. However you are able to copy your keywords over if they did not get imported during your first launch.
1. Launch CS3, Click on the flyout menu in the keyword panel
2. Select export, Save the text file
3. Launch CS4, Click on the flyout menu in the keyword panel
4. Select import, select the text file that you saved from CS3
This should complete the import of all the keywords from CS3 to CS4.
Please let me know what other settings you are referring to and I will let you know if you can copy them over or not. Please let me know if you have any other question

How to import mailboxes from Time Machine to new Mac

I had Time Machine backing up our old G5. We got a Mac Pro back in November and I never was able to import the mail from the G5 to the Mac Pro so I left it alone and just kept using mail on the old G5. Well, the G5 took a dump last monday. I currently have the Time Machine backup for that computer connected to our Mac Pro (but not using it as backup yet). So, the mail from the G5 should be on the Time Machine backup right? If so, can I import it into Mail on the Mac Pro?
I also pulled one of the hard drives from the G5 and have it in the Mac Pro in the 2nd bay just to make sure that HD wasn't dead. It works fine and I tried importing the .mbox files from that drive but it appears that all the mail on that particular drive are from like 2006. So, again, I need to find out how to import mail from the Time Machine drive. Any thoughts?
10.7.4
Mail 5.2

Back up what data? Mail data? I don't have any yet. I haven't used Apple Mail on this Mac Pro yet.
Edit: Launching Mail and holding Option right afterwards does nothing. Holding down option and then launching Mail does nothing.
Oooooh.... launching time machine while holding down option......
Edit again.... I don't have a Time Machine menu because that disk is not currently set up as time machine for the Mac Pro yet. I don't want to use it as a backup for this computer yet. I just want to be able to pull some of the backed up contents from it until I'm set.

How To import collections from Bridge cs6 To Bridge CC

How To import collection from Bridge cs6 To Bridge CC??
thx

How To import collection from Bridge cs6 To Bridge CC??
A collection is a bunch of aliases to the original files in their original place. If you have upgraded to CC on the same machine you can use the same collection, on a different machine it will possible not find the correct location again.
On a Mac the path for the saved collections is : User / library/ application Support / Adobe/ BridgeCS6 / collections. Inhere are the saved collections showing the names you gave them. You can copy these collection files to the same location in Bridge CC.
If you have a different machine you best first choose the collection and add a keyword with the name of the collection to all the files in this particular collection so you can use the find command to easily recreate the collection on your new machine.
Maybe someone with more knowledge of Windows can show you the correct path but it should be something similar as on a Mac.

How to import videos from iPhone 4 to PC?

I'm trying to get a video that I recorded and edited with my iPhone 4 and iMovie, on my PC so I can share it with others. It won't email because the file size is too big (but the video is only 1:20...) and I uploaded it to YouTube but they removed the audio because it's copyright infringment. I've going through My Computer and a few other things and all the photos get imported but when I try and play an imported video it won't load and just freezes. Any tips?
