Import settings to another

I have two servers with two deployment share.What should I do if I want to import ones settings to another share without write those same things such as "if statement words" again.
Thanks

If you want to duplicate your deploymentshare, robocopy from share 1 to share 2
If you want to copy customsettings.ini and bootstrap.ini take the files from the "deploymentshare\control" folder from share 1 to share 2
If you want to duplicate / copy task sequences, take the TS.xml file from your "deploymentshare\control\<ts_id>" folder from share 1 to share 2 and copy that file in the desired ts_id folder.
Last option is to use linked deployment share's only for this replication. And create a selection profile by which your replicate from share 1 to share 2 and choose "merge" instead of "replace" option.

Importing Settings from another Aperture Library?

Hi folks!
I want to create a new Aperture Library to start again instead of cleanning up the one I already have, but when I create a new Library and import the photos the adjustments I did to the same photos but located on the other library doesn't applies or show up in the photos of the new library. Is there a waty to import the adjustments of an old library to a new one?
Thanks in advance,

Léonie has provided an excellent answer to your question -- I would like to propose a different solution to your problem.
First, though, we should confirm what your problem is. From your post, it seems that your Aperture _organization_ is a mess, and you want to clean it up. Your proposed solution is to start with a new Aperture Library, and populate it with the Images (including adjustments) that are in your current Library.
An important thing to take from this is that Aperture is _working well_, just, from a human perspective, disorganized.
In other words, you have no computer hardware or software issues you are trying to resolve (Aperture has no idea whether your organization works for you or not).
Instead of creating a new Library and then working with two Libraries, you might be better served by making your entire current organizational structure a child of a top-level Folder in your current Library. That way it is always available and capable of being hidden (use the disclosure triangle that accompanies every Folder to hide and show), and it remains both easy and frictionless to move your Images/Albums/Folders/Projects from the old structure to the new structure.
When you have completed building your new structure, there should be nothing left under the Folder you created for your old structure that you want to save. At that point, delete that top-level Folder. Voila! -- you have the new Library you want.
If your current Library organization is so much a mess that it is going to be easier to "start from scratch" (retaining, of course, all the adjusted Versions), then I suggest using Projects View (set to ungrouped, sorted by date ascending) to merge all your existing Projects into a series of large Projects based solely on date -- keep these to about 1,000 Images each -- and then in essence going through each of these "super-Projects" and breaking them into the Projects that should have been set up all along, viz.: Shoots. Once you have re-sorted all of your Images into new, consecutive, shoot-based Projects, the rest of your Library organization should be much easier.
You can accomplish the same thing, more simply, in Photos View (sort by date ascending; select consecutive Images, "File→New→Project" with "include selected" checked). The users I've worked with have been more comfortable seeing their existing Projects (in Projects View) rather than really starting fresh with every Image in Photos View.
Two notes:
This is based on first creating a sensible and consistant Project-based grouping of your Images.
Your Images contain the adjustments needed to make them. Nothing here changes that. All you are doing is changing the containers that hold your Images. (If the Image is table-setting, you are putting down a new table-cloth, and centerpiece, and table, and building a new dining salon, and castle, and grounds -- without changing the table-setting at all.)
This is complicated, but doesn't endanger your data (and, of course, you DO have a backup, right?). Post back with any questions.

Import settings of third-party programs

When Tiger is being clean-installed, the installer asks me whether I want to import settings from another volume. Does the installer of Tiger import settings of third-party programs in addition to the settings of the OS?

"Does the installer of Tiger import settings of third-party programs in addition to the settings of the OS? "
Yes, as all application preferences are stored within the user's home folder.

Import tags from another catalogue without develop settings

How do I import tags from another catalogue but not the develop settings of each image?
Here's whats going on:
I started with 5000 images on a hard drive. I gave a copy to someone else working on the project.
I physically moved images into real folders and edited all the shots.
She left all the images where they originally were and tagged each image.
I want to combine her tags with the edits that I've done, with the images in their new locations I've made.
I have a copy of her catalogue file.
I tried importing her catalogue into mine- which will pull her metadata tags, but only also with pulling her develop settings which resets all my work.
How can I import ONLY her metadata tags?
I can't open her catalogue and write the tags into XML sidecars because I've moved the images from where her catalogue says they are.
I realize we should have done this differently from the beginning, but with that being said- if I could import only her metadata tags then that should work. But Lightroom 4 only gives the options of importing BOTH metadata and develop settings.
Any ideas?

One option (backup your catalog first):
* Import her catalog (apply metadata and develop changes), which adds a "Paste Settings" step to the edit history.
* Restore previous develop settings using ScrewAutoSync, to roll back the settings by one step, to pre-"Paste Settings" state. - just make sure you *don't* do this to photos that weren't changed by the catalog import. One way to do that is to apply a no-op (do nothing) preset to all photos before importing the catalog (that way if you inadvertently roll 'em back one, they'll be the same as they were). You must create a no-op preset by hand, or use this:

There are probably other options.

How to export usb controller custom assignment settings to another computer

Hello everybody
is there any way to export Logic 9's USB controller assignments to another computer setup, to work with same controllers bought from a local music store, with even up to 7 usb controllers in one setup? This way, with a preference export file type of method, time would be saved lightyears by just choosing some "import settings file" function and *click*, every pot in those multiple controllers would do the intended function on the other system too.
Example scenario,
computer 1) MacBook + 7 different usb controllers wanted to by exported assignment-wise (2 x Behringer BCF2000 and 3 x BCR2000, Presonus Faderport and Novation Nocturn
computer 2) MacBook Pro + 7 different usb controllers wanted to be exported assignment-wise (2 x Behringer BCF2000 and 3 x BCR2000, Presonus Faderport, Novation Nocturn + some other random USB controller in the chain also (wanted to be left outiside any assignment compromises)
I don't know what information of controller devices Logic saves into different files for recalling purposes, and how accurate device-identifying-wise the assignment files are, but how could I make "computer 2" controllers do the same fader/vpot/button functions as on "computer 1" using those same products over there, and still leave that existing extra eight'd controller on "computer 2" left as it is/was?
Ps. If there IS a file exportable for instant multi-controller configuring this scale, does the actual physical connecting order into USB hubs (all these devices could even by connected via single USB-hub cable into MacBook?) change the file's workability, I mean if I'd swap a few controllers into each other's places on the USB hub, would that smoke that preference file's workability whole together then?
THANKS for every reply, Really, REALLY, appreciate it

Import Settings not working

I have been trying to Import all settings from another project: File>Project Settings>Import Settings.. (all boxes) ticked - then navigate to another Logic Song and Open... nothing happens to the original.
I want to end up having imported the Midi Environment, Audio Environment and the same Arrange Page layout into the new song.
For some reason Import Settings does not do this - am I missing something?
thanks in advance

hi Audiophilia!
this is sometimes caused by a corrupt itunes preferences file. folks can often get their custom import settings to stick by rebuilding their preferences file. (make a note of any custom settings you have though ... the rebuild will set all preferences back to their defaults.)
although it's about a different issue, the preferences file rebuild technique is given in this User Tip:

Differences between import settings

Can someone explain the different import settings in iTunes? All I am finding is very general information. I want excellent sound, but I am concerned about using too much disk space. However, if I can hear the difference, I will use more space.
Am I correct that once a song is imported with a given setting, the only way to change it would be to reimport the song?
Thanks,
Ben

*I want excellent sound, but I am concerned about using too much disk space. However, if I can hear the difference, I will use more space.*
Of the various options iTunes gives, AAC and MP3 are compressed formats so you lose some quality but gain space. AIFF (CD) and WAV are uncompressed so you gain quality at the expense of space. Apple Lossless falls somewhere in between, doesn't compress as much as AAC and MP3 so you gain some space but not as much, however it is claimed to give a quality which is the equal to CD. Of the compressed formats AAC is less widely used at present, if you have a non Apple music player or a newer in-car CD player then MP3 would be the most compatible compressed format and AIFF the most compatible uncompressed one: iTunes Encoding Strategies
*Am I correct that once a song is imported with a given setting, the only way to change it would be to reimport the song?*
No, songs can be converted in iTunes but it' is preferable where possible to re-rip the songs if they were previously imported and compressed from an original uncompressed form such as CD. In fact converting from one lossy format to another (MP3 to AAC for example) can result in even more quality loss. It's a bit like photocopying a photocopy, the farther you get away from the original the lower the quality.
Have a look at this article, you'll get an extensive comparison of the AAC and MP3 formats and bit rates benchmarked against CD format: Planet of Sound - Quality of AAC audio and MP3

Custom Import settings (MP3) not working?

I downloaded itunes today having read the help guides that I could d/l files in MP3 format. I changed the custom import settings as per the help guide and purchased music - only to find the downloads are still in m4p format & as such are no good for my mp3 player.
Right clicking & converting doesn't work as they are protected.
I am hoping this is just an error on the custom set up on my part, but reading this forum I did read about protected and Plus purchases, which I did not see in the help guide before I bought the music.
So, my question is: can the protected files be downloaded with the customized MP3 encoder settings or am I completely limited to Plus purchases?
Thanks!

The import setting have no effect on store downloads, all iTunes store downloads are AAC (MP4). The import settings are used to convert the songs imported from CD or to convert unprotected songs in iTunes, not for choosing a format to download song from the store.
You can't convert standard iTunes copy protected songs, only the iTunes Plus purchases can be directly converted to another format. Where possible if you need to convert you should go for iTunes Plus tracks. The only thing you can do with standard songs apart from playing them in iTunes or on an iPod/iPhone is burn them to Audio CD. You can use that CD just like any regular one. If you need songs that will play on a non Apple player you'd be better looking around for other stores that provide unprotected MP3 downloads.

ITunes preferences general import settings mp3encoder not working

I have searched looking to import a CD as an mp3 so that I can store it on an external harddrive. I have set iTunes to import as mp3 encoder, but when I allow iTunes to import CD to library or click no, either way, the file shows up as an AIFF-C kind on Finder. I can convert to mp3 in iTunes device>copy, but then it won't paste onto external harddrive. Can someone help me get a store bought CD onto an external harddrive as an mp3? But the preferences setting doesn't seem to take. I ensure that I click "ok" twice. Thank you.

ITunes Preferences: Import Settings: Custom causes crash

I am trying to change my import settings to MP3 with a custom bitrate, but every time I try to access that, it crashes. I have trashed the iTunes plist files, but that did not help. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

FWIW, you're not alone - I am hitting this bug too.
version: iTunes 10.0.1 (22)
OS: MacOS 10.6.4
machine: iMac 27", Core i7, 8GB.
I did find a workaround just now:
In my experience, when you choose "Custom..." from the "Settings:" drop list, the custom settings window flickers (as in, appears/disappears) rapidly for a couple of seconds before iTunes finally crashes and you are prompted to send a support dump to Apple.
I have found that after selecting "Custom..." and seeing the flickering custom settings window, if I very quickly hit and release Command-Tab to switch to another application (in this case Safari, with an open browser window - not sure if it makes a difference), instead of iTunes crashing, I will see iTunes bouncing away in the Dock as if it has something to say to me, and when I Command-Tab back to it, the custom settings window is sitting there, not flickering, and I have now successfully made changes to the AAC import settings in this way.
The weird thing is, I found this out a few minutes back as I was composing iTunes feedback to Apple stating how to reproduce the bug in a Safari window, and so I was carefully noting what steps I needed to take to cause the bug... after seeing the flickering custom settings window, I Command-Tab'd away from iTunes to Safari, and in doing so stumbled upon this workaround.
I hope this is of help to you,

HT1473 After cd is downloaded to iTunes on my computer do I need to touch "Import Settings"?

After CD is downloaded to my computer through iTunes do I touch the "import settings" ?

While the reply you've had so far is correct, it misses the fact that the Import Settings determines which format iTunes will use to import from CD.
So to address the specific question you asked, and judging by the article you were reading (Adding music and other content to iTunes) ...
You should choose which Import Setting you are going to use to import the CD, before you begin importing.
The relevance of the Import Settings after importing is when you want to convert an existing file from one format to another. For example, suppose you import a CD using m4a (AAC) format. But you then want to to add that song to another brand of media player which cannot play m4a files. The answer would be to convert the original file to MP3 (which is a universal format). However, iTunes' convert feature converts to the format used for importing from CD. So you would need to change the format to do that; from AAC Encoder (which you used to import the CD), to MP3 - using the Import Settings. (The Import Settings implies that it's from CD and makes no reference to converting existing files). Conversion creates a second file, it does not destroy the existing AAC file.

ITunes AAC import settings relative to QuickTime Pro settings

QuickTime Pro has the following two additional AAC import settings that iTunes does not have:
Quality: Faster, Fast, Normal, Better, Best
Encoding Strategy: Average Bit Rate, Variable Bit Rate, Variable Bit Rate Constrained, Constant Bit Rate
iTunes does have a Use Variable Bit Rate check box, though.
Which values for these settings does iTunes use? Is it different if you have purchased QuickTime Pro? Wlll the settings in QuickTime Pro affect iTunes?
I tried converting the same WAV file in both iTunes & QuickTime Pro. I varied the settings in QuickTime Pro, and used VBR in iTunes. The closest files that I generated in QuickTime Pro used Normal Quality with either Average Bit Rate or Variable Bit Rate (though I didn't try every permutation of settings). Both files were different than the iTunes file, however.
Thanks for any info in advance,
Ross

Import Settings have disappeared from Advanced Preferences Tab!

I'm running Windows XP and the submenus have all disappeared from the Edit->Preferences->Advanced menu.
Any suggestions? Other than Apple test new software before releasing it?

Have found the answer to my query.
My default setting was "Custom" and this is what was showing in the pull-down menu when "Import Settings" was clicked.
Now realise that you have to select another setting first, High or Higher Quality and then select Custom AGAIN to get the change/edit dialogue box for whatever mode you wish to import with.
