Lightroom 5 catalog. Retrieving user presets and plug-ins.

Got a new Macbook Pro, and all my data from my old Macbook is on my new hard-drive. I transferred my old Lightroom 5 catalog on my new Macbook and when I tried to open it, none of my User Presets nor Plug-ins such as; VSCO were there. How can I get these back? Thanks

Presets are found in your user Library folder. You'll need to open Finder, and click Go, then hold down the Option key to enable "Library" in the menu. Click Library, then follow the path:
/users/yourname/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/
Within this folder, you'll find subfolders with all your presets and templates. Copying folder by folder is the best way to make sure you get everything you need. Make sure you keep the presets and templates within the exact same folders on the new machine.
Plugins are best migrated by re-installing.

Why does Photoshop CS open-load presets and plug-ins-then freeze?

Photoshop was working great an hour ago. I closed my project, went to begin a new one, now it loads presets and plugins, reads done, yet it freezes and nothing opens.
I have plenty of RAM and memory, I am running windows 7.
I tried clearing the presets by holding down CTRL+ALT+SHFT - But still no luck.
Any guiding help would be greatly appreciated.

It must be a faulty plug-in that's causing this issue. What version of CS are you running? If it is CS6, have you installed the 13.0.1 update?
In Photoshop, can you go to Help > System Info, 'Copy' the contents and paste it here for us to diagnose your issue please?

That is deplorable. A software manual or user guide is only as good as its index.
But there are more dollars to be made from Adobe's Classroom in a Book series.

Technical question: Is it possible to work on the same Lightroom catalog across two computers and have the catalog sync? If so, how??

Technical question:
Is it possible to work on the same Lightroom catalog across two computers and have the catalog sync? If so, how??
Here's a little more information on what I am trying to do.
I have a desktop computer with 4tb worth of pictures that has Lightroom and Photoshop on it. I also have a laptop with Photoshop and Lightroom. I would like to be able to edit those same pictures with their current edits that are currently on my desktop on my laptop. If this can be done, I'm sure I need to be on the same wifi network for my laptop to be able to access my desktop's photo library. I am technically savvy enough to map a network drive, but how do I get my two Lightroom catalogs to sync when I make a change on one of my computers? Would i be working only on one catalog? Or two separate catalogs that would need to be manually synced to the other computer? Would it be beneficial to put my lightroom catalog on something like dropbox?
I'd appreciate any information or tutorials if someone knows how to do this.

I do this by having my LR catalog and photos on an external drive that I swap between the two computers. I am on Windows and have the same drive letter assigned to the drive on both computers.
Because the photos are on a portable drive I back up the portable drive to another hard-drive every night or after important work, because portable drives are susceptible to damage or loss.

Videos will no longer play and add-ons and plug-ins say up to date?

My computer no longer plays videos-- whether on facebook or youtube... facebook videos get a tiny square but never open to play-- youtube screen where video should be is blank... all add-ons and plug-ins say up to date. I have comcast internet. Thank you

Please try two things, please clear the storage for the flash plug in by right clicking where the video should be and clicking "Global settings" and navigate to storage. Clear the stored data and restart Firefox.
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

If you are absolutely sure that this is the problem then you should turn the airport off.

HELP! Where should I put my codecs and plug-ins!?

I do a bit of amateur editing, and I have a bunch of codecs and plug-ins. And a few months ago, I realized I MIGHT have been putting them in the wrong folder!
Macintosh HD / Library / Quicktime
So... I "copied all" and I pasted into the OTHER folder that seemed to have some codecs and plug-ins:
Macintosh HD / System / Library / Quicktime
Then, I "copied all" from THAT folder into the other folder, not overwriting duplicates.
I DO remember that there were some in BOTH folders before I started adding...
HELP! Where should they all go?
tia,

Um, mpeg2, Divx, etc... flip and perian are fine, but don't come anywhere NEAR allowing you to play the totality of formats out there.
However, I guess my question should have been, which ones are "Apples" and which ones aren't... I'd love to NOT have duplicates in both folders.
Is there anywhere that lists the "default" Apple Quicktime Pro codecs and plug-ins that should be in that "apple only" folder?

Sample and Plug Ins, and Knobs oh my!

So I am still a total noob to this. I have used workstations and synths for the majority of my career but with space and weight being an issue, I am looking to use my midi more and more for live gigs. I have a couple of questions.
1) In MainStage, how can I assign a recording I did in logic(sample) to one of my drum pads on my midi controller? Could I made the pad a different note like a c#0 and have the sample trigger when i hit that c#0 pad, while my key is setup c1-whatever.
2) I downloaded studio 2 from Presonus and there's some sounds I like in there. How do I load them into MainStage?
3) Finally I have my setlist all setup. Is there a way to instead of manually clicking on my laptop to switch between different parts of the song I have setup, to just use a knob on my midi device?
Btw I have MainStage 3, M audio Axiom 61 Pro.
Thanks so much to anyone that replies, it is much appreciated!

User presets and external plug-ins missing after V 2.6 upgrade

I just upgraded to V2.6 and noticed that all my user Presets for Develope and Print Modules have gone missing. It also happened to all the third party plug-ins software. While the software can be re installed, are the missing user presets gone forever? Isn't LR intelligent enough to leave the user presets alone during an upgrade? Doesn't LR back them up like the catalogue files are backed up? How can I prevent this from happening for any future release upgrade? All this is counter productive. Appreciate any suggestions.Thank you.

Dear Ian Lyons
You are spot on, no wonder you are the Community Professional and a member for over four years. Some of my presets are in the Lightroom Preset folder and unchecking the Store Presets with Catalog checkbox revealed the presets and by copying the rest of the presets into the same folder all my presets are now visible and better than before. Gotta go now as it is back to business as usual with nothing missing. I simply love this program!
Thank you very much for the sound advise.

Lightroom 2.5 and Plug-Ins

I am totally lost about plug-ins with Light Room (on a Vista 64 bit machine). I found an interesting one that is supposed to let me e-mail directly from Lightroom using my gmail account. I downloaded it and installed it using the Plug-In Manager. The manager said that all was well so I tried to use it BUT I can't find it. I exported my picture for e-mail (and that works) but it didn't seem to be using my gmail account. The mail did go and the attached photo was fine. Shouldn't I have some sort of plug-in list in Lightroom that I can access? Sorry, as I said, I'm lost.

Ahhh, I made it too complicated. When I went back to the plug-in manager and checked it said that it was sucessfully installed so I exported for e-mail and discovered it AUTOMATICALLY used my gmail account. Thanks for the help and sorry for the confusion!

Can you import software instruments and plug-ins from Logic Pro to GB

Hello,
I purchased Logic 7 Pro and I find it to be way too much for me. Is there a way to take the software instruments from Logic to GB? I am not even sure Logic comes with more software instruments than GB. Do they both rely on the Jam Packs for additional instruments.
Is there anything else GB can borrow from Logic. I know I can move the sound effects aif files and use them. Just wondering about other plug-ins and the like.
Thanks!!

Here's how you get past the static interruption.
Make your software track and ignore the static interruption. Its not being recorded into the midi information.
Then export the track out and reimport it to a new track. Do this twice. Your export/import WILL have static in it but since it was random your two tracks will not have the static in identical places.
Edit out the static in track one by replacing it with a static-less portion from track two. You'll now have a complete loop with no static interruption.
xs4sis. The cool thing about the demos is you don't have to program anything just use the presets. Who CAN program those **** synths anyway?
There are some demos that have a hundred presets to them. I love that!

GB and Plug Ins

I have two 3rd Party plug-ins (Slate Digital Trigger and IK Media Ampeg Bass Amps). Both will no longer work in the new GB 10.0. On top of that, my entire drum tracks are missing that were connected to Trigger plugin. GB stated that theese two will not work and suggested that I reload both. This DID NOT solve the problem for using the plugins and my drum tracks are still missing.

Scoll Lagging FF7.0.1: fine in safe mode, continues to lag when not even when extensions and plug-ins are disabled (reinstalled, problem continues)

a few days ago, all web pages started to lag when scrolling. Tried safe mode and speed was restored. returned to normal mode and disabled all plug-ins and extension, however, there was no effect upon the scroll lagging. performed a complete Kaspersky virus check with no issues. Other programs on desktop (ex: outlook) are running concurrently at speed without issue. IE is not running with scroll lag.
Oh, BTW, I don't know if it is related, but I was in China last week. and Only noticed this scroll lagging here in the US when I opened it this morning ... so, perhaps there is a site preference issue?

If it boots OK in Safe Mode, the you want to check those possible causes outlined in this article.

Mac OS 10.6.8 Parental Controls interfere with Firefox by preventing access to websites and plug ins

Mac OS 10.6.8 iMac, running FireFox 15 in grade school computer lab. When Parental controls are enabled in system preferences Firefox does not work properly. Can't use Google to search from the search bar at the top, can't access plug ins, there are even a few websites that can't be used. An example is digitalpassport.org from Common Sense media. Students can't access to log into their accounts. Parental Controls have been running on these macs for over a year with no issues. I thought it was the latest Firefox version giving us a problem but I updated to Firefox 16 today and the problem persists. If I turn off parental controls, Firefox works perfectly. I was not previously limiting applications, just blocking youtube and facebook. I tried limiting applications and then allowing all of them but that didn't help. What am I missing? Also, I can't access Mozilla support pages either when Parental Controls are enabled.

Check the PLUGIN UPDATES! Shockwave and Java were outdated and needed re-installation on mine! Took a couple of efforts with restarts but it is obvious that it solved my problems! Firefox Mozilla Toolbar 'Help' > 'Firefox Help' > lower right side of page displays link to Plugin Update review....

Upgrade and plug ins migration ? speed changes and transitions to motion 3

I have the FCS2 upgrade on its way soon i hope..
will my natress plug ins and others migrate when i go from FCS1 to 2?
I am mid project - have done all my captures but havent got into the nitty gritty of the edit yet - you reckon its a bit risky to upgrade?
I am super keen to get the ability to easily do ramps (in Motion 3 or in FC 6) and 3d logo fly arounds. Looking fwd to being able to throw transitions and speed changes into Motion 3 - i hear that it can deal with that now - is this true?

Thanks - thats all good
