Location of DW CS3 files on a Mac

I am running Dreamweaver CS3 on a Mac Pro running OSX 10.4
Tiger. I am about to upgrade to 10.5 Leopard and I want to do a
clean install of all my CS3 products. I will have a full backup of
my HD and I want to copy all my preferences for CS3 software back
to my Mac Pro after Leopard has been installed. Where does OSX
stuff the preferences, etc. for DW, PS & Fireworks?

Not really a pain, since DW exports them batch-wise.

  • CS3 files made in Mac can open in Windows? s

    If you save a Photoshop or Illustrator whatever file in Mac, can you open and work on it in Windows without any compatibility issues?
    I am curious if I can work on a same CS3 file both on Mac and Windows.

    The short answer is, "Yes". Photoshop on either platform will open a TIFF, Photoshop .psd, EPS, or any other file you save from PS. Same with Illustrator and InDesign.
    As far as incompatibility, it's the same as it's always been. If you use layers effects in CS3 that don't exist in CS2, then they of course won't work when you try to open the file in CS2 on either the Mac or in Windows. And as Limnos mentioned, there's always them darn fonts. If you use OpenType fonts, you can copy those from one platform to the other to avoid slight differences in Mac Type 1 PostScript fonts as opposed to Windows Type 1 PS fonts, which cannot be used cross platform.

  • How can I locate and delete torrent files from my mac

    I recently deleted a bunch of old files from macbook air from a p2p website I use (vuze.com) when I checked back on my hdd it was still full, and loaded with 'other files' which I'm pretty sure are torrents. I'm wondering how I can find these files (because I can't seem to locate them with spotlight) and trash them? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    For starters... you may already know this, but be sure to empty your trash.  You can use something like OmniDiskSweeper (free) to show where most of your space is being taken up.  It will list your folders/files in order of size.  This will generally make any folder which is excessively large show up right away:

  • Cannot get CS3 photoshop on my mac os10 to open my canon rebel T1i .CR2 files

    I have spent hours downloading a variety of stuff and still cannot get  CS3 photoshop on my mac os10 to open my canon rebel T1i .CR2 files. I  have downloaded the Camera Raw 4.6 plugin. Photoshop acknowledges that  is the version installed. But it won't recognize the .CR2 file type.  When I say show me all files, the files show up in the open file dialog,  and the thumbnails look right, but when I open the file it is munged. I  also installed the DNG Converter, which also does not recognize the  .CR2 files.
    Has anyone figured this out yet? It has been almost a year. I don't want to upgrade to CS4 or 5 or buy Lightroom.

    The Adobe DNG Converter 6.2 will open your files, if you have an uncorrupted download and use it properly.  No doubt about that.
    Once you launch it, be sure to target a folder containing raw files, not the raw files themselves.  At least on the Mac, the DNG Converter works on folders, not on individual files.
    Alternatively, you can try dragging and dropping the individual raw files onto the DNG Converter icon.
    Some routine maintenance may be overdue on your Mac, such as Repairing Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility, running Onyx or Cocktail, etc.

  • I saved a file on my mac on Word, but today when I went to review it, it said the "document could not be found" and then asked if i wished to locate the file myself, but when I went to do so it said the same thing again. How do I find this file?

    I saved a file on my mac on Word, but today when I went to review it, it said the "document could not be found" and then asked if i wished to locate the file myself, but when I went to do so it said the same thing again. How do I find this file?

    Let's go out and come in again!
    What version of Word on what Mac running what version of OS X?
    Did you give the file a name? In what location did Word last save a file - because that is where it is likely to be.

  • Trying to locate all PageMaker files on my Mac

    I'm trying to locate all PageMaker files on my Mac. It's difficult because they bare no common extension, for that matter, no extension at all.
    Can use AppleScript to collect a list of file names for any file with any of the following Creator codes. If so, any suggestions?
    I've successfully used Mac OS's Spotlight to find my PageMaker documents ... employing command-F, with the Other/Creator or Other/Type option.
    I know this much about the Creator codes, but I don't know how to make a complete list of files. Seems like AppleScript would be great for that task:
    PageMaker 6.5: (roughly 1998)
    Creator: AB65
    Type: AD65
    PageMaker 4.1 (roughly 1992)
    Creator: ALD4
    Type: ALB4
    PageMaker 3
    Creator: ALD3
    PageMaker 2 (roughly 1988)
    Creator: ALD2
    Type: PUBF

    Hello John Blasquez,
    AppleScript's filter reference by 'whose' clause can be sadly slow in filtering large set of objects. Since it has been so for a long time, you'd better find another way when it is too slow.
    I'd try mdfind(1) to invoke Spotlight query (OSX10.4 or later) from command line. E.g. -
    # SHELL COMMAND (NOT tested)
    # mdfind e.g. to obtain paths of PageMaker files under Home directory.
    mdfind -onlyin ~ "kMDItemKind == 'PageMaker' || kMDItemCreator == 'PageMaker'"
    # END OF SHELL COMMAND
    And in AppleScript, you may use 'do shell script' to execute shell command. E.g. -
    -- SCRIPT (NOT tested)
    set outfp to "" & (path to "desk") & "test out.txt"
    set query to "\"kMDItemKind == 'PageMaker' || kMDItemCreator == 'PageMaker'\""
    set s to "mdfind -onlyin ~ " & query & " > " & quoted form of POSIX path of outfp
    do shell script s
    -- END OF SCRIPT
    I have not tested them, for I don't use OSX myself.
    Hope this may be of some help.
    H
    PS. Spotlight query will (generally) work fine for user home in local volume, but will not for any un-indexed directories, such as under /System and/or CD/DVD volumes (and perhaps under network volumes either, not sure though.)

  • Programatically determine installation location for InDesign CS3, CS4, CS5, AND CS5.5 (Windows)

    We build plug-ins for all versions of InDesign from CS3 and later, for Windows and Mac.
    To deploy our plug-in(s) on Windows, we use InstallShield, which has a somewhat complicated mechanism to locate InDesign.exe and determine its version so we know which plug-in(s) to install, but basically, the location is determined (via the RegLocator table in InstallShield) based on this registry setting:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\InDesign.exe
    This has been working fine for all versions of InDesign since CS2.  However, that location is apparently no longer set by the InDesign CS5.5 installer.  So, we need to find some other way of programatically locating InDesign CS5.5 with our installer.
    I've searched the registry of a machine with InDesign CS5.5  installed, and there are other registry entries related to InDesign, but those  entries are not set by earlier versions of the InDesign installer.  Ideally, there would be a registry setting, or some other reliable marker we can use to locate the InDesign installation, which is consistent across all versions of InDesign (at least back to CS3).
    Using the registry setting is something we came up with on our own via  trial-and-error, since, as far as I know, there is no documented way to  locate the InDesign  installation folder.  (Our Mac installer uses a simpler mechanism to locate InDesign by the application name and version number.)
    I find the apparent lack of documentation on this a bit ironic, since just about every other aspect of the SDK and the methods for creating InDesign plug-ins is extremely well documented, expect for the last final bit one needs to know to get to the promised land of actually deploying a carefully crafted plug-in to customers' machines.  (This seems to be true of the Acrobat SDK as well.)  However, I could have just missed the relevant documentation, in which case, please point me to it.
    So, is there a recommended way to programatically  locate the InDesign installation location on Windows?  How are other people doing this in their installers?

    Hi Dan,
    this is the InDesign plugins SDK forum, you need the installer forum....
    Just kidding. I use a really hacky piece of VB to install my plugins while I'm developing...
    here's the bit which works out the folder depending on which version I'm compiling for.
    That gives you the gist anyway, and I imagine that most installers are going to do more or less the same thing, except they'll have short cuts ways of getting it.
    There's probably a better way, but this works for me...

  • My biggest 'pain' at the moment is that every time I go to change then save a Photoshop CS3 file it says 'cannot save as the file as it has been left open or is in use by another application'

    My biggest 'pain' at the moment is that every time I go to change then save a Photoshop CS3 file it says 'cannot save as the file as it has been left open or is in use by another application'

    Rule Number One - NEVER go directly uinto the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it and making any change no matter how small can corrupt your library and cause data or photo loss
    Exactly how were you trying to save a copy of your iPhoto library?
    Albumdata.xml does not contain your photos - and again NEVER make any changes to the content of the iPhoto library - no dragging - no changes - never go into the library
    We need to know exactly what you did
    And probalby the easiest solution is to load your backup from before you messed things up
    For reference after you get things working
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • Best workflow for updating CS3 files to CS5

    Hi everyone,
    My company is going to be purchasing CS5 in the next few months. We have been using CS3 (Mac OS 10.5.8).
    I've read some threads on here that indicate opening CS3 files or templates directly in CS5 has caused some people some problems.
    Since my job involves maintaining the integrity of our many templates, would it be best to recreate them from scratch in CS5 (as I did when we switched from Quark) or is opening them and resaving as CS5 files considered safe?
    We have a copy of CS4. Would it be better to open/save in CS4 before opening in CS5?
    This transition needs to be as smooth as possible for the art directors and editors even if it means a bit more work for me.
    Thought? Suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Hi cj, welcome to the forum.
    This advice about starting from scratch is a belt-and-suspenders safety issue for CS5. There are a dozen or so reports floating here from folks whp've had various sorts of problems ranging from very minor to complete loss of an 1100 page book when working with files converted from previous versions. I've not had a problem, nor has anyone I know who is a regular here, but the reports are enough at this point to make me think it isn't necessarily all user error. Being pragmatic, I think it's less work to start a template from scratch than to try to rescue a job gone bad.
    And I said don't overwrite an older version file, as in save the new version in the same location with the same name, thus replacing the old one with no opportunity to get it back. Given that ID can only export a file that can be opened by the previous version, nothing earlier, this is just prudent workflow. If you have a disaster, you won't have lost your earlier version, too.
    And in general I don't recommend a workflow that uses the same document over and over, doing a save as for each new iteration. If you used PM for that many years I'm sure you know why. Small corruptions have a way of creeping into a document over time as you work. Recycling the document not only carries the unavoidable risk for new coirruption, but also brings any old bad stuff along too. Eventually this can cause complete document failure and we get periodic reports here from (mosstly magzine or newspaper) users who have lost weeks of work when the file can no longer be opened, usually with no apparent reason -- it worked fine all the previous day. Using a template instead means each new iteration starts from the same, hopefully clean, second generation file. ID is very stable, but it does happen. I also keep a spare tire in the trunk of my car, and back up may data every night.

  • My windows(8.1 64bit) partition is read only from the mac(yosemite) side of things. Anybody have a clue on how to fix this? Also, slightly frustrating as well, windows crashes every time I attempt to open a file from the mac partition.

    my windows(8.1 64bit) partition is read only from the mac(yosemite) side of things. Anybody have a clue on how to fix this? Also, slightly frustrating as well, windows crashes every time I attempt to open a file from the mac partition.

    All Office applications will also try to open a temporary work file in the same location as the source file. This implies the source file directory also needs to be writable for this temporary file. Since the default HFS+ driver provides only read-only access, such temporary files will fail to open, and will cause the application to fail.
    As a test copy the file you want to edit, say an Excel spreadsheet from the OSX file system to the C: drive on the Windows side and try to open it. If you look in this directory, you should see two files, the source and a temporary file. You may have to force the temporary file to be opened on a read-write file system, by manipulating the folder for temporary files.

  • Move stickie file from one mac to another, move stickie file from one mac to another, How do I move stickie file from one mac to another

    How do you transfer the stickie data file from one mac to another?

    I think this is the file -
    In (hard drive) > Users > yourhomefolder (the one with the house icon) > Library, look for a loose file named StickiesDatabase
    Copying that file to the same location on the new machine (and replacing the file there now) should move the notes. It is probably a good idea that both machines be running the same OS X version.

  • OSX 10.5.4: Still the same problems with Adobe CS3 files

    I updated to OS X 10.5.4 on a latest generation 24" iMac with Adobe CS3 on it. This is the only Mac with 10.5 installed in a publishing company with 10 Macs, all with Adobe CS3 and all working always with files on the same file server. The other 9 Macs have OS X 10.4 installed.
    The iMac with 10.5 had massive problems with CS3 files since OS X 10.5.2 - frequently existing Photoshop files disappeared from the server after the "Save" command, frequently "Save As" was not possible in Photoshop, sometimes Indesign crashed when files were getting saved on the server - none of this is happening on the other Macs with OS X 10.4.
    On the first couple of days with 10.5.4 at least in Photoshop exactly the same problems: Existing files disappear from the server after the "Save" command, "Save As" is often times not possible.
    It's a shame!

    Hi
    Why don't you try updating with the larger installer, the combo updater. The combo updater is generally more helpful when troubleshooting a problem.

  • How to view hidden files on a mac

    I have certain hidden files on my mac that i know are there because they are taking up file space i was wondering how i can make them unhidden thanks

    One of those multi-purpose gizmos is overkill for this simple task (unless you already have one – I personally don't use them). Save (to any location you like) Gnarlodious's script as an app, and then slide that app into the sidebar of any Finder window. From then on one click on that sidebar alias toggles 'see invisibles' on and off. My script is virtually the same:
    set {currentSetting, toggle} to {do shell script ¬
        "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles", "ON"}
    if currentSetting is in "ONO" then set toggle to "OFF"
    try
        -- If you know how to, optionally insert a 'whoosh' sound here.
        tell application "Finder" to quit
        do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles " & toggle
        delay 0.25 -- Alter this value by trial & error to suit your Mac.
        tell application "Finder" to launch
    on error errTxt
        display dialog errTxt
    end try
    Paste that block of green text (or Gnarlodious's) into Script Editor, hit your <enter> key and the text should now display in pretty colors with no error message. You can click on "Run" to test it. Save as an application with all the Options UNchecked.
    If you know how to, give it a suitable icon – mine is a "switch".
    Heed the warnings about interfering with 'invisible' items. Looking is fine, altering is only for those who know what they are doing – that's why they're invisible!

  • Converting CS3 files to CC.

    Hi,
    We have upgraded our office to the Adobe Creative Cloud offerings - specifically, Acrobat, InDesign, PhotoShop, and Illustrator. We previoulsy had CS3. We have several templates that were created in CS3 and have had some difficulty with them after they have been converted to CC.
    That said, is there a specific way that we should be converting these files so that there aren't any problems with the files?
    I am not a user, so I can't say specically what problem our users are experiencing. One user complained of having to unlock layers in order to make text editable. So far (and we just upgraded yesterday [Sept 2]) we haven't heard of any additional issues but we would like to inform our users if there is a specific or proper way to apply the conversion.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mb

    Yes. I posted something on another thread that seems related so I 
    will try to elaborate. I have files that were created in Dreamweaver 
    CS3 and recently upgraded to CS5. I have both programs still on my 
    system, which is Mac OS 10.6.8. When I try to open the CS3 files in 
    CS5 I cannot do so because the site and html files is not there 
    visually. This is why I asked about the need to convert. I did find a 
    way to do something which is hinky but, I will share it since it is 
    so simple and seems to solve the other problem as well.
    I opened the site file in CS3. opened the site management and 
    exported the site to a new folder. Now the site is visible and I can 
    open all the files inside CS5. It does create an extra site file, so 
    I just deleted that one and am left with a usable site in CS5.
    I plan to copy off the sites to a new folder and then proceed rather 
    than overwriting the old ones, just in case.
    I hope this helps someone else.
