MD Templates and PS Actions CS4 win-mac

Would like to migrate my PS actions and metadata templates between Windows and Mac machines, both of which are running PhotoShop CS4.
There are new procedures on my Mac which need to be retrofitted to my Windows machine, and older ones in Windows which should go to Mac, both without overwriting in case of duplicate resource names.
Would appreciate any information as to file locations on the Mac, as well as pointers to a safe procedure if this has been documented.

I would try updating the video driver directly from the manufacturer's website:

The other thing I'd do is go to Prefences>Performance... click on [Advanced Settings...], Choose "Basic" for drawing mode and restart Photoshop.

Where do the XMP metadata templates and keywords files go WIN XP?

I've just changed computers and upgraded to CS6. I am trying to import my Bridge metadata templates and keywords. I have the files from the old computer but I don't know where to put them on the new computer. The same folder structure where I found them (documents and settings/username/AppData/Adobe/BridgeCS5) does not exist on my new computer after installation of CS6. I tried pasting them in the program files folder for CS6, but this didn't work. I am using Windows XP. Thanks in advance.

Not familiair with Windows but on a Mac the path you show is still the same. Did you already used Bridge once?
Quickest way I can think of is putting the files on your desktop and from Bridge metadata and keyword panel use the little menu icon top right of the panel and choose import settings. Find and select both settings and you should be OK.

InDesign CS4 Win/Mac UID Allocation

Hello all: I inherited this code from a programmer who is no longer with the company: URI URIPath; URIUTILS -> IDFileToURI(path, URIPath); // Set the IImportResourceCmdData Interface's data: InterfacePtr<IImportResourceCmdData> importFileCmdData(importAndLoadPlaceGunCmd, IID_IIMPORTRESOURCECMDDATA); importFileCmdData -> Set(db, URIPath, (K2::UIFlags)0, kTrue, kFalse); ErrorCode status = CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(importAndLoadPlaceGunCmd); const UIDList* imageList = importAndLoadPlaceGunCmd -> GetItemList(); if (!imageList || imageList -> Length() == 0) break; UIDRef imageFrame = imageList -> GetRef(0); InterfacePtr<IHierarchy> imageFrameHierarchy(imageFrame, UseDefaultIID()); UIDRef newImage(db, imageFrameHierarchy -> GetChildUID(0)); imageFrameHierarchy -> Remove(imageFrameHierarchy -> GetChildUID(0)); This code places an image on the page at preset coordinates (that part is not shown). The code works. The only problem I am having with this is the final statement. It causes the following notification to appear when the document is closed (determined through a careful and tedious process of trial and error): b Document has XX UIDs that are allocated but not used. The "XX" invariably corresponds to the number of images placed through this code. Can anyone help me figure out where the code is duplicating UIDs? TIA! John

My suspicion would be imageFrameHierarchy->Remove. I have no idea what that code is supposed to do (why import the image and then delete it again..., presumably something else happening that has been cut from the code sample), but I would use a command there instead.

Upgrade to CS4 Win using CS2 MAC

Before we actually purchase the upgrade, we want to make sure we can do this - We have Creative Suite 2 Premium for MAC and want to upgrade to Creative Suite 4 Design Premium for Windows. We are phasing out the older MAC's and moving to Widows based workstations.
We're looking to purchase the following from CDW:
P/N 1556298 ADOBE DESIGN PREM CS4 WIN UPG DP12 BX (ADO-65021327)
Does anyone know if this will work?
Thanks,
MB

Cross platform upgrades should be handled directly via Adobe Customer Support. I don't believe that what is carried in the "channel" will suffice for this purpose. Call Adobe Customer (not Technical) Support and they can confirm as to how to proceed.

Files panel - CS4 Win vs Mac

I'm a Mac user for a long time. Recently, I've done some website work on a PC using CS4. Irritatingly, on the PC, the Files panel [ungrouped] remains ontop of the files when opening them. I have to minimize the panel to see the open files. On Mac this was never a propblem in any version of CS or MX and prior for that matter.
Is there any way to get the same panel behavior on the PC (XP) as the Mac?
TIA

I have Adobe Photoshop CS4 and have just upgraded my Mac operating system to Yosemite with the newest version of Java 2014 running. When I try to access Photoshop from Bridge or directly open it asks for a Legacy Version of Java 6. As I am a pensioner I cannot afford an upgrade does anyone know of a work-around for this problem?

Hi Daddyfred,
CS4 Photoshop has not been tested on Yosemite. But still you can try the Java 6 update using the below link.

Can I run Photoshop CS4 and CS1 on the same Mac?

I've been building pages for a website on my old Mac with Photoshop CS1 then slicing and optimising them in ImageReady before uploading to the site I'm building in Dreamweaver where I put in the body text.
Recently I upgraded to a newer Mac running Snow Leopard and CS4 where I discovered that ImageReady is now considered a thing of the past. I read that Fireworks and Dreamweaver are now the most sophisticated way to go but after a month perservering with fireworks I'm finding it a very clunky, complicated way to operate. I don't like using it and I hate the prospect of starting over to re-build my existing site.
( http://www.mountainstream.com.au )
So... will my CS1 version of Photoshop and Imageready run successfully on Snow Leopard and, if so, can I have two versions of one program loaded on my Mac at once? The aim is to be able to use CS1 for Imageready and revert to CS4 for my usual work.

Bought InDesign CS4 for Mac and now need to move it to a PC. Help!

Most Adobe software is written for one of two platforms, Mac or PC. In order to switch platforms you need to be using the most current version, so CS4 would not be supported for making this switch. Here is a link to a page that explains the requirements for switching platforms....

A friend wants sell and transfer his CS6 Suit (Mac) to me, but I use Win', is crossgrade possible?

A friend wants sell and transfer his CS6 Suit (Mac) to me because he does not use all of its content, but I use Win', is crossgrade possible?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Iscu,
Once you purchase the Mac version from your Friend, you can go ahead and request for a swap platform to Windows.
Make sure your friend does a "Transfer of License" through Adobe. Once the "Transfer of License" is complete, the serial number will be registered under your account and you will be the current Owner of the license. Later, you can go ahead and request for a Swap for your product. To know more about the transfer of license, follow the below URL:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/transfer-product-license.html
FYI - Swap platform is available only with the current version. Hence if CS7 releases, you need to purchase a Swap platform Upgrade..
Let us know if you have any further queries.
Regards,
Jairaj

Now fcpx don's start empty. It stops and you see this, no more action did my mac

Now fcpx don's start empty. It stops and you see this, no more action did my mac
I can't open projects, FCPX didn't find my photo's and didn't find the links to the stuff of fxfactory.
I removed fcpx and installed it again after closing my mac.
I renamed fcpprojects and events. FCPX starts empty without photo's and links to fxfactory.
Very disappointed because it cost my hours and fcpx doesn't work yet.

Thank you for your quick and good response
I was a little disappointed that I was referred to an apple store while I had just arranged everything over the internet
Trash FCP doesn't work. than i go to Library etc. That doesn't work.
I made a new user account and FCP works.
FCPX is working again on this new account.
I see all effects, transitions, titles and generators.
The only downside is that I have to set everything again. FxFactory. Iphoto etc.
How is it possible that I can set up a new account FCPX and not on my own account. Is there an explanation for this.
I was helped, because I can use FCPX again on a new account. Although with some detours and some extra time and energy.
So thanks a lot.
I hope that you can help me that I can installed FCPX on my own account.
Greetings

Can I install/run FCP 7 and/or adobe CS4/5/6 on apple mac mini MD388HN-A as it has INtel HD 4000 Graphics?

Can I install/run FCP 7 and/or adobe CS4/5/6 on apple mac mini MD388HN-A as it has INtel HD 4000 Graphics?

If you want to run Adobe apps, make sure you have the maximum RAM and plenty of available hard disk space. Given the typical internal drive sizes of the Mini, this would mean investing in one or two large external drives. Photoshop and InDesign only work well if there is a very large chunk of space available as a scratch disk. Some recommend dedicating a drive just for scratch space, if you are working with large, complex Photoshop files or large InDesign projects.

Can all macbooks boot from usb(stick,hdd) and firewire(hdd) an os: linux, win, mac os x, opensolaris, etc

Can all macbooks boot from usb(stick,hdd) and firewire(hdd) an os: linux, win, mac os x, opensolaris, etc?
what about:
Apple MacBook Pro MB133LL/A 15.4-inch Laptop(OLD VERSION) (4GB RAM 120G HD 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 15.4" Matte Screen, 4GB memory, 120 GB 7200 rpm hard drive) White

Yes,
Disconnect everything hooked up to the PC except the keyboard, mouse and monitor.
Then use this method to flash the BIOS. It is the safest way to go.
USB Device BIOS Flashing in DOS
DOS Flash (DOSFlash.exe, FlshUefi.cpu) is the DOS-compatible System BIOS flash utility that can be used from a DOS bootable storage device (where "DOS" refers to any of a number of compatible operating systems such as FreeDOS, MS-DOS or DR-DOS). FlshUefi.cpu is the required driver for DOSFlash.exe. To flash the System BIOS from a bootable USB storage device, you will need to copy the contents of the DOS Flash folder to the USB device, boot the PC from the USB device, and execute the DOSFlash application. To see a more complete description of the DOS flash utilities, view DOSFlash.txt located in the DOS Flash folder. This folder also contains the required binary image of the BIOS. The binary image file is named xxx_MMmm.bin where "xxx" is the BIOS family, "MM" is the major version number, and "mm" is the minor version number. This file can be copied to the root directory of any USB removable medium for use with the F10 setup "Flash System ROM" option
View Contents of DOS Flash Folder
The links on this post don't work. I copied the section from the BIOS flashing instructions for the specific section you need.

Editing text in Dreamweaver CS4 on Mac 10.6.2 causes paragraph ends to disapear

Editing text in Dreamweaver CS4 on Mac 10.6.2 causes paragraph ends to disappear.
When adding bold in design view (strong) to two words at the start of my paragraph the last line of the paragraph disappears. This is somewhat worrying as it means any editing I do in dreamweaver could do massive amounts of damage to the content.
We are pasting the original content into the code view so as to strip the formating Dreamweaver then decides to take the last line break in the source code paragraph and then delete it see example below:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean dignissim nisi id risus varius ut scelerisque massa consectetur. Vestibulum non tortor augue, sit amet dictum lacus. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Curabitur ultrices felis et dui tincidunt sit amet tristique est pulvinar. Nulla a lectus quis erat ornare ultricies. Sed ac elementum magna. Nulla aliquet accumsan nulla. In dictum accumsan tortor eget consequat. Suspendisse potenti. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nunc et orci eu augue condimentum sodales quis id mauris. Nam enim nisi, convallis eu volutpat non, malesuada quis nulla. Sed auctor nulla et tellus vehicula lacinia interdum odio lobortis vehicula lacinia interdum odio.
So when applying Strong with the Bold button in the design view to the first words 'Lorem ipsum' the last part of the paragraph 'lobortis vehicula lacinia interdum odio' will be deleted. Bizare and very dangerous especially for Annual Report content.
Any experience of similar or solutions would be greatly received.
PS. I have restarted, repaired permissions, checked dreamweaver is up to date trashed plist's and removed duplicate fonts.

It could be a problem in the templates.
In all honesty, I just tried pasting text into the Design section of a page.
It doesn't even work on my Mac, and it took three tries to get it to actually paste in VIsta.
I had to go to the code and reformat it after it did paste, but it eventually went.
I don't work with templates much.
Well, that actually makes me feel a little better, if it makes sense to feel better to learn that it could be the expensive software and not just us. I guess I will view this as an opportunity to improve me coding speed :-) Thanks for the feedback.
