Migrating CS4 preferences to another computer

How can I copy my CS4 preferences to an instance of CS4 running on another PC?
Thx

But be aware that, if there are screen size differences, this can invoke the "off screen dialog syndrome".
Because also panel positions are recorded in the settings, they can end up in a different place.

Copy Bridge Preferences to another computer

In the past, when administering all our work computers, I was able to copy the Adobe Bridge plist file to additional computers (or user accounts on a single computer) once I had one station set up the way I wanted, so that all our computers were set up with the same settings. This doesn't appear to be working in Bridge CC. For instance, if I change the Color Theme in the General preference screen and then copy the plist file to another computer it doesn't "take" on the second computer. I have checked to make sure I have read/write access to the plist file after copying it. Am I missing something?

Same problem here. Did you resolve this issue?

Can I copy Bridge workspace preferences to another computer?

I purchased CS6 for another machine. I've mostly got the workspace in Bridge to look like my other machine's preferred workspace.
What I want to do, and have not found the answer, is to show the "favorites" and "folders" tabs in the left pane, then further down in that same pane, show the "filter, collections and export" tabs.
The new machine shows these tabs near the top, but I don't know how to move those tabs downward.
Here's what I am trying to do:
Thanks much.

It is a bit tricky but once tried easy enough. place your cursor on the tab of a panel and hold click while dragging. A blue surrounding line appears. Now point to the wished location (between two existing rows in a column or between two columns) until a blue appears. Then let the panel drop. When you drag it next to another tab a blue surrounding line appears meaning you can dock this panel as a tab next to the existing. You have a max of 3 columns, don't know if there is a max to rows but your screen and visibility is the limit.

Migrated Flash CS4 to another computer and it won't startup now

Using Migration Assistant on my mac I transferred all my files to another computer. All the other Adobe programs are starting up no problem (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) When I try to start up Flash CS4, it just freezes with the message "copying first run files.." and then it crashes.
I don't have the install discs unfortunately (or I would try to re-install) because this was given to me by a company I work for remotely. Any thoughts on how I can fix this? Thanks!

I am having the same problem now - everything else migrated fine (even Illustrator 10), but CS4 crashes on opening. I have uninstalled it and re-installed it as I do have the disks. I have deleted the preferences and .plst file as suggested in other forums. Still no luck. Hopefully someone will some day reply with an answer!!

What is the best way to migrate your Adobe software to another computer?

What is the best way to migrate your Adobe software to another computer?

If you know that you do not intend to use the software on the old machine (especially if you are getting rid of it), the minimum you need to do is deactivate it. That will disable use of it and free up an extra activation for you should you ever wish to have two machines available to use it on. To deactivate you just open an application and choose Help -> Deactivate. If this happens to be a Creative Suite, doing that to just one of the applications will deactivate the entire Suite.
You can also uninstall the software if you like, but be sure to deactivate it first.

Migrating skype to another computer, passwor forgo...

Hi all and excuse my english.
My wife has a problem:
- She is migrating from an Mac to a new one.
- She is using Skype since 2006.
- She does not remember her skype password.
- She didn't specify any email address while registering.
- She never use paid services.
but
- She can still uses Skype on her old MacBook because the software remember the password.
Do you know if she can prove her identity using a skype call to techsupport?
I guess if she is using skype on her old computer she should be able to migrate to another computer even if she forgot the key and didn't specify any email address while registering.
Thanks in advance

I think a possible solution is for her to purchase any services (which could be not ideal or practical), then use the password automation page in order to request for a new password without the need of an email address.
moreover, can you please check what appears when you open the change email address page?

Can I transfer my Academic CS4 onto another computer?

Hello. I would like to know if I am able to transfer my Academic CS4 to another computer? I had it installed in my old mac, and would like to install it again onto my other laptop. I am confused as to the limitations, requirements, etc. Thank you.

Hi Nancy,
The Adobe product license agreement allows the primary user to install the product on a primary computer and also on a home or laptop computer for his or her use, provided that the two copies are not used simultaneously.
Hence you can go ahead and install on a new computer which is a second computer. If you get an error saying "Too many activations" contact Adobe Support over chat or phone to resolve that error.
Regards,
Jairaj

I have bought a CS5 suite (student) 2 years back. I have lost the original box and DVD. Now I am migrating to another computer and I couldnt find a source to install the CS5. Please help.

I have bought a CS5 suite (student) 2 years back. I have lost the original box and DVD. Now I am migrating to another computer and I couldnt find a source to install the CS5. Please help.
I couldnt even contact adobe direct to address the issue.

If you registered with Adobe, your authorization number will be in your account on Adobe's website. Then you can use their downloads page and download CS5 and install it. A search on their main page will get you to the download page.

PS cs4 invalid serial number previously used on another computer

Hi i installed PS CS4 on a new computer and it wont take the serial numb. says its invalid.

Fellow users can help you understand the problem (likely that you've used up your 2 available activations), but you'll need to call Adobe Customer Support to resolve the issue.

Does installing CS5 prevent using CS4 on another computer?

I bought CS4 Production Premium through the Education Store in January 2009. Now I want to buy CS5 Production Premium (Education Store). Can I install and activate CS4 on a different computer, and then install and activate CS5 on the computer that is now runniing CS4?

Yes you can.
You can even have both running on the same computer. However if you want to take CS$ off, remember to go tothe Help menu and 'Deactivate' the current version. That will allow you to install it on to the second computer.

How to migrate just one email account to another computer not the whole profile

I have several email accounts in the default profile. I added an account to help a friend scrape email off a webmail server to solve his quota problem. They are visible in their separate inbox and folders. Now I want to "export" his emails in a format that can be imported into his newly installed Thunderbird. If I back up and restore the whole profile won't it take all of my accounts with it? Don't want that. Just want to move his data.

You could use ImportExportTools addon.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/
download file to eg: desktop
To install addon:
In Thunderbird
* Tools > addons
* click on gear wheel icon
* select; Install addon from file
* locate the file you downloaded and click on Open
You may need to restart Thunderbird.
To use the tool:
* Right click on folder - select 'ImportExporttools > Export folder
note: If Pop mail account - no worries as everything is stored in TB profile.
If IMAP mail account, make sure all subscribed folders were synchronised to get an mbox copy in the Profile folder as subscribed folders (not synchronised) only download headers. Then go offline mode (this temporarilly stops synchronising) to Export them.
When all folders are exported, you can copy then to a suitable medium eg: usb stick, so that your friend can copy them to another computer.
Your friend could use the same addon to Import those folders into Thunderbird after creating the mail account.
When you have exported all of the folders with emails, you could remove the mail account.
* Tools > account Settings
* select the mail account
* click on 'Account actions'
* select 'Remove account'
* click on OK
You may then need to also remove them from your Profile folder.
Help > Troubleshooting Information
click on 'show Folder'
a window opens showing Profile folder. You might need to make hidden files and folders visible to see these files.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
Close Thunderbird now this is important.
click on 'Mail' folder (has pop mail accounts and Local folders) or ImapMail fo IMAP folders and look for and delete your friends mail account name folder.
then restart Thunderbird.

How do I transfer photoshop cs4 to a new computer?

I would like to move PS CS4 from my old computer to new. I took a backup of a download from several years ago and ran setup but when I run SETUP, the window with "Checking System Profile" never ends. Stuck there. I have deactivated PS from my previous computer.

The first thing you should know is that you can't "move" Photoshop to another computer. You must reinstall from the discs using your serial number. Migrating or recovering from backup will give you a licensing error.
Since you have two activations. You can install and activate it on your new Macbook. You'll want to keep CS4 on the old Macbook as a backup unless you are selling or disposing of it. It's a good idea if the CS4 runs into problems on the new Macbook. (Hopefully not)
That's it. Any further questions, let me know
