Migrating my Preferences to PS CC 2014

I haven't done this in a long, long time. Is there an automated way to migrate Workspaces, Actions, Preferences in general from PS CC to PS CC 2014, in Windows 7? I found this document Preference file functions, names, locations | Photoshop CS5, but when I follow the three-key instruction, all I manage to pull off is opening the Properties window. A more detailed step-by-step instruction would be helpful... anyone!
Thanks for your time and attention.

There is potential but no known harm in doing this. With the Preset Migration, it is essentially doing this but also converting the files so they are supported by the new version. Without this conversion, there is the chance that some of the data will not work correctly and result in unexpected behavior. So I'd say try it, but keep an eye out for trouble.

Is anybody successfully migrated SSRS 2005 SP2 to SSRS 2014?

what I was doing: Try to migrate the ssrs 2005 sp2 in a old web server to SSRS 2014 in a new server (native mode)
1. old SSRS web server: SSRS 2005 SP2 enterprise edition with window server 2003 (server 1)
2. New SSRS web server: window server 2012 R2, installed sql server 2014 database engine and SSRS. (server 2)
3. backup configuration files, encryption key, we have no custom assamblies from the old SSRS web Server (server 1)
4. Backup the report server databases from the existing old database server. (server 3) (our SSRS web server and SSRS report server databases are in different servers)
5. Created the RSExecRole and grantd all the permissions according to the documentation in the sql server 2014 database server (server 4)
6. Restore the databases to the new database server that is in sql server 2014. (server 4)
7. Go to server 2 to configure the reporting service using the configuration Manager
I successfully pointed to new databases, but when test the url, I got the error: The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid or it can not be read. The found version is '143' and the expected version
is '162'
I worked with Microsoft technician, and he said I have to upgrade my old SSRS from 2005 SP2 to 2005 SP4 first then do the migration.   But I saw some article saying that I can migrate the SSRS from 2005 SP2 to SSRS 2014.   Any help is
very much appreciated.

Thank you Katherine for your reply! I was able to bring up the reports in my new Report web server when I restore the RS databases onto a sql server 2008 server. I got the version conflict error when I restore the databases directly onto a sql
server 2014 server. Our goal is migrating the SSRS 2005 SP2 to SSRS 2014 with databases in sql server 2014. Therefore, I will have to migrate the SSRS 2005 to 2014 but host the Reporting server databases in sql server 2008 R2 first, then
upgrade Reporting Server databases to sql Sql server 2014.
Below steps are what I have done so far to migrate the SSRS from 2005 to 2014:
1. install sql server 2014 on a new server (RS server 2- SSRS 2014)
2. backup up config files, encryption key, application files in old reporting server(RS server 1 - SSRS 2005 SP2)
3. backup the reporting server databases from old database server  (in sql server 2005 sp4) (RS databases server 1)
4. Move config files and encryption key backup files to new RS server 2.
5. Move databases backup files to another server (in Sql server 2008 R2 (RS databases server 2)
6. Restore the backup files to (RS databases server 2)
7. Configure the Reporting services in new server (RS server 2 - SSRS 2014)
    a. configure URL
    b. change databases connection
    c. Restore the encryption key
8. Check the reports.
Now, I am able to see all the reports in my new web server(SSRS 2014) and the databases are in the server that is in SQL Server 2008 R2 version.
My collegue will upgrade the database server 2 including the report server databases and some other databases (currently in sql server 2008 R2 version with some other databases).
1. When she upgrades the database server 2 from sql server 2008 R2 to sql server 2014, do I need to do anything on the new reporting service web server?
2. I was thinking about that I will need to do the RS databases backup and encryption key backup before my colleuge do the sql server 2014 upgrade, and after she finish the upgrade, I will then go to new SSRS web server to do the reporting
service configuration using the configuration manager tool. I will do the database set up and restore the encryption key.  Am I right?
Any comment and suggestion will be great appriciated! Have a nice day!

Error migrating Discoverer preferences...

Hi friends,
I'm in the middle of a Discoverer migration (4i to 10.1.2 , Apps version: 11.5.10.2 DB: 9.2.0.8, OS: Red Hat Linux 2.1)
I'm migrating the preferences following the 313418.1 Metalink note. (Step 5)
Following the Discoverer Configuration Guide 10gR2, There, in appendix B.7.1 it says that command is:
> <ORACLE_HOME_2>/discoverer/util/dis51pr -migrate -from 102
I tried to execute and the result is:
u01/erpbat/aeaora/disco10/bin/dis51pr: error while loading shared libraries: libTAO_PortableServer.so.1.3.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I've looked for libTAO_PortableServer.so.1.3.1 file, and I've found it under
[appldes:]:/u01/erpbat/aeaora/disco10/discoverer/lib directory.
(my ORACLE_HOME is /u01/erpbat/aeaora/disco10/)
I tried to execute the dis51pr file under that directory, but with the same result...
Any ideas?
What is curious is that in the guide, the dis51pr file seems to be placed in ORACLE_HOME/discoverer/util directory... but ,it's not ther, it's in
ORACLE_HOME/bin.. I don't know if it's important...)
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jose L

Hi again,
after solved that point... I thinked I'd finished the Discoverer installation (just neeed to create a script to set the appropiate ORACLE_HOME at startup)
I had run opmnctl startall and opmnctl stopall with success (to test that all was OK..), but when I exit.. and enter in session again... then it didn't work... :-(
I stopped all apps services and all discoverer services..
I started apps services with success.. but when I tried to execute opmnctl startall again.. it failed ... (don't know why now! )
Relevant information about that:
Error:
ias-component/process-type/process-set:
Discoverer/PreferenceServer/PreferenceServer
Error
--> Process (pid=12309)
failed to start a managed process after the maximum retry limit
Log:
/u01/erpbat/aeaora/disco10/opmn/logs/Discoverer~PreferenceServer~1
opmnctl status
------------------------------------------------+---------
ias-component | process-type | pid | status
------------------------------------------------+---------
LogLoader | logloaderd | N/A | Down
dcm-daemon | dcm-daemon | N/A | Down
WebCache | WebCache | 21691 | Alive
WebCache | WebCacheAdmin | 21645 | Alive
OC4J | home | 21652 | Alive
OC4J | OC4J_BI_Forms | 21653 | Alive
HTTP_Server | HTTP_Server | 21657 | Alive
Discoverer | ServicesStatus | 21658 | Alive
Discoverer | PreferenceServer | N/A | Down
DSA | DSA | N/A | Down
So the error seems to be with PreferenceServer...
I've found a note in metalink with exactly the same error:
Subject: Discoverer Preferenceserver Process Does Not Start on 10g Install -
'failed to start a managed process after the maximum retry limit' Error
Doc ID: Note:312252.1
but in this note .. it says that the cause is the etc/hosts file...
I don't think so because that file wasn't be changed since June... (and... this worked in the last execution) so... I have no ideas for the moment...
Any idea?
(Another bit problem, I don't know if it's in relation is that... I can't access through 7777 port to discoverer from my PC. That's the port chosen by default installation to HTTP Server.. and I changed in httpd.conf and in Profile options..)
Thanks,
Jose

Migrate Mail Preferences from Mountain Lion to Mavericks & Sync w/iCloud

1. How do you migrate Mail Preferences, specifically Signatures and Rules, from OS 10.8.5 (Mac Pro) to OS 10.9.5 (MacBook Pro)?
2. Why won’t Signatures and Rules upload/sync with iCloud Mail?
Migration Assistant doesn’t work and I’ve already spent a week total trying to resolve this issue once and for all.

Have TorBrowserBundle running Firefox ESR10.0.12 on Mac OS X10.8.2 after browser update how to migrate settings , preferences and add-ons?

Updated TorBrowserBundle and none of my settings, bookmarks,preferences,and add-ons were migrated to the new version. Have you had trouble with this before? I did not replace my older version, so can I migrate these settings and add-ons like is possible with the bookmarks HTML file export?

We are currently running 10.8.5 with Workgroup manager 10.8 and Server App 2.2.5
My question is, would there be any modifications i would need to make to your instructions for them to work on the above os and app version?

Permissions error messages when migrating presets/preferences (Mac)

When the program starts it asks if I want to take the preferences from CS5.1 and migrate to 6 but when I say yes it gives me all kinds of error messages that the files are locked and when I quit it says it can't say my preferences
Would you like to migrate presets from the following versions?

When quiting PS - error message - Could not save Preferences because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to ensure the file is unlocked and you have permission to access the file. If the problem persists, save the document to a different file or duplicate it in the Finder.

I'm sure a lot of work went into this feature, but...
Automated upgrades are always highly called-for but in practical terms almost never good to do.
Trying to save a little time in setting a brand new application up seems a little silly, given that it's not a given that all your preferences and settings from the old version will be directly applicable to the new version, and an automated transfer could copy some problems latent in your old settings to the new version.
Why not just install the new version afresh, then go through and review all the settings and make appropriate choices? You need to get familiar with the new version anyway.
Then, if later you find out something's missing or seems different, you can always fire up the old version and note or save the settings and make the same settings in the new version.
This is more years of experience than I care to admit talking.

Migrating all preferences/settings to another system.

I'm about to switch to a new system. I've read some posts about transferring the actual library over and getting LR to "see" all the photos on the new drive, but I'm still unclear how to migrate the LR settings over to the new system. I want to transfer the LR preferences, as well as things like the Jeffrey Friedl's Metadata presets and Configuration customizations, over to the new system as smoothly as possible. Unfortunately, it's been so long since I set things up that I can no longer remember how I did it or what changes I made.
Do I need to start from scratch and re-learn all this stuff again, or are there tricks to getting the new system set up like the current one with minimal effort? I was hoping that I could copy some files/folders over to the new system such that a new LR install would automatically be set up like the current one.
Thanks,
Larry

Take a look at the FAQ for location of preferences. Move that file.
In addition, your presets and so on are located in basically the same location. You might as well copy the entire folder over to the new system.
Jeffrey's configuration tool creates a translatedstrings.txt file in your Program Files\Resources\En folder, IIRC. You can copy that one over too.
Those along with your catalog ought to do it.

How to migrate user preferences from BO XI R2 to BO XI 3.1

Is there any way we can migrate the user preferences from BO XI R2 SP4 (on Solaris UNIX) to BO XI 3.1 SP3 (on Solaris UNIX)?

Hi Anshuman,
You can migrate the user preferences using the Import Wizard.
There was an issue (ADAPT01447740) in XI3.1 covered by the following note:
1519979 - Infoview Preferences are not imported properly
So I would ensure that your 3.1 SP3 destination system is patched upto the version which includes that fix i.e. at least FP3.2.
I hope this is a very helpful answer to you.
Kind regards,
John

Migrating and Preference Files

Hey!
Just got a new iMac, and it came with 10.9.2 installed. I'm migrating over from 10.6.8. Instead of migrating everything, I wanted to have a fresh start, so to speak, and leave behind many years, and many OS's, worth of accumulated cruft, especially old apps and prefs. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of selecting "Other Files and Folders," or something like that, and did end up with all of my old prefs files on the new machine.
My question is this: What can I NOT safely toss from the prefs folder?
Back in the day, the pre-OS X days, one could safely toss anything residing in that folder, and it would be automagically recreated next time the associated app was launched. But, I've been led to believe that is no longer the case. Can someone who actually knows, please set me straight?

Tony T1 wrote:
A lot of the preferences are now stored in the Library/Containers Folder.
If you can, best to start over.
Backup first (Time Machine or a Clone)
Boot into recovery (hold ⌘R on boot), then erase the Macintosh HD drive and then Reinstall OS X.
Those items in the Containers directory are all Apple (and Mavericks) files, and so would not be what I'm interested in. Perhaps if I didn't have over 600 GB worth of files to transfer again, I might consider "starting over." As it is, I'd much rather toss the handful of uneeded files. Which is why I'm asking if there are any files within the ~/Library/Preferences directory which cannot be safely tossed. Anyone know the answer to that?

Can't find iphoto library after time machine migration of 2011 imac to osx 2014 imac

I recently purchase latest 5K Retina display iMAC with Yosemite. Had a 2011 Intel iMAC it had a flash drive with latest iphoto library. An older iphoto library was located on the standard HD on the 2011 iMAC. EVerything on this computer was backed up with Time capsule.
When I purchased new computer, I used migration assistant and the Time capsule to migrate files to new iMAC. The newer iphot libray is present but cant find the older one.
What did I do wrong?

Download Find Any File (www.macupdate.com) and do a search for the library.

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.

Poor Processing Performance after Migration from SSRS 2005 to SSRS 2014

Hello all,
a customer is moving from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2014 (clean install on a new machine). There are a lot of reports against an Analysis Services database. I have converted and deployed the reports. Most of them are showing a significant performance
improvement, but some of them became very slow.
Analyzing the report server's execution log I have discovered that the rendering time has increased very much (see picture for a specific report below - above the blue line is SSRS 2005 on an older machine, below is SSRS 2014 on a new machine).
Do you have any hints what I can do?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Gerald

Thank you for your reply. Cumulative Update 4 has already been installed (I have just compared the installed version number with the list on
sqlserverbuilds.blogspot.com).
My first suspicion was also a rdl conversion problem. But as even reports with a blank page where showing this rendering performance problem I began to look at the datasets (although they are executed very fast according to the report server's
execution log view).
All MDX queries have been designed using the
Analysis Services MDX Query Designer. The option for not showing empty cells is activated to supress empty rows. But this option always applies to both axes (when usings the query designer). Thus columns for measures with null values in all rows are omitted
from the result set. When rendering a report the rsMissingFieldInDataSet-Error is shown, but in SSRS 2005 and also in the Data Tools for SQL Server 2014 this has no further impact.
But SSRS 2014 is performing very bad in this case. If I remove the NON EMPTY clause for the columns (which only works when switching to the text query builder, so the customer is not able to modify the queries anymore) the report performance will be as expected.
So far there're only two reports left where this does not solve the performance issue.
During testing I have also observered the BIDS - SQL 2008 R2 Warnings not clearing-bug which can be reproduced by everyone except
Microsoft ;)

Gerald

CC 2014.2 settings migration

Hooray! I've finally updated CC.. However, following through on these procedures..migrating settings and plug-ins for After Effects CC 2014 (13.0) | After Effects region of interest
And have come across another issue.
"At the bottom of the General pane in the After Effects Preferences dialog box is a Migrate Previous Version Settings button. If you have After Effects CC (12.x) installed on the same computer, then clicking that button will give you a dialog box with an option to migrate settings from that version to After Effects CC 2014 (13.0). If you choose to migrate settings, then you need to restart After Effects for the new settings to be loaded.
The settings that are migrated include preferences, keyboard shortcuts, output module templates, composition settings, render settings, and interpretation rules."
I have just updated and all the old software is on here as I haven't touched anything, but as I try to "Migrate previous version settings" I'm told no previous versions of After Effects can be found... What on earth am I supposed to do here?! I'm updating from cc12.2.1.5. I just want my workspaces moved across from the old version!
I'm also having trouble checking/ updating the cuda supported cards? I normally manually add my own but the txt file is non existent in it's usual place. Does anyone have info on this as my research is inconclusive.
Any info is greatly appreciated. Not much of a version junkie so this is all new for me..

The Migrate Previous Version Settings functionality looks for preferences folders from previous versions of After Effects in your user account. You can see which folders are present by opening After Effects preferences folder; click on the Reveal Preferences In Explorer/Finder button at the bottom of the Preferences > General window.
If there are no folders here for your previous version (ex., a folder named 12.2), that is why After Effects CC 2014.2 (13.2) is reporting that it can not find preferences from a previous version. Are you using the same user account on this computer that you have used for After Effects CC (12.2)?
If such a folder does exist, please file a bug: http://adobe.com/go/wish
Regardless of the preferences migration functionality or what user account or computer generated the preferences, you can copy the Workspaces.xml file, ModifiedWorkspaces folder, and OriginalUserWorkspaces folder between the preferences folders for different versions.
I'm also having trouble checking/ updating the cuda supported cards? I normally manually add my own but the txt file is non existent in it's usual place. Does anyone have info on this as my research is inconclusive.
If your GPU is not on the list of supported GPU's for CUDA acceleration of the ray-traceed 3D renderer, you can enable After Effects to try to use untested, unsupported GPU's. In Preferences > Previews, click on the GPU Information button, then turn on the Enable Untested, Unsupported GPU... option. (This option was added in After Effects CC (12.1). Please heed the warning dialog that appears when you enable this option.)

InDesign CC 2014 hasn't copied across shortcuts or preferences

Opened InDesign CC 2014, after getting a random update for my entire Creative Suite installing all new programs, only to find it hasn't copied across any of my shortcuts or preferences as highlighted under the 'seamless update' part of 'what's new'.
Really disappointing considering the amount of issues I've had with InDesign since the previous CC update a week or so ago.
Does anyone know of an easy fix? Or do I have to go and set-up my shortcuts and preferences again?

You can also migrate the preferences manually from Edit>Migrate Previous Local Settings.
Seamless update will bring the settings from the same locale i.e if you have InDesign CC (International English) and you installed InDesign CC 2014 (International English) then the settings will migrate but if you installed InDesign CC 2014 (North America), settings will not migrate. This feature supports previous version from CS6 onwards, so it will not work if you have CS5.5 and older settings.

Recovering Dreamweaver 3 preference and site info, ultimately migrating to cs5.5 on Windows XP

I had a hard drive failure in windows xp and have reinstalled windows xp and dreamweaver 3. I have a backup of all my dreamweaver 3 files from the old machine, for example &sitename.dws, &sitename Changed.txt, &sitename Live.dws, &sitename Changed.txt. I would like to have all my preferences, ftp info, etc. restored but cannot find any documentation on how to do that in Dreamweaver 3.
I tried replacing the following files with the backup versions:
C:\Progam Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver3\Configuration\SiteCache
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver3\Configuration\SourceFormat.txt
as these were the only files I saw that appeared to have been modified by using Dreamweaver on the XP machine before the drive failure.
Is there any Dreamweaver 3 documentation about the names of preferences files, site files, and how to replace the default install files with backed up versions?
All help is sincerely appreciated as I have not been able to figure this out on my own. I considered just replacing all the DW install files with my backup, but that would probably mess up the registry and I can't chance that.
Ultimately I will be moving to CS5.5--if I ever get my backed up information into my newly installed Dreamweaver 3, is there a way to migrate those preferences, site info, etc. to CS5.5?

Murray 'ACP', you are correct--DW3 does not have the option to back up to *.ste files, so I believe that pzciena is correct in stating that site information in DW3 is found in the registry and I can't recover that using files from my drive backup. The reason I asked the question is because I am having trouble when using the FTP "Put" function to FTP files over to my website. The "Put" operation creates a subdirectory to the root file on the host.
The host directory is named "web" and I specify /web in my dreamweaver remote host site definition. The "Put" operation creates a subdirectory using the same name as my local files subdirectory. That is, on the local side, the file I am "put"ting is in subdirectory /hostsave and when it FTPs to the remote side, it creates a directory named "hostsave". I deleted that directory on the remote side and tried FTPing a second time and it created the directory again. This does not happen if I use Ipswitch to FTP the file, but I would prefer using the file transfer within dreamweaver since it checks to make sure I'm ftping all the image files in the .html file I'm PUTting.
I obviously have not re-created something correctly in redefining my site. ????
