Migrating settings, actions, plug-ins etc. from CS5 to CS6 (Creative Cloud)

Hi,
I wondered if someone could help me with the transition from CS5 to CS6 (Creative Cloud). I'm on a Mac with Mountain Lion.
I would like to migrate as many settings (i.e. workspaces where relevant), personal Photoshop actions, plug-ins (i.e. Type DNA, FontShop [Photoshop], Scriptographer [Illustrator] and Blurb Template Creator [InDesign]) as possible from CS5 to CS6. What is the easiest and smoothest way to do this?
Some settings, actions and plug-ins might not work with CS6, I don't know. I can't find where my Photoshop actions are archived atm.
Can I import extensions from Adobe Extension Manager CS5 to Adobe Extension Manager CS6?
Should I uninstall all CS5 apps? I'd like to keep InDesign CS5 for backwards compatibility at least.
Does Audition completely replace Soundbooth? What about Flash Catalyst, Device Central and OnLocation?
Edit: I have already installed all the Creative Cloud applications btw. But I haven't uninstalled any CS5 apps yet.
Thanks,
Eivind

Hi Elvind,
I would suggest keeping both CS5 and CS6 versions on the system until you are fully transitioned, longer if you want. When you launch Photoshop CS6 it will ask you if you want to import settings from the prior version. Third party plug-ins may or may not be compatible between versions so you might need to check with the manufacturer to find out. You would most likely need to reinstall any third party plug-ins that integrate into existing Adobe product installations though.
I found this document for Photoshop CS6
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preset-migration-photoshop-cs6.htm l
For the PS actions, I normally open the actions panel, highlight the actions set (folder) I wanted to migrate, from the flyout menu of the panel choose the option to save the set, this creates the .atm file. There is another option for importing actions in the same menu.
I can't speak to migrating in relation to the other products. I would recommend posting in the respective product forums.

    Hi, I have recently downloaded a trial version of Ps CC (I am still using Ps CS6). All my presets have migrated very nicely to the CC version from the CS6 one. However, I can't find any of the plug-ins which I have in CS6, such as Imagenomic Noiseware, Google NIK Collection, etc. in the CC version. How do I "migrate" the plug-ins to Ps CC? I would appreciate some help with this. Thanks

    Plug-Ins are not Presets.  You need to install Plug-in into CC just like you had to install Plug-ins into CS6.

    Please follow the instructions in the article from the above post. In fct you have a second suspicious file showing on your report so look specifically at and scan files ''gblrofmx.dll'' & ''sprotector.dll''
    If possible I suggest you quarantine the files rather than deleting them immediately. Also note that you may need to start Windows in safe mode (or Windows safemode with network access) in order to find and move or delete the files.

  • How do I switch plugins from CS5 to CS6?

    How do i switch plugins from CS5 to CS6?

    Welcome to the forum Steven,
    Do you have specific ones you wish to migrate?
    I think with CS6 I believe the underlying architecture for plugins was changed, so you may wish to check with the makers to see if they have CS6 compatible update versions available.
    I think some had to be re-written under the new framework to be compatible under CS6.

  • Importing site from CS5 to CS6

    I have been moving my sites from CS5 to CS6.  At the same time I am making the switch to FTPS for all the sites.
    On one specific site, I exported, imported into CS6, then made the FTPS changes needed for Yahoo hosted sites.  However, I failed to remember that this site has a different password, which I don't have access to, and I typed over the password.
    I thought if I deleted the site in CS6 and imported the .ste from CS5, I would restore the password.  Alas, I am getting a password/login failure error message.
    Was my logic in the re-importing invalid?
    I also tried to cut/paste the password from the CS5 site I still had available into the CS6 site, but this did not work either.
    Any suggestions other than contact Yahoo for assistance?

    One other thing that you can do with respect to usernames and passwords on sites is to use Apple's Keychain Access. The folks at Adobe were very smart and they place usernames and passwords into your Keychain Access file every time you create a site and give it a server.
    Simply go to your Spotlight search and type "Keychain Access" then click on it and look for your site. You will have to enter your user password to view passwords in Keychain Access, but it will let you re-establish your connection with your web host if you define a new site and mess things up in Dreamweaver.

    Adobe CS 5.5 is not available for sale from any reliable source, including Adobe.
    If you see offers for the product on other websites, BEWARE! It's highly likely that they are bogus software, which is not legally obtained or licensed.
