Move settings from one computer to another

I am migrating to a new computer and want to take some of the custom settings I have made with me.
I have already moved the compressor settings. That was easy - I just copied the 'Settings' folder from the library on the old computer to the new one.
For Final Cut Pro X settings (custom colours, etc) this does not seem to be as straightforward as there does not seem to be a 'Settings' folder in the Library.
The main thing I want to move are the custom colour swatches I have set in the colour pallette. We do a lot of corporate work so have set swatches according to our clients specifications. I don't want to have to re-enter all of these.
Do the colour swatches live somewhere else outside Final Cut Pro X?

I need to move settings from one computer to another

Hello All,
After a computer failure, I need to move the DW CS4 settings (this may not be the best term to use, but bear with) from the dead computer's hard drive (drive works fine) to another machine.
Specifically, all the settings in Site Manager...I really don't want to enter all that in manually, as I have over a dozen sites to maintain.
Is there a way to do this? Copy a certain folder or folders, or a utility in DW?
I have a 2-bay e-sata drive dock attached to the second computer so I can access the files no problem.
Many thanks in advance!
Sincerely,
wordman

Bregent is correct about WIndows.
What I was stating is that if this is the original drive from the other computer it is a bootable drive. What you would normally do in this instance is tell the OS that you want to boot from the remote drive and not your C:/ drive in the working computer. On a Mac this can be done by holding down the option key on a restart ( http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1310 ). Then you are prompted to select the disk you want to boot. I believe Windows has a similar feature usually using the F keys on startup. Another way to think of the booting from other drives is that normally the BIOS will look in the USB or CD drive before looking at your hard drive to boot in case you were doing an OS upgrade. Otherwise, when you restarted, it would ignore the CD/USB installation and go straight to the hard drive.
If you are on a Mac I know the files are in the Library somewhere, but I don't know the exact filename and I can't find a KB article pointing to what you should be looking for. But if you are doing this I would be selective and only look for the Adobe and Dreamweaver files and nothing else.

Can I move photos from one computer to another using Vault?

Can I move photos from one computer to another using Vault? I use an external hard drive as a vault for my Imac and I want to import photos to my Macbook pro. I have aperture 3 on both units. Can I just plug the ext. drive into the laptop and import from the vault?

You can't import from the vault but you can restore that vault onto the MBP. This will restore the complete library that is contained in the vault.

I want to move ebooks from one computer to another.

I want to move ebooks from one computer to another. Both have Digital Editions installed. Older one 2.0 ver has books installed. Newer one has ver 3.0 no books installed. Both are authorized with the same user id. Do I have to upload from older machine to cloud first? How do I do that? Do I have to manually transfer files? How do I do that? Can I get pointed to online directions someplace?

Figured it out. Copy files to new computer and add to library from digital additions. duh. Why was it some much easier to figure out answer once I posted the question?

Moving Movie Rentals from one computer to another

Is there a way to transfer an iTunes movie rental from one computer to another. I purchased it on one laptop but wish to play the movie on another laptop. It does not show up in the list on the other computer even though it is a shared laptop

Sorry, but transferring a rental from one computer to another is not possible, at least not directly. It might be possible by transferring the rental to an iPod/iPhone and then transferring back to the second computer, though I don't know for sure.

Copy lightroom 4.4 "default camera settings" from one computer to another?

Is it possible to copy my lightroom 4.4 "default camera settings" from one computer to another?

Quote "Are you saying that the settings are stored in the catalog."
I believe it is stored in the Preferences file. You can use presets to do the same thing as adjusting the "default develop settings", they are applied differently.
One is set in the Lightroom "Preferences" and one is applied by selecting a particular preset at import. I have not tried but since you can delete the preference file and Lightroom will rebuild one I am pretty sure you should be able to copy one from one computer to another.
Also you need to be aware that Lightroom applies noise reduction by default to your specific camera model and to the ISO setting. It does not display the actual settings.

HT1657 how do you move a movie rental from one computer to another computer

I rented a movie from iTunes and downloaded it to my Macbook Air.
I now want to watch it on my iMac, but it tells me its authorized to play on another computer.
FAQ says I need to move it from one computer to another.
How do I do this?

You may be able to move it by syncing it to an iPod or iOS device capable of playing it and then using the Transfer Purchases function; it won't play on the destination computer if moved in the normal way.
If it can't be moved that way, no.
If the MacBook Air isn't usable, ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

How do I move ITunes from one computer to another

I am trying to move my ITunes from one computer to another. I downloaded ITunes on my new computer and loged in with my account information. Then I pluged my IPod into the comuter and imported all my songs. I thought that everything would come over but none of my apps did. I want to synce my IPod up with my new computer how do I do it?

Backup everything to an external hard drive with this User Tip.
Use the same process to clone the library into a new empty iTunes folder on the new computer.
Deauthorise the old box if you don't need to access protected content on it any more.
Use SyncToy from time to time, and in particular before every iTunes update, to keep the backup up-to-date.

Can I transfer an iTunes movie rental from one computer to another?

A movie I rented on one PC with iTunes Windows won't transfer to my main PC. I'm using the latest version of iTunes and Windows 7.
I also have an iPhone 4s with iOS 6. I can't transfer the movie rental there either.
(I want the movie on my main PC, because only that PC will show it on my TV. Both PC's are suthorized.
Help!

Sorry, but rentals cannot be transferred from one computer to another. Unless someone's found a trick I haven't seen, if you want the rental on your main PC, you'll have to pay to rent it again. As to transferring the rental to your iPhone, see:

Trying to move VI from one computer to another w/ all sub VI's

Hi all
New to the community, LabView, and computer programming; needless to say, I need some help. I'm trying to move a VI from one computer to another, and this VI has a number of subVI's used in it. When I tried to move the VI itself, I'm not able to run it on the new computer because the subVIs aren't there; in their place are a number of gray question marks. I figure I need to go find the subVI's on the other computer and move them over as well, but (a) the computers I'm working on are so disorganized and jumbled that I can barely find anything and (b) there's a lot of subVIs that need moving, and doing an individual search for each would take forever. Is there a way I can move the VI over while automoatically taking the subVIs it uses with it?
Thanks!

The simple solution is the source distribution under the build specifications.
Buy you really should clean up your directory structures. If you can't quickly find a VI, it is next to useless. Then I highly recommend getting a source control software to maintain your projects. Something like Tortois SVN works very well (and is free).
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

Need to move music from one computer to another

Wondering how to move my music from one computer to another. My laptop is being replaced and need to move all my iTunes items from here to a desktop. What is the best/most cost effective way to do this? TY

It is very easy. First get something to transfer your itunes file to the laptop (network$, thumb drive$$ (depending the size), external hard drive$$$ with cost of drive and plus a case it can be costly). Those are in order of slowness! After all those files are on the desktop download itunes. DO NOT download itunes first you will be begging for trouble. Open itunes and it will take a few seconds and it should find the file on it's own. Now all you need to do is sign into itunes agree to all the fun stuff and there you go. I did mine with an external Sata hard drive via esata and it could not of been easier. To find the file you need go into music/my music and find the big file named itunes. just copy and past and let er rip.
Good luck
