Moving to a new PC soon...

I want to make sure that my print and document pre-sets are moved. If I look in the presets folder for CS3, I see 2 files - "Saved Document Presets, and Saved Print Presets." I assume I simply save those 2 files and copy them in the same location once CS3 is installed on the new PC. Is that correct?

Workspaces are in your profile at \Documents and Settings\<User Name>\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 5.0 in a folder called, drumroll please, Workspaces. You'll also see an XML file there called Active Workspace, along with the first half of the prefs, called InDesign Defaults. The other half of the prefs is in \Documents and Settings\<User Name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 5.0\Caches and is called InDesign Saved Settings. In this situation, if you want to basically plug your old settings into the new machine, I'd be tempted to copy the entire Adobe sub-directories and paste into the correct places in you new profile on the new machine. Since we're looking at worms, here, you might consider just making a copy of your entire user profile directory so that you can import your old email and stuff like that, too, if it isn't stored externally. (Edit: That's not quite as simple as cut and paste)

Help moving iTunes to new computer

My old computer died, but I was able to get the hard drive to work as an external. I have the library.itl and library.xml files on this external hard drive.
What I've done so far. Put all the music in the iTunes music folder on the new computer. iTunes does not see these files. Then I replaced the xml file on the new computer with the one from the old computer and did a replace all correcting the location of the music folder. Then I deleted the library.itl file (I found this suggestion somewhere) and restarted iTunes. Nothing happens. Am I missing an important step?
I really don't want to lose my playlist/rating data. I have 48 GB of music that was organized nicely when my old computer bit it.
An anybody help me with this?
Thanks in advance.

This might not be the right answer but.... If you can see the files on the old hard drive. Have you tried to make a back up disc(s) of the iTunes files? I had a B-Tree error and lost all my iTunes files that I had not backed up in four months. I went to the local Apple Store in Norfolk VA and the bastards there would not even look at my external hard drive. I ended up going to Best Buy and they helped me...... some.
As far as moving to a new Apple Computer, I've always connected the two computers via a firewire cable and started the one in the Terminal mode.Everything moved from the one to the other.
Good Luck! Hope you can get some help soon.

Moved to a new Mac - iTunes Media horro

Hi,
this drives me crazy: I moved to a new mac and can not get my iTunes to work.
iTunes just does not find my media files.
My old setup on a PowerMacG4 was:
folder iTunes with libraries in my home folder, but the music was on another volume
So inside the "iTunes Music Library.xml" (thats how it is named in the old iTunes) there is the entry
<key>Music Folder</key><string>file://localhost/Volumes/blabla/Musik/</string>
pointing to the folder on the volume where my media files are.
Every media file has an entry in the xml, where the key "Location" points to the exact folder the file is located, e.g.
<key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/Volumes/blabla/Musik/Alexandra/Die%2 0Legende%20einer%20Sa%CC%88ngerin/Mein%20Freund,%20der%20Baum.MP3</string>
I used "Migration Assistant" to move data from old disks to the new mac. Having connected the old volume blabla new iTunes found the files.
Having renamed the volume blabla iTunes still found the files and replaced all Location references. Magic?
So i copied all the media to my new mac to a new location and told iTunes (prefernece location of iTunes media) where my media files are.
Does not work. It still believes the file are on volume blabla. It never looks into te files copied to the new location!
Hmmm, so i looked inside the "iTunes Library.xml": The "Music Folder" is set correctly, but the files location points to the old volume.
Doing a replace for all locations in the xml doesn't work either, probably the itl-file holds the same information?
If i start iTunes again, it ovewrites all my changes made to the xml.
Not giving up yet, because I have read that if the itl is invalid, it gets rebuild from the xml i zap the itl and start itunes again. -> no more media files in the library.
I do not understand where iTunes stores its information, why there are two Library files (itl and xml) and which one is leading.
Please: how can i get itunes to recognize my media files.
This is the worst interface I've ever seen. I only want to move my media files and iTunes just does not let me do it :-(

The iTunes Library.itl file holds the key information. The .xml file is for third party support. If you have access to a working version of the library on the old machine then you can use the process in this thread to make your split library portable. Since the media has already been copied over you would then just need to copy the library files again while putting everything into the correct layout.
If that isn't possible it may be that you can trigger iTunes into fixing your broken links. Having set the media folder to the correct path in preferences, highlight a single broken tracks and attempt to Get Info. When iTunes complains the tracks is missing use the option to locate the track. iTunes should offer to attempt to fix other broken links based on the path to this one.

Well where is your library located now if not in the iTunes folder? See the links below on what your iTunes folder should look like and put it back together:

I received LR 5 for Christmas but have not downloaded it yet on my computer. I have had LR 3 for about 4 years. I am due to buy a new computer soon but need to know how many licenses/downloads I will get before downloading LR 5 on my current computer. I may also purchase a laptop in the next year so that would require 3 licenses altogether (current iMac, future iMac, future macbook).

You have one license.
You can download and install it on an infinite number of computers, as long as it is only installed on two of your computers at any one time, and in use on only one computer at any given time.
So in your case, current iMac, that's would mean its installed on one computer, no problem. Future iMac and future MacBook ... so if you uninstall from current iMac and install on Future iMac and future MacBook, it's now installed on two computers at a time, no problem, as long as you're not using Lightroom on both simultaneously. And if after that, you got two new computers and uninstalled Lightroom from the previous two, you're still good, it's only installed on two computers at any one time.

I'm moving an internal hard drive from an old computer to a new computer. How do I transfer the catalog data to my new computer so the Organizer of Photoshop Elements 6 will find the data on the hard that has been moved to the new computer?

I'm moving an internal hard drive from an old computer to a new computer. (My new compute runs Windows 8.1) How do I transfer the catalog data to my new computer so the Organizer of Photoshop Elements 6 will find the data on the hard that has been moved to the new computer? Is this possible or do I have to use the procedure of copying the catalog along with the photos to a back up hard drive and then restore them on the new computer?

The 'normal' procedure is to do a PSE organizer backup (not a copy or a backup from external tools) to an external drive, then a restore to the new location.
The advantage is that you have a backup of both catalog and media files and you don't have all disconnected files, which would happen with external backup tools. Also, if you restore with a more recent elements version, the catalog will be automatically updated to the new format.
The drawback in your situation is that you'll have either to overwrite all your files or restore to a custom location, creating a duplicate photo library (which supposes you have enough free space).
It would be possible to simply use the organizer in the old PC to move the catalog to a new 'custom' folder just under your C: root drive. The catalog would be accessible once the drive will be installed in the new PC. Then you would have all files 'disconnected' due to the fact that all your media files are now on a drive with a different letter. Reconnecting a whole library is a hard job with PSE6, less so with PSE11/PSE12.
If the idea of fiddling with the sqlite database with external sqlite manager tools is ok for you, I can describe the process more in detail. You only copy your catalog folder (as suggested above) to another location. Instead of trying the 'reconnection' way, you install the sqlite utility on the new computer. When the old drive is installed in the new computer, you simply edit a given record in the catalog database, catalog.psedb, and start the organizer with your copied catalog by simply double clicking the 'catalog.psedb' file.
Even if the last solution is much, much quicker, I would still create a new PSE backup : you have never too much safety .

Moved to a new address - Activate without a Technician?

I moved to a new apartment within the same building as my old apartment. The apartments are FiOS Ready, so I don't have to worry about running wires, installing an ONT, etc. In fact, the apartments were wired with ethernet ports specifically for FiOS when they were built, and I have already identified and configured the switch in the closet/ wall which controls which ethernet port in the various rooms is used for FiOS.
I've terminated and moved my FiOS service from my old apartment to my new apartment via My Verizon already. However, the soonest date the online scheduler listed to have a technician come out is a week from now (which I've scheduled). It is completely unacceptable for me to be without internet for a week.
Can I activate my moved FiOS service without a technician needing to come?

You will need to call customer service and see if they can change you to a self install or change your tech date. either way you need customer service.

Moved to a new house and now i can't send emails but i can receive them

I just moved to a new house and now i can not send emails but i can receive them...

New houses can do that.
We need more info - what email service is this issue about. Do you use several (gmail, yahoo, icloud,...) and is this issue the same for all? If you also use a computer or other device, is this issue common to them all?

I have a eMac PowerMac4 and use quarkXpress (v 5) and filmaker pro 6 (v 1) and will be purchasing a new iMac soon. Will I have problems using these programs?

I currently have an eMac and will be buying a new iMac soon and need to use the QuarkXpress (have v. 5) and FileMakerPro (have 6 v. 1) software for a current formatted newsletter I produce. While I can get the latest version of FileMaker pre-installed by Apple, Quark is no longer available at Apple. If I purchase QuarkXpress 8 (I have read there are problems with v. 9), will I be able to add my current files to the iMac and have everything work? Thanks.

I found that the QuarkXPress (v. 5) has the ability to Export and Save As....
I tried save as, but didn't see any way to have it saved as anything other than the Quark.
I also have found this in a apple forum:
This solved my questionRe: Will Quark 7.5 work with the new Lion upgrade?
Aug 31, 2011 7:35 AM (in response to machttps)
Have just installed Lion and Quark 7.5 works well plus Adobe CS3 with the Java Run updates etc very pleased with the new Lion from Appple.
I don't understand how this poster could get Quark to work on Lion, I thought I read Quark requires rosetta to run it (or maybe the Fix for the end of August took care of that). However, this person had the 7.5 already, but I can only upgrade to a certain level while in Tiger, so this apparently is where the problem arises (?).
I also have come across a disc to update Quark to 5.01, but that's not much I suppose.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

I exported my passwords to a flash drive, and have a new computer. How do I get those passwords moved to the NEW machine?

Firefox doesn't have an "export" feature built into it for password data.
Exactly what did you do to "export" your passwords?
Did you use this extension?
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/password-exporter/
If so, see the screenshots on that page to see the Import function.
If you copied the two files that are used for storing passwords from the old computer to back them up, just copy those 2 files into the Profile folder on the new computer to restore them.

SoundBlaster X-Fi Driver Installation Fails After Moving Soundcard to New Slot

NSoundBlaster X-Fi Driver Installation Fails After Moving Soundcard to New Slot4 I recently moved my X-Fi Elite Pro soundcard to a different PCI slot to accommodate my new large PCIE graphics card.
Prior to moving the card, my?original SoundBlaster install went fine without any trouble. When I booted up after relocating the card,?it was not detected at all. So I uninstalled my SoundBlaster driver software and?rebooted the computer?thinking that was necessary to clear any hardware configuration settings from the old install. This made no difference. I then discovered my card was not seated properly and corrected it.
Next I installed the SoundBlaster driver software. The installation proceeded and finished with a request to restart the computer. Once I did, the computer detects my card and starts the hardware installation wizard asking if I want Windows to search online for driver software. It does not recognize the just installed SoundBlaster driver installation. I have a dual boot setup and this happens in both WinXP Pro and Vista 32 Home Premium.
What's wrong here?

Forget it folks...couldn't wait for any suggestions so I just cleaned off my hard dri've and reinstalled everything. Works fine.

Moving to a new PC soon...
