Problem importing actions from CS3 to CS6

Hi, I have just installed CS6 and need some actions that I made in CS3 and earlier.
Info that I read on support sited said that I should be able to import them.
I have tried the edit import actions menu.
I have tried dragging the old action set to the new version.
All to no avail.
Tried the online live help and got no where.
What I would like to try next is to instal CS4 and see if I can import the action set from CS3 and then onwards from CS4 to CS6
However the support person could not give me a link to download CS4......
Any help greatly appreciated as I really need my old actions and CS6 is a useless to me without them!

You need to load them into Photoshop to use them. Their save files can be any where on your system. Once loaded they are copied into your user id Photoshop preferences. Photoshop load no action set on its one. The default set is in Adobe default set of preferences. This is the only set in the Photoshop default Actions Palette. The action set listed in the action palette's fly-out menu are the one in Adobe Presets Actions and perhaps ones you copied into there or save into a folder Adobe set up for you user id for the current release of Photoshop your using. My advice is do not save any of your actions sets into any Adobe folder. Instead save them into a folder like "My Photoshop Actions" load them from there too or drag an drop them onto Photoshop. Once loaded as I wrote above they get copied into your user id Photoshop preferences. And will be in the Actions Palette when you shutdown Photoshop and re open Photoshop.
Photoshop does not import actions you must load them one way or an other.

How to import actions from CS3 to CS4?

I had a folder full of self-created actions in CS3.
Now that I've installed CS4 I see they did not make the transition during install.
How do I get them imported into CS4?
I can't seem to find them in any Library folders, nor can I get CS3 to run any more now that CS4 is installed.
Any pointers for someone a step above neophyte ?
Vince

Actions are in the PS folder, hope you did not toss the CS3 folder.
From the actions pallet fly out menu select Load selections and navigate to the old PS folder / Presets / Actions or Photoshop Actions (depending on the version) and select the set you want to load.
Or drag them from the old folder to the new folder, they should show up at the bottom of the fly out menu.
This and the other presets are a good thing to backup, BTW !

Importing Actions from CS5 to CS6

I have written many actions for PS CS5 and recently installed CS6. I cannot figure out how to import my old Actions into CS6. I fould the Load Actions dialogue, which tells me to locate the Action(s) I want to load. That's where I get stuck. Tried and tried but cannot locate the CS5 Actions I wrote. I am using OS X 10.7.3. Suggestions?

I am a dullard when it comes to some of these things. Couldn't find a SET NAME command. However, it occurred to me that my Acrions were just in the default set in CS5. I created a new set, moved all of my actions into it, and then was able to do Save Actions without a problem. Of course, that loaded easily in CS6. Problem solved. Just wish that there were a much simpler way.
Appreciate your help. Now all I have to do is figure out the rest of CS6.

Upgrade from CS3 to CS6 -- after market stuff gone!

After my upgrade from CS3 to CS6, my after-market items are not showing up. (Kubota Action Dashboard, Totally Rad Actions RadLab...)
My inexperience assumed that the CS6 would overwrite the CS3 in the upgrade, but now I have two programs....one with my after-market products and one without.
Any help out there??
Thanks in advance...
Dawn

Okay...it's a brand new computer (Dell XPS 8500) and I just bought one of the products before I realized that the CS3 wasn't compatible with Windows 7. Do I delete the CS3 and reinstall the after-market product? Or do I delete the after-market product and reinstall and it automatically finds CS6?
I've been trying to get this running for three days! LOL I'm ready to throw it out the window....
Thanks for your speedy reply and thanks in advance for any more light you can shed on my situation!

Transfer setting from CS3 to CS6

How do I transfer settings, preferences, actions and plugins from CS3 to CS6?
Flash and Photoshop?
I have a few that I purchased from a third party. What folders to move or what files? I want to avoid redundant items if possible when installed in CS6.
Thanks

Please repost in the Flash and Photoshop forums separately. The people who use those programs will be in the best position to help. My bet is that settings, preferences won't transfer. Actions and Plugins maybe. Plug-ins probably have to be updated for compatibility.

Problems importing connections from a SAN directory

Is anybody having a problem importing connections from a directory that's on a SAN?
My network is setup so that the Application Data directory is out on a SAN and when SQL Developer opens up the file dialog, current directory is listed as C:\ and entry in the file name field is file://<server>/<path to my stuff>/Application Data/SQL Developer/. This looks fine but when I click on the "Open" button to get the directory listing, an error dialog pops up with the following message:
The directory C:\file:\<server>\<path to my stuff>\Application Data\SQL Developer is not accessible. Please select a different directory.
When I change the current directory to the drive that maps the SAN location, I get the same message only with C: replaced with another drive letter.
If I had to guess, the dialog is not processing the file:// protocol indicator properly before it attempts to get the directory listing. Does anyone have a work around?

Other users also had problems with network shares, so you're right that might very well be the cause of your problems.
As workaround, try mapping the settings folder to a local drive. Add this to \sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf:
AddVMOption -Dide.user.dir=C:\sqldeveloperHope that helps,
K.

Problem Importing photos from camera to iPhoto

Help. For a while I had no problems importing photos from my camera now I get the following error message:- /private/var/folders/CC/CC5eraW2GGCddoAX3DUGjE+TM/-Tmp-/iPhoto/PICT1015.JPG
Does anyone know what this means? What I have done to my computer to cause this? and how to fix it. Thank you.

Sam
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Launch Image Capture (in your Apps Folder) and use it to move the pics to the desktop. Then try import from there.
If that works, then use your camera to reformat your card, and see if that works in the future.

Problem Importing Music from

Hello, I just setup my network attached storage and I'm having problems importing music from it. I get a runtime error with CTImport.exe "abnormal program termination", nice and informati've (see below). I'm running MediaSource 3.30.2, the most recent version. I can add songs little by little, but anytime I try and import a bunch, I get the error. It's not the length of the pathname either, because I added the longest one individually, and it was fine.
I tried importing from a mapped dri've letter and from the network path directly, both have same problem. I also get the same error from the file sniffer built into MediaSource.
I'm actually running an external USB hard dri've that is attached to Linksys's Storage Link NLSU2 (or something). Don't know if that is the problem. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
<IMG src="http://www.dustinandalison.com/Ebay Pics/MediaSourceError.JPG">

Yes, I originally had all my songs on my local dri've. Anyway, it turned out to be a "corrupt" file. This file was fine in every other media player I had, but MediaSource couldn't do anything with it, not even play it (it was an unprotected .wma). I don't know if that song was originally imported while on the local dri've, but I deleted it and MediaSource imported everything fine.
It was a pain hunting that one song down.
Thanks.

LR2 and importing keywords from CS3 Bridge

I've just started a 30 day LR trial and need some guidance, please, on successfully importing keywords from CS3 Bridge so that the complete heirarchy survives intact.
I've just imported the keywords to LR2 and found the heirarchy is mostly destroyed.
Also, Bridge allows you put a keyword inside "[ ]" (square brackets) if you want/need that word in the heirarchy but do not want it to be copied to the metadata. After importing to LR2, all the square brackets have gone.
I've imported some photos into LR2 but, when I look at their keywords, all the words which were within square brackets (and so not visible in the metadata in Bridge) are now visible in the metadata in LR2.
Anyone found a solution to this, please? I really don't want to have to re-keyword everything if there's another way.
Thanks, John Walmsley

Ginger
I ran a test for you. Started up my old computer that has windows XP OS. Took a photo and added a keyword by right clicking as your previous post outlined. I then looked at photo in Bridge CS3 on old machine. There was no keyword. Copied to flash drive and looked at photo on Vista computer with Bridge CS3. Still no keyword. Ran a search on Vista advanced for keyword on flash drive, and it gave a hit.
So my conclusion is that the keyword is there, but Bridge does not read the XP generated keyword. It will read a keyword generated by same method in Vista. Don't know what else to suggest. Don't have CS4 so do not know it that works or not.
Perhaps with these clues someone else can figure it out.
Good luck

Transferring plug-ins from CS3 to CS6 in Creative Cloud?

How do I transfer plug ins from CS3 to CS 6?

You may want to re-download the plugins from where you bought them and install them fresh for CS6. Or at a minimum check to see if new CS6 versions are available. The underlying architecture changed for plug-ins when CS6 was released. Some developers had to re-write CS6 versions. Some may work, while others may have had to be updated to work with CS6.

Upgrade from CS3 to CS6 font compatibility issues...

i recently upgraded from cs3 to cs6. my old true type font library does not show up in the new software. question: what type format must i buy to be compatible with the cs6 master collection?

Okay...it's a brand new computer (Dell XPS 8500) and I just bought one of the products before I realized that the CS3 wasn't compatible with Windows 7. Do I delete the CS3 and reinstall the after-market product? Or do I delete the after-market product and reinstall and it automatically finds CS6?

Migrate actions from CS3 to CS4

Hi,
I would like to migrate my actions from CS3 to CS4. The CS4 is a new install on a fresh Windows 7, from the CS3 settings I only have a backup of my disk before the new install. Of this backup I checked the "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Presets\Actions" folder but it is empty. In my CS3 I had many actions, sorted in different folders. The other presets (like for curves or the channel mixer) are there, so I am quite confident that my backup worked correctly.
Am I missing something here and can I find the actions of CS3 somewhere else or are they gone for good?
Thanks and regards, Robert

Different folders as in different action sets in the Actions panel right? did you actually use the Save Actions command from the Actions panel menu? If you didn't save them then try copying this file: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings\Actions Palette.psp to the same location but with CS4 instead of CS3 in the path

No. There is no longer an upgrade path from CS3 to CS6.

Upgrading from CS3 to CS6

Can I buy the upgrade only to go from CS3 to CS6 ?

I'm very surprised that Adobe has apparently started a "one version back" upgrade policy.
Yes, it generated a big outcry when it was announced in late 2011.
Originally the dispensation for CS3 and CS4 users did not exist. It was "one version back" across the board, effective immediately. That, frankly, stank. Made everyone mad, not least the habitual version skippers who were stranded on CS3 or CS4 still in the "three versions back" mindset.
Took a lot of concerted campaigning from grass roots users as well as some very influential key Adobe users such as Scott Kelby http://scottkelby.com/2011/an-open-letter-to-adobe-systems/to change Adobe's corporate mind and reintroduce some fairness and sanity to the situation.
Eventually Adobe saw the light and conceded to a 31 Dec 2012 cutoff for CS3 and CS4.
However, I'm expecting to see some irate CS3 and CS4 users in the forums in January 2013.
That said, I personally believe that traditional licensing (pay once upfront and use forever) for Adobe products is in its sunset phase being slowly prepared for retirement. Pure speculation on my behalf. I'm of the opinion that Adobe will go Cloud-only with all its software delivery sometime within the next 5 years so this "one version back" nonsense will probably become a moot point.

Importing INX from CS3 to CS2 problem

Greetings,
I'm working on a 16-page newsletter file saved from ID CS3 to INX that then won't import into CS2. When I try, a list of missing plugins come up that its saying are needed. The thing is, I've done this before and it wasn't a problem. Also, I've tried a blank test INX from CS3 into CS2 and it opens.
I'm assuming there's something in this particular CS3 newsletter file that's causing the snag, but have no idea what I'm looking for or how to fix it. A corrupt font, maybe? or corrupt image file?
I had a similar newsletter file last month that I did the CS3 --> INX --> CS2 thing with, and it worked fine as well. I just repeated that process with those old files and it still works, so the problem is with this new file. I'm not using any new plug ins or doing anything really different this month compared to last.
Any ideas? I'd really rather not have to recreate it from scratch, especially if it may not solve the problem -- it'd take a long time and we're in a bit of a hurry.
Thanks for any help.

I saw the hyperlink in there just by luck -- it was a long document and I was just scanning through, seeing what I could see. I went back to the InDesign CS3 file to remove it via the "Hyperlinks" panel, and resaved as INX, which opened in my CS2.
Unfortunately it didn't open in my colleague's CS2 after all though, which is why we were doing the INX deal in the first place... so we gave up and we're editing it over the phone. Real high-tech.
There really needs to be a plug-in or something next time around, Adobe, or preferably, built-in backward-compatibility like most other apps have. This whole "save as INX" thing is extremely annoying.
