PSE 6 & 7 Together and Restore Preferences

I have two questions..
First:  Can I have both PSE 6 and 7 on my computer at once?  The reason I ask is I started a PSE 6 class a couple of years ago.  I had to buy Adobe Classroom in a Book for PSE 6.0.  It came with a CD.
Second: I don't have 6 on the computer right now but I put the CD in and opened lesson 1.  Prior to that I was supposed to Save Current PSE Preferences by dragging them to the Desktop.. I did that.  However, next, I was supposed to:
1. Press and hold Shift+Alt+Control immediately after launching Photoshop.
2. Delete the preferences as the application starts up: by clicking Yes to delete the Photoshop preferences file.
   New preferences files will be created the next time you start Photoshop.
Here is the problem(s).
I do #1 but not sure about #2.  IOW, am I supposed to delete the preferences I drug to the desktop?  Doesn't seem right as there is a following instruction that indicates I can restore the saved settings (desktop?) after completing the lessons. by:
1. Exit Photoship
2. Drag the pref file from the desktop back to the Photoshop 6 Settings folder
etc
Help me understand how to do this.
I also tried to go online help to figure how to do it with PSE7.. seems the same process.  NOthing happens when I press Shift+Alt+Control as I begin launching the app.  It seems to launch as usual.. and doesn't seem to have any popups or whatever to delete as in the top #2.
Confused..
Thanks for any help.

Yes, you can have both versions installed, but not run them at the same time. You need to hold down the keys while starting (not after you start) the editor, not at the welcome screen, and keep them down till you see the window.
There's no reason at all to do anything to preserve the old corrupt settings file, incidentally. That file regenerates automatically when PSE runs. To go to all that trouble to save a corrupt file is pointless. Just press the keys and say yes to the dialog box asking if you want to delete the settings file. If you've been dragging the file to the desktop, you may  not see the dialog box, because as far as PSE is concerned there's no file to delete anymore. You already did, by removing it.

  • How to reinstall mail and restore preferences

    Mail is going crazy on my MBP and MP. I am on IMAP and the spam functions on both my mac won't work. I have tried a restore and nothing will change. I have some rules and preferences that I would like to keep. How do I uninstall mail and do a clean reinstall? I have app cleaner. I also want to reload my junk mail rules and signatures.
    Cheers.

    "Mail is going crazy," is not a very descriptive explanation of your issues. You should provide some details, i.e, what mail service provider are you sing, what error messages are you getting, are you using Mail's junk filtering or a program like SpamSieve, have you tried deleting the Mail accounts and adding them back?
    In any case, don't delete the Mail app, unless you want to reinstall Mavericks, the only way to get it back.

    Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
    You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

  • How do you get firefox 4 to save tabs and windows and restore them? Don't say set preferences to open them on startup or use restore previous session under history; those do not work. Or is it no longer possible to save windows and tabs?

    Question
    How do you get firefox 4 to save tabs and windows and restore them? Don't say set preferences to open them on startup or use restore previous session under history; those do not work. Or is it no longer possible to save windows and tabs?

    '''IT'S A EASY AS IT SHOULD BE.'''
    This is essentially paulbruster's answer, but I've added the steps some might assume, but which aren't so obvious to those of us who are new at this, like me.
    This solution might ''appear'' to be long and complicated, but after you follow the directions once, you'll find it's quick, clean, and simple. Almost like they designed it this way.
    # If you haven't already, open a bunch of tabs on a few different subjects.
    # Click the List All Tabs button on the right side of the tab strip.
    # Select Tab Groups.
    # Create a few groups as described [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-are-tab-groups#w_how-do-i-create-a-tab-group here] , i.e. just drag them out of the main thumbnail group into the new groups they create.
    # Now click on any thumbnail in any new group, but not the original big default group you may have left some tabs in.
    #A regular Firefox window will open, but'' only the tabs in that group will be visible.'' You also now have the Tab Groups button in the tab strip.
    # Right click on any tab, and there it is: Bookmark All Tabs. Click on it in the list of options. Or you can hit Ctrl+Shift+D instead and go straight to the dialogue box from the tab without any clicks. But don't go looking for this familiar option anywhere else, 'cause it's not there.
    # Now pick an existing folder or create a new one just like you would have before and '''shlpam!''' there they are. New folders are supposed to end up in the Unsorted category all the way at the very bottom, but for some reason mine show up at the bottom of my last sorted category.
    # DO NOT CLICK THE UPPER-RIGHTMOST X to close this group of tabs. This will close ALL of your tabs in all groups, currently visible or not. At least it asks if you're sure first. Instead, click your new Tab Groups button to return to the Boxes 'O Thumbnails window, and click the X in the group box you just bookmarked.
    # Click on another thumbnail to repeat the process with another group, or click on a thumbnail in the big default box to return to the original FF window. You can also click the Tab Groups button at the upper right, or Ctrl+Shift+E, which will also get you ''into'' the Boxes 'O Nails window ''from'' FF.
    # So now when you reopen FF after shutdown, simply select your folder from your Bookmarks and Open All in Tabs. '''Just like paulbruster said. '''

  • PSE 4 Docking and Grouping Palettes together

    I'm looking in my manual (page 38)about how to group palettes together and how to dock them together. This whole section seems to be written by someone who hasn't ever really used PSE4.
    What is the difference between grouping palettes together and docking palettes together? And how the heck to I do it?
    What I want is to have my little palettes with there tabs right next to each other kind of like a filing system so when I click on a tab that is the palette that shows up on top. No need for all the expanding and contracting. That's pretty much how it looked in PSE 2.0.

    First of all, drag your palettes out of the bin. Then click the arrow at the upper right of each one and uncheck "close to palette bin.." Then drag the
    tab of one palette onto the tab of another one, the same way you can do in PE2. They should combine into one multi-tabbed palette.

  • Restoring Preferences and Dashboard settings

    Can someone please tell me what files have to be restored in order to revert to a previous set of Preferences, dashboard settings, widgets and Safari preferences? I've tried to restore the preferences file in Library and even the entire Library from several prior backups, but the system seems to go back to the default set every time instead.

    Thanks for your help on this. Although I was restoring from the correct Library, I didn't log out/in after the restore, so the preferences reverted back to default values. I also made the mistake of restoring the entire user Library, so there are now missing files in other areas (such as mail - I had to go to another computer to get your message - still haven't been able to restore the mail files and settings).
    RIght now, I am back to the Preferences I want but need to figure out how to get the mail folders and settings back. Restoring the mail folder from Library doesn't seem to work.

  • How do i reinstall lr5 and restore the backup catalogues. Also preset folder,preferences, preview

    Recently, i had to do a clean re-install of windows 7hp. And also i saved the needed data. of course i lost all of my downloaded software etc.  Their is a second drive on my computer with lightroom;its backups and a folder entitled all my photos. The same material for lightroom is backed up to an external hard drive.   How do i go about re-installing lr5 ,  and restore the catalogue back ups and the other folders.? I need a step by step set of procedures here as i  am a computer stupie.  Thanks for your help!

    Not sure where you came up with these steps from
    Step 1 ... either should work, but the download is the most recent version
    Step 2 ... double-click on the latest catalog backup, yes
    Step 3 ... Catalog is whereever you double-clicked on the backup file, you can move it whereever you want thereafter, using your operating system with Lightroom closed
    Step 4 ... no moving of photos should be needed, definitely NO IMPORTING NO IMPORTING NO IMPORTING NO IMPORTING NO IMPORTING, if the photos are not linked in Lightroom, then follow these instructions http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm and remember NO IMPORTING NO IMPORTING NO IMPORTING NO IMPORTING NO IMPORTING and did I mention that you should not import your photos?
    For future reference, you stated that you had Lightroom and its backups on the same drive ... do not do this ... backups must go on a different physical drive

  • Quick way to restore preferences and profile info?

    hi,
    i was messing around with the profile info when i probably shouldn't have, and threw stuff in the trash i probably shouldn't have. i did this because i was confused as to why i had to profiles in my users folder. so wanted to get rid of it, i don't know why.
    can you help me fix what i screwed up?
    all my preferences are back to defaults. mail.app is missing my accounts and thinks its the first time I've used it, same thing with itunes, and ableton live, also firefox too, address book and ical.
    also, my deleting that extra profile because it "didn't look good", has just gone and made another profile. which has a lot of .plist files in it?
    thanks,

    Good!
    just not the profile. is there anyway i can get that back without having to reenter data for mail.app and itunes?
    If you put it in the trash and then emptied the trash, your best hope of recovery is to quit using the drive and see if Data Rescue or File Salvage (I think that's the name) can recover the data. Data Rescue has a demo mode so you can see what it could recover and decide if it is worth the cost to you. I don't know about File Salvage but I've seen it mentioned occasionally as an alternative. If you used a secure erase option or have such an option enabled, don't bother as the chances these utilities can help are negligible. Beyond these options, you are talking about sophisticated data recovery services with equally sophisticated price lists.
    I'm sorry not to be able to offer something more positive but unfortunately there is no unempty-trash-and-undelete-contents option. Give Data Rescue a shot (I think it is Data Rescue II now). I haven't used it but I've heard very good things about it. You need a separate drive to recover the data to and you will get the best results if you use the machine (or, rather, the internal drive) as little as possible. Unfortunately, restarting will not have helped but at least Data Rescue's demo lets you see what's still there so you can decide if it is worth the price.
    There may be other data recovery utilities around which you could look at but - short of a specialised service - some such utility is your best hope at this point.
    Alternatively, you may wish to chalk this up to experience and move on.
    If you don't trust your install of OS X, I'd recommend taking this opportunity to reinstall yourself. Depending on how your system is configured and your preferences, either archive & install or erase & install. If you choose a & i, though, don't choose to preserve users since your only user account is essentially dead anyway. Doing this may be more work, but it is much better to have a system you trust. I'm not entirely clear what has gone wrong with your installations (other than deleting your home directory, of course), but starting over will give you a fresh start and a known-good system.

  • Backing up and restoring wireless configurations

    I am getting ready to blow away my iBook and do a fresh install of OS X. I use my iBook in a variety of different areas and have it setup on several WEP and WPA protected networks. Basically, I'd like to be able to backup my wireless configurations and restore them once I reinstall the OS.

    I would assume it's the com.apple.airport.plist in you user Library>Preferences folder (network locations/preferences are user specific). Drag it to the desktop and restart Airport. Are your various locations there? No? Then that's it.

  • BPC backup and restore Q&A...

    Dear all:
    See below, and please share your knowledge!
    Situation
    We are in the phase of modifying existing structure. We would like to back up what's in the Production server, and restore onto Development Box and develop and test our modification there using the latest data we have.
    Data
    We have a production server, which SQL service and BPC service are running on separate physical server (as I was told), and a development box, which SQL and BPC are running together in one box.
    A_PRODUCTION is the App Set in the Production Server
    A_DEV is the App Set in the Development Box.
    Below are what I have done and failed:
    1. 
    a. I used "Server Manager" to back up A_PRODUCTION.
    b. I then copied and pasted the backup folder (in which has Web, File, SQL etc sub folders) to the Development Box.
    c. I used "Server Manager" to restore by selecting the backup folder. The Server Manager was able to allocate all the backup files and SQL db.
    d. My Web and File folders are OKed during restore, but my SQL restore failed with an error message.
    2.
    a. We tried to open SQL Server Management Studio, and manually restore the A_PRODUCTION SQL backup (*.BAK) to A_DEV of Development box.
    b. We received the error message, System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: RESTORE detected an error on page (0:0) in database "A_PRODUCTION" as read from the backup set. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo).
    c. We went to option and checked "Overwrite existing database" and still failed to restore.
    3.
    a. I logged on to Development Box's BPC Web Admin, and tried to create an App Set that has the same name A_PRODUCTION as my live database in the Production Server.
    b. The App Set creation failed at OLAP service with an error message saying something about "SalesPerson" column was not found or something.
    c. I noticed that a database named A_PRODUCTION is created Development Box.
    d. I tried method 1 and 2 again to A_PRODUCTION of the Development Box and failed.
    Question
    What is wrong with my approach?
    I have referenced the document https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20a26f50-4252-2a10-8c97-a2c7058cd804, and am confused why we have to backup the master database.
    Secondly, in the document, quoted "Restore Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Database(s): Restore the most recent database backup for APPSERVER, and each of the application set databases.
    (ApShell/ApShellExtra)", what is the difference between "the most recent database backup for APPSERVER", and "each of the application set databases"?
    At last, in the document, quoted "You must use an u2018Open File Agentu2019 to backup Data files that may be in use by the web server.", what does it mean by using an Open File Agent? Is it a type of agent in SQL backup service, or an agent in general that is able to back up open files?
    Thank you!

    Kranthi and Akim:
    Thanks for the reply...
    Kranthi: With BPC Admin ID, I did go back to *BPC Administration\Manage Security* and re-saved the configuration, and I did see the table update in *Database Engine\AppServer\tblAppSetAccess*. I could then grant my Windows ID rights to "everything", but was only able to access BPC Administration.
    Akim: Can you be more specific about delete/recreate orphaned users? Did you mean deleting/creating via SQL Analysis Services AppServer\tblAppSetAccess, or via BPC Administration\Manage Security? In addition, when you mentioned "reset permissions from the application itself", did you mean to modify Task, Member Access Profile, Team, and User, and re-save them again with the same settings?
    I am sorry that this thread has become longer than expected. Here are some updates:
    1. I have two Application Sets which my Windows ID can access: AppShell (default) and App_Dev
    2. I tried to create a new Application Set "App_Dev1" by copying from App_Dev (unchecked database,biz process flows, content library, and live reports). Then I logged in as BPC Admin and added my Windows ID to the System Admin Team, which was modified to have full access to everything. Again the same problem occured -- I could access App_Dev1's BPC Administration area but could not access BPC Excel; same error messages popped out.
    3. I tried to create a new  Application Set "AppShell1" by copying from AppShell (same unchecked everything). Then I logged in as BPC Admin and added my Windows ID to the System Admin Team, which was modified to be able to access everything. Same result as #2
    4. I tried to add myself to the System Admin Team of original AppShell, and I could open BPC Excel.
    My experiments so far concluded the followings:
    --No problem with App_Dev and AppShell in the Development Box
    --I could grant myself access to everything in any new Application Set, but only was able to access BPC Administration
    --BPC Admin ID and my Network Administrator (Domain Admin)'s Windows ID has no problem opening BPC Excel in any Application Set.
    What concerns me now is that even a copy from AppShell is not working as expected... My Network Administrator said it is not an easy process to reinstall BPC Development Server, but I think that's perhaps the only way to fix everything, if the root causes remain mysterious.
    If you have any insightful tip, please share with me as I have spent over a week and cannot progress further... Thank you!!!!

  • How do I back up my itunes to an external hard drive and restore from same if necessary

    How do I back up my entire itunes to an external hard drive and restore from same if necessary.
    Thanks

    This is where iTunes stores backups for different operating systems: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    I do not use a Windows machine, have a Windows Vista Dell I rarely startup now.  But, from what I remember with Win boxes is, you will have to create on the external hard drive a file system like that one iTunes normally uses, and then in the iTunes preferences or control panel edit the location for the storage to specify the name of the external hard drive, or its letter code, with the name of that file system you created on the exernal drive.
    I would also move all of the files from the internal file system to the external since you have now told iTunes that is where they are...before deleting from the internal drive, test iTunes to see that it goes where you want it to go.

  • I need to erase the contents of my phone and restore to factory settings. Does anybody know how to save your texts so you don't lose them?  Can I back those up to iCloud?  My phone was very likely hacked (Apple's advice was to call the police!)

    "I need to erase the contents of my phone and restore to factory settings. Does anybody know how to save your texts so you don't lose them?  Can I back those up to iCloud?  My phone was very likely hacked (Apple's advice was to call the police!)"
    That was all I could put in the initial "box."  Then it brought me to this page with instructions on how to write a good sentence.
    Proceeding ...
    After going back and forth between Apple, AT&T and the police (all telling me to go to the other two) I took AT&Ts suggestion and got a new number. One tech warned against doing a backup, especially on my Mac, saying if my phone had been hacked then whatever bug was there would then invade my computer. But nobody knows how to determine if the phone has been hacked or a virus was planted there. Unfortunately I know who would have reason to do such a thing and all I can say is that he is at the top technologically and could easily do it. Almost impossible to prove, however.
    So I need to preserve my text messages and my emails as well. I backed up my photos to that Microsoft product (One-Drive) and it froze (Surprise, Surprise) with four short videos to go, and no way of stopping that (when I tried it crashed repeatedly) so I'm in crisis mode here.
    Help ...
    Running 8.0 on 5S
    Thanks!

    Betty I don't know if you fixed your hacking problem but I feel your pain. I've seen some strange things going on between my iMac and my iPhone and Apple has told me the same thing, call the police which I have done. The hackers have stole 500.00 out of my checking account have access to every internet account I use and no matter how often I change the password their right back on the account. I closed my FB account 3 times only to have someone reopen it. Right now I've got a link in my reading list (Safari) that if I click on it, it allows me to log onto my FB account anonymously.
    I've seen a green folder come out of no where while I was trying to delete my passwords out of keychain when that green folder was put into the key chain I was immediately locked out. I than went into system preferences to try to make changes to my security settings, when I clicked on the icon it wouldn't open. I've seen log files of automator receiving commands and sending out my personal information thats on my computer.
    I have a legitamate program called iExplorer that allows you to look at the contents of your iPhone back ups and saw a transaction someone made at the Apple store for some full length movies, some albums, ibooks and other apps but when I called the iTunes store and they said none of those items were showing up on my account. If their not on my account how can they be on my iPhone 6? One day someone was using my gmail account and unknowingly used google maps to search for an Italian restaurant, than a Mexican restaurant than a coffee shop and their search showed up on my iPhone but I didn't have my gmail account installed on my iPhone 6. Using my computer I logged onto my gmail account and looked at the maps history and sure enough there were the searches when I'd hover my curser over the link it gave me the longitude and latitude of the where the hacker was when he was using google maps. I know whoever reads this thinks Im crazy but I've documented everything and can prove the things that I have mentioned in this post actually happened.
    One day I had my laptop (pc) and my iMac next to each other as I was using both. when I clicked on airport it showed that my laptop and my iMac had made a connection and were actually communicating with each other. I know I didn't do it I don't know how. The iMac was logged into my iCloud account while my laptop wasn't. I have formatted my iPhone at least a dozen times, Apple and an Apple retailer have formatted my hard drive not to mention the numerous times I have formatted it but the hackers keep getting on my devices. Im formatting my lap top at this very second because during the course of the night I left the ethernet cable plugged into it and they locked me out of my c: drive, and configured the system so I can't download any updates from Microsoft, overtime I type in www.microsoft.com it changes to ww38.microsoft.com which takes me to a blank page. I right clicked on the page I was redirected to and read the java script and couldn't believe that someone had actually configured Internet Explorer to redirect me to a blank page when I tried to go to Microsoft. Apples answer to all this is there was nothing wrong with my iPhone or my iMac and if I thought there was a problem to call the police which I have done.
    Theres no doubt the hackers are reading this while I type it or will read it and I simply don't care anymore. I no longer email anyone, don't use my iCloud account and have taken precautions to protect my credit but if I ever find out who has invaded my privacy to this extreme the police are going to want to talk to me because Im going to hurt them like they've never been hurt before

  • Using Time Machine to backup a iMac G5 and restore to an intel iMac

    Is it possible to use Time Machine to backup my iMac G5 and restore my backup to a new intel iMac?
    The reason being is that I my mother-in-law's company bought her a new intel Mac and she wants to trade with me since she only uses her Mac for e-mail, photos and accounting software.
    I was thinking of making sure her data is preserved by using the migration assistant to transfer her data to my iMac G5 and then using my time machine backup to restore to her intel iMac. I have concerns about this method after reading about the intel/powerpc issues with time machine. I also have concerns that perhaps the version of MacOS 10.5 installed to my iMac G5 will not be optimized for intel.

    Well, not entirely. You cannot install or restore a PPC version of OS X to an Intel Mac because the PPC system will not work on an Intel Mac. You can copy your personal files, most preference files, and third-party applications (although it would be preferable to update all PPC-only apps to universal binaries which perform better on Intel machines.
    Another possible concern is if your mother's company is transferring the ownership to her or simply purchasing the unit for her to use. In the latter case the computer belongs to the company, not your mother. She cannot then give it to you because it isn't hers. This problem should be resolved beforehand because the company may one day want the computer back.
    Folders You Can Move to Your new Mac
    From the Home folder copy the contents of Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites.
    In your /Home/Library/ folder:
    /Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
    Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
    /Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
    If you want cookies:
    /Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
    /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist

  • Restoring Preferences & Settings after Lion Re-Install

    For reasons I regret I decided to re-install Lion, thinking that it might resolve a problem I was having with mail. It was interesting to go through the new process, using the Lion partition set aside on your hard drive... since there are no longer any DVDs involved.
    However, the re-install stripped out all of my Sysytem and application preferences/settings/configurations/ etc. leaving me with a totally screwed up desktop, all my Dock icons missing except the basic Apple set.  Even my apps are almost unrecognizable, since I've spent years tweaking at least a hundred of them to work "just right" for me.
    I'm assuming that everything I need to restore what I had is still in Time Machine, but I need to know specifically what folders to restore. Library>Preferences is an obvious one, but what others?
    Also, do I need to boot from a DVD or other external system to carry out the deed? Right now, when I give it a try, I keep getting a messgae that I can't do it because my OS X is using the folder.
    I have really found this crippling, so please offer suggestions ASAP. If I had known this would happen, I certainly wouldn't have re-installed in the first place. The original install preserved everything.
    All help will be appreciated; but I don't want the kind of advice that says back-up everything, reformat your hard drive and start over from scratch. I don't consider that a solution.
    ...Charles

    Since I didn't receive any replies here anyway, I decided to see if I could do a complete system restore from Time Machine after my original Lion install (when everything was fine) and before I re-installed Lion and lost so many critical settngs, my iCal calendars, dock contents, app settings, etc.
    Luckily there was a one-day window in TM for me to do that.
    Those who don't use Time Machine may have a more difficult time, but I'm declaring that I've solved my own problem this time.
