Saving/moving Garageband user settings/instrument strips

Pretty simple question, the answer however may not be..
I'm trying to figure out how to move instrument settings I've created and saved as user presets in GarageBand to a new computer... Is it possible to do this?
Where are the files for these presets held?
I've done lots of Google and Apple Discussions-forum searching, to no avail.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Well, you have named your settings, haven't you? Search these locations for the settings files:
HD/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library
[User]/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library
They should be in one of those folders (or rather subfolders of these). Once you have located them, you can copy them to the corresponding location on the new computer, and they should be available for GB.

Proxy settings moved from User to Machine not removing user settings.

Hi All,
I have recently moved our company's proxy settings from User based to Machine based as we were having issues after moving from an internal proxy to a hosted external proxy. What we found was after turning off the internal some users were no longer
getting external internet.
After some investigation we found they were still getting old proxy settings on login and after a GPupdate.exe or normal gpupdate from the server the correct settings would apply. (happened to users logging on for the 1st time) To prevent this from happening
I moved the proxy settings to the Computer GPO and it all appeared to work in the test GPO and in live. But a few days later we got some calls logged to our help desk stating they don't get external internet. After some more
investigation we found that they are still getting the user policy applied to them even though it has all been removed from the User GPO.
I found if I remove the proxy settings it doesn't always apply to users but if I add info in it always updates to the user. What can be causing this? Some of these users have local admin rights and I thought at first it might be something they
did but now we are getting non admin users with these issues.
We are using IE 10 and have set the original Proxy settings using the GUI internet control panel and are now applying the proxy settings via Registry updates in the Computer GPO and enabled "Make Proxy settings per-machine" object. Our SOE
is Win 7 ent x64 with IE 10 (1500 units) and Win 8.1 ent x64 IE11 (100 units) And some XP SP3 that are in the process of migrating to Win7.
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Nat

Hi Nat,
you wrote: I found if I remove the proxy settings it doesn't always apply to users but if I add info in it always updates to the user.
Does that also happen für new users now after you changed your settings to the computer settings?
I guess you used group policy preferences; that worked as "one time settings", so as long as the policy exists it will be merged with the Settings on the users computer. Please find a detailed description on
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn581922.aspx
So you now have 2 configuration items: your policy as well as the users registry. So to remove that you already moved the Settings from the user configuration to your Computers configuration (that worked as you described) while the Settings
in their HKCU are still there - you Need to either implement another policy to remove that, or you can set it empty.
Don't set it to "not configured" as that will keep your old setting deployed before.
Sometimes I found in more easy to implement another user preference that removed the Registry key with the Registry keys to remove a Setting instead of Publishing a "remove Setting" configuration.

Martin

Xserv - user settings are not saved - help!

I've noticed that user settings do not get saved under OS Xserv...
Whenenver I login I get the default dock, with all the admin icons missing!
The desktop is saved in the root as /desktop/. (?!?)
When the machine was installed the first user was setup as Administrator (Admin) but it was deleted (against my sound advice) and since then things like the FTP server malfunctioned... The keychain seems to pop up a lot as well, and can't be opened / used. And the bookmarks don't get saved as well.
I'm assuming that user settings like the Dock should be saved somewhere.
Please help!
Everything else seems to be running but loosing all UI configurations at log-offs is taking a lot of time which I currently don't have enough of.

Anyone?
I was hoping that I'd get an answer through the forums.
I'll wait till next week and if there's still no post I'll contact Apple's Phone support.
Please post any suggestions - a Mac Server shouldn't be so fragile!

User Settings Not Saved

Hello,
I am using the VB .Net Autoupdater for my app, its working perfect however.
Lets say I am using version 1.0.0.10, Initially when the app ran after I installed it I had to fill in a bunch of user settings via a form a created.
I can close the app, re-open it and the user settings are saved, all is good. Now
I need to make a change and now have version 1.0.0.11 I use the autoupdater and it pulls down the .exe file overwrites the existing .exe.
Now when I launch the app again, the correct version is used however I have to re-enter my user settings again.
How can I preserve my user settings without using a Click Once install?
Thanks
MW

Sure,
I'm always open to learn new ways of doing something.
Thanks
MW
Ok, have a look at the code that I posted on a page of my website here.
It's very specific to what you want saved and how it's to work, so that's what you'll see: It's very much customized to what he wanted.
One important part is what you'll see early on:
Private Shared _instance As Settings
and this:
Private Sub New()
End Sub
Those are private, so only that class can access it. The backing field (variable) is shared so that it's relevant to the class as a whole, not to any instance of it; that is -- there can only ever be one instance of it.
The constructor is parameterless and PRIVATE, so that the consumer of that class can't create an instance; that's only done through the shared method meant to do it:
Public Shared Sub GetInstance(ByRef instance As Settings)
See what I mean?
Still lost in code, just at a little higher level.

Default user settings - prevent them from being wiped out

Elements 6.0 comes with intitial settings. For example:
Select tools have Anti-alias set to On.
The location of dialog boxes is pre-defined, then can be moved by the user. Eg Selection > Feather, Create new layer, all the Enhancements, etc.
Preset manager, Preferences.
Other ease-of-use things I don't remember.
When I exit the program my settings are preserved. The next time I open the program the settings are as I left them.
But if Photoshop exits abnormally, and sometimes when it's just ornery, my settings are back to the factory settings.
I figure these user settings are saved in a file somewhere. If I save the file and Photoshop reverts to factory settings, I should be able to restore the saved file and be back to hunky dory. But what file is it?
Anyone know what file this is, or another way around this nuisance problem?

Yes, you can save the current set of preferences and use those to replace corrupt preference files.
If on Windows, the preferences are in a hidden folder so you'll first have to "show hidden files and folders" on your system.
How to show hidden files and folders on Vista and Windows7:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/show-hidden-files-and-folders-in-windows-vist a/
After you have "hidden files and folders" toggled to show...
If on Vista or Windows 7, type .psp in the start menu search bar, Photoshop elements 6 editor Prefs.psp (or worded similar) will show up in the list. Right click the name and select copy. Right click on your desktop and select Paste from the menu. Once this is done, you should now have a copy of your current editor preferences that you can move wherever you want to save them. You can do the same with the organizer preference file.
If on XP, you'll have to navigate to the file. As with Vista and XP, you'll have to show hidden files and folders first.
How to show hidden files and folders on XP:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows/display-hidden-folders-in-xp/
I believe, the file path you need to navigate to get to your preferences will be:
C:\Documents and Settings\[your user name]\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements.
Note: I would recommend when finished coping your preference files going back and toggling off "show" hidden files and folders.
On Mac, I believe you would find them using the path Barbara gives in post #1 of this thread:

Removing Windows 2003 Group Policy user settings

I'm having a difficult time finding what to do.
I have a windows 2003 domain with many GP settings. One of which I can't find. It has to do with the favorites bar in IE. When a user from a certain OU logs on to any computer with any Windows OS, any favorites saved either to their Favorites
bar, or even in the Favorites folder, disappear on next logon. This happens all the time.
I thought I would create another OU with a BLANK GP and blocked inheritance. I moved a user from the original OU into the test OU, replicated the changes, and rebooted the computer on which the user would log on. The user logged on and the settings
from the original OU still applied.
I created a completely new user in the test OU and no settings were applied, which is what I want.
What is the best way to remove the original OU settings from a user that was in that original OU?
Thank you for any help

Thanks for the quick response. There are no scripts that run with the former GPO.
I did run RSOP.MSC from the test computer and received an error about not being able to read the computer settings, but the user settings were displayed. The settings the account received were from "Software Restriction Policy" and "Public
Key Policy". Nothing shows about any IE settings. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening and where these dang policies are coming from.
I've even gone as far as to go to the original GPO, and in Delegation, deny the Apply Group Policy permission to the user.
And the only policy that is applying is the test policy. The others show as either Disabled(link), or Blocked(SOM).

Tiger Killed All User Settings & Registrations: Recovery Ideas?

Booted up today to find every single user setting hosed. Dock was in default setting with bad app links, all bookmarks on Firefox gone, all email settings erased. All software registrations nada. The works.
System was shut down normally last night. I regularly maintain with Cocktail and Disk Utility.
Repairs begun:
Disk Warrior, which found some issues and repaired (apparently unrelated to the problem at hand). Then ran Disk Utility, no problems found. Still hosed.
I had been running Tiger for about two weeks, installing 10.4 from DVD and upgrading by the book. Have now returned to the safety of 10.3.9
Anyone heard of this issue, or have any suggestions on what happened or how to return to original? As this was a test of the new OS, my backup was the prior system. So only some bookmarks and outgoing mail lost. Obviously I’m not impressed with the stability of Tiger.

"
From what you are saying, it would appear (at least to me) that your User Preferences Folder got hosed. "
From the little inspection that I did (in order to retrieve data not backed up), the user settings were not deleted ... but were sidestepped. In the bookmarks for Firefox, for instance, a blank bookmarks.html file was created, while the saved ones were re-labeled bookmarks-1.html, -2 etc.
Not sure how the software registrations were "lost".
I can see the advantage in a clean install. I did this with Panther upgrading from Jaguar, and moved my registrations, passwords, etc., file-by-file. (Some registrations aren't written down and have to be moved). It's time consuming but possible. Time is money, and Tiger's time-saving enhancements have just been nulled by this sudden maintenance issue. Next year when I have time I might give Tiger another go.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 - Windows Server 2013 Standard - When logging in user hangs on - "Applying user settings" message

Dear colleges,
Thanks in advance for viewing and suggesting!
Now for whatever reason it is the XCHG server is not responsive at all when launching ECP from the other computer on the domain. When logging in to the virtual box EXCH server is hosted on it hangs on the "Applying user settings" message for
an about an hour when finally logged in 4 or 5 XCHG services won't start... I don't remember exactly which ones - "...Mailbox Transport..." is one of them.
I read about the similar being an issue with Win 2008 R2 and EXCH server 2010, and followed the advice that I needed to add some entries to the registry - didn't help, disabling IP6 (which by the way makes no sense as XCHG needs one) - still didn't help.
Would you suggest to rebuild virtual server and reinstall EXCH all together as troubleshooting Windows issues may be lengthy?
Thanks!

Thanks folks! I think I have a clue what's going through don't know how fix it yet.
The problem is with DNS unable to resolve my main domain vwc.local. It makes some XCHG services to time out when starting. The error messages in the event log suggest about domain being unavailable
to contact.
When I tried resolving vwc.local with nslookup and ping it pinged THE OLD domain's IP address. When I setup server at home I specified this old ip address but changed it to a new one when I
moved box to the office. In the office everything worked very well - I introduced office's desktops to vwc.local, built a virtual box, introduced it the domain as well. Everything was good up until I started messing with XCHG. Now the domain is not resolvable
even though I made to be pinged to the new address by updating network adapter settings at the main server by selecting some checkboxes. But the vwc.local is still not available at VW where the XCHG is hosted on. When I open Server Manager/AD DS/AD DS
manager it gives me an error message about the DC being unavailable to contact.
How do I fix this domain mess now? Now I have 3 issues to deal with:
1. My remote desktop stopped working due to trial expiration even though I licensed server for 5 RDSCALs. This is a known issue with RDS and AD DS roles hosted on one physical box. Nobody seems
to know the step by step solution to the issue. I just got bunch of recommendations that I already followed. It looks like I need to call Microsoft and have them deal with their buggy software altogether.
2. DNS/domain issues described below. Something very weird. May I try re prepping the AD DS on the main server. I didn't try that may be I will.
3. XCHG not receiving messages from the outside.
:) Let's just focus on DNS/domain for a moment.
Thanks in advance!

Querying user settings

Hi,
After quite a bit of experience developing ASP gadgets for version 4.5, we've recently moved to Plumtree version 5 and .Net.
One thing we would like to be able to do is provide a web service for use by other applications (outside the portal) which could request the retrieval of a specific User setting for a given user.
I've seen some examples of similar challenges, but still a bit bewildered how to go about this (on the Plumtree side of things, the actual process of building our own web service is fine).
The web service will be built with .Net & WSE, on a server with the Plumtree EDK installed. I've checked and our Plumtree installation also has the PTAPI QueryInterfaceAPI web service available.
Should I use a PRC session, and impersonate the user I need to get the settings for, or will setting up a session as an admin user be sufficient to query the User settings object for another user?
Any help offered would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
Charles

Sorry - I'm a doofus. I didn't read your post completely.
You're right - if you want to attach to this service w/o going through Plumtree/BEA first to obtain a login ID you'd need to impersonate a user (I'd suggest a secured admin account where the credentials are encrypted).
Try this... (server API)
In your web.config
<appSettings> <add key="UserID" value="administrator" /> <add key="UserPassword" value="" /></appSettings>
Encrypt these or do something to protect them.

Is it possible to export user settings and import into same environment?

Hi guys,
I exported a user profile settings into a file and triedd to import saved file into same environment where I exported, but I am getting following error
"Login name already in use"
I followed the same process for restoring groups.Exported groups into a file and imported saved file into same environment, I was successfully restored thr groups.But I am failing to restore the user settings.
Any help or suggestions on this issue is greately appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Importing into the same environment is not supported.
Instead, you could create all the test users in production with all the roles and then deactivate the user, so they are not usable.
After you overwrite the non-production DBs with the production DB, you could then run a script (you will have to create it first) to activate all the users.
Will this work for you?

Travel & expenses: Remove User settings option

Hi,
we have implemented Travel & Expense module in Portal using ABAP web dynpro. We are at EP 7.0 EHp2.
Navigation : ESS -> Travel & expenses -> My Trips and Expenses
Here If the User perform Right Click option then he get the option for : " User settings" and if he choose User settings then he further get the option to select the column / tab's to hide or unhide.
So we want to disable the right click option for the user OR at least remove the option of User Settings from User.

Hi Vishal,
as far as I know, the right click cannot be disabled. I have two suggestions:
1. Modify the WebDynpro Application and add the Parameter WDDISABLEUSERPERSONALIZATION = X.
2. Alternatively (this is what we did) you can call the application WD_GLOBAL_SETTING in SE80 and globally disable all user personalization for all applications. This avoids endusers from calling helpdesk because "fields are gone" etc. pretty well...

Want to export user settings from Office 2007 on client, to be able to import in Office 2013?

Upgrading from Office 2007 to Office 2013. We may need to save the user settings on the client computer, because we are moving some of the systems from 32-bit to 64-bit. How can we export the settings to a folder?

Hi,
Could you please tell us what is included in user setting? Such as the customized Quick Access Toolbar settings, customize ribbon settings, or profile in Outlook?
Generally, we can’t upgrade operating system from 32-bit to 64-bit directly, we need to reinstall 64-bit operating system.
Office 2007 don’t provide the Import/Export button like Office 2010/Office 2013, we can’t export QAT setting and customize ribbon setting directly.
To customize an installation of Office 2013, you can use the Office Customization Tool (OCT) to perform tasks such as the following:
Specifying installation options
Customizing how Office applications and features are installed
Configuring default user settings
Managing additional content: add or remove files, registry entries or shortcuts
Configuring Outlook options: setting the default profile, adding email accounts, and specifying Exchange settings
For more detail information:

It's recommended to download and install

User Settings lost after session is released

I am having a problem with the User settings being lost after the user logs off the system.
menu settings, fields displayed in Marketing Documents, displayed User Defined fields and the
sequence of User defined fields get lost after the session ends. This does not happen to all users,
just some users. The users that keep losing their settings keep losing their settings, the ones that do not have a
problem seem never to have a problem.
has anyone else experienced this problem and if so, how has it been resolved?
Thanks in Advance!!!
